Liverpool have come through one of their toughest tests of the season, beating in-form Chelsea. Liverpool have a strong start to the new season despite a recent change in manager, with Arne Slott having succeeded in becoming the right successor to Jurgen Klopp. They have a busy season this season after qualifying for the Champions League, they also need to maintain their best performance in the EPL because the competition is very competitive. Chelsea are one of the most difficult opponents for Liverpool because of the number of quality players they have, then another tough match awaits them, next they will face Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton (EFL Cup and EPL), Leverkusen, Aston Villa and Real Madrid.

Liverpool is still continuing its unbeaten record at this time, they won against Chelsea last night and it was a very satisfying result for most people who favored Liverpool to win including me who won this bet, indeed this season Chelsea has performed better but I don't think Chelsea can beat Liverpool easily when they meet it also applies when meeting Man City or Arsenal Chelsea's performance is still not enough to beat them, moreover Liverpool also played as the home team in last night's match so Liverpool tried their best to beat Chelsea and continue to maintain their distance from Man City at the top of the standings.

Honestly, I watched the match between the two teams and I think it was very fierce because with Wolves who I think are strong in defense, it made it difficult for Man City to have good opportunities, the good thing is that Gvardiol dared to make a shot from a fairly long distance and it became a goal which was quite good because the ball was directed at the left corner of the Wolves goalkeeper. However, I often see Wolves taking advantage of opportunities quickly, and in my opinion Man City's defense has problems because several times they conceded the ball and almost became a goal, even with Wolves' first goal, I think it was the same because Man City's defense was not good enough until they conceded the ball.
In addition, luck was on Man City's side because they were able to score a goal in the last minutes which had a dispute about whether the goal was valid or not, but with the referee who had checked Var, the goal was finally validated. This is a lucky day for Man City.

Losing 3 valuable points is very sad even though it's just the beginning of the season but in fact like last season they are only a little away from the champion, I think they have reflected on last season even though they were not good, and in yesterday's match I blame Arteta who trusted too much some players who should not have been played at the start of the match but in fact he seemed to be experimenting even though Martinelli was good enough to be a starter but in fact he was not made at the start, they Arsenal are 4 points behind Liverpool and that is quite difficult to catch up.

Their next meeting Arsenal will be against Liverpool, but if they Arsenal are not good as a team then Liverpool can beat them at home because Liverpool are currently quite good with their strength so I think this meeting must be maximized by Arteta in catching up on the points that are left behind and I am sure Arsenal can fight Liverpool especially since their home advantage is very good.

The same situation is happening on Chelsea's side. That's the moment when Sancho gets fouled, yet the referee didn't even see that as a foul. I remember City was getting a pen when Doku and Savinho got the same moment.

The ref was totally shite, if you asked me. He gave Sanchez a yellow card before trying VAR. He almost annulled Jackson's goal without a VAR check. Terrible ref robbed us.

Yes I also agree with you that Liverpool were lucky to win and collect their points. But if it wasn't for the penalty the game might have been tied anyway as Chelsea played much better in comparison and gave the fans a good game. I also watched the game, Chelsea attacked better than Liverpool, although not as successful in attack, but their performance was much better. Moreover, Chelsea had the most possession from start to finish, with 57% of the possession but unfortunately they were unable to equalize despite trying until the last minute of the game. Chelsea tried harder than Liverpool in all aspects but couldn't score, basically they were not lucky to win so Liverpool won.

Lucky to have that penalty? I really don't think so because if Chelsea player did not make that foul, Liverpool could score a goal with a finish in that situation too. So the penalty given to Liverpool is accurate and Mohamed Salah simply made a perfect penalty shot to help his team opening the match. After that Chelsea created enough pressure and opportunities, equalized the match but Liverpool again scored a leading goal which is also a winning goal for them.

Chelsea tried to equalize the match a second time but they failed and had to accept a defeat in Anfield and see both Liverpool and Manchester City running away on the table. Now Chelsea are 7 points less than Liverpool and 6 points less than Manchester City. They also drop to a sixth position in Premier League and have to return to a more realistic target in this season, top four.

