Chelsea has truly struggled to discover their optimal composition since the middle of last season. In several matches against lower-ranked teams, Chelsea continues to face difficulties, and when it comes to their high-stakes Big Match encounters, their performance deteriorates even further.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United share a level of team instability that's nearly equal, but Manchester United has fared better than Chelsea did last season. These two teams frequently endure unexpected losses, despite being considered giants in the English Premier League. Manchester United faces its own set of issues, particularly between Ten Haag and Sancho, whose reported discordant relationship may very well be the trigger behind the suboptimal performances in some of Manchester United's recent matches.

Three losses in 4 matches, this is very serious. They look weaker than they did last season. I think the departure of Allan Saint-Maximin also had a negative impact. He was Newcastle United's most effective weapon in the offensive line. Even though new transfers are made to the team, it seems to me that the offensive line is still problematic. Isak is also a good attacker, but his dribbling, passing and finishing skills are definitely not at the same level as Maximin's. City and Liverpool matches were difficult matches, but losing 5-1 to Aston Villa was a great disappointment.

I don't think Newcastle will give up easily, maybe the start of the season is not very promising but it can still be improved, considering that they still have 34 matches to play so I won't be in a hurry to judge Newcastle performance as completely bad. Eddie Howe can right the wrongs of the start of the season, and against Brighton will be a test to get back to his ideal game. Honestly, what I need to comment on is that Newcastle is not making good use of player purchases in the transfer market.

Many of overrated ex-Chelsea's players are flopping when they joined other teams e.g. Jorginho, Mount, and Havertz. While other cheap players e.g. Kovacic and Pulisic are still able to survive in their new teams.

Arsenal still have many good quality players than Havertz, in center forward e.g. Jesus, Trossard and Nketiah, while midfielder they have Vieira.

But for now seeing the continuation of this drama is actually quite confusing.
Some time ago, Sancho, who even pinned a tweet criticizing Ten Hag, deleted it from his social media account and there are indications that they have started to make up.
This could happen and it would be great if it did. Sancho's presence could be one of the answers to Antony leaving for a while now and it would be great if Sancho and Ten Hag reconciled for the sake of Manchester Unite.
Tenhag's ego as a coach is well known and he is one of the people who is firm with the principles he thinks are right and not a few players have been in conflict because they disagree with Ten Hag in terms of views so in this case when Sancho is as insistent as Ten Hag then the possibility of the same case as Ronaldo happening for Sancho.

Currently, Manchester United is going through a lot of turmoil, in which the relationship between Erik ten Hag and Sancho has had many cracks. I know there are many problems between Ten Hag and Sancho. Things aren't just happening this season. Discord arose from last season. Sancho's extremely unprofessional training attitude is why Ten Hag is upset. As for Manchester United, it is said that they have not yet fulfilled their promise to midfielder Jadon Sancho after he joined the team from Dortmund in the 2021 summer transfer window.
There have been rumors about Manchester United being ready to sell him next winter.

Second game of this season for Chelsea on road as in first game they completely outclassed by West Ham United, and now they are going to face Bournemouth even they are in deep trouble but still this is not going to be easy game for the Chelsea because their inconsistency and poor performance clearly giving all details about their quality for this season with no doubt it is early days for the Pochettino but still it is not good start which can ruin them again in this season here we need a better and solid strategy from new coach with no interference from the owner as well which can give better results, but surely it's really important for them to have positive changes in early days of this season otherwise they can go down and out of the top again in this if thing have not positive change in near future.

This is really unlikely for Everton to win that game or even win a point and tie the game. There biggest problem is their weakness in their offense. No need to say that they have to score goals in order to win, but the downside on top of that is that Arsenal will have more space to enfold their own game when their opponent isn't really posing a threat to their own box. For this game I would say that Arsenal can only beat themselves.

But Arsenal isn't in their best shape yet. It looks better than it was at times. All games were close and a draw at home against Fulham also is no masterpiece when Fulham was already one man down and yet Arsenal let them come back into the game. The same happened against Nottingham.

