The 2022/23 season promises to be an intriguing, unpredictable experience.
Adding to the usual highs and lows of a regular campaign, a World Cup has been added into the mix and will take place in the middle of the domestic calendar. Quite how this will affect teams is challenging to predict, given this is the first-ever winter edition of this major tournament.
Top-flight sides in England will play their final fixtures before the World Cup on the weekend of November 12/13, returning to Premier League action on Boxing Day. Clubs with fewer players at the tournament will, naturally, be at an advantage while those who are heavily represented could feel the full effects of player fatigue.
