Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool managed to win their first matches, no surprises occurred.

For the Chelsea vs Manchester City match, of course it will be quite interesting in this first week, a match that is likely to run with high tension because the prestige of the two top Premier League teams makes the match fierce.

However, I will bet on Manchester City's victory in this match, I think Odds @ 1.86 for Manchester City's victory is very worthy of being bet on.

Not meaning to underestimate Chelsea who are playing at home, but we also have to see this realistically that Manchester City's strength is still much stronger than Chelsea and also the Chelsea team that has undergone many change has not shown any significant improvement in several pre-season matches.

Manchester City is aggressive from the start which they performed last season, this season Manchester City team participated in a friendly match with Manchester United team. Performed well there as well, although Manchester City won the game on penalties. In this case, the Arsenal team had an aggressive performance in the beginning and won by two goals. You though this game is the new game of this season so their attack was at least different and tactical. They set a new record in the new season and easily won the match. The match was very competitive.


Liverpool though they have not performed so far in this new season but their performance will be very good. Because Liverpool squad is much stronger and full of more complete players. So if they perform in this new season they will definitely win and make new records, because mohamad salah is more likely to take his team to a good level again with proper leadership, because mohamad salah is an experienced player.

For the past two seasons, both Manchester City and Arsenal have been the once’s that have been dragging for the premier league champion. Even though Manchester City are the once’s that are always winning it, we are already in another season, and Arsenal's first match is really a good start for them, even though Manchester City haven’t played yet, but they should be able to get their 3 points also. Another team that I think will perform well this season, and we shouldn’t underestimate them is Liverpool. From my observation, Liverpool's performance might end up surprising most people.

Choosing to bet with odds below @1.3 is a very bad idea and does not match the risk you take betting on the match.
If you are in doubt, you can choose other options that provide higher odds but provide a greater chance of winning, for example over 2.5 with odds @1.6 is much better and equal to the risk you take.

I am also waiting for the Man City vs Chelsea match and you don't need to worry because your bet will still win because Man City will win today's match.
Haaland and De Bruyne are still very ready to face the challenges of this season and Chelsea are still adapting to their new coach.

If Arne Slot cannot maximize the Liverpool team which is still strengthened by experienced players such as Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah, of course he will be at a great loss. Because Liverpool is still a strong team and also a very good team in the Premier League so whoever trains them must be able to provide ways that can maximize the potential of their players so that they can win every match. Because if he lost to a team that had just been promoted to the Premier League, it would clearly be very embarrassing for Arne Slot himself.

Bukayo Saka performed very well last season. Bukayo Saka is only 22 years old. In the last season, he was able to score 16 goals and 9 assists in 35 matches. Bukayo Saka is slowly becoming experienced. Arsenal fans will expect more from Bukayo Saka this season. Bukayo Saka will be able to score more goals if he gets enough support from the squad players. Saka has this capability.

On the other hand, Kai Havertez is also an excellent player. But you are basically a midfielder. But Arteta used Havertz as CF in this match. He is not suitable for this position. Nevertheless, Havertz played well enough in this match. I would say Arteta should buy another experienced CF. If not, Arsenal's attacking performance is likely to be erratic in the future.



Arsenal won 2-0 against Wolves. Arsenal dominated the match and did not concede a single goal. Arsenal was able to perform very well. This will make the players more confident. Arsenal will play an away match against Aston Villa in the next match. And if the players are not confident, it will be very difficult to win against Villa.

Since last season Saka has shown a very impressive performance and for this season we can see his performance is getting better, I think that's natural with the more experience he goes through.

Havertz is not placed in his proper position, now he is targeted to score goals even though in his first match he was able to show quite impressive performance and even managed to score a goal but I think this will not be easy for Havertz.

Arsenal's 2-goal victory was quite good and they played like last season, only I think their front line is still unchanged compared to last season which means there is no improvement there.

