This week isn't interesting, all big teams met small teams.

But I don't know why Chelsea and Manchester United aren't heavy favorite in their respective match, I don't see any chance either Leicester City or Ipswich Town will win. I would bet parlay Chelsea and Manchester United to win.






Chelsea and Manchester United have away games. So, they were not heavily favored to win. But, their odds are low enough to suggest they will take three points from their opponents soon.

I doubt Chelsea can beat Leicester City. Chelsea is in the top 3. They have a good GD and played well. Meanwhile, Leicester City has been so terrible this season, conceded 21, and scored 14. It's obvious Chelsea is gonna take three points.

As for Manchester United, I'm not expecting much from Manchester United. It's because the game against Ipswich is gonna be Amorim's first. His team may struggle to adapt to his style.
Chelsea football team performance is best in last matches and we saw that team players in excellent form .  We saw second last match of Chelsea football team which they played against Noah and they made that match one sided and that team showed they are one of the best team  of this tournament. Félix is in good form and that can play also well in next match which they will play against Leicester City  football team . That team lose 3 matches out of 4 matches which shows that that team is under confident and Chelsea favorite for that match.Man United last match performance was outclass which they played against Leicester City  and   Man United made that match one sided by doing 3 goals in this match and Man United has good position on points table.

I agree with you on that. The reason is that Manchester City are a big team with a winning mentality, they have  maintain their position as the league champions for four seasons straight. It’s not easy to overthrow such a team. I believe teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United will only be able to dominate the league when Pep Guardiola is no longer coaching Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has extended his contract with Manchester City which means we will be seeing him stay in the EPL a little longer.
Obviously, there is no doubting that Manchester City in particular, and Pep Guardiola in general, have set the benchmark incredibly high within this league, but this can only, once again, be seen as motivation for other competing teams to explore ways in which they can augment their abilities and strengths. However, if all the ingredients for corporate governance are properly applied, it will not be impossible for Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United to regain competitiveness.

Here, we do not have to wait for Guardiola to step out to look for changes because every season presents a new disruptive model of overturning the existing dominance in order to write a new success story. The key thing that has to be formed is the team which is quite talented but has also to be a team with good team work and spirit in particular accepting all sorts of big challenges like playing against Manchester City.

De Bruyne's influence is very big for Man City, however, he is Man City's key playman,
He is a player who controls the rhythm of the game and at the same time a midfielder who always provides accurate passes to the striker so losing him must have a big impact on the attacks built by Manchester City.
Yes, Pep just needs to set their performance again and make the team much more ready and solid. He might have some homework to do regarding the injured main players. But fortunately, even this time, their defenders are back from injury. So, things should be much better for Man City.

Now, we are heading to watch this week matches to start.
We are really looking forward to the next match, after a long break.

One thing about the Citizens is that no matter how they struggle to get back to winning ways you can never see the coach or any of the players coming on air to say this is why they're having issues or because of too much fixtures that's why, no you can't hear such complain from them, they'll try as much as they can to not let people see much of their frustration, Pep has given these guys that idea of always maintaining their cool while on air.
Before either Chelsea or Arsenal can take over from City completely in dominating the league I think that will be when Pep Guardiola is no longer with the Citizens, even when he's no longer their other teams will step up too to compete for the title, is not only City who can make the EPL hard for other teams, every season we see how some of the smaller clubs get transformed to be at their best so is going to be a long ride for the big 6 to always be at the top.

Pep Guardiola has extended his contract with Manchester City which means we will be seeing him stay in the EPL a little longer.

I also feel another reason why Pep extended his contract is because he wants to have a feel of some of the teams that made him lose point and also the new managers who are coming to the EPL. And he also said they shouldn't ask him why he added 2yrs to his contract, maybe because of the 4 games he lost in a row that's why he's staying he said. But I feel this man wants to set the team to be as deadly as it were before leaving the club because as it is the club is gradually fading away which to him is going to be bad if he leaves, so staying to fix things is the best.

You’re right, the big teams are playing relatively smaller teams in the next round of the EPL fixtures. I don’t know about you but I am sure glad that the International break is over and we can return to club football. Because of their poor performance in recent years, Chelsea and Manchester United have both lost their rep in the EPL, though I these teams still possess the quality and experience to win games. I can bet on Manchester United and Chelsea to win their matches tomorrow.