Last season Arsenal had many games when they were absolutely confident about the win. Scoring two goals against Manchester United in 12 minutes extra time could also have gone wrong for them. This streak might also end rather earlier than later if they don't show their best game soon. The team looks great, but could do better.

And perhaps the best solution is that Newcastle needs a new coach who can truly utilize the players abilities. I don't think it is difficult for a club as rich as Newcastle to find a coach with experience in both the Premier League and UCL for quite a long time. That way, I am sure Newcastle's performance will experience significant changes. Last season Eddie Howe had full confidence after bringing Newcastle to the top 4, but this season it will be difficult, especially since a club like Liverpool has returned with its best performance.

The weekend match between Wolves vs Liverpool will not be too surprising if Wolves are able to put up tough resistance. Even though Liverpool is currently on fire and enjoying a return to lost form, I still believe Wolves are not an easy opponent to beat. Indeed, of the 4 matches that Wolves have played, they have only been able to win once. Here, even though Liverpool emerged as winners, it's natural because the difference in strength is different, but at least the Wolves players were still able to score 1 goal against Liverpool.is

There still haven't been many good changes for Everton this season through four games. Getting a draw in their last match against Sheffield United, Everton have still not shown any signs that they can pose a serious challenge when they face top teams like Arsenal this week.
In football, anything can happen, but to win against Arsenal, it will be difficult for them. The maximum result for them against Arsenal is probably a draw. More than that, I don't dare to assume because Arsenal this season is very ambitious to correct the mistakes that occurred last season in winning the title at the end of the season.

Maybe because they finished last season with a very good achievement, they're not so ambitious this season and think that they will also finish this season well. But the fact is that they only managed to get 3 points from the 4 matches they have played, in the next match they will face Brentford and play at home.

3 days after they play Brentford they will meet AC Milan in the first matchday of the UCL, so I think they will lose again to Brentford because they have to prepare their best squad to meet AC Milan.

Kai Havertz is performing below expectations after much was spent to bring him to Arsenal. He has started all four games in the premiership but has failed to make any impact. Everyone expected that playing in a quality team like Arsenal would bring out the best in the striker but this is turning out to be untrue. Arsenal paid about £65m for the player and Mikel Arteta will have to give the player the needed support and opportunity to justify his signing. He is not a worthy replacement for Granit Xhaka because he is not physically strong. He can't be aggressive and push attack like the Swiss professional footballer. Arsenal has to be patient with in,  hopefully, he might rediscover his prowess.

Everton showed a lot of improvement in their last game against Sheffield United. They got the first goal and went down to two goals to one. But they fought hard to get the equalizer and secured the deserved one point. Although they have lost three last games before the draw, they can still surprise Arsenal. The Gunners is a good side but they have to be careful because, in the game of football, anything can happen.

They will probably extend their bad record in week 5 by ending the match without a win again. at a glance, I think we can already judge how the strength and also the performance of the two teams by just looking at their standings. and although in this match they will act as the host, I don't think it will provide much advantage for them. The advantage is definitely there, but it will not have much effect to change the situation in the course of the match.


The lack of playing time he got with Manchester United was a very reasonable thing with his game that often made unnecessary mistakes in defense, and if I became a coach then maybe I would be more cruel by letting him always sit on the bench or I would send him to another team. I think the coach made the right move by not giving him much playing time. Because when he gets playing minutes he always makes silly mistakes that the opponent can exploit into a goal. I think he should leave Manchester United immediately, because there is no development that I see from his game.

To be honest, I rarely watch any of Newcastle's matches. Considering the style and system that Eddie Howe implemented as in the previous season, don't expect Newcastle's performance to be better like last season. That doesn't mean that the Newcastle squad doesn't have quality, but rather the implementation of the system and style that this team plays.

