1. Chelsea (3-4-2-1)

Christian Pulisic, Jose Sa — Pulisic placed his goal well /GettyImages

GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga – 7/10 – Kepa did well to make some remarkable saves during the game and above all he had a clean sheet again to his credit. Though he must not forget to give credit to the shining sun in the stadium too.

CB: Trevoh Chalobah – 7/10 – He was superb during the game as defended well and also provided good attacking returns for the blues. also maintained a clean sheet at the end of 90 minutes.

CB: Kalidou Koulibaly – 7/10 – Impressive at the defense as he made some blocks against the wolves attack and also maintained a clean sheet.

CB: Marc Cucurella – 6/10 – Struggled to contain ever-penetrating Adama Traore but did well not to concede.

RM: Cesar Azpilicueta – 8/10 – He was absolutely superb in the game being everywhere all through the game. Did amazingly defensively and also made couple of nice crosses. It was quite unfortunate that the skipper was unable to have a goal or at least an assist in the game.

CM: Jorginho – 7/10 – He did well by retaining possession and also blended well in the midfield. His performance was commendable too.

CM: Ruben Loftus-Cheek – 6/10 – Got several chances of going forward but often times losses the ball to the opponent. He needs to step up his game in the midfield.

LM: Christian Pulisic – 8/10 – If only luck was on his side, he would have netted a brace or an hat-trick in the game but at least when chance presented itself, he netted a classic goal past Jose Sa.

AM: Conor Gallagher – 8/10 – He is yet another player who was everywhere on the pitch. Linked up perfectly with Kai Harvertz, Pulisic and Azplicueta.

AM: Mason Mount – 8/10 – Was excellent all through the game as he was involved in two goal and could have recorded his name on the scoresheet but luck wasn’t on his side.

ST: Kai Havertz – 6/10 – Not his best performance but he took the chance when the opportunity presented itself. He was at his best during the game.

SUB: Mateo Kovacic (66′ for Loftus-Cheek) – 7/10 – Coming in from the bench, he did well to have possession during some moments in the game.

SUB: Reece James (72′ for Pulisic) – 7/10 – He was a terror to the Wolves team. His introduction into the game caused a great shock to the opponent and he did made a good threat in the opponent’s camp.

SUB: Armando Broja (72′ for Mount) – 7/10 – The forward was introduced in the 72nd minute, made some good runs and later crowned his effort with a goal.

SUB: Carney Chukwuemeka (86′ for Gallagher) – N/A

SUB: Hakim Ziyech (86′ for Havertz) – N/A

Manager: Graham Potter – 8/10 – He was clinical in his formation and team selection that yielded the desired victory at Stamford Bridge. Even without some of his key players he was able to pick all three points. He made the right substitutions just when it was necessary. Great game for Graham Potter.

2. Wolves (4-2-3-1)

Matheus Nunes, Conor Gallagher — Matheus had a solid showing /GettyImages

GK: Jose Sa – 5/10 – Made a couple of nice saves in both halves of the game but his effort was not enough to deprive the host from scoring.

RB: Nelson Semedo – 4/10 – It was a bad day for Semedo who was nowhere to be found in the defense and was not also supportive upfront. A total blackout for the defender.

CB: Toti Gomes – 4/10 – He was superb in the defense but couldn’t hold unto possession.

CB: Max Kilman – 4/10 – He was the only defender looking all tensed and under pressure. Didn’t perform as he use to, quite a bad day for the defender.

LB: Jonny – 3/10 – He was saddled with the task of containing Aziplicueta and Gallaher which is quite impossible for the defender and he couldn’t get the desired help from his teammate.

DM: Matheus Nunes – 7/10 – His pace and dribbling skills were exquisite. He could have gotten a goal or an assist.

DM: Joao Moutinho – 5/10 – He did well defensively but has a limited mobility upfront leaving Matheus with lot of work to do in the midfield.

RM: Adama Traore – 5/10 – Though he find his way past Cucurella on several occasions, his finishing touhes didn’t yield the desired result.

AM: Daniel Podence – 3/10 – Perhaps he didn’t get the desired support from his teammates upfront to finish the ball as expected. Wasted quite a number of chances.

LM: Goncalo Guedes – 2/10 – It was a poor outing for the winger as he was no where to be found in terms of possession and contribution to the attacking line.

ST: Diego Costa – 3/10 – He tried to get involved in the first half without much impact. He was substituted in the second half and got an outstanding reception and ovation from the Chelsea supporters.