Arsenal are not doing great though; they are now sharing the same point with Chelsea in the table. Also Chelsea are doing great this season. I can see that Arsenal are still finding it difficult to keep their consistency this season again. They are not even doing something serious that will convince us, like last season when they were at the top, and we were thinking they would get the title at the beginning of the last season. This season they are not even the top 3 in the table this season. We can’t decide now. Let's continue watching them. Maybe they will get back their consistency.
Honestly the way Arsenal performance is moving on all this while we’re not happy with that, because over pass three years now this how their performance is going on; they can start their the season with strong performances but at the end of day they will of disappointed their fans. Imagine the Arsenal team is now sharing the same points with Chelsea in the table; Chelsea that just improved their performances in few days back are about to come and take over position from Arsenal.

This is right time for Arsenal to buckle up, if they want Chelsea to take over their position from them, yeah is true that Arsenal consistency is not moving straight forward that’s the main difficulty things that they was facing all this while. But nevertheless I have confidence on them that; if they come back from this mid break they will bring positive energy that will keep their consistency stability.

Isn’t it too early to count Arsenal out of the title contenders?
I think we need to see how strong Arsenal will start after this international brake because their creative midfielder is back from injury and most of the first team players are also back from injury; I think this is the right time for Arsenal to start their season proper because they really need to prove people that don’t believe in the wrong by going like ten winning streak.

I think with what have happened over the last two years with Arsenal blowing up a 8 to 12 points gap even with the squad they have then I don’t think they can actually cover up the 9 points now easily most especially the growing injury list to first team players they will find it hard to win those matches consistently, they currently might have The Odegaard back but reports had it that Trossard and Ben White are still injured which is definitely going to affect their performance. Although this doesn’t mean Arsenal are out totally but with the current situations on ground I will leave my predictions as it is now.

Amorim is a new hope amidst the uncertainty experienced by MU in the Ten Hag era, he has shown his quality with Sporting and that is very impressive in my opinion, especially after he managed to beat Man City with a landslide score of 4-1. Amorim arrival is expected to be a boon for MU, he also began to formulate plans to take his team in a better direction by trying to bring in Sporting trio Gonçalo Inácio, Ousmane Diomande and Viktor Gyökeres to join him in the upcoming summer transfer market. MU is also trying to bring in Osimhen by giving €30 million + Zirkzee to Napoli, if all these plans succeed, then a new challenger will emerge in the hunt for the championship title.

Yes, you are right. I believe Amorim represents a new hope for Manchester United, he’s like GothamUnited’s very own Batman. In light of their recent struggles, it will be great if Amorim is able to replicate his success at Sporting CP at Manchester United. The club should support him if he wants to bring in Ousmane Diomande, Viktor Gyökeres and Gonçalo Inácio as it will be an excellent addition to the team. Manchester United's reported plans to offer €30 million plus Zirkzee for Victor Osimhen could really strengthen the squad.

Basically, what Chelsea did in the last two decades has nothing to do with right now, or previous few years. They did win an UCL with Tuchel, that was the last time they were good, since then they have been having trouble and since the takeover from Todd, all they did was increase the asset count, as in get more players. They have like 40+ players, which they need to sell nearly half of, so it didn't look that great.

Chelsea having almost four to players playing each position in their squad was really not appealing and they needed to have sold most of them. I see that they use that for business a lot and that is why they’ve the larger number of players on loan than any other team. This is ridiculous and even after Todd took over, it still remained the same thing for the team as we saw him bought more and more players into the club that they don’t need for now to be utilized in the squad. I heard they have a two starting team eleven this season, one for the premier league and the other one for the remaining competitions they’re participating in this season.

Quote
I still think Chelsea is nowhere even remotely close to City, and Liverpool has been doing great this season as well, normally Arsenal was a lot better, but Arsenal had some serious injury trouble this season so they became a bit worse. I do not think it's mockery to compare Chelsea if you look at history, but if you look at this season alone, then Arsenal is the only decent one there.

Comparing Chelsea to Manchester City this season is uncalled for, because Manchester City have been the better team for like five seasons now and Chelsea are no where to be found in terms of great performance expected from them. They have a very good past history in the premier league but if they can’t keep it up now, it’s just okay not to see them as being a more worthy team than Manchester City now.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹
While it might be true that Chelsea isn't that bad, I also think that it would be insane for them to win the season. Obviously nothing is impossible in world of football, we have all watched Leicester win this league after just getting promoted, so it's not really an impossible thing for anyone to have anything, but that doesn't mean that we are going to get something serious as a candidate for anyone.

