Chelsea head off to the Fifa Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates this week with a chance to be named world champions - but fans may wonder if it will hinder their chances closer to home.
The European champions have had two Premier League games postponed because of their trip to Abu Dhabi, which could add to their fixture congestion when they get back.
Chelsea face Al Hilal in the semi-final on Wednesday, only four days after their extra-time win over Plymouth in the FA Cup.
But data shows the four previous English teams to play at the Club World Cup in its current format (since 2005) have not suffered on their return.
