EPL matchday 21 continues with the 4 remaining games set to be played today: Chelsea taking on Burnley, Leicester City hosting Leeds United, West Ham United facing off against Liverpool, and lastly, Brighton and Hove Albion taking on Tottenham Hotspur.
As usual, we will be focusing on 1 game, and my choice for today's analysis is the game between Chelsea and Burnley. Yes, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea taking on an impressive Sean Dyche's Burnley. Shall we begin with the analysis?
1) CHELSEA:
Although Chelsea are having some terrible run of games recently losing 3, drawing 2, and winning just 1 of their last 6 EPL games, I bet they will feel a bit relieved and motivated coming up against a somewhat rejuvenated Burnley side based on 2 stats.
The first is the superior "Head To Head" they have got over the Clarets with the Blues winning 5, drawing 2, and losing just 1 of their last 8 meetings. Furthermore, the Blues are currently on a 3 game winning streak over Sean Dyche's men, and I believe they will be looking forward to improving on this.
The second is more of a point than a stat favoring Chelsea to get something in this game, and it is none other than the new manager they have got in Thomas Tuchel. We saw how impressive the Blues played against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out, although, they were unable to get a goal in that encounter. The unpredictability of Tuchel's style of play could be a huge concern for Sean Dsyhe and his men as we know how hard it could be when you go up against an opponent whose tactics/moves you have got no clear idea about.
2) BURNLEY:
No doubt about it, the Clarets have been nothing short of amazing in their last 2 EPL games as we saw them put an end to Liverpool's previous unbeaten home record of 67 games, a feat even the big dogs could not achieve, and also came from a goal down to defeat Aston Villa. I bet Tuchel and his men now know they have got a huge game today, and for the Clarets who are currently on a run of 3 wins in all competitions, I bet they will be looking forward to extending this to 4 games.
Although, these stats tilts towards any of both teams getting a win, I will not be suprised if the game ends in a draw, but it is Chelsea who would be on the losing end as a draw could have great negative impact on then getting a top 6 finish this season.
Nevertheless, I hope we get an entertaining game.
