       this weekend we saw yet more fixtures called off when they
       didn't need to be according to ex players/pundits but here is
       the current list at the moment
       Date To Be Confirmed
       Arsenal v wolves
       Arsenal v liverpool
       Aston Villa v burnley
       Brighton v spurs
       Burnley v spurs
       Burnley v Everton
       Burnley v leicester
       Chelsea v arsenal
       Chelsea v leicester
       Everton v leicester
       everton v Newcastle
       leeds v aston villa
       leicester v norwich
       liverpool v leeds
       Man Utd v brighton
       Southampton v Newcastle
       spurs v arsenal
       watford v Crystal Palace
       wolves v watford
       currently 19 which is going to be hard trying to fit them all
       into the remaining months of the season possibly play some
       alongside Uefa match days or poss extending the season
       especially if we get anymore if you know what I mean

       F A cup weekends is a possibility for some games ie Villa v
       Burnley or Leeds v Villa
       As all three sides were eliminated in round 3.

       There should be zero need whatsoever to extend the season.
       It's only mid-January and the season doesn't finish until 22nd
       May.

       No chance of the season being extended.  Those that have
       postponed games will just need to play three games a week if
       necessary.

       Leicester's schedule will be hilarious what with Conference
       League and domestic cup matches to play as well.

       Burnley v Watford makes it 20
       it will be interesting to see when these 20 fixtures will be
       fitted into the season as they can’t extend it

       At least Burnley don't have UEFA competitions to contend with,
       but they are going to have to start playing soon.  Their
       relegation rivals won't be happy as they are going to have a
       good idea what they are going to need to do to catch them.  They
       need to schedule the games soon, they can't be going into the
       final month with games in hand as that would be grossly unfair
       on the others.

       I dont envy Burnley, starting from the bottom rung, the extra
       pressure on them will be immense especially with such a small
       squad. Most teams prefer point to games in hand.

       Points on the board are usually better, but if Newcastle,
       Watford and Norwich don't pick up lots of points it will give an
       advantage to Burnley as they will know that draws in their games
       in hand will put it back in their control.  Likewise if the
       others do start to get wins Burnley will know they need to go
       all out for wins in those games in hand.
