The Premier League has rejected at least one request for a match to be postponed due to positive Covid-19 cases this week, it's understood.

The match between Tottenham and Brighton last Sunday had to be called off due to an outbreak at the north London club, while late on Monday night the league announced the Brentford v Manchester United match had been postponed.
