MADRID, 19 (EUROPA PRESS)
Chelsea defends its leadership this weekend on matchday 12 of the Premier, in which it visits a Leicester in the middle of the table that needs to start adding to not run out of goals, in the same way as an Everton that plays at the home of the Manchester City.
After the national team break, English football begins its end-of-year marathon with a more open fight than expected. Chelsea, the European champion, is committed to winning the Premier League this year and is leading with 26 points, three more than City and a Wets Ham that remains strong for another year and is visiting Wolves.
The ‘blues’ will have a difficult duel at the home of a Leicester that, with 15 points, cannot neglect the European zone much more. Equalized to the ‘Foxes’ is Everton, in the same way pending to be able to fight for the noble zone this course. Guardiola’s City will have the casualties of Kevin De Bruyne, positive for coronavirus, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden. The ‘Top 4’ is closed by a Liverpool that will be measured with Arsenal, fifth.
Manchester United have the most doubts in the upper zone, with doubts about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ability to have a good year. The ‘red devils’ have a good option against Watford to retake the Premier with victory and take advantage of that duel between ‘reds’ and ‘gunners’. In addition, Antonio Conte’s Tottenham will seek their first win against a more outstanding Leeds this year from the lower zone.
