I think it's not fair to go hard on Joao Felix too much now. Because he is still a skilled striker and can be very useful for Chelsea until the end of the season.

Of course it wasn't nice to see him getting a red card in his first official match with them already. But it was a really unlucky red card at the same time. He didn't have a bad intention but he couldn't save himself from that incident. It was too late for that after the sliding tackle attempt. He must also be very regretful for that and I'm pretty sure he will be more careful from now on. Felix still seemed passionate in the Fulham match before the red card. Potter should continue giving him chances as much as possible.
Honestly, I don't think there is much Felix will show us in the Premier League, most especially in Chelsea. He is one of the signings Chelsea did not even need, but to our surprise they signed him.

Chelsea has a squad filled up with recently signed players, and I am not even sure how they are even going to use all of them. Speak of wasting money, Chelsea is at the very top.
This is not necessarily. I think when you say this it's because you are only focused on his game on his really bad debut with a red card received.
Joao is one of the better players and it's too much to judge him on a poor debut.
He still has time to adjust to himself at the moment but must be mentally strong because the blasphemy will surely continue even if he is a new player because his debut did not go well.

5 points lead with 1 less game compared to City so thats 8 points of lead assuming that Arsenal and City are both tied at exactly 2 games. Thats huge differences though and they are the favour to win the EPL as of now. They are in good form right now and Arteta with his squad has the chance to bring back the EPL throphy to Emirates stadium after 19 years so they are not going to slip up
8 points to get if Arsenal won the match against Everton. Don't forget that the match isn't played yet, it is a tomorrow match! Arsenal may get a draw or a loss, a club in the relegation zone sometimes can surprise us.

Sure, 8 points gap is a big difference but Arsenal can't feel they are safe enough. Man City still has a chance overtaking Arsenal points. There are still 18 remaining matches (20 MP now), so there are still many opportunities for any change in the EPL standings.

Of course it wasn't nice to see him getting a red card in his first official match with them already. But it was a really unlucky red card at the same time. He didn't have a bad intention but he couldn't save himself from that incident.
It was a big lesson for him. A red card in the first match will be difficult to forget, it may bring a bad impact on his mentality. However, Felix is an experienced and professional player, I think he must have a way to deal with that situation. Let's see how his performance in the next match, if he can play better, it means he can deal with the situation. But if he can't perform better, the coach must take serious attention to motivate him.

Arsenal do have a 5-point lead at the moment, but that doesn't make it any more favored for the title.

* Also Arteta will be youngest PL manager to win the Premier League after none other than our own great Arsene Wenger who won when he was 42 years of age while Arteta will be 41 if he wins PL this season.

Yeah 8 points is massive for us but it's not much of we drop back to back points like last time we did in the end. I think it matters very much to us this time and while 8 points is a very big difference we might want to take things carefully still. Hopefully City will drop more points as I think they still are to face big teams more than Arsenal in whatever is remaining. Also there are City-Arsenal game which can create a huge impact to this gap so anything can happen still. I would say City are still very much in the game.

Meanwhile Arsenal are trying hard to reach the Premier League title this season. They have a safe gap with Manchester City and this is likely to get bigger if they win their missing match as well. But they don't have the luxury of being complacent even a bit. I expect them to perform strongly here and beat Everton.
Arsenal have 2 key match this season for the title if they manage to beat Manchester City for the rest of the season. The home and away fixtures against Manchester City are expected to be the decider of who has the better chance of winning the title. Arsenal do have a 5-point lead at the moment, but that doesn't make it any more favored for the title.

So I don't think Manchester City have lost anything this season as long as they are able to consistently win match the rest of the season. They need to win every match and try not to make too many mistakes in order to avoid dropping points in loss or a draw.
The next two matches City have in their fixtures will decide if they can close up on the gap with Arsenal first before looking forward to when the both team will have their first meeting for the season.  Even if Arsenal should lose the home and away fixtures with City. City cannot guarantee consistent win not with their unpredictable nature when they play against big teams. City is more likely to drop points than Arsenal.

