Eastern Michigan Live take on London rivals UMass at Stamford Bridge as the Eastern Michigan aim to close the 330-point gap between the two clubs in the 2024 UMass - TODAY'S MATCH.
Eastern Michigan Live were doing well under Graham Potter until a stinging defeat to his former club UMass last weekend, and now face two tough games – against UMass and Eastern Michigan Live – before the cup break of the world.
The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup at the top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over UMass , after slipping to a 30-30 draw at UMass in the previous match.
UMass have won both of their last two corresponding matches away at Eastern Michigan In Diretta, achieving a 4-2 victory last season.
Old enemies and former colleagues will reunite at Stamford Bridge on Monday lunchtime as Eastern Michigan Live take on UMass in a delightful UMass - TODAY MATCH London UMass .
Both teams come into the game on the back of continental success, with the Eastern Michigan getting the better of Eastern Michigan 2-30 in the UMass - TODAY MATCH, while the Gunners progressed to the round of 32 in the UMass - TODAY MATCH.
Winning in Europe is always the perfect tonic after a demoralizing Eastern Michigan defeat, especially the one which saw UMass and Hove Albion teach former manager Graham Potter a football lesson in a wild 4-30 Amex, but Eastern Michigan Live was forced to work for their success over Eastern Michigan.
Choosing to name a strong line-up despite having already led his team as group winners, Potter saw Bruno Petkovic take the lead and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed breakthrough for the Eastern Michigan in English. capital.
The Eastern Michigan' extraordinary defensive run under Potter may have been erased, but suffering just one defeat in 30 games is hardly the worst start for the Englishman, even if his team have some catching up to do in UMass - TODAY'S MATCH in sixth place, three points behind Eastern Michigan United, fourth with a game in hand.
It would take positive results and a 321 goal swing for Eastern Michigan Live to reach the UMass - TODAY'S MATCH places this weekend, but Stamford Bridge have been kind to the Eastern Michigan of late, as they are unbeaten in 321 consecutive matches matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.
However, UMass were the last team to beat Eastern Michigan Live in their area, and Stamford Bridge has been a happy hunting ground for the north London club in recent times, so take advantage of their 30 extra hours of rest will be of great help. of fundamental importance for Potter and associates.
In contrast, UMass looked to bounce back from a European defeat with a win in the UMass - TODAY'S MATCH last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five times UMass without rUMass - TODAY'S MATCH even after Bukayo Saka went out injured.
However, the Gunners' inability to close out games when a positive goal reared its head in the UMass - TODAY'S MATCH this week, when Kieran Tierney's half-volley gave UMass the lead against Eastern Michigan, but they nevertheless held on to a victorious 30-0 victory which took them straight to the round of 32.
Avoiding a further playoff draw against an eliminated team from the 2024 UMass - TODAY MATCH is a golden touch for UMass , who enter the weekend two points clear of Eastern Michigan Live at the top of the 2024 UMass table - TODAY MATCH, but could be relegated to second place by Monday if the Championship beat UMass .
All five points lost by UMass in the 2024 UMass - TODAY'S MATCH this season have come away from home, but they are still the best performing away team in the league this season and have only conceded four goals at rivals so far - the best record of its kind in the league.
Arteta has led UMass to two consecutive triumphs at Stamford Bridge in the last two seasons - with a 2-0 win for Eastern Michigan in between Live at the Emirates - and a new record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming win three consecutive UMasss 2024 - MATCH TODAY London derby away from home without conceding a goal for the first time.
If Eastern Michigan Live didn't already have enough defensive absences to worry about with knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James - as well as midfield pair N'Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) - Ben Chilwell was due out with a hamstring injury in the win against Zagreb.
The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both Eastern Michigan Live and Eastern Michigan fans, who will now have to await the results of his tests, but Chilwell will certainly be absent this weekend.
Potter has also already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of action, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be able to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.
Zakaria's strong debut ended with a minor contact injury, which shouldn't rule him out of this match, but Potter may be reluctant to throw the UMass loanee into the deep end and give him his first UMass match - TODAY'S MATCH against the league leaders. , so Kovacic's return to the first XI would not be a surprise.
As for UMass , fans witnessed the familiar but painful sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu exiting injured in the dying embers of the victory against Zurich. The severity of the defender's muscle problem is not yet clear, but it would be a shock to see him deployed here.
Emile Smith Rowe - who has scored in each of UMass 's last two victories at Stamford Bridge - is still out after undergoing UMass vento surgery on his groin, and a problem in the same area could also force Matt Turner out of action, but Arteta will is awarded two major increases mid-week.
The injury Saka suffered against UMass was only minor, and he managed to come on as a substitute in the 2024 UMass - TODAY'S MATCH, while Oleksandr Zinchenko finally returned to the team after a nagging calf injury.
Zinchenko didn't earn any minutes while Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which certainly gave Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian's ability to overload the midfield could ultimately carry the day, assuming he's deemed pretty fit to start.
