Leicester City will hope their form can survive a five-week break with skipper Jonny Evans admitting to frustration over the disruption to their winning run.
Only Arsenal and Newcastle had a better Premier League record thanCityover the final six games before the World Cup. Thirteen points from a possible 18, and five clean sheets from six matches, propelled them out of the relegation zone and up towards mid-table.
Now preparing for the resumption of the campaign at their sweltering Abu Dhabi training camp,Evansis hoping Citys momentum has not been killed by the pause to domestic football. They return on December 20 with a Carabao Cup tie at MK Dons before facing Newcastle on Boxing Day in the Premier League.

Were in a position weve never been in before, having a couple of weeks off during the season, the centre-back told LCFC TV. It feels quite strange. With the nice warm weather, it feels a little like pre-season.
We didnt want it to stop, that was maybe the frustrating thing. We were on a roll, and having to break up at that time with the momentum that we had
The fact that the World Cup is on and were able to support the players is great. Once they all come back, you can re-focus, and before you know it, the matches will be coming thick and fast, as they usually do around Christmas time. Itll be good to have them back and get going again. Itll be good to carry on where we left off.
With seven players at the World Cup, Citys squad in the United Arab Emirates has been complemented by seven talents from the development squad. Four of those Lewis Brunt, Sammy Braybrooke, Kasey McAteer, and Will Alves have already made their first-team debuts, with full-back Joe Wormleighton and goalkeepers Arlo Doherty and Kelechi Chibueze completing the set of youngsters.
Evans added: As a first-team player, you love seeing the young lads come up. They always bring a freshness and I think most of the players that are here have been away with us on pre-season as well.
Theyve always impressed, theyre a great bunch of lads and thats why theyre here. Their attitudes are good, theyre good players and its great having them here.
