A 2nd of the upcoming slate of midweek Premier League fixtures is in line to be postponed, it has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Covid chaos<\/h2>\n

The last couple of weeks, of course, have proven nothing short of a disaster in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

This comes as the new Omicron variant of Covid-19 rapidly spreads across the English top-flight landscape.<\/p>\n

Outbreaks have been reported at the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham and Watford, leaving the Premier League powers that be with little choice but to postpone a host of fixtures at the last minute.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Just this weekend, for example, the scheduled meetings between all of Liverpool and Leeds, Wolves and Watford, and Burnley and Everton have fallen victim to the Covid surge in England.<\/p>\n

And now, as alluded to above, yet another fixture, this time part of the upcoming slate of midweek ties, has been added to the ever-lengthening list of Premier League postponements.<\/p>\n

The matchup in question? Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

As confirmed by reliable outlet The Athletic, the Emirates showdown is in line to be called off at any moment, owing to the situation in the latter\u2019s camp:<\/p>\n
