At 0:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 3, a match in the 21st round of the Premier League began to compete, and Liverpool challenged Chelsea away. Liverpool have had a very smooth season in the Champions League, winning the group stage and taking on Inter milan in the knockout stages. In the Premier League, Liverpool's record is not bad, but it is still a little worse than Manchester City. Liverpool have won 12, drawn 5 and lost 2 of their first 19 league games. Liverpool's recent record has been poor, having not won two consecutive games, first in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, and then losing 1-0 to Leicester City in an away-advantage. Consecutive points conceded put klopp under pressure. This time, Liverpool is challenging Chelsea, who are not bad. The two sides met in the 3rd round, when the two sides drew 1-1. In this confrontation, it is not an easy task for Liverpool to win Chelsea.
In this game, Klopp discharged 433 offensive formations. Kelleher served as the starting goalkeeper. Zimikas, Van Dijk, Conat and Alexander Arnold form 4 defenders. Milner, Fabinho and Henderson make up the 3 midfield. The combined offensive trident of Mane, Jota and Salah joined forces. Keita, Chamberlain and Jones sat on the bench. Liverpool have been affected by the epidemic, and Alisson, Firmino, Matip and head coach Klopp are all out to play. Origi, Takumi Minamino and Thiago are all sidelined due to injury. Liverpool this is a real shortage of major generals.
After the game began, Liverpool rebounded and played a sharp attack, mane grabbed Chaloba's mistake and broke the goal guarded by Mendy. Mane handled the goal very calmly. Chelsea suffered another blow in the 25th minute when Salah scored from a tight angle to extend the scoreline. Chelsea are falling behind by 2 goals so quickly, which is a very difficult thing to accept, after all, it is a home game, it seems a bit awkward. Liverpool then had the opportunity to extend the scoreline, but Salah did not take advantage of the one-handed opportunity. Chelsea then woke up like a dream and began to attack vigorously. Kovacic stepped forward at a critical moment, slammed into an incomprehensible world wave, and blew the horn of counterattack. Pulišić also broke through the kelleher-guarded goal four minutes later. The score at half-time was 2-2! The quality of shots from both sides of the half was high and very exciting!
After the start of the second half, both sides were also very hard fighting, hoping to score 1 goal to establish an advantage. Mane, Alonso, Jota and Salah created good opportunities in quick succession, but none of them seized them. Liverpool then took the lead in scoring substitutions, with Chamberlain and Keita coming on as substitutes for Jota and Milner. Liverpool didn't have a decent attack after the substitution. Tuchel sent Jorginho and Odoi to continue to strengthen the attack. Pulisic, Mount, Alonso and Rudiger have attacked the Liverpool goal in succession, but have not been able to score another goal. The final score was set at 2-2, with both sides scoring just one point. Klopp suffered another blow and Liverpool did not win, which means that they have not won in three league rounds, losing seven points in three games. This has led to Liverpool being widened by 11 points by the leaders Manchester City, with little hope of winning the title.