It is going to be a troubled thing, and we shouldn't really be considering this to be growing that much neither. We need to consider how to grow further with time, and that's not going to be easy at all. We are going to see Chelsea not win the league, that's not on the table for me, not something I would predict, it's very very unlikely.
I as an individual, I acknowledge that Chelsea football team has improved very well and this did not just happen this season, it started towards the ending of last season under Pochettino. Good enough, the new coach stabilized the improvement for this long time. It is a welcome development.

However, this does not make Chelsea candidates to win the English Premier league. Football will be very much unfair if this happens. I mean, if not the usual Manchester City, it should be Arsenal or Liverpool and that is it.

I doubt Chelsea can beat Leicester City. Chelsea is in the top 3. They have a good GD and played well. Meanwhile, Leicester City has been so terrible this season, conceded 21, and scored 14. It's obvious Chelsea is gonna take three points.

As for Manchester United, I'm not expecting much from Manchester United. It's because the game against Ipswich is gonna be Amorim's first. His team may struggle to adapt to his style.
You can only doubt Chelsea's ability to go to the King Power stadium and get all maximum three points against Leicester City if you've not been following the performances of both clubs this season. Chelsea who is currently in the top four in the English Premier League standings have been a better team than Leicester City this season and getting a win at Leicester this weekend I think very possible.
For the Manchester United away game at Ipswich Town which will be Ruben Amorim's first game as the club manager, I also expect the Red Devils to win or at least get a draw

Tomorrow is not going to be an easy day for Chelsea against Leicester City. They are currently in the godo for mand after years of using new coaches in Chelea, they finally hired their new Italian coach Enzo Maresca. Maresca had a good performance in Chelsea and so far they were usually in the top side of the Premier League which is a lot for a team like Chelsea considering the weak performance they had before.
Now Maresca and his players should play against Leicester and the sad thing about this match is they won't be able to use Reece James their captain since Maresca said this payler is not in the good form to play.

I feel Pep Guardiola enjoys his time at City more than he did at Barcelona or Bayern Munich so there signing a contract extension is just proof. He has been at the club for nine years and hasn't been barren so what club won't like to retain such a coach when he's obviously yielding good fruit. Extending his contract means that the club would be hoping for more trophies from him and I'm not surprised if at the end of the season, the title would still be theirs for the taking, except other teams who are vying will become more serious till the end.
Club managers usually enjoy their stay in England. The English Premier League is well-organized and offers good packages to players. Officials sometimes make mistakes but the error in the EPL is not as pronounced as other Leagues. The news of Jose Mourinho wanting to come back to the EPL shows how exciting the League is.

I was not surprised that Pep Guadiola's contract was extended even in the face of attacks and criticism. There is speculation that his performance will keep declining but City management still has confidence in him. A coach who has won 15 major trophies in nine seasons deserves a new contract. But he might not win the EPL this season because Liverpool looks stronger than the defending champions.       
Every good coach will face criticism at some point and to me that's a sign to tell you to do better. According to Pep, he believes that by signing the contract extension, he can be able to take on new challenges and with Man UTD enlisting the services of Ruben Amorim, I see Pep more or less being excited that be can be able to "right" his wrong when the Portuguese dealt with him at Sporting during the champions league..
 In terms of not being able to win the league for the 5th time, we are yet to see it because as at last season, that was how Liverpool started out well till they became like a flat tire. Anyways, the season is still quite fresh but yet competitive, I don't think it would be easy to discern a winner right now till maybe towards the tail end.

It's possible that Manchester City's dip in form this season is linked to their focus on winning the Champions League, which seems to be their priority. Additionally, injuries to key players like Rodri have undoubtedly affected their consistency and overall performance. These factors might explain why City isn’t as dominant as usual in the Premier League. However, if they regain their rhythm and key players return, they could still put up a strong challenge for the title.
I'm glad to see some news about Manchester City's key players who were injured back to training and are ready to get back strong and win more games this season, ofcourse as anticipated pep would want to make a grand exit if he eventually gets to leave Manchester City by the end of this season and done way to get thst done is winning the champions League so they are going to work towards it by putting in all of the needed attention and strength they have got to put in it just to make sure they pull through having a very successful season and as well help people get his desired grand exit and this has made it very challenging when they lost fee players to injury, it did slowed down their strategic moves to achieving the seasons dream.

