Chelsea was very unlucky during this season and luck was not the only thing they needed but Chelsea's player, Christopher Nkunku is again injured and he will be away for at least three weeks. This means this team will have an even worse situation.
The player joined Chelsea for 63 million euros but Christopher Nkunku couldn't play in more than four games for Chelsea.



He'll be back better and stronger, if you play soccer and have such challenges ( Knee Injury ) a
Immediately after your return from surgery and recovery process, you may likely go out Injured again. And this is exactly what has happened with Christopher Nkuku. He'll be back most definitely. There's nothing to worry about, its just sad he'll miss important games once again.

Manchester United tonight haven't been displaced from this round before, so expecting Manchester United to lose will definitely not happen. Andrea Onana won't be leaving already for the African Cup of Nations Competitions, he'll be around until the 14 of January..

Barcelona finally is making a final decision about their player, João Félix.
João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.
Barcelona may already decide to sign João Félix. However, does Barcelona have enough money to pay the transfer fees of João Félix? Current market value of this player is around €40m. I'm sure Atletico Madrid will ask more than €50m because he is a young player and still has a long time contract. João Félix is also an experienced and talented player, Atletico Madrid must expect big money by selling him.

Honestly, I am not sure Barcelona will succeed to sign him permanently. But it is still interesting to see how Barcelona to try negotiate with Atletico Madrid.

This is a player having contracts with Atletico Madrid and openly came out to say that, wants to play for the best attacking club in the world ( Barcelona ) that statement alone forced his way out of Atletico Madrid.
He will definitely leave for now, returning to Atletico Madrid is not a good option, his body, heart and soul had already bid goodbye to Atm

What's up with the news of Kylian Mbappe finally accepting having agreements with Real Madrid already? I see it hasn't been posted by  Fabrizio Romano so I'm yet to make my finally conclusion.
If he finally moves in then, the hands of Real Madrid attacking football and players, future is on good terms.

Although Tuchel is more experienced than Xabi Alonso, it can't guarantee Bayern Munich to win the title of Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso has a great history as a player in many leagues, he must understand how to deal with the long season. As long as Leverkusen has no many injured players, Xabi Alonso is capable to lead Leverkusen to win the title of Bundesliga.
Tuchel is more experienced than Xabi Alonso but Xabi has been gaining more experience with his team and seasons. Xabi can be considered as a new version of Tuchel when Tuchel built up his coach career with Dortmund.

What Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen have been showing since the last season is very impressive and they actually are improving themselves a lot. Beating Bayern Munich in this season is harder than the last season because since the summer transfer, they got a world-class striker, Harry Kane. It is what Bayern Munich did not have last season after letting Robert Lewandowski moved to Barcelona.

I really want to see Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen win Bundesliga because the domination of Bayer Munich in the league is so boring.

I always say congratulations whenever I see them win though but how can we best watching a league that has to do with so much dominating and domination from the Champions ( Bayern Munich ) they have won more than ten times and people who are tired of seeing and watching so much of it.

They deserve to win the tittle, Bayern Leverkusen has shown a great performance in the first half, now Into the the second half let's see how they go with a case like this!
Bayern Munich are lucky they made a deal with Harry Kane, such a huge professional.

This is just disappointing at this point for Napoli. Who would say that they are the defending champions of the Seriei A right now? They are in the 9th position of the Serie A right now and if things continue as they are then probably they won't be able to play even the UCL. They are far away from The Champions League spot.

I know it was an away match but their performance was too poor. Torino is not that strong of a team and if they are struggling and losing by this margin then they won’t be able to beat Barcelona next month in the UCL playoffs. Things are getting really out of hand for Napoli.
Yesterday Napoli was playing similar just like a mediocre team that playing without Osimhen they can't do anything especially after Mazzocchi got red card that Napoli was playing under pressure which make Torino can scores more goals in the second half and if i am not mistaken Mazzari was handle this team since November and so far Napoli has through an 9 matches in all competitions total under Mazzari but Napoli under him only able to gets 3 wins and 6 loses so this is really poor records even i have to says Napoli under Rudi Garcia is much better than the current Napoli

And people have already to discuss about this before because since Napoli sacked Rudi Garcia Napoli was out from the race to get the scudetto so now they only focusing to at least finish at top 4 and 5 difference points below to Fiorentina indeed still possible to pursuing but Napoli have to playing more consistent and next week Napoli will gets easy opponent Salernitana so they should be utilized this match to bounce back and gets the winning result again

Napoli changed coaches, their achievements were immediately destroyed. against mediocre teams torino was beaten 3-0. even though Napoli's top players still stay not out of Napoli. this indicates the quality of Rudi Garcia is very far when compared to the quality of Spaleti.
And I also can't believe this result can be beaten 3 goals without scoring at all only against torino.

