6:59pm, 21 November 2025【Football】

The national team’s competition has come to an end, and the 12th round of the Premier League will be staged as scheduled on the weekend. There are a total of 7 games on the first day. New coach Edwards makes his debut and challenges the dark horse team of the championship. Liverpool has finished its devilish schedule and can start to grab points. CCTV will broadcast a game live, fans don’t miss it.

At present, the competition in the Premier League is mainly concentrated in the Champions League. Starting from third-placed Chelsea and ending with ninth-placed Bournemouth, there is only a 2-point gap. Among these teams, the victory or defeat of any game will bring about changes in the ranking. Only three points can stabilize the position and strive to catch up with the top two.

Earlier, after Vitor Pereira left the team, the Wolves finally announced a new coach. Rob Edwards officially announced that he had joined and signed a three-and-a-half-year contract. Edwards, who was born in the Aston Villa youth academy, has been associated with Wolves four times since his playing days. He played for Wolves for four seasons and made a total of 111 appearances. His best result was fifth in the British Championship. Edwards' coaching career started with the Wolves' U18 youth team, and this is the third time he has returned to coach the Wolves.

Everyone may have known the name Edwards since Luton's success in the Premier League two years ago. At that time, Luton did not even have a qualified Premier League home court and had to quickly undergo transformation. Edwards left Luton a few months ago to join Middlesbrough, currently ranked second in the Championship and expected to return to the Premier League.

It is reported that Wolves paid 3 million in compensation to Middlesbrough in order for Edwards to return to his home team. He faced last season's FA Cup champion Crystal Palace in his first appearance. Although not a traditional giant, it is a dark horse this season. It has defeated Liverpool three times. You might as well pay attention to whether Wolves, who have only 2 points in 11 games, can usher in a rebound.

Chelsea's game is scheduled for the morning game and they will challenge Burnley away from home. Burnley only has 10 points, which is the same as West Ham in the relegation zone. The relegation situation is very serious. In the past 20 years, Chelsea has only lost one game against Burnley, and the results were one-sided. Chelsea, which has won 7 of the past 9 games in all competitions, has a good opportunity to take all three points. It should be noted that next week, Chelsea will face successive challenges from Barcelona and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Will Maresca, who has put away its main force in the Champions League and tied with Karabakh, have any reservations?

On the first day of the game, Manchester City's away challenge to Newcastle was the latest to start, and was scheduled to be played in the early morning. Similarly, in the past 20 years, Manchester City's performance against Newcastle has been quite good. They have only lost twice in the League Cup and only once in the league. Half a year ago, Malmouche scored a hat-trick and defeated the opponent with four goals. Manchester City is currently ranked second. The next three Premier League opponents are Leeds United, Fulham and Crystal Palace. If they want to hit the championship, starting from Newcastle, they must strive for more three-pointers. Whether it is the national team or the club, Haaland, who can't stop scoring goals, is still the most reliable guarantee.

Liverpool vs. Nottingham Forest at home will be played at 11 o'clock on Saturday night. It is scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV5 channel. It is also the only game broadcast live on CCTV this week. Today's Liverpool seems to be back after defeating the hot Aston Villa and Real Madrid in succession. However, it seems that the downturn is not over yet after a disastrous defeat by Manchester City in the last round. There is constant controversy in the eyes of fans as to whether Slott "eats" Klopp's bonus.

The defeat of Leeds United in the last round of the Premier League was the first league win for Nottingham Forest's two new coaches, including Postkoglu. Dyche has a long way to go to avoid relegation. On the other hand, Liverpool, fortunately, is about to embark on an easy journey after experiencing a devilish schedule. In the next two weeks, they faced PSV, West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds United respectively, and none of them seemed to be strong opponents. Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, grabbing points is Slott's top priority. Ekitic, who just scored his first goal for the national team, is full of confidence and believes that Liverpool can get back on track soon.

For teams that compete on multiple fronts, they will start an intensive schedule of double matches every week. In the next four weeks before Christmas, the top eight of the Champions League, Premier League, Champions League and League Cup will be arranged in mid-week. The Premier League will also usher in its first mid-week match day. Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, the top three teams in the league, will participate in all competitions. It can be said that only those who can work hard will win the championship.
