Arsenal will take on Brighton on August 31st in a battle to outshine each other. These two teams have played two matches each in the Premier League so far, where both teams have achieved 6 points and with these 66 points, the two teams are at the second and third position of the points table respectively. In the next match one team may have nine points and another team may have six points and two teams may have equal points if the result of the match is a draw. Brighton have performed well so far this season but their chances of winning against Arsenal are slim. If we talk about the last five matches where the two teams played against each other we can see that Arsenal have won three matches and Brighton have won two matches which means that Arsenal are more likely to win the upcoming match.

Obviously, Chelsea will be the favorites in this match. The difference in quality is very clear between the two, Chelsea immediately bounced back after being defeated by Manchester City. In the second EPL game played at Wolves' headquarters, they managed to beat the hosts with a score of 6-2, the increasing goal productivity will make them achieve another big win at Stamford Bridge. I never hesitate to bet on Chelsea even though the bookies give Chelsea small odds, the results achieved by Crystal Palace in the two EPL matches have given me confidence that Chelsea will win the match by more than two goals.
With a big win when visiting Wolves FC's headquarters, Chelsea will now be much more confident to play their 3rd match in the Premier League. They will host Crystal Palace in week 3. Crystal Palace themselves had to suffer defeat in their first 2 matches, in the first week they lost to Brentford and in the second week they also lost to West Ham.
This is a great opportunity for Chelsea to be able to get full points again. Taking advantage of the opponent's morale which is not in good condition and also having great morale after they won with a landslide score previously.
I know it’s too early to pass judgment on underperforming teams and top 4 teams right now as the season just started. But But I can guess relegation candidates today.
Everton
Ipswich
Southampton
Leicester city.
Everton that has very good defense during the run in last season have conceded the most goals so far this season. They don’t look good right now. They don’t really put in much defensive work like they did last season.

I think i must exclude Everton from that list. I've seen that many times Everton fell to the relegation zone. But, they always escaped it by the end of the season. That's why I'd prefer to call that Everton to be a relegation bait club. It's hard to call that a coincidence caused by them repeating it numerous times on them.
I’m sure the rest of the club, except Everton, will be relegated to the Championship. But, Leicester could stay longer if they fix their problems.
Everton who last season had a lot of problems and continued to get points deductions due to FA penalties but their are still able to survive in the Premier League until now, then why should we underestimate them just because two games have conceded a lot, besides that Leicester City and Southampton are teams that have managed promotion and previously they were teams that continue to inhabit the EPL mid-table so I think it's too easy for us to underestimate them at the moment, If only based on the temporary goal conceded as the reason for relegation, shouldn't we also include Wolves in that the list considering that they have conceded 6 goals at the moment?

They’ll host their London rival, Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this weekend. I’m expecting an exciting game and I tip them to replicate this form.
I think Chelsea will be the favourites to win this match they have a 60% chance of winning while Crystal Palace have 19% which is a very big difference but their chance of drawing is 21% I expect a win in this match and I mean Chelsea and did the same to Wolves before. In the statistics of their meetings Chelsea have won 5 matches against Crystal Palace so I think the bookies will give Chelsea small Odds bets, I am sure Enzo Maresca's men will do their best and not disappoint like their first match at home.They’ll host their London rival, Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

I hope you exclude Everton and Leicester from the relegation candidates this season. There is nothing wrong with us speculating but I think we also have to be careful in making that decision because in the second half of the season, the transfer window reopens and at that time some teams that look weak will surprise us all. I am not a fan of both teams but maybe you should look back at how Everton experience has survived in the EPL for more than a decade. That is proof that a team like Everton must have been able to overcome problems that could prevent the team from being relegated. Maybe Leicester could have to leave the EPL but I am still sure it will not happen this season. And one thing we must know now is that Everton current condition is only temporary. Everton

By the way Brighton has completed the signing of Turkish LB Ferdi Kadıoğlu officially. 
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1828503820755747262
They are going to pay 30 million euros fixed fee and there are bonuses worth 5 million too. Considering his talent level, I believe Brighton has signed him for a quite decent price. I thought it would be 40+ million first.
Ferdi started his career as a trequartista actually. But Vitor Pereira made a great LB out of him while he was managing Fenerbahçe back in the day. Now he is the best Turkish LB in my opinion.
I hope he can do well at Brighton as well.

