Chelsea has done nobly by winning their match against Newcastle. They should win the next match(28th), which will shoot them to the 9th position.
I know that qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League this season, is far from Chelsea team, but let them at least win their FA Cup match against Leicester, to have a hope of lifting the FA Cup trophy.
It will be a shame if they should end two seasons without a single trophy added to their name after spending billions of dollars to new sign players.

When Manchester City and Liverpool draw then Arsenal at that time who benefit by rising to first place in the league, but later maybe we will see it happen again in the Arsenal vs Manchester City match and most likely also Liverpool will benefit from the game by returning to the top of the table with a note Arsenal lose or draw and Liverpool win in other game,  Currently Liverpool who are in second place in the standings have the same points as Arsenal and Arsenal are only ahead of Liverpool on goal difference at this time.

Before facing this crucial match, Arsenal today will try to have a match that is no less important in the Champions League and if they win later then Arsenal can look at the game against Manchester City with high motivation, if you say if Manchester City lose Ederson then it looks like Arsenal will also not be strengthened by one of their star players who may still be injured, namely Martinelli,  So I think the current team is quite balanced even though actually Manchester City have a better head to head than Arsenal so far.

For Pep Guardiola, the most important strategy of this match should be not to give Arsenal too many attacking chances. If Arsenal find too many chances, goalkeeper Ortega may struggle. Ederson was giving confidence in the goal, but considering that they will be fighting with the backup goalkeeper, the players in the defense area have more responsibility. They must be very good and not make any mistakes in that match.

I don't think there is any need to have high hopes for Chelsea because since the start of the season we have seen that they have strength but they are not able to maintain their consistency so I think the same thing will continue to happen throughout this season so I am not overreacting to their victory over Newcastle because in fact If we look at it as a whole, the Newcastle team is also quite down this season.

Chelsea has spent quite a lot of money so far to buy players, but we can see that it is not effective, so the Chelsea team will need a long time to re-build this team, I think it's not all about money.

Ederson's injury and a month's recovery time will prevent Ederson from appearing in the important match against Arsenal. This would be a huge loss for City. Arsenal has scored 70 goals in PL. This shows that Arsenal played very aggressively, and created many shots on target. Without a main goalkeeper, I think it will be difficult to contain Arsenal's aggressiveness in the penalty box. Steffan Ortega is a good goalkeeper, but I don't think it will be the same as Ederson. City must be able to defend very well in that match. This will be a tough job for Pep Guardiola.

I understand that they are "trying" but they are 11th and this has been first win in 3 games, and second in 5. They are still 11th in the league as well and doing quite terrible, there is no excuse that a team this good, a team that is this rich, should be at 11th place, it should be at least fighting for a spot in the UCL. I get that you may fail that, because the first three positions already occupied by amazing teams, but fourth position is available and you would fight with other teams.

Lowest I can accept would be sixth, still not good but at least that is not humiliating for them. At this point, 11th is so bad that even players wouldn't want to be there, hell even managers wouldn't want to be hired by Chelsea as well.

In as much as I wouldn't want to sound like underestimating Chelsea, I also wouldn't want to see them as they can really do much because they are not even looking like they can so I will rather just accept them as they are and see them within their performance and see to it that that's how well they can perform this season and hope they be improved by next season enough to do much better than they did this season.

If palmer plays in the attacking midfield position like you have suggested with similarities to Manchester city strategy I don't think bit will be a perfect idea because Chelsea don't seem to have that strength that will balance the midfield using such tactical approach, it will be better he maintains his position and pochettino finds a better approach with which he will position his plyers to get the desired results the hope to achieve from the team, strengthen their midfield is another thing they should put to consideration probably by next season.

Chelsea can still return to their glory days but not in this season and they will have to fix their midfield and a little touch around their defense to be able bro achieve that, they have got a fair attacking line which needs some brushing and they will be much better, overall Chelsea doesn't seem to have a bad squad but have a poor tactical approach to their games and that's what pochenttino should work on.

nothing of eclathant happen, the ladder is total static

I wouldn't say that Chelsea is back on track for winning Newcastle yesterday. We all know that Chelsea wins matches that people don't expect them to win, and lose matches that people expect them to win. This makes the club unpredictable, and that is why I can't say if they have picked form to become consistent in their matches. This is why I don't know if they will be able to win Leicester city in the upcoming FA cup match. However, if they can play like yesterday, winning their opponent can be achieved. Chelsea will not be able to win Arsenal, I doubt that. Chelsea might be able to draw the match but not a win because Arsenal have a target and Aretha does not look like someone who is ready to accept defeat in the rest matches.

Frankly, I already forget with this guy, I thought he's moved from Manchester United to other team considering I never saw him play anymore.

The only successful transfer made by Ten Hag is Hojlund, no one else. It's also good that Manchester United asking too big fees to West Ham for Maguire, now Maguire is already improved and no one mock him anymore.

It's either Onana or Antony that people always bully in Manchester United.

Manchester City and Chelsea cannot be compared. Manchester City is a great team at the moment and Chelsea is a team in development. He is still the Chelsea coach in the process of getting to know the team. They had such a bad year this year, but they will choose their supplements better for next year. They must be analyzing carefully where to buy players right now.

