Manchester City begin their Champions League on Thursday against Napoli, then host Arsenal on Sunday. Arsenal play Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, giving them nearly 50 hours more rest. Pep Guardiola has stayed quiet so far, but the calendar clearly favours the Gunners.
City fans might wish for an extra day off too—though unlike players, our toughest opponent is the alarm clock on Monday morning.
