It took 87 days to play the first 11 rounds of this season in the Premier League Championship. The next 11 are crushed in just 47 days.
Each of the elite English clubs by soccer tipsters faces four holiday games, one more than last season when each team without Everton had at least a week break before their match on Boxing Day. This year Leicester will play four fights between 23 December and 1 January in just 213 hours. Arsenal in the meantime will play them in the relatively light 290 hours, which gives him the equivalent of more than three days of additional rest. So what`s your favorite club at the holiday season?
Both Arsenal and Chelsea enjoy a relatively slow schedule after his new-year crackdown with gunmen was pulled out only on January 3. The Manchester City leader also has more rest than most teams, though he is home to Watford on Jan. 2, which will have a day more to recover from the citizens.
At the other end of the spectrum are Brighton, Burnley and Bournemouth, who will play their four games within just over 215 hours, nearly 21 hours less than the average for the league 236 hours, as Manchester United and Newcastle are also facing a busyschedule.
Only two teams -;Huddersfield and Stoke City, the original date and start time of their meetings in that period were not changed.
CREATED PLAYERS DO NOT SHOW YOUR BEST PERSON?
Players and managers at Premier League have long spoken about the overcrowding program around the holidays. Last January, then Crystal Palace manager Sam Alardais furious said his team was broken after the defeat at home from Swansea.
However, there is evidence to suggest that physical performance of footballers does not suffer from a compressed cycle of matches in the winter. According to Opta statisticians, players generally raise the intensity in that pe riod, which is measured with the miles fired and the number of sprints.
Almost nothing suggests that the number of goals decreases as a result of accumulated fatigue. In the last three seasons there is an identical number of goals scored per game during the holiday season and in the rest of the season -;2, 7. The same is the position in the middle of the game (25, 5 during the holidays vs. 25, 8 in the rest of the time) and in the middle of the game (8, 4 vs. 8, 5).
Well, if the energy consumption in the overcrowded cycle is reflected in the later stages of the season, it is already a topic of other debates. At the end of 2016, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klop said: `Everyone wonders why England has not been very successful in big tournaments. Ask yourself what other teams do in Europe at that time -;they have their legs on the couch and watch English football on TV.
England manager Gareth Southgate, however, is not sure that a possible winter v acation would increase his players` chances of success in major international competitions.
PREMIER LEAGUE IS STARTED TO BE TALKED
Not only players and managers look at their teams` schedule in the festive season. Newcastle fans (probably not surprising given the lack of me
