They host Manchester City in the Premier League on December 14, then would have had to squeeze in a meeting with the Gunners on December 16 before taking on KuPS of Finland in the Conference League on December 18 and then returning to Premier League action against Leeds on December 21.

“It’s dangerous, irresponsible to say that you should play Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday,” he said last Friday.
