Premier League Schedule: Chelsea Hosted By Leeds, Manchester City Awaited By Newcastle United
JAKARTA - The third week of the 2022/2023 English Premier League will continue tonight. Chelsea and Manchester City will play away matches. Chelsea, who got one win and one draw in the previous two matches, will visit Leeds United at Elland Road Stadium on Sunday, August 21 at 20.00 WIB. The team nicknamed the Blues previously brought home three points in the first week after a narrow 1-0 win at home to Goodison Park, Everton's headquarters. However, they lost two points the following week when they hosted Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge. At that time the London derby ended with a strong 2-2. Thomas Tuchel's squad is currently still in eighth position in the standings. For that, tonight's victory will help them compete again in the top four. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be chasing their third victory when Newcastle wait for it at 22.30 WIB later.
Pep Guardiola's team has collected maximum points from the previous two matches. They won over West Ham in the first week, following the victory over Bournemouth in the second week. The trip to Newcastle's headquarters does not seem to be difficult for The Citizen. Moreover they have scored six goals so far and have not conceded a single goal.
