The improvements to the team must be carried out as a whole, both from the coach's side and even more so from the players. Maybe at this time, they can't focus too much on developing themselves or implementing new strategies because of the adaptability of the match. However, this shouldn't be a problem because after every match there will be an evaluation. And this evaluation is used as material for future matches, implemented by considering what the opponent will look like in the future. The role of the coach is very big here. However, again, when the players are not solid and not too focused on the direction of the coach, any strategy will definitely not be optimal. Actually, I am concerned about the good players who are already quite solid but are not supported by other players.

Even though Newcastle played under pressure with Southampton but the players were strong enough in defense and also the attack was deadly which made the opponent concede even more, but indeed Eddie Howe did a good job over the last few games Newcastle have come back slowly and I think they can be in in the middle table later.
So I was a little doubtful about the game Newcastle would win but the result was amazing with that win even though it was a goal behind Southampton at first.

All the players that scored for Aston Villa had their names starting with the Alphabet as C!
Coutinho, Calum Chambers and Cash 
Great game for them, as they kept clean sheet in this game.

One could see the frustrated faces of Leeds United, they're just too poor at defending so far, conceding more than Norwich.
Newcastle tonight that team is now ten points clear of the relegation zone, Chris wood scoring he's first goal for Newcastle and the back heel winner from the Newcastle signing Bruno Guimarares!
That with standing, I had a good time watching this games tonight!

The goal market is actually the best of options to pick out for a bet today in the EPL today, it was a goal feast and all the fixtures made the most of it. All games played over 2.5 goals and non registered a draw.

Chelsea did good today by beating Norwich City just as they should, I'm sure they are reminded of how close Arsenal is behind them and should they want to keep there spot on the league, its just a matter of tightening loosed ends. Arsenal has got 2 unplaced games and as such, should Chelsea, it could bring the shift but, I don't see that happening.

Steven Gerrard is gradually building Aston Villa into an elite team. With this quality of play, Aston Villa is hoped to be placed somewhere at the top of the league next season.

Fantastic game's tonight,all the fixtures today got involved in a total of three plus goals.
Beautiful goals from Havertz, Calum chambers and from Cash.
Chelsea game was super interesting, kante came on and grabbed an assist.
Chelsea win sets them more ahead of Manchester United and the Emirates.
Ruben neves of Wolverhampton beats them all, with he's Sublime chip!

There is something magical going on at Newcastle. A while ago it looked hopeless, but since the takeover by that rich sheik, something magical has arisen. They have of course already been able to bring in a few good players, but they are now continuing to string together the points. A while ago they really had to fight against relegation, but that seems to be one less worry now.

Newcastle are still maintaining their unbelievable form in the league now. They played one of their missing games against Southampton today and won that 2-1 away. And they turned the game around from a 1-0 score disadvantage also. Newcastle players really started to believe in themselves and this is reflecting on their performance very clearly. Their performance has been spectacular for many weeks. They haven't been losing for a long while. And I'm getting more curious about how long it will take them to lose.

Eddie Howe has truly did well at Newcastle the board really did well in there decision to bring him onboard,I remember that immediately the take over when Steve Bruce was sack, rumours were going round that is only a big name coach that can save Newcastle not to get relegated, they did go for big names coach like, Antonio Conte, Zidane but look now, Eddie did the job.

What Chelsea can and cannot do under sanction
News

They can:

    Pay the wages, allowances and pensions of all employees of the Club, including players, coaching, corporate and administrative staff

    Pay fees, dividends or other allowances to directors of the Club except Roman

    Continue the payment necessary for the ongoing regular maintenance of the Club and the Club’s grounds, including rates, council tax, other taxes, insurance building safety inspection costs, energy costs and other maintenance costs associated with the maintenance of the Club’s ground and training grounds

    Pay reasonable costs of travel to and from fixtures for players and essential staff including costs for security staff, travel agencies or contractors. These costs include travel, accommodation and subsistence costs, but may not exceed £20,000 per game

    Make payments for the hosting of fixtures, including security, stewarding, emergency services and catering, not exceeding the value of £500,000 per fixture

    Sell food and drink at Stamford Bridge during fixtures

    Continue to make inter-club payments for existing player loan and sale agreements

    Receive payments from match broadcasts

    Receive fees from EFA, PL, and UEFA for league performance

    Continue to sell existing merchandise through third parties (eg Nike) where they already have a contract

    Be sold to a new owner with a special dispensation, provided Roman does not benefit financially from it

They cannot:

    Sell merchandise through the Chelsea physical or online stores

    Produce new merchandise unless there was an existing agreement per-sanction

    Sell new tickets to home or away matches. Existing ticket holders can continue to attend, including season ticket holders and those who have already purchased a ticket

    Pay for new stadium capital works or refurbishments

    Buy, sell, loan, transfer, or otherwise enter any agreement for players (current players cannot be re-contracted, and new players cannot be bought)

    Sign or re-contract sponsorships

The key part in the license: "Any funds which the Club receives must be frozen due to the asset freeze on (Roman)". While Chelsea will continue to receive revenue from existing agreements, they cannot use it.