In the initial match of the season, Newcastle gave a high sense of optimism after overthrowing Aston Villa with a landslide score. but after that, they lost to City. This is very natural, because after all TheCitizen has very capable quality players in every line. After that, it is hoped that Newcastle will be able to bounce back to its original form. but what happened, they were brushed by Liverpool even though the Red played with 10 players. then, they visited Brighton headquarters. De Zerbi was able to overthrow Newcastle with a big score. from a series of 3 defeat matches, Newcastle has the potential to experience a crisis of confidence.
Next week, Eddie Howe's squad will play against Brentford. If Howe doesn't do something about his team, then they will have difficulty returning their squad to a better performance. in fact, they have the potential to be defeated by Brentford. Well, we'll see how this week goes when these two teams fight.

Arsenal team is definitely the favorite in this match. There is no doubt about it. And now the team is in very good form. Even then it is impossible to make sure predictions about the outcome of football matches. Anything can happen on the field. Even though Everton is a weak opponent, it cannot be said that they have no chance of winning. However, in the form Arsenal are in, the chances of them dropping points against Everton are slim to none. If Arsenal perform carefully, and do not make any big mistakes on the field, they are unlikely to lose points. But the defense must be kept strong. Arsenal lost points against Fulham due to poor defence. Fulham were weaker opponents but the match was drawn 2-2. That's why I say 3 points against Everton is unlikely if the defenders perform poorly.

I would prefer to see arsenal used vieira instead of him. Vieira's contribution was real to the club while havertz was always wasting any opportunities that have been coming for him.
Despite being in a promising position in front of the goal net, Havertz failed to execute his final finishing on multiple occasions during matches against EPL clubs. Vieira is far better than him.
Arsenal paid him a lot for nothing. I think that this investment will not pay off.


How long? The club needs him to contribute a lot. It's caused by arsenal needs to have bigger achievement caused by this club has been trophyless last season. Arteta needs to consider vieira as a starting line up.
I don't wanna see havertz to play like shit again as starting line up. He just makes the club becomes even more difficult to win the game.

I thought moving to Arsenal would help him recover his form because he's moved to a club that plays better football currently and even have a good coach that would help him improve but his performance this season has been very poor even from the pre-season where Arteta has used him in several area to bring out the best in him but he's failed to improve, I like how the coach is being patient enough to hand him playing time to recover his form cause he's a very good player and could benefit Arsenal alot on the pitch when he's in his full potential, but I feel Arteta's patients won't last much longer because alot of fans are so frustrated with his performance and dropping lots of complaints about him therefore he could end up being sideline on the bench till Arteta figure out the best position for him to recover his form, it's so sad to see the form of such a quality player decline so bad and off all the players Arsenal signed this season he's the worst so far.

 With the way Kai Havertz has been struggling ever since he won champions league with Chelsea, he has been a shadow of himself. Moving to Arsenal was the big break he needed and some football fans were expecting to see him at his best, working the magic he used to do at Chelsea, some even regarded him as the next Mesut Ozil.
But at this rate, he is still finding himself and hasn't lived up to expectations, even Arteta hasn't figured out the perfect position to play him. Since he can't fit in upfront or the wing, can he be a worthy replacement for Granit Xhaka? Or will Kai Havertz be content to live in his shadows?
 Another thing to notice is the way Arteta is always starting him in every game, is he trying to build Arsenal around the player?

Brentford is not an easy opponent, even though there is an international break and Newcastle is recovering, it doesn't necessarily mean that their squad will really play better than the previous match, don't be too confident about that, I know that Newcastle need a win because they have experienced three consecutive defeats and unfortunately they have fallen to 14th place and if they don't manage to beat Brentford it won't be good.

Newcaslte played very well last season so they were able to qualify for a UCL ticket, but at the start of this season they performed badly and couldn't even seem serious about correcting their mistakes. This consecutive defeat should be a valuable lesson for them to change and evaluate to be able to perform. better this week against Brentford. all Newcastle fans are definitely looking forward to another win at the start of the season to improve their position in the EPL standings. I hope they don't lose their confidence.

They haven't get anything against Brentford yet, but I think they should start picking up points. It is difficult to say how much they will be able to take advantage of this two-week break, but Brentford are weaker opponents than those they had to play in previous rounds, and it is also important for them to win this game before the start of the Champions League group stage in order to regain the confidence in their abilities.
