This Monday, the 19th day of the Premier League continues with two tempting posters. Fourth in the Premier League, Chelsea could once again become Liverpool’s runner-up if they succeed. The Blues, however, had a complicated evening on the pitch of promoted Ipswich Town. Conceding an early goal from Liam Delap from the penalty spot (12th), the Londoners then saw Joao Félix’s goal refused (24th). Returning from the locker room, Liam Delap did a lot of work on the left of the area before victoriously serving Omari Hutchinson (53rd). With this 2-0 victory, Ipswich Town moved up to 18th place and came within one point of Wolverhampton, the first non-relegation team. For Chelsea, it is more complicated since the Blues are relegated ten points behind leader Liverpool who have one game less.

At the same time, a match between outsiders in the European places was being played between Aston Villa and Brighton. It started well for the Seagulls when Joao Pedro found Simon Adingra between the lines. With a sublime curling shot, the Ivorian finished on the right of the goal (12th). Nothing to worry about Aston Villa who were going to come back. Before the break, Ollie Watkins equalized from the penalty spot (36th). The English striker also drove home the point by delivering an offering for Morgan Rogers after returning from the locker room (47th). But Brighton was not going to give up and Joao Pedro found Tariq Lamptey who would equalize (81st). With this 2-2 draw, Aston Villa remains ninth and Brighton are in tenth place.
