While other English leagues are recovering from the winter break, the Premier League is on a short halt and is not in action on the weekend of January 7-9.
Clubs in the Premier League, however, continue to take the field.
It’s time for the FA Cup third round in England and so this weekend will see all the Premier League and Championship teams play their first FA Cup match of the season. With the first two tiers scheduled for national cup competition, the league will be forced to take a break.

But fans won’t have to wait too long for the EPL’s next game – there are some rescheduled games from the December COVID-related postponements that cause the league to start over a few days earlier than originally planned.
There are three rescheduled Premier League matches that will take place between Tuesday, January 11, and Wednesday, January 12. This will be quickly followed by a full day of the 22nd week of the weekend of January 14-16.
When are the next Premier League matches?
Following the weekend of FA Cup third round action with 32 matches at stake in England, the Premier League will take center stage once again with several key matchups at both ends of the table.

The action resumes with three of the 17 games that have been postponed due to outbreaks of COVID-19 between teams. That midweek offer is followed by a full slate to be played over three weekend days and highlighted by a massive clash between Manchester City and Chelsea that could open up the title race.
