Tuchel names 2 teams who will have 'huge advantage' in title race next season
The England manager takes charge of the Three Lions for the fourth time on Tuesday night when they face Senegal at the City Ground, and is keeping his eyes on the Premier League Thomas Tuchel has claimed Liverpool and Arsenal will have a 'huge advantage' in next season's Premier League title race. England boss Tuchel says Manchester City and Chelsea will suffer a 'huge impact' because of fatigue and fixture demands after the Club World Cup. Reigning champions Liverpool will get a complete break this summer, Arsenal will also get a chance to recharge their batteries while City and Chelsea will not get a break. The Premier League have already said they will not change their fixture list to help the two teams playing in the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. The final is in New York on July 13 when most English clubs are back in pre-season training. Tuchel said: 'I think it will have a huge impact and it will give Liverpool and Arsenal a huge advantage in the next season to not be there. I think it will be a very nice experience for the players who are there to play this tournament for the first time so there are mixed feelings about it. 'I decided not to worry too much because why should I? It is a given and no one knows what will be the outcome of it or the effect. 'We will deal with the effect when the effect comes and let's see. We have a lot of teams in the Champions League next season and European football and let's see.' The City and Chelsea stars in England's squad will fly off to the US along with the likes of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold after Tuesday's friendly with Senegal. It means they will get no break after an exhausting season but Tuchel insists that, despite the workload, all of his England players still want to play against Senegal. Tuchel said: 'There is not one player who says: 'By the way, I would like to be on the bench and save myself for the Club World Cup' so they are hungry to play. The games are not the problem, it is just the amount of time that it occupies from the players and they need a proper rest somewhere in this calendar which they hardly get. 'I think the clubs are concerned and I get that for the Club World Cup and after a long season. I think the players feel it and some of them feel tired. 'Some of them feel the tiredness more after one or two weeks of holiday than they felt it straight after the season so sometimes it is easier to stay in a rhythm.'

Nottingham Forest ‘write to Uefa over Crystal Palace Europa League decision' as they stand to benefit from Eagles ban
Forest took necessary precautions to avoid a similar fiasco TRICKY TREES Nottingham Forest 'write to Uefa over Crystal Palace Europa League decision' as they stand to benefit from Eagles ban Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOTTINGHAM FOREST have reportedly written to Uefa over concerns about Crystal Palace taking part in the Europa League. Palace's historic FA Cup final win over Manchester City booked their place in Europe for the first time. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Crystal Palace's European dreams could be ruined over an ownership issue Credit: AFP 2 The Eagles lifted the FA Cup at Wembley to secure a Europa League spot Credit: Getty But complications around John Textor's stake in both Palace and French club Lyon have resulted in the South Londoners' spot being in doubt. Uefa rules on multi-club ownership prevent any two clubs controlled by the same person or group from competing in the same competition. Both Palace and Lyon have qualified for next year's Europa League, but the Ligue 1 side would have precedence as they finished higher in their domestic league. And now The Times state Forest made contact with European football's governing body to highlight the potential breach. Should Palace be kicked out of the Europa League, it is understood Nottingham Forest would be promoted from the Conference League and take the Eagles' Europa League place. Forest themselves made the necessary changes to their ownership structure when it became apparent both they and owner Evangelos Marinakis' other team Olympiacos could both qualify for the Champions League.
