The match between Chelsea vs Aston Villa team in the Premier League has already started. Chelsea team is leading by 2 goals so far. The players of Aston Villa team have not been able to score any goals in this match so far. In today's match, it does not seem that Aston Villa team will be able to score any goals because the players of Aston Villa team are a much stronger team than Chelsea team. We have seen that Aston Villa team could not do anything good in the previous matches, we are waiting to see how they will perform in this match.

Aston Villa was no threat for the Blues this weekend, because they've fumbles in recent games and you don't expect thrilling vigorous victory from average club.Chelsea succeeded in accumulating three solid points at Stamford Bridge. This is the Blues we're talking about because its been a longterm since we've experienced such stellar stats from them. Enzo Maresca is breaking limits for the team, with his embedded patterns, we've watch a whole lot of thing moving forward in his regime. With the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer, Chelsea was able to sealed the big winnings and a joyful chorus filled the atmosphere.

Liverpool vs Man City match is quite tight. Liverpool managed to lead by 1 goal from Gakpo in the 12th minute. And now it is approaching the end of the second half but Man City did not get many opportunities to score goals. Moreover, Salah scored Liverpool's second goal from the penalty spot. Making the atmosphere worse for Man City.
If this result lasts until the end of the match, and Liverpool wins the match, then this result will extend Man City's bad results. There is something wrong with Pep's squad. He must be very uncomfortable with the results of Man City's last few matches.
On the other hand, Liverpool with this victory will be more solid at the top of the standings. And Man City dropped far to 5th position in the standings.

The match ended 2-0 in favour of Liverpool. The losing streak in the premier league continues for Manchester City. They have never played this poorly for a long time since Pep Guardiola took over as the head coach, so also; this happen to be the first time that Pep Guardiola will be having a very rough time for a long time in his coaching career. He looks very upset, demoralized and confused, I just imagine how he talks to them in the dressing room after losses upon losses like this. Pep Guardiola that I know hasn’t lost hope yet since we are not even halfway into the season. If they can still maintain a good position on the standings and continue to move alongside other top teams in the league, he’ll have a chance for the league title still. With more than 20 matches left to be played, the fate of many teams that are above them now can change because it’s not about surpassing a team on the standings but it is more about you maintaining that performance in the league, consistency matters the most and if you can’t give it, you’ll not last long in your position. Let’s see how far Liverpool can maintain this consistency and finishing the league in.

It's sad seeing Manchester city playing this way this is not the traditional Manchester city that we know I don't really know what is happening to Manchester city and pep because everything seems to be falling apart for them with what I see their main problem is goal scoring there's a discunetion between the middle field and the attack that fluidity of the ball moving from the mid field to the attack is missing losing about four premier league games in a row is something else and with the way things are going Liverpool seems to be running away with the league title because the point difference is getting bigger with and wider and it will be difficult for teams to close in on them because looking at the top four teams at the top of the table I can't really see any team that is serious and consistent with form

You are right, the season still has many matches left. And Liverpool will be required to maintain their current consistency. Arsenal who dominated last season at the beginning of the season were finally thwarted by Man City to win the Premier League title. And I hope Liverpool does not experience the same fate. They are currently ahead in points quite well.
But there is an interesting fact that Liverpool has currently managed to beat 3 teams that won their domestic league trophies last season. Just beat Man City with a score of 2-0. beat La Liga champions Madrid 2-0 and beat Leverkusen who won the Bundesliga trophy last season with a score of 4-0. they will also face PSV, the Eredivisie champions, will Liverpool beat last season's champions?

Aston Villa really experienced a severe decline because after all, previously Aston Villa managed to have 11 matches without losing in all competitions. But unfortunately, after Aston Villa got these good results, and then Aston Villa did not get any wins in the last 8 matches in all competitions. With bad results like this, of course, it makes Aston Villa now its position also continues to deteriorate, although previously Aston Villa was in the upper zone, but now Aston Villa has dropped to the middle zone. If Aston Villa does not manage to recover quickly, then of course Aston Villa is difficult to return to the top zone of the standings, but I don't know what problems Aston Villa is experiencing to make it bad like that.

