It's not easy to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Tell me this back in the 15years ago and I would take you seriously. Steven Gerald already made sure that history was violated and it continues to be an easy win in the Stamford Bridge these days. Over the course of last month, on the 23rd September to be specific, Chelsea was beaten by Aston Villa by a single goal at the Stamford bridge. I don’t see Chelsea posing much challenge for a top team and even, Arsenal at this point. Worst case is, Arteta has got his chance to be ahead of Manchester City once more in this season, you wouldn’t expect him not to take his chances with Chelsea to build on his point gap but, I’ll love to see Chelsea try as to not let that happen. Maybe to get a point from the game at least but, if Chelsea could win over the weekend, I doubt that.

It is very possible, Arsenal is in high confidence after winning the match against Manchester City and also Arsenal's performance is quite impressive this season so it is possible that they can win the match against Chelsea next weekend with a convincing score even though the match is played at Chelsea's home ground.
I think it is quite reasonable that Arsenal are the favorites in this match because the performance/quality of the Chelsea team is far below Arsenal.
I also have no doubts that Arsenal can achieve a convincing victory in this match.
Arsenal really wants to win a lot at home to Chelsea this week, because Arsenal wants to beat Tottenham, who are currently at the top of the standings with points that are no different from Arsenal. But in the next match, both Arsenal and Tottenham will both face opponents whose strength is far below theirs, and Tottenham will also try to win more at home when they face Fulham, who is currently in 12th position in the standings with the same points as Chelsea.I think it is quite reasonable that Arsenal are the favorites in this match because the performance/quality of the Chelsea team is far below Arsenal.
I also have no doubts that Arsenal can achieve a convincing victory in this match.
It's not just Arsenal who want to win, Chelsea is also definitely aiming for victory to catch up with them at the top of the standings. This week's London derby will be a super big match. It's worth the wait.
I have been thinking about the drop in Haaland's form recently. First of all it is totally normal for any player of course. I have been just thinking about whether there could be a special reason affecting it as well. De Bruyne's absence came to my mind after that. The reason why is that there was a great relationship between these two players. 
De Bruyne was sending a lot of balls to Haaland to make him more active and effective in the attacking line. You know how great De Bruyne can pass the balls to his teammates. He is like a magician. I hope that Haaland can reach his usual level sooner or later. I'm still contented with his goal effort so far of course. But I would like to see him doing good during the full season as well.
However, even though Haaland has had a slight decline, he is still the most productive player in scoring goals in the Premier League. Because even now Haaland is still the temporary top scorer this season because he has scored 8 goals this season. Last season, Haaland was much more productive, but even this season, Haaland's performance is still good. The difference is that Haaland is now always more closely guarded by opponents. Because all opponents must realize that it is very dangerous if Haaland is left without tight guard. Because he can be an unstoppable goal scoring machine if the opponent is careless. De Bruyne is an important figure who always helps supply the ball to the attack line very well. But it's a shame because the injury was bad enough that he needed a recovery time of around 4 months. Maybe December or January before he will fully recover. De Bruyne was sending a lot of balls to Haaland to make him more active and effective in the attacking line.

Haaland is more of a finisher of a good pass than he is at any other thing else that's why it looks like he's dormant. And his inaction is being noticed especially now as De bruyne is out. Is it safe to call him a flop buy? I feel so because asides from scoring, there's not much Haaland brings to the team. How so? Imagine a game where he's locked by the opponents defense, there's little else Haaland does other than running sluggishly round the field looking for a pass. He doesn't hunt for his goals like Jullian Alvarez or Foden does.De Bruyne was sending a lot of balls to Haaland to make him more active and effective in the attacking line.

When the midfielders can't flow the ball well then this will be a problem for Haaland because he becomes closed and confused when the ball is not flowing well so this has an impact now when Manchester City lost several players like KDB and Rodri he became stuck and had difficulty gaining momentum.

