Aston Villa vs Burnley called off

Aston Villa have announced their Premier League game against Burnley has been postponed.

The club has recorded more positive covid test results within the squad.

The fixture had been the only remaining 3pm fixture on Saturday but UK goverment mandates forced the game to be called off just over two hours before kick off.

Further positive results received on Saturday morning left Steven Gerrard's squad too depleted for the game to go ahead.

It is the sixth top-flight game to be postponed this weekend and leaves Leeds' clash against Arsenal as the only remaining match in the division to be played on Saturday.
