Do you think Manchester City's losing streak in the EPL will continue? In the last derby, I didn't expect Manchester United to make a comeback. A draw might have been possible, but winning against Man City 1-0 in last 10 minutes I didn't expect that. In the last 10 minutes of the second half, Manchester United scored 2 goals! I wonder what the odds were at that time, with only 10 minutes left in the game, for Manchester United to win. Those who bet on them at that moment were lucky if that was the case. If I'm not mistaken, the odds for Manchester United on the moneyline must have been high, probably around x50, when the score was still 1-0 with only 5-10 minutes left in the game.
Yesterday, the match between Bournemouth vs West Ham in the Premier League ended in a draw. In this match, the players of both teams performed equally, due to which neither team could win this match. In the first half of the game, neither team could score a goal, towards the end of the game, the players of both teams scored 1-1 and drew the match. The performance of the Bournemouth team players was not good, due to which they could not win this match.
I think Bournemouth have tried hard to win the match against West Ham. it's just that, some of the opportunities obtained but were not able to be executed perfectly, the penalty obtained by West Ham made things worse, fortunately Bournemouth was able to catch up to equalize the score, until in the end the match ended in a draw. There are several more matches that are quite tough for Bournemouth because they will face the red devils who have started to come back to life.
Chelsea has the opportunity to occupy first place this season if Liverpool's consistency begins to be disturbed in the upcoming matches, but if Liverpool continues to be as good as Chelsea, second place will not fall to any other team other than Chelsea because so far the improvement in the game of the Chelsea team itself has been quite good and undeniable. The next match for Chelsea is to host Fulham, and it will be a fairly easy match for Chelsea to win at home because Fulham has not developed well enough during this season.
Liverpool have a much heavier schedule in the next five matches because they have to face Tottenham, Man United and Nottingham Forest and if they are unable to maximize the three matches, it is likely that Chelsea will be able to win the first position. The next five matches Chelsea will face a much easier match because it will not face a much stronger team, so Chelsea's chances of catching up points from Liverpool are very large.This is the best opportunity for Chelsea but it takes consistency to be able to collect full points in the five matches. Enzo Marsca will definitely understand this opportunity will be a big hope for them and surely he will provide much better results to be able to rank first in the standings.

I disagree with you, how can you say he's not ready to win the title? Are you saying that if Enzo Maresca sees an opportunity of winning the league title that he'll chose to lose that chance? No, Enzo Maresca is trying to lie to himself like he doesn't know what's going on around him and some day it will be one of rhe players saying he doesn't know if they are second on the table. All these things he's doing can be one of his plans to deceive others but he shouldn't feel that he is smarter than the other coaches. No doubt about the Blues and how they have been progressing and correcting their mistakes, is a good thing for the Chelsea side. If you still talking about pressure I feel this man Enzo Maresca is someone that doesn't know how to operate under pressure so he had to put on this act of not being a challenger for the title.
Saying you're in the title race dose not automatically put anyone under pressure if he admits it or not, it has nothing to do with pressure. The season is too early for any manager to admit being in a title race when the gap between 2nd and 4th place is very slim. The title race usually starts from March and we're still in December.
Let's see if the team will still be in the title position in March and let's see if Enzo was right or not.
A bit disagree with your opinion. When you're calling your team is in the title race, it's automatically pressuring your club. That's because the public is paying more attention to you. You have to prepare a better mentality if you failed to get the trophy.
I know Maresca is only trying to ensure the momentum will be last much longer. he doesn't wanna see his players under pressure after he declared his team is in the title race. His team is just coming back from his shaky performance.
Maresca has to ensure his club can perform better. He also empashize unable to call them in the title race when they still conceded cheap goals. It's a mind games from him.

Uniquely after their match ended in a draw like that, now both teams have the same points gap with the team called Manchester, namely Bournemouth is two points behind Manchester City because they were unable to win the match. While West Ham is three points behind Manchester United in fourteenth place so that the competition for points from the teams in the top five to thirteenth place is even fiercer in the Premier League standings. Because in the next match there will definitely be many changes in position for most teams except for the three teams that are already at the top of the Premier League at this time.
Very tight competition is currently taking place this season. Where usually there is always a big difference in points earned between the top 5 positions and positions outside the top 10. But what we can see now is that there is no big difference in points between the team ranked 5th and the team ranked outside the top 10. Even just a few match results can make things turn around quickly. It is very clear that the current season is very different from previous seasons. It is even possible that Manchester City will immediately drop to 7th place if Manchester City fails to win in the next match. Meanwhile, Manchester United could immediately return to the top 10 if they win their next match. As long as the teams ranked in the top 10 fail to get full points. This is a condition where anything can happen and ranking changes can occur quickly. And in the next match, Manchester City will even face Aston Villa. And if Manchester City loses, Manchester City will immediately be ranked 6th or 7th. It depends on the result of the Bournemout vs Manchester United match. Every week we really feel great tension in the Premier League.