Nothing more to say but another poor outing from the defending Champions of Seria A standing. I haven't gone to see how many points they used in gaping these clubs above them too.
The management of Napoli has also decided to not sack the latest coach and should let him do it himself. Three goals fr nothing is not a good idea.

Juventus also won and reduced the gap between themselves and  Inter Milan. Ain't it too much from Juventus? After how they've attached the brilliant score's and comeback to them skull.

Indeed. Arsenal fans must expect Arsenal to win the trophy of FA Cup. They failed to maintain their position in the top of EPL standings, they won't have a big chance to win EPL trophy. So, they must have a big hope to win the trophy in another competition. Sadly, Arsenal must end their hope to win the trophy of FA Cup. But they won't regret it because they are defeated by Liverpool (one of the top team in England).

Yes, Arsenal played quite offensive, they dominated the match. But they must realize that they didn't play effectively. They also must evaluate their accuracy in shooting and their mentality during the match.

Anyway, it is great that Liverpool also has the chance to win FA Cup title now.


Arsenal have lost one of their hopes of winning a trophy this season because they were eliminated by Liverpool in today match. Of course the fans are quite disappointed with the results of today match but it must be admitted that Liverpool is more consistent than Arsenal. Even in the Premier League, Arsenal also had to give up their main place for Liverpool and I think Liverpool has really frustrated Arsenal this season.

Well, if Arsenal lose again in the epl match, they will automatically give up even more on winning the trophy this season. I think Arteta has to change Arsenal playing tactics to be better in the next match. He has to raise Arsenal enthusiasm to end the recent series of bad results.

This is the exact third time losing for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal in a row which is completely embarrassing my guy. It's the same lack of depth that caused Arsenal the Premier League Competition last season. This season, we have also seen dame happenings I the last couple of game fir themselves. You have to commend Liverpool for the level of consistentcy they have even without some of them players.

Mikel Arteta should know that the players he have and know well that they can't be well improved. After the three games lost his also had a role in it.

According to some media in Frace...

Mbappè said yes to Real Madrid and he will join them.

Lest see if will get more confirmation about this tonight...

Not just the handles from French, some handles from the Spanish League have also carried the news about his final move to Real Madrid.

We was just thinking how he'll make a switch to the Premier League Club, but to our greatest surprised he's already had agreement with the Los Blancos side. This news haven't been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano though so I don't completely believe.

I also hate the move of Joshua Kimmich to Manchester City, he should look for a better club that lack's a good defensive midfielder.

Arteta is planning to make the team stronger with new transfers in January. I would like to see him signing a much more productive striker than Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah. I think the absence of a solid finisher is one of the factors dragging them down from their title chance in the Premier League. There is an option available in the transfer market too actually - Guirassy.  Smiley

Guirassy is a wonderful striker about whom people have been talking in the first half of the season in the Bundesliga. He is already monitored by some bigger teams.

Arsenal can actually go for him and try their chance while he has a release clause which can be activated by paying only 17.5 million euros.

Correctly Said!

Absence of a dangerous striker is all they need now, Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus are all not up to that standard. They have to see one of these names leaving if a new number nine should come back into the squad.
They've had chances but no good enough hungry striker to convert all of these chances.

Serhou Guirassy? Right footed! Tall, strong and has a good goal scoring record already with Stuggart. How about his valuation? Is it something the budget of Arsenal can meet up or purchase? Hell Yeah!! So what's up with the delay!!

They should hijack his move to any Premier League club and make him the top priority. They need him and he needs them, they're also in the Champions League Competition, enough to showcase what he's got.

There will be so many players to join in AFCON soon. The main problem if leverkusen is going to face bayer munich as the main problem soon. This match is very important for the club caused by leverkusen will be playing without the main squad.
Im concerning about how strong the munich's squad. It will be a hard match for leverkusen and i expect the team to lose against bayern caused by it will able to perform with the best line up soon.

There is still problem happened in the leverkusen and xabi is very confusing to get the best replacement for the club. Im wondering what line up that is going to be used by him. Im not expect leverkusen to win against bayern munich with  huge margins.
Playing at home is going to be the opportunity for leverkusen and the match in europa league will be also very important as well. There will be so many rotations to happen in leverkusen due to the AFCON.

