When can Premier League games take place?
A calendar already congested by the World Cup in Qatar — the Premier League stops for six weeks in mid-November — does not have space for midweek rearrangements due to spaces taken up by European competitions and the Carabao Cup.
Games that have been postponed will be rescheduled in the week commencing January 16.
Any Premier League club that is unable to play on the next matchday due to another postponement of the pre-World Cup international break, will be without playing for four weeks.
