Again, Man United must continue to be guarded by Newcastle and this is the umpteenth time for 2 clubs competed with each other to occupy 3rd place in the standings. Based on their performance today, they deserved to win. Especially Man United's appearance which looks different from before, where they appear solid what I applaud is how Erik Ten Hag arranged the composition of the front line so well.

Meanwhile, the Newcastle match was actually not very entertaining because from the start Newcastle had the upper hand in controlling the game even though they had to be 1 point behind. But thanks to the pressure they continued to do, they were able to come out victorious.


Lampard is in big trouble because he has to come back to make Chelsea worse off. With the initial results that did not meet expectations, Todd Boehly gambled with the coach he chose. Nothing has really changed from Chelsea's performance, even in this match they only produced 1 on target. So no better than the last match.

Regarding Havertz, he shouldn't have decided to renew his contract with Chelsea. the Blues need to recognize that this player is not ideal up front and is always throwing lots of aimless shots.

Man City is in a superior position and must get a full victory over Southampton. With a 2-point lead, Man City should still be able to add more points in this match. Regardless of their schedule in the Champions League, they will continue to maximize their wins so they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Man City difference in points has gradually reduced the gap to Arsenal. So it will probably always be difficult to determine who will stand at the top of the standings. Arsenal need to be vigilant in any way because 1 game is left to lose, so Man City will make good use of it.

The competition in the top three will be even more competitive as the competition between Man United and Newcastle continues. Man United managed to beat Everton and Newcastle also managed to secure full points, the most interesting match for both of them in week 29 with important wins to maintain their position in the standings. Newcastle almost lost that game because Brentford had much bigger chances, but they missed a penalty and an own goal made Newcastle get full points in this match.

Liverpool's record has been terrible this season in the league so I don't think they will be able to finish in the top four or five. Defeats against Bournemouth, Manchester City and a draw against Chelsea have made their chances of being in the top five very improbable, 10 points too many for them to catch Tottenham's position in the top five of the standings. The next match also made it difficult for Liverpool to get full points because they would face Arsenal who were in perfect form.

Nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and this is a good capital for Arsenal to visit Anfield. Arsenal will definitely give their full strength against Liverpool, but I think the chance of the game ending in a draw is very possible, because Liverpool are also ambitious to get points even if they have to end in a draw.

It doesn't seem like Southampton wasted chances, but it looks like Southampton really don't have a good finish. Because, even though Southampton had some good chances but in reality, Southampton did not have a single shot on target until this 60th minute.

Also, even though Manchester City has good domination in this match, but I personally feel that Manchester City is unlikely to waste all of its stamina. Because after all, Manchester City also still have to have better preparation for the match in the Champions League. So I don't think Manchester City has the ambition to win by a big score, but if it's only a 2-0 win, I think it's still a fair score and not too big either.

My opinion is this. If Chelsea under the tutelage of Frank Lampard are able to win all the wins in the remaining games this season, let's say there are 7 more remaining, then Chelsea at the end of the season will get 60 points (21 + 39).
Can they end in fifth place in the standings? while Tottenham and Liverpool will also try to be in that position because the top four positions are hard to come by.

Therefore, even though I am not a Chelsea fan, I feel that most Chelsea fans are aware of the current state and situation of their team.
There is some truth to what you said, instead of appointing Lampard as a temporary coach, Boehly was able to bring in two strong candidates to train Chelsea, namely Enrique and Nagelsmann.
In this context, I feel the business is being run by Todd Boehly.

I also don't have much expectations from Chelsea now after they have got Lampard. I wouldn't call Lampard a clown coach but yeah he has lot to learn and experience as a manager. It wasn't a wise decision from Chelsea to sign Lampard (I have talked about it why I feel so) but anyway its just temporarily so let's see how it goes till the end of this season. I think they should have gone with either of Nagelsmann or Enrique (even better) in my opinion when they had a chance. Not sure why they didn't make things final when things were very close.

29th goal for Haaland and the 100th assist for KDB in the premier league. Southampton have been wasteful in the game, they had some good chances to score against Manchester city a team that teams don't usually get a chance to score, and they wasted it. They are at the bottom of the table, the season may end that way for them. for Haaland, it is a good goal for him coming back from a brief injury, Manchester city need him up to form for their UCL game against Bayern next week. Manchester city plays better in the second half, they will surely score more goals.

Chelsea continues to suffer already with a new coach. Apparently the players have not yet come to their senses after working with Potter. Of course it's hard to watch Chelsea play this season. The top club, which in previous seasons fought for the highest places, now cannot even score one goal against Wolverhampton.

Tottenham, on the other hand, were delighted as they still managed to beat Brighton. As usual Kane and Min decided everything, but still there is a result for Tottenham, three points in the piggy bank and that's the most important thing.

The team spirit is at a very low level and the team needs an experienced coach who can bring them out of this state. Instead of an experienced coach, the team was given a temporary replacement, but why, what's the point? Players feel it all, a state of uncertainty, no one knows what will happen next and in this state they will have to meet with Real Madrid in the Champions League. Such decisions will not help the team, you should not expect any changes until the team has a good coach.

