City:
December, 8 games in 26 days
January, 9 games in 29 days
Total: 17 games in 55 days
W14 D3 L0
Liverpool:
December, 8 games in 30 days
January, 7 games in 28 days
Total: 15 games 58 days
W7 D5 L3
So over December and January we have played two more games than Liverpool in a span of three fewer days.
Also it has to be mentioned that they had an FA Cup tie at home to what was essentially Aston Villa’s youth team.
This after playing almost three weeks later into the summer but only being afforded one week later to start this season.
Some two-week break, that...
Also while Liverpool got a month of preseason in Austria before their first league game we had 9 youth players in preseason, because our 2 week preseason coincided with the September international break.
So they got 7 weeks break including 1 month preseason before the first league game (followed by the international break)
Our internationals got 3 weeks break with zero preseason.
