Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's David Ornstein and Adam Crafton with news of the latest covid-induced fixture headache as Spurs v Fulham is rearranged at the last minute to replace the game Spurs were due to have against Aston Villa, and we consider the overall picture for the Premier League moving forward as cases continue to rise across the country.
There's also news of Arsenal's Rob Holding signing a new contract just months after he was heading for the exit door at the Emirates, we have detail on Tottenham's interest in Stuttgart's Nicolas Gonzalez, plus there's fallout from the Edinson Cavani disciplinary case as the Uruguayan players association continue to defend Cavani's reputation.
We also hear from The Athletic's West Brom correspondent Steve Madeley with the inside track on Matheus Pereira's situation at the Hawthorns as tension grows over his desire to sign a new and improved contract.
