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.