In the last few seasons of the Premier League, we have only seen Manchester City's dominance. City is a bit off form this season. So it has become easier for Liverpool to occupy the top spot in the table. It is expected that Liverpool will be the Premier League Champions this season.
Liverpool is ahead of Manchester City with 5 points, that’s not really much, but if Liverpool continues with their good performance, they should be able to maintain the first position till the season ends, but we don’t know how Liverpool's performance will be this season, we don’t know if they will be consistent, but if their performance can drop, then another club will take over the first position from them. Manchester City is currently in second position, and their performance has dropped this season, but I still believe Manchester City can win the Premier League this season because Pep will do everything to improve the team’s performance.


The points are not actually much, but Manchester City is not currently in good form,and we never know when they will start to get up their good form back, and the main two Manchester City players that many people are complaining about as the causes of this Manchester City poor performance are not yet back,we know when they are still fully recovering from their injuries.

As far as this season is concerned, I have much belief in Liverpool as the favorite team to win the league over any other team currently. Liverpool's current form is really great because they have proven it well in different competitions. This has made me think that, even if Liverpool is unable to win other trophies, I have some confidence for them that they will try to win the Premier League this season.Manchester City has already tried by winning it three times in a row, and I don't think they will try to win it by all means.

Chelsea may have really improved this season and for sure their performance so far is quite impressive but still, a lot needs to be done by Chelsea if they ever dream of moving the close and finishing this season among the top 3 clubs because for sure from their previous crisis a lot has gone wrong with the club, but still with recent development we can now have hopes in Chelsea to at least recover a little in this season and also building on that progress in the coming day's ahead of the season but to say that Chelsea could possibly overwrite all the past negative records to go straight into topping this season is somewhat out of expectations at least for this season, maybe in the coming season that could happen but. For. New Chelsea is at a recovery stage, so let's allow them that time to breathe.

We are going to see Chelsea, no; that's league, that's not on the table for me, not something; it's pr, edict, it's very, very unlikely.
If Chelsea could continue with the current energy and trends, I think their journey to recovery is going to be pretty quick and in the next season we should see a lot of improvement that could trigger them to more success in the coming season, for me I think Chelsea should be now have a long term surviving plans in place and that plans should be able to transform things for the club organically if everyone on the team put the best foot forward.

Comparing Chelsea to Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester city at the moment is like a mockery in my opinion. It's savagery linking Chelsea with title race despite their bit of improvement. Arsenal and Manchester city are in balance now with their key players injured but I still don't see Chelsea near them in term of performance. When we talk about squad depth, of course Chelsea is up to the task but when performance is involved, they're completely out of discussion when these three clubs are being mentioned.

Maresca is not yet getting his team selection properly or perhaps he's playing favoritism card and if that's the case, he will not go far managing Chelsea. Imagine having someone like Felix in your squad but always keeping him on the bench even when he might have impact on the game.
Though you might be right, but there is always room for improvement. Chelsea may not currently be at the same level of Liverpool and Arsenal, but you can see that they have shown sign of progress under Enzo Maresca. Chelsea has the potentials to reach the current standard of Liverpool and Arsenal. As for Enzo Maresca's decision to bench João Félix might be due to his tactical preference, perhaps Félix style of play doesn't allign perfectly with the system the manager is trying to implement. Changes like this takes time, new coaches often experiment with lineups and strategies to find the perfect balance. Chelsea fans should be patient with Enzo Maresca as he continues to build a squad capable of competing for the EPL in the near future.

I know how good and well Arne Slot has been performing to make Liverpool the right team we used to know, and they are trying to win the League either; but I think they will also face the same Challenges Arsenal and Manchester City are facing right now because it is only Injury that can bring some teams down below their standard.
Finally, as an Arsenal fan, I will think we can do better this season.

This season Arsenal did not start well, unlike last season when they led the standings quite convincingly, although in the end they still lost their consistency at the end.
it is not impossible to catch up, but this season Liverpool and Man City seem more consistent. even Chelsea is now playing better.
we do not know the final result, but if Arsenal still want to chase the trophy this season, they must solve all the problems, including injured players.
Arsenal started well if I can remember. It was Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City that all started well. But Arsenal also started playing bad not long after because it is still just 11 matches that has been played. I did not follow EPL for quite sometimes now until I decided to check what is going on there recently. I was quit disappointed that I saw Arsenal that was able to draw with Manchester City and Liverpool with such low point. I do not think Arsenal is ready to win EPL.