When this season started I actually thought that Chelsea Football club would do well especially with the arrival of their new coach. But it wasn't long when things fell apart and Chelsea became as helpless as anything you can think of. You will see Chelsea will win one match this week in the next week they will lose irrespective of which club they are playing. That is not a way to be successful in the English Premier League of this season. I don't even actually know the problem of Chelsea because this guys are young and are supposed to play good football, also they have a good coach who knows what it takes to be in the English Premier League and succeed. Could it be that the Chelsea players are lacking motivation? The reason I became more confused is that Chelsea have met Manchester City twice this season and Manchester City was unable to defeated them, if they use same energy they have been using to face Manchester City to face other clubs, Chelsea is supposed to be in the top four of the English Premier League this season. But then inconsistency has actually ruined their performance and the goal this season, let's see how the season will be for them.

The game is not easy for Man City nor Arsenal but both want to put on a great show to win the game and Ederson absence causes a lot of trouble for Man City. Man city is very dangerous but Arsenal does not want to Lose the top position.

I also really hope that Chelsea can be more consistent at the end of the season because Chelsea has been far behind the big clubs for several seasons. Chelsea has even been absent from European competition for too long, with the current player purchases and the coach being able to choose the right players. their place and Chelsea's results as they are now, there is no problem with 11th position, at least slowly but surely if they become more consistent at the end of the season then there is a possibility that they will rise to at least get into the top 10 of the ranking, that would be much more enough for Chelsea..

There is no problem if Chelsea has to spend quite a lot of money, 44 million Euros, in purchasing players, at least it could be a significant change for the Chelsea squad, and the results are satisfactory and in line with management's expectations in spending the coach's needs in sharpening Chelsea's attack line next season.

Is it only with this victory that we need to admit that Chelsea is back on the right track? Of course not because with such a big name I want Chelsea to be more than this. They are clearly experiencing a sharp decline, whether you like it or not, that's the fact this season. Stuck in 11th place is no longer the Chelsea we know, with the current club management it is still quite difficult to say better. It's a shame if the match against Arsenal is not postponed maybe we can get a definite answer about Chelsea performance, Pochettino can focus on the FA Cup to ensure he gets 3 points against Leicester City and that is the only way for Chelsea to be more motivated. The opponent is not difficult in terms of probability, but usually there are always unexpected surprises from opponents who are not favored.

Maybe it's been a long time since we've seen Mason Mount on Manchester United's squad list and now reportedly he is expected to be fit after the international break. Since being brought in from Chelsea, this player has not had a positive impact on the Red Devils squad and has often been absent due to injury. This time the problem was with his calf which made his recovery much longer. It can be seen that he has also done personal training to restore his performance a little.

I think none of Manchester United's signings last summer lived up to expectations except for Rasmus Hojlund and maybe Mason Mount could be the difference when needed later? I'm curious whether he will fail again or even continue to decline in performance after recovering from injury. Usually we know that the conditions after an injury vary, but usually it will be more difficult to adapt if the treatment is not appropriate. I think the Manchester United medical team this time has to really provide intense care for their players and not let them suffer frequent injuries again.

I am comfortable betting that city will beat Arsenal when the both clubs meet at Etihad by ending of this month. Ederson loss is really a big blow for Manchester City, but luckily they also have an experienced backup goal keep in Stefan Ortega. Has made some good saves in the Liverpool match when Ederson was substituted. But it would have been good if Ederson would be available for that particular encounter. There is this feeling when you have your first choice goal keeper in big games. The confidence level will be different.

Chelsea is already back become a team that can't be underestimated, even though they're currently at 11th rank, but sooner or later they will climb up if they performance are same like now. Shout out to Mudryk since he's the reason why Chelsea win in this match and also Palmer, Pochettino wasn't wrong to spent 44 Million Euros to buy him. I think if both Palmer and Gallagher play in attacking midfield positions, just like Manchester City's strategy, they will be stronger.

Chelsea since the takeover haven’t had consistent performance of win and this is now becoming a norm in the club and as such making the club look like a regular average club. Whay went wrong with this Club? This now makes us the fan celebrate every win even with the scoreline and match shows how we either struggle or give out the balls which in turn put us under pressure. This is the story of our match against Newcastle.Chelsea took all 3 points with goals from Palmer, Jackson and Mudryk. Isak and Murphy scored for the vistors who lost Gordon to injury. In this match we saw Chelsea having their earliest goal of the season and then seeing them grow strongly into the game.

 Things went bad and just before half time whistle the goal was equalized and you could see how the Chelsea defense let the ball go easily. Luckily they got the lead again and even doubled it and were confident of victory. Boom Newcastle came knocking again from a loss ball from Chelsea and then the pressure came in within the last 6 minutes of the game. This win no doubt is worthy of celebrating but also worthy of scrutiny as they need to really improve their performance as they head into the FA Cup Quater Finals.

 Now this win should be a big boost for them to be able to chase for top 8 and also the FA Cup as getting these would bring joy to their fans. I’m not worried for Newcastle because they’re still in a good position and can pose a threat from their current position, However over the years Chelsea has been one of the top teams in the EPL and they should be maintaining that standard instead of declining, it's a good thing they were able to beat Newcastle a team trying hard to raise their standards in the league.

Truly all Chelsea fans was very happy with the outcome of the match yesterday because at first they never believe that Chelsea will be strong enough to win Newcastle United because they are not in a good shape and besides Newcastle United has been more consistent than Chelsea and even on there last meeting on December with how impressive Newcastle United was on that match they almost won Chelsea on there home if not that at the last minutes of the match Chelsea was lucky to have equalize the goal, so perhaps with how tough that match was on Chelsea even while they were at home so most people was thinking that Newcastle United should be able to win them this time but on the contrary Chelsea came prepared. However with this wining they have the privilege of not only competing with Newcastle United on the table but with also other teams who has similar points with them, so it was good to see a very good improvement from them.
