The renewal comes as Barclays and the Premier League celebrate 20 years since the bank first partnered with the League under the Barclaycard brand in Barclays and the Premier League are this season celebrating 20 years as partners and the two organisations have agreed to extend their Banking Partner deal until Starting as the Barclaycard Premiership in , the relationship between Barclays and the Premier League has been one of the most successful and enduring sponsorships in sport.
The relationship has developed to see Barclays provide the Premier League and many of its clubs with financial services such as corporate banking and foreign exchange. Will Brass, Premier League Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Barclays has always been a fantastic partner of the Premier League, and we are very pleased to be extending our long-standing association for another three years. And together we share an ambition of creating opportunities at all levels and ensuring everyone is welcome to enjoy the game.
We look forward to further developing our relationship over the coming years. We are delighted to announce that we are renewing our commitment to football, at every level, for everyone. Most games take place in the afternoons BST on Saturday and Sunday but there are a few games that take place during the week in the evenings. Each team plays 38 matches each season.
Overall there are matches played in the league every season. A team is awarded three points for a win in the EPL and one point for a draw. If two or more teams are tied with the same number of points there are a number of tie breakers including goal difference and then purely goals scored. Frustrating as yet another postponement is to FPL managers, it did serve as a reminder to expect the unexpected during this uncertain period, heading into the biggest double gameweek of the season so far.
At the time of writing, eight clubs are scheduled to play two matches in Gameweek they are Brentford, Brighton, Burnley, Chelsea, Leicester, Manchester United, Tottenham and Watford. That remains the case this week, but managers should avoid racking up expensive points hits if they can help it given the volatility of the schedule right now.
Neither Manchester City or Liverpool play twice and the teams that do are either in poor form Burnley, Manchester United, Watford , have at least one extremely difficult fixture Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea , or have a number of key players unavailable due to Covid, injury or participation at the Africa Cup of Nations Leicester, Spurs. Watford arguably have the best pair of the games on paper against Burnley and Newcastle , but the Hornets have lost nine of their previous 10 matches in all competitions.
There will be plenty more double gameweeks to come, after all. Here is our Gameweek 22 team, which is subject to change should any fixtures get pulled from the calendar. De Gea has made 21 saves in five matches since Rangnick took charge, which is good news for FPL managers as a goalkeeper earns a point every time they make three saves in a game.
With Ben Chilwell out for the season , Marcos Alonso has the left wing-back slot at Chelsea nailed down… at least until the club signs someone else. Only eight defenders in the league have created more chances than Cucurella with 21 and he has managed 30 FPL points in his previous three matches. However, he looks likely to feature against Brentford this weekend after Jurgen Klopp confirmed that he had returned to training during his pre-Carabao Cup semi-final press conference.
The Brazilian has scored four goals in his last eight games in all competitions and has totalled 30 FPL points in his previous four Premier League starts. Proceed with caution when it comes to Leicester players.
