The Bluebirds are in 18th position, two points behind 17th, with a game in hand. In the last round, Cardiff finally managed to break their three-match losing streak and move closer to Burnley in the standings. The home match against West Ham began for the hosts with a quick goal, in the fourth minute, Junior Hoylett played well at the near post and left no chance for the Hammers goalkeeper – 1:0. The next 40 minutes turned out to be quite boring and the teams did not create any scoring chances before the break. More fun for the hosts began the second half. Cardiff players actively started the second half of the match and doubled the score in the 52nd minute, Victor Camarasa collided with the goalkeeper of the guests, but still sent the ball into the opponent’s goal – 2:0. The hosts felt the advantage and before the end of the game could well count on another goal scored. Omar Nyasse had a great chance to hit the opponent’s goal, the Senegalese defender ran off to the counterattack and struck a good shot at the goal of Lukas Fabianski, but this time the West Ham goalkeeper managed to react. The result is 2-0, the Bluebirds won, and if they manage to repeat a similar result in the Cardiff-Chelsea match, they can count on leaving the relegation zone. Chelsea Maurizio Sarri’s men are out of the Champions League zone. The London team is three points behind the fourth place, but the current game of the Blues does not inspire hope for their fans. Perfectly demonstrates the above and the last match of the capital team, in which the “pensioners” went to Everton. The guests started the game briskly and almost opened the scoring in the first minutes of the match, Eden Hazard had a great chance to score a goal, the Belgian moved from the flank and struck into the far corner, but the post rescued the hosts. The Chelsea players continued to press, with little or no retaliatory pressure from the opposition. Aggression from Everton began to show after the break. The hosts did not waste their chances and scored three minutes after the restart of the game, Richarlison got ahead of the Chelsea defenders and successfully played on rebounds, opening the scoring in the 49th minute. Very soon, the Londoners could answer Everton and equalize, Gonzalo Higuain had a good chance to score, the Argentinean punched in one touch, but Jordan Pickford was in place and pulled the ball out in a great jump. Despite Chelsea’s scoring chances, with each episode, their opponent became closer to a goal scored. Gylfi Sigurdsson managed to score for the second time and put an end to the match, the Icelander took the penalty kick – Kepa took the first blow, but the goalkeeper could not cope with finishing. The result – 2:0, the “blue” lost and allowed Arsenal to increase their lead in the standings. The “aristocrats” will be able to regain the fourth position and impose a fight on Arsenal if they take three points in the Cardiff-Chelsea match.
