Leicester  - Tottenham

It looks like Tottenham will win this match and will get a full coin which will shift Arsenal in fifth position in the standings.

Well, Tottenham can win the game. Antonio Conte knows what they have to prepare to beat Leicester quickly. But we all know that Leicester's condition has also turned out to be in the most optimal condition since they were able to make Watford unable to move with a difference of 3 points. Being in the top 10 spots for Leicester still needs a lot more push. Quite a remote possibility. I think the Tottenham game against Leicester will produce a very dramatic score.

Leicester  - Tottenham

It looks like Tottenham will win this match and will get a full coin which will shift Arsenal in fifth position in the standings.

Tottenham had the opportunity to do so today where they had to take every opportunity to score. I don't think they will lose or have to end the match with a draw because this match is a good start to allow a return to the top 4 overtaking Arsenal who are in 5th place. Tottenham need just a few wins to get into the top 4 and I think Conte will do well.

For the Brentford vs Manchester United match, I believe 3 points will go to Manchester United today. This should be an easy win for them. Really not sure Brentford will be able to hold on to a draw or be able to beat Manchester United in this match even though Brentford is playing in front of the fans at home.

2 to 3 points must be achieved by Tottenham in this match. Allow it or not it's enough to be a very heavy thing. Although Leicester City will certainly provide such a tight match to make it more difficult for Tottenham's players to penetrate the defense. The score is indeed quite heavy, if Tottenham insists on reaching the top 4, of course, they cannot let even 1 goal concede. Leicester City will show a bit of aggression this time. As we know coach A. Conte has 1000 ways of reading the opponent's attack.

Chelsea had many chances of scoring, but lacked a good striker. Although, it was a home match for Brighton, and they pressured Chelsea in the second half, after losing in the first half. They however succeeded in securing a goal, which probably equalized the score. Nevertheless, as a Chelsea fan, I was highly disappointed with their performance yesterday. I hope to see them recover by winning Tottenham on Sunday.

It seems that Chelsea's performance is on the decline. Previously they lost to Man City and now they can only draw against Brighton, so in their last 4 matches in the Premier League, Chelsea hasn't won once. Brighton was a real stumbling block for Chelsea, from their two Premier League games, it all ended in a draw.

With this result, Chelsea failed to shift Liverpool, and of course, it's a good chance for Liverpool to get away from Chelsea because they have 2 games less than Chelsea.

Manchester city have been nothing but almost perfect this season and they deserve all the credits, 12 points gap between Chelsea and game in hand to make it 15 points there is no stopping city right now. The best and most consistent team wins the EPL for sure, Liverpool are the  only team that has a little bit of advantage to draw the gap closer or keep it this way if they can be as consistent as city. Chelsea should be able to get all three points against Tottenham but conte wouldn’t make it an easy task since they are also trying to secure a top 4 position to ensure them play European football next season.

I wonder what Manchester United will do tonight. They have an away game against Brentford and Brentford have been really bad for weeks. They won only once in the recent times and lost so many times. Manchester United should be able to put an end to their unstable performance by this game. Away or not, they are really strong and they can beat Brentford. We should be able to see at least the same effort in the Aston Villa game in attacking. But they need to be more aware in defense at the same time. They can win this game.

Although Brentford is a weak team, we have to keep in mind that Manchester United's performance is very irregular. Despite having an extraordinary squad, they have a record of losing points against a weaker team. It is certain that Pogba and Eric Bailly will not be in the squad for today's match. Bailly is now performing in the Africa Cup of Nations and Pogba is in injury. On the other hand, not sure if Ronaldo, Rashford, Lingard, and Martial will play. They got small injured. I don't think Manchester United can win if these players are absent from the match.

Chelsea played 23 matches already while Arsenal 20 and Tottenham 18. If both Arsenal and Tottenham win all the games, the standings would be:
1. Manchester City
2. Liverpool
3. Tottenham
4-5. Chelsea/Arsenal

It should be the most concern by Chelsea for now, because they might even out from the top 4 if they keep losing points in their upcoming matches till the end of the season.

I really doubt that would be the case, I am pretty sure that we are not going to see Tottenham and Arsenal winning every single game they play. However, I am pretty sure that they will win some of them and it will result with them getting closer for sure. It is going to be just a few point difference, and we are going to see them within just one game or max two game difference. That is how you make the league more entertaining.

