It is true that Chelsea is currently having a bad season in contrast to Liverpool who are experience a much better season, even from the standings table alone it is clear that Chelsea and Liverpool are at different level. Chelsea is like a mediocre club which is ranked 10th while Liverpool is in first place, which mean it will not be easy for Chelsea to beat Liverpool and hold Liverpool to a draw because this club is struggling to maintain its top position so as not to be displaced by Manchester City who continues to trail Liverpool in 2nd placed.

Chelsea is already quite far behind with the top 5 ranked clubs. Aston Villa has collection 43 points while Chelsea has only collected 31 points. The difference of 12 points is a very big difference. It's impossible if Chelsea is able to catch up to be ranked in the top 5. I think Chelsea might still end up on the board middle of the standings or at least in the top 10 of the standings.

chelsea's target this season is best to be able to compete in Europe next season europa league or europa confrence league. and in the efl cup chelsea qualify for the final. by winning the efl cup it is guaranteed to get europa league tickets. the best target this season is winning the efl cup or top 6 at the end of the competition. champion league is impossible with chelsea's performance this season which is very bad.

I think this is not too surprising for many people because Chelsea has not completely improved because sometimes Chelsea is still inconsistent and sometime cannot put pressure on weak teams and sometimes Chelsea can still be beaten by an ordinary team. This defeat is not surprising because basically Liverpool is in good form this season and with full confidence in being able to win the EPL title this season while still being coaching by Kloop, and of course Kloop want to wins the EPL title for the last time with Liverpool.

It was clear that it was like a match between two teams of different classes, Chelsea couldn't make any effort and couldn't improve their performance because everything was controlled by Liverpool.
Regardless of the final result, there was no significant resistance from Chelsea which allowed Liverpool to easily win the match, which is quite a shame.

For Chelsea's target of finishing in the top 4 or 5, I don't think it will ever happen, they don't deserve it, they still have a lot to fix and it's possible that won't be possible this season.

Mainoo as the savior for manchester united after a hard game against wolves. this is also helping manchester united to be even far from chelsea. United is slowly but surely climbing up even higher than before. yet chelsea must lose three points against liverpool which was very bad achievement for the club.
I was so pumped when the game was entering into the late game as manchester united was unable to score but finally mainoo made it as the end of game. He was scoring for united and it was getting three points. No doubt that if people are starting to praise him on the internal by calling him as a savior.
He has been trending on twitter as well and this is an opportunity for united to get full points in any match. im sure that if manchester united will be performing even better in the upcoming match. Yet defenders and goal keepers are the true opponents of manchester united itself.
The shitty goal keeper and defender who can't play better and they keep stuck in the same place while some players have been performing better in this game. Manchester united was almost losing three points which will be giving bad impact to the club.
Im very happy with the result from this game. Manchester united's effort paid off. thanks mainoo.

Manchester United had a thrilling and hard-fought match against Wolves, but they secured a crucial win in the end. The fact that they needed to put in their big efforts to ensure the three points reflects the struggling situation in their side. The defensive issues faced by Manchester United is an area that may need attention and improvement to ensure a more balanced and secure performance, especially in the latter stages of the game.

The stoppage time goal from Mainoo that secured the victory demonstrates the resilience and determination of the Manchester United squad. Coming back to secure a win after the equalizer shows character and fighting spirit, which are essential qualities for a successful team. This result will undoubtedly boost the confidence of Manchester United, and it's a positive outcome as they aim to maintain momentum and compete at the highest level. Matches like these, with late drama and critical goals, contribute to the excitement.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. And it could've been even worse if not for the missed penalty.
Chelsea got absolutely dominated, only managed to make a total of 4 shots (3 on target) in the entire game Vs Liverpool's 28 (13 on target). It doesn't get much worse than that.
It almost seemed like Liverpool was playing a team from a much lower division. Now they're too far behind to even dream about finishing in the top 5.

