The both clubs Aston Villa would be fighting for fourth and fifth position at the end of the season if they can continue fighting the same way they have started. I will want to place Aston Villa ahead still because they have a manager who's experienced in the Premier League Competition and at the same time they have a good defense. Fatigue and too much games would be the challenges they'll be facing ahead. As per Chelsea, they are doing well right now but they don't have a solid defense system even though the coach is doing well. Arsenal and Manchester City are frontiers this season again. Let that sink in!

Manchester United board of directors met for about six hours yesterday, but no decisions were made that could threaten Ten Hag position. That means the coach is still safe until the international break, and he will still be in charge when he faces Brentford at Old Trafford. Manchester United management seems to have too much faith in Ten Hag even though everyone knows how the team is currently performing. It seems that the fans have to take action themselves so that the management can take policies to save the club from the slump, if the performance continues like this, Manchester United will be threatened with not being able to appear in European competitions next season.

It looks like Man United have no plans to find a replacement for Erik Ten Hag. Despite Man United performance and position at 14th place, there is an interesting thing coming from goalkeeper Onana, who took 1st place as the player who kept the most clean sheets this season. In the anomaly of Man United play under the control of coach Ten Hag, while Alison and David Raya are in 2nd and 3rd place. lol 
If we talk as a whole of course there is nothing to expect, Ineos Group will be stuck with Erik Ten Hag scheme even if they change coaches the process will be difficult because Erik Ten Hag format and strategy have eliminated the ability of the players.

Not only Chelsea and Aston Villa are fighting to occupy the top 4 of the standings, several clubs such as Brighton, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham also certainly want that position and the clubs I mentioned above still have the opportunity to compete for the top 4 places for now the competition is still very tight and it is not yet fully visible who will be able to occupy that position the points difference between them is also not much different. Chelsea's performance this season is indeed better than previous seasons but this is just the beginning and we'll see if Chelsea can survive like this until the end if their good performance continues to be maintained it is not impossible that Chelsea can get one of the UEFA tickets either in the Champions League or in the Europa League this season.

It seems like that makes the most sense at the moment. Because of course the club will not be in a hurry to fire Ten Hag without making thorough preparations. For example, they are definitely looking for a better replacement and are looking for and approaching the candidate they chose. And maybe right now they are in talks with some of the candidates they want. And Ten Hag will definitely remain in the Man United coaching chair until the club finds a suitable replacement and agrees to replace Ten Hag. But if it turns out that the club still has high hopes for Ten Hag then I think that's something we won't understand the reasons for. Because of the bad results given by Ten Hag, it seems like there is a strong enough reason to look for a new coach to replace Ten Hag there.

Of course, there are a lot of people who want Ten Hag to be fired because he can't improve the team's performance and this season for a big club like Manchester United, it will definitely make some people embarrassed by the current achievements achieved by Manchester United.

Maybe by not firing Ten Hag, Manchester United's management could predict that Manchester United under Ten Hag's tutelage will have good changes and ultimately Manchester United will achieve quality progress. but if you look at Manchester United's last match against Aston Villa, of course, even though the result was a draw, I see that Ten Hag really really wants to try to make Manchester United better and what is certain is that I also see that there is potential for Ten Hag to be able to improve Manchester United.

Yes, of course we'll see what happens later, but there is also news that Thomas Tuchel is currently being talked about a lot and do you think it's possible that Thomas Tuchel will coach Manchester United to replace Ten Hag?  But yes, at this time of course the Manchester United management already knows that many Manchester United fans want Ten Hag to be fired and of course we will see what happens later.

They will certainly fire him if this situation keeps up. They could have fired him even after the draw, but decided probably not to. What we are not realizing from here is the chats, because I believe they are having chats with all the managers the ywant to replace Erik Ten Hag with, they probably called up Xavi and Tuchel already and talked with them, either they are happy with the talk and we will soon hear about it, or maybe they couldn't close the deal and not going to happen, or they are still talking trying to find a middleground.