SUB: Joe Hodge (46′ for Guedes) – 6/10 – Hodge’s was brought in immediately after the halftime break and the young lad actually played better. It was indeed a splendid senior league outing for Hodge.

SUB: Hwang Hee-chan (56′ for Costa) – 3/10 – Didn’t do much. Just a single wasted chance.

SUB: Chem Campbell (72′ for Traore) – 5/10 – Campbell weakened Traore’s wing, as he did nothing much to cause havoc to the home team.

SUB: Rayan Ait-Nouri (72′ for Jonny) – 6/10 – Did well in the defense, one could wish he was introduced earlier.

Manager: Steve Davis – 4/10 – Did well to have done the substitution as at when needed. It was a tough game for the team and Steve Davis will be happy his boys did well but couldn’t a point at Stamford Bridge.

Player of the Match – Conor Gallagher

Chelsea 3-0 Wolves : 4 Things to learn

Graham Potter made clinical selections by resting key players ahead of their Champions league outing on Tuesday against AC Milan.
Playing Kai Harvertz as a false 9 actually did work for the manager and might consider that as an option in subsequent fixtures.
The victory is Chelsea’s third win in a row and their fifth win this season out of eight matches. The Blues currently sits 4th on the Premier League table awaiting Sunday matches.
The defeat is Wolves fifth defeat of the season having won only one game since the beginning of the season, as they currently sit in the relegation waters.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

90minsoccer

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.

Manchester United

L D L W L L
Manchester United have not been in their best performance in recent time. The red devils have only one win in their last six matches. They will be hoping to return to winning ways after the 3-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at Emirates Stadium.

In their away match at Emirates Stadium, Manchester United were outclassed by the Gunners, as the Red Devils managed 45% possession and 14 shot attempt with only 5 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue in 34th-minute after the visitors were 2-0 down.

While Arsenal on the other hand enjoyed 55% ball possession, had 14 shots with 7 on target. Two early goals from Nuno Tavares in the 3rd minute, and Bukayo Saka in the 32nd minute gave the gunners a comfortable lead. Bruno Fernandes failed to convert a spot-kick as Granit Xhaka sealed the victory for Arsenal in the 70th minute.

Manchester United’s recent performance has been worse than usual. They have conceded in all of their last 6 matches, amounting to 12 goals conceded in 6 matches. This is the kind of record every Chelsea fan will like to hear right now.

PRE-MATCH FACTS

The Red Devils have not lost any of their league matches against Chelsea in their last 8 matches. That is quite a long run between the two clubs without a loss.
However, despite their 8 matches unbeaten run against the Blues, they haven’t won against Chelsea in their last 3 premier league matches.
And lastly, Manchester United haven’t lost against Chelsea in their previous 7 league matches at home.

Chelsea

L W W W L W
Chelsea are heading into the match against Manchester United as the favorite contenders. The blues recorded a slim 1-0 victory against West Ham United in the Premier League fixture on Sunday

Chelsea who welcomed West Ham United enjoyed a 67% possession and 26 shots attempt with only 5 on target. Despite the large possession of the ball, the blue’s attack was blunt firing 21 shots off-target. Thanks to Christian Pulisic’s stoppage-time goal that secured the victory for the home team. West Ham United tried to get at least a point off the current world champions, managed 33% ball possession, and got 6 attempts with only 2 on target.

Looking at their last 6 premier league fixtures, Chelsea have won 4 and loss 2 scoring 15 goals. Remarkably, the blues scored in all of their last 6 premier league matches and conceded 9 goals.

PAST MEETINGS WITH MANCHESTER UNITED

In their previous meetings, Chelsea have not won against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the previous 8 league matches. Also, Chelsea have not been defeated in their last 5 away league matches

HEAD-TO-HEAD

This fixture is one of the biggest matches in the English Premier League. Looking at their head-to-head meetings in the Premier League stretching from the 2018/2019 season to date, both teams have met six times, Manchester United won 2 of these games while Chelsea won 1, and a record of 3 draws.

INJURY UPDATE: Chelsea

According to Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, only Ben Chilwell who suffered a Ruptured cruciate ligament, and will not be available for the trip to Old Trafford.

Prediction

Considering their recent performance, Manchester United will need a miracle to win all 3 points against this Chelsea side. I think the best the Red devils can do is to pick a point.
I’m tipping over 1.5 goals for this match.
