The top four now seems to be very much out of the reach of Chelsea since they lost to Manchester City last night and that’s not the end of their troubles they also lost two players Sterling and Pulsic to injury in the first half.
Personally I think they tried, it’s really not easy holding Manchester city with a complete squad now imagine how they would fare with a weaker team. This victory still puts city in the race for the title with Arsenal.
From Chelsea performance statistics in recent matches it seems true that Chelsea will find it difficult to break into the top 4. because I see that Liverpool and Tottenham are stronger in these few matches so Chelsea will find it difficult to provide strong competition against them. Losing sterling and Pulisic is one of the things that they regret a lot because they are building strength to get back to winning ways but they are getting bad news about injuries that have befallen core players in the Chelsea squad. Manchester City victory was also very enthusiastically welcomed by Pep Guardiola because he considered his players to perform better in the match against Chelsea. These additional 3 points made Manchester City reduce the point gap to 5 points with Arsenal. |

Real Madrid are better placed to win the League. They are in great form. Another advantage they have is that Barcelona is currently having a bad form since their return from the world cup break. In addition, even Athletico are not playing good football at the moment. We are aware that the financial constraint Barca is facing hindering them due to the Financial Fair Play regulations. The UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP) are a set of regulations established to prevent professional football clubs spending more than they earn in the pursuit of success, and in doing so not getting into financial problems which might threaten their long-term survival. Barcelona is still in its best form because the draw against Espanyol cannot be said that Barcelona is in a bad situation, indeed sometimes we always expect to win in every game that will be played, but the reality on the field sometimes ends with unexpected results, losing full points in the first match after the world cup break was very painful for barcelona because the hope of wanting to widen the gap in points instead they lost that opportunity. real madrid and barcelona are only the difference in goal productivity in the standings table and the next match will be the difference for the two top teams in Laliga at the moment. real madrid and barcelona both have opponents that are relatively difficult to beat in the upcoming match. |

Napoli seems lost mentally champion from Inter. We know they will face tough challenges from a big club that have mentally champion like Inter, Juve and Milan. This is not easy to keep them on 1st top, I agree if they play consistently, Napoli will get what have they dream, but we know Napoli last scudetto about 32 years ago most likely they have forget how to defend it as a champion this season, slip will happen on the last week if lost and can't play consistently.
This month Napoli have gotten tougher opponents to test their consistency in Serie A. Especially after the defeat to Inter Milan which made Napoli have to be careful in the upcoming matches. Napoli will face Sampdoria before they face Juventus. one mistake will make their point distance closer to the rival team below. Napoli have indeed been fasting for the Scudetto title for a long time so they may lose balance a little when they have to fight with big teams like when they were defeated by Inter Milan. Ac milan has found its best form after winning a dramatic win against selernitana, Ac milan I think will continue to stick to Napoli at the top of the standings in the upcoming matches. |

Wow, who would have thought old players like Dzeko and Giroud could be the winner for their team so far. Even though these two players are not players with the luxury of Ronaldo and Messi but to be honest, with them getting older they can still play well and can make a big contribution to their team.
So of course they deserve the highest appreciation or appreciation as old players, at least their current team can provide something special for them.
I didn't watch the game live, but if I consider the results from the statistics at least it seems that Inter were just waiting for Napoli to make a mistake and then Inter counterattacked quickly to score.
Because Napoli only seem to continue to make efforts to make breakthroughs and or create opportunities, but it seems that Inter are playing well and are disciplined in this match so that Napoli has no space to have opportunities to score goals.
Dzeko who was a sticker who was believed earlier this season as a back-up for Romelu Lukaku but he has proven that he is capable of making an extraordinary contribution even at his old age. Indeed, in Serie A, Dzeko and Giroud often provide positive things for their respective teams, even the presence of these two stars can change the situation at the end of the game. this week we see inter milan, ac milan and juventus both win full points when facing their opponents. These three teams are equally compact to minimize the points behind Napoli. the point gap between Ac milan and Napoli is getting closer if Napoli can't keep up their good performance maybe these three teams will continue to put pressure on Napoli in every game. |

