Of course Manchester City has a chance but it won't be easy because Liverpool also don't want their struggle to end in vain, we know the two teams are the most worthy to get the Premier League title but so far Liverpool can still maintain it, the only lack of Liverpool is draw more often so far Liverpool have drawn 6 times this means they have missed 12 points and as a champion candidate, of course this can disturb them.

I know that's true, but how long will Chelsea management have to be patient with uncertainty like now?
I think Chelsea management has to do something to get this team back on track and back to being competitive at the top, but now everything is very different. Chelsea is weak in many positions, even many players who previously played well in their previous teams failed to get their best form with Chelsea.

I'm not saying this is one or two people's fault, but everyone has to take responsibility for the poor mentality so far. Chelsea is like a team that has lost its mentality and finds it difficult in many matches. They are no longer a competitive team in the Premier League, this is clearly strange and hard to believe. They need a productive striker, they also need a creative midfielder, but it is still difficult for them to have all of that. Maybe Pochettino has time to build a team gradually, but a team built with the power of money always expects quick and instant improvements.

Martial contract will end in June 2024 and Man United management wants to encourage him to leave Old Trafford, reportedly United are reluctant to activate a contract extension for another year. Martial performance is very far from standard, I think Ten Hag will still prioritize Hojlund as the main choice, even though we know the former Atalanta is no better than Martial. If Martial stays until the end of his contract, with United management not offering him a new contract, then the striker has the potential to leave on a free transfer in June.

United certainly don't want this to happen, because after all they want the benefits from Martial transfer. There are similarities with Maguire story last summer, who was also pressured to leave Old Trafford. The fact that Ten Hag is giving him more playing time again due to the central defender crisis, perhaps Martial will compete with Hojlund for regular playing minutes in the second half of the season.

Now things like that can no longer be discussed because Poche has released at the beginning of the season so he must already know the consequences that will be faced especially by looking at the current situation and from Chelsea's history for striker problems they have always struggled because those who always shine sometimes are only attacking midfielders and their strikers die after the Drogba era until now no one has really been able to replace that position.

At the moment Palmer is sometimes always a good option but expecting always Palmer also cannot be a good thing because on several occasions he also still cannot appear consistent even though his performance is very good so that the brain spin especially for the attack line which is still very much to be improved by Pochettino until now still cannot be done well so he must try even harder now.

I haven’t been a good fan of Manchester United and not this season most especially but, they haven’t been that bad to be sincere. Although, we can say they’ve been very inconsistent and that’s relative to most of the EPL teams of late. Manchester United however have got some good result with mid tier teams but, it’s not often the case when you see them facing some elite teams except, the fantastic result they had against Liverpool. I think that has been one of their best game in recent time. Still, it’s not a team to take a bet on due to there inconsistency.

Manchester City… well, Manchester City haven’t been meeting up with expectations lately. Little ups and down in the team as, they can underperform even in what is expected to be their best game. Maybe they would explore the opportunity to gain in on lost points now but, naaahhh, they’ve not been so great as well.

Man City has a very big chance to take number 1 in the EPL standings from Liverpool because several of its core players have returned, such as De Bruyne. This is important capital for Man City to collect winning points in the upcoming matches.
Yes, as we know, De Bruyne and Haaland were a deadly combination last season so Haaland was able to become the top scorer. Even though he is a new recruit, he is already able to get along with his teammates.
Like it or not, Liverpool must be able to continue to maintain its standings in order to win the EPL championship this season.

Manchester United is a no go area for me in terms of betting, this club has really made me loose money, i would rather play a game against Manchester united because the team is in a bad condition and their defense is very poor.

Right now my favorite team to bet on is funny enough Manchester city this team has a great chance to winning the English premier league.

Chelsea attitude to football has been very much frustrating, they've been behind average in their performance and it's bad because they've at the beginning of the season spent a whole lot on acquisition of new set of players who were believed to be world class and then have slacked in proving their worth. The coach on his part seems lost in his duties as he's not been able to act rightly. He should be able to know where his team and players are doing wrong and fix them up. If he's got some bunch of errors in his duties then there's no way the team would go without having errors too.