So, what we are discussing here shouldn't really be a big deal, maybe he still has his job, but maybe they are looking for someone to replace him and not firing him until they have someone ready to replace.

Is really funny how the board are so confident in having the man as the manager of a club as UTD and sitting at the 14th position with a very irritating performance is like they (the UTD owners) too are ok with all that's happening. No team in the EPL and probably outside the EPL are afraid to play Manchester United as they used to then. Now we have the management backing ETH to continue with his roll as the only person that can completely end Manchester United dominance then I don't think the fans have anything to do on this matter, after all when he got UTD the trophy against Man City these are the same fans that cheered him up. I was expecting that "ETH out" banner but it never happened, it should have been done earlier but is too late, is time to test the patient level of the UTD fans.

At the moment it is difficult to say who will be a title contender and who will not, the first top 5 teams are quite close and have every chance to change their position before the end of the season. In addition, to say that Aston Villa has an advantage only because they have Emery would be wrong, because we do not know how good Moresca will be in the Premier League. Of course, Emery did a great job with Aston Villa and now it seems to me that they look better than Chelsea, but with Moresca Chelsea began to progress very well, so the whole fight is still ahead.

Yes I agree with you, looking at the club we are proud of every week but now in deep pain with poor performances, under Ten Hag the performances or strategy that has not been directed so far is the voice that we will be calling for him to be removed from Man United, there is no clear strategy every week but looking at Chelsea's game with their new manager is a great job compared to Man United with Ten Hag but like no purpose and directionless play.

Now the options are there are quite good candidates that Man United can use with an unemployed management like Tuchel, one of them I think he can replace Ten Hag there especially he has experience in the EPL and I think he is a good choice right now to turn Man United around and catch up the current gap from 14th to the top 5 before it's too late.

I don't know the type of contract entered between Ten Hang and the United management but I believe every contract can be terminated either directly or indirectly. I don't know why they're so reluctant in taking a decision. Judging from Ten Hang statements often reported by media, I don't think the management is considering relieving him from his duty as head couch because he's so confident despite the poor form of his team. Another thing to consider is this, will changing him bring Manchester united a desire result? Sometime, fans derive relief sending away the couch without making a detail analysis of both parties. Will a new couch succeed with these players?

The current 14th position shows that it is indeed not in line with the expectations of the fans and also the management, ten hag who continues to get criticism is not able to bring much change in the squad even with the huge amount of money they has spent during their coaching, INEOS still continue to try to keep ten hag so far and the meeting they held yesterday I don't think makes much difference to the evaluation they did at the end of last season, in addition to still believing in Ten Hag and also giving him full authority to manage the squad, I personally am honestly not a fan of the Red Devils, but if you look at their inconsistent performance like today it will most likely be difficult for them to end the season in the European zone this season, the club management seems to still give full trust to Ten Hag until the end of the season and indeed it seems that the management does not care despite the pressure from the fans is increasing nowadays.

Aston Villa under Unay Emery has good progress because they can performing stable in Champion League and Premier League and you can see it based on their position on League standing because they can reach to top 5 in Premier league and in champion league Aston Villa performance is more impressive because they can gets 2 wins at the beginning of League phase and if talking about champion candidates of Premier league i think it's too early for them and Unay Emery as a manager also said the title is not the main target of Aston Villa because he has realize it is very hard to compete with big teams just like Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool

For Chelsea actually i was underestimate this team because this summer they have weird behaviour regarding player transfer and i doubt Enzo Maresca will be able to improved Chelsea performance because at the beginning of season Chelsea condition is messed up but clearly i was wrong about that because Chelsea gradually can find their shape again and Chelsea also is very productive with scores 16 goals total in Premier league and before this season begin the owner of Chelsea has set high target for this team that they want Chelsea to compete for Champion league zone and as long as they can able to managed their consistency i think Chelsea will finish at top 4

