Antonio Conte pleads with Premier League for lighter fixture schedule as Tottenham once again prepare for THREE games in less than a week

Antonio Conte wants his Tottenham bosses to lobby the Premier League for a kinder fixture schedule as his team embark on a 'crazy' period of three games in six days.

The clash will be Tottenham's first of three in less than a week; they travel to Manchester City on Saturday before flying to Portugal to face Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday night.
