London club matches could change venues

After the suspension of Premier League matchday 7 due to the unfortunate death of Queen Elizabeth II, doubts about the reactivation of the competition began to emerge after the Anfield club assured that their Champions League clash against Ajax will take place this coming Tuesday, suggesting that the Reds will play their home league game against Chelsea but with some last minute changes.

According to information circulating on various Twitter accounts, police officers in England are expected to be redeployed at short notice to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, meaning that Chelsea vs Liverpool will have to be moved, with the Blues leaving their home ground of Stamford Bridge and travelling to their opponents' home ground of Anfield.

This is nothing more than speculation on social media at the moment, as for this decision to be made regarding London clubs travelling to other stadiums and playing their football as visitors and not as home, a mutual agreement has to be reached, which looks complicated as Tottenham, Brentford and Chelsea will want to follow the itinerary as set out by the league.

If these matches are played in other stadiums, the team that could benefit the most from all this is Liverpool, as there is no better scenario for Jürgen Klopp and his players than to get back to winning ways against a rival that is also wounded and lacking in good results, differentiated by the adaptation process that the Blues are currently going through with their new manager, Graham Potter.

<strong>Where the match would be played</strong>

Although the league in England is just taking its first steps in this 2022-2023 campaign, Chelsea's home record shows that Stamford Bridge is one of their best weapons as they have not lost in six games, with one draw and two wins so far, the same results that the Reds have at Anfield, the stadium where this match could possibly take place.
