Don’t forget to update your calendars…
The two-week mid-season player break will take place in February and will be structured to ensure that Premier League matches will still be played every weekend over that period.
Each weekend during the break will feature five Premier League games on the first weekend and five on the following weekend.
Arsenal’s break will be February 3rd through the 15th.
To incorporate this, The FA has agreed to move the Emirates FA Cup fifth round matches to midweek. In addition, from the start of the 2019-20 season, fifth round replays will be removed from the calendar, being replaced with extra-time and penalties in the first tie.
All three divisions within the EFL will remain unchanged, with a full League program for all 72 EFL clubs taking place on each of the weekends where there is a break.