I saw this report in a sports tabloid yesterday that Manchester City have made an offer to Real Sociedad about their midfield player Martín Zubimendi in the English club's bid to replace injured Rodri. I think the decision by Real Sociedad to reject Manchester City's bid is to provoke City to come up with a better offer and not because they're absolutely uninterested in the deal. Martín Zubimendi will be happy to play under a manager like Pep Guardiola who's regarded as the best manager in football at the moment. So I think it's a deal that's gonna be sealed off if City can come up with better ideas

Chelsea and Aston Villa shared the same points on the EPL table but the Blues tops them with goal difference. Chelsea have a pattern to win matches with solid game plan by Enzo Maresca and with him, I trust Chelsea to end up top four this season. While Aston Villa having Unai Emery, one of the most effective coach in England, he's acquainted with the fact that elite clubs doesn't scare him, always hang in the balance to exert more meaningful results for his team. Looking at their performance, these clubs have upgraded to be better versions and we know how desperate they're for accumulating points this season. There'd actually one thing for sure, Chelsea and Aston Villa are not title contenders, they just aim at ending top four this season, it's quite open and straight for everyone to understand this scenario.

It is too early to judge whether these two will be strong title contenders this season because on the other hand there are Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal who are more likely to compete in terms of quality in terms of the title. Like what happened to Tottenham previously where at the start of the season they played quite consistently but when they suffered one defeat it made their consistency worse and they eventually dropped out of the title race.

The same thing will happen to Chelsea and Aston Villa where when they suffer one defeat it will be difficult for them to get back on track. Let's say Chelsea have a chance in this matter, but for Aston Villa I still doubt their ability to compete with other stronger challengers.

It is true that the chances for Chelsea and Aston Villa are very small to potentially become champions this season, because of course in terms of strength, of course when compared with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, of course these three teams are still good in terms of strength, but of course it is not impossible for Chelsea and Aston Villa will be able to win the title. and of course now Aston Villa has won 14 points and Chelsea has also won 14 points, of course the difference in points with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool is certainly not much different, yes of course the hopes of Chelsea fans and the hopes of Aston Villa fans are definitely very big, they want to see their support team win the title.

Yes, Chelsea is indeed in 4th place because it is certainly not an easy thing to reach 4th place in the standings. As well as Aston Villa, of course so far Aston Villa is also good because it is certainly not an easy thing to reach 5th place in the standings.

Yes, Liverpool is performing very well this season and of course it will definitely make it difficult for Arsenal and Manchester City to win the title. And of course, in my opinion, the opportunity for Liverpool to become champions is also wide open as long as Liverpool can continue to maintain its performance and increase its strength. but I predict this season that Manchester City will have the potential to win the title and I am sure Manchester City will be able to reach 1st place at the end of the season.

To be fair, the difference between them is the fact of money and talent. Villa is there not because they spent much money, they are there because they have Unai Emery, one of the best managers in the world and this is why they are trying to be fourth, and will probably achieve it as well.

However, we need to also remember the money part which Chelsea has a lot of and because of this reason they are doing fine as well.

When you spend this much money on a team, you have a good depth, and you have some good players, money does play a big role in football these days, while Chelsea won't win the league or something, they do look alright and I believe they are going to fight for that fourth place but will end up fifth if you ask me.

This isn't really that bad in the end because it allows the player to go to Europe once again and try to do the best. As long as they are in the top five that is not a bad result, they are a young team with some chaos, they will get better with time.

This 14th position is really embarrassing for a team like Manchester United. If the management still believes in Ten Hag after all these bad results, maybe they are not sensitive to reality. Does the management still think that Ten Hag can bring change and improve Man United's performance? It seems like it's time for the fans to shout louder for real change. As Man United fans, we can't continue to be patient with results like this and Ten Hag should indeed be fired because he has failed as a coach.

He will think twice now, Real Sociedad's performance is decline in this season, they only won 2 match and now they're at 15th position. Le Normand and Merino left the team, they both are great contributors in Real Sociedad, that's why they're struggle in this season.

Do Zubimendi want to play in a team not able to qualify for Conference League? while he has an option to move to other team that already secure Premier League trophy and ticket to Champions League.

Zubimendi is a defensive midfielder, he will replace Rodri's position.
