This is quite risky for Liverpool's defense and we know that the absence of Virgil van Dijk will leave a hole that is very vulnerable to conceding. We know that Aston Villa has gone crazy this season, having scored 8 goals in the previous 3 matches, the duo Moussa Diaby and Matty Cash have to watch out for Liverpool players in this week's match. But this is Anfield and it is very famous for its awesomeness and it is very unlikely that the visiting team can steal points at home to Liverpool. If you look at the actual statistics, Liverpool are still the favorites to win and the last time their meeting only ended in a draw. I think this time Liverpool will still win, even with a very thin score, considering that Aston Villa is not a team that can be beaten easily.

I think I agree, but a lot will depend on who scores first because if it is Manchester United, we will almost certainly see some defensive game from them and Arsenal to push them like crazy. But on the contrary when Arsenal scores first I doubt that we will see them slow down afterwards and coming back would be a lot harder for Manchester United than it would be for Arsenal, unless their 2-2 against Fulham wasn't just an accident, but the beginning of a downward trend. Although I don't think that they'll run into long term problems yet.

The team that really caught me by surprise was West Ham United. Beating Brighton after they got started into the season with 6 points and 8:2 goals, what were the chances that West Ham United beats them 3-1 away? I would have never placed a bet like that.

Chelsea seems not easily for finishing on top fourth standings position in this season because they are dominance by young players and Pochettino still need more time for adapting. Have advantage with Chelsea without participants in Champion League or Europe League and they have not busy schedule match get target to finish in Champion League spot standings. Current performance from last three matches in Premier League not really bad with winning one match , one draw and a loss, collected 4 points than 9 maximum points is not really bad start for Chelsea but their opponent is not top fourth standings team. How possibility when Chelsea face with top standings team will easily get three points or Chelsea have finish outside from top fourth standings place for this season.

There is no way any team in the Premier League can be considered weak. Every team in the Premier League is strong. And relatively small teams also often surprise big teams by beating them. Liverpool is undoubtedly favorites against aston villa. However, if they make any mistakes, there is a possibility of losing points. Liverpool will make a big mistake if they consider aston villa too weak. Aston villa players are now very confident after winning their last two matches against everton and burnley. This is the reason why it cannot be said for sure that Liverpool will win this match. The match is likely to be competitive. However, Aston Villa's defense is not strong enough and if Liverpool's attacking players play well, there is a possibility of seeing several goals in this match.

Its very early to use only round 3 match to predict where the teams and who will finish in the top of the league and I'm not sure why you did  not included Tottenham Spur from your top 4, they hare ahead of Mahdester united by 1 point and currently sit on number 3 in the standing, the goals they have conceded in 3 of their matches is twice less than what Manchester United has conceded but you think 3 matches shows you the vision of top 4 standing, i don't agree with your call my friend.

Nkunku is not the only player why Chelsea will not make the top 4, a single player will not have so much effect to draw them back, the only problem of Chelsea is that they are yet to blend together, more than half of that squad are all new to the club, they are good or even if the result is not good now, they will do better with time. If Chelsea doesn't make the top 4, West Ham or Tottenham will make it because the two teams sold the face of the club(Kane and Rice) but their early matches shows confidence.


Van dijk will be absent from that match which makes them more vulnerable, he is one the best defenders that other club fear the most and will not be playing in this match. However, even if they have been having good winning streak, they lost to Newcastle that Liverpool beat in there last match, this could also be an advantage to boost confidence for Liverpool to trash them in the match, this is an easy win to get 3 points if Liverpool use it very well.

Well they're currently sitted at the top of the table with 9 points and two points above Westham who are second, and their perform didn't really decline very bad, because they've been very dominant in their previous matches what they lack is their goalscoring ability last season where they're able to score multiple goals in a match,  i believe that's because of the absence of their key player Kelvin Debruyne who was sidelined due to injury and because of that there's no much connection from the midfield to Halland making it  quite tough for him to score much goals.
 But i think he's beginning to adapt without Halland and moreover city just added new players to their squad one in the midfield area and another in the wing position, there next match doesn't really seem very tough and i expect city to win comfortable at home against Fulham.

Since the league started, I haven't paid much attention to Pochettino's squad. but that doesn't mean I can't look for information about this team, from the start I've said, that they need a striker who can be relied on to become a goal getter. which means, Pochettino cannot rely on Nicolas Jackson as a Target Man. I don't underestimate this young player, but we don't see his performance as a center forward who is hungry for goals. especially in big games like against Liverpool, he was completely invisible. also, played against West Ham.

I don't know what Pochettino and Todd Boehly are planning. If they don't look for concrete solutions, it will be difficult for Chelsea to finish in the top four of the standings. although in truth, judging me is too early. However, it wouldn't be fair if we didn't give them the opportunity to show their skills. We'll see how far Pochettino can take Chelsea. After all, the league has just started, maybe they will give us a surprise. so, let's just wait.

I do not see or rate any team in the premier league as incapable of surprises. Liverpool have started well this season and would have gained a lot of confidence from their last game, but Aston Villa should not be ignored even though they will be playing at the Anfield. Ollie Watkins is a good player and Liverpool back line will have to be careful for him not to let him score, and also not to be too hard on him to cause a penalty or lead to a red card. Liverpool were able to play and win Newcastle with ten men, but they cannot do it all the time against all the teams.

