Chelsea are going to host Aston Villa in their next game. Chelsea are favoured quite much by bookmakers but I don't have the same idea with them. Because there is literally no reason for this gap of odds. What is the reasoning in the first place? Aston Villa have started the season much better than them.
Before every Chelsea game, I believe the bookmakers have a bigger expectation of them defeating the next team. This could be due to Chelsea's squad depth and the number of talented players on the club. Chelsea lost to Bournemouth in their last encounter despite having more possessions and shots on goal than them, perhaps they were just unlucky, and bookmakers will give them a better chance of winning the next match against Aston Villa.
Only 5 games, there are still 33 games in the EPL. Last season Ten Hag made good progress. But this season he started with a difficult problem. Injuries, technicalities, and incompatibility issues with players. There is no end, Man United was a great team in those days, and these decades Man United struggled and always had problems that have not been exhausted until today. Although Man United is still better than Chelsea, who used a lot of money to buy players. But I'm not very happy with their transfer policy this season either. They spend too much money on players who are not too good.
I get pissed off when people compare Manchester United to Chelsea because Manchester United knows what their problem is and is already working to fix it. Even though Chelsea is aware of the problem, no progress has been made to effect the essential change. They keep losing to minor teams, how will they finish the season in a good position to even qualify for the Champions League? I seriously doubt it. They must wake up now and do what is necessary before it is too late.
