Yes it is really sad to see Chelsea losing some points lately, 3 draw in the last 5 matches means they lost 6 points because in a paper they should have won the 3 draw matches against average/mediocre team.
It is as easy as saying Chelsea is not fit and qualified to win EPL this season. I was happy when it was leading 1 goal to nothing, but I wasn't confident and Brighton and Hove Albion later had to score and the match went draw. This is Chelsea, when they lose that second spot to Manchester City, their potential to chase EPL title this season has gone. Now very possible Liverpool will have the second position as it has 1 match left to be played to meetup.

Judging from their game, Brighton deserved a result from this match.
Although this result was not satisfactory for Chelsea, it made them shift Liverpool's position to 2nd place in the standings, after they were beaten by Leicester in their last match.
An advantage for Manchester City of course, where their points are quite far apart, 8 points.
A late dram at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea delivered a bad performance, so Brighton earned the point. In December, Chelsea led the league, but now they are eight points behind. Due to player injuries and players who received Covid, they messed up.Although this result was not satisfactory for Chelsea, it made them shift Liverpool's position to 2nd place in the standings, after they were beaten by Leicester in their last match.

It's disappointing to see Chelsea play like an average team. Does Chelsea's title dream fade away? I'm rooting for Manchester City this season!
City looks really unstoppable, yesterday was their 10th win in a row. With Chelsea having a Covid crisis and Liverpool soon losing both Mane and Salah, it is fair to say that they made a huge step towards the title.
There's still a lot of games left to play but at this point an 8-point gap in front of Chelsea and 9 in front of Liverpool who played a game less looks big enough. Especially since they are playing against each other next.
I'll give Liverpool the advantage in that game - Chelsea looks in a bit of a crisis - they drew 4 of their last 5 games.

Now the key is in Manchester City If they continue to be consistent like this then the title with Man city can be confirmed
Actually I hope Chelsea did it but they haven't been consistent so far too many draws lately chelsea missed 3 games with only 9 points in the last 5 matches
Now i don't expect much with them too many blemishes.
goals made occurred early in the game. this may be the defense of Brentford not ready with a quick attack.
it was a tough game for Brentford, but they did quite well. a strong defense and better prepared after conceding it is difficult to return in penetrating City. seeing City can only make 1 goal is very surprising. despite the defeat of Brentford, they played very well by implementing a good strategy to contain City.
You know, it was a match that didn't look amazing. Manchester City dominated the pitch even though they couldn't score more than 1 goal against Brentford. In the second half Manchester City had a bit of a problem as there were quite a few attacks from the Brentford players but not very good chances. Brentford defended quite well, it was good to prevent Manchester City from scoring a lot of goals. it was a tough game for Brentford, but they did quite well. a strong defense and better prepared after conceding it is difficult to return in penetrating City. seeing City can only make 1 goal is very surprising. despite the defeat of Brentford, they played very well by implementing a good strategy to contain City.
The win took Manchester City to a 10-match unbeaten run in the Premier League after they lost to Crystal Palace at the end of October. Manchester City's next match is vs Arsenal and it's a big macth at the start of 2022.
What a great week it has been for Manchester City! Because Chelsea and Liverpool both lost points at the same time. Liverpool even lost to Leicester in their away game by 1-0. It was really unexpected for me honestly. Liverpool were clearly the dominant team in the game but Leicester played really smart and secured 3 points. And Chelsea made a big mistake against Brighton last night. They should have scored their second goal earlier and ended the hopes of their competitor. But they couldn't and Brighton benefited from their chance in the last minutes and obtained one point by 1-1.
And Manchester City managed to beat Brentford by 1-0 away even though they didn't play very well. Now the gap is really wide with Chelsea and Liverpool in the standings. If these two teams can't gather themselves up soon, Manchester City would be close to win another title second time in a row.

Unfortunately, the EPL is gradually moving from "4 teams fighting for first place" to a format of "6 teams fighting for second place". Undoubtedly, this is interesting (for example, many are following the rise of Arsenal and wish it success), but I think all the fans first of all want to see a serious fight for the championship.
I think they've stopped saying Big 4 for a while now and started saying "six" but yeah, if not for Liverpool, City steamroller would have just cantered to every title in the past 6.
And that's why Liverpool and Klopp have been getting a lot of neutral supporters too, though, and for sure, people would love to see Chelsea up there again, because they've been giving City a bit to chew on.
Can't wait to meet City again, but then we've to get past Chelski first...
Given City's 8-point lead, this construction is no longer relevant. The rest of the teams are distributed more evenly from the 2nd place to the last. Hopefully City will have a recession at some point and we will see a resurgence of intrigue.
As for the love of neutral fans for Liverpool, I do not think that this is due to its tournament achievements - in my opinion Liverpool is attractive because of its uncompromising manner of play and the large number of dramatic matches that it gets.

