After the previous match, Atalanta lost against Bologna, but that didn't make them give up and immediately came back to win and they did that when they hosted Lecce last weekend. Atalanta achieved a narrow victory after beating Lecce with a narrow score of 1-0 and making them continue to overshadow Bologna with a difference of 3 points. Again, Ademola Lookman is the key player who brought Atalanta to 3 points at home and so far the second striker from Nigeria has contributed 7 goals for Atalanta.

Well, for Lecce, they ended up continuing to experience decline in every match, even though at the start of this season they were at the top but again as a weak team they returned to their original habitat at the bottom. In the last 5 matches, Lecce only got one win and that was clearly a bad result for them and made it even easier to go down if they continued to lose in the next match.
Atlanta is one of the most inconsistent team in Serie A I am following them for few years with mostly they are having good start but then suddenly they have gone on wrong side and face issues which bring them down even once they were title contender, but suddenly they slip and have to stay at 5th or 6th spot in current season they are doing all as their usual business 7 loses from their 18 matches Fiorentina and Bologna already edge past them and now in next game they are going to visit Roma which is also good and improved even lost their last game against Juventus, but they were right on target which create good chances as well.

Currently, they are doing tough job for the staying in UEFA competitions, but they need to improve their performance with having quality players, but things are not going favourable for them so most chances they will do their best but still have to be much better and consistent.

Before now Atalanta used to be one of the top clubs in the serie A, competing with the likes of inter, juve, Milan, Napoli, Lazio and other top Italian football clubs but that is not the case anymore as they have suddenly taken a nosedive in recent years both in domestic and European competitions, they couldn't even make it to the champions league this season, this decline could also be attributed to the fact that Atalanta could not participate actively in the transfer market as other clubs do thereby failing to build a strong team that withstanding the challenges in the league, right now they seem a bit stable at the moment and I hope they maintain the status quo so they play in the champions league or the Europa league next season.

Arsenal lost 2-1 away to Fulham after taking the lead in the 5th minute.Arsenal are in a poor run of form and if they don't bounce back quickly they will fall behind in the title race.Arsenal were not at their best in the second half, taking the lead through Saka's goal but ending the first half 1-1. In the 59th minute Cordova-Reid's goal was an important win for Fulham who managed to win the match, but Arsenal suffered their 4th defeat in the league with this defeat and probably dropped 5 points away from the leader.Today we will watch the Liverpool-Newcastle United match.I don't expect Newcastle, who have had bad results in recent weeks, to take points away from Liverpool.I will be expecting Liverpool to win this match and open the gap.
If you can recall very well, this was almost the same pattern arsenal did last season that made them lose out of the title race to Manchester City, at this stage of the competition they are a bit inconsistent with their victories and I feel is a result of the fact that Arsenal does not have a second 11 team that has been built in connection with the first team, because the first 11 guys at this point have some level of fatigue and cannot really continue this consistency they possessed over this time.
Looking at the game against Fulham you could easily see that Arsenal had possessions and had more opportunities to score at the first half, at least the match would have ended that first half with the goals Arsenal would have scored, but however they lack consistency and I feel is more of fatigue on the side of the players at this point.

It was a comfortable game for Manchester City but the score could have been bigger than this anyway of course. It seems like Haaland and De Bruyne's absence at the same time affects the scoring productivity quite much even in this kind of games.  Sad   De Bruyne was actually in the substitutes but Guardiola didn't want to sub him in.

Maybe Guardiola wanted to have him on the pitch as of the Newcastle game ahead in the league. It is an away game and could be a really tough game. Newcastle are worse than the previous season though but they can still be dangerous.

It was more of a boring game for the eyes to see, I didn't believe a team like Manchester City having Pep Guardiola would dominate and play some entertaining shiit for the fans.

Not just Erling and Kevin. The absence of Jeremy Doku also is important. When Kdb was away, Doku would ignite the tempo of the game but we saw the drunk Jack Grealish making my eyes itch as I watch them play the slowest game since Pep Guardiola took over.

