The Premier League Plays On, for Now

The decision is, for now, that there is no decision. The Premier League's clubs met Monday to discuss whether, after a weekend during which six matches had to be postponed because of COVID-19 outbreaks, there might be value in some sort of break to try to prevent the spread of the disease. Without as much as a vote, they decided to keep going ahead as scheduled with a further meeting provisionally arranged to discuss the situation in two weeks.

There had been a proposal, supported by Liverpool among others, to delay one complete round of festive matches.