Goal well-deserved. I would have been annoyed if Brighton didn't score to equalise after missing so many chances of winning Chelsea.
Now Chelsea will stop their useless delay tactics
Last night was terrible for Chelsea. This is the same thing that happened when Chelsea played against Everton last two weeks ago.
Each moment Chelsea scored a goal, they will feel relaxed, will not be able to top-up more goals. They will start playing delay tactics for the match to be over. Forgetting that in football is not meant to be so. Your opponent has a chance of scoring a die-minute goal anytime.

Today we have one match in the Premier League Manchester United v Burnley as usual Manchester is definitely a favorite here but after several surprising matches
it seems we have to carefully place bets trap may still be there because it's a Moneyline bet is not the main choice I prefer Both Teams to Score.
Burnley will try to get points to stay away from the red zone even though we know it's hard to do at Old Trafford.

Brentford surprised me with how well they held up against high flying Manchester city, am certain most punters would have expected to see not less than 3 goals in this fixture but they were limited to only one goal which is commendable on the defensive side of things. With what i saw yester night if they can build on this solid defensive structure they should be able to get better results with fine turning of the front side to try get maximum points going forward.
Otherwise city is destined to be crowned champions for this one.

brighton played well last night against defending champions chelsea, where brighton was able to kick towards the goal 6 times, while chelsea was only able to kick towards the goal only 5 times, brgthon controlled the ball with 53%, while chelsea 47%, Brighton was also able to make 473 passes, while Chelsea only made 430 passes. According to my prediction, a big team like Chelsea must be under a lot of pressure, because they are required to win, while Brighton is not under much pressure, Brighton is only required to stay. in league one epl, chelsea has now shifted lifetpol from second place in the standings, but liferpol still has one game left, liferpol has only played 19 matches, while chelsea has played 20 matches last night, their meeting on the 2nd will prove who is the best of them, manchester city can now breathe a sigh of relief, because their points are already far apart from their rivals design, but manchester city must also remain vigilant because the competition is still long, anything can happen in football.. Although this result was not satisfactory for Chelsea, it made them shift Liverpool's position to 2nd place in the standings, after they were beaten by Leicester in their last match.

Even if Manchester didn't give me the kind of performance I was expecting at least they delivered their work
By defeating Brentford by 1 goal, that is the most important thing to be done .
Still expecting more wins for Manchester city this weekend.

Yes it is really sad to see Chelsea losing some points lately, 3 draw in the last 5 matches means they lost 6 points because in a paper they should have won the 3 draw matches against average/mediocre team. They are now in 2nd position with 8 points behind Manchester City as the leader, but they may down to 3rd if Liverpool win the 20th match. I have no idea what is happening with Chelsea, they were strong since the start but now they are not as strong as what they used to show.
The only big problem Chelsea can't solve it is a chance creation(scoring around the opponent's 18 box is a problem for the guys- they lack creativity). I’ve watchedTuchel’s post match comments and he really needs to stop with the excuses. We had enough to beat Brighton and we failed to do so, I don’t see the same patterns of play that I was seeing at the that at start of the season (with the wingbacks making out to in runs and the inside forwards alternating between staying in the half space and staying out wide) and we look profoundly vulnerable in the midfield, it’s time for a tactical switch in formation and in my honest opinion we should just use the 3-5-2 instead of the 3-4-2-1 as it provides and extra midfielder and a bit of stability. I would also consider reverting back to a 4-2-3-1 we’ve previously used this formation before .
Getting good and convincing results in the previous 2 matches, made me believe about Chelsea last night. Even though I only bet ML for Chelsea's victory, but again and again Chelsea made me disappointed when I bet for him. I knew victory was in sight for Chelsea but sadly, Danny Welbeck was able to score the equaliser in the last minute of the game. Chelsea who played at home should not have stopped their attacks to make another goal, but a one-goal lead made Chelsea lower their attack at least Brighton looked to dominate the match in the second half.
Supposedly if they can win it will make them have 3 points leads from LFC who will be the next opponent in the 21st week.Man United vs Burnley, I bet on Man United the odds are very low and they should have won against Burnley, but still this bet can disappointing because Man United still not impressive in the performance, Can they make more than one goals?.
