Chelsea Vs Liverpool: See Chelsea’s Next 6 Fixtures In January After #CHELIV—-Currently positioned in 2nd place in the Premier League table, The European Champions have revealed the next six fixtures for the club.
Having lost 11 points, Chelsea is not ready to give up in the title race.
Chelsea head into their second-against-third clash with Liverpool on Sunday 11 points behind leaders City who are running away to a fourth Premier League title in five years. It’s a game neither side can afford to lose.
Tuchel believes the main reason for Chelsea falling so far — and so quickly — behind City is how badly his squad have been affected by injury and covid.
In the heat of conceding a late equaliser to Brighton, Tuchel declared it was ‘stupid’ to think that Chelsea could win the title due to their growing absentees dispute naming bench worth around £280million.
In fact, over the last two summer transfer windows, no Big Six side has spent as much as Chelsea with more than £325m.
Reece James is the latest to be sidelined after limping off early with a hamstring injury against Brighton, joining Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Thiago Silva and Andreas Christensen on the injury list. Tuchel admitted he brought N’Golo Kante back early from his injury.
Timo Werner remains out with Covid-19 while Romelu Lukaku, Matteo Kovacic and Calum Hudson-Odoi have only just returned following positive tests.
‘The huge difference at this very moment is the situation with injuries and Covid,’ said Tuchel.
‘I am absolutely convinced that if we are in the same place without injuries and having key players not out for weeks and being hit by Covid so hard at the same time, I think we would have more points and could still be in the back of them.
With the aim of Winning 2021/2022 EPL while competing in FA Cup, Carling CUP and UEFA Champions League, Chelsea will be hoping the next six fixtures can play a pivotal part in their season.
