"The decision was agreed between both teams and the FA following a number of positive Covid-19 test results and injuries at Everton," the statement said.

Chelsea's Dec. 19 meeting with West Ham United and its first game back after the Christmas break against Tottenham Hotspur were both postponed due to COVID-19 outbreaks and it has not played in the league since losing 1-0 to Reading on Dec. 11.
