When will Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham return to Premier League action amid World Cup start

The 20 Premier League clubs will now sit back and put their feet up for the next few weeks as we enter an unusual month of professional football. The World Cup will take place in Qatar this month, rather than the summer, amid plenty of controversy meaning domestic football across the world will be put on hold.

Arsenal currently lead the way after 14 games after Mikel Arteta's side have enjoyed their best start to a season in Premier League history. The Gunners have won 12 league games since the start of the campaign and sit five points clear of Manchester City on the back of the 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers over the weekend.

Tottenham sit eight points behind their north London rivals on 29 after their dramatic home win over Leeds United. Antonio Conte's men came from behind three times before grabbing all three points in the 83rd minute through another Rodrigo Bentancur winner.
