I think this can be a 3-3 draw  Cool

Van Dijk is playing decent IMO and right now he is playing a decent role in CB and not pushing him too hard I suppose and that is doing enough job. Now Lukaku vs Van Dijk is a debate that I thought would come after end of this gameweek and going over it I ask- What does it take to handle Lukaku? We all saw the first game and I honestly think Lukaku in the PL needs to have some pace. Question is who reacts quick to one's move. IMO Van Dijk has great awareness and great reading of the opponents plays. I think Van Dijk would be ready with all the deliveries being done from wing-backs to inside for Lukaku to throw in some shots off header or Lukaku receiving the ball and trying to find some room to slot in some shots. I feel like Van Dijk and his defense line would be ready for Blues attacks in the next match.

Lukaku slow seems to be a major complaint in England yes,,, but I do not think anyone in Italy ever complained. But maybe he does not need to be quick, he just needs to be strong and that he is. I think VVD looks fast and strong, but maybe not as much as Lukaku, who reminds me a lot of Drogba,,, except not as fast!
How I wish Chelsea can play an open game like they played against arsenal when playing liverpool come saturday but they won't, they will play defensive and look for to play on the counter because they can't outplay Liverpool with open play. Liverpool will be playing at Anfield and that is an added advantage to them. Lukaku and Virgil Van Dijk is the center attraction in Sunday’s game. Lukaku might look like a threat to many defenders because of his predatory finishing in and around the box make him the ultimate handful for a defender. But VVD is entirely fast and he’s more intelligent and he knows how to cope with powerful attackers.

Is there anyone else here hoping that the odds would improve for Man Ciry after Arsenal's huge win over West Brom? It changed a little which was pretty disappointing for me hehe. Arsenal fans could at least have a glimmer of hope that they could pull an upset. 1x2 odds at 10 will be rewarding to them.

After Kane decided that he is going to stay not force a move to Man City with
Tottenham and play for one more season.
The latest developments are accelerating regarding the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Manchester City.
 According to the Daily Mail, citing Portuguese sources, the Juventus star has agreed to personal terms related to his new contract with Manchester City.
The newspaper added that Ronaldo contacted Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola, at a time when Juventus was in negotiations with City to complete the deal.

Chelsea.They are in good form as well,but I predict Chelsea to win this one.

They are the same, the first two games won. This is Liverpool's test at home. If they can win, I think they deserve the title challenge this season. Chelsea are also in good form. Tuchel has made a bigger difference than Lampard. Matches are unpredictable but maybe chelsea will have the upper hand because they have better players and are champions of the UCL. But remember that Van Dijk is back, this makes liverpol better.

That's too early to say like that, but it is OK to say like that as any good teams deserve the EPL title this season.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea are in a good form so I predict that it will be a tough match with less goal as the real fight might be in the midfield position.
The result will not be in a big goal difference no matter who will win, probably it will ended with a draw.
No favorite in this match, odds for Liverpool is 2.4 and Chelsea 2.9
Which one to choose? I will prefer to avoid to bet on Money Line for this match, double chance is better choice imo.
Liverpool begin good performance in two match and very early to favorite for Liverpool back champion again, almost the same last season Liverpool more dominance at the early primer league begin but when many important player injury they loss many point on home and away until Manchester City got the first position, I think need waiting on February next year when many most important match if Liverpool pass to knock out champion league stage.

There is another superb game this week: Liverpool vs Chelsea.

They both started the season with the same statistics. They both won their first two games. They scored 5 goals and conceded 0. These are both favourite teams for the league championship. Liverpool are advantageous here as the game is going to be played in Anfield. However, Chelsea have Tuchel and his system. We know what they are capable of. They beat the best, Manchester City in the last season many times as you can remember. And they defeated Liverpool here 1-0 also. So, Klopp should be very careful in this game against them. Otherwise, they would get another loss against Chelsea consecutively.

But about the title winner of course still can't be proven in this match, we can remember about Manchester City last season which was not so good at the beginning of the season, but in the end Manchester City was able to become a title winner. So this match cannot be used as a benchmark for who will become the title winner but indeed, both are on fire at the moment which is of course difficult to predict who will win but I am sure, in this match there will be many goals too because even though both are in their best performance but they are still not strong in defense.
In Premier League and other national leagues, champion is decided after a whole season. What team earn most points in a whole season will take the trophy. No team can win the trophy after 5, 10 good matches and Premier League 2021- 2022 is at its beginning.

The Super Sunday is cool to watch but the one in this weekend won't decide the trophy because two teams have many matches and things left to be done in order to earn enough points to win the title.

I have more belief in Chelsea but Liverpool have good players and if they can play a good match, they can beat Chelsea. Anyway, I have more belief that the winner would be Chelsea.

Since arsenal sacked wenger, arsenal's game is no longer consistent in my opinion, you can see last season not a single arsenal player was injured and they played quite well in the FA cup and carabao, but when playing in the premier league as if arsenal lost their strength
Indeed, your observation is quite right and I agree so much on most of the points you've brought up. Just imagine the kind of game they had last night. Even though it was a championship side, West Bromwich Albion isn't the kind of team for an easy and humiliating win but Arsenal ridiculed them yesterday. I hoped for there sake that they win and they did but, never expected a 6 goals to nothing scoreline. You can see Aubameyang being so phenomenal in the game and even with a lost chance, he still manages to convert it into an assist for a goal. They need to bring this sort of energy to the EPL and not be about these other competitions.

