Reece James the captain of the Blues has sustained another injury that was confirmed by the manager Enzo Maresca but he said it wasn't that serious but I don't think James is coming back from this one any time soon. The England right back has been out of action in the EPL due to injury and coming back few weeks ago and many thought he has come to stay only to hear that he's going back again, with this recent development I think is time for Chelsea to strip the captain arm ban from him and give it to a more deserving player.
I think James should be included among those player they need to sell or loan out from the club. I don't think James has done anything to still be in Enzo's plan this season. I prefer Chilwell to be in the squad than James because he (James) has lost that energy he always bring to the game, with time if this injury problem continues, James would become soft in going into some challenges, he'd be afraid not to have another injury and I think he'll retire earlier than he expected.
It's very logical to get another player to help Chelsea win their games moving forward, but I don't think it's okay to just loan out James Reece because he's sustained injuries. These injuries weren't suffered while he was sitting in his bedroom; they happened during matches.

It's bad enough that he's going to miss the Premier League game against Leicester City. I'm pretty sure he already feels terrible about all the games he's missing, the injuries, and the pain he has to endure.

I think he should still be in the team. Every player goes through rough times; it's natural. He's a human being, not a robot. Before James became captain in 2023, he worked his way up the ladder, putting in a lot of energy and hard work.

Yes, the energy he's not bringing to the game right now is due to some minor injuries. However, he played a crucial role in winning the 2021 World Cup and various UEFA cups.

If nothing else, his past record of helping Chelsea and England should keep him in the team. We just hope he recovers faster than expected. I don't think he should be considered for a loan or transfer. He's a great player going through a rough time in his career.

I don't see how an injury prone player can help a team such as Chelsea in the first place and mind you, the injury he sustained I mean this very one was gotten while training and the last time he had an injury was on the field of play and very soon whenever he waves his hands he'll sustain an injury that's how bad it has gotten, the player is not as good as he used to be. That's why I said his retirement period is by the corner because he can't continue playing a game and get injured that will last for months, no club wants players like that. Let me clear you on something, Chelsea currently don't deal on past experience or past glory, if not Kepa would have been the number 1 and they would have kept him and not loan him, if past glory is what you feel should keep James in the team Sterling would still be playing for the team, so the time James had with Chelsea has expired that's the thing and you can see they don't invite in to play for the 3 Lions anymore because he has nothing to offer.

Current situation is not ideal to talk about future of Pepe Guardiola at the Manchester City because as things are going we can expect them to break record of Premier League with their fourth win into this season but still future of coach is not updated because we all know he is having not talk about his contract and future with he is focusing on games.
Is there anyone really fit for the job? To replace Pep? I think not. I can’t think of anyone and as such, having to entertain the idea that he could be replaced or doesn’t have a future in the team feels like a mirage.
Manchester City might be facing a little difficulty in winning games at the moment but, it’s what a lot of teams have had to handle and came out of it eventually. So will Pep and his boys, all they need is a little more time to have that team all together as it once was. The team is in so much disarray right now but, once they get that rhythm back, your sure they would be terrifying as they’ve always been.
Pepe Guardiola is already extended his contract for one year as now he will be leave Manchester City at the end of June 2026 after completing 10 years which is surely one of the best era for the Manchester City and his fans which achieve many things under his impressive leadership but now it's good time for them to go ahead for their future as well because this is also important and if they will be gone right now this could be help them for having suitable replacement at the end of this contract.

Currently, they are facing the worst time ever with already have 4 matches losing streak and next opponent is also not easy Tottenham hopefully this news will give them confidence and their players will be jumped into this match with new energy which helps them for having win.

Yes, there are still 28 match left, haha this is more than enough for Manchester City to have an advantage in terms of points and there are several match that can provide an opportunity to meet Liverpool and beat them.
Everyone should be able to realize that this decline occurred because of the player crisis and there is another opportunity in the future to fix it, this is not Pep's fault and he has worked very well, it should always be believed in him that in the future everything can be handled and Manchester City can get back on the right track.
I am beginning to think that he can not handle the underperforming players because it has shown clearly that without Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and the like, he can't perform excellently. I think Pep should have been able to stop some of the defeats because a person like Pep only considered the first defeat as a defeat, but the rest are all mistakes; after facing first, second and third, he should have observed what was going on to put an end to that embarrassment. I respect Pep, but now I know there are individual differences between him and a few good managers; he is only capable of working with already-built players who are very good in the area they are playing but can not play with a trainee. Pep have to make things right in his last season as Manchester City coach.
Yea, this is what makes the difference from one coach to the other. We have all seen the weakness of Pep, that he is just like Mourinho who cannot win matches without his best players, and their strengths is on within few players. I think Flick also has same problem, because he cannot win matches if Yamal, Lewandowski or Raphina is absent. Does this mean that if De Bruyne is not back in form, City will continue their losing streak? Pep must act fast to be back the club in a good shape. City has extended Pep contract with a year.

