With the Premier League all set to return in full swing, many would be eagerly looking forward to the bumper Christmas period this winter, however, the World Cup in Qatar will put some of that festive cheer on hold. Although, the tournament for the first time in its history is being hosted in the winter rather than the summer, which in turn puts a halt to all action from English football’s top flight. However, despite this many are wondering when their team’s final fixture is before their players fly out to the Middle East. The Premier League has confirmed when players will be meeting up with their squads ahead of the tournament.