Manchester United are without playing entertaining football once again. They needed to win their game tonight against Wolves which they did put in their best to make sure they took all three points from the game. However, we mustn't shy away from the fact that the club's defensive display tonight was very bad and if not for the stoppage time goal from Mainoo, Wolves would've come back from 3:1 to share points with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United. Wolves did equalize in the game in the 5th minute of additional but failed to to protect their result till the final whistle as Manchester United's Mainoo scored two minutes later to ensure that Manchester United leaves the Molineux stadium tonight. Great result for Manchester United as they got an important win tonight

It wouldn't be a lie to say that Manchester United are playing with fire again. Leading 3-1 in the 75th minute, the team cannot break the match and win. Yes, he won today, but 90+5. The score was 3-3 in the minute. Two minutes after this goal, they scored the winning goal with Mainoo and became the side that got 3 points, but they almost lost the victory they had. Wolverhampton was the side that had the ball more. Manchester played a little hard and got 5 yellow cards. Manu may have won, but he didn't give me any hope for the future. If City keep playing the ball this well. The city of Manchester will remain blue for a long time.

Man Utd was very lucky, Mainoo managed to score their final winning goal in the last minute, in the second half I saw Man Utd's game was very bad, I don't know what happened to Man Utd's back line, they almost conceded a lot, luckily Onana was quick to respond, Wolves too played very well in the second half, they were very dominant, Man Utd could calm down because they managed to climb to 7th position.
in another match, bournemouth almost won if prowse didn't score a goal for west ham, bournemouth was very stable in this match, they played well, it's a shame they weren't lucky.

Without Salah in the match against Chelsea, in fact, it didn't make Liverpool weak because Jota, Nunez and Diaz were able to put on quite an impressive performance on Liverpool front line. Chelsea looked quite weak in yesterday match and they even seemed to have great difficulty in threatening Liverpool goal. I imagine the Carabao Cup final in the upcoming match where Liverpool will face Chelsea and if Chelsea performance is like yesterday match it will certainly be quite easy for Liverpool to beat Chelsea.

Apart from that, Chelsea still finds it difficult to show their strength when facing strong teams. They have not been able to change their performance this season where their defense is one of the things that is quite a concern against Liverpool. because when their defense is not strong then the opponent will be able to play in their defense area like Liverpool did where the ball just rolls under Chelsea defense area which makes Liverpool freely continue to threaten Chelsea goal.

Tottenham really needed this victory and you could see frim how they changed the game in the second half. They got all 3 goals in the second half majorly because of how high they pressed Brentford. They took Brentford by suprise by scoring an equalizer at the early stages of the 2nd half, which game them a boost in that game.They were so lucky even though their attack seems a little sluggish probably because of Son missing out due to the Asian Cup I think they’ll need to up their game and keep maintaining victories so that they’ll be able to finish in the top 4 and head to the UCL.

 I know thier aim is European football and that can be achieved if they’ve got high fighting spirit and are ready to challenge for the spot because they’ve got a good team with quality squad depth that can challenge on Villa and Arsenal and get into the UCL next season if only they keep up with their good performance.

Overall they're better that Chelsea, and there's no way Chelsea would've seek themselves winning that game yesterday night. My prediction was to see the both of them drawing anyways bit they failed me. After many years of seeing them holding down Liverpool, Chelsea football club led down them guards finally and submitted to Liverpool.
They will have to fight for the Premier League Competition not just hope and think luck would favor them, they have done well without Mo Salah in this periods. Diego Jota and the rest of the lads have literally done well to see Liverpool progressing forward.

Manchester United got some luck tonight, it's a game they didn't manage well, they should have won with a good clean sheets bit they failed woefully. Thanks to the teenage Kobbie Mainoo.

They are aware that Brentford's counterattacks are quite dangerous so the only way is to take control of the game with possession and continue to attack.
It was an interesting match although in terms of strength and attack Tottenham were much better but Brentford's counterattacks and defensive schemes were also worthy of praise in yesterday's match.

