There are no meetings between the Premier League’s so-called ‘big six’ on the weekend of 12-13 November – the one before the World Cup – following a request by the Football Association.
England will meet up on 14 November before flying to Qatar the following day.
Special arrangements have been made to allow more time between games played across the three festive match rounds.
