Premier League: The Premier League plans to stick with winter break despite several match postponements

Claudio Ranieri has urged the Premier League to rearrange Watford’s trip to Burnley during the upcoming winter break. The game was postponed for a second time this week due to a covid outbreak at Burnley. Ranieri said: “I hope when we play against Burnley we will have some more days to recover for another match. We have a week free and we can maybe play a little earlier.”

But the Premier League still intends to keep the near two-week break clear this winter. After Tottenham vs Chelsea this Sunday, January 23, there is no Premier League fixture until February 5, with Watford and Burnley’s game re-arranged to the same weekend as the FA Cup fourth round.

The rest window comes amid a winter World Cup year, and while it has been ring-fenced by FIFA for international matches, European nations have not scheduled fixtures. Burnley’s game against Watford which had already been pushed back from December 15 became the 22nd postponed Premier League fixture on Tuesday, with a new date already confirmed.
