This Chelsea is far better than we saw from them during the last 3-2 years. They have made many changes in this team and they tried hard to improve the team. We can forget when they were even about to get relegated during the last season they were under pressure but now Chelsea is even performing much better than teams like Manchester City and Arsenal while I was even expecting to see Maresca get fired from Chelsea just like many other coaches.
Maresca didn't even spend too much money like many other coaches they were working there and they knew how talented this coach was.

Pep Guardiola is currently devastated with the results he's been getting in all competitions but the major problem now is that I his team doesn't even look like one that will bounce back to top form anytime soon. Since Rodri got injured, Manchester City have played 10 games in all competitions and have been able to win just one.
Manchester City's next game is an English Premier League game against Manchester United and considering the current performance of their neighbors, I strongly doubt that City will win that game.

In the beginning, I was sceptical about Enzo Maresca and his future in Chelsea. I didn’t think he would be able to turn Chelsea into a competitive club again. For a manager who was relatively unknown at the top level, Enzo Maresca has surpassed my expectations. It's impressive how quickly Enzo Maresca adapted to the Premier League. Watching Chelsea play with strength and propose is a testament to the good works of Enzo Maresca.

I love how everyone is now changing the narrative, so everyone has accepted that Erik Ten Hag isn't the problem but the players are the ones that are bad but everyone supported the campaign for ETH to go, now he is gone is no longer the problem anymore. The only thing I see bad In ETH was his kind of decision, he is very poor at that else the guy is good down to earth in improving performance of players, I guess he will be smiling wherever he is right now.

Who knows this is another phase of Chelsea and Pochettino, you know the first time, it will look easy and then there will comes to be some challenges and then it will turn to big one before the clubs stake give him some quick letters to quit. If Amorim get pass this stage, I will be happy for him because it's not an easy journey but if he fail, I will laugh because he was having a nice time in Sporting before he jumped over this role of Manchester United, he thought it wasn't going to be easy. Lmao

The chances of Ruben Amorim staying at Manchester United is becoming slimmer by the day because so far we are not seeing much difference in the team even when there were so much expectations from him. I understand some may say he need more time but the truth is that Manchester United does not have much time because their position in the league table is not befitting of a club of their caliber. It was with great stress  they were able to win their Europa league match against Viktoria Plzen who scored them first before Rasmus scored twice to make them win. A lot need to change about the club before the confidence of their supporters can be restored.

We all know that Manchester City have been very poor and they have some players who have lost their form in the club that we can say this particular player is trying. The way the Citizens have been dropping point it seems (to some) like they are no longer in the title race which I doubt because they always have a way of surprising us. They lost a game to Juventus who have not been impressive and one would think City will use Juventus to get back their form but it didn't happen last night and tonight UTD narrowly won their game against Plzen, that alone would give the Red Devils a high spirit to go against Manchester City on Sunday.
But we shouldn't say because City have been struggling they are going to lose to Amorim who won their Europa game tonight, no I don't feel so. Something else might happen and I have that feeling that Man City will get back to winning ways in this encounter on Sunday, it is either Pep gets all 3pt to himself or it will end in a draw. I think for ones this Manchester derby will be an interesting one compared to 2 to 3 seasons ago that City only dominate.

It is clear that he will solve the current problems one way or another (I heard that he will be given 200 million for winter transfers instead of the originally planned 100), the question is that he does not see himself in football (at least in club football) after City. Maybe he will leave suddenly like Klopp, who knows. But now he has definitely lost his aura.

He's in trouble but I'm not too sure he's finished for now.
Pep has always been able to get out of his problems in previous seasons and although this time the problems are a bit bigger, I still believe he can still turn this situation around for the better.

Now he's in a bit of a pickle where the scheme he's been building since the beginning (even for a few seasons) which has always worked well is starting to suffer from a problem where they're only able to keep the ball without being able to do anything to score because their finishing has faltered due to their targetman being unable to move due to being closed down.

It seems like the opponent has begun to understand how to anticipate Pep's scheme because it always relies on Haaland who has always been a goal robot for Manchester City and when his movement is covered then it is like the end for Pep's scheme. But this can't be the end, now we are faced with the winter transfer where Pep will obviously try his best to select his performance I guess. Rodri's role is quite vital, I think they will try to patch this gap because until now Kovavic has not been able to do it and it is likely that for the winter transfer they will try to find new alternatives so that Manchester City's attack pattern is maximized not only possession of the ball they have in match.

The two team’s performances have not been good, but even with Manchester City’s poor performance, it’s going to be kind of difficult for Manchester United to win in the match. Manchester City will be playing against Manchester United. I know Manchester City will do everything to get a win in the match, since United are not also playing well currently, it’s going to be a tough match, but Manchester City should be able to get a win, even as they are performing poorly. If Manchester City will be playing against a team that is performing well, then I will be expecting a loss or draw from Manchester City, but Manchester United is performing poorly also.

We all know that Amorim is a good coach, but he is currently in Manchester United, and we know that Manchester United’s problem is not the coach, their current problem is the players, so we can’t compare Amorim's performance when he was in Sporting with now that he is in Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola never expected such performance from his team at this moment, he is the best manager in the Premier League right now, and he is supposed to have squad depth, but he failed to keep a perfect replacement for Rodri, and he also fails to build a strong defense which is why his team performance is very poor at this moment. He is currently having the worst time of his career as a manager, and he just signed two years fresh contract recently which he couldn’t have signed since he has started noticing such disaster.

