Liverpool’s Premier League GW 8 clash with Chelsea has been postponed due to the lack of police resources ahead of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral (September 19). Manchester City’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, scheduled for Saturday (September 17) afternoon, is set to go ahead as planned.
If City win their matchday eight fixture, they would have a seven-point lead over the sixth-placed Blues, while the seventh-placed Reds would be trailing them by eight points. When asked whether or not the postponement would help Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the Premier League race, Campbell told Football Insider:

Manchester City have been a class above Chelsea and Liverpool this season
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have endured a difficult start to the 2022-23 Premier League campaign. They have thus far only won two of their six matches, drawing thrice and losing once. Most of their star players have underperformed, including the ever-reliable Mohamed Salah.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have picked up three wins in their six Premier League fixtures, losing twice and drawing once. Thomas Tuchel has been dismissed as head coach, with Graham Potter coming in to replace him. While morale could be higher following a managerial switch, it could take time for the Stamford Bridge unit to bounce back and play up to their potential.
Second-placed Manchester City are yet to taste defeat in the Premier League, winning four of their six matches, drawing the other two. They sit in second place with 14 points, trailing league leaders Arsenal by a solitary point. However, they could very well turn it around when they travel to the Emirates Stadium for their Premier League clash on October 19.
