On August 6, the match of the first round of the English Premier League will take place, in which Liverpool Everton will play Chelsea at home. The forecast for this match is given by Roman Pavlyuchenko, a well-known striker of Tottenham and the Russian national team in the past.
It will always be interesting to see how Chelsea legend Frank Lampard will face the Blues as Everton's head coach. Last season, the Toffees were on the verge of failure, fighting to keep their registration in the Premier League, but still managed to successfully solve the tasks set. In the new season, of course, the bar will be raised by the club's management, so the 17th place will not help Lampard to keep his post in any way.
Chelsea had problems last season, first of all in the club's management – the British authorities forced Russian businessman Roman Abramovich to sell the club, while putting sticks in the wheels, which was why there was a threat of bankruptcy of the "pensioners", but it still worked out. The results of Thomas Tuchel's team at the end of the season also declined, but still managed to keep third place in the standings.
Both teams played a lot of test matches in the off-season, where very unstable results were shown. It is clear that not everything is perfectly debugged in both teams so far. The lineups of the teams have been updated somewhat, so the coaches need to try to find the optimal combination for stable performances as soon as possible. Roman Pavlyuchenko believes that Chelsea, which has a more impressive personnel potential, will be able to win in Liverpool, but at the same time does not expect any special performance, much less a scoring extravaganza.
