The two English clubs that catch up on the 8th day of the Premier League are going through a tormented period and are in search of results. If they have almost nothing left to play for, the two Premier League leaders have an honor to save at the end of the year.
If after 27 Premier League days you were told that Chelsea would be in 11th place and Liverpool would be 8th, a lot of you will have thought you were crazy. And yet, it is very real. The two English clubs have had a very complicated season and they are very far from the usual standards. Chelsea and Liverpool meet this Tuesday, April 4 to catch up with a late game that was originally scheduled for Matchday 8.
Water has flowed under the bridge since within the two teams. Liverpool are in total loss and the Reds have recently suffered heavy defeats. They first lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 5-2 on February 21 and then in the Premier League to Manchester City 4-1 on April 1. Unrecognizable, Jurgen Klopp’s men sometimes seem overwhelmed on the pitch and they no longer show the same face they used to show us.
Chelsea, for its part, is going through a completely different crisis. Still in the Champions League, the club has a workforce that has cost far too much. The many players that make up this squad fall far short of the expectations set by the managers who eventually fired Graham Potter as manager after Stamford Bridge lost 2-0 to Aston Villa on Saturday 1 April. Bruno Saltor was named interim coach. The only consolation in Chelsea’s misfortune is the return of French international midfielder N’Golo Kanté, who had been absent from the field for many months.
This match between Chelsea and Liverpool which is considered as one of the greatest matches of the English Championship will start from 9 p.m.
Premier League matches in France are broadcast by the Canal media, which owns these rights in England until at least 2025.
Channel having the rights of the Premier League can offer on its streaming platforms all the meetings including this clash between Chelsea and Liverpool.
Chelsea ousted Graham Potter who did not obtain the results expected by management who placed Bruno Saltor as interim coach. The latter has the heavy task of restarting the machine of the Blues who are only 11th in the Premier League. He is expected to field N’Golo Kanté from the start tonight, who returned to competition on April 1 against Aston Villa. The Liverpool Reds are also not in better shape and they are struggling to play together. Jurgen Klopp could still trust his executives.