Yep. Arsenal struggles so hard to try winning the EPL title this season. Man City is surely a very strong competitor, Man City has a great squad and they often won the matches. But Arsenal seems more consistent to win until now, I hope it will continue until the end of the season. By the way, Arsenal isn't leading with safe points. The point gap is only 5 points, it is not safe at all, Man City can overtake them in 2 matches. So, if Arsenal got a loss in a row in 2 matches, they are possibly overtaken by Man City. Arsenal must be careful and stay focused on winning all remaining matches.

I believe Arsenal can end this season with the EPL trophy, Arteta makes Arsenal maintain their good performance. And Arsenal squad looks strong enough to win every remaining match, moreover if their main striker can recover soon.

Everton will need some time to create a solid bond with their new manager, Sean Dyche. In the meantime they might still have some problems on winning matches comfortably. For example their next match is one of the most difficult fixtures of the season. No matter they are going to play in Goodison Park they are still highly the underdog there. They have good players in the squad as long as Dyche figures out how he can benefit from them as effective as possible.

That's right, their mission in the next matches will be very defficult as they will play against arsenal and Liverpool in a row, this may make their situation more complicated but they still have time to recover because the defferent between them and the other clubs is not big, only 3 points between them and the 15th Leicester so i think it's early to determine if they will get relegated or not

Oh, you mean Joao Felix?? When he's got red card on a first games? Hehe... let's see what he's got in stock.
I can't believe the decided to let jorginho out to arsenal on a minor deal rate of a price as low as 12 milli euros,.... I'm actually trying to figure out if he really had any problem during play or what? He was actually the core man on the Chelsea's midfield and his performances were superb -imho, his contract shoulda been renewed atleast.
The Italian has gladly accepted the transfer - in my own discretions -- cus he's actually leaving the 10th position to the first instantaneously..lmao...he's got nothing to worry about.

Chelsea may be thinking about how they balance their spending and income this season after being declared the most active team in the transfer market. There was no other choice but to make room for new signings, and Jorginho left for one at Arsenal. What I'm thinking right now is, Chelsea might get an FFA sanction this season after spending a lot of money in the market.

Everything has notes here, if you want to see clearly: TRANSFER RECORD OF CHELSEA

I think at this point there is so little to be expected from Chelsea this season, except for the recent new signings that the club is relying on to contribute to the development of the team but if you ask me I think Chelsea will be a team to watch out for next season but not this season anymore. The best they can fight for now is top four position to qualify for champions league.

Yeah, at this point, I don’t think they stand a chance to win the premier league. Though, they may still have the chance of finishing in the top four. And they had started out so well.
They may toughen up their belt and gear up for next season. Hopefully, they would learn from their mistakes made during this season. They’ve got the players who are capable of scoring and winning. They would have to change tactics and formation to be able to counter other great teams out there in the league.

In any case, Chelsea has again brought in a fortune in new players. Would they now be successful again in the PL? Striking is the policy of Newcastle United, which can buy whoever they want but still has a certain policy with regard to new purchases to compete in the EL at the top. Manchester United are now tied with Newcastle in points, but it was also a kind of utopia for Newcastle to stay in 3rd place. We are still waiting for a slump from Arsenal, but it may not come again at all. United have put up an impressive run since the appointment of the new coach, but the games have not been convincing. It's nice how they managed to turn that 0-1 deficit against City into a 2-1 victory. That also shows how strong this team is mentally.

Everton now have a new manager in Sean Dyche, and Dyche will have to get more out of the same squad he inherited from his predecessor Lampard. I know him as a man that can breathe confidence into his players. Now they'll playing against Arsenal at the Goodison park and I feel Dyche will want to prove point by getting a result. Arsenal won’t take it easy even though they’re away but I’m still not sure how the outcome would be.
Every manager will want to prove some points to the management and the fans that they made the right choice appointing them as the new manager and Dyche will be no exception to this but facing Arsenal who are in good form this season and have managed to stay consistent will be a difficult test for him probably he could register his first loss too, I'm sure Arsenal won't go easy on Everton and will try to deliver their best performance in this fixture.