This match still has 5 days left and I think it is very interesting to discuss because both clubs are in very good condition.
From the history of the meeting of the two clubs, Arsenal is actually still the favorite in the upcoming match, but the problem seems that Brighton at the beginning of this season is not a club that is easy to underestimate.
Even being able to beat Man Utd in the previous match and this is a great spirit for Brighton players.
Arsenal is still the same as before with great ambitions to win the EPL title so this match will be a really interesting match to watch.
~Snip~
Arsenal really began the season with good and positive energy so their match against Brighton wouldn't be a difficult one for them but looking at the head to head of both teams, Arsenal have won Brighton 8 times out of the 17 times they have met each other while Brighton has won Arsenal 8 times and they played 3 draws so the match is gonna be a bit tough but Arsenal have became more stronger towards this beginning of the season as they have already gotten 2 clean sheets in their previous games so this game against Brighton is mos likely to go same direction.

The contenders for the league title will be very glaring by Game week 5. Liverpool plays Manchester United & Arsenal plays Spurs within that sequence. I think it’s good to play the big games as early as possible, before they know the best player combinations.

I'm behind on information it seems because honestly I only found out that Joao returned to Chelsea this season after seeing him play in this match 
Lol… maybe you don’t follow up the the transfer news that’s why you missed it because almost everyone who follows transfers new knows that Joao Felix has re joined Chelsea on a permanent transfer this time around and is now fully a Chelsea player. 
Hopefully this choice is right for Joao but indeed at least with Joao at Chelsea, the quality of their attack could be better this season even though now Chelsea's midfielders and attacking players are too piled up.

Of course this match will be very interesting where Arsenal and Brighton, who at the beginning of this season, seem to want to make their performance conditions continue to improve with the wins made and they have to beat each other in this match.From the history of the meeting of the two clubs, Arsenal is actually still the favorite in the upcoming match, but the problem seems that Brighton at the beginning of this season is not a club that is easy to underestimate.
But looking at the conditions now I don't think this will be easy for Arsenal even though they are still very favorite because of the superior quality of players and playing home but we can see that in the first 2 matches Brighton's performance is quite good.
Both clubs also have quite good productivity in the first 2 matches so I think this will be more interesting where surely both clubs can score goals although I will bet on Arsenal in this match.