There are so many clubs were also losing their best players to play at AFCON.
Well the AFCON’s effect in Major European League is about to play out in the German League. Leverkusen who are topping with over 4 points have most of her players going to the AFCON and they’ll be facing Bayern Munich who are so into the title chase. Of course we all know what the outcome of the match would be, if the players they feature are not up to the standards of those who left for the AFCON tournament.

 Yes, This will be a tough one for Leverkusen but with Xabi on the wheels I trust him to be able to get something off this match. I think Xabi will be anle to set up his team before the match so as not to be found lagging behind. This AFCON is seriously affecting European football and I think both bodies can come together and find a way around this so as to reduce the effect of players leaving their clubs.

I think the only major African leaving for that African Cup of Nations Competitions has to be Victor Boniface alone, he is the only Nigerian and major African player from that first team leaving.
Xabi Alonso I believe made his experiment on that game and how it'll look like when a player like Victor Boniface leaves for the next one month and possibly holidays whenever he returns.

Winning the Bundesliga League Competition is something most people are eager to see not just myself, they have to show they're better than Borrussia Dortmund who was there until the last game of the league only to finally bottle things up disgracefully.

He's a player who's giving his all for the Barcelona club even if all hasn't gone well though, he still has a high work rate this season for the games he has started and has come from the bench press.
Returning to Atletico Madrid is not a good idea for him, so even if it takes him another long season loan with Barcelona I believe, he'll accept a pay cut to play for Barcelona at the end of the day.

Who else has been impressed with Antonio Rudiger? That man has really improved the defense of Real Madrid, does well and at the same time he entertains the fans.
Àrda Guler did well yesterday, his first debut for the legendary club was remarkable, hopefully he gets fit enough for chances during the Champions League.

It was a huge win for Liverpool and I feel sorry for Arsenal for their early exit from the tournament. Arsenal are lacking a good stricker and they need to get that settle immediately if they are to change their fortune anytime soon.
For me, it is not a big win but it is surely an important win. Liverpool only scored 2 goals during the match, they also actually didn't dominate the match. However, they are lucky that they could score 2 goals in the match. Arsenal more dominated the match, they created more chances in scoring goals. But Arsenal fails to score a single goal, we can assume Arsenal players has lack of accuracy in shooting. If they have good accuracy, Arsenal may score many goal during the match.


In my own opinion, I think it was an important win and also a big win for Liverpool because it's actually not easy to beat a strong English Premier League club like Arsenal. It was a very difficult game for both sides as the two clubs searched for a win in the game but it was Liverpool who first found the net after Arsenal player scored an own goal.

I think it was game that Liverpool were destined to win if you ask me because had Arsenal converted their own chances, the result of the game might have been different from what we saw today. Liverpool have successfully eliminated Arsenal from the English FA Cup and have progressed to the next round of the competitive.

These are one of those things we talk about Arsenal lately, they'll be Champions of the Premier League only of they ahave someone who can convert the chances they've been playing and creating.
The game had nothing to do with destiny and luck, Liverpool had them chances and they used it very well. The first goal should be blames on who please? I want to put that on Aaron Ramsdale as he didn't make a good decision while rushing out of goal in attempt to save that ball.

Luiz Diaz stepped up to help his side Liverpool win and Jurgen Klopp was so excited with how they play together. Tougher fixtures ahead they should keep them heads locked in.

Manchester City are said to be waiting for the summer to make a move for Kimmich. But do they really need another defensive player now? I don't know about that especially after their most recent transfers. There are five centre-backs in the squad now - Dias, Gvardiol, Akanji, Ake and Stones. Rodri and Nunes are also alternatives at the back of the midfield.

There are some other midfielders who can play at the back as well. So they have nothing more than defensive players now. Kimmich is a player who can be used as a centre-back and defensive midfielder both. I wonder whether Guardiola thinks of replacing Kimmich with someone else.

Joshua Kimmich is a versatile player, he can be used as a defender and a midfielder. Besides he's already worked with Josep Pep Guardiola before when they had a great time together at Bayern Munich winning lots of trophies.
He could be used as a defensive midfielder and a right fullback, just the right man to replace Kyle Walker but is that gone be possible?

