What Chelsea needs to improve at the moment is self-confidence in order to support a very good performance because after all, by looking at the conditions that occur now actually when talking about players they do not lack anything, in fact they are an excess of players, many of whom are not really needed because they buy only based on ambition and desire rather than the needs that make Chelsea have a large bubble of players but are not very useful very well because their confidence is still very minimal which makes their performance still unstable.

Bringing Osimhen will definitely have an impact on them in attack but in the end this also has a big risk which is a good player when the mentality and confidence that Chelsea currently lacks can have an impact on performance so instead of burning money continuously it would be better for them to be able to maximize the players currently owned.

Arsenal's proposed visit to the Etihad stadium on Sunday will undoubtedly be the club's most difficult league game of the season because they're not just going to face the reigning champions but also the league leaders that are yet to lose any point in the league since the start of the season. Arsenal who play in the UCL later tonight will as well have shorter resting time than Manchester City who played last night.
Pep Guardiola I know isn't happy with his team's result against Inter Milan yesterday so I expect them to be at their best on Sunday as they try to continue the 100% start to the new league season.

I also didn't expect Liverpool to lose to Nottingham Forest at home even though it was only by one goal, but of course it was very detrimental to Liverpool who were trying to maintain their position while aiming for full points in every match in the Premier League. And the next match for Liverpool is hosting Bournemouth this weekend and I think Liverpool will definitely try to win with more goals for full points because if they lose at home repeatedly it will definitely be very embarrassing for Liverpool.

Yes and initially I thought that Manchester City would still win this match at least a narrow win because after all they were playing at home in this match, but it turned out that until the last minute the game was really difficult for them, and what amazed me was from Inter Milan's goalkeeper Yan Sommer who was really extraordinary in this match, he made a big contribution by making various saves that made it really difficult for Haaland to break into their goal.
Although each team won points, of course this is a loss for the home team, plus this is their first match in the UCL, and indirectly this will be a big lesson for Guardiola.

Next, yes, they will play with Arsenal, Arteta is not an easy opponent for Manchester City, they are only two points behind in the standings, meaning that Manchester City must be able to end the match with full points, there is no reason for Guardiola to disappoint the fans for the second time at home.

Very true, I honestly didn't expect him to be so strong, perhaps this season he is in super form and is really scoring goal after goal.
I haven't yet understood how to frame him as a player, whether a technical one, or a predatory attacker, or a purely physical attacker.
He certainly scores a lot of goals!

The match will be a difficult match for both teams at the moment in maintaining their position in the Premier League standings, I think there are many reasons that make us doubt that Arsenal can get poin even thier will target draw result in the match, Manchester City so far has squad depth, performance and also consistency is quite good although they are rumored to lose De Bruyne in the match,  While Arsenal actually be a storm of injuries which will make them unable to perform optimally to repeat their ability to win points like last season at City home, last season Arsenal had the perfect squad in making it difficult for Manchester City But when Odegaard and Zinchenko and Merino have to miss the match later, are there other players who are worthy and have the same ability to replace their position in the Arsenal squad now?

Although maybe Arsenal will try to use the same strategy and line up as against Tottenham, but I think it will be difficult for the Arsenal squad to be able to withstand the pressure and also the attack from Manchester City which is filled with many good players at the moment, to be honest, I personally hope Arsenal can maintain their positive trend against Manchester City later but on the other hand I am also pessimistic that Arsenal can get points from Manchester City.

Arsenal's match against Manchester City is of course a match that is much awaited because as we know, Arsenal now really wants to become champions because of course Arsenal have been in a row, only reaching 2nd place at the end of the season.

and of course, if you look at Manchester City's latest match in the UCL against Inter Milan, it certainly looks very tense, but in my opinion it is normal that the two teams were forced to end in a draw when competing because the two teams are of course equally strong.

Indeed, Arsenal performed extraordinary even though many of their players were injured, but yes, against Tottenham of course Arsenal won and of course that is a good thing for Arsenal and of course Arteta will definitely prepare his squad to be able to win the match he will play against a strong team, namely Manchester City. and of course Arteta will also show his best qualities.

and in my opinion it is certain that with the injury of the professional midfielder (De Bruyne) the game will certainly not be like when De Bruyne was there, and certainly Arteta will not waste this golden opportunity to make Arsenal win in that match, but I have a feeling that Pep's troops will have the potential to win that match even if De Bruyne doesn't play because I'm sure Pep will definitely be able to overcome all this. and in that match it looks like I want to bet on Manchester City winning. and to be honest, I predict that this percentage will potentially come true if for example De Bruyne is there, but of course because De Bruyne has great potential, he won't play. I see Manchester City will still win, but of course I predict that the score that will be produced when they compete will be close.

The Saga between Victor Osimhen and Chelsea was base on financial disagreement. The price Chelsea presented to Osimhen was not attractive so he rejected them and join Galatasaray. Enzo Maresca was hoping seriously on Jackson and from the first gave Jackson played in the club while send a signal to Enzo Maresca that Osimhen is needed in the club. I have been saying this. It is not early to judge Jackson performance. Osimhen first game in Galatasaray was awesome. Though Osimhen didn't scored any goals but he performed credibly. And made assist for others to score. So if someone is good, he is good and not when the tournament has gone far before he showcase his talent. Osimhen was needed in Chelsea but they ignored him.

