Eighth round of the Premier League: Liverpool is short of men and horses and can correct Chiesa, while Tottenham improves its two-line combat effectiveness

The eighth round of the Premier League will continue on the evening of October 19th. Almost all of Liverpool's main players are in poor condition and are depleted. At this time, Chiesa, who has no Champions League and World Cup qualifying tasks, may be able to play a treasure role. The scene of Tottenham completely giving up the Premier League for the Europa League last season is still fresh in our minds. This season, under the guidance of new coach Frank, Tottenham has made efficient rotations and is expected to take off on both fronts.

Chiesa's current physical condition is better than that of his teammates

Liverpool VS Manchester United - a relatively balanced double club

The defending champion Liverpool stepped down before the national team match week. Three consecutive away defeats made the fans' mood turn from sunny to cloudy, and the pressure on Sloter's shoulders also became huge. When they frequently defeated their opponents at the beginning of the season, fans of other Premier League teams thought that this was the momentum of dominance, but they did not expect that Liverpool would come out to return the favor and put this blockbuster on the screen.

I have never fought such a rich battle, this is the sigh of the popular science players at the beginning of the season. Indeed, even European Cup winners like Chiesa cannot make the Champions League roster. Even Manchester City and Paris during their peak years did not have such strong confidence. In the last round against Chelsea, Slott's substitution adjustments made people feel that he had messed up his position. At the beginning of the season, Endo was indeed promised more playing time, but the practice of letting him play to delay the game in a 1-1 situation was simply more conservative than Maresca against Manchester United.

Liverpool became the backdrop for a decisive victory

At the critical moment of victory, Sloter would rather trust Ekitic than give Chiesa, who has no Champions League and national team tasks, a chance. Unfortunately, Ekitic failed to regain his form after receiving a red card in the League Cup, and Liverpool eventually lost to Macheng. During the national team match week, Isaac tried his best but failed to help Sweden reverse the decline. Although Salah only played one game, after all, his age is there, so even if Chiesa starts this game, it will not be a surprise.

Manchester United has steadily climbed up the standings with its stable performance at home. In the last round against the newly promoted Sunderland, which had strong momentum, Manchester United showed the style of a strong team and finally defeated their opponent 2-0 with an absolute advantage. If coach Smalling has made any improvement this season, it is undoubtedly the use of Mount. Mount had almost no chance to play last season, but he has become the main force this season, and both passing and shooting are approaching the level of the 2021 Champions League championship.

Don't forget that Mount is the winner of the Champions League

Manchester United has not defeated Liverpool in the Premier League for three years. Although Liverpool's recent performance is not good, it has the home court advantage after all and is expected to exert 20% of its strength, while Manchester United is 10%.

Tottenham VS Villa - The birth of a rotation master

Due to the draw with Bournemouth, Tottenham will be among the top four as long as they win this game. Tottenham have performed stably on all fronts this season and have only lost one game so far. Coach Frank is gradually winning the support of the fans. In the last round against Leeds United, Frank made 6 rotations and adopted relatively conservative tactics. The team took the initiative to retreat after taking the lead, giving possession of the ball to Leeds United, and focused on defensive counterattacks. This tactical arrangement inhibited Leeds United's offense to a certain extent, and also gave Tottenham a good opportunity in the counterattack. It was reasonable to win.

Tottenham's stability has significantly improved this season

After Villa's two consecutive victories, they have expanded the gap ahead of the relegation zone to more than one goal. Against Burnley in the last round, coach Emery deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The team made full use of wing breakthroughs and quick counterattack tactics during the game, and the cooperation between Mullen and Rogers showed excellent tacit understanding.

At the same time, the team's positioning and zone defense connection after positioning the ball when defending were relatively good. The team's immediate cleanup and quick replacement after corner kicks also resolved dangerous situations many times. Burnley tried to fend off Villa's attacks through tenacious defense and launched counterattacks when opportunities arose. But in the face of Villa's quick counterattack, their defense lacked stability and gave their opponents more opportunities.

Villa's pressure dropped sharply after two consecutive wins

Tottenham defeated Villa in the last three times, scoring four goals in each game. In the same period, Villa won five games, scoring two goals in each game. It can be seen that the results of the confrontation between the two teams are very unique. Although both teams have European war ties next week, there is no room for failure in this Premier League game. Tottenham is expected to play 30% of their strength, while Villa is 10%.