Rodri is currently untouchable and sit undropabble. Pep Guardiola although loves depth and I won't be surprised he be the man behind this.
Would Kimmich want steady game time, then he won't be moving to Manchester City.
1512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 07, 2024, 09:22:01 PM

Very important 3 points for them and they also avoided to concede any goals. I think those are the games that bring back the strong morals for a team that has recently undergone a little crisis. Maybe crisis is the wrong word, but after they kept up so well for so long with Inter Milan and then fell behind, extending their current streak and not conceding any goals while scoring three time away from home is the perfect result for them.
Juventus were able to win their game and continue to pursue Inter, and thus they continue to maintain intrigue in Serie A. And Fiorentina could not beat Sassuolo, well, it’s a pity that this happened, but I said this before, Fiorentina and Bologna are teams that are not ready to fight for the top 4, so their stay at the top of the tournament table is a temporary phenomenon and Lazio is already trying to correct this and I think in the coming rounds Lazio will bypass these teams.
Juventus were lucky to have won their game. It would have been worse considering the way they played and their position on the table.
I don't know what to say about Napoli, because I was rooting for them to win today, but somehow maybe due to the absence of Osimhen and Zambo, who are off on international duty, they couldn't even score a goal and had to loose by 3 goals.
They still stay below Juventus at number 9 and will have to do better in next fixtures.

After the great win at home during the Copa Italia, I was expecting Juventus to win easily today but seem like the host had plans to hold Juventus down today.
Just like you said, they was lucky to come back into the game and  win successfully. Thanks to Dusan Vlahovic who scored the winner anyways. Arsenal are still speculated into getting the player. I don't think he would win them the league even if he moves in.

Another embarrassing lose to Napoli, they should forget about winning or defending the Seria A tittle this season. They are headed backwards.
1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 07, 2024, 09:06:10 PM

The schedule is very busy for Arsenal and Liverpool because at the end of last year they met and only played a draw, but today they will still face each other in the FA Cup and also at the beginning of February they will still meet again in the EPL. This will definitely be an exciting battle for both teams and it is hoped that in whatever situation they will both be able to give their best performance.

But considering that previously both of them only played a draw, I am curious whether one of these teams will win or not in the FA Cup match later. I am quite sure that this time both of them will not remain silent and will want to play again in a draw like before so this will be a prestigious match for the two big teams to finish the previous match. For betting predictions, I recommend the BTTS option or over goal results only because it is very difficult to determine which one of them will win.
Maybe a draw will happen again, but if you remember the appearance of Arsenal lately, it looks like Liverpool is more likely to have a chance to win this match.
This is the FA Cup which is actually not more prestigious than the Premier League, but there is prestige that they will keep, especially they will also face each other in the Premier League later. Arsenal also don't want to lose again in a row, they will try to get the best possible results.
On the other hand Liverpool are also in good shape at the moment and they are better than Arsenal. Maybe this will be determined by Arsenal's own performance, whether they will play well or not, because it cannot be denied that their defeat in the previous match will damage their mentality.
The draw we expected the match to turn out to be, ended up being a win for Liverpool by 2 goals to nil against Arsenal. The Arsenal team really missed many chances in the first half as they dominated the match. It was in the second half around 80 minutes of play that Liverpool scored their first goal by an own goal from an Arsenal player and their second goal came around extra minutes of stoppage time.

It's unfortunate to see the Arsenal team leaving the FA Cup competition at this early stage, and they don't have any match to play in two weeks. They should use the two weeks, they won't be in action to fix their defense lapses so that they will be in full preparation when they play against Crystal Palace in two weeks because it seems like they no longer have that winning mentality to win a match


I was actually expecting the loss from the reds but this is the reason why you don't have to right off a team completely, Arsenal have been one of the most disappointing sides so far in this season when you at least expect a win they come out to give you the opposite, I really do think, the squad is exhausted and needs all the rest.
Even without Players like the club Captain, Virgil Van Dirk and Mohamed Salah who's out fir the African Cup of Nations Competitions they still won. They indeed have a top mentality.

Arsenal also need not sign Ivan Toney with that outrageous valuations, they should rather go all out with the same fee to get Victor Oshime who is a much younger, stronger and better player. He will do better and grow up with the sane squad.

There is word that Henderson wants to return to the EPL. This is due to non-smooth adjustment conditions. Hendersen feels his career has declined since his time in Saudi Arabia. Although he earns a huge salary, he seems to be leaving. He was willing to take pay cuts and fines for leaving of his own volition. It seems Henderson is under pressure because he failed to lead Al-Ettifaq to victory. Maybe he can play for Crystal Palace, Fulham and Newcastle. They're looking for a midfielder and maybe Henderson is a perfect fit. 

Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12933413/Jordan-Henderson-wants-RETURN-Premier-League.html

The general performance of the club he plays for haven't won any of them games they have played for the past two months and I'm sure that life over that Saudi Arabian League must also be very difficult for him as its been for Bobby Firmino. Steven Gerrard though has demanded for tue support of the management to bring in new players during the transfer window.
He has played all he can, he'll definitely return to one of these low clubs in the Premier League, play for a full season and possibly kick off for retirement that same season.

Hopefully, Jose Mourinho makes significant signatures this January Transfer Window. He's already made too much complains about having low qualified players.

Timo Werner is about to be transferred by Tottenham on loan until the end of the season. Leipzig must be contented with the deal because they were already not giving much chance to him. Besides he had some injury problems on one hand as well. Werner isn't playing like in the past anymore even in the Bundesliga while wearing the shirt of his old team.

I don't know how much he can be beneficial for Tottenham honestly. Because you must remember how bad he was when he was playing for Chelsea. Of course there is no guarantee for anything yet but I just don't have big expectations.
Timo was underperform and it doesn't even make sense for totenham to get him as a new striker. It doesn't even make sense for the club to hire him, but it seems like that ange tries to gamble with his decision to recruit timo. Werner is far different this time.
I think that buying him from leipzig is just another way to wasting the money. It may take a lot of matches for him to adapt to the situation. Totenham is not having good striker and the club can always rely upon son.

This is also a problem for the club caused by we can imagine once son will be injured and totenham will have no good striker to play in the club. It seems ange tries to prevent this problem to come in the future.
Timo played so poorly at leipzig and he is now moving again to the EPL club. It will bring him to the nostalgic situation when he played in chelsea.

I certainly agree with you. I think after this move, Spurs will be able to fill the void better which will be created because Son left to play in the AFC Cup. I thought Richarlison would have to fill the gap but I think Timo Werner would do better than him.

Werner is a player who has experience in the Premier League and won the Uefa Champions League. I agree with you that he was kind of unlucky in the Chelsea squad. He kind of returned to his forms after returning back to Leipzig and if he can be provided with chances he might even become the next Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspurs.

Becoming the next what? There'll be only one Harry Kane and there'll be non like him for Tottenham Hotspur, it'll be difficult to see a player of his standard and type. Let's just hope that Timo Werner score goals when the team need the goals.
It's only a month and Son will be definitely back from  the Asian Cup Competition.

The Brazilian Richardlison has also been scoring since he scored his first goal this season and he'll continue to score more, it's good to see Timo around though, he won't stress enough since he already have enough experience about the Premier League Competition.

Robert Lewandowski has not made a major positive impact on Barcelona since he came in, although he came to meet a well washed up Barcelona team. I think if Lewandowski was to leave Barcelona now he won't be heavily missed, they need more players in the middle field now that can help control and swing the game in their favour.
Barcelona has enough strikers that a decent enough to replace Robert Lewandowski if he was to leave.

They already brought in a young player form Brazil league already and he had a chance to play the last few minutes of the game. That Barcelona side though lacks what we call creativity.
No body talking about the polish captain leaving already, he's a higher level and quality player but have seen Injury disturb his form from the start of the new season last year.

Atletico Madrid won yesterday but they struggled in the first half of the game. Soyunku was poor in that defending that lead to the lone goal scored by the player.
Memphis Depay was able to score two Important goals but he still wasn't happy form his looks and body language. There's no way Girona wouldn't have won that game, they played well.

I think the recent bad performance of Barcelona is due to the injury of some of the key players. You said they lack creativity, But look, they lost Gavi to injury. Pedri is also injured. They are the creative midfielders right now and the most key players of the Barcelona squad. I think the forwards are struggling also due to that. But I do believe that Lewandonski is not performing as well as he is to do in Bayern Munich. But I think Barcelona needs him. He can use his experience to win some games for them. A team full of young players can be chaotic sometimes. The new striker who joined is very young so he will be needing guidelines from the senior players as well.

Beautiful and well said. I almost forgot about the name Pablo Gavi already. I forget he was a key player to the La Liga tittle win they had last season. Injury has cost them alot and before he got Injured, they also faced the same issues but they weren't exactly the way it was.
Pedri also returned and was played off his position. It affected them during some certain games.

For Robert Lewandoski, I won't bash him or say ill about him, he can pick up the best form at any given time. And in between, you need experience around younger players to pass whatever they know across. Barcelona was my favorite to win the league bit right now, I feel like it's been jinxed.

