The midweek Premier League match schedule is expected to stir things up in the title race, as the leading clubs are bound to take a decisive step on Tuesday evening. Liverpool, the front runners, will crowd up at Anfield with Lille for the arrival of a match that has been more than super hyped, while, on the other hand, Manchester City will go to Brentford, a relatively easy opponent. However, the game might not be a foregone conclusion for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Liverpool’s match with Lille isn’t mere domestic business; it also has ramifications for their European competition. The Gang will need to maintain their pretty impressive home record and enlarge their lead at the table. Manager Jurgen Klopp seems to be a man of his word as he is likely to field a strong lineup, with the goal-scorer Mohamed Salah ahead of the attack.
At the same time Manchester City is going to play on the ground of the troubled team Brentford, which has surprised everyone by the apparent ease in overturning the odds when they play against teams from one of the top-six teams. The Hornets are strong opponents. They have taken the big fish this season-already and are eager to add the reigning champions to the list. Nevertheless, Pep Guardiola’s team cannot afford any slip while they are looking to catch Liverpool and keep the race going.
In another corner of London, Arsenal plays against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a North London derby, which may have dramatic consequences for the top-four teams. The Gunners, tempted by their recent form, plan to secure their position in the Champions League spots because of their prospective win in the match, whereas Spurs want to reduce their gap with The Gunners.
Concerning the struggle for the European places, Manchester United takes on Brighton & Hove Albion in what is expected to be an awesome game due to its tactical character, thus appealing to the playing minds. The Red Devils have shown a kind of loose shape this season but all in all, they still may reach a top-four finish. Besides, Brighton’s innovative manager, Wayne Rooney, will instruct his boys in a way no pushovers can be created, and if the possible incident occurs, the situation will happen at Old Trafford, Manchester.
As the season enters its critical final part, every point becomes critical in the competition for the trophy and survival. The Tuesday fixtures might make a big difference in the status of the Premier League table. As a result, supporters can anticipate an action-packed football night and perhaps one that marks the season across the whole country.
