Pep added a new one to the ridiculous choices he made since the beginning of the season. Sending Ilkay Gundogan off and not replacing him with a player of that style, giving up on the 3-4-2-1 after de bruyne's injury and leaving the midfield to rodri, his preference for texture, playing alverez and haaland together are moves that do not suit him at all. It's as if he got bored of success and is looking for adventure by saying "now I will play like a classic premier league team, less passing, more vertical". No one should be surprised if City don't become champions this season. Well, if things get worse in the points table, like the 2020-21 season he may change its system again and catch an abnormal series, as it did at the end of November after unsuccessful results, that is another matter.

I don't think it will go smoothly for Manchester United because Everton is a team that is clearly quite strong even though they are often in the bottom position. Moreover, Manchester United's winning record so far has always been by a narrow score, which will make it even more difficult for them to win the match against Everton later.

Liverpool looks like they have to finish the competition early with Manchester City and this is another big match after the international break and it looks like Jurgen Kloop will be a little confused about this match. Aston Villa vs Spurs also seems to be a worthy competition to compete for 4th place in the standings and with the availability of the main squad still absent from Spurs, it is likely that Aston Villa will be slightly favored to win. Arsenal vs Brentford, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this match and Mikel Arteta is certainly very confident of being able to achieve another victory in this match.

Arsenal had a good performance so far and they are in a better situation than we saw from them in the last season because even Arteta is more experienced and we should not forget that Arsenal bought many players and improved the team.
Maybe this team can have more chance than Manchester City to win the Premier League title because they even won the game against Manchester City and there is currently only one point difference between these two teams.

Varane was Man United's top choice at centec-back last season. Although Harry Maguire did not play much last season, he still maintained his form and competed for a starting position at Man United. The duo Varane - Linsandro Martinez will be the couple competing for his position. But everything has turned around as Maguire is gradually regaining form. Maguire may soon return to MU's main squad. And can push Varane to the bench. In fact, there are matches where Maguire and Varane appear together. But in those matches, the team's ability to deploy the ball was not very smooth. So, I realized one thing about Harry Maguire being unable to play with Varane. Maguire and Evans will work better together.
Maguire will have a starting spot, do you believe it? He's trying every day.

Everyone was shocked by the results of the match. Especially with the very large number of goals scored. I wouldn't be surprised if only Manchester City scored the most goals in that match. Because last season Manchester City scored 4 goals against Chelsea in the FA Cup last season. But this time I was really surprised because Chelsea was also able to respond to every goal scored by Manchester City. I think Chelsea will really have higher motivation in the upcoming matches. Because after all, being able to hold Manchester City to a draw is already quite good progress for this club. Pochettino must also be quite satisfied with this result. Because if even the strongest team can hold a draw then Chelsea should be able to win against a weak team. However, the problem is whether these 2 good results will continue or will they stop again like last season. Last season there was also a time when Chelsea won consecutive matches while Potter was still coach. But then they got worse again. I hope Pochettino can maintain the stability of his players' performance for the better. So that Chelsea remains in its best performance until the end of the season. Todd Boehly has spent a lot of money on this club. And maybe it's time for him to see the positive results of this.

Yes, I also saw the hand ball, but it must be that and no one can replace the referee's decision, I think at that moment he doubted his decision.
I hope that Chelsea's positive trend can take place and they prove that they are back, because honestly there are many Chelsea supporters who were disappointed because of the decline that occurred in Chelsea in several seasons.

I think about Cole Palmer in the match wanting to prove that he has the ability and is worthy of considering as a potential player to Pep Guardiola, and maybe he feels successfully prove that he makes Pep regret his decision for selling it.

Agree, Liverpool is quite worthy of being a challenger candidate this season. We all know that their increasingly consistent performances and having a solid squad will be very suitable to become Manchester City toughest challenger. With Mo Salah, Nunez and Jota really understanding each other, there is no need to doubt Liverpool's front line. It is possible that Liverpool will top the standings in the near future. I'm sure Liverpool is capable, the point difference is not too big so the two can continue to swap places.