Kevin De Bruyne is already back from injury and is training with the first team of Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne was named among the players who faced Sheffield United in their last match in the premier league. I believe Pep Guardiola will start him against Copenhagen in the Champions league to start finding his form back.

He was introduced into tue game they played today and few minutes into the game he was able to assist, his Belgium International teammate and Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku who are both back in action for Manchester City. The Premier League Competition are not ready for such terror and hazards coming their way from Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

They've seen a decline though and that has lead most of us to think they'll not be available for the win the Premier League not to talk of the Champions League this season. We'll get to see about that.

Before the game against Copenhagen, he should be in a good form but i hope he avoids being Injured one more time. Manchester City better make cool cash from him before he get Injured once again.

Torino - Napoli 3-0 and game by game Napoli is losing chances to catch top 6 that will lead them at least to Conference League and by the way current team is playing , honestly I don't think they will make it.

Udinese - Lazio 1-2 and a very important victory for Lazio and well deserved 3 points that put them back into the fight for top 6.

Roma - Atalanta  should bring 3 points to Roma as a draw will help only Atalanta.

I didn't see any of the above games that have already come to an end, but I never expected a win or draw for Napoli since they don't have their own goal machine out for the African Cup Competition.
This is the time to see same player they hype step up but seems like Khivicha Kvaratskhelia and Politano didn't hsbe a good game?

Three goals to nothing a huge number you feel me?

Though, I saw the game of AC Milan, as they won with three goals to nothing. Two former Chelsea lad's be having a great debut season for Milan. Pulisic and Loftus Cheek who both had a great game today. Giroud from the spot kick was also powerful, beautiful technique.

But this performance should still be put into reasonable context because this opponent was so far inferior that Chelsea had to win this game no matter what. They would really have had no excuses whatsoever if they didn't win this game and you know, it still took them 58 minutes to score the first goal. I didn't really expect failure from them because they were keeping up the pressure during the game, but they lack this deadliness in the box of their opponent. They don't have this one amazing striker. It is still a waiting game for them and in this case it ended in a good way for them.
Yes, even if they are a team like a few seasons ago, which is still owned by Roman Abramovich, it is very possible that those who will be deployed to play will be more dominated by second-tier players, but this time it seems that the main players dominate the Chelsea squad so that the victory over Preston is natural, it will even be unnatural if they lose or can only draw, because maybe there will be fired by Chelsea owners because they have not been able to make the expected changes to bring this team back to being better.
Some strong teams managed to win like Newcastle and Brighton for Brighton they got quite a tight resistance, and the most anticipated match today is Arsenal vs Liverpool as Arsenal's home team is favored to win but Liverpool is a team that always gives difficulties to their opponents so Arsenal must not let their guard down in this match.

I am not a fan or something of Roman Abramovich, but it seemed as if he had at least some idea about football. They didn't buy dozens of players that didn't fit well into the team. They had transfer fails of course like every team has that, but the way Chelsea is now failing in doing their transfer business is alarming. Since the ownership changed, decisions about players and coaches have been bad and it is getting worse. Chelsea has had so much time and money to improve their situation, but they didn't.

You'll have to blame the British government for that, I believe that must have been planned out a long time ago and they used the Russian Ukraine war as a good means to project them plans immediately. And it was a bad way to lose the best owners who have made his club the most decorated side across European Competitions in the last decade.
Roman Abrahimovich has always and will always be a better owner than Todd Boehly for Chelsea. Ask a core blue and he'll say same.

Immediately the new owners of Manchester United appoints a new Sporting Director for Manchester United, they'll be back completely and they may likely win the Premier League Competition next season.

Robert Lewandowski has not made a major positive impact on Barcelona since he came in, although he came to meet a well washed up Barcelona team. I think if Lewandowski was to leave Barcelona now he won't be heavily missed, they need more players in the middle field now that can help control and swing the game in their favour.
Barcelona has enough strikers that a decent enough to replace Robert Lewandowski if he was to leave.

They already brought in a young player form Brazil league already and he had a chance to play the last few minutes of the game. That Barcelona side though lacks what we call creativity.
No body talking about the polish captain leaving already, he's a higher level and quality player but have seen Injury disturb his form from the start of the new season last year.

Atletico Madrid won yesterday but they struggled in the first half of the game. Soyunku was poor in that defending that lead to the lone goal scored by the player.
Memphis Depay was able to score two Important goals but he still wasn't happy form his looks and body language. There's no way Girona wouldn't have won that game, they played well.
