The Stamford Bridge team is already eleven points behind Liverpool, is fourteenth and has a negative goal difference.If questions are already growing as to whether it is wise to spend so much money again in the summer and continue with large-scale changes, now we can only do so even more. Meanwhile, the decisions of both Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia to move to Chelsea instead of Liverpool don’t seem so wise so far.The Reds, on the other hand, look to continue their start to the new season, in which they have won six out of seven matches.

However, if they play arrogant football and try to win the match against Arsenal, the Gunners will destroy them.“If they stay calm and try to score on the counterattack they might have a chance, but I can’t imagine that will happen because they didn’t play like that under Ange Postecoglou.”However, after the match, Merson had to change his attitude. In his Premier League column for Sky Sports, he wrote: “I thought the first 35 minutes against Arsenal were quite disappointing for Spurs.” I thought it was no different from watching Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho’s Spurs. If Gabriel Jesus makes it 2-0, then that’s a whole different story. But he absolutely lacks a guardian.“What I liked about Tottenham after that was they continued to play the way they wanted and I was very impressed with them. I thought Arsenal would win easily. But if Spurs had gone from 1-0 to 2-1, they would normally have gone down and been beaten. Credit where credit is due. I thought they were excellent and now I see them in the top four.”Liverpool.com says: Spurs have started the season well, but Liverpool can really make a statement by beating them at home, just like last year. But match by match: Liverpool, unlike Tottenham, are in the Carabao Cup this midweek.