Liverpool and Manchester City are currently at the same level, but I am favouring Liverpool for having better depth in players and their performance is also at his best with they are leading in Premier League table and Champions League table as well which giving them good confidence and booster in coming 10 days we have 3 big games for these clubs with on 1st December they will be faced each other which could be vital for the title race.

Right now Liverpool is leading by 5 points from the Manchester City and things can go into their favour for having strong hand on trophy if they can secure this win which is surely possible with their current performance level with Manchester City surely can more problematic in case of lost.
I will say I disagreed with you by saying Manchester City are on the same level as Liverpool; in my own assessment, Liverpool is far better than Manchester City currently but due to the injuries that key players from Manchester City are facing. Manchester City can still recover if those players are back but if they don't make it in a short time it will be very difficult for Manchester City to get back to compete for the title. Liverpool is currently doing well leading the table with 28 points having 5 points different against second, this is a good start for them but they need to maintain the win to make them stable, they only recorded a single draw and lost, winning 9 of their matches out of 11 matches played. Despite all these challenges I still fear Manchester City because this is not the first time of their declined and they always come back very strong.

However, this season we heard that Pep Guardiola might indeed extend his contract at Man City. He seemed to have considered it for a long time. And if you look at what Fabrizio Romano said, it can be concluded that Pep Guardiola has actually extended his contract at Man City until June 2026. Well, that's an extension for one season and an additional option for one more season. So the speculation and rumors regarding Pep who is rumored to be the coach of the Brazilian national team seem to be just rumors and will not happen in the near future. But we never know what the future holds.

But what is certain is that Man City still really needs Pep. Man City may be looking for a suitable candidate to one day replace Pep. but it will take a long time because it is not easy to find a high quality coach like Pep. So Man City will continue to retain Pep as long as they have not found a suitable candidate.
I think Guardiola prefers the daily challenges of club football, where he can implement his tactical philosophy, develop players and compete in a variety of domestic and European competitions. Guardiola's immediate focus seems to be on maintaining Manchester City's dominance and pursuing further success in competitions like Champions League. Klopp and Mourinho are not managing a national team, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson managed Scotland for a short time in his career, it will be a achievement for Pep to manage the Brazil national team.

Manchester City is the longest team for Pep Guardiola during his coaching career, because at the same time Manchester City also provides full support for Pep Guardiola's plans with good costs. Thus, I think that is also what makes Pep Guardiola feel comfortable to stay at Manchester City. Because at least, if for example Manchester City  has a lot of problems, maybe it will not make Pep Guardiola comfortable. Moreover, Manchester City has very good finances so that it will make it easy to bring in the players needed too. So yes, I think it might be an offer that cannot be refused when Manchester City offers Pep Guardiola a contract extension.

I was a little surprised by the management's dissatisfaction with Ruud van Nistelrooy to handle Manchester United that he seemed able to bring Manchester United to its best performance, because we know that Ruud van Nistelrooy knows more about what Manchester United wants, honestly I doubt Ruben Amorim and I also don't know anything that Ruben Amorim has done as a coach and the achievements that have been obtained I don't know, but it all comes back to the decision of Manchester United management in developing and making significant changes this season.
Amorim would not want someone like Ruud at the club, for a few reasons, Ruud is very close with the players and the relationships he has is threatening to Amorim. Ruben needs their loyalty, he's a "coach for the players", and handles the press very well when it comes to criticism towards the players. Imo, it's a blessing Ruud isn't at the club anymore, albeit he was doing a fine job (He showed qualities that ETH lacked in his approach for e.g. he wasn't stubborn at all, something ETH was famous for at United.) but Amorim will probably be more successful without him there and having his own coaching staff that he's brought in from Sporting.

Personally, I must give props to INEOS for how they've handled things this season, they've been ruthless and concise.

