It's just game week 4 in the EPL but the league table has been divided into three already.
There is the leaders already as we have seen Liverpool and Manchester city take an early lead while the midtable teams can be seen. The relegation contenders can also be seen.
Liverpool faced Burnley away in the Game week 4 and they won comfortably. Burnley set up in their usual defensive formation with Wood and Ashley Barnes up front. They got a couple of chances to take the lead but couldn't. The game looked to end in a first half draw as Liverpool until Alexander Arnold magical cross turned goal. Arnold intention was to cross the ball into the 18 but it took a deflection off the back of Striker Wood and into the net.
The Burnley goalkeeper Pope was out of his line and couldn't do much to stop the goal. He didn't even see the ball until it landed into the net. Things changed from there and Liverpool dominated. They got the second goal and the third and Burnley never threatened again. It was a comprehensive win for them and they returned to the top of the table.
Chelsea
Lampard young bloods played exactly as I predicted. They are a cheap battery. They play well in the first half and dissapear in the second half. They held a comfortable 2 goals lead and squandered it. They are leaking goals at an alarming rate.
Azpilicueta is not fit for the right back position, he's their weak point and often cause problems for the centre back. When the Rb is bypassed, the centre back will want to help out this moving out of position which will cause a goal.
Offensively, they look solid and can dismantle any team defense on their day, however, they are shambles defensively. A home draw against Sheffield united means Chelsea now have 5 points from 4 games. It's a bad result and they may struggle to keep up with the top teams.