Eddie Howe also having a poor season with Newcastle United. He's protected by the media because he's managing a small club and he's a British manager. I'd love them to put same energy they put into sacking Erik Ten Hag and do same with Eddie Howe.

I can agree about Jack Grealish as well. I mean he is a left winger but I can't see good enough contribution from him like goals and assists. He should be able to do better than this if he is really a skilled player. But he is showing himself like an average player to people honestly. It is like he is able to perform better than this when he plays for average teams like Aston Villa.

Manchester City spent a lot of money for this transfer as well you know. I wonder how contented Guardiola is with his performance. By the way Doku can really be a big player and consolidate his place at Manchester City in time. He is really talented.

A very comfortable win for Manchester city indeed, though not the kind of victory that everybody anticipated but those two goals were enough for pep Guardiola and his boys as they continue their winning streak after their return from the FIFA world club championship and as they also try to keep the pressure on the league leaders to make the title race more intense and also interesting for all the contenders involved, I know alot of people think they are out the race but i think Manchester city would never give up without fight to defend their title. I think it was a brilliant idea for the Manchester City boss not to introduce Kevin de bruyne in that game since city had the game under control playing at home, rather he should preserve the midfielder for their next game away to Newcastle where the player would be needed for expertise.

I hope there will be lots of goals scored so that both teams will exchange goals to determine a hotter victory. But unfortunately the Juventus vs Roma match only ended with a narrow score of 1-0 for Juventus to win at home and Roma was unable to get the goal back. But that's Serie A compared to other top European leagues, when there is a big match it only ends with a small score.

Regardless of the result, I think this is the victory that Juventus needs to continue to move closer to achieving Inter points at the top and we hope that when the competition starts again in early January, all teams will move each other in the standings to look even more competitive.

Meanwhile, for Roma, who have to remain stuck in 7th position in the standings, this means they have the same points as Napoli and of course these two teams will catch each other in the next match. Any team has a gap that is not that far from getting close to the top four and the opportunity for Roma or Napoli to get closer is still wide open.
I get your perspective on Juventus-Roma. It's disappointing when a major match concludes with one goal. Serie A is like that, right? Juventus and Roma have prioritized defense. Juventus conceded 11 goals and Roma 20 this season, demonstrating their solid defenses. This strategy works, although it generally leads to fewer goals

Juventus getting closer to Inter is remarkable given their past troubles. Amazingly, they're only two points behind. Juventus and Inter have good matches coming up, so the title fight is heating up. Roma, with the same points as Napoli, are still in contention
This has always been the typical style of Italian football, one goal is always what's separates both sides during Italian derby matches, derby matches are rarely characterize by much goals in the seria A, I wasnt really expecting both teams to produce more than two goals either because juventus and Roma are both highly defensive side respectively which was why we didn't see much goal on the night, perhaps juventus had the home advantage thats why they won the match if not the match would have ended without a single goal but all thanks to juve for breaking the deadlock.

                                          Nottingham forest vs Manchester United

I've always complained about the fact that i don't understand the style of play of Eric Ten Hag, it's as if Manchester United team doesn't have a playing pattern, Because is there no way Ten hag can instruct them to be either defensive or attacking, at least be known for something. Looking at how Nottingham forest were defensive at some point and where always at the back, it was easy for Manchester United to at least score more goals but that wasn't forthcoming.

Manchester city is definitely going to win Sheffield without stress and I can tell from their performance so far that Sheffield may end up without a goal by the end of this match as Manchester city continually dominates the whole game keeping Sheffield at their 18 yard box and having only but a few chances to get to the midfield.

Sheffield is playing a very defensive tactics withe hopes of possible break outs on a counter attack to getting a goal but then Manchester city is already two goals ahead so I doubt if they will be able to get up to two opportunities of counter attack to getting an equalizer because I don't see them attempting to win this game , Sheffield almost had an early goal but the Manchester city keeper was smart enough to hold the ball outside the touch line, anyways I wasn't expecting any less from Manchester city against a club as this which can be considered weak.

