With Wales also playing Scotland, five games were postponed due to
international commitments, including Burnley's trip to West Ham, as
they learned from the previous year's same fixture when they opted to
play, and lost. None of the top four were in action, and bottom club
Birmingham delayed their derby trip to high-flying Wolves by four days
following seven successive away defeats without scoring a goal. It
paid off, as they beat them 2-0.

Matches
postponed due to more than one player on international duty:
|
Luton Town vs. Huddersfield
Town |
|
Huddersfield were without Mike
O'Grady & Ray Wilson |
|
Southampton vs. Cardiff City |
|
Southampton were without Stuart
Williams |
|
Cardiff were without
Ivor Allchurch & Mel Charles |
|
|
The two British Championship matches also meant that second-division
fixtures were postponed for the first time. Sunderland took advantage
of Huddersfield's inactivity to close the gap at the top to a point
and they had now gone 27 league games at Roker Park without defeat.
The run stretched to 31, thanks to Brian Clough's amazing scoring
rate, but a bad knee injury on Boxing Day ended his season and,
ultimately, his career, before Chelsea pipped them to promotion on
goal average.
