Manchester City nervously wait on new Covid test results that could spark Premier League fixture chaos amid fears new strain has spread through their squad - with Everton 'feeling disrespected' after being left out of talks over cancelling their game

The Premier League is braced for Manchester City to reveal the full extent of their Covid-19 outbreak amid fears of fixture chaos in England's top flight.

There are calls for the season to be paused for two weeks in a 'circuit breaker' shutdown following a spike in positive cases among players and staff at a number of Premier League clubs.

It comes after at least five City players tested positive for the virus, forcing the postponement of their trip to Everton earlier this week and leaving Sunday's game with Chelsea in jeopardy.