commenting the results of the day
Another bad year for Manchester united but at this point it is the norm.
Another bad year for Manchester united but at this point it is the norm.
How can you say that? Erik Ten Hag might have had his decisions wrong likewise selections but you can not tell me you didn't see improvements from the Manchester United game against Brighton despite the lose over the weekend. This is a wrong way to tag Manchester United season ahead. I believe and I'm certain they can qualify for top four and also win another silverware at the end if this season.
Below displays a good context of what lead to the first goal. I'm not seeing pundits not Manchester United ex players calling him out for the error made but they're all putting blames on Erik Ten Hag. Disgusting behavior from fans and non fans. This is enough to rule him off the next game against Liverpool and and start with De Ligt. Harry Maguire I have said a zillion times is not a typical Manchester United kind of player.
Also, Manchester United shouldn't have lost if Joshua Zirkzee hasn't come in contact with that Garnacho's goal. Blasting Erik Ten Hag displays how people do not watch football properly.
Manchester United is considered to be the greatest club of England for rightful reasons. But the way they play in the games, it's really poor. They seem like they have no drive, no hunger to win, and no real end product, this makes them suffer long-term.
Erik Ten Hag seems to have things sorted out, he knows tactics and when he is able to field a strong XI, we'll see what happens. They beat Man City just by outplaying them, and Ten Hag's tactics working well here. Now I think it's still early in the season to totally write them off, but the players have to do better. They have to put in more consciousness, they have to be even more hungry to win games. Their next game is against Liverpool, and from the first two games we could see how good Liverpool were. If Man United does not up their game, the derby could go very badly for them at Old Trafford.
The big win over Wolves does not seem to have satisfied Todd Boehly with the depth of the squad they currently have, even reportedly currently Chelsea are trying to try to exchange players between Sterling and Sancho, so if this happens then we will see an attacking line especially their wing line a very sharp , but about Chelsea interest in Osimhen seems to have disappeared because currently they have 6 players who are positioned as central attacker, The main reason if Chelsea will not bring in Osimhen again at this time is when they actually sell Lukaku to Napoli without wanting to make the player exchange option previously offered by Napoli, so if Chelsea wants Osimhen of course they will make an exchange between Osimhen and Lukaku previously, But in fact Chelsea have more Lukaku without any option to Napoli, currently I think Chelsea has excessive squad depth so there are no more new players they need to bring in and Maresca just needs to maximize the potential of their players now.
I do not completely understand what he is trying to do. Feels like he is running a "business" which ends up getting as many assets as he can get, to make the value of the club go up. I mean technically speaking, if the players have value, then on paper he can sell the team for a lot, and the one who buys the team could sell as much as 20 players, make a lot of cash, and build a good squad, and that's why he might be doing it.I do not know if Ted is looking to sell this quickly, but if his plan is to sell then he might be doing the right thing, a company with a lot of liquid cash is great, a company with assets that can turn into cash is even better. But if he is not planning on selling the team anytime soon, the reason for why he does this is still unknown and does not make sense.
Why is he still trying to get more and more players, he already has some and he should be happy with what he has. Not that his team is great, it can be better, but not buying more players on top of who they have. They should do what is suggested, sell about 20 players, and get 2 star players with all that money, would make more sense and could help with the team, imagine have 2 more Cole palmer level players, would make them so much better.

This match is now in the center of discussion as these two teams have been playing quite well this season. Brighton won both their first two matches. And the important thing is that Brighton team won against Manchester United in the last match. Brighton won 2-1 against Manchester United. And the performance of Brighton players was stronger than Manchester United in this match.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have won their first two matches against Wolves and Aston Villa. Wolves and Aston Villa were in strong enough positions. However, Arsenal won both matches. Arsenal won both matches 2-0. Arsenal team scored 4 goals in two matches but did not concede a single goal.
Arsenal vs Brighton matches are always competitive. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Arsenal have won 3 matches and Brighton have won 2 matches. As both the teams are in very good form, the upcoming match will undoubtedly be very exciting.
Manchester united match yesterday was very annoying after what Brighton did to them last season they couldn't correct their mistakes in the game yesterday, though just imagine the pressure that Brighton was putting on them after 1 goal down in the first half. However, after Manchester united equalize the game 1-1 in the second half I almost concluded that Manchester united is going to won them in the extra time because of the 7 minutes that was given to them, but to my greatest surprise Brighton was able to take the lead in the die minutes what a poor performance from Manchester united prayers.
The way Manchester United came back into the match in the second half we assumed that at least Manchester United would draw this match but going into extra time they made the same mistake which resulted in them losing a point in a match they surely could have got a point from. Man United signed a new defender to their club which led to high expectations for the defense but as usual Manchester United's defense once again disappointed and they showed an unprofessional side. The season has just started if they didn't lose points early on then they would have regained their confidence in the later matches and when they were towards the top of the points table they would have tried to maintain this top position. Hopefully Manchester United will not make such mistakes in the next matches and they will definitely perform like professional teams. 
This match still has 5 days left and I think it is very interesting to discuss because both clubs are in very good condition.
