(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has urged the Premier League to help clubs travelling for midweek Europa League matches as his own team face an adverse schedule ahead of Sunday's match against Chelsea.

Spurs must board a six-hour flight to Baku in Azerbaijan for Thursday night's Europa League game against Qarabag, and return on Friday to begin preparations for the London derby against the Blues.