Yes, because basically Chelsea's performance has even decreased since the start of the season which was still handled by Tuchel, and then Chelsea seemed to have a new hope with Graham Potter which at first was not too bad. But as time went on, Chelsea's performance continued to decline, and many also said that the decision to fire Tuchel was a mistake.
So Chelsea's bad results don't just happen after the World Cup break, because in reality Chelsea haven't been good since the start of this season. With this severe decline in performance, of course this season it will not be possible for Chelsea to be able to return to the top four in the Premier League standings.
Because if we compare it with the other big teams this season, it is clear that other teams this season are better than Chelsea.
What's more about Manchester United, I'm very sure they will be able to maintain their position in the top four and with this result, Manchester City will be more motivated to be able to consistently win three points.
Chelsea in Tuchel hands is better in my opinion, but he doesn't get the trust of Todd Boehly. Graham potter can provide a lot of hope for fans but he seems to be increasingly difficult to do so because Chelsea's performance has decreased after the world cup break. now in today match Chelsea will face manchester city at the Stamford Bridge stadium which in the statistics of their last 5 meetings manchester city won 3 wins and chelsea won 2 wins. the average match for the two of them did not happen to rain goals alias ended with a thin score at the end of the game. I believe that in the duel later, Manchester City will probably be the favorite to win, because Manchester City performance has so far been better than Chelsea's. if chelsea swallows defeat i make sure the fans will shower bad words for graham potter. |

At this moment Barcelona and Xavi have to correct all the mistakes. If they make a single mistake in the next match, there will be no chance of winning the championship. A draw in the previous match and this state of affairs in this last match is not a good sign
why are you so sure if barcelona make one more mistake they will lose the chance to become champions? Do you see that this season there are still many matches to come, to measure who will be the champion this season I think now is not the right time to say that because there are still many matches to come for Barcelona and Real Madrid. in fact, in my opinion, real madrid also has the potential to make mistakes and they might lose points in the upcoming matches. but for now I think these two teams still have a chance and continue to compete in every game that will come. barcelona gets a tougher opponent this week because atletico madrid could be a team that will interfere with barcelona to be at the top of the standings. |

Chelsea don't want to pay that kind of money for Enzo Fernandez and on the other hand Benfica won't let the player go if not for the price they want, in this case it will be difficult to find a deal, unless they look at options for the transfer to go smoothly. I also think maybe the money would be more useful to Chelsea if it was allocated to other players, in other words they bought other players. Actually they can do it, it's just that maybe for now it's Enzo who is more attractive to Chelsea.
Chelsea made a lower bid than what Benfica wanted. benfica will expressly not release Enzo Fernandez if chelsea is unable to meet the asking price according to what benfica wants. It is this one side that hampers the agreement between Chelsea and Benfica. In addition there is no clear spot whether Chelsea will move forward to submit a higher bid or Chelsea will look at other options by looking at other players. Regarding Rafael Leao, it looks like he will agree to a new contract proposed by AC Milan because in some news, Tonali leaked that Leao was very happy at Ac Milan. |

One of the most worrying things is Westham being outplayed easily in every single game. They may have a half decent 10/20 minute spell here and there but that's it. West ham really needed to win because I knew that if they didn't, they will be in the relegation fight. This will be very difficult to get out of now and they may very well be relegated this year.
West ham is almost close to the relegation hole where everton and west ham collect the same points and only west ham is superior in goal productivity. West ham in the last 5 matches they only won 1 draw and 4 defeats. west ham lost the chance to get full points against leeds where this match should have been used well but leeds was able to apply pressure so they were able to equalize the advantage at the end of the match. Tottenham, who had been worried about their poor performance in their last two matches, but last game against Crystal Palace, Tottenham were able to return to winning ways by recording a landslide victory with a score of 0-4. |

Yes, the match live, and as I expected Arsenal immediately put pressure on the Newcastle defensive area. I think Arsenal will probably win the first half in this way but if Newcastle get first then I think Arsenal will be in trouble. The first 20 minutes I saw Newcastle quite capable of holding off Arsenal's attacks, that's good for them but it looks like Arsenal have to be careful because Newcastle are very dangerous.
Indeed, Arsenal exerted quite aggressive pressure in the first half, Arsenal had several opportunities but were unable to execute them into goals. newcastle only took advantage of the counterattack from what i saw in the first half. but newcastle united's defense was pretty good in the first half. 0-0 score is still not resolved until the first half ended. This is an away game for Newcastle United and I believe Howe implemented a defensive strategy in the first half before they were really able to control the game from Arsenal. we will see the second half, I think in the second half there will be buying and selling attacks to break the deadlock in today's game. I still have a firm belief that Arsenal can win this match in order to maintain hope to continue to be at the top of the standings and also keep points away from rival Manchester City. |

