Yeah it's not a bad performance, they're gaining momentum and to be honest I didn't believe in them at all that they could come close to these results. I wonder where they will finish this season, I think the top 5 or even 6 is already closed for them a priori, there is too much competition and it is unlikely that they will be able to get there

We can't still be sure and say if Liverpool is going to lose to win this match against Manchester City. Liverpool and Manchester City are both in the good form and they are racing at the top of the premier league. I think Manchester City can even lose points in this match but considering the recent matches are sawed from both teams I can say in the last five games Manchester City had before, they won three games and a draw and one loss while Liverpool also won three games but they had two draws.
 

A lot have changed with Chelsea in the last few games and even since the current season started, Chelsea has been in a high recovery mood that has this a lot about the club and their readiness to reclaim their lost glory this season, and Chelsea's remarkable records in the last few matches is a pointer to what we can expect from the club in the remaining weeks and months that remain for this season to get to an end, and even if Chelsea can't take the first spot, but at least there will finish this season among the top 5 top clubs for this season..
So let's see how things turn out to be for Chelsea in this season since they already started on a good note for this season.

I think the main factor in Manchester United's difficulty in being in the top 3 of the standings is a coach who does not implement a consistent strategy.

This was proven after two Manchester United players graced the list of top scorers for the 2024 European Cup qualifiers. They are Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay, who are sharp in their country but not at the club.
Both have scored seven goals. Quite an impressive record, but unfortunately, both of them ended up at MU.

It's true, the international break has given several club coaches an incredible headache because several of their main players had to be treated for injuries. Of course, this will change the game plan prepared by the manager and this is clearly a loss for them.

I can't confirm how many Liverpool and Manchester City players were injured during the international break, but I don't see many problems in Liverpool's attack heading into the game. Manchester City will certainly lose a lot if they have to get Haaland not fit, but I'm not clear what his condition will be. There are 16 Manchester City players representing their respective countries in the international break, it must be tiring ahead of the home match against Liverpool.

Yes that's right, although as we know that in the last two seasons Chelsea have had a very bad performance that makes them always experience downturns but lately it does look different from them, initially I concluded that their landslide victory against Tottenham was nothing more than just luck but when looking at the results of their match yesterday against Manchester City honestly it was really unexpected, although yes they did not win but at least it is very difficult to be able to balance the game with a team as classy and strong as Manchester City with their prestige as former defending champions and even as a team that won Trebble Winners which of course in terms of performance is no doubt.

With the results of their last two matches, maybe I will be a little hopeful or a little confident that in the next match against Newcastle it cannot be denied that the same thing can happen again. In addition, now Newcastle must focus on two leagues, namely the Premier League and also the UCL so as much as possible they must be able to balance everything, and also maybe this could be an opportunity for Chelsea to achieve good results, because on the other hand it seems that with the two leagues that are being run by Newcastle they will definitely maximize UCL and will not sharpen too much on matches in the Premier League.

Manchester City will face Liverpool in their 13th match this week. The storm of injuries is quite detrimental for Manchester City in the match against Liverpool because the team they are facing is not a weak team and of course Manchester City will need hard work to be able to beat Liverpool. I saw that Erling Haaland was also reported to be missing this match because he was injured and that was not good news for Manchester City. But looking at Manchester City game this season, of course they don't depend on any one player because the substitute players also showed quite good quality when given the opportunity to play by Pep Guardiola.

So, for the meetings in the last 5 matches between Manchester City vs Liverpool, where Manchester City bagged 2 wins and Liverpool won 3 wins. But in the Premier League match, I think Manchester City is superior enough to win the match against Liverpool. Pep will probably give some in-depth instructions for Alvarez to perform better and score goals in this match and also for Foden of course he is very sharp on the front lines when he has the ball.

Do you have a direct link from the Manchester United dressing room, you write like you have first hand information from them group chat or from a certain player in the squad. Rapheal Varane has no issues with the manager, he has only been dropped due to tactics as said by the manager.
Sancho is under contract with Manchester United, why would he go online to point and drag out the manager, how do you think Sir Alex Ferguson would have handled this situation.?

Rapheal Varane also had cases of injury, if he wants to leave that's completely fine. Just to clear you, Bayern Munich are not making direct advancees they're not jumping in for the signature.

Newcastle united are not that fit like you expected due to absence of their key players that are injured, which I think if Chelsea can play well I have hope that they will win the game. After Newcastle united win against Arsenal they are not in good performance, they loss two consecutive games both in Premier league and champions league which I see no hope for them in winning against Chelsea despite they are the one hosting Chelsea, while Chelsea are proven to be back to normal, they keep on increasing in their performance in each match for played and again they have good performance in their last five matches compared to Newcastle united previous games.

Yes, Chelsea have been impressive in their last two matches winning one and forcing draw out Manchester city so everyone expect them to do the same this weekend against a shabby Newcastle side who are not in their best form at the moment, but on the other hand one should also consider the fact that the international break just ended and there is gonna be a lot of upset as asual and anything can happen due to a lot of reason. The international break came with a lot of irregularities and as a result will impact negatively on most teams especially those with injury worries so I think everybody should expect some unusual results at the weekend.

Manchester United could not be patient with David Moyes because David Moyes was not producing the results that could make Manchester United to be competitive with other big clubs in the Premier League. Secondly, David Moyes does not have enough experience to coach Manchester United, Sir Ferguson only made David Moyes to succeed him because Sir Ferguson failed to make David Moyes his assistant manager at Manchester United.

