After a stellar season, Liverpool has managed to secure the Premier League for the first time since the competition was renamed. They were dominant throughout the season and at one point it seemed as though they wouldn’t register a loss. All 3 sections of the team were strong this season. Liverpool’s last game left a lot to be desired though, as they lost to Arsenal 2-1. They also experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Manchester City, which was the last top 6 match they had.
Chelsea has had an unpredictable season. They won 3 of their last 5 games but also registered surprising losses against Sheffield and West Ham. Pulisic has maintained a terrific level of form, especially recently. A huge bonus is the fact that Lampard and Co. won their last 2 matches against the top 6 and they were back to back. This makes the coming match even more unpredictable.
