Maurizio Sarri has said he would take a pay cut if it meant the Premier League helping English teams in Europe through more sympathetic fixture scheduling.
Sarri has questioned the Premier League's "very strange" decision to schedule Chelsea's West Ham clash for Monday night, just three days before the Blues' Europa League trip to Slavia Prague.
Chelsea face a pivotal week in hosting West Ham on Monday night before heading to Prague on Thursday – then making the testing league trip to title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday.
