As a result of Mikel Arteta testing positive for Covid-19, Arsenal’s visit to Brighton has been postponed.

The game is the first Premier League fixture to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Premier League had planned to continue as normal but will now hold a meeting on Friday morning to determine their next steps.
