Honestly, I did not expect more decline in performances from Liverpool, but I never thought Liverpool would have a great start this season based on their performance decline towards the end of last season. Also, based on the new management, I thought he would experience hard times with the team before balancing it back. But honestly, Arne Slot has surprised me by being able to maintain Liverpool's performance. With the way Liverpool is performing now, without signing more new players to strengthen the squad, if Slot enters the transfer market, I have some confidence that Liverpool will more greater. In fact, I love Slot's action at Liverpool. If it were some other coach, they might have spent on signing new players upon their arrival at the club.


Chelsea’s performances have really improved, and nobody can actually deny the fact that they are in good form currently. Despite knowing that Enzo Maresca is an experienced coach, I don't believe that he can easily and successfully transform Chelsea to this level. With the way Chelsea is playing football now, it really shows that Chelsea is on a new level. If Enzo Maresca can have this kind of start with Chelsea, I can’t say much, but he will definitely achieve something with Chelsea in a short time. Let’s see how Chelsea’s performances will be before the end of the season; I have confidence that it will improve even more.

Chelsea did pretty well this season, but results have not been too great for them to be at the top of the table. In the last game they played against Nottingham Forest, though, the result was a 1-1 draw which is quite surprising to many seeing that Chelsea had a huge advantage once one of the Nottingham Forest players got a red card in the 78th minute. It clearly indicates that Chelsea, despite getting better, will always lack that biting edge and hunger which is required if they are supposed to win important matches.

Chelsea will have to play flawlessly against Liverpool, who are leading the league in order to show that they belong there too. A draw would be fine, but a victory would really announce them as credible representatives of the elite this season. The match against Liverpool is not about the three points, but also about how good they want to show themselves as one of the best teams in the league.

Ten Hag is quite good beat about the bush, his wordplay cannot lead Man United to success. With the character he displays, Ten Hag is now considered a selfish manager, fans clearly do not like that. The way Ten Hag responds to the team weaknesses actually confuses many people, sometimes even frustrating. In Ten Hag opinion, Man United being ranked 14th in the standings is a situation that everyone can accept. Failing to win in the Europa League is not a big problem, he just said we are trying to develop to be better.

No one knows for sure why the management and club officials still maintain him, and we also do not know the limit of defeat they tolerate this season. What is clear is that Ten Hag must be re-evaluated, his performance so far has been quite poor, it is difficult to immediately recover and create consistency if under pressure too often. The players are not enthusiastic, they will not intentionally play to lose, but the chaos within the team has given such an impression. If this situation continues for a long time, it is no wonder that Man United will be considered a mid-table club in the Premier League.

At this point, Chelsea doesn't improve, it's the coach decision to change players anymore, I think Todd Boehly by himself will have to sack many players as well but Maresca has demonstrated that the fault isn't from the players indeed but the way the coach instructed the players to played in the field. This is what Manchester United has refused to accept, they don't think Erik Ten Hag is the problem but the players, I'm sure if that man is sack their are competent coach that can deliver the job better.

Coach decision can change the game to favour them and he can do the same to destroy the team formation which is why you see great coaches don't make substitution any how unless it's important and when they want to waste time and most often it's when they have a leading goal. I don't know how far Chelsea will be in good performance but definitely they will not be like the way Manchester United has been in the table, they are dipping down across the table every week.

Chelsea are playing an amazing performance this season, which not one expected that they will be this good in this season but there keep surprising us in their games. I personally is expecting more from them in times of better performance.

Talking about their game again Liverpool, which will be a home game for Liverpool, I think it will be out of our expectations. Judging from Chelsea incredible performance, and also how Liverpool take this season serious, which they are ready to do what ever it take to get a trophy, is enough reason to make us know the game will be a bit hot game. Although even if it will be hot it will be either Liverpool wins or they go on a draw. But in the other have we can’t say what Chelsea can do, because they don’t seems like they are ready to lose any game soon.

Whatever the reason, I think Ten Hag deserves to be fired. The team's performance was not at all as good as expected, and even tended to decline in different seasons. We know there are reasons behind it all, including players having difficulty optimizing their performance, but players cannot always be blamed. Ten Hag himself must be aware of his shortcomings both in determining strategy and in determining players, but he seems to be right.

Ten Hag's dismissal may ultimately occur when management can no longer be patient with what is happening. The team isn't improving and people are starting to get fed up with it all, so I think this problem will end once the dismissal notice is issued. Regarding Manchester United's future, of course they need to overhaul their squad very carefully instead of spending too much on players. They need to bring in a productive center forward as well as a strong defender, but it is difficult to convince either of them to come when the team is underperforming.

