At 41 points is Chelsea along with Liverpool who lost yesterday in Leicester and so the London Blues have the opportunity to sit alone in 2nd place and maintain the +6 from the unstoppable Manchester City. Unless, of course, anything good happens a few miles west of Stamford Bridge, where City play Brentford.
Somewhere it seemed that Chelsea had broken away, conceding a draw at home to Everton and then leaving Wolverhampton 0-0, but in this most difficult game at Villa Park against Aston Villa they got a great victory with 1-3 despite having found back in the score.
Tonight I expect him to reach another victory as he always does against Brighton who got the three points they wanted after 11 games welcoming Brentford. I expect to see the well-known Chelsea at home with a fast pace that causes several phases in front of the opponent's home, forcing the opponent to concede several corners. In the relevant table he is in third place behind City and Liverpool and generally wins a lot at home. In the previous two on this field he did not exceed 10 corners as usual and I am waiting for this to be corrected.
Thomas Tuchel's team will welcome Liverpool with the start of the new year and a game like today with Brighton wants to be a good training session in view of the big match. I do not know if he will be able to win but I believe that the match will be an aggressive monologue and I will bet on 1.78 of Chelsea's 6,5 over corner.
