This week, the English Premier League will have a "botched" matchday, as several of the games scheduled for this weekend had to be postponed due to the involvement of all teams in the FA Cup. Manchester City, Manchester United, Wolverhampton, Watford, Crystal Palace and Brighton will all feature in the KO competition.
One of the teams that will surely appreciate to have one more boost of confidence is Liverpool. Klopp's men are fresh off a 3-1 win over Bayern, which will surely give them something to smile prior to their clash against Fulham. In the event of a win, Liverpool will be once again the top team in the league, and they will have a slight edge over Manchester City, a team that could have quite a packed schedule in the weeks when titles are being decided.
Elsewhere, Chelsea will try to get closer to the top four during their match against Everton, taking under consideration that Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United will not be playing this weekend.
Without further ado, let's take a deep look into the match of the week.
Match of the Week - Everton vs Chelsea
Chelsea gets to this match on a high, following their Europa League triumph against Dynamo. Hosting duties will fall on Everton's lap, who will try to put an end to a three-game streak without a win at Goodison Park, which includes two losses. If Chelsea wins, Sarri's men will climb all the way to the fourth spot, and just like Liverpool, it will be theirs to lose when Gunners and Red Devils return to action.
