After a difficult duel, Chelsea narrowly defeated Yard Crescent and qualified for the Club World Cup final.
And Kepa once again proved himself, now he has the strength to compete with Mendy as the main goalkeeper of the team, and although Chelsea has arranged a full main squad to play, the final score and the game process indicate that Chelsea's difficulties are real.
In the whole game, Lukaku scored the only goal of the game in more than 30 minutes, Chelsea only had 54% of the ball, the two teams shot at 18:12, Chelsea had a slight advantage, since Chilwell and James were injured, Chelsea has rarely completed a big score victory.
This time, Lukaku stepped forward
Faced with Saudi players and a number of foreign players who are far less capable of fighting than Premier League players, Lukaku has also worked hard to save Chelsea once.
For Chelsea, there is a stronger opponent behind them than Ria's Crescent: Palmeiras. In the semi-finals, the Brazilian Team defeated the Cairo Nationals, and their value is as high as 180 million euros, not only the Hope Star of Brazil, but also many players of good quality.
No one knows if Tuchel will be able to reach the final before the match, but it is certain that Chelsea need to focus more on the team and avoid mistakes.
Premier League: Manchester City scored 60 points! Tottenham Hotspur reversed!
1. Manchester City's advantage is back
In yesterday's game, City beat Brentford, Mahrez and De Bruyne respectively, brentford faced the strong Manchester City, with little ability to fight back (not long ago Fulham returned the hand and was beaten 4:1).
After this victory, City got back on track as the first team in the five leagues to score 60 points (and played more games).
In the Premier League, Liverpool, who have two rounds of less games, are closest to Manchester City, but they still have a gap of 12 points, and even if Liverpool win both games, the two teams still have a 6-point gap!
City's play was too stable
Guardiola's team performance is so stable: Manchester City has scored second only to Liverpool (57 goals), conceded the fewest in the Premier League (14 goals), and at the same time, they have also scored the most points in the Premier League's strong dialogue, although the team has some hidden dangers, but for now, they are really the biggest contenders for the Premier League title.
2, the opportunity can not be seized, tottenham's routine behavior
Spurs' match against Southampton was ultimately lost, and with a large advantage in the opening stages, Conte's side exposed its shortcomings: their defense did not fundamentally recover, and they will still learn the bitter lessons of the Mourinho era in inexplicable games.
Southampton and Tottenham Are just the opposite, as the old Premier League fritters who have smelled the "aroma" of relegation success, Southampton is very calm in the game, the tactical arrangement is reasonable, the players are fighting bravely, twice behind in the game, twice tied, and finally before the end of the game!
Both the players and Conte were disappointed with the result
Conte stressed the stability of the team after the game, which can't help but remind the chatter of the Mourinho era, Mourinho is not less worried about the stability of the team, even though Conte has now gained some support, but Tottenham hotspur has not seen an improvement.
And Spurs' right-backs from Ollie to Doherty to today's Emerson, there is no reliable one, and even seems to be counted, but it is better to be called the world-class Orier under the neck, which can not help but sigh, Spurs has become the "graveyard" of right-backs.
In addition, Tottenham's new signings Bentancour and Kulusevsky appeared in the 60th and 76th minutes respectively, and for now, Conte believes they still need to adapt to the Premier League, but do Tottenham still give them time to adapt?
Originally, Tottenham Hotspur was the most promising team to compete in the top four, and now the opportunity has slipped out of their hands, and this is not the first time!
3. Villa vs Leeds United: A good goal battle!
Gerrard's side played a fantastic goal battle against Bielsa's side, and Villa remained more cautious even at home, which gave them an advantage at one point.
In the first 15 minutes, Leeds United scored first, and then Villa scored three goals in a row after 30 minutes to almost end the game, while Villa's new signing Coutinho contributed a luxurious stat of 1 goal and 2 assists.
However, in the first half of injury time, Manchester United released Daniel James in the summer, giving Leeds United a new look at hope, it is worth mentioning that James has scored 4 goals this season and has 1 assist.
Bielsa's side eventually equalized
The 3:3 score cleared Villa, but it was too late, everyone knew Gerrard's ambitions, but the recent successive setbacks would make it clear to Gerrard that the Premier League and the Soviet Premier League are different leagues after all.
And Bielsa's team got the points they wanted, for them, every point is precious, and this game, it seems to make people see, last season's crazy attacking Leeds United.
Conclusion: Premier League of tomorrow
In the early hours of tomorrow morning, the Premier League will continue, with Arsenal facing Wolves away from home, while Liverpool face Leicester City at home.
For Arsenal, only a win over Wolves will increase their chances of competing for four, as Arsenal still have one less round than Tottenham in terms of rounds.
This is also Arsenal's first appearance since January 23, and Arteta confirmed that the team's main player has basically no new injuries except for Fuan Jianyang.
Wolves also ushered in good news, although Traore went to Barca, but Huang Xican has participated in the joint training, and the two teams can basically send the strongest lineup.
Mane will miss the match against Leicester City
For Liverpool, Klopp confirmed that Mane would miss the match against Leicester City, and after Senegal's victory, Salah quickly returned to Anfield, while Mane celebrated.
With Mane missing out on the game, Klopp also wants to test Luis Díaz, and in tomorrow's game, Liverpool's new signings have a chance to appear!
In addition to the horse and outside, Liverpool is basically full of returns, and in February, when the Champions League is about to start, it is a great news for Liverpool!
Leicester City, on the other hand, have been quite bad, with the last win coming back a month ago, having recently been eliminated by Nottingham Forest by a 4-1 FA Cup, and, in terms of injuries, they are far more injured than Liverpool's.
Main centre-back Evans, main striker Vardy, former main defender Fafana will miss this game, substitute defender Portland (season reimbursement), Leicester City want to grab points on Liverpool is unlikely, Liverpool will also try to chase Manchester City.