Amorim's achievements, similarly to ETH, are mainly domestic. However, both City and Liverpool had their targets set on Amorim and I think that says a lot.

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.
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
I completely agree with you on the Chelsea side, I don't see much aggression from Leicester city against Chelsea, this is a Leicester city team that has been struggling so far, I saw their last encounter against Manchester united, it was more like a walk over for united as they trashed Leicester 3-0. Though their playing pattern against Chelsea might change, maybe due to how they might approach the game, but then I would rather double chance Chelsea to be on a safer side.

Ipswich Town against Manchester united might be a little bit trickish, though it's Ruben Amorim's first game, however I'm not seeing a direct win for united, this is an Ipswich Town side that won Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, a very surprising win for them, so I would rather have an open mind for that encounter.

But I personally don't know what Manchester United will be like in Amorim's hands. Either it will go in a positive direction or it will go in a negative direction. So if I say that Manchester United is currently on the rise, I don't think that's accurate. Because we don't know what Manchester United's performance will be like after being coached by Amorim. Maybe we can see his performance when Manchester United face Ipswich Town in a few days. Even that cannot be an appropriate benchmark, because as we know, the quality of the squad owned by Ipswich Town is of course very different from the quality of the squad owned by Manchester United. So even if Manchester United wins that match, it cannot be said that Manchester United's performance is good. Therefore, we have to wait for Manchester United's matches against truly comparable teams to measure how well Manchester United will perform after being coached by Amorim.
Amorim, who is the new coach of Man United, already has his own strategy to put pressure on his opponent, with his own defense which always consists of three is one of his tricks, whether he will be able to make this team better or not in the future but what is clear is that he emphasized to put pressure on his match later against Ipswich Town. Also with one of their midfielders who previously rarely played but with Amorim's guidance he took advantage of it because maybe he has a different view on this one midfielder. We'll see later the results whether he will be able to make Man United recover or not, but to win the title seems difficult for them.

https://www.premierleague.com/news/4171732

Frankly, I am quite curious about how Man United will perform when handled by Amorim. Obviously, he will be under quite a lot of pressure because he replaced Nistelrooy when Man United was on the rise. So if he fails to make a good impression, I think he should be prepared for criticism. Ipswich is not an easy opponent, especially since they will be playing at home, and they even managed to beat Tottenham in their last match.

Now we just have to wait and see whether Amorim can make a great debut or whether he will once again be compared to Nistelrooy.

Guardiola will want to try everything possible to get back his players, although it won’t be easy because they are currently in bad form, but we can’t predict what will happen. Liverpool are in good form, and they are after the title this season, so they won’t want to lose against Manchester City that are not in good form this time around. Tottenham are not in good form right now, the same as Manchester City, so these two teams are both almost doing the same thing; we can’t predict them.
Honestly Liverpool will make everything possible to perform very well against Manchester City, so that they can able to win them easily without so much challenges, since although Manchester city are not in the form this days I think that’s the opportunity that Liverpool are going to use to take the lead them.

But let wait and see what can happen after they back from the break, because in football everything is possible we never the kind outcome that Manchester City will come with, they might have improved much of their performance before resume to from the mid break.
Liverpool and Manchester City are currently at the same level, but I am favouring Liverpool for having better depth in players and their performance is also at his best with they are leading in Premier League table and Champions League table as well which giving them good confidence and booster in coming 10 days we have 3 big games for these clubs with on 1st December they will be faced each other which could be vital for the title race.

Right now Liverpool is leading by 5 points from the Manchester City and things can go into their favour for having strong hand on trophy if they are able to secure this win which is surely possible with their current performance level with Manchester City surely can more problematic in case of lost.

Only a few matches even though they get a win can not be used as a reference that Manchester United is improving.
Usually a new manager gives new motivation to the players, it's like a honeymoon but slowly it will be seen about the manager's ability to manage his team, so Man United can't be said to have risen when Nistelrooy was there as a temporary manager.
Likewise with their new manager, it could be that Man United wins against Ipswich whose performance is worse than Man United.

I'm quite happy to see Liverpool appear very impressive with Arne Slot, against Southampton of course won't find good odds for Liverpool, their last few meetings ended with quite a lot of goals so betting on over might find good odds compared to money line.