Well, 2022 is over, the results of the year are summed up, which means the time has come conduct the next survey. I would like to know the opinion of users about what 2023 will be like for bitcoin and what to expect from the market this year? Will there be a new bottom? Will the bearish trend continue, or will the market enter a recovery and accumulation phase? What annual candle will the price of bitcoin close in 2023? Will there be ATH, if not, what peak prices can we expect this year? In my opinion, now Bitcoin is in consolidation, reaching a new bottom, although possible, is unlikely. This year there will be a recovery in the price of bitcoin, but ATH is definitely not worth the wait. The maximum price of bitcoin can reach the last maximum of 2022, at around $48,000. By the way, it was from this mark that the price started in 2022, and it was to this mark that the price came before descending below $20,000. Hopes and dreams have become things that investors, traders and miners really desire, of the many that I mentioned maybe their dream is to see Btc make a new ATH in 2023. I may not see full details of market treatment in 2022 but in my memory there are some important events that destroyed this industry in 2022 and many of them lost everything. so apart from that every price increase will be an encouragement for Btc holders, maybe to reach a new ATH we need patience but that is our dream. I see the market cycle will gradually improve and the market impulse will improve soon. patience is the key to what happened in the previous year. |

They both have a strong defense but Arsenal scored the second-highest goals in this season of Premier League so far. They have very good strong and in-form attacking players. On the other hand Newcastle is doing very well both in attack and defense, especially in defense. This match will be very interesting and decisive for both teams for their spot in the league table.
This match will take place in about 3 minutes. I can't wait to see how strong Newcastle United will be when it comes to meeting the league leaders. arsenal is very strong this season they have managed to keep their distance from manchester city, now in the match against newcastle united can arteta secure 3 points at home. for Howe this is a big enough challenge to get back to winning ways after being held to a draw by leeds. these two teams are both aiming for victory and seeing their consistency in the Epl I'm sure this match will be quite tough, in fact I'm sure this match will end with a narrow score. my prediction is 1-0 to win for arsenal and hope they score in first half. |

If you see Elon musk saying about bitcoin for sure he's not going to lie about that for sure, but we need to see the recovery process that's going to happen in 2023 before next year where the bitcoin halving, so people are definitely going to put a lot of money this year into crypto , so trust to buy it in this year stock more bitcoin or other crypto eg dogecoin as support also for elon musk  I also wish what Elon Musk said would come true, but if I had to stock up on other cryptocurrencies besides more Bitcoin, I wouldn't choose Dogecoin for this or this year. Because I don't feel the need to support Elon Musk by buying Dogecoin, but I prefer to buy other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or BNB or Matic for example. And this doesn't mean I don't like Dogecoin or Elon Musk. But I just have more faith in everything else and Bitcoin in general. |

@Z-tight, I have to say that I have been in the same position as you as I have just recently discovered how good Lens have been this season apart from PSG. This is true that we only talk about how good PSG is because PSG is meant to be good with the great individual players they have but I have to really appreciate how good Lens have been so far this season. They have done a great job beating PSG by scoring three goals and I hope that they will give a tough fight to PSG for the league title.
Lens has been able to make it difficult for PSG just because Neymar and Messi didn't play against Lens. So that's actually not a threat to PSG, even though it's very serious because PSG had to lose by that much score. But PSG still has a bigger chance in the next game although Lens will try to make it difficult for PSG to win when they meet again this season, although later Neymar and Messi will play in the squad as usual. |

Both teams are with the same amount of points but even real madrid performance is not that great they are not unbeatable and there are games where they won with difficulty in the last minutes, i think both teams have the same chances winning the title which make laliga really interesting this season.
The odds are indeed the same even though in the end someone has to lose or win. But if you look at it in the near future, it looks like the two of them will overtake each other to sit at the top. Because Barcelona will meet a slightly strong opponent, namely Atletico Madrid, as well as Real Madrid who will face Villarreal even though the Villarreal team is in seventh place at the moment, but this team is not a weak team this season in La Liga |

