If we qualify.We play Newcastle in the prem on the 28th Sept and then play in the Carabao cup on the 29th Sept
If so, that fixture will be moved to the 30th.
I cannot recall in living memory any time where a top-flight English
club had to play two games on consecutive days.
Even in the fixture nightmare that was the 1981-82 season, there were a
good 2-3 games between fixtures (catch-up or otherwise) .
Seems strange that this isn't something that all the Premier League clubs have.

And his number isn't even being used!
Tanganga's changed his though, I see.Hojbjerg takes Vertonghen's, Hart takes the vacant 12 and Vorm's 13 is unused.

Interesting that the number 9 isn't being used
Not so interesting when you realise Milik prefers the 99 shirt at Napoli, though...

Good to know there's yet another reason to treat the Season Killer Cup as an U23/U18 exercise: winning the thing doesn't even get a Europa League place
Last seven seasons finalists would suggest it doesn't kill teams seasons.
Nice get out if you are not good enough to compete in it though
Have you any idea what football is all about? It's not about earning a few extra quid by qualifying for the CL/EL, it's about competing and winning things.
Do you really think players want to finish their career and be able to tell their grandchildren "i got in the top 4 3 years on the trot" or would they rather be able to show them a medal and say "this is for winning a cup".
Or do they want to point at their 10 bedroom house and say football paid for that.Last seven seasons finalists would suggest it doesn't kill teams seasons.
