Everton have confirmed the date of their rescheduled game against Manchester City.
The Toffees were due to host Pep Guardiola's side at Goodison Park on December 28 but the game was postponed on the day due to concerns over an increase in Covid-19 cases in City's squad.
It has now been rearranged to Wednesday, February 17, with an 8.15pm kick-off and will be shown live on Amazon Prime, like the original fixture was supposed to be.
The fixture adds to an already-busy February for Carlo Ancelotti's side and comes between games against Fulham on February 14 and the Merseyside derby on February 20.
Everton released a statement after the initial game was postponed between the two sides, expressing regret at the fact the match could not go ahead.
The Toffees also confirmed they would be seeking a full reasoning on why the game could not go ahead, having been left out of the Premier League's decision-making process.
"Everton Football Club regret the postponement of tonight’s match against Manchester City - not only for the 2,000 fans who would have been attending, but for supporters on Merseyside and across the world," the statement said.
"Our players were prepared for the game, as were both the team staff and everyone at Goodison.
"Matchday is the most important date in our calendar. And this was a big one.
"Whilst Everton will always have public safety uppermost, we will be requesting full disclosure of all the information that Manchester City provided to the Premier League so the club can be clear on why this decision was taken."
