There are still several postponements in the 19th round of the Premier League, namely Wolves against Watford and Liverpool against Leeds United. Burnley's games against Everton and Norwich against Arsenal, Chelsea also wanted the game to be postponed, but was not allowed. The first game in this round of the league is Tottenham Hotspur against Crystal Palace, West Ham against Southampton, Manchester City against Leicester City, and there is some suspense in the later game, because Fox City is looking forward to drawing with their opponents.
Chelsea's away game against Aston Villa kicked off in the early hours of Sunday morning, in addition to Brighton's game against Brentford. The current Premier League rankings Manchester City are in first place, followed by Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, because some teams have delayed the game, and once the subsequent make-up starts, the current ranking may also change, and for the teams that can still play as scheduled, they must maintain a winning streak mode to gain an advantage, while also putting pressure on other teams.
Manchester City currently have eight consecutive league wins and the overall performance of the team is also the best in the Premier League. Leicester City have been struggling recently, with the team's record of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 5 games, which is indeed a very poor performance. The team's scoreless opponents were Southampton, Villa, Napoli and Liverpool, and it was a relief to be eliminated by Liverpool 7-8 in the last League Cup match, as the team's current ranking should indeed focus more on the record of the league. The game against Liverpool also consumed some physical energy, which is also a disadvantage for the team, and it is not easy to score points on Manchester City.
Chelsea are unbeaten in the last 5 games, with a record of 2 wins and 3 draws, the team lineup is constantly being replenished, and Lukaku is also close to a comeback, so the chances of winning this round of matches are relatively large. Manchester City did not have a League Cup match, the team got a break, this round of sitting at home is in place in all aspects, but because the first meeting between the two teams this season is Manchester City's 1-0 small victory, so this round of matches is not optimistic about the big score.
Previously, UEFA updated the European club European points rankings, Bayern ranked first with 133 points, Manchester City 124.000 points, Liverpool 122.000 points, Chelsea 116.000 points, which shows the strength of the top three in the Premier League, this season's league championship will still be produced in these three teams. Chelsea have gone from leading the Premier League to now have a six-point gap with Manchester City, and the team has reached the point where they cannot concede points.
Tuchel's second season is indeed a lot of problems, first of all, the impact of injuries, and recently due to the impact of the epidemic, more core players can not play, so there are reasons for the unstable record. Fortunately, before this round of matches, Lukaku and Hudson Hudson have returned to Chelsea to start training, and Christensen has also returned to the team, so these three may play or prepare for the bench in this round of matches, and the return of the main players can also increase the winning rate of the game.
Lukaku and Hudson-Odoi did not have the opportunity to play in the recent three games, the team achieved a record of 1 win and 2 draws, Lukaku's importance to the team is self-evident, because the offensive data so far this season is irrational, Lukaku has also been questioned by the outside world, so the next performance of the little monster is also very critical, otherwise it will be considered a parallel cargo. Chelsea have drawn 1-1 with Everton in their last three games, with Mount scoring and a defensive deficit in a free-kick at the end.
Chelsea's 0-0 Wolves were Pulisic's missed one-handed chance, and the attacking trio were Mount, Ziyech and Pulisic, all three of whom were somewhat powerless. In the last game, 2-0 brentford, opponent Janssen sent a oolong ball, Jorginho scored a penalty made by Pulisic, who came off the bench in the cup and may start this round of the league. Because several youth players have recently trained in the first team, they may also get the opportunity to play in this round of matches, and Simmons, Weir and Bale are the players who are favored by Tuchel.
Chelsea beat Villa 3-0 in the fourth round of the league this season, and the psychological advantage of this game is obvious. Gerald is villa's new coach, he was infected with the new crown, this round of the game can not be on the sidelines of the game, which also has an impact on the team. The last time the two teams met, Romelu Lukaku scored 2 goals, Kovacic scored a good pass, and Villa's win rate against Chelsea was low, so there was no way to fight back.
The historical battle data of the two teams is also the advantage of Chelsea, with 52 Premier League meetings, Chelsea 26 wins, 13 draws and 13 losses, and 157 historical games Chelsea has achieved a record of 63 wins, 35 draws and 58 losses. Chelsea's goal was shortly after the start of the first half, Kovacic used a direct pass to assist Lukaku's goal, and the second half goal was a misstep by Myance, Kovacic hit easily after getting the ball, the latter recently returned, the game can also start.
