With fixtures falling like a drunk at Christmas, many are wondering if the Premier League is likely to lock down once again.

A meeting will take place on Monday between the Premier League, all clubs and the club captains (who Arsenal will send is anyone’s guess) to discuss likely scenarios, with curbs expected after Christmas.

Should fans be excluded from matches, but football carries on, we will see a return to staggered kick-offs so that every game can be televised by Sky Sports and BT Sport.

There is also some talk that the BBC and Amazon could pick up some of the extra matches.