First big match of this season between Chelsea vs Manchester City and it's quite interesting to know who is the winner of this match

Lineup for today

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, W. Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Guiu

Manchester City: Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic; Savinho, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Doku; Haaland

Manchester City last lost from Chelsea was happened on 2021 at Champion league final match and since then so far Manchester City has been facing Chelsea 9 times with the records 7 wins and 2 draw

Head to head between them in the last 5 meeting

Man City 4-2 Chelsea (Friendly)
Man City 1-0 Chelsea (FA Cup)
Man City 1-1 Chelsea (Premier League)
Chelsea 4-4 Man City (Premier League)
Man City 1-0 Chelsea (Premier League)

Chelsea still unable to found their shape under Enzo Maresca and we can see it based on their pre season matches because Chelsea has poor records so that's why i think this match will belongs to Manchester City and Manchester City win has odds @1.84

Chelsea faces a strong team in the opening match and this will be the toughest test for the coach because they have to face the Premier League champions in the opening match. In terms of quality, Man City are far more favorites to win this match, but I think Chelsea can hold a draw if they are able to play more consistently. Other big teams managed to collect the full three points when facing their opponents and now Chelsea and Man City will also play for three points.

Chelsea will try to penetrate to stop Man City's attack and if they don't play more pressing it will give Man City more freedom to attack. Sometimes defending fully when facing Man City can result in a lot of goals so the coach must be able to reduce the midfield so that they don't play the ball freely because the strength of the Man City players is very good in the midfield.

Saka - the starboy. What a beautiful player he's turning into, I love watching him. The runs he takes, then making cut ins from the wide positions, finishing with that crisp left foot. Amazement. Every single time.

Havertz had a great game, this shows why Arsenal fans love him so much. Arteta made the right call by playing him more central and higher up the field. He looks more natural than I expected. Both of Havertz and Saka got a goal and an assist, so it shows how good of a linkup they have. About Raya, wasn't he always this good. Second season with the Gunners, he still proving his worth. The Brentford man proves why he was brought in here. Never in doubt.

I think the attack could be more fluid when Calafiori starts playing as the LB, which I think offers more versatility than Zinchenko. Calafiori can help Martinelli more, which can make the imbalance get better, the balance will turn Arsenal deadly.

Chelsea team won any match against Manchester City in Champions League match in 2021. After that, Chelsea could not win any match against Manchester City. Even after 2021 we only got to see the decline of Chelsea. The performance of this group was very erratic. And so far Chelsea's performance has been erratic.

Chelsea's attack would have been stronger if Osimhen was in Chelsea's squad. Then there was a slim chance that the Chelsea vs City match would be competitive. But looking at the squads of these two teams at the moment, it seems that the match will be completely one-sided. I see no chance of Chelsea winning. Manchester City players will dominate the match. However, if Chelsea plays defensive strategy, then the match is likely to be a draw.

They got us good in the first half, didn't they? 

Yes, I am referring to the same old meme. First half from Ipswich was wonderous, every PL fan were amazed to see how good that newly promoted Ipswich dominating the Liverpool midfield. I am a Liverpool fan and it hurt me to see how well Ipswich were controlling the game.

But the good thing about this is, we now know that Liverpool has a good coach, a person who does not take prisoners. He subbed off Quansah and brought on Konate, because he saw Quansah was struggling with Delap. Now that is what we want from managers, directness. That wins you titles, not useless aura, not crazy replies to reporters in press.

Liverpool has a lot to offer, but it will be even better for them if they buy a few players where they need depth. A new CB, a new controlling six, and possibly a left-back can strengthen the squad very well. Not much time left, so Hughes has to act fast.

The result achieved in the first half made Liverpool fans a little worried because the players were unable to score a single goal even though they were facing a team that had just been promoted to the EPL. Arne Slot who did not want to miss the beautiful moment in his debut match with Liverpool, immediately made a decision in the second half, he changed the direction of his team's game slightly to create more opportunities.
Two goals were scored against Ipswich Town by Diogo Jota and Mo Salah, Arne Slot was very satisfied with this result because he managed to get three points in his first match. Liverpool are trying to move a little further than the previous season to compete with Manchester City in winning the EPL title, Arne Slot must be able to prove that he is worthy of being Jurgen Klopp replacement.

Traditionally, it's been difficult for Manchester City to play at Stamford Bridge. Last year, the match in London between City and Chelsea ended in a 4-4 draw. Before that, the Citizens secured narrow away victories against Chelsea, with scores of 1-0 and 2-1. So, I'm not expecting a dominant win for Guardiola's team this time, even with Chelsea's updated squad. However, I believe that, thanks to their more organized and consistent play, Man City is capable of winning the upcoming game in London.