Son's absence will definitely be very influential but on the other hand they must also continue to strive to be consistent and a victory in this week's match is certainly very good as a spirit booster for them.

Today's match looks like Manchester United will secure 3 points especially with a score that is actually quite favorable for them now.

Before the English Premier League game between Manchester City and Burnley kicked off yesterday, I was of the opinion that the clarets does not stand a chance to get anything from that game and that's because Manchester City first team is almost complete at the moment as most of the first team players are all fit for the game.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are currently occupying the second spot in the English Premier League table and wouldn't want to to lose that spot to anyone but will rather want to make sure they overtake league leaders Liverpool and that was why they delivered that incredible performance yesterday against Burnley. The battle for who finishes as the winner of the English Premier League title looks fierce already as none of the two teams at the top of the league is ready to drop points

Yes, in terms of ball control they are almost equal, but the more visible difference is in terms of attack and defense.
If you look at the match or match summary you will see overall that Chelsea players are only able to control the ball to defend and do not have the ability to attack while Liverpool have the ability to control the ball and quickly put pressure on the Chelsea defense and in the end the defenders are too often put under pressure Chelsea lost focus and after successfully scoring 1 score Liverpool attacking players knew the right gap and ended up conceding a big goal.

Why do most people say that Chelsea is like a bottom club because they don't have reliable players so they have difficulty working together solidly and have difficulty competing with top clubs
There are even some people now saying that Chelsea is like a club that will never succeed in the Premier League and this has happened since the change in club ownership and at that time Chelsea became worse and lost its golden age.
Liverpool also seemed too aggressive in yesterday's match and it seemed like that was the aim of maintaining their position.

Manchester City are better than Burnley by far and they won with a good score.
Tottenham Hotspur is a team with random results, playing against Brentford which dropped in performance lately so the result isn't a surprise for me at least. I would say that they managed to not lose a point rather than managed to win the game..
Liverpool victory is also normal regarding the performance and results shown by them at the opposite of the very fluctuating Chelsea performance.

Matches are just about winning, losing and drawing. Another value contained in the match revolves around the pleasure expressed through expressions when a goal is scored. Liverpool's win at Anfield was part of all that as they beat Chelsea by a big score.

We are very happy with the results obtained by Liverpool. 3 important points to maintain your chances of winning at the end of the season. Another pleasure is the return of Robbo to the squad to maintain consistency until the end of the season.
Nunez was very unlucky yesterday. Many of the opportunities given to him failed to become goals. The penalty award also did not make him a Liverpool player who could score.

The name Conor Bradley, who performed very well, will certainly be Liverpool's future project when Jurgen Klopp no longer continues his work.

Chelsea was made to look like a bottom team in front of Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Chelsea didn't have a good performance in this match. This can be seen from the quite equal possession of the ball between the two teams (51% Liverpool - 49% Chelsea).

What made the difference in this match was Liverpool who played with full confidence that they had to give the best they had before Klopp left Anfield. There are still 16 matches left, and I hope that Liverpool will become PL champions this season.

Liverpool is just stepping up even higher without salah and this is a very big achievement for the club. Glad to see that liverpool is also spreading the news if the club is ready to win EPL this season. I remember that people were doubting liverpool without salah but this proves that if they are totally wrong about this. Liverpool is performing even better compared to the last season. It seems like that situation is forcing liverpool to perform beyond their limit. This is also giving a lot of advantage to the people. Im hoping that liverpool can at least give him a trophy. Im sure that klopp will be feeling so happy with it.

The club needs to perform even better compared to the last season and this is my main concern regarding this. Im thinking about klopp will be fully focused on how to win the carabao cup against chelsea. Im sure pochettino will be doing some changes in the squad.
Yet liverpool is not feeling scary against it. Liverpool needs to keep the current performance to get a lot of trophies at the end of seaosn. The club has everything need to win some trophies.

Just hope liverpool can make it and a good result against chelsea. This is showing that if liverpool is not relying upon salah. The club can still achieve the best result without him on the squad.
