Premier League winter break edges closer as talks continue

Premier League fixtures would be scheduled across two weekends to give each team a break without the competition entirely halting.

The Premier League has reiterated its willingness to consider a winter break.

The Times reported that an agreement has been reached between the Premier League, the Football Association and the Football League for an annual break in early February from the 2019/2020 season by playing FA Cup fifth-round fixtures midweek, and without replays.
