Three Premier League games were been called off, with Liverpool’s game against Leeds, Watford’s trip to Wolves and Burnley vs Everton being put back.

Fans will be hoping more top flight games aren’t postponed due to rising rates of the highly contagious Omricon variant of Covid-19.

There were just two games scheduled to take place in the Championship, four in League One and three in League Two on December 26.

There was anger as Blackburn’s trip to Hull was cancelled at the last minute, just under two hours till kick off, when Rovers fans had already made their way to Humberside for the Championship clash.