Arsenal surprising losses at Vitality stadium are causing worries. Key players like Martin Odegaard are injured or suspended. Coach Mikel Arteta needs to make changes to strengthen his team especially before important match against Liverpool. Arsenal is on 3rd in league but to win title Arteta must adjust his plan and  find new players to improve defense and motivate team. Next few games starting with Liverpool will show if Arsenal can recover and stay in title race.

I'm more concerned about the shocking defeats of Gunners at the Vitality stadium. What are Mikel Arteta options now that his team is weigh out of balance? He will sort out means to reshape his squad because there are more goals to be nailed and we're talking about the fierce oppositions that will crossed his paths. Arsenal are ranked 3rd on the EPL table and consider a very promising contender for the EPL title this season, what do you think? Gunners beats the odds after Manchester City when it comes to clubs that are direct on right path and competitive contender for the EPL title.

However Arsenal having slight problems to deal with this season, with the absence or Martin Odegaard and other key players due to injuries and some unavailable due to red card, they will experience struggle. I'm more concerned about William Saliba absence in next game for Arsenal and that's against Liverpool at Emirate stadium. We know how tense that game will be and this is proper time for Mikel Arteta to make his changes so he wouldn't be settling for another defeats.

Very exciting match: Manchester City against Wolves with a score of 1-2 and to be honest, I was very impressed with Wolves' performance because they were able to have a strong defense so it was quite difficult for Manchester City to break through Wolves' defense, making Manchester City almost end the match in a draw, but fortunately for Manchester city Stones he can score goals so that finally Manchester City can win against Wolves.

and in my opinion Pep needs to strengthen Manchester City's back line a little so that it is stronger because the reason why Manchester City conceded a goal was because Manchester City's defenders were a little careless. But to be honest, I was a little surprised when Strand scored the first goal of the match against Manchester City in the 7th minute because at that time I bet on Manchester City winning, but luckily, Manchester City ended up winning the match and getting 3 points.

Now Manchester City has to be patient sitting in 2nd place in the standings and Liverpool is sitting at the top of the standings. According to my prediction, one day Manchester City will be able to shift Liverpool's position, although of course it is not easy to shift Liverpool. What do you all think, will Manchester City someday shift Liverpool's position, which currently sits at the top of the standings?

Well, In every game there are times that either there is an atrocious event that happened in the match or there is a unique option that has been made in the match and we always end up in a dilemma of whether or not the interpretations of the rules are being implemented on the penalties of the game. Knowing that referees reach their decisions quickly and more often than not based on the information they receive makes us appreciate the fact that all decisions will not be made alike. Which is very true when our favorite teams like Arsenal are involved and we must admit that even though there are analogousies with other cases concerning such other players like Saliba and Gabriel, the outcomes on the field are not always what was expected.

However, the most important thing is that we should back our crew and pay attention to a simple count of points scored this year. This sort of affairs are rather part of the spectacular and they contribute towards the development of interesting experiences of football by the fans. Looking at what the referee has done is not the best way forward but rather motivating the team to keep up the good work. To do this for the players and maybe sometimes learn from such moments as these is how we, as supporters show loyalty and faith in the journey the team has taken in the season.

Nine games have already been played out of the 10 games that's expected to be in the match week 8 of the English Premier League and we've been able to witness some surprising results. I want to know your opinions on some of the games and actions of the weekend that caught your attention. For me, it was Arsenal's defeat at the Vitality stadium against Bournemouth that really surprised me because I never expected that Mikel Arteta's men will not only fail to win but also failed to find the back of the net in that encounter. So let me hear your own talking points of the weekend in the English Premier League...

Liverpool was lucky to have that penalty so early in the game as that changed everything and gave the momentum to Liverpool. Chelsea played so well despite being at Anfield that every club is always afraid to visit. Chelsea lost but they made the fans happy. When I was watching the game, I also was looking at social media and alot of individual are happy that Chelsea weren't afraid but played well against Liverpool. Chelsea had their chances to equaliser as Nkunku almost scored a goal at the closing hours of the match but he miss timed his runs and couldn't covert the chance. Look at the statistics, Chelsea were better but they couldn't score more goals.

