Premier League football returns to our screens next week, but the World Cup will have an impact on how many sides will be at full strength.
For example, Arsenal are almost certain to be without William Saliba for their Boxing Day clash against West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium as the defender reached the World Cup final with France and is likely to be granted some time off, despite only playing 27 minutes in Qatar.
Furthermore, Sunday's aforementioned final is set to affect the Gunners' last opponents of the year as Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi has announced that Alexis Mac Allister won't be returning to the club immediately after helping Argentina and Lionel Messi lift football's biggest prize.
