Gary and Jamie have their say on whether or not the Africa Cup of Nations should be allowed to affect the scheduling of games.
Gary said before the north London derby had been postponed that he was speaking on Friday Night Football.
I believe that all teams must play their games now that the league is expanded.
"If it was solely down to Covid in extraordinary circumstances where there was 10 or 15 players out, but we're now talking about teams for the last few weeks where there's no doubt they've been calling games off based upon whether they think they've got the best It has to stop.
I should've talked about this three or four weeks ago.
"Manchester United and other teams have a lot of players in their squad, but they can't get 13 to 16 players together."
It should be rejected for me.
I feel that we have to make teams play now that there is a load of Covid cases coming today at the club, without knowing the exact detail, I feel that it has to stop.
Young players should be given a chance.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher was speaking on FNF before a decision was made.
I want this to be about the whole of the league. Every club has done this.
No other league in Europe is doing this. In their last game, they played a 16-year-old and that tells you where they are. Why can't we do that? The young players can't be given an opportunity.
Everyone is in the same boat and I'm with Gary. If it's an outbreak of Covid and it's decimated the squad, I can understand that, but players being in the AFCON tournament and just normal injuries, that's not the reason for it.
This is an opportunity for the younger players to get a chance.
There's a lot riding on the games in the premier league but at the moment teams up and down the country are taking advantage of the situation.

What are the rules for postponements?
Covid protocols were included in the Premier League handbook and the board will only allow the rearrangement or postponement of a league match in exceptional circumstances.
The board make calls on a case-by-case basis, and by way of guidance from the league, permission for a postponement will not be granted if a club has more than 14 players available.
A new guide explaining match postponement protocols was published after a number of games were postponed.
There are factors considered when deciding to delay a game.
The impact of COVID-19 infections on a club's squad, as well as injuries, illness and those isolating, and the number of players available on the squad list and any Under-21 players with appropriate experience are some of the things that are listed. The match will be postponed if a club can't field 13 outfield players or a goalkeeper from its squad list.
The number of individuals affected, the sequence and source of infections, and their proximity to the match in question are some of the things that can be found in the status of any COVID-19 outbreak within a club.
A club's ability to prepare its players for a match.
There is a question of whether the health and safety of players and staff is at risk if they play the match.