And it was yet another goalless night for Manchester Citys number 9. He still wasn't with a goal as they went on to lose to Spain with the only goal coming from Gavi.
Kevin De Brunye had his effects too but not just him. Jack Grealish played important roles for Erling Haaland last season, dribbling, creating chances for Erling Haaland alongside the others.
He found it worrying as he wasn't scoring but few games later, you'll see how he handles himself, supporting and assisting,that made him a better player last season.
Asides him, Jaoa Cancelo and IIkay Gundogan, Mahrez also shouldn't be forgotten. All these players were core spines to Pep Josep Guardiola's team.

Casimero has not been at his best this season, so the Manchester United coach should be able to cope without him in a few games.
Currently Casemiro is one of the best defensive midfielders that Manchester United has, his presence in Manchester United's midfield has helped the team a lot in terms of defending and repelling opponent attacks. He also often assisted in attacks and scored several goals, he was still able to give his best performance even though his teammates often made blunders in several matches which resulted in Manchester United achieving bad results. The main problem with Manchester United's poor performance this season does not lie with a few players, it is the coach who is responsible for not being able to develop a strategy that makes the players feel comfortable when maintaining their respective positions. 
In the upcoming match, Liverpool will host Everton, precisely in week 9 of the Premier League this season. Liverpool in the last 2 matches they had to swallow negative results by accepting 1 defeat and 1 draw, obviously it was not good after they recorded a series of consecutive wins. Everton, although they won 2 times in their last 3 matches, but it was their first 2 wins this season out of 8 matches they have played. Statistically Liverpool are better, and in terms of strength Liverpool are stronger than Everton, an opportunity for them to record another victory after the last 2 weeks they could not get it.
Although this is a Merseyside Derby but obviously, that Liverpool and Everton have qualities that I think are much different. So yes, because this is a Merseyside Derby then I think, their previous match results will not be able to guarantee anything. Because usually, when they play in the derby match at least quite often also the not seeded team can play better in the derby match . But for the match between Liverpool against Everton, in essence I remain confident that Liverpool will continue their winning trend in this Merseyside Derby.
It is difficult for Everton to improve their meeting record, but it does not rule out the possibility that they can also do that.
Without Kevin De Bruyne, it is very difficult to keep the performance stable. But it is not impossible. Last season we saw consistent good performances from City. The team has consistently played well in the Champions League and Premier League and won the title. However, the City midfielder will not be with the best player squad this season. City's performance is likely to be erratic. But coach Guardiola is experienced. He may now employ a different match strategy to stabilize City's performance. But it will be very difficult for City. Kevin De Bruyne has been with City for a long time. Kevin De Bruyne has been with City since 2014 if I'm not mistaken. So it will be very difficult to fill the void of Kevin De Bruyne.
Exactly. Indeed, we cannot deny that de Bruyne's influence and contribution to Man City is huge. He is a player who can be said to be the brains of Man City's game. Indeed, his contribution is quite essential. So without his presence, i i would certainly have quite an influence on the Club. Moreover, the injury he suffered was serious enough that he had to be absent for quite a long time. Currently, Pep is certainly not giving up on making Man City stable again. However, de Bruyne's position and contribution cannot yet be optimally replaced.If de Bruyne is unlikely to be in the squad this season, Guardiola will surely have a different plan. He might come up with a change in his entire match strategy and formation. Manchester City's performance is understandably slow now. They have also lost their last two Premier League matches. So now it is very important for Guardiola to bring changes in the match strategy. There are also rumors that Guardiola wants to bring Toni Kroos from Real Madrid in next winter transfer. Toni Kroos could be a worthy replacement for de Bruyne.
We all saw the decline in Manchester City's performance after losing 2 players Rodri and de Bruyne which made the club's last match very bad, losing to Arsenal.
After the transfer market opens, we will see many changes in Manchester City players, while the last transfer market did not bring in many new players and in the future Guardiola has many options to bring in players who can help strengthen Manchester City's performance.