By the way, Enzo Maresca really managed to make Chelsea have results and be in a good position this season. Although it was not easy for Chelsea to recover quickly, but they still succeeded with the great efforts they made. Of course, I also don't want to lose a moment like this to keep trusting Chelsea when betting and so is about Liverpool. In fact, Arne Slot has also managed to make Liverpool even more impressive this season and with Arne Slot's success so far, at least it seems to make Liverpool and fans forget that they have been left behind by Klopp who has provided extraordinary results in his era.

Chelsea full strength football team gave osum effort in this match and we saw on handed match and match was ended with the result of 3-0 . Aston Villa full strength team could not do any goal in this match and stat of that team was not impressive.  That match was happen in the Stamford Bridge stadium.  Jackson  was the player who did first goal of this match and  he did first goal at 7 minutes. We saw next goal by the same team but now Fernandez did second goal of this match and last goal did by Palmer and he did this goal at 83 minutes.  The stats of Chelsea team is amazing . The possession of Chelsea team was 65 percent and pass accuracy of that team was also excellent.Aston Villa team was very poor and that team have to look on their limitations.

Man United vs Everton (MU win)

After Amorim's 2 silly experiments with Malacia and Antony against Bodo/Glimt it seems like he realizes that priorities and winning are paramount and he's got the momentum this time around with players that I think are much more stable than his previous lineups.

The game ended without a hitch for them with 2 braces from the feet of Rashford and Zirkzee that saw Manchester United end the week's festivities on a high at Old Trafford.

Their momentum is starting to build now although doubts about Amorim are still very big due to the departure of Rudd van Nistelrooy but it seems he still wants to show that Manchester United's decision to sign him from Sporting was not a mistake.

It was a rough game for Villa, even if i had suspected Chelsea of winning this game i had the opinion of a different result not like this, the defeat was really a bad one for their record. Chelsea has been up doing this whole season, Maresca truly understand what he is building with the club, despite some lapses in the squad, he still manages to extract useful points, clearly he now have higher hopes of qualifying for the Champions League if they would keep up this performance.

Manchester United did an impressive performance today, 4 goals against Everton, not a tough team but at worst it has helped them move forward on the table, now at the 9th position. I don't know what is up for Manchester City, they are taking too long to get on track, the gap from Liverpool is becoming really ambiguous each played week, the title might be settled on them.

Chelsea under the coaching of Enzo Maresca has been able to rise from the slump where they were able to show their strength again when facing strong teams. In today's match I was amazed to see the development of Chelsea's game which is getting better where they are very united with each other and they are also able to withstand the pressure of their opponents, it is really good development done by Maresca.

Aston Villa is not a weak opponent because they have many quality players in their team but by improving Chelsea performance, Aston Villa was unable to keep up with the previous match well. As a result, Chelsea was able to launch many good attacks and if you look at the match statistics, of course Chelsea is very reasonable to win with a score of 3-0 because they were able to make many accurate shots and attacks.

[Velvet78]

Really smooth game by Liverpool.    They controlled the first half without problems. Manchester City tried to do something later on but I can't say they were very well in general anyway.

This didn't surprise me though. Manchester City were already crying for help like I said. If I'm not wrong it is a 6-game streak of without a win. What a mess... I hope Guardiola doesn't try to injure himself more after this result. He is really unhappy with this horrible streak. The point gap with the leader literally has gone up to 11 points.

Liverpool are really comfortable at the top. Arne Slot is running for a new record I guess.

[kawetsriyanto]

After Amorim's 2 silly experiments with Malacia and Antony against Bodo/Glimt it seems like he realizes that priorities and winning are paramount and he's got the momentum this time around with players that I think are much more stable than his previous lineups.

I think Amorim assumed it wasn't so difficult to play against Bodo/Glimt. So he put Malacia and Antony on the starting lineup. Luckily Man United won the match, people can feel quite satisfied with Amorim's tactic.  

