The match between Aston Villa and Tottenham which was scheduled to be held on Wednesday has been postponed.  The Premier League on Monday announced the postponement of Wednesday's match. 

In a statement, Premier league said, "The match between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at Villa Park on Wednesday 13 January, has been rescheduled following a decision by the Premier League Board." The statement further added, "Following Villa's request to rearrange the fixture, and due to the number of players and staff who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or have been placed in isolation by the club, the Premier League had no other option than to reschedule the match." 

The postponement of the clash came after Aston Villa requested to rearrange the fixture. The club made a request as a number of players and staff either tested positive for COVID-19 or have been placed in isolation by the club. Wishing players and staff a swift recovery from corona, Premier League said they will rearrange Villa's match against Spurs as soon as possible. As a result of this rescheduling, Spurs will now play their home match against Fulham in its place on Wednesday. The fixture was previously postponed on December 30. With Fulham playing on Wednesday, their home fixture against Chelsea will be moved from Friday to Saturday.
