Chelsea vsLiverpool: Manchester City's old generals lead, aces sit on both waists, and the British Emperor Star charges!
At 4:15 a.m. Beijing time on 1 February, the 22nd round of the Premier League will be the scene of an interesting power-up conversation: Chelsea Blues are away to challenge the unstoppable Liverpool team at the top of the table this season.
This season, although Chelsea has a luxurious lineup, only lost to Manchester City and Arsenal, but the record is very bad, the first 21 rounds of battles, they only achieved 9 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses and 31 points of embarrassing record, currently ranked 9th in the Premier League standings, not to mention the Premier League champions, whether they can reach the top four in the Premier League and get the Champions League tickets next season are all questions.
Currently, Chelsea are still 12 points clear of the top four in the Premier League. Considering the Premier League is just over halfway through, Chelsea still have hope of reaching the Champions League if they can play well next. Facing the mighty Liverpool in this round, coach Pochenotti will definitely go all out to win in order to finish in the top four and prove his worth. The stats show that Chelsea are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Liverpool and have drawn seven times in a row, leaving Klopp at bay. Therefore, this is destined to be another game full of suspense. Here's a preview of the likely starting line-up for this game.
In the goalkeeper position, 24-year-old Serbian goalkeeper Petrovic will naturally protect Chelsea's net; At the back, Pochettino will unsurprisingly continue to use his usual back four, with four big defenders likely to start: Disasi, Thiago Silva, Badiazir and Ben Chilwell. Thiago Silva and Benoas Badiazil will partner in central defence, while Ben Chilwell and Disasi will play at left and right wing-backs. The 39-year-old Brazilian defender, Thiago Silva, remains the strongest iron goal in Chelsea's defence.
In midfield, Chelsea's main centre-back in charge of interceptions and tackles will undoubtedly remain Ecuadorian star Moises Caicedo, while Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez will be alongside Moises Caicedo. Ahead of the two centre-backs, former Manchester City prince Cole Palmer is expected to continue to sit in the midfield position, responsible for organising the marking and leading the Blues' attacking group; He should be joined by former Manchester City player Raheem Sterling and Ukrainian superstar Mykhailo Mudryk.
Up front, 21-year-old England Empire star Madueke is expected to remain in action as a striker in Chelsea's attack due to the absence of Nicola Jaxson.
To sum up, Chelsea's starting line-up for this game against Liverpool is as follows: Petrovic; Disasi, Thiago Silva, Badiashir, Chilwell; Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez; Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer, Mudryk; Madukai.
