Interestingly, Chelsea have an extra day of preperation on us, Norwich 2, Swansea none and then we get an extra day on West Brom.
HI YV, the Chelsea game is one of the reasons I'm glad our fixtures are spread out, I think it's a massive help to us to have that game on Thurdday not on Wednesday, when most of the games are being playd. The extra day's rest we're getting should be very useful. It could of course mean the difference between Bale/JD playing or not, extra useful in that case.
NSS - but as I say I'm pleased with the spread out nature of the games, and playing Chelsea on Thursday is good for us, much better than playing on the Wednesday with the other teams.
