Spuds and Manure get their matches postponed because they are important. Other clubs don't matter.

There's no evidence of that. Although it would be good to know the criteria.
Are Watford important ?

So, what is the criterion then. Only covid cases taken into account and not injuries? Surely, with 11 or 12 players out injured or covid positive we have as many missing as any other team?

Spurs and Leicester both asked for their match this week to be postponed and were told no. There is no big 6 conspiracy about postponements.

You can’t include injured players. We have dozens of u23 players, not to mention loads on loan. 3 or 4 isn’t going to be enough or every game would be off for the foreseeable.

The Premier League said Watford had "an insufficient number of first-team players available to fulfil the match" but did not state any numbers that are available, sick or injured.
