The Mirror: Many clubs are unhappy with the Premier League's decision to postpone the match, believing that they are biased in favor of the giants

According to the Mirror, more and more clubs are currently believing that the Premier League is more biased in favor of the big clubs in terms of delaying the decision to play.

One club was unhappy with the decision to cancel the Arsenal and Tottenham matches, arguing that the rules were being abused and that the big clubs were often the ones who took the lead. For example, before the match against Tottenham, Arsenal had only Erdegaard who tested positive for the new crown, but Arsenal was still allowed to postpone the game, which made Spurs feel very dissatisfied.

It is reported that more and more clubs are currently dissatisfied with similar decisions in the Premier League, believing that their decisions are unfair and are losing their credibility as event managers. Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Norwich have all been rejected for applications to postpone their matches, while another club claims to play only against teams whose starters have not had a positive case of COVID-19. Such a result has caused dissatisfaction among many clubs in the Premier League, and Arsenal's delayed play behavior has become the trigger for this dissatisfaction.

While Arsenal's application for an extension of the game is within their rights, other clubs believe Arsenal did benefit from the decision and that big clubs are always able to take sides. The current rule is that if a team can have 13 players who can play and 1 goalkeeper to play, then they have to follow the rules of the game and play against the opponent. But the reason people are angry about Arsenal's actions is that they have only one COVID-19-positive case in their squad, although they had another positive case last Saturday. However, other clubs have seen far more COVID-19-positive cases than Arsenal, and they have also been asked to keep playing.

According to the Mirror, even if the suspended Xhaka and the players on loan return, Arsenal will not be able to gather 14 players. Coupled with Aubameyang, Thomas Partey, Ernenni and Pepe, who were called up by the national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, as well as Saka, Chambers and Tierney, who were injured in the previous match against Liverpool, it is not yet certain that Arsenal's second leg of the Premier League Cup match with Liverpool will be played on time.

At present, the Premier League's tournament operations have proposed to the Premier League's board of directors that the club's medical staff contact the Premier League's chief medical officer to jointly assess the player's injuries to understand the specific situation. The Premier League believes Arsenal need to abide by the current rules of the game, but if they really can't get together 14 players or another positive case of COVID-19, the game will be postponed.

In addition, the senior management of the Premier League has also considered the chain problem brought by the new crown virus, some teams' players may be injured due to fatigue from long-term games, coupled with the impact of the new crown virus, there are many players who cannot play. They said they would focus on these issues in future meetings and that they would pay real attention to the interests of the athletes.