 Chelsea before now were a good team in the hands of good coaches. It's sad to admit that Pochettino wasn't actually the man for the job. We have good players but all we need is the right combo which Pochettino has failed to establish and make consistent. We're far behind on the table and in our current situation, it'll be so hard to catch up. It's difficult to hope on them coming back up and it's a shame that we're at the position we are even with the players we've had in the team.

Exactly. This is Jackson’s first season in the EPL. We have seen a lot of strikers come to the EPL and have shown a very poor stats compared to what Jackson has so far. At least he has managed to score seven league goals for this struggling Chelsea side. I know he’s has been widely criticised for missing a number of big chances and his struggles in front of goal but he is a good player and i think we should give him time. How many strikers are able to score the number of goals he has in their first season in a team like Chelsea.

I’m seeing some positives from his game even though there are not lit stats. He has admitted that he needs to score more goals after being brought in from Villarreal to lead Chelsea's front line. I’m also thinking that pochettino would help him. He has a strong track record of taking young players under his wing, giving them responsibility, and helping them to thrive.

But sometimes Martial himself is reluctant to leave Manchester United, perhaps the reason is because of his decent salary even though he rarely gets playing minutes. I think if a player is hungry to get a first place then he will try to leave no matter what, but what we see from Martial is an endless decline. Maybe if he was aware and also prioritized his career then he should leave without having to be reminded by those closest to him.

Now we can know Martial's mindset, he can be said to be a senior player at the club and has experience under several Manchester United coaches until now led by Erik Ten Hag. I wonder how long he felt bored and finally chose to leave. Sancho, after several months without clarity, chose to leave first.

Don't fall for that strategy Napoli made so they could sell him for a huge fee whenever he finally decides to leave Napoli and I believe he'll do that considering all of the heat and disrespect he's already had this season.
He needs Chelsea and they need him, the players they have are both gamblers and can't contribute to the success of Chelsea very well.

This is just the first few weeks for Christopher Nkuku with Chelsea and somebody be expecting too much from him? Besides the few games he's already played he did well and has also scored a goal.

Romelu Lukaku? Laughable honestly... We'll see how that goes but I don't see him returning back to Chelsea. He'll be sokd ofd completely.

Liverpool are in good form this season, and I believe Liverpool will still defeat Fulham at home, because I don't think Fulham are strong enough to compete with Liverpool this season, because Liverpool miss M sallah, which is why Liverpool can't score many goals in the match, they miss their goal machine, I think Klopp will try and secure the one goal lead in the Fulham home, because I believe Fulham will be very prepared for them, They will have the home advantage and the opportunity to defeat them. If you want to bet on Liverpool vs Fulham, it would be advisable to stake the game. Goal goal because I believe Fulham will try to score because they are playing at home, and Liverpool will undoubtedly score goal, the game cannot conclude in a draw they must be a winner.

Burnley vs Luton Town game tomorrow and, it will not going to be a tough game since we know Luton Town as a weak team in this season because, Burnley players has put more effort to come up to this current position they are in the table and it will give people courage to bet for the favour of Burnley.

Well, some time the teams that enter relegation always make some shocking results to stop their opponent not to take victory but I don't think such thing will happen in the home of Burnley and they will take charge of this game to secure 2 goals to beat Luton Town 2:0 to move higher in the premier league table.

Victor Osimhen could not make any decision because he had renewed his contract with Napoli if he has to move to Chelsea then it must be a decision of Napoli instead of Osimhen and somehow I'm not sure Napoli release this one player because they really need Osimhen in the team. Chelsea don't need to rush to find new players in this transfer window because only a few options are available while players will choose to continue the competition until the end of the season and Chelsea also have to wait until the end of the season, In addition, Osimhen's performance this season is not too impressive I even thought Lukaku and Osimhen were at the same level so instead of bringing Osimhen better to bring in Lukaku back to home.

If I'm not mistaken, instead of leaving but Osimhen actually extended his contract at Napoli. If that really happens then yes, I think Osimhen prefers to stay at Napoli instead of leaving. Obviously, such a choice is an inappropriate choice for Osimhen to stay at Napoli because yes, basically Napoli do not always consistently compete in the title race and thus, then of course it would be better to leave. But yes, about the bad trend experienced by Chelsea over the past few seasons, it seems to be a difficult job for anyone Chelsea coach. Because yes, from several coach changes made by Chelsea, but in reality Chelsea still failed to recover. Therefore, I am not sure the problems Chelsea are experiencing are only with the players mentioned, because in reality Chelsea are still failing as a whole.

