Chelsea news: Antonio Conte slams Premier League over Manchester City and Liverpool games

Chelsea are currently on a four-match winning run in the league which started with last month’s 4-2 victory over Watford at Stamford Bridge.

And they’ll be hoping to keep that sequence going when they visit Anfield to take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool next weekend.

First up though Chelsea are facing the prospect of a trip to Azerbaijan on Wednesday night to go up against Qarabag in the Champions League.

That fixture means the west Londoners will not be back in England until the early hours of Thursday morning.

Conte has now paralleled Chelsea’s quick turnaround for the subsequent Liverpool game to their preparations prior to their loss to Manchester City.

And he reckons the Premier League need to adjust their schedule to even things up as they look to defend their title.

“Now it’s very difficult to think someone can stop them [City],” Conte said. 

“They are having a fantastic run, they have only drawn one game at home to Everton. 

“It was a pity to play against them two days after playing Atletico Madrid away. 

“We came back at five in the morning on the Thursday and played on Saturday, so sometimes whoever prepares the fixtures must pay great attention to give each team the same opportunity. 

“One team was favourite and you could see if we’d won against City the difference wouldn’t have been nine points.

“Now we have another problem. We play Qarabag on Wednesday, we get back to London at 5am or 6am on Thursday and then have a game against Liverpool on Saturday. 

“Is this normal? I don’t think so. If people want more balance in this league they must pay great attention when preparing the fixtures.”
