In the second round, potentially one of the most interesting matches of the season will take place: the updated Chelsea against the English champions. However, a few amendments: not all blue rookies are available for this game, and some other major players will miss the match due to injuries.
But Chelsea’s job in this transfer window must be taken into account in any case: the club immediately got down to business and signed Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva. Also, Edouard Mendy and possibly Declan Rice are on their way, if they manage to sell one of the current midfielders (most likely, Jorginho could become a “victim”).
As for Liverpool, for a long time the “Reds” were a passive player in the transfer market, but they made two acquisitions in one week: Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota. They will undoubtedly be important players this season and should seriously strengthen the team. If Jorginho Wijnaldum stays and doesn’t move to Barcelona, Jurgen Klopp will have a nice headache.
In the first round of the Premier League, both Chelsea and Liverpool beat their opponents. The ‘reds’ play on defense raises concerns: conceding three goals from the Premier League rookie, despite Leeds, is too much for the English champions. As for Chelsea, Kepa Arrisabalaga again showed himself “in all his splendor”, conceding a goal from outside the area, which the goalkeeper is obliged to take.
According to the bookmakers, Liverpool is the favorite of the match: the victory of the “reds” is estimated by the odds of 2.17, the draw – 3.80 and the victory of the “blues” – 3.20.
Approximate compositions:
Did not play: Chillwell, Ziesch, Gilmore, Thiago Silva, Pulisic – Oxlade-Chamberlain
Questionable: Azpilicueta, Werner – …
Interesting data:
Liverpool are undefeated in 35 of their last 38 Premier League games.
Chelsea have won their last six home games in the Premier League.
The Blues have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 13 league appearances.
Liverpool have scored at least three goals in their last three Premier League games.
