The Premier League is having a season of surprises and Chelsea's relegation is one of the biggest surprises.
Premier League fixtures tonight
In this round, Chelsea (39 points) will play away at Bournemouth (39 points) with a difficult match at 9:00 p.m. (Vietnam time). The difficulty is not because Dean Court is the home team's sacred ground but because of the contrasting form of the two clubs. While Bournemouth is in good form with 4 wins in the last 5 matches, Chelsea has lost 4/5 recent matches. This contrast has caused the two clubs to have the same number of points and are running as far as possible from the relegation zone.
Aubameyang has not been of much help to Chelsea this season.
Chelsea have only played 33 matches, but they are only 9 points above the danger zone, so in theory, Lampard's team can be relegated if they lose all their remaining matches. They have lost 4/5 recent matches, who can say for sure that they will not lose in the remaining 5 matches? Only the most ardent Chelsea fans believe that.
Who can stop Man City from winning the Premier League this season?
Also in the match at the same time, Man City (79 points) will have the opportunity to increase the gap with Arsenal in the match against Leeds United (30 points), a team in a very dangerous area. The home team will almost certainly have 3 points in this match thanks to their class, form and thanks to... their opponents. Leeds United is a favorite opponent of Coach Guardiola's team when they conceded 14 goals in the last 3 confrontations, including Haaland's double in the 3-1 victory in the first leg.
In terms of form, it is no coincidence that Man City quickly took the top spot from Arsenal because they have won 9 consecutive matches in the Premier League regardless of whether their opponents are Liverpool, Arsenal or Newcastle. Therefore, they completely deserve to get maximum points against a team that has lost 6/7 recent away matches like Leeds United and the return to the English First Division is not far away for coach Sam Allardyce and his team.
Salah is shining in Liverpool's shirt
At 11:30 p.m., Liverpool (59 points) will host Brentford (50 points). MU's unexpected loss to Brighton in the middle of the week has made the chance of returning to the top 4 of the Premier League clearer for coach Klopp and his team. Losing 4 points and playing 1 more match is not a big chance but it is still a very slim hope. Liverpool's problem is that they do not face any big teams in the last 3 rounds (Leicester, Aston Villa, Southampton respectively) while MU has to face West Ham, Chelsea and a difficult FA Cup final with Man City. Therefore, to have hope, coach Klopp and his team need to "kill" Brentford first.
Remember, Brentford beat Liverpool 3-1 in the first leg in early 2023, so Liverpool players need to be more careful. Liverpool have been unbeaten in 10 Premier League matches at Anfield, but a draw is also a defeat for them at this time. Meanwhile, before the recent win at Chelsea, Brentford did not play well away from home with 2 consecutive losses. Brentford has a relatively stable defense, so if they can solve the problem of attacking and missing fewer opportunities, Liverpool have a chance to win this match.
