The Colombian Luis Díaz returns to action in the Premier League this weekend and he will do it in style with a real great game against Chelsea, so here we tell you details so that you can schedule it and not miss this game of the eighth day of English football.
Liverpool, leader of the Premier League, will face Chelsea (4th) on Matchday 8 on Sunday, the first big test for the ‘Reds’ in a crucial stretch of the season in all competitions.
With 18 points, the men coached by the Dutchman Arne Slot went into the national team break as the sole leaders, with one more unit than Manchester City (2nd) and Arsenal (3rd). Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea dropped two points on matchday 7 against Nottingham Forest, and is 4th with 14.
Forest is precisely the only spoilsport in Liverpool’s almost perfect start to the season, with 9 wins in 10 games in all competitions.
“If you judge our team for just one week, it’s not fair. You have to judge the team after this series of games, not three, but six, seven or eight, then we will know better how we are,” Slot said this Friday.
On Sunday, Cole Palmer and company’s ‘Blues’ visit Anfield, the toughest challenge for Jurgen Klopp’s successor since he took over.
With the permission of a convalescent Manchester United, to which the ‘Reds’ dealt a resounding 3-0 at Old Trafford on the third matchday, the ‘Blues’ are one of the most fearsome teams this season in the ‘Big 6’, and will serve to measure the potential of a Liverpool that will not be able to count on the Brazilian Alisson Becker in goal, injured until at least mid-November.
