Newcastle United's season could be helped by the Premier League after postponements due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the World Cup over the months of November and December have derailed the already busy schedule.
The last two seasons have seen FA Cup and League Cup replays cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and teams and fans are now calling for the same to happen because of the fixture congestion.
The Magpies had their game against West Ham postponed after the Queen's death and now due to the World Cup taking place in the winter months, the Premier League schedule is incredibly congested but plans to change that are already being proposed.
