Everton have released a further statement revealing the club's "regret" that their match against Man City was postponed on Monday evening.
The Blues were due to welcome Pep Guardiola's squad to Goodison Park for their final home match of what has been an eventful 2020.
However, on Monday afternoon the Premier League confirmed that the match had been called off after five positive covid-19 cases were identified at Man City.
Everton's next home match will now come against West Ham United on New Year's Day.
And the club have released a further statement confirming an earlier understanding that they will be requesting full disclosure at how Monday's decision was reached, and their regret at not playing their match as scheduled.
The statement read: "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.
"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."