One match I think is not really enough to prove that Klopp can be fine because the midfield without Endo and the Wings without Salah in the schedule that will indeed be faced is quite dense and lost for several matches then it could be a little difficult for them, although indeed the match against Arsenal was very good but in the end we can also see the gap because without Salah on the side of the field they are a little confused because they only flow the ball to Diaz on the opposite side as a driving force for Liverpool's attack.

Currently the EPL has not yet started and honestly I still want to see what Liverpool will do when facing the pace of the EPL because in my opinion for the FA Cup and League Cup it is only a side to hone the formation of the players before the EPL starts.

Whoever the striker is somehow when playing with Chelsea sometimes the striker cannot play well and Jackson is one of the many attacking players who cannot play well and have good performance at Chelsea.

At the moment, Nkunku is also still unplayable as he has a problem in his foot although it is said to be mild but he will be in the healing room for about 2 or 3 weeks which leaves Chelsea with no other option but to continue to force Jackson in their attack.

Nicolas Jackson, Amando Broja and Christopher Nkunku failed to meet Chelsea expectations and needs in terms of increasing goal productivity. These three players are very far from everyone expectations, the presence of these three players does not increase Chelsea chances in every match they play. For the second time Nkunku had to return to the treatment room due to injury problems, so Pochettino should look for a new striker who is mature and experienced. Even though the three Chelsea strikers did not fail completely, in my opinion they could not do much to bring Chelsea to finish in the top four of the standings when the season ended.

It was a calculated risk for Pochettino to release most of his experienced players in one transfer window, such as Lukaku. Then building a dream squad filled with potential young players is certainly not wrong for a long-term investment, but fans have to patiently wait for the Chelsea squad to mature in the next few seasons, without any guarantee of getting a trophy. Pochettino is clearly under pressure from club officials, but has not changed his principles towards Pochettino, where they really believe in the performance of the Argentine coach in the future. This is in line with the budget given to Pochettino in the transfer market last summer, and I don't think the club officials will fire him too quickly.

I can beat my chest and say that right now, the Gunners are are not fit to be compared with Fulham. Arsenal just know how to kill the hopes of fans and see the way Fulham played Liverpool last night, nearly frustrating Jurgen Klopp's men, I doubt Arsenal can do that and it was even at Anfield. Even though they lost, they showed Liverpool that they are just a team and nothing else. I also feel if they had continued to match pass for pass, shot for shot, they would have won the game by two goals instead of having it being turned against them.
 We are slowly seeing Liverpool returning to that habit of coming from behind to win games but they will have to do better if they hope to win games. I mean you can't keep hoping to win a game by that pattern, what if your luck runs out? I'm very curious for how the second leg will look like.

Who would that top nine be that's the question.  I don't know whether Chelsea's management would be going with Victor Osimhen to have him sign into the Chelsea squad since one of Chelsea's African legends "Drogba'' has advised Osimhen to come to Chelsea to make himself more known to the world.
We don't know if he would accept the offer to leave Napoli for Chelsea in this January transfer window. Fingers crossed anyway, in whatever decision he would like to take "to come to Chelsea or remain in Napoli"

Chelsea needs a center forward who has more quality, is established and can be relied on. if Phoce only relies on Nicolas Jackson as their goal getter, they will find it difficult to achieve their targets this season. I'm not saying that Nicolas Jackson is a sticker who lacks potential, but it seems that Chelsea needs a truly established player in their attack line. Meanwhile for Nicolas Jackson, maybe he needs adaptation and more flying hours to reach his level of play. after all, Nicolas Jackson is a young player, so there is still plenty of time to develop his talent.

At the same time, Poche needs more than that so that his squad can be consistent and win lots of wins. plus, achieved something they targeted this season. at least, Chelsea is one of the elite teams in the Premier League and it seems like finishing in the top four is their target. To be honest, I don't watch Chelsea games that often. however, referring to the statistics for each match, their performance is really unstable. IMO, Chelsea actually has several players who have quality and can be relied on, but not all of them. moreover, Chelsea is currently dominated by young players, at least they need established players. plus, Poche must try and find ways for his team to improve its performance. if not, his position as Chelsea coach will be at stake.