I think manchester city struggled against the bottom team of the relegation zone shefield united, because the main striker erling haland was injured so he could not play.
I think Manchester City needs to buy a sharp 1st class striker to cover Erling Haland, even though there is already Julian Alvares.
because when erling haland was injured manchester city had difficulty producing goals
Manchester city had their struggles in the game, it's so obvious to notice that haaland is not in the game, and one mistake pep guardiola is making is to build a team around a single player, I'm happy Calvin de bruyne is hopeful of coming back to the team any moment from now, maybe he can help stir the wheels of this obvious lacuna in this Manchester city squad, phil foden has been really impressive with his performance, because he has been creating chances with his style of play, however is still obvious that there is something lacking in the Manchester City squad and their winning has not been too confidential like is always used to be, in all it a good win for the citizens.

Chelsea still inconsistency performance with some time on the winning trend and another time they losses from unpredictable team, against Luton Town will be opportunity for Chelsea can continues with winning match or get losses again after last two match defeated by Wolves and last match won against Crystal Palace, left few minutes later Luton Town vs Chelsea and The Blues need winning this match for improving their standings to top fourth position.

That's right, I still haven't seen enough impressive performances from Chelsea, they haven't achieved consistently good performances and each of their matches is difficult to predict, because they always appear not stagnant, sometimes they can win against stronger teams and sometimes also lose when faced with weak teams, so it's quite difficult to be able to predict overall about their match this time against Luton Town. I think it's too early to conclude that Chelsea will be able to win against Luton Town in the match that will soon be held, we just see in the last two matches Luton Town managed to win consecutive wins and one of them against Newcastle, not only that because in some previous matches Luton Town was also able to provide resistance that made Arsenal and Manchester City quite overwhelmed to win three full points. So even though they are almost at the bottom of the table but in my opinion they cannot be underestimated, and in my opinion the results of the match are still 50 - 50 or that means it cannot be fully predicted about who will win. So we'll see if Chelsea will be able to get full points to get away from Wolves or even vice versa.
I had the same thought. Chelsea has had a very inconsistent performance. So even though they play against mediocre teams, which incidentally are at a level below them, but there is no certainty that Chelsea can win the match. Luton is not better than Chelsea, but they have the advantage of playing at home, so there is still a possibility for Lutton to get points in this match.
From what we are seeing, the home advantage is not working out for Lutton, Chelsea have succeeded in dominating the entire game with a 3-1 win at the moment, though there was an off side goal that was scored by Lutton but it was disallowed by VAR before Barclay headed into the net from a corner kick. Jackson's performance has been really brilliant in this game, the last Chelsea goal was assisted by him, and he has been good with his role in today's game.

Quote
The volume of eNaira in circulation rose by 284.6 per cent to N9.78bn in August, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria.This is as the volume of notes and coins declined by 14 per cent to N2.65tn in August 2023.

I nor need talk to much because na two questions wey I get to ask;

1) Who dey use eNaira here? If you have downloaded the app, has any merchant accepted the eNaira for payment? Me nor understand this statistics at all whether it is for usage or downs of the app.

2) We are slowly transitioning into a cashless economy. If you dey do any form of business here, how you don dey take prepare your business and that of your customers for this change? Abi do you feel that we are not ready for it yet?
Of course as an economy we are drifting towards cashless policies and the whole idea of this enaira was to help enhance this cashless policy, but the clam down on Bitcoin by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor Goodwill Emiefele, really did not help the enaira project because a lot of persons felt there was no need to engage in the enaira because of the cbn policy on Bitcoin then, maybe going forward people will try to see how they can get involved with this e project naira but personally I have not picked interest on this project yet.

Gosh, Napoli only drew the same 0-0 after being kept quiet by Monza and this was a poor result at home. To be honest, I didn't watch this match but if I look at the statistics there is a fierce match between the two teams. Not a few cards have been issued by the referee, proving that there were many fouls in this match.

