The 2020/21 Premier League season, and indeed every major league in Europe, will see unprecedented levels of schedule build up. Due to the previous season finishing late in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, the start of the new campaign was pushed back.
This has resulted in the winter break in February being cancelled, while the league has had to fit in all 38 rounds in five less available weekends.
For clubs involved in Europe - Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd, Leicester, Tottenham, and Arsenal - they face the prospect of clashing fixtures.
