The English Premier League has been postponed to April 4 following a meeting of Shareholders today after Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi both tested positive for coronavirus.

There were plans to play games behind closed doors until further notice after some Champions League and Europa League matches were held without fans during the week.

However, Watford boss Nigel Pearson called for a suspension during his press conference this afternoon as opposed to playing in empty stadia, and that has now been implemented.

This weekend’s Premier League games were initially scheduled to hold, with Watford set to host Leicester City tomorrow.

Better this than play behind closed door. Take care of yourself that's the most important. Hopefully see you in 3 weeks time
