The Premier League match calendar looks a little different this holiday season, especially on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Come Christmas time and the build-up to the new year, the Premier League delivers an action-packed schedule of matches while the four other top leagues across Europe take a brief hiatus. Last season, there were 20 games from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day, including eight matches on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 alone.
Fast forward to this season and there were zero matches on Christmas Eve, a full Saturday with not a single game and only three matches on Dec. 30. Plus, there were zero matches on New Year's Eve and only one on New Year's Day.