Throughout the Premier League matches at the start of this season, perhaps the most exciting match in the first to second half occurred in the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. People must be the same as I thought before starting to play and think Manchester City is a team that will easily get full points. However, Pochettino was able to provide the right strategy in applying pressure. This draw is indeed very deserved, because the statistics for Chelsea and Manchester City are quite balanced. Starting from shots on target, ball control, accuracy to how to dominate the game, it is almost balanced. Pep Guardiola couldn't focus at the end because after Palmer's goal from the penalty spot, Manchester City's game mood fell apart, Palmer as the former club gave Pep a gift. Even though Chelsea was able to hold Manchester City to a draw, their respective positions did not produce results in the standings, with Chelsea still in 8th place and Manchester City firmly at the top of the standings.

Chelsea has always had this fighting spirit but I think last season that was one major factor lacking in this team, and credits must be given to Poch who’s the head coach of this wonderful team, he took lots of risk in this game in the change of Reece who was comfortable in the game and change of Moises for an attacker and you know what they say No Risk, No Reward.

 His risk earned him a 1-1 draw because Broja who was in for Moises won he penalty that was swept in by Palmer, the match was pretty entertaining and I think with the trend yesterday that will probably just be the Match of 2023/2024 EPL season, VAR check especially in the EPL is slowly losing its essence, It’s to be checked seconds after play and not more than 2 minutes.

 Imagine being rest assured you haven’t created a foul and VAR comes back to credit the foul, I think if the errors in VAR is reduced and the less time to check is adhered to, VAR would be a solid and sound improvement and addition to football at large.

Chelsea are one of the most unpredictable teams in this league. They took 1 point from Manchester City in this match, but no one can predict how they will do in the next league matches. They will play Newcastle United after the break for the national matches. I wonder if they will play the same game as they did against Manchester City. I think they will not play the same game. That's why they never give me confidence. If they become a stable team, my opinion will change. But today I don't have a good opinion about them because of their inconsistent results.

Manchester United are the only club struggling to win comfortably, they will face Everton next two weeks in the Premier League fixture. Manchester United should win even if Everton would proof stubborn.

Manchester City will be facing Liverpool
Aston Villa would be facing Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal would be up against Brentford a London Derby.

These are the next Premier League fixtures from the top six and they're really difficult to predict.

Actually, I also hope that at least more than 1 goal will be scored in this match. But it looks like Man United has not returned to their best performance. Because if they are in top form then fighting a lower ranking team like Luton will definitely be very easy for Man United. And Man United can definitely score more goals.

Apart from that, currently Chelsea seems to have really improved. Even though I lost the bet on the Man City vs Chelsea match. But I really enjoyed the match. 8 goals in one game is very rare. Moreover, this is Man City vs Chelsea. They responded to each other's goals with not too much time difference. And it looks like Chelsea's victory against Tottenham really wasn't just because Tottenham got a red card. But Chelsea has indeed improved since that match. Todd Boehly must be smiling broadly right now when he saw that his club was even able to hold the defending champions, Man City, to a draw.

Yes that's right. Chelsea's improvement is starting to be seen by spending a lot of money this season. Of course they are slowly starting to recover and hope that their fans will have to be patient with the process. In the match against Man City, Chelsea made very big progress and were able to break down Man City's defense with the quick transitions made by Chelsea players, this strategy was successful for them. If the progress made by Pochetino continues, maybe next season his game will be even better.

So I think after this match Chelsea is in high confidence. Hopefully Chelsea can rise and be consistent, so that the English Premier League competition will be even more exciting.

The 1-0 victory over Luton meant a lot for Man United. However, if we look at the level of their opponents, Man United should be able to win by more than 1 goal. So I think Man United is not doing well and they haven't shown any improvement. Man United has spent a lot of money this season, but if we look at their performance so far, it seems that Ten Hag still has a lot of homework to be done.

