In the Premier League, Chelsea suffered their third loss of the season after losing to Manchester City, Liverpool, and Fulham yesterday. Football is full of surprises; Chelsea led the game until the 80th minute and then conceded two goals in 14 minutes before the stoppage time. However, Fulham is doing well and managed to secure three points at Stamford Bridge despite only winning one of their last ten meetings against Chelsea and losing the other nine. Chelsea claims that because the players are still getting better, they are not fighting for the title.
However, if Arsenal wins against Ipswich today, they may move up to one point ahead of Chelsea, which might cost them their league spot. Ipswich, on the other hand, is a stubborn team, don't underestimate them, they are working very hard to stay out of the relegation zone. Arsenal will miss Saka, who has been an important part of the team, I hope Arsenal wins tonight because they don't have an attacking player that is good as Saka.
In the 18th week of the Premier League yesterday, many surprises occurred, Man City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Man Utd were defeated by teams below them, maybe there were other factors that caused their defeat yesterday. Only Liverpool remained consistent with their victory.
Maybe Maresca is right, his team is not aiming for the title this season, there are still many things that the coach needs to fix, such as being able to remain consistent, because currently even though Chelsea has improved rapidly, their consistency is still not 100% ready to fight for the trophy. Next season I think they are ready for that.
Today Arsenal will play as hosts against Ipswich Town, will Arteta's troops suffer the same fate as the other 4 big teams? Let's see.
