The atmosphere is tensed, there are tensions, While both Chelsea and liverpool fans will have their breathe in their mouth for the 90 minutes, no one could predict a chelsea side that will turn up for this, same also as liverpool going on & off.
- A win for either of the two teams will see the team move to 4th on the log,
the champions league spot is heated up, i heard klopp saying for liverpool to attract big players they must qualify for champions league first and thats the criteria, most of these stars want champions league football, while chelsea make no secret in their pursuit of erling haaland, a champions league qualifications can lure the young star to stamford bridge
Mathematically, a win for chelsea will see them move to 4th on the log with 47 points, just 3 points behind 3rd placed Leicester city and 4 points behind 2nd placed Manchester united.
Meaning they will also go 4 points ahead of liverpool, for liverpool they will want to close the gap on top 4, and bounce back from their recent woes and start firing again.
- For the team news
Chelsea have no injury concerns as hudson odoi, thiago silva,tammy abraham, kai harvertz were all seen training, tuchel confirm that thiago silva did not complete the last exercise in the training so he's going to sit out of this tie, we might a christensen and rudiger partnership at the central defense once again. And like Tuchel likes to gamble with his selection, nobody can really predict how the team will lineup. Is going to start chilwell ahead of alonso or reece james going to play as a number two or as a wing back, no one could really say, but we sure expect chelsea to dominate the game and find a way to curtail liverpool's counter attack.
- for liverpool alisson Becker is back and jota has also resumed training, again, liverpool will rely on alex arnold and robertson runs while mane and sallah will be pressing from the flanks,
Liverpool's main problem lies at the central defense while klopp has tried 17 different partnerships at the central defense, so for this game no one could really predict which 2 men will be at the central defense for liverpool.
We have chelsea who are not scoring goals but are not conceding and liverpool who are scoring and also conceding goals, for this match i expect a tactical detailed from the managers, liverpool will definitely come at chelsea to unsettle their defense, liverpool will use more of aerial and long balls while chelsea will want to take things slow by keeping the ball as much as they can do, because any loose ball liverpool front three can utilize that and score.
Again its going to be a not so much goals match but going to be a very entertaining and modern football tactics will be deployed by the two managers.
The blues (Chelsea) is becoming too heated for other clubs to joke with them. Since the reign of Thomas Tuchell those guys are getting back their forms and getting back on track and are leaving no trace of failure behind. They are really moving forward than expected and i really won't be shock if they beat Liverpool team or they leave the stadium with a draw on both sides.
Although I don't doubt Liverpool but Chelsea are really not taking the first four position lightly. Like I have said, football is an unpredictable match so let's just watch the outcome of the match and I wish the best team the best of luck.
Yes, i totally agree with you, the swagger, the mojo in chelsea team is as a result of what tuchel brought to the team, but you know at some point they will lose some matches, maybe liverpool can just sneak away that narrow win, its obvious they can't defend the tittle this season, but finishing in top 4 can be a consolidation for them, though i still fancy a chelsea win thou.
Hmmm, it is a pity that Liverpool are no match for Chelsea team this time around😉