If not that Felix has been suspended for 3 matches, this could have been a perfect time to get back at Fulham after getting a red card for his mistake, however, he will definitely miss this one again till next week but they should be able to do win Fulham with there recent squad addition, they have spent more 300 million, more than was 15x of what was spent on Laliga to signed 8 good players, they should utilize that resources in a good way, they will see the intense result and shift from the table, Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez hype should be worth all this attention they have drawn from the public, 10th place isn't something they should be sitting with anymore.
I'm sure Chelsea will still be battling with the disappointment of losing to Fulham in the first leg meeting which also saw Joao Felix get sent off for a bad tackle on his debut day. The second leg will be tougher I expect and with Chelsea's new additions Potter is likely to field a more stronger eleven to face Fulham. I hope Enzo Fernandez plays cause I would love to see how well he would perform in the blue shirts.

It is true that Chelsea are only 10 points behind to get into the top four it's just that I don't know how they overtook Manchester United
because Manchester United has now found its best game they made a good record before finally being beaten by Arsenal even if they lose it doesn't mean anything because the opponent is Arsenal.

They screwed him over, so now he'll have at least 6 more months without proper game time. Guy even offered to pay the fees from his own pocket just to speed it up. The fact that they made multiple errors while presenting the documents really tells a lot about how attentive they were about their fringe players.
It seems Chelsea management intentionally made the mistake so that Ziyech would still remain in the team. I wonder why they are keeping him because Chelsea still has a lot of quality players that can replace the Moroccan. The problem now is that Ziyech will not be dedicated to the team because he has been offended by the club's attitude. It is possible they want to convince him to sign a new deal.
I am not entirely sure why they would, I think it could be an honest mistake to be fair. I remember clearly about a situation with Leeds and how they were wanting a player, it was on a documentary series and I think Russel Crowe was the voice for it, what happened was they wanted to get a player and because it was such short notice and they had very little time, not all documents got filed in time and it failed, so while the player was there ready to sign, literally with pen in his hand, he had to be sent back.

Basically, these things happens, even in big clubs, even in clubs with millions of pounds in the bank, because it's still human error and we are all human, we make mistakes.

It is disappointing that PSG couldn't get the deal completed before the deadline. Ziyech himself will be very disappointed with this development, everyone would hate losing out on the chance of playing for PSG alongside with Messi and Mbappe. This kind of opportunities don’t always come.
Psg and Ziyech are fuming right now, PSG have even threatened not to do business anymore with Chelsea because they feel the club purposely did things that made the deal fall through; for Ziyech it would be a disappointing and embarrassing moment for him, having already flown to France to complete the deal, only to fly back to England still a Chelsea player. The biggest picture in all of this is where he stands now in Potter's team, would a player who was so eager to leave have the motivation to play for the club anymore, and if he is going to sit on the bench for the remainder of the season, it raises the question of why then did Chelsea do what they did that made the deal fall through.
Chelsea were able to complete Enzo's deal before the deadline, this shows how much the club prioritized this deal.

Te match between Chelsea and Fulham is not so easy to predict. To start with Chelsea is a bigger club than Fullham but in the other hand hand Fullham is in good form more than Chelsea and recently Chelsea has made so many signings and their coach Graham Potter may not have had a good time to text all his new signings. Therefore he could have problems of who to future and  bench. Before Chelsea would understand, Fulham could take them unaware.
The match of Chelsea vs Fulham will be held on the next four days. Chelsea are in great form at the moment. On the other hand, Fulham are a good team. All in all, it is difficult to predict which team can win this match. But since Chelsea are currently performing well, I will definitely put Chelsea slightly ahead in this match. However, we have seen Chelsea sign some new players this season. As a result, it will be difficult to decide which player to field and which player to keep on the bench. I think it's very challenging for Chelsea's coach. If we look at the points table of the two teams, we can see that after playing 21 matches, they have won nine matches, drawn four matches and lost 8 matches. And after playing twenty matches, Chelsea have won six matches, drawn five matches and lost seven matches, with 29 points and are in the tenth position of the points table. Hope this match will be a very challenging match for the way team. 
I think at this point there is so little to be expected from Chelsea this season, except for the recent new signings that the club is relying on to contribute to the development of the team but if you ask me I think Chelsea will be a team to watch out for next season but not this season anymore. The best they can fight for now is top four position to qualify for champions league.