Manchester United's situation regarding coach and player relations is heating up again. Currently it is rumoured that after Jadon Sancho was involved in a problem with Ten Hag that has not ended until now there is now the name Varane who is rumoured to be dissatisfied with the way Ten Hag's leadership at Manchester United has made the relationship between the two tenuous now.
This situation gave rise to a rumour that Varane will leave to avoid further conflict with Ten Hag and indeed this is the fastest way for him to get out of the trap of his problems (just like Ronaldo) where it is now rumoured that Varane will leave in January. This will be exploited by several clubs because there are already offers from SPL clubs to bring Varane to the oil fields and there are also offers from Bayern that have been prepared for Varane if he decides to leave.
But clearly this will be a disaster again for Manchester United especially for their defence because if in the end Varane leaves then indeed the defence has many gaps where the current situation is some of their players are also injured.

Chelsea are performing well and can defeat Newcastle, but he won't be and easy task, Newcastle have a tough game to play in the Champions League against PSG and they will like to defeat PSG in the match so that they can qualify for the next round of the Champions League. They will not compel their important players to play against Chelsea since they require that game and Chelsea are not competing in any competition other than the Premier League. They will try their hardest to overcome Newcastle with their main players, especially Jackson, who is a very gifted and skilled player who can position himself extremely well on the pitch. Chelsea is confident that they will defeat Newcastle because when Chelsea are playing with a big club they don't play. If you want to bet against Chelsea I think the best thing to do is to play away either half because I think Chelsea will win the game but to secure your risk, play away either half.

After seeing this situation, I think the matches this week will be very risky for those who want to bet. On the one hand, the international break provides a little space for managers at club level to evaluate their respective performances, but in reality some players do not return in one hundred percent fit condition. The opening match of week 13 between Manchester City versus Liverpool, although it is certain to be fierce, but Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have several names in the treatment room.

The thing that is most feared now is no longer just a decrease in performance, because it still ways to improve it. What is most frightening now is a points deduction like what happened to Everton which could make the club drop into the red zone. Various wild rumors link Manchester City to committing FFP violations, but we have not yet seen the sanctions and decisions given to them by the EPL organizers.

Yes that's right. Indeed, Newcastle was a strong team at that time, but they had been down for a long time and even almost got relegated, but after the club owner changed, Newcastle seemed to find their identity and slowly started to rise until they finally managed to qualify for the UCL last season. But unfortunately they are immediately in the hellish group so in my opinion it is very natural that they do not qualify for the group phase this season because when talking about the UCL league, experience is also very important to be able to qualify and of the four teams, only Newcastle is only in the UCL this season after dozens of They haven't played at UCL this year.

Moreover, Newcastle is facing a very busy schedule in the next three weeks, they have to meet Chelsea in the EPL, against PSG in the UCL and against Man United in the EPL. Looking at Newcastle's schedule it is almost impossible for them to focus especially as many players are injured as you said.

Chelsea last two matches very impressive, and perhaps this will make the Blues squad more confident against Newcastle. Apart from that, Chelsea also seems to have found their rhythm, because in 8 matches in all competitions the Chelsea team only one lost. This also proves that their performance already improve, so I'll probably favorite Chelsea in that match, and will bet on them.
Meanwhile, on the other side Eddie Howe may will be not too much pressure squad Newcastle to got winning against Chelsea, and in my opinion maybe they will be play safe because there is an important schedule in the UCL which requires Newcastle players to be fit.

You have a very good point on this and I think I agree with to a very large extent on this, it's very possible if he had all the time maybe he could get Manchester united to glory such that they become a very formidable force in the premier league over a good period of time.

But then time factor has always been the constrain almost every team do have with their coach especially when the season is gradually going far and it's beginning to look like they may end the season without getting much out of the season, especially with teams that have got big names such as Manchester united they will run out of patience and replace their coach, if we would wan to excuse these coaches with time I think on the long run it could turn out in the favor of the team but some times it could be detrimental aswell, just like what they are experiencing with their current coach.

Everything will not be easy because as far as I know there is a lot of pressure at Manchester United. Every coach will feel the same way because of the high demands and pressure from internal and external teams. David Moyes has the same story as several coaches after him, meaning that all the coaches who have coached Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson have failed.

Ten Hag might be better if management can put a lot of trust in him to stay. The problem is, they have to invest in a lot of expenses where the squad needed to restore the team's glory is very expensive. Ten Hag has the ability to build a middle class team like Ajax, so he still has the possibility to do it with a big team like Manchester United.

If we look at the good performance of West Ham which is currently being managed by David Moyes, of course that can be quite a worthy comparison and indeed every coach should be able to provide time for a new coach in the transition process. However, Manchester United is at a different level and every coach who comes must provide maximum results like what Sir Alex Ferguson did and I don't think that can be compared considering that Sir Alex Ferguson is also a veteran at the club.

Management shouldn't have to change coaches so often and maybe if they didn't chase results and prioritized the process, maybe since the last few seasons we could have seen Manchester United remain a fierce team in all competitions. Now to change that is too late as this club is a hotbed of problems for players and coaches alike, I'm not sure they will have a better season than last.

I would say that it is going to be hard for any team that doesn't have a huge depth, which Newcastle doesn't really have. When you are playing at FA and League and Caraboa and UCL all at the same season, that means that you are going to end up with a huge depth in order to make sure nobody is tired, if you play the same people every game, then you are going to get your players hurt and that should be as avoidable as you could possibly do.

I understand that it is not that easy, and should be something to be careful about, but Newcastle could get better next season, I doubt they will go to UCL, and if they lose at cups early on, they can focus on the league and finish top four once again, that would be to their benefit then they will need to get some bench players.
