Leicester's game against Everton is postponed again with Brendan Rodgers' side left with only eight outfield players due to Covid-19 cases, injuries and Africa Cup of Nations call-ups

Leicester's clash with Everton has been postponed for the second time in a month after Brendan Rodgers' team were left with only eight outfield players.

The FA Cup holders began their defence of the trophy with a comfortable win over Watford despite having 17 members of their first-team squad unavailable, with none expected back for the trip to Goodison Park scheduled for Tuesday.

This match has already been rearranged once after a Covid-19 outbreak in the Leicester squad meant they did not travel to Merseyside for the original December 19 date.
