Chelsea will host Tottenham in the 26th week of the Premier League. This will be a match that I think is difficult to predict because it will bring together two clubs that are in an unstable situation to date. Chelsea gets an advantage because they will play as hosts and they can use that to put pressure on Tottenham from their fans in the stadium.
Chelsea itself had just held Manchester City to a draw the previous week with a score of 1-1. This result was unexpected because previously Manchester City would have been able to win with the advantage on paper that they had in that match, but in reality Chelsea was able to show resistance which made Manchester City difficult and failed to win the match, the result was that they had to be satisfied with only winning 1 just points, something very good for Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Tottenham just received a defeat which was a bit surprising because they had to suffer a defeat against a club that was actually mediocre, and what was even more surprising was that they lost when playing at home. Of course, this will slightly disturb their mentality and could possibly have an impact on this match. Apart from that, I want to see these two clubs play as well as possible to be able to present a game that is enjoyable to watch. For betting, it looks like I won't bet on this match.
Chelsea were supposed to play their match week 26th game of the English Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow at Stamford Bridge but unfortunately for both teams, the game have been postponed till further notice which means that both teams wouldn't be in action in the league this weekend. When Chelsea visited Tottenham Hotspur in their first league game of the season, Tottenham Hotspur were then at the top of the league table and were yet to lose a league game. That game experienced so many talking points as the home team saw two of their players sent off as well as injury to few of their first team players. The scoreline of that game after final whistle was disappointing for the home team as they suffered their first league defeat of the season in that game.
Whenever the postponed game is finally scheduled, Tottenham Hotspur I think will be going into the game with the mindset that they're gonna revenging for that embarrassing defeat and that's why I also expect them to play that match in their full strength but that I don't think will stop Chelsea from going for a win as well. The game will be played at the home ground of Chelsea and I'll be banking on a Chelsea win or draw in that game.
I'm not sure if Liverpool's present squad can stay at the top of the Premier League table before their key players return from injury. Even without key players, Liverpool was supposed to win against Luton Town yesterday because Luton Town only won five of their 25 matches played in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool did win when playing at home when they hosted Luton Town because that team was a weak team that Liverpool could easily face. And to be able to stay at the top of the standings until the end of this season, Liverpool only needs to win and not lose or hope to lose to Arsenal and Manchester City, both of which are very serious competitors for Liverpool this season. However, if we look at several Liverpool players who are still injured at the moment, of course some people really doubt that Liverpool will be able to survive for long at the top of the standings.
Liverpool are in their tough time now because this is the right time for all the players to be available especially when Jürgen Norbert Klopp is going for this retirement for him to make a good career ending, but still I doubt if he will make it out, Arsenal and Manchester city are also hunting that top and both are ready to take over from Liverpool if there is any slight chance. I know Liverpool won yesterday game against Luton Town but it wasn't the way I was expecting it, I know Luton Town are full of surprises sometimes but I wasn't expecting that surprise because Liverpool are in their best form despite some of their key players are injured.
Despite playing the game without some of the best players in the team, Liverpool's performance against Luton Town yesterday I think is a strong proof that Jurgen Klopp is a manager that's experienced enough to win games even without his injured vest players. After it was confirmed that some of the most important members of the Liverpool squad were not gonna play in that game, I was of the opinion that Liverpool were gonna struggle in that game but surprisingly to me, they convincingly won the game. The big question now is that can they still repeat their impressive performance of yesterday with same squad when they meet a stronger English Premier League team? Liverpool manager I think knows what to do to make sure he gets a good result.