On the other hand, Napoli coach Walter Mazzari had to be sent off from the field after receiving a red card and it seems this happened as a result of strong protests directed at the referee. Meanwhile, Monza also suffered a loss in the final minute after Mirko Maric received a red card. The only important chance that Monza had was in the 68th minute after they received a penalty kick, only for Pessina to fail to convert the penalty into a goal.
I thought Napoli was going to take this opportunity to turn things around for themselves but the reverse is the case, they played at home yet they couldn't utilize their home advantage against the Monza side , this goes further more to show that Napoli has lost their touch and may continue to decline further until something is done to boost the morale of the Napoli squad. Napoli was once known as one  of Italian elite football club but they are far from that status right now as a result of their sudden decline, they are the defending champion yet they seem like a team that just gained promotion into top flight, they have to start gearing up because there's alot to play for.

Snip.
Like the previous season the Premier League title for Arsenal is still a mystery so it is not surprising why many people are quite doubtful when facing the final season making it a habit for them  to show less than good performances. We know that Liverpool and Man City are always aggressive when clubs like Arsenal are starting to falter, Arteta is still focused  on building a team by gathering young players. Maybe he would prefer to see Arsenal in the long term but if they are  unable to win the title Arteta will get a warning from the fans.
Arsenal defeat against West Ham did not put Arsenal out of the title race this season, I am sure Arteta has learned from last season's failure. Arsenal is only two points behind Liverpool, there is still a big possibility for Arsenal to return to the top of the standings because there are still so many matches that have not been completed. A defeat like this is very normal and can happen to any team, it is very difficult to finish the entire match without losing, sometimes results like this are needed so that the coach can continue to learn from the defeats his team experiences.

If measured in terms of points scored, Arsenal's performance is better than Manchester City. The defeat against West Ham was very painful for Arsenal because they failed to return to the top of the standings, but this defeat was not the end for Arsenal because they could make up for their mistake by winning in the next match.
So many people would say it's pretty too early to start predicting who is gonna win the title, but I think the race is already on and arsenal have started showing the same signs they showed last season and how incapable they can be whenever it comes to taking responsibility, I mean how can a team that is contending for the league title be loosing games at home and not even putting in a fight or at least snatching a point, this in not good for arsenal and they have to brace up immediately before things gets really messy for them.

It caught a cross drinking fake drinks like alcohol,taking root commonly referred to as agbo,which have now been discovered to be a high contributor to the high case of kidney failure too.and this sachet alcohol we take also,like the action bitters,Chelsea and the rest.

I had a privilege to have a conversation with a doctor his revelation send shivers to my spine,he talking about how many patients come to the hospital needing dialysis and majority of them na young guys..omo I fear,he also emphasised on the fact that to get liver failure is more dangerous.In his word,"If kidney wan fail,him go give you sign,if you notice am you fit package am before e breakdown finally,but liver no dey give any sign..it will just breakdown and before you know belle don dey swell up".And largely liver failure are also caused by excessive alcohol intake.in general  let our alcohol intake be in moderate,too much drink no be enjoyment o,check originality of drink before you drink,there are so many fake product out there make person no go carry wetin him no know.

I don't know, I think West Ham are playing their football... They managed to score and now they won't let Arsenal score... West Ham will not give up points without a fight in this match... There's a second half ahead and I think it's going to be interesting.....

I think this is exactly how West Ham played against Manchester United and they got the results in that game as well. Arsenal seem to be doing too much in front of goal, the players are being too stylish when they should be taking the shot. Arsenal need to start talking their chances in the second half. West Ham will do everything to defend their one goal lead, David Moyes style is more defensive than attacking.
West ham United has just scored a second goal and going by your analogy of them being on the defensive side and trying to protect their defense, it will be very difficult for Arsenal to break in, this is 56 minutes of play, can Arsenal try to equalize these two goals and possible win this match, that I think will be near impossible because West ham have been pushing forward and it's more like their morale is being heightened up because of the second goal they've scored. If Arsenal could try and get a goal maybe it will also help them to put up a good fight before the end of the game.

