Arsenal will get an additional day’s rest, as their Premier League game at home to Wolves is set for 13 December.<\/p>\n
Oliver Glasner’s Palace, who lost 1-0 at Arsenal on Sunday, have commitments in the Premier League and the Conference League every midweek until Christmas, and January also has no empty slots.<\/p>\n
There is a midweek round of Premier League fixtures until 6 January, with the first legs of the EFL Cup semi-finals taking place during the week of 13 January.<\/p>\n
They are followed by the final two rounds of the Champions League, with the second legs of the EFL Cup ties in the week beginning 2 February.<\/p>\n
The fixture congestion is complicated by Palace drawing Arsenal, who will be playing in the Champions League on those midweek evenings in January.<\/p>\n
There is little chance the Premier League would move two matches to facilitate the EFL Cup tie being played on a weekend.<\/p>\n
In 2019 Liverpool fielded different teams in the EFL Cup and the Club World Cup within 24 hours.<\/p>\n
A young side lost 5-0 to Aston Villa before a senior team beat Monterrey 2-1 to reach the final of the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
In 2020 Spurs were due to play Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup and Shkendija in a Europa League qualifier within 48 hours.<\/p>\n
