Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit back at Chelsea rival Jose Mourinho over his fixture complaints.
Mourinho claims Arsenal have had it easier this season than his Chelsea players.
But Wenger cited an "independent" study and declared: "It is simple.
"Look at the fixtures and analyse it. I trust you will give an objective view. You will see Arsenal are behind all the other teams. In the last five years all the objective studies that have been made show Arsenal had less rest than any other teams in the top four.
"That is facts. It has nothing to do with my opinion. It is an independent company that made [the study] that shows Arsenal had less rest than any other team in the top level."
Mourinho had also insisted Wenger was "always complaining" but the Frenchman dismissed the notion his counterpart was engaging in mind games.
"It is not mind games, it is opinions," he said. "But I don't live with opinions, I live with facts. And the facts don't depend on me or Mourinho. It is depending on objective analysis. A day is 24 hours. And you count how many times you have rest between games.
"I did not make this study, it was made by an independent company. I cannot influence that."
