The fact that they have just loaned out 2 eligible players in the last few days damages their case. Plus Xhaka missing is his faultIf they are admitting to only 1 case the Premier League will reject it just like they did with Palace.

Personally, I think the PL will reject it out of hand. It’s a nonsense attempt to postpone. Game will go ahead.
By allowing Leicester to cancel their game against Everton due to ‘ injuries,Covid cases and the AFCON’ they have set a dangerous (and frankly ludicrous) precedent.
There is no way this should be off and Woolwich are being completely disingenuous in asking for the postponement.WANKERS.
Of the LONG LIST of potential absentees, only Martin Østeguard has COVID...If Woolwich genuinely cannot field the required amount of players but it is not a direct result of Covid absentees, then fine call the match off, but it should absolutely be a forfeit and not a postponement.
It will completely destroy what little integrity is left in the English game if the FA start allowing some of the biggest clubs in the league postpone matches due to problems largely of the applying clubs making.
I think that's the precedent (and loophole) AraeAnal are trying to take advantage of ...Didn't Leicester get a game postponed because of Covid, injuries and AFCON?
You get my jimmy jam though, dont ya?I try not to take this personally
If we were in their position we'd be screaming holy hell at Levy for allowing players out on loan last week like they just did.It should be called off.
Take the hatred out and think if we were in their position.
It's another fcuked-up season but there's no joy in beating a team with so few first team players available.
The only reason to play the game would be to limit our fixture congestion but beyond that I see no basis for the game to be played.
By the time we do play them you can bet they will have the advantages but we will have to deal with that as and when.

As a gambling man, I would bet big on it being postponed given the option. Instinct not fact, fingers crossed it’s played. Their 11 is better than ours, but their squad is proper catpissIt's going to the panel for a ruling tomorrow so not sure where you get zero doubt from