Because in the next match there will definitely be many changes in position for most teams except for the three teams that are already at the top of the Premier League at this time. Liverpool have a much bigger chance of winning the Premier League and they are probably the only team that has been much more consistent this season compared to some of the challengers below them. But entering the second half of the season will be much more difficult because it is about consistency in maintaining wins and in the Premier League it might be different because if a team suffers one defeat it can set back the next game. Liverpool must avoid that if they want to achieve trophies this season because it is not easy to maintain wins in every game. Meanwhile, I doubt Arsenal can perform consistently and maybe they will experience a slight decline when the league is almost over like the previous season.
Sometimes in the middle of the season the real challenges will begin to be felt by all teams. Because the competition will heat up and in the end only the team that is able to be consistent until the end will win. Last season we also saw several teams take turns filling the top ranking of the Premier League but in the end only Manchester City managed to take first place at the end of the season. Arsenal failed at the last moment. Maybe Liverpool will also experience the same difficulties after the season enters the middle. But as long as they can maintain consistency then there is no need to worry. It's just that maintaining consistency is always the main obstacle for every team. And maybe Manchester City has succeeded in the past few seasons but they failed this season. And now I'm curious whether Liverpool will be like Manchester City last season or Liverpool will just be like Arsenal where they always stood at the top of the rankings from the start but failed at the end. Well anything can still happen. But for now the strongest candidate is still Liverpool.

Bournemouth were lucky to have a goal at the end of the match to avoid defeat, overall Bournemouth did not play well in this match even though they were playing at home slightly favored but they actually had a hard time facing West Ham.After getting good results in the previous 3 matches I was confident enough to bet on Bournemouth winning the match but that made my bet lose.
In football there are indeed quite a lot of things that are beyond control that can happen, so many surprises and maybe that's what makes football much more interesting.

The next match for Chelsea is to host Fulham, and it will be a fairly easy match for Chelsea to win at home because Fulham has not developed well enough during this season.
Chelsea's development is quite rapid now even though at the beginning of the season they were underestimated but now they have proven their quality and they are now even considered as one of the contenders for the Premier League title this season.Chelsea only needs to maintain their consistency in the rest of the season which is still quite long and for the competition with Liverpool I think it will be quite fierce until the end of the season and now I am starting to believe that in terms of percentage these two teams are quite equal to get the title this season.
Any gamblers who kept staking their money on Manchester City by doubling and tripling their bet amount in 1x2 would have already incur huge amount of losses at this moment. Based on the last 11 matches which Manchester City played in both the English Premier League and Uefa Champions League, they had only won once against Nottingham Forest and suffered a total of 8 losses and 2 draws. I guess Pep Guardiola has truly paid a huge price for this horrible run as he did not actively seek out new transfers of players into Manchester City before the start of this season.
I have not bet on Man City anymore, either 1x2 or other options, because currently their performance is bad which makes the risk of losing in betting much higher. I will bet if they are stable winning consecutive matches there I will give my trust again. But until now I have not seen Man City recover quickly, maybe Pep should rest.

No no, him saying that Chelsea are in the title race bring it's own added pressure to the team bro, though he never believed initially that Chelsea can challenge for the title from the very start due to how poor they are at the back, but recently they have been outscoring their opponent and getting the desired result, so it's quite logical for him to say that they aren't ready to win the title, because the kind of stupid goals they normally conceive wouldn't have left them of the hook if they aren't outscoring their opponent, so their defense needs to improve so massively if they are to be considered serious title contender.
Lastly, another thing I observe that Enzo mascara is doing is that he is down playing their title chances publicly so that if they fail to win the title this year, nobody will start pushing blames because his initial target is to get them back into the champions league spot, so anything more is like a bonus, so his porous defense is one of those reasons right now he can't admit that they are in the title race.
What you say I think is true. Because Enzo knows that the squad that Chelsea has is only young players whose mentality is actually quite vulnerable if they get too much pressure. So Maresca only made the most logical goal based on Chelsea's achievements last season. And Chelsea's target would indeed make more sense if from the start it was just to get a ticket to the UCL. because if it succeeds it will still be considered an extraordinary achievement for this team with its young squad.

Enzo really knows how to play it safe as a big team coach. He will not take risks by telling the media that his goal is to win the title this season. Because if he ultimately doesn't succeed then criticism will come his way and of course the players will also be under pressure. Enzo took safe steps but continued to fight as best as he could with the squad he is currently coaching.