By the way, Amorim at least already have some permanent players on the defense line. he prefers using De Light-Martinez-Mazraoui.

The game ended without a hitch for them with 2 braces from the feet of Rashford and Zirkzee that saw Manchester United end the week's festivities on a high at Old Trafford.

Yep. Rashford and Zirkzee played well today, each of them scored 2 goals. Amorim has tried to always rotate Man United attackers. I think there duo Rashford and Zirkzee who showed a more productive result. I think they deserve to play again as starters in the next matches.

Their momentum is starting to build now although doubts about Amorim are still very big due to the departure of Rudd van Nistelrooy but it seems he still wants to show that Manchester United's decision to sign him from Sporting was not a mistake.

I think the doubt on Amorim are starting to diminish. The more wins got by Man United, the more people will trust on Amorim. I think it is about the time that Amorim will show his quality to anyone. Sure, it is not a mistake to hire him if he can improve the performance of Man United. He also should have the intention to build Man United squad for a long run.

Liverpool are really comfortable at the top. Arne Slot is running for a new record I guess.

4 consecutive defeats in the Premier League is Pep Guardiola's worst record in his history with Manchester City. He didn't have a record like this before, but this season is completely different. Manchester City have had great difficulty recovering from their downturn this season and they look like a team that has lost confidence when playing. Player performance changes, defense is poor, attack patterns are also ineffective.

The points gap with Liverpool is not 12, but 11 points for now. Liverpool's victory has strengthened the assumption that Liverpool are the team that will win the Premier League title this season, but the title race is expected to be tight if Arsenal can stop Liverpool for the rest of the season.

On the other hand, Liverpool with this victory will be more solid at the top of the standings. And Man City dropped far to 5th position in the standings.

In fact, in this match I saw Liverpool without strong pressure and not like a big match usually for this match because indeed in 90 minutes the match in the end was not as tight as imagined.

Manchester City did remain with their absolute possession but that's all it was nothing more. They struggled to move the ball around to create chances which in turn became a persistent problem as Haaland was heavily guarded and Manchester City struggled to find a finishing and target man.

On the contrary, Liverpool looked more effective when they did a fairly simple scheme but the pattern was very good especially when they continued to press and destroy City's mentality with their on target, of course this made them look more prepared.
With this result Manchester City are getting away from where they should be and Liverpool are very comfortable at the top of the table.

This result can be pressure for Pep. He became the target ridicule from Liverpool fans, "he will be fired soon" echoing on Anfield stadium after Salah created the second goal.
I think Liverpool has established them as champions this season, they play loose, their passing is accurate, and the strategy is suitable for the existing situation.
They're become the most stable club in Europe right now. I don't know how Arni Slot can change the team that was mediocre before to be superpower on England.
It's not just premier league, Liverpool also the 1st standing on Champions League. That something amazing that has been changed quickly by the manager.

Mohammed Salah becomes man of the match last night.

So many criticism channeled towards Mo Salah lately,  but he has done his best to shut the mouths of the them all on the pitch. They hate it or love it, he will be remembered as a Liverpool club legend. As much as I love how they've been playing,  I don't want to see them winning the Premier league competition. Ageing players in Man City a big issue for Pep as they can't keep up with the pace of the Premier League this season.

[Iranus]

Arsenal knows well how West Ham played to take a 4-0 lead until minute 36. Maybe because of preoccupation with attacking so conceded afterwards.
the 1st half match was very interesting to watch because both playing opensive, and attacking each other, but because Arteta's strategy is better, and has stronger material squad, so that arsenal can overcome Westham easily.
if I look how they take a lead, Arsenal is seem become stronger competitor for Liverpool and Manchester City, but if they can continue to maintain it, if they still continues to be airy, and inconsistent they may passed easily by Brighton.

