This is after a spike in COVID-19 cases in the city of Leicester, which prompted authorities to suggest extending lockdown measures there. 

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says he's ok with whatever the Premier League decides about the venue.

Meanwhile, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has assured that his squad is safe, as they live outside city limits, and take extra precautions to avoid infection.