Arsenal is really ambitious to find points and it is very clear that the derby is important for both teams, whether Tottenham or Arsenal, both want to win the match, but Arsenal actually played aggressively, winning by a narrow score is not a problem, but embarrassing their eternal rivals at home is much better for Arsenal, talking about Man City for now Man City is still considered strong, whether they want to play as hosts or guests, they have swept both clean, so it is not surprising that Man City is still consistent in its last 4 matches in winning.

I wonder why people find it easy to underrate Arsenal against the Manchester City club whenever they meet. Arsenal still got the potentials of working hard on the challenge and winning against the Manchester City. But I want to also observe the match based on the performance of both managers of which Guardiola is more experienced than Arteta but you can also be rest assured that Arteta is also an highly result oriented manager and will work hard to see a good result for his team.

Jackson already have challenge against his teammates which are Nkunku and Felix. If they can play better Jackson, Maresca might bench Jackson.

Osimhen's market value is too high and they currently have so many players, so it's not make sense to sign more player. Chelsea need to sell their current players first, I expect Maresca should able to find best 11 players in this season, so he can sell some players when the transfer window open.

Man City ‘could be expelled from all competitions’ if guilty of 115 charges

Manchester City could be kicked out of the Premier League, if they are found guilty of breaching financial fair play, FFP, rules.

However, the punishment could be even harsher, with their status in other competitions in question.

The Telegraph claims that City could be expelled from the Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup, if they lose their case against the Premier League.

City are going up against the Premier League over 115 alleged breaches of FFP.

They are accused of failing to provide accurate financial details from 2009 for a nine-year period.

The Premier League champions then failed to co-operate with subsequent investigations.
City deny all allegations and have recruited an all-star legal team to defend themselves and a verdict is not expected until early 2025.

The match was a very interesting match from several matches because both teams did not want to lose in the first match in the UCL. Man City has a very strong attack and defense line, but Inter Milan also has the same squad as Man City. So both teams strategize to score but unfortunately both teams have defenses that cannot be underestimated.
A draw for me is a very good result because it shows that the spirit of both teams is very great in order to win the title in the UCL this season.

But it is very sad that my bet had to lose in this match because both teams did not score anything like a surprise happened.

Not much different from the final two years ago, this match was very difficult for Manchester City because Inter Milan built a very solid defense. Inter's back line played quite well in holding back the attacks of the home players, Yann Sommer became Inter's hero after making five saves so that they did not concede a goal, the match ended without a single goal being scored by either team. This result is a loss for City because the visitors managed to bring home one point from the Etihad stadium. Next, Guardiola must prepare his team to face Arsenal in the EPL, I hope this result does not affect the performance of City who are trying to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

After winning the derby by 1-0 against Tottenham Arsenal is going to be more stronger but the way Man City perform in their home ground is lethal. Let see what happened in this Sunday. I think Arsenal beat Man City this time.

The way Man U won against barnsley is a way which Man U want and now they show other teams how different they are lets see how Ten Hag continues this victory or not?

Its a quite heartbroken for a LFC fan because the way they performed in first 3 games everyone is expecting to win this game against Nott Forest but the strike at 72 minute cause a lot of trouble for LFC and also lose 3 points and lose its second position straight to 4th now in EPL.
A home ground lose at early stages effects alot.

Inter and City are two big champions from different leagues and you don't expect Inter to watch City win them like babies when they were not happy that City won them in UCL finals last two seasons. Pep knows that it will be difficult for his men to win Intwr and if you watch the last quarter of the match, Pep was less concern that he men couldn't score anymore as he accepted his fate that it will be a draw match.

It might be a tough season for City in UCL because they started their first match in a draw, although, they played with a strong team. Playing City needs a good defense and counter attack if you want to win them or draw the game. Inter is the king of defense and that was why it was very difficult for City to breakthrough.

Arsenal match with them might be different but I believe that Arteta already knows the pattern he will use to play City. Haaland didn't play anything yesterday but was only running round the field.

I understand your concern about Jackson's performance with Chelsea. Although it's early in his contract period, fans expect immediate impact, particularly from strikers. You're right that there's pressure for him to prove that Chelsea made the right decision in signing him long term. But, we must remember that football is a team game and there could be various reasons for his current lack of goals, like maybe he's not getting the right service from teammates or he's still adjusting to the team's style of play. As for your comparison with Victor Osimhen, it's perhaps premature. Both are talents in their own right. They just need the right environment and support to reach their potential.

Victor Osimhen is much more deserving than Jackson.

The Blues will visit West Ham headquarters, I want them not to share points with the home team and this also demands Jackson who has renewed his contract with Chelsea until 2033 must prove that his contract is not in vain. With high hopes but not having Jackson name on the top scorer board is really embarrassing. I think there's nothing wrong with saying Jackson must challenge his fate at Chelsea, because no matter what and without another striker he must be independent. If Jackson fails to prove himself, it means Chelsea management has made a reckless decision to sign him.
