England boss Thomas Tuchel is picking Liverpool and Arsenal to challenge for the Premier League title next season as one major advantage hasn't gone unnoticed by the German: both clubs don't have to play in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.
“I think it [the Club World Cup] will have a huge impact and it will give Liverpool and Arsenal a huge advantage in the next season to not be there,” Tuchel said in the buildup to England's friendly against Senegal. He went on to explain his excitement for the tournament, but continued the ongoing debate around the packed match calendar and the challenges with managing a national team in light of it.
