FA Cup Replays Impact Premier League Winter Break

Seven teams face shortened rest period, while Burnley enjoys longest break.

Seven Premier League teams are set to lose part of their winter break due to FA Cup third-round replays. The teams include Crystal Palace, Everton, Brentford, Wolves, Luton, Nottingham Forest and West Ham.
The Premier League introduced a split winter break in 2019-20, but this is only the second time it has occurred due to the Covid pandemic and the Qatar World Cup.
FA Cup replays could be scrapped from next season, according to BBC Sport.
Burnley, who lost their third-round tie, are set to have the longest break with 19 days between games.
Several Premier League teams are using the break for warm-weather training camps, while others are giving players time off to rest.