Very incredible night for Brighton as the club is leading Tottenham Hotspur with 2 goals just within the first 28 minutes into the game, although the match time is still good and if tottenham team are able to make any equalization but as it stands, their chances for such possibilities is very slim and Brighton won't be giving them that chance.
Many of the time, we have seen how such matches that start in this nature end up favouring the losing team innthe early minutes, because Brighton players may slack and believe the match is already in their favour,  but then until the 99 minutes are over, no one can declare a game as over.

I would say that I am surprised about Brighton's performance tonight against Tottenham. Although the match is still on and the both teams will soon head to have 15mins rest for the second half. Where my surprises lie is that, Brighton has just won 1 out of their last 5 matches while Totenham has won their last 3 consecutive matches. People were expecting Tottenham to consolidate on their winnings.

@Odusko, talking about Tottenham coming from behind to win Brighton, I don't think it is an easy task. It is Manchester city that does that easily and the one done by Manchester United last match. It is not something easy to do. One goal is understandable, but two is hard to equalise and win.
I am also surprised myself because this is a game I thought Tottenham Hotspur will win with ease but reverse has been the case here, currently Brighton are winning 2-0 with 58 minutes played already, I agree with you that going by the statistics of this match I don't think Tottenham will be able to get a comeback, is as if they are already demystified with the by this 2 goals against them, however if they can get a goal, it will try to build back the confidence of the Tottenham team and then they might fight for a draw.

Very decent goal from Foden while Pickford find the ball very difficult to pick  Cheesy. Manchester City is a team that rarely disappoints. From the beginning of the match i knew they will still take the lead on the score line. Regardless of how fast Everton were lucky to get a goal, they will eventually lose the game to Manchester City. They are no match for the premier league champions. So bad John Stones has been taken off as injured. His absence may leave a mark on the performance of Manchester City for some period. We saw that when Rodri was injured as well.

At the beginning of the game it was as if Everton where going to put up a strong fight when i initially saw the 1-1 draw, however Manchester City still had to prove that they were the defending champions, immediately after that penalty was scored, i knew that more goals where coming because Manchester City began to mount excessive pressure and controlling of the midfield as they often do.
But lately I must say that Manchester City haven't really been dishing out that fire power that they possess, there has been a great level of decline in their conquest this season and if care is not taken, they might not repeat what happened last seasons, after coming behind to take league from Arsenal.

At the moment crystal place vs Chelsea is going in a head lucked fight and both team are mentainig the 1:1 goals which have been standing till the 68 minutes into the match,  but at the moment it looks as if Chelsea have more chances of making an extra goal score if their can utilize the many chances the have missed already.

The crystal place squad also are looking for every possible chances to make a goal score but they have a very weak and motivated Stricker at the moment.
Outside the fact Chelsea defence hasn't been impressive this evening, the strikers are not helping matters as well, just imagine the one on one Jackson have missed this second half, that would have made the game 2-1 in favour of Chelsea if he had scored, even when he tried to score one, it was disallowed by the Referee as offside, however they've been awarded a penalty after EZE fowled madueke at the 18 yard box, madueke afterward stood up and took the spot kick, making the game 2-1.
The match might end up like this.

Few minutes to start the match, we know Crystal Palace surprised us by drawing with Manchester City in their last match and we know that Manchester City are better than Chelsea even though we don't view football that way, but still I don't believe Crystal Palace will win Chelsea but let watch and see.

Chelsea have taken the lead in this game through M. Mudryk in the 13th minute. Chelsea have been defending poorly recently so I don't expect them to defend this goal till the end of the match. The only way Chelsea can survive this game is if they get more goals. In the past three encounters between Chelsea and Luton Town, the Blues won all the games. From the current performance in this game, Luton Town have no chance of winning this game because the host is dominating the game and is also attacking better than the visitors. But we cannot still underestimate Luton because they have three shots and one is on target.

