Of course, there is a lot to fit in, with the small matter of the Copa America, the European Championship and the Olympics in the next few months. On top of this, there will be the usual chaos that comes with the summer transfer window.
However, while the Premier League’s short break may be refreshing to fans across the country, it won’t be long before fans flock to England’s biggest competition to make a comeback.