Yes. At least under Maresca's direction, Chelsea are much better than the previous coach, and it must also be admitted that he adapted very quickly to Chelsea which makes many people believe that Chelsea will be stronger and more consistent this season. However, Maresca's next test will be very tough because he will face the first ranked team, Liverpool. If Maresca manages to steal three points at Anfield, it can be said that Chelsea will be a serious competitor in the EPL trophy competition this season.

I see Maresca's success at Chelsea because the style or strategy he implemented is very suitable for the players in his squad. Maresca's playing style is actually a ball possession type but he can be flexible by not prioritizing position football, but relying more on direct football from the midfield. He also applies, when there is an opportunity it must be maximized quickly and precisely. This is suitable for a team that is indeed filled with young players like Chelsea.

Because in the end there is no reason not to agree to this if talking about the quality and performance that Manchester United is doing at this time, in fact, Manchester United should have fired this coach long ago because of his minimal contribution.

It is undeniable that in the end Ten Hag also always gave at least 1 trophy even though it was only a side competition in England but in the end 1 trophy with their performance that did not improve throughout the season was not too worth it but they still tried to force it with the assumption that the process carried out would definitely go well at the end of the season.

This is already Ten Hag's third season at Manchester Untied but in the end nothing has really changed about Manchester United's performance as they remain just as struggling to break into the position they deserve and are only always scattered in the middle of the table.

I also see that indeed chelsea managed to wake up from their slump in the last few matches and I admire them for rising from the slump, this season they seem to be growing faster and crazier to be in the top 5 of the standings, but against Liverpool who are considered much better I think ii will be very heavy for Chelsea, and the possibility of a draw is much greater than winning, we need to see that the victory is bigger on Liverpool, unless Cole Palmer makes a miracle back like in the previous match, and at Anfield land maybe it won't happen.

Truly the odd favours Liverpool based on the  team experience and formidable squad who had been together for two seasons ago though with a new manager, however playing at Anfield isn't an advantage for Liverpool because Nothingham Forest defeated them at the same Anfield this season, meanwhile Chelsea squad comprises of new set of players though had been performing brilliantly in the league, however it would absolutely difficult for the team beat the more experience Liverpool side at Anfield the result they can opt for is draw at least that result would still put the team in a good position in the league.

Erik Ten Hag either doesn't realize he is about to get fired, or he is aware but he just trying to save face and try to act like he is a great manager and everything else is the problem.

If it's the latter then he is doing a good job because he needs another job when this one is over, and teams would be hiring him if they actually believe the problem is with United and there was nothing ETH can do, but if they realize ETH is the one who sucks then why would they hire him. So, he has to keep acting like players are the problem, injuries are the problem, even management is the problem but he is not the problem and he is perfect and he should not be blamed.

This type of thing doesn't make you liked within the club, and players could literally lose games knowingly, just so you would be fired and they know they won't be fired anyway, so they may lose on purpose just so they can get rid of you. That's what you get when you push them under the boss, this is self defense.

Being fourth will be the hardest fight we are going to see this season aside from the championship title.

We have Liverpool and city and arsenal all going for the title and I am sure one of them will be the winners and not another team, while also fourth place after them is wide open, which Villa and Chelsea is fighting to get and I am sure they are going to fight as hard as possible to get there.

This is a sad situation in world of football because United can be maximum sixth place for this mathematic to work, and I am not sure they will be even able to do this, they are going to end up with even worse results I am sure, we are going to get troubled results and not going to end up with anything better with time.

I hope they realize their mistake and change the manager and get someone else because premier league is fun with United being good, when they suck there is really nothing to talk about aside from how terrible they are doing, but if they did well, even if not going for title but battle it out with Chelsea and villa, this would be awesome and it would be fun for everyone as well. Check the news and you will see people talk about united failure more than they talk about emery and villa doing good.

Liverpool's chances of winning are really high and Liverpool team should definitely be considered as favorites in this match. Because Liverpool is one of the most worthy contenders for this year's Premier League title. Moreover, the match is Liverpool's home match.

But Chelsea team is playing very well this season. At the moment, the fourth place in the points table is occupied by Chelsea. Chelsea is 4 points behind Liverpool. But in the last few matches we have seen very good performances from Chelsea.