Nevertheless, his choice for not signing for any club after leaving Manchester City is a good one in my opinion, he can go ahead and experience coaching national teams because I don’t think he can survive in any team now because he can’t have the chance to spend money anyhow to sign any player he wants just he put Manchester City in problem of handling FFP charges.

He's been cooked ever since he lost Rodri to injury. Also he has players aging and they're gradually finding it difficult to dominate in the Premier League competition. Names like Bernado Silva,  Kevin De Bruyne, and llkay Gundugan fall under this category. It's best if he leaves the management before the management leaves him. He made the premier league fun to watch at a certain season and time. Top man.

Except Amorim decided to sign quality players from any club across European league else he be sacked just like Erik ten Hag who signed many players from Ajax into Man Utd hoping to get good results unfortunately it's a biggest mistake, I read a news that Amorim wanted to sign players from his former club Sporting too, though I  agreed that the present squad in Man Utd need a complete overhauling if Amorim want to succeed but has to apply wisdom to it so as to avoid past mistakes of the club former managers I hope the board of Man Utd gives him enough time to reposition the club.

Manchester United is still struggling to come up and the big clubs are weighing it down. And the new coach need to work hard to bring back the team to the normal form. As for the two teams. I don't know what to say again in this season. Though those two teams were great Teams in premier league but things fall apart and among the two, Manchester City is over ahead Manchester United. Manchester City is on 1-3-1 form in the season while Manchester United is on 2-2-1 recording. But Manchester City match on the 15 of this month will tell us the latest ranking in the season again.

Lol that photo 
Looks like Guardiola is cooked. He said he had no plans to coach any other club after City. I don't know if this means that he will try himself in the role of coach of the national team, but for me it definitely means that Guardiola understands that easy times and options are over and he cannot easily farm titles on someone else's legacy or oil money.

This is outside Premier League business, I'm not convince yet aboyr Manchester United performance until I see they win atleast 2-3 matches in Premier League without any loss, that's when I will completely have faith in Amorim. It was the same Amorim that made statement of hat Manchester United job was tougher than he expected, seems he was to over joyous about his performance in Sporting otherwise even a deaf and dump person knows it's not an easy task and beside it's too early to be complaining.

I don't even know what to think of these two people in the Premier League, Manchester City are in the worst form of their self after last 4 great season and Manchester United is just another old guy trying to form a big where when they don't have the swag, they don't have the capacity even with their coach, they are not who they used to be in the last few years back. I think I will go with draw on this one but wouldn't bet it, but over 2 is realistic.

The top 4 teams should be considered as teams on the list for the title, of course as long as the points gap between each of them and the top of the standings is not too big. This means that as long as the mathematics can still change, any team can still win the title this season.

Liverpool and Chelsea's performance this season is really good compared to Arsenal and Manchester City. The last two teams have problems with their performance so they are vulnerable to losing important points in matches they should win. Manchester City is the worst team among the top 3, but Arsenal is also no better even though they have 2 points more than Manchester City. So in conclusion, Chelsea deserves to be on the list of champions this season as long as they can still compete to knock Liverpool off the top.

Pep Guardiola has done well for the club which no coach in history has done in Manchester City. The way things are going for him and the club now is not completely his fault. That does not warrant the management to sack him. Manchester United managed so many useless coaches for 6 years before they could sack him. And just one season for things going wrong for Pep they want to sack him. Let him go he will still do better in any club that will go for him onwards. City should be grateful for such a good coach.

In my personal opinion, Pep Guardiola should not be fired but he should resign honorably from Man City. Because if Pep Guardiola is fired, it feels too much to fire Pep and conclude that Pep Guardiola's quality has decreased so that Man City management wants a refresh. On the other hand, although many people are quite happy with Man City's current situation, this is none other than because Man City is having a bad season. Simply put, every human being must have experienced difficult times, and this season Man City is indeed facing a difficult season.

But I am sure that sooner or later they will be able to rise, they will not fall forever. Besides, one bad season will not forget their six great seasons. But on the other side, this is their chance to bring down Man City who have dominated the EPL for almost a decade.

Liverpool perhaps? Because it's the only club now with points away from second-placed Chelsea.

A Chelsea fan told me “it doesn't matter if we get the trophy this season, at least we'll be in the UCL”. That's what he's proud of now.
But don't get me wrong, the Premier League still has half a half to go anything can happen, then how Liverpool have a slump even though it's a little impossible but Chelsea's chances are still quite big now.
The important thing is Chelsea can win consistently in getting points then the competition can be tight in the future.

If Chelsea is not part of the title contenders, which club is on the list? The Blues have shown significant sign of improvement and consistency. Apart from Liverpool, there is no club that is performing better than Chelsea. Anyway everyone has their own title contenders but from the current EPL table, Chelsea is second in the list of clubs that might win the EPL this season. I am part of the people who opposed the signing of Enzo Maresca. I expected Chelsea to sign a well-known coach, but it seems he has performed above my expectations.
