Chelsea is drawn into a heated match between Arsenal, United, and Liverpool.
Next
Sunday, when Arsenal hosts Manchester United, will be a tough test in its bid
to win the English Premier League, while Liverpool plays Chelsea today, on
Saturday, in the 21st round.
Chelsea and Liverpool face a challenging assignment.
When
Liverpool and Chelsea face again on Saturday at Anfield, it will be clear how
significantly their teams' levels have declined after nearly two decades of
rivalry over championships.
Liverpool
came dangerously close to winning an unprecedented quadruple last season, while
Chelsea took home the Club World Cup.
The
"Reds" defeated the "Blues" on penalties in the FA Cup and
the League Cup, and Liverpool finished second and Chelsea third in the league.
When
ninth-placed Liverpool hosts tenth-placed Chelsea this weekend, such clashes
will seem like distant memories.
The
two teams have slim chances of cracking the top 4, but concluding the campaign
for the Champions League qualification slots seems challenging given the
injuries to Graham Potter and German coach Jurgen Klopp.
Potter
is in a precarious position just four months after taking over for the fired
German Thomas Tuchel, but Klopp has enough accomplishments over his lengthy
stint to mainly chase away the critics.
Chelsea
lost seven of their previous ten games in all competitions until defeating
Crystal Palace (1-0) last weekend, despite significant spending under the
direction of the club's new owners.
In a
quest to identify a secret ingredient, Potter might for the first time work
with the new Ukrainian winger, Mykhailo Modric, who joined for 88 million
pounds ($108 million) from Shakhtar.

and on the broadcast channels, top of the tenth round, in the postponed match
competitions, in the Premier League season 2022/2023.
The
Liverpool vs. Chelsea game will take place at "Anfield," the home of
the Reds, in the postponed tenth round of English Premier League matches.
Jurgen
Klopp's team, who are now in ninth place with only 28 points from 18 games,
enters this game hoping to win and rebound from a string of defeats.
While
Graham Potter's men are positioned in tenth place with 28 points, but from 19
games, Chelsea's team is also experiencing a decrease in recent performances.
The lineup that is anticipated to face Chelsea in the English Premier League is Liverpool.
The
Liverpool team's German coach, Jurgen Klopp, is anticipated to use the
following lineup for the game:
Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker.
Defensive line: Andrew Robertson - Joel Matip - Ibrahima Konate - Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Midfield: Fabinho - Harvey Elliott - Thiago Alcantara.
Offensive line: Darwin Nunez - Cody Jakobo - Mohamed Salah.
The lineup that is anticipated to face Liverpool in the English Premier League is for Chelsea.
Graham
Potter, the manager of Chelsea, is anticipated to start the game with the
following lineup:
Goalkeeper: Kepa Arethabalaga.
Defense line: Lewis Hall - Thiago Silva - Benoit Badiachel - Trevoh Chalobah.
Midfield: Jorginho - Mateo Kovacic - Conor Gallagher.
Offensive line: Mason Mount - Hakim Ziyech - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
As
both clubs get closer to the relegation zone, Everton and its coach Frank
Lampard will travel to play West Ham and its coach David Moyes near the bottom
of the rankings. The two coaches are under a lot of pressure.
The
English Premier League champion's identity used to be decided by the outcome of
the match between Arsenal and Manchester United, particularly during the
lengthy tenures of managers Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson.
The
rivalry has largely faded into the background in recent years, but there is a
growing sense that Arsenal's leaders are close to ending a two-decade wait to
win the Premier League championship, while United started to regain its usual
strength under the guidance of the Dutchman Erik ten Hag and the departure of
Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
As a
result, the team led by young Spaniard Mikel Arteta became favorites to win the
first championship since 2004. The "Gunners" are in the lead with
more points than ever at this point in the season, and they gain advantage from
the struggles of the teams behind them, particularly the defending champion
Manchester City.
Arsenal's
league games over the next two months seem within reach, with the exception of
the encounter against United and the "Citizens" match in February.
Ten
Hag's team travels to the Emirates Stadium eight points behind Arsenal without
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, who is suspended after picking up his fourth
caution of the year during the poor 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
Moyes and Lampard wasting time
Aston
Villa's or Southampton's performance against Aston Villa will determine which
team finishes at the bottom of the table on Saturday, so neither of them will
approach the game in London with much confidence. On the other hand, Lampard
and Moyes are quickly approaching the crucial confrontation between them.
Additionally,
West Ham has only earned one point in its last seven league games, while
Everton has earned one point out of a potential 18.
This
week, there were rumors that Moyes may be fired if he lost the game. However,
while Moyes expected loyalty from the club's supporters, the Hammers finished
eighth last season and advanced to the semifinals of the European League tournament
(Europa League).
