Aston Villa have reportedly asked the Premier League to postpone their second league match in a row and reschedule Sunday's fixture against Everton.
Dean Smith's side are continuing to battle against a Covid-19 outbreak within the squad, and successfully requested for their Wednesday night fixture against Tottenham to be put back as a result.
Now the Midlands club have asked to avoid another match-day in order to facilitate the full recovery of the squad and get players back, as report the Times.
Villa's clash with Spurs was axed after nine players and five members of staff tested positive last week, with the club also forced to field academy players in an FA Cup clash with Liverpool, which they lost 4-1.
