CCTV broadcast a Premier League game live, Arsenal won again after a week, Chelsea hit the top four

The 11th round of the Premier League will be contested on the weekend. Arsenal, the top team, challenges the dark horse away from home, and has another opportunity to expand its lead. Chelsea, who is in the same city, will face the vice squad leader, and is expected to hit the top four. CCTV will broadcast a Premier League match live, fans don’t miss it.

Earlier, Chelsea rotated half of its main players and was unable to defeat Karabakh, who was participating in the Champions League for the second time. Unfortunately, they received a draw and could only be ranked 12th. Among the six participating teams in the Premier League, Chelsea had the lowest Champions League ranking and was the only Premier League team that could not win this round. Many voices believe that Maresca is being conservative again. After all, the opponents in the next league are not strong. There is no need not to send the main players in the Champions League. The top eight are more important. They will face Barcelona in the next game.

At the weekend, Chelsea will sit at home and face the Wolves, who are at the bottom of the standings. Their opponents are low-ranked. After losing core players such as Cunha and Nouri in the summer, their strength has been greatly weakened. Chelsea is fully capable of defeating their opponents. The only thing to worry about is that a week ago, the two teams met in the League Cup. Chelsea, who fielded a substitute lineup, barely eliminated their opponent with Gittens' last-minute goal. Delap, who received a red card at the time, has ended his suspension and can come back to face Wolves again.

This time, Chelsea will not rotate the lineup. Maybe the game a week ago left a shadow on Maresca, so they chose to "save their strength" in the Champions League and concentrate on facing the Wolves. If Chelsea successfully takes all three points, they have a good chance of breaking into the top four of the Premier League again. Since there is a draw in the Champions League, there is no reason not to win in the league.

Arsenal, the top team, will go to an away game to challenge Sunderland. Like Chelsea, the start time of this game is not friendly to domestic fans. Due to the implementation of winter time, Arsenal's game is scheduled for 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, and Chelsea's game is later, scheduled for 4 a.m. on the same day.

Currently, among the five major European leagues, the most successful team, apart from Bayern Munich, which has won all competitions, is Arsenal. There should have been Real Madrid, but after losing to Liverpool, they were not so happy. Arsenal has won 10 consecutive victories in all competitions. More importantly, they have only conceded one goal in these 10 games. In a sense, it is more precious than Bayern's 16 consecutive victories. Interestingly, half a month later in the Champions League, Arsenal and Bayern met to decide who was the king of kings.

Sunderland currently ranks fourth in the Premier League, behind the three giants Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. It is generally believed that Sunderland does not need to worry about relegation. For two consecutive seasons, the story of three newly promoted teams being promoted and relegated together can come to an end.

Of course, Sunderland's ranking is higher, which is related to the schedule. In the 10 rounds of the Premier League, they only met the two giants Manchester United and Chelsea. Their victory over Chelsea is considered one of their masterpieces. As soon as they made their League Cup appearance, they were eliminated by the third-tier Huddersfield. In the next five opponents, Sunderland will face the three giants Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Whether the dark horse is a dark horse or not will be revealed soon.

Interestingly, the well-known data analysis website Squawka has compiled a standings list with the removal of VAR controversial penalties. Arsenal still ranks first, while Sunderland has risen to second place. Manchester United is one of the few teams whose ranking has not changed. Does this mean that Sunderland has encountered more unfavorable penalties?

Just now, Eze's goal against his old club Crystal Palace was selected as Arsenal's best goal of October. The young player Dauman, who played for Arsenal at 15 years and 308 days, surpassed Dortmund's Moukoko and Barcelona's talented teenager Yamar to become the youngest player to appear in the history of the Champions League.

Arsenal's official website specifically pointed out that if Dauman can start before the quarterfinals of this season, he can break Yamal's record as the youngest starter in the Champions League. If he scores before February 2027, he can break Fati's record as the youngest player in the Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that in the last round of the league, Arsenal expanded its lead from 4 points to 6 points. There is a good chance that Arsenal will do it again after a week. If the following battle between Manchester City and Liverpool ends in a draw, and Bournemouth is unable to defeat Aston Villa, as long as Arsenal defeats Sunderland, they can expand their advantage by 2 points again, leading the second place by 8 points. Can the same story repeat itself?

This round, CCTV will broadcast a Premier League game live. Different from the previous weeks, this time it does not choose to broadcast the games of the giants. The reason may not be difficult to explain. None of the top six games in the Premier League will start during the traditional live broadcast time period. At 10 o'clock on Sunday night, CCTV broadcast live the match between Crystal Palace and Brighton at home, scheduled to be broadcast on the CCTV5+ channel. The two teams are only 1 point apart in points and 1 place in the rankings. It is a balanced battle between mid-table teams.