We all expected a strong start from Arsenal, them getting so close the last two seasons, and then having a pretty decent preseason this time around. They also have long injury returns, amazing new players. All in all, Arsenal means serious business, and I'd say their missing out the title in earlier seasons were mostly unlucky, and some very tough days in the run in period.

But to decide who will be winning the league is like trying to bet on a horse race without any knowledge. Arsenal does have all that it takes, but can they win? Maybe we find that out in 3-4 months time, seeing their grit, passion, and mentality. But right now a lot of teams do look strong. We will be looking forward to the City - Chelsea game, which will tell us a lot about how the top investors in the league, and how they are faring. City... always looks a bit shaky. But they get their strong forward before you even notice. Definition of Consistency is Man City.

It is definitely going to be a a hot match today between Chelsea and Manchester City considering the fact that Manchester United won their game against Fulham thou the game ended by 1 goes to zero but winning is winning, and Liverpool also won by 2 goes to zero against Ipswich, and Arsenal won by 2 goes to zero, remaining another two big two clubs of the top five English premiership clubs which is Manchester City and Chelsea today by 4:30pm, it is really going to be hot since both clubs might be trying to protect certain level of prestige and the game might just end up to be a draw game or Manchester City wins but let see how goes, what do you guys think?

Saka ran of the show, but beside of him, you missed giving credit for havertz. Havertz is starting to help the club a lot. So, Saka and Havertz will likely be Arsenal's most impactful players this season. And i like Raya with his consistency since last season.

It seems Arteta did it right to get Raya as a permanent GK, but still, I'm questioning Ramsdale's future. It seems the summer window is a good time for him to leave. But, it wouldn't surprise me if he is trying to get back his place from Raya and decide to stay.

And, the only problem left in the arsenal is, the right side was overpowering the left. I hope Arteta will be fixing it.

Arsenal have had a really good start to their first win of the season, they have certainly started brilliantly. Yes, last season Liverpool and Arsenal have a lot of competition between these two teams, moreover, Manchester City did not grow in competition between the two teams. These two teams are Liverpool and Arsenal as they were in the best form last season and this season I think they will play great in EPL to win the title. However, we can hope that Manchester United and Chelsea are strong enough teams, since it is the beginning of the season, we cannot predict so well. However, each team has started the Premier League quite well in the early part of the season so we can expect each team to put up an exciting performance in the competition.

The Gunners started the new campaign with a win that we all know was going to happen against a weak side Wolves who haven't been impressive in anyway since last season they started selling their best players and now they don't even have any idea if that can keep their place in the EPL but it was a good win for Arsenal. From the movement of the game and all the combinations we saw between Saka and Kai Havertz I still don't think the Gunners have been different when it comes to getting goals, they haven't changed a bit but their energy to get a win has improved.
The Gunners have gotten their share of getting the 3pts just like every other clubs who won their game starting from Man UTD on the opening day. Manchester City going head to head against Chelsea, can the Citizens still be the headache for the Gunners this season, because to me I don't feel that positivity in that City side, fine they haven't played yet but it seems like it would be a rough campaign for City and I don't know if Arsenal are going to make the season a living hell for Manchester City but something is kinda off with City to me. Against Chelsea today can't say it all because I believe City won't be as many expected and without City on the path of Arsenal winning the league which other team comes close in stopping Arsenal from winning the league title this very season 🤔?

This favorable start helps Arsenal confidently enter the Premier League championship race, after two seasons of finishing second. This season, Arsenal is predicted to be Man City's biggest rival in the championship race.

But ultimately, I still think the Gunners need a centec-forward before the summer transfer window closes. I don't see Arsenal winning the Premier League without a real striker" Arsenal must have a real number 9. They were the team that had the most touches in the opposition box last season but didn't have a "killer" who could take advantage of all the opportunities they could create. They can only rely on a group of strikers who are often hesitant in front of the penalty area such as Jesus, Martinelli, or Havertz. Defensively, Arsenal had the best defense in the Premier League last season and need them to continue that form in 2024-25.