Palmer is a young player who is still growing up, and I think he has not gotten enough strength that will help him perform well against clubs like Liverpool. The fact that Palmer didn't perform well against Liverpool doesn't mean he is not a good player, and it is not enough reason for you to say that Palmer is not a good player or that he is overrated. What happened to Palmer today against Liverpool is normal; as a player, it's not every time you will shine or play well; there will be a time when you will play poorly, and people will notice it because that is not your usual performance. I don't think Palmer is overrated or hyped because he has been able to continue his goal-scoring record this season, and he is even the first player in the Premier League to score four goals in the first half of a match.

I am glad to see finally Liverpool can able to collect 3 points from this match because this result makes them can taking over first place again from Manchester City but i have to says it's not easy for Liverpool to beat Chelsea this because Chelsea also very impressive in this match but in my opinion what makes this match is very entertaining is because both teams have been displayed attacking style and although Chelsea has been dominate from ball possession but in the term of the opportunities to scores i think both teams is equal and actually i almost thought this match will ended to draw and i liked the second goal from Liverpool because it's very clever and when Chelsea defensive players is too focus to Mo Salah it makes they don't pay attention to other players so i think Chelsea players didn't expect Curtis Jones which coming from behind and can utilize the chances to scored

The match between Chelsea and Liverpool was very exciting and yes it all happened as people imagined that Liverpool had a greater chance of winning than Chelsea, but even so Chelsea gave Liverpool a very good fight, you know that when Jackson scored the goal for the equalizer it was almost written off by the referee as offside but after seeing the replay the referee ruled that there was no offside and made this match much more interesting, Chelsea is much more interesting for this season's journey because they played quite well even though they lost.

Manchester City nearly dropped points today, snatching victory late in the match. It will be interesting to see their match against Liverpool, because both teams seem to be determined to win this season and Manchester City have a new rival, last year at the end of the season it was Arsenal, but after today's game I doubt that Arsenal will be able to fight for the championship

It was an interesting game and a tactical one as well as both managers were being very cautious not to get exposed, the strategy adopted by Chelsea was slightly different from the usual approach and also Liverpool coach also approached the game tactically and didn’t expose his team because he knew if he attack Chelsea without caution it will be dangerous for him since Chelsea are good in attack. He played a more defensive strategy where all players were to defend and not allow Chelsea to penetrate and attack with just a few players while maintaining shape. Liverpool were better because they have a stable defensive line and that was the major problem of Chelsea, their defense was shaky because 2 key players were missing and he had to replace them and that was where their problem started from.

Liverpool knew the way Chelsea plays and stopped theme from playing it but all i will say is that Liverpool were in favor today and are lucky that the game went their way. I believe if it were Chelsea that was favored they would’ve scored more goals.

Chelsea have dropped too many points now i think they need to win their next match to keep their top 4 hopes alive.

Today was obviously one of those lucky days for Manchester city as they have found it difficult wining wolves in their home even since last season, literally in their past five meetings at wolves home, this happens to be the first Manchester city is wining and it was a literal narrow escape else they would have drawn as they had done all the times they had met at wolves home in most recent times, the absence of KDB and Rodri has definitely affected the performance of City  such that they almost looked like they were going to be luck dependent for a victory in this game and they eventually had a last minute luck that got them the victory.

It is indeed so hard to believe if the incidence actually started in the other side of the field. In this picture, it looks like a yellow card offence because the Liverpool player was dragged before entering the Chelsea's section.

I am an Arsenal fan, but I believe Saliba's incidence is a confirmed Yellow card, but for this one I can't tell even though it looks similar.

The rules of football is always clear, but when it happens to you, you will be thinking if it can be amend, but no way. Arsenal fans has taken it but I was expecting the referees to consider Gabrial that is almost on the same line with Sliba.