Casimero has not been at his best this season, so the Manchester United coach should be able to cope without him in a few games.
It's crazy if you think Casemiro not at his best in this season, he's always be the best defensive midfielder that Manchester United currently have. If Casemiro isn't playing, with such poor defenders and poor coach, Manchester United will get scored many goals from other teams.Chelsea against Arsenal and Manchester City against Brighton are the matches that I am most looking forward to in this case because I think it will be very interesting even though in the end I will be in the Arsenal and Manchester City camp but I think Brighton and Chelsea will definitely give a good fight in this match.
Both Chelsea and Brighton are in a bad form, I don't think they can able to give a good fight against those two big teams. It is very possible, Arsenal is in high confidence after winning the match against Manchester City and also Arsenal's performance is quite impressive this season so it is possible that they can win the match against Chelsea next weekend with a convincing score even though the match is played at Chelsea's home ground.
I think it is quite reasonable that Arsenal are the favorites in this match because the performance/quality of the Chelsea team is far below Arsenal.
I also have no doubts that Arsenal can achieve a convincing victory in this match.
Arsenal really wants to win a lot at home to Chelsea this week, because Arsenal wants to beat Tottenham, who are currently at the top of the standings with points that are no different from Arsenal. But in the next match, both Arsenal and Tottenham will both face opponents whose strength is far below theirs, and Tottenham will also try to win more at home when they face Fulham, who is currently in 12th position in the standings with the same points as Chelsea. I think it is quite reasonable that Arsenal are the favorites in this match because the performance/quality of the Chelsea team is far below Arsenal.
I also have no doubts that Arsenal can achieve a convincing victory in this match.
If Manchester City really hire this German palyer they can have the best option they can have for Gundogan. Because after Gundogan left the team, Manchester City couldn't find alternative players and now Toni Kross is experienced just like Gundogan to fill his palace if the middle of the field also hiring Kross can't be hard because he is not very happy in real MArid because of not having enough chances during this season, maybe even Rel AMdrid will release him easily for Manchester City in the next transfer window.
Manchester City already has a squad that is star-studded but has somehow suffered this season because of injury crises and the acquisition of Toni Kroos will provide Manager Pep Guardiola with more lethal midfield options to chose from when they're facing any opposition.
Man City tries to lure Toni Kroos to Etihad Stadium next summer, offering to double his salary after his contract expires at Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola is determined to recruit him to fill the void left by Gundogan. Toni Kroos has had 9 years of brilliant success at the Bernabeu. In case Kroos's contract with Real expires, he can retire. Therefore, Man City needs to wait and see if Kroos changes his decision or not. Although Kroos will turn 34 next year, that does not diminish his appeal. Teams in MLS and Saudi Arabia will also get involved in the hope of getting the signature of this talented midfielder.
Manchester City has taken an interest in signing Toni Kroos:
Manchester City appear to be looking for a veteran presence to replace Ilkay Gundogan in midfield. Spanish outlet Defensa Central reports that Real Madrid is targeting Toni Kroos as a free agent in 2024.
His contract at Madrid expires next June, and his age means he could negotiate with clubs outside Spain when the January window opens; if City join, they can offer a pre-contract deal to see him move to Manchester once his current contract expires.Kroos fended off interest from clubs in the United States and Saudi Arabia in the summer before signing a new one-year deal with Real Madrid, but that decision is likely to be tested by Manchester City afterwards. The same report in Spain suggests City is willing to offer Real Madrid a two-year contract for twice the current salary of £6.8 million.
What do you think, guys? Is that really happening, or is it just a rumor? Give us your thoughts.

Kross was one of Real Madrid's best midfielders but has been forced to sit on the bench due to Real Madrid signing a number of young midfielders, which may certainly interest him in a move to Manchester City.
It is better to perform in a relatively small team than to warm the bench for a big team.