Liverpool is already ahead of Chelsea with literally 2 games behind, shows how great they are, they are also one game behind City, but the point difference is 11 so even if they win that, the difference would become 8 points and that's a lot.

[Distraction]

I guess that I would prefer watching the Leicester - Tottenham match mostly as I expect it to be really competitive and we could watch goal(s) from each side. Tottenham are my favourite to win this match but I don't see them as the clear favourite of course. Bookmakers also see it as a difficult match for Tottenham as they have an odd around 2.30 for a victory. Leicester will do their best but it might not be enough for a win. Conte's system is working really well and I don't think they will lose.

Chelsea 1-1 Brighton.  
Brighton really tried to draw this game with Chelsea,  I was thinking Chelsea will use todays match to shine but unfortunately Brighton was even ready to face Chelsea in the match.

Chelsea has won just once in the last 6 matches against Brighton and drawing 5 matches, that is a good record for Brighton seems like they know how to play against Chelsea and hold them for 90 mins pretty well. And as for yesterday game I give credit to Brighton they performed incredibly well again a top team like Chelsea and they have been pretty good all round this season (with draws, lol) sitting on 9th position with 29 point and just 8 points away from the top 4 position I think Graham Potter deserves some credit.

[ILuckyGuyI]

The thing I was scared of happened and Chelsea got a draw against Brighton last night. After getting ahead by 1-0, I really thought that they would secure a 1-0 win in the worst case. But it was obvious that this was a risky score for them. We have seen how much Brighton are capable in their home games so far. Chelsea should have been able to increase the goal difference to two and relieve. Their terrible run continues and they are not in a serious fight for the title anymore of course.

But you will always hesitate to choose a draw when this game has not started because we know that in terms of quality, Chelsea deserved to win. Chelsea may not be in a hurry to win the game after previously losing to manchester city, but the result of the Brighton vs Chelsea match was very good for Liverpool. For the next match, Liverpool will soon make the distance of points with Chelsea to 8 and will leave Chelsea in third position longer. Liverpool have 2 match to equal  the number of match Chelsea have played and that would provide an opportunity to widen it to 11 points.

Liechester city will be trying to win to move up the rankings. Although it's not easy Totenham. Neither team is at their best, Liechester and Totenham are both unstable, they are quite balanced at the moment. I think Liechester are more confident because they will play at the King Power Stadium. That's what they have to take advantage of to get one point or even win in this match. They have to be on their strikers Kane and Son. I think shutting down these two players is a way to get points.

Since Conte has coached Tottenham, I think their form is now much more stable than Leicester's this season. Tottenham managed to maintain an unbeaten record in their last 8 matches in the Premier League, it must be good even though they were not able to win all of those matches.

Leicester may be ahead because they are playing at home but given Tottenham's better form then I'm sure Antonio Conte's scuad will win at King Power today. Although this is not an easy match, but today we will see Arsenal will be knocked down to 6th place by Tottenham. I also believe they can still reach the top 4, but that is still hindered by the next match because they will meet Chelsea again.

If you look at the line-up of the two teams, I think they will draw because they don't have a few core players for both Tottenham and Leicester, the most notable being the absence of Son in Tottenham and Vardy in Leicester.
I think even though Tottenham are playing at home, a draw will most likely happen in this match

That's why Brighton performance against Chelsea has really made their defense really tight and Chelsea always fails to add more scores. The draw did not make the Chelsea players satisfied with the results they got. As for Brighton, they are quite confident when they managed to hold Chelsea to a draw, meaning that Graham Potter's team still has an existence that deserves to be taken into account.

Right now Tottenham is good and quality side but Leicester City current form is also not bad at all they won 5 matches from 5 at home specially against Liverpool, so it's not easy ride for Tottenham their away record is also not good at all we can expect very entertaining match between these two teams even Leicester City is having serious issue with some good number of first team players unavailable due to National Duty and few missing due to injuries, but they are capable of having some good bench power which can give them strong back up.

Conte is very good in his tactics but still it's going to be a very tough game between these two sides with Rodgers is also not bad at all here in his own way.

[KTChampions]

What is the point of discussing Chelsea's championship prospects if they have long since disappeared?
The funny thing is, if Arsenal win all their games they have in hand, they'll be equal to Chelsea in terms of points. If Tottenham do the same, they will be ahead of Chelsea  Of course, this is unlikely, but nevertheless now it is worth discussing whether Chelsea can hold on to third place, given that they are churning out draws, the likelihood of this is decreasing.