Good observation from you since you are able to notice the poor defense being made by Chelsea defenders very poor. But for this match against Palace, I think it's we are going to see more goals coming from both teams because the teams are not very good in defense right now especially the Chelsea team though they have more advantage of scoring more goals than palace since they are dominating ib ball possession and goal scoring attempts. I think Chelsea will win the game even as I see them getting more goals soon.
This has always been the problem of Chelsea for a long now, even before pochettino arrived at Chelsea, but he too has also failed to work on Chelsea's defence and that's why they keep conceding goals always, they are not even coordinated, they play as if they don't train together, even the goal they conceded tonight was as a result of poor communication between the two defenders that went for the aerial ball that was played into Chelsea's eighteen yard box, if nothing is done about this defensive errors then Chelsea will continue having problems up to the end of the season.

Real Madrid are lucky to have an experienced coach like Ancelotti. Real Madrid have had several weaknesses this season. And I would say Real Madrid's forward lineup is weaker than Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Still they are scoring plenty of goals and occupying the top spot in the points table.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are slowly slipping back in the title race. Real Madrid's main opponent at the moment is Girona. Girona and Madrid are now level on points. If Real Madrid do not drop points in several matches in a row, then the top spot in the table will probably be occupied by Madrid. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are 7 points behind. On the other hand, the performance of Girona, one of the rivals for this year's title, cannot be predicted. So far their performance has been very good. However, there is a possibility that this group will lose the truck at any time.
That's right, Ancelotti's figure cannot be separated from Madrid success in leading the La Liga standings at the moment, his experience and strategy can bring Madrid through the challenges so far, which in conclusion. as you said, Madrid is lucky to be coached by Ancelotti. A tight match schedule, a storm of player injuries, and not having an ideal striker as a number 9. all of these challenges can be overcome well, so I think Perez should offer Ancelotti a new contract extension so he can stay longer at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It cannot be denied that Madrid and Girona form the two axes in the title race this season, but Barcelona and ATM also still have the opportunity to enliven the competition in the second half of the season. Apart from that, regarding Girona and their consistency going forward, there is no guarantee that they will remain stable, and so it would be a big surprise for all of us if they continue to compete closely with Madrid until the end of the season.
Ancelotti is Probably one of the finest coach in world football right now with several years of coaching experience and vast knowledge of European football, most of his like have probably gone into retirement with just a few still active today, i think he's the reason why real madrid are at the level where they are at the moment, he has his all to real Madrid and is still willing to do more to keep real madrid on top.There have been some unfounded speculation that real Madrid may part ways with carlo ancelotti at the end of the season, if that happens am afraid that real madrid would have to struggle to find a befitting replacement and this may severly affect their performance.

I know that during boxing day there are a lot of surprise results as the 433 Instagram page had shown some crazy results in this very day in the distant year of 1963 with even 10-2 as a result in a game in what was called First Division then but I never thought to see Newcastle losing at home to Nottingham Forest which for me will remain the biggest surprise result of this week.

Bournemouth is the only team which is super stable and is having a lot of fun while playing beautiful football while also getting the three points.The important games will be playing at night time now in the UK,Liverpool and Manchester vs Aston Villa.
Liverpool already scored. With the goal scored by Darwin Nunez, Liverpool took a 1-0 lead against Burnley, even though it was the beginning of the match. They are one of the secret favorites of the league. I think they will be in an important position in this race with Arsenal and Manchester City. Nunez is slowly getting back into shape and there are effective attacks with Salah. Liverpool are playing like that effective season two years ago.

Liverpool are playing nice in this match but I wouldn't say they are dominant entirely in this match because Burnley seem to be attacking a lot tonight, though they haven't really gotten any concrete chance but I think they are gonna find the back of the net once they get the chance, and it seem like Vincent Kompany side are relying on the counter attacks to distabilize the Liverpool defence which has been a very good tactics for them in this match but we are yet to see what the Burnley side would make out of this constant counter attacks, maybe they might make out something in the second half.
