The holiday period tends to lead to an unusual-looking football calendar each year, with some major leagues taking a winter break and others playing to a strange, hectic schedule (we’re looking at you, Premier League).
Still, there is usually plenty to entertain soccer fans over Christmas and the New Year, with plenty of games taking place each day over the coming two weeks.
