Premier League's tallest players, featuring Chelsea youngster, Aston Villa midfielder, and Spurs goalkeeper
The Premier League is renowned for its physicality and athleticism, is also home to some of the tallest footballers in the world. Here are the top 10 tallest players in the EPL.
Since losing 1-2 away to Liverpool in the English Premier League, Chelsea have managed just two wins in four games since then, losing one and playing a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
However, FC Noah have been on a rollercoaster, losing just once (1-0 to Rapid Wien) and winning four in their last five games across all competitions.
The Armenian side have scored an incredible 14 goals in the process, while their backline has been bridged just twice.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have managed 8 goals but the Blues are yet to keep a clean sheet in their last five games, conceding as many goals as they’ve scored (8).
The Chelsea vs FC Noah promises to be an interesting tie between the free-scoring Armenians led by topscorer Goncalo Gregorio with 6 goals and Chelsea’s error-prone backline conceding goals for fun.
Team News and Predicted Lineup
Chelsea will be without star man Cole Palmer, who suffered a knee injury in their last game and has also not been registered for the Blues campaign in the Conference League.
Enzo Maresca has favoured playing a strong second-string Chelsea team in this competition to make use of their incredible squad depth. However, FC Noah is expected to field their strongest 11 if they want to get anything from this game.
