While Arsenal had a longer return, three of the British Champions League teams had a Premier League match like City three days later.

Like Newcastle, Manchester City, he was in the Champions League at his home at Barcelona on Thursday night.

And on Sunday, they met a Premier League trip to Bournemouth.

Liverpool had a shorter turn.

On Wednesday, they hosted Atletico Madrid, and then Everton and Merseyside Derby met at 12:30 after 62.5 hours.

Chelsea went to Bayern Munich on Wednesday and visited Manchester United on Saturday.

Tottenham spent four days between the games, hosting Villarreal on Tuesday and then Brighton on Saturday.

The Champions League teams are all in the third round of the Carabao Cup this week.

Five of the six teams have ties three days after the league matches, Tottenham spends an extra day.

And among the seasons, Chelsea had less preparation time than Manchester City.
