Both teams have problems: Potter is looking for a new style of play after the departure of Thomas Tuchel, and Gerrard is trying to get the most out of a team that has very serious problems in the game. What happens with the existing compositions of such coaches?
ASTON VILLA
Here at Villa things have been going very badly since the beginning of the season. This translates into 16th place in the Premier League and only 9 points. Two wins and three draws in 9 games. Where did everything that once was at the “Villa” go? You should not associate all this with the fact that the team did not find a replacement for Jack Grealish, although a player of this caliber would be very useful to Gerrard. Ollie Watkins and Danny Ingz are not particularly convincing at the forefront of the attack, although both of them could gain experience by playing in the national team (alas, Ingz is not very lucky to play in the national team). Watkins has a goal drought so far, but he explained this to the tabloid Express and Star by saying that he is too greedy on the field.
CHELSEA
Well, we saw a lot of miracles in the performance of a coach named Potter. He managed to beat Milan at home and away in the Champions League battles: he won 3-0 at home, and recently a 2-0 away victory was recorded. Moreover, in the away case, “Milan” finished the game in the first half, remaining with ten men, conceding a penalty after the penalty was removed and then yawning the second goal. Jorginho himself passed the whole game perfectly, and scored this penalty. Although the word “penalty” among Italians since last autumn does not evoke the most pleasant memories … Yes, and Jorginho himself, according to the Semper Milan portal, said that the judge, although he appointed a penalty in the case, that broke the game of “Rosso Nerri”.
PREDICTIONS
Nevertheless, here we will take a risk and bet on a draw: even with the current standings, the hosts will not win, but they cannot take and simply merge the game. Chelsea, after all, is also not going smoothly in the Premier League. Let’s hope that McGinn and the company will play clearly in defense: if they concede first, they will be able to equalize. After all, the defense of Chelsea is no longer as strong as it was under Tuchel.