Liverpool's victory over Newcastle deserves a medal that much is clear. Newcastle has been a pain in everyone's ass for a while now. Newcastle has demonstrated a high level of commitment in the Premier League, and even last season was impressive. Therefore, Liverpool's Sunday match against Aston Villa will be a free pass for them because they lack the balls that Newcastle possesses. I see Aston Villa has an easy one for Liverpool and these days games end in a draw, so it is either a draw or a win for Liverpool, I think your second paragraph clears it up no point in arguing.

Not so easy as you think. For example, the probability that United will be in the top 4 is estimated by bookmakers as 2.20. Want to earn an easy 120% profit? Bet on them   Here are the quotes:

Manchester City 1.02

Arsenal 1.44

Liverpool 1.53

Manchester United 2.20

Newcastle United 2.20

Chelsea 2.50

Tottenham Hotspur 3.75

Brighton And Hove Albion 5.00

As you can see, the odds of United, Newcastle and Chelsea are almost the same. In addition, even Tottenham and Brighton have their chances.
If we do not take the race for the title, then we are in for an exciting fight.

True and the reason is city had a lot of players injured at this moment. I just tell you if KDB has become the playmaker for city last season. KDB cannot play for a few months due to the injury. There's no good player that can supply the ball to the haaland as good as him.
That makes haaland becomes less productive compared with last season when KDB and some important players were still able fully playing in EPL. KDB's role is very important for manchester city.
You have seen the decline happened to the attacking line of manchester city. The realization has dawned on me that if the city is to come out victorious, they must put in a greater effort to score goals against their opponent. I may wrong but this is what i can see after watching city since the first week.
Less aggressive compared with last season and difficulty in breaking the opponent's defensive line. It's hard to find someone who can replace KDB's role for city.

There is too much competition in the English Premier League, that is why there are no small teams in the English Premier. Allmost all the teams in English Premier League is ambitious to win the league. They have the money to buy big players and you'll be surprised that the clubs that are occupying the bottom 10 of the league will be competing to buy same player with the top clubs. That is why it is very difficult for any team that loses form to return in the space of one or two years. Chelsea will do well, but we should not expect it to happen very fast.

Yes, you are right that Chelsea did suffer some less than impressive results in the last few matches. Nonetheless, they showed great dedication in the last outing at Stamford Bridge. Despite falling behind, Chelsea came back and leveled, which eventually brought them a draw. The presence of key players is of course very important in facing a difficult match like this. Nonetheless, what is more encouraging is the fact that Chelsea have managed to maintain their reputation at home. In my opinion, Pochettino really needs to make a new strategy and must give important instructions on the field with the team so that in the next game Chelsea can get a very good victory later.

Some people expect Chelsea to perform great from the first day the Premier League starts, but in fact it is not that easy. I think they or the fans need to give Pochettino enough time at least until the first half is over and see what he's done for Chelsea this season. Chelsea is still having a hard time playing as solidly as expected, that's because there are a lot of new players in the squad who as a result still don't understand each other.

Of course it would be unfair for Chelsea to continue playing aimlessly all season, but Pochettino will truly take responsibility for that and has accepted the job. I believe Pochettino will bring a lot of changes to Chelsea's quality and performance, but I don't consider them as title contenders yet.

After watching some matches of Manchester City team this season, what I realized is that the team is performing less than last season. I don't see the kind of aggressiveness and discipline the team used to play last season.

The injury factor is very influential in winning the European Champions League zone, if you look at the three matches that have been played I have to agree with what you say. Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United are better than Chelsea in the three matches so far, yes one of the factors is that they are less sharp up front because Nkunku is injured. However, I predict that if Nkunku can return quickly from injury, Chelsea will be able to recover.

What's interesting to me is that after Kane left Tottenham, they can still be very good and sharp. So far their achievements are the same as Asenal, two wins and one draw, that's very interesting.

In the Premier League it is quite difficult to finish in the top four if a team doesn't consistently win in every game they go through. Apart from that, the number of strong teams in the Premier League every season makes it very difficult for a team that is on the rise to find the right rhythm, especially with the many young players that Pochettino has to train very well this season. So in general, Pochettino must be able to work hard to change the Chelsea team's performance for the better this season so that they have the opportunity to get a top four place at the end of the season.

Currently i think there's only one club, that's marked their spot in the top 4 and that's Manchester City, they look stronger and tougher and have even recruited more talented players to coverup for the ones they sold, despite having Kelvin Debruyne sidelined due to injury the team still dominates, every match and that's one thing i like about them, looking tough without the presence of their key players.
 Apart from Mancity, i can't tell any other clubs that would finish in the top 4 yet, i felt Arsenal would challenge better than last season but they got exposed playing against Fulham lastweek, and I'll have to see how they'll do against Manchester United before concluding, another team i feel might make it to the top 4 is Liverpool, last season they didn't have a very good performances and couldn’t reach the top 4 but i believe with their present performance they look ready to take back their spot.

For Newcastle I think it needs to be considered even though they lost the last 2 matches it doesn't mean their performance has decreased as we know the club that beat them is a strong club so I consider the defeat reasonable not because of bad performance. Each club only plays 3 matches in the Premier League and still has 35 matches remaining so there's no need to rush to conclusions, at least we have to wait until the middle of the season. Somehow I still believe Newcastle can secure their place in the top 4 a solid squad is one of the reasons.
