Preseason Friendlies

Preseason friendlies (also knownhttp://epltalk.com/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=2109&message=1 as exhibition games) featuring Premier League teams are one of the rituals of summer. This summer, with the World Cup, the window of time that clubs can play friendlies is reduced, but many of the clubs will still be touring the world. During July and August, all 20 Premier League clubs will be traveling throughout England and many of them around the world to play friendly matches to get ready for the new season.
