MATCH DETAILS:
Chelsea has a good tournament position before the upcoming match. The Blues are in fourth place, which gives a ticket to the Champions League. They are five points ahead of the closest pursuers – Manchester United and Wolves. I must say that after the misfire of Leicester in the duel of the current round with Aston Villa, the distance from the third position is only four points. So, if successful, it can be reduced to a minimum. Before the quarantine break, Chelsea got in good shape. The London club won two previous home league matches against Everton (4: 0) and Tottenham Hotspur (2: 1), and defeated Liverpool (2: 0) in the FA Cup. The Blues also played well after a pause, taking three important points away from Aston Villa (2: 1).
“Citizens” have almost resigned as champion. Now Mankunians take the second place in the championship. They are behind indecent 20 points from Liverpool, and the third Leicester are eight points ahead. After quarantine, Josep Guardiola’s team showed good readiness. In the first match after the pause, Arsenal (3-0) was defeated, and Burnley (5-0) was destroyed in the last round.