They both are one of the closest teams to be able to reach the Premier League title this season. And like you said, none of them started badly. So this is going to be a really tough match for both teams. Even if Liverpool are more advantageous due to playing home, Chelsea have the potential to win even here also.
Well, I think with just 2 games gone, it's too early to guess who has the best chance to the trophy. They both @Chelsea and Liverpool might be a very good side but then, If I were to be Liverpool, I would be very weary of Chelsea as they've turned to be a very dangerous side lately with there level of competitiveness.

Instead of betting on double chance then I think it would be better to bet on both teams to score, in addition to getting better odds because you yourself are also sure that each team will score one goal.

Hot game This weekend Liverpol Vs Chelsea. It's hard to predict, but it looks like Tuchel's men are better. But these are just player stats, anything can happen. They will play on Anflied. Of course this is the advantage of liverpol. Moreover, the audience has entered the stadium. They are the 12th player who can bring down the opponent's mentality. The history of Liverpool's three matches, two wins and one loss

Chelsea managed to beat Liverpool the last time in Anfield, 1-0. There wasn't Lukaku and Liverpool were having big problems on their defense as Virgil van Dijk was injured. But now, things are different for both of these teams. I see a more powerful Chelsea and Liverpool as well. This should be a very competitive game surely and each side shouldn't have problem on scoring. Maybe we could see a draw at the end.

Both teams have same points, goals and haven’t conceded a single goal since the start of the season now. Chelsea is the better side in this fixture. They’ve been on form since during the champions league prep. How Tuchel has turned the players into supermen is something that’s far from reasoning. I think the summary of this weekend game is more about Lukaku and Virgil Van Dijk. Lukaku will try to benefit from Virgil's fresh restart after he suffered a knee injury last season against Jordan Pickford. But Van Dijk has quickly put those injury woes behind him, however, impressing in Liverpool’s successive wins and maintaining a clean slate at the back line to start the new Premier League campaign in style.

He, Aubameyang just returned from an injury/Covid-19 and he wasn’t really fit to even play. He maybe just got fielded to gain match fitness or competition awareness to as to stay strong for the next couple of games. Firstly I’ll say there’s a whole lot of difference between a striker and a winger. Also a team performance is directly dependent on the tactical and connectivity among the teammates. Pepe has been in shape since the end of last season. He’s always been playing on the wings setting up key passes for Aubameyang and Lacazette. He couldn’t do that against Brentford and Chelsea because he was not able to read Martinelli's runs and positional display. Martinelli is best functioned on the left wing and not a false-9. He needs some level of experience to play in that position. Aubameyang will play well against Man city if he plays with Lacazette and Pepe with Odegaard behind them.

Arsenal has done beyond my expectations tonight and they've still got the energy to do more. 3 goals in just first half, its second half and there have been 3 more goals and the count isn't looking like its done yet. This is so unbelievable from this once thought to be a laxy team this season. Hope they bring this vibe to the EPL. Just hope they don't get to score all there goals tonight and have got nothing left for Manchester City by the weekend, lol. I think now is the best time to rest all them players for Saturdays game becuase, Pep Guardiola is very much paying attention to this game.

Yeah, it was like they used up all of their chances in this match against West Brom. A 6-0 win is really impressive and Aubameyang's performance also (hat-trick). But I wonder if this result will incentivize them to play better than expected and make Manchester City some difficulties. But I'm still not expecting such thing to happen. I think that City will have the control of the match and defeat them the way they want.
Even though arsenal won big against west brom in the second round of the EFL cup, but i have a little doubt that arsenal will be able to play well against manchester city, in my opinion, a win against west brom can't be a reference if arsenal has returned to its best performance , because I saw that in that match the West Brom players made a lot of mistakes and their defense played not coordinated at all, making it easier for Arsenal players to score goals, and of course Manchester City have a squad level far compared to West Brom and even Arsenal at this time.

Don’t you think a win like this would spark them to play fine against Manchester city? If you look at the first two Arsenal games, Brentford and Chelsea, Arsenal didn’t field the matches with most of their first team players and as such didn’t they didn’t get the result they wanted. Balogun and Martinelli in the attack? They lack the experience to make true runs and don’t have the strikers Instinct at all. Against Chelsea, Pepe would make a count-in from the right and will delay his passes because there wasn’t no runs or positional play from Martinelli. Aubameyang and Lacazette had a good game, making the midfielders very creative because of their style of play. I think Man city will have to prepare more because Arsenal’s first team is now out of injury and ready to start.

Actually against brentford, arsenal were not able to create creativity in their game in scoring goals and in my opinion the absence of aubameyang and lacazete didn't really matter much, because they still have strikers like martinelli, while in the chelsea match, arsenal had difficulty getting the ball from the chelsea players because they played faster and many arsenal players were not focused on their position so that the chelsea players were too easy to break through the arsenal defense.
And in your opinion, after arsenal fielded aubameyang against chelsea, whether it improves the game arsenal?
I don't think so at all.

The way Newport were defending anyone could have past good amount of goals. Shouldn't be much happy with their performance as their real test is in PL. Next up is City against them and having started up quite badly after losing opening two matches, efforts will be to avoid the 3rd but they are up against a very good team so won't be easy. Good news is that Lacazette and Aubameyang has recovered so they will be available and also our new signing Odeegard also might feature in this match. So hoping for a good match and make less defensive mistakes in those earlier two matches.

Wow what a great performance, even though its agnist a championship side,  I just hope that it will boost our players morale and we will be able to watch such a beautful game in near future  from The team that I loved most.
In the meantime let's pray for man city , because they had no idea what awaits them. Odegaard has a really good game and He brought the spark, the free flowing football to the game. Was he the missing jigsaw? I don’t know but connecting the midfield to the attack and setting up play is what we’ve been asking for in the first two games. Let’s await Man city.
