Several Premier League games were postponed last season, mostly due to weather, including Arsenal’s North London derby against Tottenham.
Until now, it is unknown how many players were infected with covid at the Emirates and why the game was called off, but the postponement infuriated Tottenham fans.
The Premier League was also chastised for not being transparent enough about why matches were canceled.
This has forced them to make a rule change that tightens the reason why a game will be called off, making it very hard for matches to be postponed in the upcoming season, according to The Daily Mail.
The report says the EPL will only agree to postpone matches for ‘truly exceptional’ circumstances from next season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
The fixture overload that most clubs experienced near the end of last season will make most of them frown at the prospect of having to cancel games.
It is always preferable to play your matches on time, especially if you are involved in multiple competitions.
Hopefully, we will invest in squad depth and not have to worry about not having enough players for certain games during the upcoming season.