Enzo Maresca hard work is starting to pay off, he has managed to raise the passion of the players to continue to perform optimally and one of Chelsea strengths under Maresca guidance is managing to maintain a squad filled with players with an average age of only 23.9 years, the energy and flexibility of the players allows them to compete in various competitions. Maresca also managed to bring out the potential of Cole Palmer, he became one of the most shining players and has become an important figure for Chelsea. With their impressive performance, Chelsea chances of continuing to shine are getting bigger.

The next match for Chelsea is to host Fulham, and it will be a fairly easy match for Chelsea to win at home because Fulham has not developed well enough during this season. 
Chelsea need to maintain their consistency, Enzo is not targeting trophies but if there is a chance he will definitely go for it, while for now Enzo remains focused on the development of his players. Cole Palmer is the puzzle piece that The Blues have been looking for, without Palmer goal contribution Chelsea might still be in a bad situation. Madueke and Jackson are not yet independent players like Palmer, so I prefer Chelsea to give a more special place to Palmer than those 2 players.
Palmer is an important player in Enzo's strategy. Palmer can make Chelsea's game more interesting. Moreover, he has currently scored 11 goals in the Premier League, which is 2 goals less than Haaland and Salah. Moreover, their current position is very close to Liverpool at the top of the standings even though Liverpool still has a difference of 1 game. Even though Enzo is not targeting a trophy this season, he still has to maintain the performance of his players to keep playing well. They have a chance for a trophy this season, it is not impossible that they can get 1.
I doubted too, I wasn't reallly expecting that Enzo Maresca would have revived the Chelsea's team this quick and to occupy the second spot in the league table, indeed an incredible performance so far at this point in time of the season, I was only hoping if he manages to qualify Chelsea for the champions league next season and not to see such a drastic revival of the Chelsea's squad that everybody almost lost hope during the past two sacked coaches Potter and Pochettino precisely.

I think this is not entirely Pep's fault before he decided to recruit players, he must have discussed it first with the club management, not just carelessly recruiting the players he needed, especially Man City last season was hit by many accusations so they have to be careful in acting if they don't want to make a fatal mistake, bad luck is indeed no one knows Pep Guardiola must feel quite confident with the existing squad because he thinks he has mastered the game for years but it seems this season he has run out of tactics and his strategy is starting to be easily read by his opponents.
If for that reason Manchester City is experiencing a decline then I don't think that is an excuse because the squad that Pep Guardiola currently has is not much different from last season's squad and it shouldn't affect the team's performance that much. Maybe because other team coaches already understand Pep Guardiola's strategy so they can see weaknesses that can be exploited and are also influenced by several players who were previously injured.It feels difficult to maintain dominance in the English league even though Manchester City has done that for several seasons in a row. Now there are much better teams then Manchester City will experience a bit of a setback and it is only right for other clubs to try to dominate so the league will be more interesting and not boring.

Exactly that is where Pep Guardiola got it wrong by not signing enough players last summer transfer window, this had resulted to their poor runs, though he had some few signings like return of Gundogan from Barcelona and signing of Sarvinho, I believe Pep Guardiola thinks that he has a formidable squad with depth not considering injuries that might hinder his squad, now a handful of first team players are out injured among them include Rodri, Ake, Akanji and Stone those players would have make a positive impact on the team had they been fit unfortunately Pep Guardiola didn't have perfect replacement for them and it obvious some of the squad players are getting old thus wouldn't play optimally players like Debruyn, Silva and Gundogan.

I still don't get, when does the title race begins? This is the very moment after all we'll soon be entering the second half of the season and that's when every fixture will be too tight and hotter than it is. I some how agree with you, if he admit it or not it won't change anything but I still think ones he accept the fact that he is the favorite which he is and in the race you'd be seeing some crazy decisions being thrown at him and his team by the refs, take a look at how things was for the Gunners as of last season, some calls weren't necessary but it had to be made to drag them off their line, now Enzo has been sailing smoothly but they are waiting for that mistake to be made.
Liverpool have a much bigger chance of winning the Premier League and they are probably the only team that has been much more consistent this season compared to some of the challengers below them. But entering the second half of the season will be much more difficult because it is about consistency in maintaining wins and in the Premier League it might be different because if a team suffers one defeat it can set back the next game. Liverpool must avoid that if they want to achieve trophies this season because it is not easy to maintain wins in every game. Meanwhile, I doubt Arsenal can perform consistently and maybe they will experience a slight decline when the league is almost over like the previous season.
