After the November break, there is no halt in action until March of next year. England play Malta and Macedonia, while the Scotland team will face Norway during this break.

Injuries have played spoilsport for many clubs this season and have impacted team's performances. Earlier, Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier was seen getting angry at fans about the number of injuries they have been playing with. After the team’s 2-0 loss to Bournemouth, when Newcastle players went to applaud the fans who came in support, one angry fan commented on Newcastle’s performance, to which Kieran Trippier responded by saying “ “Are the lads not giving everything? How many injuries have we got?”.
