Arsenal will get an additional day’s rest, as their Premier League game at home to Wolves is set for 13 December.<\/p>\n
Oliver Glasner’s Palace, who lost 1-0 at Arsenal on Sunday, have commitments in the Premier League and the Conference League every midweek until Christmas, and January also has no empty slots.<\/p>\n
There is a midweek round of Premier League fixtures until 6 January, with the first legs of the EFL Cup semi-finals taking place during the week of 13 January.<\/p>\n
They are followed by the final two rounds of the Champions League, with the second legs of the EFL Cup ties in the week beginning 2 February.<\/p>\n
The fixture congestion is complicated by Palace drawing Arsenal, who will be playing in the Champions League on those midweek evenings in January.<\/p>\n
There is little chance the Premier League would move two matches to facilitate the EFL Cup tie being played on a weekend.<\/p>\n
In 2019 Liverpool fielded different teams in the EFL Cup and the Club World Cup within 24 hours.<\/p>\n
A young side lost 5-0 to Aston Villa before a senior team beat Monterrey 2-1 to reach the final of the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
In 2020 Spurs were due to play Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup and Shkendija in a Europa League qualifier within 48 hours.<\/p>\n
However, Spurs were given an EFL Cup walkover after several Orient players tested positive for Covid-19 and the game was called off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal will get an additional day’s rest, as their Premier League game at home to Wolves is set…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-153283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-latest-news","17":"tag-latestnews","18":"tag-main-news","19":"tag-mainnews","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-top-stories","22":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115463073851351401","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
