It seems that Carlo Ancelotti has put together a very serious team that can conquer previously unseen peaks in the new season. In the starting 3 matches of the championship, Everton won 3 wins. Defeated: Tottenham, West Bromwich and Crystal Palace. After these 3 games, the Blues have the following difference between goals scored and conceded, that’s 8 and 3, respectively. This is one of the best starting points in the history of the club. Today the team is in the 1-st place in the standings. Everton has already played 2 matches in the League Cup. The rivals were Salford City (3:0) and Fleetwood Town (5:2). In the last draw of the same tournament the toffee reached the quarter-finals, where they were defeated on penalties by Leicester. There are no changes in the infirmary compared to the last tour.
Gent had a very high level last season. At the time of the stoppage of the championship, the buffaloes were on the second line in the table, having received the right to play in the qualification of the Champions League. However, at the start of the new season, the club’s management arranged a coaching leapfrog, which made a serious imbalance with the team’s game, but the Buffaloes passed the first rival in the Champions League. There were no serious problems with Vienna Rapid. Gent scored twice and conceded only once in response. The home game with Dynamo was a failure. In the first half of the meeting the Belgian vice-champion still resisted, but remaining in the minority completely fell apart, losing 1:2 and seriously complicated the task. In the Belgian championship, “Gent” also has serious problems. After seven rounds it is 15th in the table and is only three points ahead of the relegation zone.