Remember when chelsea was always struggling in scoring even a single goal against other club. It seems this club has discovered its best performance again. Even pep has been also praising the performance from chelsea evne though the penalty was making his club failed to get three points from chelsea. That match became the best match for this week probably for the current season too.

I can't even believe how any game of chelsea is always interesting after it has been discovering its true performance again. The only main problem was on the striker owned by chelsea. Jack sometimes played bad and good depending on the situation of him. This guy is having very bad control into the ball and he was also very often in missing the ball due to the his fault.

Chelsea really needs to recruit a new striker. I have heard that if nkuku will also come soon. This is a good news caused by chelsea will have two strikers. Adding another striker will be good caused by chelsea is also being very often in changing the strategy. That's what i got after i watched the match between city vs chelsea.

This is the big six standings before the international break starts and we can see that the difference is very small from all teams except Manchester United.

This will make the competition even more exciting in the future and Manchester City as the defending champion failed to widen the gap after playing a draw against Chelsea. In fact, Liverpool is now starting to get close to being in second place in the standings, followed by Arsenal, Spurs and Aston Villa, who also don't have a big enough distance from Manchester City. It is still difficult to predict who will emerge as champions this season and every team sometimes loses consistency when they have the opportunity to widen the gap from their competitors. Well, it's worth looking forward to the results of each match after the international break and it will definitely add value to an increasingly competitive league.

surprisingly, Chelsea appearance looked very competitive and was able to withstand attacks from Man City. several times they tried to attack Chelsea defense, but Chelsea was able to respond strongly to Man City defense.
I really enjoyed yesterday match because so far I have not seen an amazing performance from chelsea even though they beat Spurs, but for me it was not a fair match because Spurs lost 2 players. actually Man City could have won with a score of 3-4 but unfortunately in the last minute there was a penalty for Chelsea which ended up having to share the score with Chelsea and I admit that yesterday Chelsea was very good.

I am rooting against City and with regret I understand that they are doing great even now - for example, if we take last season, then after 12 games played City was 2 points behind Arsenal. Now they are already in first place.
There is hope that Liverpool will beat them and the intrigue will be revived again. By the way, I heard that Klopp is outraged that the City-Liverpool game will take place on Saturday afternoon after the international break. He believes that the players will not have time to rest and prepare. And I think this is reasonable - the visiting team finds itself in very unfavorable conditions.

I watched Chelsea's performance against Manchester City. I will say Chelsea's performance impressed me. The team's performance at the beginning of the season was very poor. Especially their forward players could not perform well. But in the last two games, Chelsea have shown that their overall position has undergone a dramatic change. I wouldn't say that Chelsea dominated against Manchester City, but their overall gameplay was very good. Every player in the team performed well in his position. And against a strong team like City, they played completely attacking strategy.

Despite I'm not a fan of both teams, I watched the match because I couldn't miss it. Chelsea really played well against Manchester City, and but they lose to weak teams, I think this is an ability that Chelsea always displays. Even when they are not playing well, they still perform unexpected against strong teams; yesterday, even Sterling performed better. Since Chelsea was able to defeat Tottenham, I have noticed new changes in their game. That was also the most outstanding match I have seen this season. I wasn't expecting Chelsea to perform better than that. Chelsea's defense is usually an issue for them, but after the break, I think they'll perform better.

Will we now declare that Chelsea is performing on their best form again? Given how Chelsea played against Man City, I don't think even Manchester United will have a chance against them. If Chelsea keeps up this kind of play, I think they will continue to move up. After all, they only perform well against big clubs.

When it comes to penalty yeah it was definitely the right call there. But if we talk about the other penalty given to Haaland I can't back that call honestly. Because it is clearly seen that Haaland pulled down Cucurella's arm first and after that Cucurella did it to Haaland. I don't think that pulling should be considered as "neck and neck".

Other than that we watched a really incredible game that's for sure.    It was nice to see Chelsea seeing some good signs to recover. They have left the toughest games of the first half of the season with 4 points. I mean against Tottenham and Manchester City.
