It is understood Aston Villa (v Bristol City), Fulham (v Sheffield Wednesday), Burnley (v Millwall), Newcastle (v Morecambe) and Manchester United (v Luton) were happy to follow EFL protocols and will not test their opposition. Brentford turned down West Brom's offer to have their squad tested.
Questions need yo be asked .
How can a competition kick a team out because they
Take a test at the request of another team .
Yet other clubs seem to think there is no need for testing
And when one of those prem teams come down with it, delaying the season...then what? It will all come back to these fixtures. Its a joke but unfortunately no one will care until the £££ in the prem is affected.
I kind of think this could be a masterstroke move by the club .
End of the EFL & the entire game to be taken over by the F.A

Unlikely admittedly , but you never know .
And we get immunity early on in the season and rack up the point through forfeited games when everyone else gets it later on.

will be ( for me) Barking FC v Dunstable at Mayesbrook Park in the Football Association Challenge Cup 1st Qualifying Round (it is actually the 3rd round of this season's competition)

This is getting confusing
Talksport News just annouced
Its still not officially been called off .
Yet sky have said it has been postponed !
Would be great if it was still on and Sky have 2 hours to get their equipment set up
The commentator of tonights game has just texted live & he says
" still no movement at the ground
2 & 1/2 hours till kick off & still no official word ".

Talks ongoing between both parties & EFL
discussing implications
Travis hopeful a new date can be set .
or the £££ from the EFL
Indeed & also the 0.00001 % chance we beat them & would gain
more money from sky if Chelsea were to beat Barnsley.
I doubt LOFC v Barnsley would be top of many tv companies lists
for entertainment
TONIGHT’S CARABAO CUP MATCH BETWEEN LEYTON ORIENT AND TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR IS NOT TAKING PLACE THIS EVENING AS SCHEDULED.
Discussions are ongoing between the relevant stakeholders in regards to the implications of the fixture not taking place tonight and a further update will be provided in due course.
Leyton Orient, the EFL and the relevant authorities are conducting a thorough review of the club’s Covid-19 secure procedures with the view to reopening the stadium and training ground as soon as possible.
The relevant authorities need to conduct a thorough review of the EFL's Covid procedures as you can bet your life that other clubs are also affected but not been identified yet.
Compromise on the table is that LOFC have to abide by competition rules and forfeit the game, Spurs are now willing to cover our losses to avoid an unwanted fixture reaarangement. seems like a good "get out" for all parties.
