Ian Holloway has called for the Premier League to take into consideration bringing in a winter break.

Around Christmas and New Year football is played on Boxing Day and New Years Day, leaving players little time to train and prepare in the correct way for the fixtures, and little time to celebrate with their own families.

Blackpool host Liverpool on Boxing Day then travel to Eastlands to face Manchester City on New Years Day, two of six Premier League fixtures for the Seasiders over the festive period.
