4-1! Nunez wasted his chances, the 20-year-old star went crazy, and Liverpool led by five points

At 4:15 a.m. Beijing time on February 1, the 22nd round of the 2023-24 Premier League season ushered in a key battle: Liverpool VS Chelsea.

Liverpool are the leaders of the Premier League and Chelsea are aiming to get into the European places.

Yes, Liverpool started the 433 formation, Nunez, Luis Dias, Jota formed a forward trident, midfielders Jones, McAllister, Szobosloy, four defenders Gomez, Van Dijk, Konat, Bradley, goalkeeper Alisson. The starting eleven is worth a total of 490 million euros.

The 20-year-old Bradley took Alexander-Arnold's place, while Trent Alexander-Arnold himself sat on the bench. And without Bradley, it is really impossible to imagine what the final result of Liverpool and Chelsea would have been in this game.

Chelsea started in a 4,231 formation, with central striker Palmer, Sterling, Gallagher, Madueke in the front line, Enzo and Caicedo in the back, Ben Chilwell, Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Disassi, and goalkeeper Petrovic. The starting eleven is worth a total of 450 million euros.

Judging by past meetings, Liverpool do not have much advantage over Chelsea. Liverpool's top scorer Mohamed Salah is out injured, which would have been an opportunity for Chelsea.

In the 9th minute, Nunez took a long-range shot from outside the penalty area and hit the goal frame and popped up.

In the 18th minute, Konate made a long pass, Nunez hit the goal, but it still hit the post and popped up.

In the 23rd minute, Ben Chilwell conceded the ball in midfield, Bradley crossed and Jota broke through and slotted home. Liverpool lead Chelsea 1-0.

In the 39th minute, Dias went straight and Bradley scored in the penalty area. Liverpool 2:0 Chelsea. It was the first goal scored by Bradley's Liverpool first team.

In the 45th minute, Badiashile stepped on Jota in the box and the referee awarded a penalty. Nunez came to take the penalty, but it hit the post and bounced off.

In the 65th minute, Van Dijk made a long pass, Bradley took the ball and crossed the bottom, and Szobosloy scored with a header. Liverpool 3:0 Chelsea.

In the 71st minute, Chukwuemeka made a wonderful pass, and Nkunku faced the defense of many Liverpool players in the penalty area, but still scored with superb shooting skills. Chelsea 1:3 Liverpool.

In the 76th minute, Robertson crossed from the bottom and Nunez headed the goal, but it still hit the crossbar and bounced.

In the 79th minute, McAllister made a direct pass, Nunez took the ball and then crossed, and Dias scored the goal. Liverpool 4:1 Chelsea. Nunez himself had an unreliable shot and an assist that was good.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 4-1 at home, accumulating 51 points from 22 games, 15 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, continuing to lead the Premier League standings, 5 points ahead of Manchester City, who are second in 1 game less. With 31 points from 22 games, nine wins, four draws and nine defeats, Chelsea are tenth in the Premier League table, a position they are all too familiar with.
