David Moyes and two players tested positive tonight and I believe they were sent home from the London Stadium where they are playing Luton.

This raises several questions.

1. How can the game go ahead when the west ham players have been in contact with the manager and David Moyes?

2. What (if anything) does it mean for Arsenal and Newcastle who they have played in the past 10 days?

Good to see that the Os were trying to resolve the fixture problem.

If anything, I suspect that PL/UEFA money over-rode the EFL
(the consequences to the PL/UEFA if the Spurs squad had a serious
infection outbreak) . Ironic in the case of UEFA, as they are the ones
who have forced Spurs to have so many qualifying fixtures + in a
compressed time window.
 
Here's my conspiracy theory for what it's worth.

The EFL want to play the game but a look at the seasons schedule and Chelsea def being in europe means their is no chance to catch up with the oustanding tie till the week the semi is supposed to be played.

Unless spurs lose tonight, then they can fudge it by playing it on tues and the winner play Chelsea on Thursday. They will argue spurs were gonna play tues/thurs if they got through in the Europa and the O's should be grateful they got the game played and maybe another.

If spurs win tonight it's a non starter and they will be given the bye.

I reckon it will be annouched either way tommorow along with the 4th round schedule

That's a live stream. Some American chatting about Orient and Covid. Don't know who it is, but it's not Travis.

Travis appears about two minutes in

The quote in question is "We made a dumb decision to choose to take the test when other clubs played in the Carabao Cup third round without taking the test, it shows the inconsistencies by the EFL."
 
As I stated the other day :

1. If the Os have to forfeit the tie, ensure they are financially compensated
to the sum they would have received if the game was broadcast as planned.

2. Spurs make some financial donation from whatever proceeds they make
in the tournament from R3 to their end.
