Arsenal-Wolverhampton and Leeds-Aston Villa have already been postponed during this 20th day of the Premier League. It is now the turn of the meeting scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 p.m. between Everton and Newcastle to be played at a later date.
The Magpies, still stuck in 19th place in the championship despite the draw obtained against Manchester United yesterday (1-1), are victims of several cases of Covid-19 in their workforce and within their technical staff. The Premier League therefore preferred to decide to postpone this match.
𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗙𝗙 ❌#NUFC‘s trip to Goodison Park to face Everton on Thursday has been postponed due to Covid-19 cases and injuries amongst the Magpies’ first team squad.
