London clubs will be well represented at this summer's World Cup, with 67 players from the nation's capital heading across the Atlantic for the expanded tournament. It has been a strong year for London clubs, with Arsenal lifting the Premier League and Crystal Palace securing their first European trophy. The year could get even better should a London-based player take home the top honour, which is not unlikely.