I decided to take a risk and added both of these outcomes to my multi-bet. It seems to me that firstly the imbalance in power is too strong. Secondly, Chelsea is fighting for the highest places (at least third) but in case of failure they can end up rolling back. They will have maximum motivation to take 3 points here. As for United, everything is obvious - it seems to me that the players will be inspired as always by the change of coach and will play with maximum dedication, everyone wants to be in good standing with the new head coach.

Only Manchester City vs Tottenham can be considered as big match this weekend but some of big teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool will fight against small teams which on the paper most likely those big teams will be able to beat their opponents and regarding Manchester United and Chelsea odds recently i have seen the odds for them Manchester United has odds @1.65 and Chelsea @1.51 and i think these odds is good to bets and it's not too low and i think the match Manchester United vs Ipswich could be very special because this is debut match for Ruben Amorim as a coach and i will looking forward to see this match result and although i am not a Manchester United fan but i would like to see them can beat Ipswich

This game may not be interesting to watch, but it may become interesting. The opponents that Arsenal and Liverpool are playing against are not serious opponents in comparison to who we are playing against, and Tottenham may not be a tough opponent on a normal day, but the situation we have found ourselves in is simply dissatisfying because if it were on a normal day, there would be no argument about who would win or not.

Manchester United have been looking for a way to actually get back on track their have been a lot of challenges faced and for Chelsea it was worst last season and this season they are getting better and their assurance thay they will be among the top three this time around  and the odds actually look very small but since their is a high chance that they will win that is why the odd is looking small, both Chelsea and Manchester United will be able to win.

I think the issues surrounding Manchester city are beyond injury worries, for me, I believe their problems are multi dimensional, ranging from injury worries, psychological, the intensifying nature of the competition and the loses they experience which could as a result of the other factors I earlier mentioned, now it important to know that all of these factors are capable of affecting the performance of the team and probably causing them the title but it all depends on the coach and how fast he can put his house in order before things really get messy or worse than they are. I think they have been through such a situation before and they came out better, so let's see who they will navigate through this too.

Manchester City has a very busy schedule. Manchester City players are performing in the Premier League, Champions League and EFL Cup matches. This is why City players are facing injuries. In the last match, Manchester City team played without three important players like Ruben Dias, Graeme Lisbon and Rodri. Due to the injuries of important players in the squad, Manchester City's overall performance is now a bit erratic.

Manchester City has lost consecutively in the last four matches. Guardiola has probably not faced such a situation in the last 7 years. Due to the international break, Guardiola has got a long time to find out the problems of the squad. If Guardiola is able to find out the weaknesses of the players, then I believe he will also be able to find solutions to the problems. I believe that we will see more organized gameplay from Manchester City players in the coming matches.
Not really in terms of schedules not only city. Liverpool, Aston villa, Arsenal, Man U,Tottenham and even Chelsea has this schedules still on still real Madrid and Barcelona.
Chelsea, Real Madrid, inter Milan etc.has another schedule for the new Club world cup for 2025 to be played so the medical staffs need to be question too but pep finding out about the problem to the team Will be a huge boost to them
I think the world football Governing body also needs to look into this issue of multiple engagements as regards the number of competition that these players play in a particular football calendar year including the international duties that they also have to participate in, I think the work load is too much as it would have a direct impact on their physical health and their mental health as well, come to think of, Real Madrid would be participating in the FIFA world club championship and that's going to be another work load for them as well.

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.

Perhaps the bookmakers believe it will be a difficult game for Manchester United and Chelsea because they are playing away games. In my opinion, Chelsea should be given below @1.50 against Leicester, who were thrashed by Manchester United before the international break. Although Manchester United has a good chance against Ipswich Town, it could be a difficult match because of Ipswich's performance against Tottenham Spurs in their last game, Tottenham lost at home, and I think they are in a better league position than Manchester United. However, since Manchester United seem to be returning to their winning ways, I will still bet on them to win.

The risk and ratio isn't worth, Manchester City had lose streak and Tottenham won in the previous match. The odds Manchester City to win is only @1.50, it should be more than @1.70.

Both teams had lost their previous games before the international games. Manchester City lost to Brighton, and Tottenham Spurs lost at home to Ipswich Town. If Manchester City hadn't lost their previous four games, their chances of winning against Tottenham Spurs would have been lower than @1.50. But, based on how both teams appeared in their games, I will not bet on either side, instead, I will predict both sides to score or over 2.5 goals.
