Palace manager Vieira tests positive, game at Spurs is on

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace had its request for Sunday’s game at Tottenham to be postponed rejected by the Premier League over a coronavirus outbreak at the club. Palace hasn’t disclosed the number of players who tested positive. The league will have considered that Palace had enough players to fulfil the fixture in north London. But Palace will be without manager Patrick Vieira who has started self-isolating for at least a week after the club said Sunday that he tested positive. The game at Tottenham is one of six Premier League fixtures on the Boxing Day program.
