Norwich boss Dean Smith attacks 'LUNACY' of two games in 48 hours while Premier League clubs are suffering with Covid outbreaks and questions 'integrity of the competition'

Norwich head coach Dean Smith feels it is 'lunacy' to expect teams to play two games in 48 hours as clubs continue to be hit by coronavirus outbreaks.

The Canaries' Premier League match at West Ham was called off last weekend because of the on-going Covid-19 issues, with just four of the scheduled 10 top-flight games able to be played as scheduled.

Liverpool's clash with Leeds and Watford's trip to Wolves on Boxing Day have both now been postponed.