Liverpool's performance in Chelsea vs Liverpool match was very good. Liverpool have won 2 matches and drawn 3 matches in the last 5 matches. Chelsea failed to win a single match. So in the next match too, I would say Chelsea's chances of winning are low.

Even though I'm not a Liverpool fan, I admit you're right.
Liverpool has better quality in the depth of their squad, in fact I like the pattern of play that Liverpool has been playing. One of my favorite players at Liverpool is Trent Alexander-Arnold, I have always liked that right-back's style of play for a long time.

I would say Liverpool are favorites to win the game, even if they lose Alisson. Kelleher is also good to replace the injured Allison, but the most important thing is the performance of all the forward players. Diogo Jota was the only player to score in the last match against Crystal Palace, so I'm definitely curious about Salah, Luis Diaz's performance and also Nunez if all of them are in the main line up.

We will all think that Liverpool are more likely to get a win in this match, in terms of problems I think Chelsea are more disadvantaged because the 2 lines of defense that are used as the main defense strategy will experience a setback and that will make the usual strategy in building chelsea must be quite difficult in forming a solid defense, then Liverpool only lost Alisson and there is still Caoimhín Kelleher although not as good as the main keeper but if he Keeper is still quite reliable to guard.

My fear for Liverpool is injury because ones this happens you see the best teams start having difficulties in performance which I don't think they can withstand, Slot trying because is not every coaches in the EPL that can make use of the players that was left behind by the former coach. Slot doesn't say much and his actions with his boys says more on the field of play unlike some who say much but underperform.
About Chelsea they have a way of acting up, the coach Enzo is doing well with the team but to me I never expected that the Blues will be at the top 4, what a way of changing how they manage each game and if they continue like this they might even finish either 3rd or second, is not certain but it can happen, just saying though.

Although this is a match full of prestige because of the big clubs that will compete, in the end this can be said to be a new situation for both of them, especially seeing the composition of Chelsea players and coaches at the 2 clubs, of course they still don't have more reference in taking the scheme in this match.

It's just that regardless of what will be done in 90 minutes, this match will definitely be very interesting, currently Liverpool and Chelsea are in good shape and it cannot be denied that Chelsea's different performance with Maresca as the steering wheel provides a different situation in the match later.
Liverpool are still the favorites it seems because they play home at Anfield so they will definitely be favorites in this match, it's just that I think it won't be easy and the chance of a draw is actually very wide open in the match in week 8.

It is very early to come to a conclusion that both teams will be doing very well in the league games and will make it to the top four of the table by end of the season. They have just proven to be somehow worthy of the game they’re playing now and can be pictured for the short time result. As it’s going, all they need is consistency and that consistency is what many teams fail to have and fall in short of performance along the line.


The Liverpool vs Chelsea match will be a very tough match and both teams will be very serious in that match in order to take the lead. They have both shown great performance so far in the league and each of them can be seen to be outstanding even without minding the positions they are on the table. Chelsea will do well in that match due to their current form and will make it not easy for Liverpool to win the match.

Arne Slot is definitely meeting this real test as manager for the club and also seen to be the best replacement for Jurgen Klopp. Arne Slot have his own pattern of game and it's definitely quite different from other coaches. You do think he will do well in Liverpool? Ofcourse he would because the signs are already there and zero difficulties when it comes to winning matches, he deliver the club.

Liverpool will hosts Chelsea at Anfield after the international break, we have more to expects in this game. What are our expectations in this particular game? I'm going with the odds for both team to record GG because it's very important and necessities for bothsides. Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca likes fast game and we know exactly what he usually triggered in big games. Complaining about the unavailable players due to sustaining injuries, it's quite important for the main players to be present, if not then the coach triggered alternatives.

Am also surprised with Liverpool performance also, I was expecting Liverpool performance to drop when the season starts, then with time there will be improvement in there performance when the coach already understands the team, but the case is just different, Liverpool performance have been good since the season start, they only lose one match which was against Nottingham forest, and we know them to be dangerous club, when playing against strong teams, and Liverpool have been able to win the remaining matches they have played. I was expecting slot to make some transfers when he joined the club, but to my greatest surprise he maintained the players klopp left, and didn’t do anything serious when the transfer window was open, and his performance is still good.

Enzo has really changed Chelsea mentality, their pattern of play is just different from last season, and they are currently performing so well this season. I just hope they will be able to continue with their good performance. Everyone is now kind of scared of Chelsea because they are now a dangerous club. Chelsea's aim this season is to qualify for the Champions League, and I am sure they will want to do everything to achieve that.
