For the first time in its history the Premier League is taking a two-week winter break.

Don't fret, this doesn't mean you will be without top-flight English football for a fortnight, because games are staggered over the next two weekends.

Matchweek 26 sees eight teams playing on 8-9 February and the other 12 playing from 14-17 February.

The break was agreed in June 2018 by the Football Association, Premier League and English Football League.

The FA described it as "a significant moment" and - with the Euros coming up this summer - one that "will greatly benefit club and country".

Expect to see Premier League stars snapped at luxury resorts, taking selfies with Salt Bae and being put through their paces in warm-weather training camps.

Who plays when?

First weekend:

Saturday, 8 February : Everton v Crystal Palace 12:30 GMT, Brighton v Watford 17:30

Sunday, 9 February: Sheffield United v Bournemouth 14:00, Manchester City v West Ham 16:30

Second weekend:

Friday, 14 February: Wolves v Leicester 20:00

Saturday, 15 February: Southampton v Burnley 12:30, Norwich v Liverpool 17:30

Sunday, 16 February: Aston Villa v Tottenham 14:00, Arsenal v Newcastle 16:30

Monday, 17 February: Chelsea v Manchester United 20:00

Who gets the longest break?

The scheduling of FA Cup replays this week meant some teams had to play during the 'mid-season player break', which upset Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham and Southampton all saw their time off reduced because of FA Cup games.

Had any of those sides been scheduled to play in the first weekend of the winter break, they would have had two full weeks off.
