Chelsea against Bournemouth match will soon start, and I believe that the match will be a tough one. It will not be easy for either team. I have watched Bournemouth play this season, and I saw how great they are despite not having won a significant number of games. Chelsea, too, are performing well, and these two teams seem to be on the same level in terms of performance. If I may say, the match looks difficult to predict, but I still have some confidence that Chelsea may win. If Chelsea can't win, the least I expect from them is a draw. But let's see what happens, as it's Bournemouth's home game, and they will also try to get some points in this upcoming match.
Actually I felt the same way before the match started, I thought the team would struggle as usual considering the fact that most of the players are just resuming after the international break and may have been impacted greatly by the international matches, the fatigue, or maybe some could have been injured but that wasn't the case, rather we saw an entirely different Manchester united team which we haven't seen in a long time, today they played their hearts out and were even able to find a balance between attacking and defending and that's exactly why they could keep a clean sheet today despite all the threat from Southampton's attacking front line.
Before the match, it was clear that Manchester United was really better than Southampton, so I was not having doubts that maybe Manchester United would not win the match. However, I was seriously expecting Southampton to give Manchester United a headache, despite winning the match. But it was not as I thought; it later turned in favor of Manchester United. Southampton was really playing well in the first few minutes of the first half, but immediately after Manchester United scored the first goal, Southampton's efforts decreased. The second goal made their efforts weaker, but still, they really tried. The truth is that Manchester United is on a different performance level than Southampton.
