Premier League and
Football League insist they have no plans to pause the season despite nearly 50 matches being postponed since
Christmas because of a spike in
Coronavirus cases.

However, the mounting scale of the problem was again illustrated on Tuesday when the Premier League announced a record 18 new positive tests among players and staff from tests conducted last week – including five at
Manchester City, whose game against Everton was called off on Monday night.
