Premier League postpone FIFA talks on '39th game'

The Premier League have pulled out of their trip to see FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Thursday because they want more time to develop their plans for overseas matches.

The League’s chief executive Richard Scudamore had planned to go to FIFA headquarters with England's Football Association chairman Lord Triesman in order to try to persuade Blatter of the merits of each club playing a 39th game in a foreign city.
