The Premier League may be on pause at the minute but games are going to come thick and fast once the first international break of the season is over. With the 2022 World Cup getting underway two months today, clubs face an intense schedule in October and November.
A busy time in the year anyway with European and domestic cup action to fit in, the calendar is jam-packed this year due to having to shoehorn a winter World Cup in. It really is going to be punishing for clubs, especially those involved in European competition.
Tottenham are one of those following their return to the Champions League. Having already played two of their games prior to September's international break, Antonio Conte's men have another three in October and one in November as the group stage needs to be finished ahead of the World Cup.
