Premier League leaders Chelsea face the daunting task of 10 matches in December as Liverpool and Manchester City lurk closely behind in the league table.
Thomas Tuchel said: “It will be challenging. The good thing is it was challenging before. We don’t change our routine. We have very close and tight communication with the medical department and our fitness department and we try to predict the load. We look into data where the players are: who is overloaded, who is underloaded, who is chronically overloaded, who is acutely overloaded, underloaded and from there we see what we need in the next games. We do it step by step. If you look at the schedule too far ahead you can see this will be some tough weeks coming. That’s why we focus on details and we focus on the next game and maybe the next two games where we can rely on predictions because we have fantastic support from everybody.”
A win at Everton tomorrow night could see Liverpool move to the top of the Premier League, if other results were to go the way of the Reds also.