After Odegaard returned, Arsenal have been flying again. I think Arteta is a good manager only when he has his players available. He always plays a very specific system, and without these specific players, he struggles to get results out. Now that most of his squad is back apart from White, which can be easily replaced by Jurrien Timber, he is starting to get good results again. But football is filled with injuries, the team that is able to get results with worse teams is the one which deserves to win the most trophies.

The way City is losing, it feels like they have the worst team in the world. Which is not the case because they still have a pretty decent and expensive team. When Klopp managed Liverpool, he always had a lot of injuries but he was always able to get results out with that team. That is something that is special, and really hard to accomplish.

we all know what is wrong with man city's squad that made them continue getting this kind of result, the simple and evident fact is that the players are not complete and if you have followed up most of their recent games, it's not just that they are losing, it is that even the way they are playing doesn't show that this is the same city that won straight four consecutive premier league in a row. look at the moment they brought in Doku into the team, you could see the energy he came with and the whole of that atmosphere took a different tune. KDB also was effective even though they brought him in a bit late, but you could see that he is not playing the usual football because he hasn't recovered fully.

this result is nothing strange and expectedly, it was never possible that this current city players that are making up the first xi will stand against this set of Liverpool players. the confidence on the Liverpool team has grown so strong that they aren't even considering any opposition as strong enough to play against them. at this point, getting a draw in any of their coming games will certainly look like they have lost the game. the plan of city should just be to work on remaining in the top four regardless of how tough it's going to be so they can still qualify for the next champions league cause with the way things are going, the beating run might still continue as the player lose confidence and become more desperate in the coming games.

Spurs vs Fulham (draw or Fulham)
Man United vs Everton (MU win)
Chelsea vs Aston Villa (Chelsea win)

Tottenham Hotspur has got to be a very useless club, not being consistent will definitely get them.down below this season,  I wonder what's going on within the dressing room. I hate the fact that Everton are doing poorly,  they can't afford to be relegated this season,  I think it's high time Sean Dyche is shown the exit. No atom of creativity was seen from the game they played yesterday. Loving this tactical Chelsea side Enzo Maresca a genius. Caicedo reminds me of Ngolo Kante, anyone agrees with me? Cole Palmer hustled for that goal ams finally got it.

[len01]

-snip

I think Spurs is in a very good mood after they were successfully beating City with decent score so i pick Spurs.

As for Man U vs Everton, Manchester United's odds looks very decent @1.66, playing at home, and they was bouncing after their win in Europa League. They will have a hard time to beat Everton, which is an away team. I think to pick Man United -0.75 makes sense.

The game between Chelsea vs Villa is pretty interesting. I remember the last time Chelsea burried Villa, yet i believe it will happen once again. So, i pick Chelsea.

The last game between Liverpool vs Manchester City is quite hard to predict. City was a winner last season. but they're just declining so hard. Meanwhile, Liverpool is getting even better under their new coach, Arne Slot.  They have not yet stopped their winning streak. My pick is Liverpool

It seems we have the same predicted result with 1 loss in those 4 games.
It was a mistake for me to expect Man City to perform as well as they used to and I even ignored Liverpool recent form and results. It was very disappointing to see Man City lose without a fight.

And in your prediction in the Spurs match, you could almost get a win if Spurs could take advantage of a good chance when Fulham got a red card and only played 10 players. But unfortunately Spurs performance was unable to score a winning score in the final minutes.

This is the result of my prediction,

Manchester City have had great difficulty recovering from their downturn this season and they look like a team that has lost confidence when playing. Player performance changes, defense is poor, attack patterns are also ineffective.

The points gap with Liverpool is not 12, but 11 points for now. Liverpool's victory has strengthened the assumption that Liverpool are the team that will win the Premier League title this season, but the title race is expected to be tight if Arsenal can stop Liverpool for the rest of the season.

It's a big joke Pep rotated Lewis to play as a right winger, while both Gundongan and Silva that really good in attacking instead of defending, Pep put them as a defensive midfielder. Pep is frustrated and he don't know how to solve it, this will be the worst season for them.

If Liverpool become a champion in this season, it will be a sweat last dance for Salah in Liverpool.