You are absolutely correct. Chelsea played 23 matches already while Arsenal 20 and Tottenham 18. If both Arsenal and Tottenham win all the games, the standings would be:
1. Manchester City
2. Liverpool
3. Tottenham
4-5. Chelsea/Arsenal

It should be the most concern by Chelsea for now, because they might even out from the top 4 if they keep losing points in their upcoming matches till the end of the season.

I don't think Arsenal and Tottenham are capable of such a long winning streak (especially Arsenal - they're going to have very difficult games now) but still if Chelsea keep losing points their third place will be less clear. By the way, all these "surprises" and interesting calculations will attract our attention for a long time - when there are teams in the top with a difference of 5 (LOL!) games played, this has to be taken into account.

I was quite surprised by the formation that Chelsea did in this match because they did apply the formation that was not usual.
when i see chelsea i actually feel they are better when they form 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 because indeed it will be good enough for them but here they give a formation that is quite unique, namely 4-2-2-2 where indeed they are also not very good
on the other hand I think Ziyech did quite well and put in a great performance and gave feedback on Tuchel's trust in him

[AakZaki]

I would say unlucky them. They are not playing such bad either. Was playing nice, had domination on field and leading the match in the first half in an away match. That's cool performance but sadly they had to concede 1 goal. I don’t think 1 point against Brighton in an away match is so bad but yeah, they are getting out of the EPL winning position.

That's as far as the end result is what they're after. Of course Chelsea did not expect a draw against Brighton. They didn't press after being as comfortable as they were, they were too comfortable with the result. Besides it seemed like a slightly congested schedule made them look like they were very slow moving, it seemed like they were tired. The gap is 12 points and if Man City win then the gap will be 15 points, it's very far. Tuchel also seemed to be very confused by the declining performance at the beginning of this second half. Maybe they should immediately spend new players to add strength.

[judas]

What a disappointing start for Tottenham really! They started very dominantly to the game but Leicester scored an unexpected goal and upset the balances. Now, we see Leicester being more in the game and this is a thing that Tottenham should never let it happening. This may even lead to Leicester's 2nd goal in a short time which would be the biggest shock for Tottenham. Tottenham should gather themselves up and fight for the win. I know that they are capable of doing this. And hopefully they can.

Edit: Right after I made this post, Tottenham scored the equalizer. Good for them! And I'm happy too see that Kane scored it.

Regardless of how Chelsea has done, it is a bit unclear why they have adopted a formation that they don't always use to defend their backline. Now there is Manchester United playing against Brentford who has already started. It looks like this should be a match that makes Ronaldo and his friends take more points than monotony and not too many moves. Manchester United's performance always raises big questions about the compatibility of Ralf Rangnick with his players rather than Carrick, who had wanted to be pulled back by Sir Alex.

Look at Manchester's formation which is more open in the middle and makes the left and right sides into a pretty tight defense. to dodge the attacks built by Toney and Mbeumo.

Agree here it's not easy for any team specially into Premier League where we have most unpredictable results around European Leagues like we have Chelsea vs Brighton where most of the pundits were feeling easy win for Chelsea but Brighton done something special right now we have another good match in progress where Leicester City is leading by 1 - 0 against Tottenham which is very entertaining start of match even Tottenham playing very aggressively but still Leicester City is having some better finishing so here for staying at top you need some very good quality and good touch currently just two teams having some better spots Manchester City and Liverpool all others need to do some hard work for staying around otherwise they can lose their spot like Chelsea and West Ham.

It will be quite a score to make us confused if the Leicester game turns out to be quite difficult for Tottenham defenders. It was clear when the game statistics almost equalized. Until the estimated score of Tottenham's hopes is getting thinner. Tottenham have a lot of ideas when they start up the tempo that's when they make changes to the flow of attack. I hope in the second half, Tottenham continues to press from the side and with through passes or long-range shots.

Leicester have a habit of playing well against top teams and losing to weaker teams, in my many years of watching the team as a fan I have noticed that Besides, they are in good form now, I would even say very good, so Tottenham will either have to put the pressure on Lees straight away, or keep a moderate game and score towards the end. It's not a good idea to push at the start because even if they manage to score, Leicester will easily come back to haunt them later on.
