This weekend's domestic Premier League games will all feature water breaks due to the extreme heat that England is currently experiencing.
According to BBC News, the MET Office recently issued a four-day weather advisory for "extreme heat" in parts of England and Wales.
The Premier League will permit players to take breaks during their games to consume some much-needed water as temperatures continue to soar, even though the next round of matches is expected to go on as scheduled.
That’s according to a recent report from the Daily Mail, who claims all fixtures in England’s top flight this weekend will be included in the plans.
When it comes to which game is the pick of the bunch, Chelsea are set to host London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
According to some of the BBC’s current weather forecasts, the area of Fulham in London, which is where Stamford Bridge is located, is expected to reach a high of 33 degrees Celsius.
Given the sky-high temperatures, the Premier League must be applauded for their quick and decisive decision to look after the players’ health.
If you’re a fan and you are planning to attend a stadium this weekend, please remember to use sun cream, wear appropriate clothing and keep fully hydrated.
