UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin will meet Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore 'very soon' to discuss how to avoid clashes between European club fixtures and games in England's top flight.
Relations between UEFA and many domestic leagues in Europe have become strained in recent months, with many of the smaller nations angry that the four biggest leagues, including the Premier League, have secured four places each in the Champions League group stage from 2018 to 2021.
But the Premier League has annoyed UEFA by scheduling Stoke's rearranged visit to Manchester City last month on the same evening as two last-16 games in the Champions League, including Barca's 6-1 win over Paris St-Germain.
