Though a final decision is yet to be reached, but talks
are at an advanced stage after an agreement was reached between the FA, the
Premier League and the EFL.
Plans
for a two-week Premier League winter break could be announced before the end of
this season.
A break would be held in late January and
early February 2020 and staggered to ensure games could be televised on each
weekend.
The Football Association council talked about
the move on Wednesday after reaching a deal to play the FA Cup fifth round in
midweek without replays.There will still be replays in the third and
fourth rounds.
That would limit any potential financial
impact on English Football League (EFL) teams missing out on extra gate
revenue. The break, which would only be for Premier
League clubs, would not affect Christmas or New Year fixtures.
