Recent changes to the Premier League fixture list have sparked criticism with Arsenal facing a fixture backlog while Tottenham enjoys a 15 days break before the North London derby. Liverpool’s Klopp is grappling with a tough schedule including the Merseyside derby followed by a clash with West Ham.

The postponement of Tottenham’s match against Manchester City has led to scheduling disparities, granting Tottenham a significant break while Arsenal faces four pivotal matches. These discrepancies could impact the title race and the battle for the top four, particularly benefiting Tottenham over Villa still contending in the Europa Conference League.

The chaotic schedule is attributed to FA Cup disruptions and progress by English clubs in European competitions. While rescheduling efforts are ongoing, questions arise regarding prioritization and prompt action.