De Bruyne has helped Manchester city to achieved so many titles that made the team the best in the premier league and UEFA champions league competition that made their coach to love him more than other players in the team . Truly De Bruyne absence has caused Manchester city little negative change which their coach need to do something fast to help the team to recover from the two matches they experienced defeat from their opponent, because their position in the premier league table has be dropped down and their points also. I believe, Erling Haaland is doing a great work to help the team to achieved victory in some matches despite the absence of some of their potential players in the team but he still prove to fans in a positive way.
I've said this for a while: De Bruyne's magic on the field is what made Manchester City so great. You can tell when he's not there, right? The medals, the fame, and the wins in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League are mostly his fault. It makes sense that their boss likes him. I get that every team has bad days and good days, but those last two losses? OuchWithout a question, Haaland is a monster. He's been shining bright even when some of the other key players aren't there. But can he do what De Bruyne did? I'm not sure about that. The song isn't the same without the lead guitarist in a rock band
It makes sense, no matter how good Haaland is as we know he can always be a scoring monster but still it will not mean much if there is no one who is able to accompany him or provide some opportunities that he can use to become a goal. Honestly, I'm not going to compare each player because they're all great in their own right and yes, when one of them is absent it's pretty clear that at least there will be difficulties.

Chelsea is not winning against Arsenal. I am pretty confident about Arsenal winning this match. Chelsea has been able to win two matches in a row, but this is going to bring an end to their winning streak. Arsenal is definitely competing for the English Premier League title. And they are not going to let things go easily at all. I am pretty sure that they are going to win against Chelsea, the bigger question is about how many goals. I predict it is going to be something like 2–0 at least. I believe that is going to be the list goal difference between Chelsea and Arsenal and it is going to be in favour of Arsenal for sure.
Arsenal is now on a good run, I think that they will play with a positive attitude because they managed to beat City, but City is experiencing some kind of decline, perhaps this is a temporary phenomenon. Chelsea won two victories, but not against the strongest opponents, so it is too early to say whether the team has started to win. Of course, Arsenal look like favorites in this derby, but if the match ends in a draw, it will not be a surprise to me.
Although Manchester City experienced a decline in performance due to the absence of De Bruyne but still, the quality between Manchester City when compared to Chelsea is clear. That Manchester City still has better quality than Chelsea, and Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City too. Therefore, I personally remain confident that Arsenal will succeed in defeating Chelsea in the next match. Also, I personally really don't care about the two consecutive wins Chelsea got, because basically the opponents Chelsea faced were also not the top team so it was natural that Chelsea managed to get two consecutive wins against mediocre teams like that.
Agreements with all said. Arsenal with a win or draw would be a safe bet. I considered it at some point yet, little doubts jumped in. I've heard about Nkuku and Reece James ( Captain of Chelsea ) both retuning to training personally.
Will they be ready? That I'm not sure. Still, if they play against Arsenal, would they be match fit for the game? No right?
Manchester City lacked Kevin De Bruyne but still did well with Gundogan besides Bernado Silva and Rodri. During the finals, this was the same thing that happened. They didn't get it easy.
Arsenal for the win this weekend though and same goes with Tottenham Hotspur. No longer a draw result.

Midfielder is crucial position in one game play, there are have controlling with attacking and defense, to get better performance Manchester City must sign Toni Kroos and we will help Haaland get touch for scoring goals again.
Toni Kroos can adequately replace the and fill the space for De Bruyne. Even when De Bruyne returns, It will not be a good plan to keep using him to play in every game since there will always be the chance that his injury reoccurs. Alternating roles between him and Kroos if he comes will be good. Foden tried to fill the shoes of De Bruyne so Pep does not search for a new player for that role, but it has not worked.Now Manchester United is faced with a difficult situation because they don't have a good defensive midfielder like Casemiro, but it looks like Erik ten Hag will rotate his players again this time and Amrabat will likely replace Casemiro who is injured in the next match. Against Sheffield in the EPL and Copenhagen in the UCL are 3 important points that Manchester United must secure.
Casimero has not been at his best this season, so the Manchester United coach should be able to cope without him in a few games. Jump to:
