Well they've really improved no doubt but the come back win against Burnley before the international break is not enough and they'll need to be consistent in about 4 to 5 matches Before I'll be really convinced they're back to winning ways, their next match is a big text for Pouchettino and it would be very tough for the team cause they're facing a big side that are performing very well,in a derby match and could end up losing the game.

 However I'm not underestimating Chelsea cause they could suprisenly make the game to be in their favour since they'll be playing with a home advantage I'm just giving my opinion based on Arsenal's current performance and comparing their squad with that of Chelsea's, the away team looks more better with a stronger defence, and attack compared to Chelsea's.

 well since the take over of Todd Boehly he's been struggling to take the club back to its glory days and has fired about 3 coaches before Pouchettino, but I feel they're on the right process with Pouchettino and even if they don't really perform well this season they'll be very tough the next season.

Chelsea has been slowly showing improvement yet if we refers to the statistic and this club is still long way to go to be in the same level as arsenal. Pochettino won't care so much if chelsea will be losing against arsenal but the club may use it as measurement to know how strong/weak chelsea is right now. This is the main reason if draw won't be a bad result for chelsea. Arsenal is strong like totenham right now but it must be noted that if nothing last forever. Arsenal shall not also underestimate its opponent. The club needs to treat any of its opponents the same.
Havetz will be starting from bench while chelsea may use its best line up since the match will be starting. This match is the hottest match that will be happening soon. Pochettino is trying to make sure everything is well prepared as well as arteta with its club.
Chelsea needs to rediscover its best performance like when it was still under abramovich. Arsenal needs to be careful caused by it will be playing away.

I have seen that if pochettino has been preparing james for the match against arsenal but he is not yet ready due to the injury. Im also doubting malo gusto to play in this game.

Well, I could think that things when they are about how to do Everything Right, well, Pepe is good at that, I don't know why they have Been so Distorted, I think that this Can be seen from the sense of the things that are more common for for City to Show that they are the defending Champions of the UCL, although in my personal opinion , for me the one who should have won was Inter, for me they did much more merit, but hey, that's football, if they play badly now, it's because they show that it was more luck than merit, although this is not Something that has to be seen like that, but if it has to be seen as something that they can support to do better, Pep Guardiola has to do things in the Best way because obviously we are expecting a lot from them , they can't leave Football behind, I don't know what's wrong with them, they could be doing a lot of things to not earn Respect, but who Knows why, I see that Haaland has had many failures here At the moment he did not qualify for the Euro, it is bad, because he is a player who should have led his team better to win, these types of things we can take into consideration due to the Performance they have had with respect to City , no I have seen Haaland shine and that is something serious, for me the best thing is that Pep lets him exploit all of his football and does not take him out when he is well connected.

I Couldn't Believe how Haaland was Going to break Messi's record in Goals , Pep Guariiodla took it, so they are chaos that didn't fit me at all, I don't see the reason why he would do that, in any case I am a good person who respects the designs of a coach like him, he has won UCL, so he should know his reasons, but personally it didn't seem to me , and block the Career and career of a player, that's why I think Madrid should find a way to bring it to them, because I see a Much better future for him there than at City , that's my way of Thinking.


Without a doubt this is one of the most anticipated matches, I have a lot of faith in Chelsea because it seems to me that they are a team that has been fighting a lot over time and they are players who are giving it much more now, this It is like a reward for the effort that has been coming for some time, of course the coach has also known how to find what he is, because practically he is one of those who has taken this team forward, in addition to the fact that he is going to facing one of the best teams in the world is something that can cause a lot of controversy, and for many it is one of the most crucial matches, in terms of entertainment and a lot of football action, I will think that many fans are waiting for this game for what it can open a lot, I think it will be very difficult for some to do something while the other team is standing still, this is something that will be very good, I don't want to miss it for anything in the world.

How should Chelsea line up against Arsenal?

The truth is I'm not sure who I could bet on, because both teams are very good, for me Arsenal is in better shape , but Chelsea has a lot of heart now, I see that, you see that playing like this can achieve many good things.

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal Manchester City and Liverpool are the top four teams at the moment who have dominated the League and it is very likely that they can get a win in this weekend match but it is also possible that they fail to get win because they lose lead or draw because in football there are always surprises.
For Tottenham maybe they can get their win by the end of this week and so can Manchester City, but for Arsenal or Liverpool I not so sure.

Regarding Manchester United who are in bad condition it looks like they will be full of difficulties and they even have chance that next season they won't get UCL ticket if there are no significant developments.
Plus at the end of the month they have to face Manchester City which is team with many great players in it, I not sure Manchester United can safely face the match until the end of this month.

We can use their current performance to predict this match, because Chelsea don't have the strength to achieve victory from Arsenal in this match, because their coach will still apply the same strategy that made them to defeated Manchester city and Manchester united last matches to embraced the points. I believe Chelsea will not allow Arsenal  to use them anyhow the way they are using some big teams in this season than to make the match difficult for them in the first half. This match will determine if Chelsea coach is going to help the team to achieve something good from this season by defeating Arsenal, which I know it will be very difficult for such mistakes to happen Arsenal.

Can we just say that all of the big boys in the Premier League will end up winning their various matches this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool but no so sure for Manchester United. Manchester United are so poor that you'll think they've been managed by David Moyes all these while. ( Why do I keep getting them flashbacks? )

Liverpool? That game can only go easy with Liverpool if they want to make it go easy. Derbies are not always easy as we see them. Manchester City though play Brighton who have found difficulty maintaining balance from the Premier League to the Europa League Competition.
Home advantage gives Liverpool the opportunity to break Everton.

The situation can change any time. The previous season has been giving enough experience to learn about how the situation can change drastically in matters of a few weeks. Arsenal goes from 100 to the zero in a short time.
Manchester city which was not so impressive last season was able going from zero to hero. That proves that if everything can happen in the football. Arsenal and totenham looked so impressive this season but we are still far away from the end of season.
There will be so many schedules to come for arsenal. it will be also giving huge pressures to the players and force them not to be exhausted due to the busy schedules faced by arsenal.
I think that there is still a chance for the table to change again. City is able to go to the top again at the end of season.

Although it is too early to draw conclusions, we should of course discuss these possibilities if they cannot win the Premier League championship. They lost against Arsenal and had been beaten before that. I think the last time he lost a match for 2 weeks in a row was 2 or 3 years ago. There are things to say about City's current situation, and these things do not end easily. If they lose another point, it will become more serious for Manchester City.

Like I said before, Chelsea are going to try all they could to savage a point,because I know  quite well that they won't be playing to win he match,they would play to just atleast get a point from this game at Standford Bridge,but the inform Arsenal will not allow them get the point they will want to.The blues are beginning to pick form and that's why people are saying they have a chance of winning this game,but that is not going to happen against a team like Arsenal who are finding by all means to win all their matches  so that they will top the league table,and they know quite well that if they draw or lose,it would give Manchester City an edge over them.I think this is going to be a win win match for Arsenal.

Im still doubting it. I meant if the tempo is chelsea is not yet consistent. This club is sometime goiing up and down drastically. I have noticed that if chelsea is now quite difference but it sounds like that no chance is happening with the club.
Chelsea's odds even higher compared with arsenal which mean bookies were favoring arsenal to win the game against it easily without any problem. In fact, chelsea was always losing against the current arsenal since last season.
I remember that chelsea lost two times in a row last season at home and away.  The same result is going to repeat again in upcoming match. I will be a miracle if chelsea will able to beat arsenal.

Arsenal has been doing significant improvement, but this club was not always able to win even a single trophy. I must admit the performance from arsenal is quite consistence since the last season but this club was trophyless.
It proves that if arsenal is still a bottle club. Im waiting for the result from this club at the end of season. Arsenal never won EPL since a long time ago.

Apart from the Chelsea - Arsenal match I'm feeling confident about Manchester City and Liverpool both to win on this week. Because both of these teams have been losing points for 2 weeks. Their next opponents are Brighton and Everton respectively. Brighton are pretty strong team maybe but I don't think they can handle Manchester City in Etihad.

Liverpool technically have an easier match than Manchester City. Because Everton are still no different than their look in the previous season. In Anfield Liverpool should be able to get a comfortable win.

It will be a high-tempo match between Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal are in great form and it will be a difficult game for Chelsea. If they don't make a difference, it's a good day for them. Maybe if they are lucky they can beat Arsenal. However, the probability of this is very low.

Arsenal are certainly much closer side to win this match. Chelsea might seem better recently due to the wins they got. However I don't still see them good enough to stay strong against other top teams of the league. Especially Arsenal are one of the most in-form teams these days. They even won against Manchester City you know.

But at least the final score might not be very bad for Chelsea. I think they can show us some good resistance to prevent a big loss. They are one of the least conceding teams in the league now in the end.

If it were few years ago, I would have called the London derby the clash of the titans, but I can't do that because of Chelsea's performance this season. They have been really woefully and I wouldn't give their last two wins before the International break much thoughts. For me, it's going to be business as usual for arsenal and they are going to win the game. The gunners have been playing very well this season. Their last game against Manchester City, they played like a side that's hungry for the title and I think Chelsea is going to be no match for them come saturday.

I can even imagine the game will be dominating by arsenal. Chelsea is weak this time. No reason to pick this even though this club will play at SB.


Arsenal will be trying to defend its record. Arteta will urge his team to defend the record against chelsea. Chelsea may also able to put jackson as starting line up. I think that martinelli will be also starting from bench. We may see a good duel between these london clubs but arsenal seems have bigger chance to dominate the match.
Chelsea can rely on mudryk to use its speed to create counter attack. Chelsea needs to use the same strategy as previous match when pochettino used 4-3-3


since Nkuku is still injury and chelsea has no choice other than use the available resource at this moment. No need to think about him caused by he will not play against arsenal. We shall be more realistic about that.
Chelsea is still having palmer who can play as good as nkuku.

To me, this attitude that Tottenham has may be the best so that the best can happen for them, in part this is something strange, because I think that things can happen when a team is totally integrated, of course this is achieved by a good director technical, and at the same time it is something that no one expected, because with Kane's absence it is because the team is not that it has gone down, but I know that many have been surprised, but personally I think that things can happen as they do they want it to happen.

So when people can start looking for the best strategy for the Sprus, it has surprised a lot, I could say that it has surprised me and that normally Tottenham without Kane, well, I thought I wouldn't be able to be at the level, but hey, the Things that they have done have worked for them, and this means that they have not been able to fill the gap that Kane has left, the question here is that they can maintain that level.

Now, I think that Bayern has known how to take advantage of the moment since he joined the team, because he has contributed a lot, Harry Kane is a very controversial player, the Spurs did not want to let him go, in fact I still remember how Bayern was aware of everyone Tottenham's moves so that they could release this player, well, when it comes to the teams and their star players, they tend to be quite jealous, because no one wants to release their stars, because at any moment they can make a difference and I think this is the only thing that is valid these days, especially now in world football where there are almost no new stars, because the one who shines the most now is Haaland for me, but Messi and CR7 will always shine, who are the most they have in reality. marked an era, for its way of playing and doing many good things, of course what I can say about this is that when it comes to making a good team if enough stars are needed, there is no other way, it is the best way to ensure wins.


Well, when things are done with different manifestations that a specific player is not very essential, because things are quite difficult, it is, I am very surprised about Pep, apparently DeBruyne is a very fundamental piece in this team and he should not Is it like this, because the players in a team come and go, when he wants to leave, how will the team be? very badly? It's not the idea, Pep didn't see this before, it's because he's really very confident and believing that Haaland will always help him get ahead, I think it's very bad from him, because not everything is a player, the others too They contribute and should be aware of this, for me what is coming will be very hard if they do not join the flow of things, such as the defending champions of the UCL, but at the rate they are going they are finding everything very difficult, and it is a shame .

Man City are playing a dangerous game with three of their most important stars

Well, we'll wait to see what Man City can do, I'm very curious about their situation.

With Man City condition having experienced a slight decline since the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in the line, it seems that they are not very effective when building attacks and Haaland has not been able to score goals in the last few matches. And I'm afraid Pep Guardiola will have difficulty anticipating Brighton's game. Because Roberto De Zerbi children were able to provide tough resistance against Liverpool. Of course, it is clear evidence that when Brighton faces big clubs, their performance will quickly match that of their opponents.

Well the thing is that absence of Debruyne and departure of Gundogan made them to decline in form currently but that doesn't mean City should be write off, they're still very strong contenders and people forget that the league haven't really gone far and City would bounce back ones Debruyne returns but however i feel the teams performance shouldn't be dependent on Kelvin Debruyne Pep Guardiola should look for a strategy to start  winning games comfortably like they did last season.

 Well Arsenal are performing very well and that's why they won against City not like Pep Guardiola's team is not doing fine this season they're currently in the 3rd position however you don't expect them to go the whole season without securing loses it not possible no matter how strong they're, well the gap between them and Tottenham is not very wide and it would be easy for them to cover up, but they need to win against Brighton to not to widen it more.

you cannot compare the Calibre of players that left last season to the ones who left this season.Zinchenko and Jesus were not first team players at City, although Jesus was the only recognised striker at the team,but wasn't often used.But this season,they lost Gundogan,and we all know the impact of Gundogan in big matches,they also lost one of their best wingers,and one of the best wingers in the premier league which is Mahrez.
Like that wasnt enough, Debruyne is now out due to injury ,which has had a significant effect on the performance of the team,and the recent one was Rodri,who was sent off due to red card,that's why they are really performing badly,and losing games back to back.

City were in the lead all this time and no one was talking about their bad game, but as soon as they had a slight decline, people immediately started talking about how bad things were for City. You shouldn’t think that because Gundogan left the team, and De Bruyne now absent due to injury, City have become worse in their play, this is not. Last season, significantly more players left City, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus and others, all predicted City's decline because of this, but in the end they won the Premier League and the Champions League, so don't rush to conclusions.
