The teams in the final four of this season's Premier League Cup are all giants, so the next games are also watchable, but the final four have some injuries and the impact of the absence of core players, and facing a double-line battle may indeed lead to league losses or points. The League Cup final four are Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, with Chelsea 2-0 Brentford and Liverpool 3-3 Leicester City reaching a penalty shootout to eliminate Foxes 8-7. Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 West Ham, Arsenal 5-1 Sunderland are among the final four, Andttenham Hotspur also show signs of recovery after Conte led the team, and it is also satisfactory for the team to have a League Cup trophy, so it is bound to work harder.
Although Liverpool's match against Leicester City was the last laugh, the team's problems were also clearly exposed, conceding 3 goals in a single game is extremely rare, and Klopp also needs to guard against the league to lose points again. The next matchup is also good for Liverpool, because the team still has a better chance of winning against Arsenal, and the team has been drawn by Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, so it is also good to meet the Gunners. Chelsea also have an advantage against Tottenham Hotspur first, because the two teams in the league are chelsea to win, but now That Spurs coach Antonio Conte is the former Blues manager, there will be more to watch in this campaign.
Because of the recent special circumstances, the League Cup game can change five players, which will also give the manager more options to save the consumption of the main players, chelsea's good side is that Romelu Lukaku is close to a comeback, and the return of the striker can enhance the firepower of the attacking end. The League Cup match against Brentford Tuchel used players brought back from the youth team and trained in the first team, and Zud Susup Bell and Weir played a half game which was also remarkable, the former received a pass from Barkley to complete a shot, the latter received a pass from the captain to complete a header, the overall performance was good.
In the second half, Pulisic and Mount came on to replace two young players, such a playing time saved the physical strength of the core players, and the two also played the role of core players after the debut, such a rotation mode is also affirmed. A 0-0 handshake in the first half does not mean that there is no chance, and consecutive substitutions in the second half are also a must-have feeling, because this season's cup competition is also a must.
Chelsea's two goals were scored three minutes after N'Golo Kante came in for Barkley in the 76th minute, when james' low cross from the right caused Janson to break the siege and send a big gift, the former's recent key attributes have been improved, even if they can not score can also pass a key pass. The team's second goal was scored in the 85th minute when goalkeeper Fernandez came out of the box to bring down Pulisic and send a penalty, and Jonginho hit it to seal the win. Playing 40 minutes to create a goal that sealed the win, Pulisic's sharpness seemed to be back.
Saul is in the midfield in this game, and there are some refinements, because after joining the Blues on loan this season, it is not reused, and it has become a shortcoming of the team after getting the opportunity, and it may even be returned in the winter window, but the recent status has improved, and it may also stay in the team. In fact, when there is a problem, it is the opportunity for young players to grow and replace them, and Tuchel is also very good at promoting young players.
In this game, Kepa made several divine saves, and his state was even better than the recent starting goalkeeper Mendy, who saved the headers of Mbeumo and Visa, in addition to defusing Kanos's single knife ball opportunity, without the first half of the divine save, the team may have conceded the goal, so it may indeed be finally out.
Rudiger did not play in this game to prepare for the league away match against Villa, this opponent is currently ranked 10th in the league, with 22 points in 17 league rounds, a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses, scoring 23 goals and conceding 25 goals. This season against the big six giants only 1-0 defeat manchester United, once 0-3 defeat to Chelsea, so the Blues have an advantage in this campaign.
Brentford has been a big dark horse this season, the team 2-0 Arsenal, 3-3 Liverpool, after two cold games were beaten back to the original form, but the first meeting between the two teams is Brentford 0-1 defeat to Chelsea, so this game a number of young players can play 2 goals to clean sheets against the opponent to advance to the final four does show that the team must be good.