This has really been a bad season for Chelsea. Even though they have tried almost everything, it seems they still haven't found a solution to their slump. Their opponent was not a big team, but Chelsea failed to get a point against Wolves. I think their performance is getting worse, where they are slow in building attacks and their defensive line looks unsteady, and the most crucial thing, Chelsea does not have a striker who can be relied upon.

44th minute into the first half. That was when Manchester City finally had the breakthrough and scored Southampton.
De Bruyne, with an amazing cross as usual found the top of Haalands head. I think Haaland, having somewhat of an advantage with his height, quickly found the cross with his head and put it in beautifully.

With this goal, Manchester City would be going into the half time with the lead. There is no doubt that the second half would bring more goals as Manchester City would go on to score more goals. Hopefully, the second half would be more exciting than the first.

Chelsea will be increasingly discussed. Apart from that because they have not been able to move to a higher position due to their poor performance this season since being coached by Graham Potter.
Then Chelsea returned to trending topics in various media because of the owner's decision to dismiss Potter and appoint Frank Lampard as temporary coach until the end of the season.

Those who do not like Chelsea will again highlight Chelsea for the defeat received this week against Wolverhampton by assuming that Lampard is not the right coach to boost their performance.
For me, this is just the beginning and Lampard can answer all the fans' worries in the next match.

Manchester United really deserved this win by 2-0 against Everton. Because they had a huge level of domination during the whole game.

Rashford didn't have a very good day but still he made an assist at least. Because he got two big opportunities by one-on-ones against Pickford but he wasted both of these chances generously. I still don't think this is bad for him because he has had a really positive performance during the most of the season so far. He has made a really great contribution to the team with his goals and assists. This is like his most productive season honestly. By the way, Everton were quite weak at defending as usual. They were vulnerable to especially long balls.

Erik Ten Haag doesn't have to solve any problems, if Rashford can't play in UEL against Sevilla later, they still have Wout Weghorst. Even though Weghorst hasn't performed well so far, at least ETH doesn't have to think about rotation or other strategies. BTW, I'm so curious what their match against Sevilla will be like, because as we know that Sevilla has a bad performance in La Liga, but they are still staying in UEL.

I'm glad West Ham managed to beat Fulham today and move up from the relegation zone... By the way, there is a lot of competition in the relegation zone this season...))) I wouldn't want West Ham to go to the Championship... I'm also not surprised that Chelsea lost to Wolves... Chelsea are awful this season, but probably the main factor in the loss was the upcoming Champions League game against Real Madrid... I think Chelsea understand the importance of this game...

 I dont know what is wrong with this Chelsea team i think they are just bad. If they had 10 points less it would be a fight for survival. I expected a win against Wolves with Lampard as their coach but nothing can help them. Just no motivation in their team to win

Chelsea have recently been giving quite a bad performance even in the last 5 matches Chelsea have only won one game three defeats and one draw.
With Chelsea's previous decision to fire Potter, it was a good decision because as long as Chelsea was under coach Potter, they didn't have a good history of achievements.

Regarding Lampard, I'm not sure I can provide good development for Chelsea because we can see in the past when Chelsea was cared for by Lampard, they also didn't provide satisfactory achievements.
So that if Chelsea recruits Lampard again it will only be like when Potter where Chelsea will only get worse and experience far behind with other big teams.
Actually, it's a shame when a big team like Chelsea goes into a slump.

manchester united winning at home today was an expected victory for all sides being that their opponent is a weaker club that Manchester United will beat at any stadium ecen if not at home, another advantage is that since man u is home their supporters will give them all the motivation their need to perform better since manchester united also have a long history of winning the home games.

It's hilarious to see how chelsea was the only a big team that was losing this week while all of big clubs are winning the game. What a garbage team. After potter has gone todd boehly signed another clown coach as well and he is lampard.

He is a legend in chelsea but he has no capability to be a good coach. Can chelsea stop this result? If chelsea will unable to stop it and relegation zone is real.

chelsea has got another clown coach and its players played like a mediocre club. My guess was right if wolves would be winning the game.

What a funny match from wolves.  

Clown of the season
In the end the change in coaching position for Chelsea still couldn't make a splash and they had to lose again to Wolves,
This is really bad enough for Chelsea because indeed they are currently adding to their bad record and in the last 4 matches they have had no impact. Some might think that Lampard still needs to adapt but I don't think this is the time for that because Chelsea need to gain points.

Graham Potter was doing so well the Brighton, building and developing Brighton to a team that was too good to finish 7th last season but when he was appointed as the manager of Chelsea after the sack of Thomas Tuchel i wished he could do well with the team even when I know it'll be a very difficult task because Chelsea is a big club that traditional with Champions League football and challenging for trophies. I knew it'll be a mountain to climb for him to excel at Chelsea. But what shocked me the most about Todd Boehly's decisions since taking over as Chelsea owner is sacking Potter and replacing him with FrankLampard. I won't be surprised to see Chelsea struggle to remain in the EPL this season.
