Football. ua announces the most intriguing fights of this week.

This week we will witness first-class confrontations within the English League Cup, the Premier League of this country and the Italian Serie A.

Arsenal - Liverpool Thursday, January 20, 21:45. Emirates, London (England) The first match of these teams in the semi-final of the English League Cup at Anfield (0:0) did not provide us with any information about the current balance of power in this pair.. Arsenal ruined their game by sending off Xhaka in the middle of the first half, as a result of which it seemed that they signed their own death warrant, but the attacking power of Jurgen Klopp's team was not enough to break through the opponents' defense. Liverpool bounced back in terms of scoring at Brentford last weekend (3-0), but comparing the "

In fact, Mikel Arteta's men are now in a great position to play at home, and the suspended Xhaka is certainly not a key player in the London club's current roster.. The only problem is that the staffing situation inside Arsenal has been seriously complicated by COVID-19, as a result of which the North London derby at the weekend had to be forgotten. Tottenham did not like it at all, but the “gunners” simply had no one to play with. In fact, Arsenal are now on a three-match streak without a win, which has every chance of an unsuccessful continuation..

Pinnacle thinks Liverpool are the favorites. The odds for the Reds to win is 2.34, the probability of a draw is estimated at 3.57, and the success of Arsenal is 3.07.

Chelsea - Tottenham Sunday, January 23, 18:30. Stamford Bridge, London (England) Last weekend's defeat to Manchester City threatens London's Chelsea with big problems in the title race, if Thomas Tuchel's team, of course, leaves at least some hope of competing for gold medals this season. The Blues have not won their last three matches in the Premier League, and with such a result, they have absolutely no reason to even talk about a place in the top three teams in the country.. Another thing is that the pursuers also allow misfires, so the “pensioners” can afford to show weaknesses without falling even further down the tournament ladder..

In the confrontation against Tottenham, Chelsea also has excellent experience and, moreover, quite recent in terms of the statute of limitations - the teams met in the semi-finals of the English League Cup, and the Blues celebrated two victories at once over the team of their former mentor. It is obvious that Antonio Conte will want to take revenge for these failures, and the fear of losing an unbeaten streak in the championship will further stimulate his team to go forward.. Spurs have a lot of matches in reserve, so they can easily catch up and overtake the same Chelsea if they win all of them. This makes the upcoming game a potential "

Pinnacle is giving the lead to Chelsea in this match. The Blues are 1.71 to win, Tottenham are 4.73 to win and 4.03 to draw..

Milan - Juventus Sunday, January 23, 21:45. San Siro, Milan (Italy) Massimiliano Allegri's wards this season can surprise at any moment with their performance both in a negative and in a positive way. Sometimes this happens right in the middle of a single match, as happened not so long ago at the Stadio Olimpico, where the “zebras” literally gnawed out a strong-willed victory (4:3). However, there are matches such as against Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup, which end with ridiculous mistakes in the last seconds of overtime, and possible trophies are simply left out..

In the championship, at the moment, Turintsy have been going undefeated for eight games, but their calendar for this period was sufficiently discharged in order to have time to take a breath even after the most difficult fights. The meeting at the San Siro will be a big test for both the " Milan may want to overtake the Serpents at one point, but a series of bad results, like the one that happened in mid-December last year, do not allow this.

Pinnacle believes that Milan is the favorite of the confrontation. The odds for the Rossoneri to win is 2.64, the probability of a draw is estimated at 3.26, and the success of Juventus is 2.84.
