Newcastle just looked for counter-attacks and tried to steal one point by a defensive game. Maybe they could have managed to do that with that game plan as well. Because it ended by only 1-0. Manchester City wasted so many goal opportunities. Especially Haaland wasted numerous opportunities. He wasn't on one of his good days I'm afraid.
In Manchester City match against Newcastle, there were hardly many opportunities for Newcastle apart from trying to defend the back line from the onslaught of Haaland et al. Unfortunately, Haaland looked frustrated because the many opportunities he got didn't produce a single goal. He is usually active in scoring goals in every match and in that match the results were very zero. Luckily Alvarez's single goal was the winner, without this goal Newcastle could have benefited even then if they dared to get out of their nest and suppress the opponent's defense.
I think West Ham and Chelsea is going to be a very interesting game... I like the way West Ham played last season, they were probably better than Chelsea... But today I expect a serious fight and maybe Chelsea will win... A good bet would be both teams to score...
I don't really think the match will be a difficult one for Chelsea. There are really changes in Chelsea's performance this season. From the first match that they played this season, I know they are really going to perform this season. I don't really think West Ham should be a problem for Chelsea. If Chelsea can maintain their performance, most clubs will find it difficult to win Chelsea this season. Let's see how Chelsea will perform today and how the new players that they sign will perform.
The probability of Chelsea winning is quite high, but that cannot fully ensure that Chelsea can win over West Ham. In general, Chelsea is still a little awkward and the players who have just been brought in don't seem to adapt easily to the scheme implemented by Mauricio Pochettino. It can be seen from the last game against Liverpool, but for positive points Chelsea are still ahead, it's just that West Ham, who drew in the last game, will definitely try to improve so they can maximize their performance in this match.