The current license to operate is effective immediately until May, after which it expires. It can be reviewed and renewed again.

tl;dr existing contracts will be honored, incoming funds will be frozen. They cannot enter any NEW financial agreements. The license will be reviewed again in May. Roman can still sell Chelsea under special dispensation but he cannot profit from it - effectively a 3B loss. If Roman doesn't sell and Chelsea runs out of money, they will go into administration.

Just like an anchor on the sea bed, Norwich is now settled on the bottom of the EPL table, relegation is sure for them now just like Watford. One more club for relegation and Everton, Burnley and leeds are looking like the candidates, even not too safe for Brentford. Games this weekend i think will determine who goes relegated are the Brentford vs Burnley,  Leeds vs Norwich, Southampton vs Watford. Everton is not a team i'll like to see relegated, so hopefully they should win their game against the Wolves.

What keeps amusing about Norwich is, whenever they manage to qualify for the premier league for the season, they will end up being relegated. Now that they are at the bottom of the premier league, will they escape the relegation zone this season? The answer will be no.
The kind of level players they have is not capable enough to keep them to the next season of the premier league.  
I expect to see Norwich next upper season with new quality players that are eager to keep them going on the premier league table

With the current form of Chelsea now top three spots are already settled in Premier League first two for Manchester City and Liverpool third for Chelsea and now fight is going on for remaining fourth spot here we have few teams which are giving their best, but we have to wait for this final result because currently Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham all have equal chance for grab of this spot nothing is sure with their current form most chances Arsenal and Tottenham are favourite but still 10 rounds remaining, so anything is possible.

In next match, Tottenham is going to face Manchester United at Old Trafford which is very crucial for their chances of going to fourth spot. And Arsenal is going to face Leicester City, let's wait and watch what happen with these both favorite teams in this round.

According to media reports, Abramovich is not permitted to sell the club at this point. I read that sanctions prevent the sale of the club as well.

As described in the NY Times: "Abramovich’s plans to sell the team were now untenable, and on hold; the club was forbidden from selling tickets or merchandise, lest any of the money feed back to its owner; and the team was prohibited — for the moment — from acquiring or selling players..."

Yes, Chelsea will not be the same no matter what happens next. The sanctions will severely restrict the club's spending and seriously undermine its ability to operate at the same level it has for the past twenty years. No doubt about it.

The match went pretty well for the Blues as take their 3 points, by now they have give Arsenal more game in the table. This has proven that Chelsea are back to their form, but they title hope has fade away but it's certain that they will surely finished in top 3.

Disturbing fans and higher pressure from Norwich since they scored the penalty by Tim Pukki.
Good substitute into the game made by thomas tuchel as he cannot and shouldn't afford to loss this game!
Good team play from Chelsea anyways, they're sure enjoying their night here.
Three goals now, Harvetz with this one,fifth goal in six game's. Mason mount should be my man of the match.

No doubt, Chelsea performance in the first half of the game was impressive. They dominated, while Norwich City couldn't withstand the pressure. But fortunately Norwich got a penalty kick in the second half, which they didn't hesitate to score. However, the game is about to win, and the score is 1-2, Chelsea haven't been able to secure any goal in the second half. But, they still have high possibility of winning. I just hope Norwich end up equalizing the score.

Currently, 28th round is under progress but after looking these results from Norwich and Watford I am feeling these two teams are already prepared for relegation because these both teams having the worst record in last few matches with no chance of recovery in next ten matches. For third team we have some good competition even here Burnley is hot favorite, but Leeds United is also can go through in this way with their worst run in last five matches where they completely fail to have any positive result.
 
After staying at bottom now Newcastle United are improving very good with today they have very good lead against Southampton after conceding early goal now they are in safe zone and heading for middle of league table. Aston Villa leading by 0 - 2 against Leeds United mean their chances of survival are not good in this season.

We are watching a different half for Norwich this time. Norwich are playing at nearly the same level with Chelsea now. And this effort brought them the goal in the 69th minute by a penalty. T. Pukki scored the hope bringer for them. But I still don't think that this will change anything for Chelsea. I believe they will score another goal and become relieved finally. Because we are in the last ten minutes of the match now and and Chelsea are still in danger as the score is stuck at 2-1. It would be a big disappointment for them if they lose points somehow.

That is mainly about the money if you ask me. The money is given out to the teams in the lower leagues fairly equally, and they all get a good amount of money for being there as well. So that means the top 3 to 4 divisions are filled with clubs who get a decent amount of money.

This makes sure that only the great ones survive, unless a team is having some financial trouble, or a management issue, basically something out of regular ordinary day, then even the worst team on a premier league club makes more money than some champions of some leagues. That difference makes sure that clubs are great, I mean how many leagues champions earn as much as what the team that wins the championship division makes? That's the biggest difference.

Wolves are really on a rampage now after the previous few matches always looking sluggish
For Chelsea I'm not too doubtful about that but I'm still hopeful about Newcastle now even though the temporary advantage can still be maintained but it's not final because there's still quite a lot of time left there.
if indeed Newastle can maintain this then I think this will be quite good and indeed this is a very good thing for the richest team at the moment
