The outbreak of the Corona in the kingdom does not let go of the Premier League teams and also seriously affects the top game between Chelsea and Liverpool that is being held at this time

Yesterday (Saturday) Liverpool announced that coach Jürgen Klopp is borderline positive for the virus and hence unable to stand on the lines at Stamford Bridge, and today confirmed that goalkeeper Allison, stopper Joel Matip and striker Roberto Firmino are also positive for the virus and are of course absent from the meeting.

Klopp's place on the lines will be missed by Pep Linders, and Kaumin Keller opened the scoring in place of the Brazilian.

On the other hand, host coach Thomas Tuchel, decided to sift Romulo Lukaku from the squad following the interview in which he talked about his dissatisfaction with the situation and the one who came up in his place in the tip is the German Kai Habertz.

Tuchel and Chelsea are also missing Reese James, Anders Christensen and Ben Chillwell who finished the season.

Surprisingly, Giorginio went down to the bench and at the link came Angulo Canta and Matthew Kovacic.

As you know, yesterday at the beginning of the round the two chasers of Manchester City saw her continue to win and open a gap of 11 points at the top.

Chelsea have drawn three of the last four games, while Liverpool have lost to Leicester and previously finished 2-2 with Tottenham, so both have lost points recently and must win if they want to challenge the champions.

Game move

Minute 1:20 seconds from the opening whistle, Mana hit with his elbow in the face of Aspliquata, the referee was content with only a yellow card.

Minute 6: What a huge miss by Liverpool.

Mana escaped to Aspiliquata on the right line, sent a wide pass and Salah and the Egyptian failed to subdue Mandy with a touch.

Minute 7: Now it was Chelsea with a miss that is not seen every day.

Alexander Arnold tried to keep his distance and kicked the ball, from which the ball reached Polisic and the latter found himself alone in front of Keller, who sent long arms and saved a goal.

The mistakes from side to side continue and this time Mana also found the net.

Cheluba tried to get ahead of Mana with his head, but made a mistake and left the Senegalese alone in front of Mandy.

Mana bypassed the goalkeeper and rolled into the exposed net.
