[Football] Winter break

[Official Old Man]

Games are being split in February, five played on the weekend of the 8th and five on the 15th. But when will we be told which games are moving as they are all scheduled for the 8th at the moment. Plus all on TV so no 3pm KO for two Saturdays. 10 days off means a holiday for me as well.
Interestingly, EPL rules have put a ban on ANY lucrative games. Players must rest.

Arsenal v Newcastle
Aston Villa v Tottenham
Brighton v Watford
Chelsea v Manchester United
Everton v Crystal Palace
Manchester City v West Ham
Norwich v Liverpool
Sheffield United v Bournemouth
Southampton v Burnley
Wolves v Leicester

Maybe they'll do it in alphabetical order. Presume no games on Sunday? TV matches 12 and 5 on Saturday? Couple of good ones there

No, the games are being played over the weekend as usual so with 5 games I'm guessing 2 x Saturday, 2 x Sunday and either the Friday or Monday. But as ALL games are televised there will be no 3pm KO's. Looking deeper it seems that the TV companies will decide who plays when. This date is 13th December (or within a week after!).

Because of the Winter break there are only 2 games today.

Everyone's favourite Nigels are up first, at Everton. Home win please.

Winter break, just like they were all pleading for .............. now the poor lambs have to face the horrifying prospect of playing two matches in some weeks to get all the fixtures played by the end of the season. It's almost like turkeys voting for Christmas!