The Champion league fixtures between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are scheduled to take place on 15th February 2023, and by then Borussia Dortmund may have given out their supper star midfielder; Jude Bellingham. If this happens, it will make an easier game for Porter's side. The only problem is the lack of coordination in the pattern of football porter has introduced to the team. With the absence of Jude Bellingham and the arrival of Christopher Nkunku and Enzo Fernandez, I think Chelsea has an upper hand in qualifying for the next stage.
The top 16 in the UCL is not a coincidence all the clubs that have qualified must have done a tough job getting to that point, so there is no need to underestimate Dortmund I think also the Champions league event is still a long way off, so it is difficult to predict early on, I am worried that Chelsea will get a surprise from Dortmund  From my point of view, Chelsea got a very balanced opponent in the Champions League in the round of 16, so nothing will be underestimated here because Dortmund is also not in a bad condition so it is very possible that Dortmund can surprise the Champions League when they face Chelsea. However, considering that the matches in the Champions League are still a long time away and this discussion is more suitable for the topic of the Champions League, not in the Bundesliga. |

It's true, anything that looks impossible can happen in football, moreover this is the Premier League which we all know that the Premier League is a league that is very difficult to predict the results of matches or who will win the title. Until this week we have seen lots of surprises from the teams that are here. It is possible that even in the Liverpool match they will feel disappointment when they face Brentford later.
Liverpool have indeed lost to a bottom team this season, but Liverpool definitely don't want to be conceded for the second time even though Brentford is not a team that is at the bottom. I believe that the Liverpool vs Brentford match will be even more exciting and this is what the audience really wants because when there are two teams that are fighting for full points, then the match will be even more interesting to watch |

Barcelona really needed to win this match to maintain a good position in La-Liga. But I don't see much improvement in the Barcelona team. Midfielder problem remains in the team. Hope the coach of the team will solve these problems and move on to a better place. Because if these problems are not solved, they will lose to teams like Real Madrid.
If this is still considered a serious enough problem for the Barcelona team, improvements to this line must be made immediately by the team coach because in the near future Barcelona will face an opponent who is not weak and is currently in fourth place in the standings, namely Atletico Madrid. If Barcelona loses the match with Atletico Madrid, it can make Barcelona drop from its current position (top of standings). |

Monaco are facing brest team at the moment, monaco are currently at the fifth place another result other than the win will put them in danger of losing their position, their opponent is in a tight spot in the relegation zone so this will be a high stake game for both teams but i still see monaco team pull off a win.
The second half for the Monaco vs Brest match has continued and now Monaco is one goal ahead of Brest at home. This is a very good opportunity for Monaco to get a better position in the standings, because if Rennes does not win against Nice, then fourth place will belong to Monaco for a while. So I think Monaco will not waste this opportunity to get full points, especially since the team they are facing at the moment is a team that is in the relegation zone. |

right, it seems $15k-$16k is the lowest price of bitcoin in 2022. if in 2023 the news about the world economic recession is not true I believe the price of bitcoin in 2023 will be much better than 2022. I say so because most people believe in 2024 is the next phase of the bull market, thus there will be many investors buying bitcoins or altcoins to welcome the bull market in 2024.
Since the next bull market for Bitcoin is still a long way off, it is better to hope that Bitcoin price is no longer below $20K as the market seems to be right now. Because when the price of Bitcoin has increased again this year, there will be many new people who believe in Bitcoin so that it can also make Bitcoin continue to be stronger in the market. So no need to remember the next bull market because everyone has to go through this year first before 2024. |

I think spending foolishly on shoes and clothes these days is the biggest mistake one can do .. during this time of the year when people try to have less gathering and maintain distance - - one can have comfortable and nice dress one already have. . The COVID has made people realize that the biggest blessing in life is health and that is it.
Health is indeed a blessing in everyone's life, because maintaining health is not easy because everyone needs to ensure that every food that enters their body is healthy food. Many valuable lessons and experiences were born through the condition of Covid, because with this everyone already has a better idea of everything they want to do. But I won't consider other people stupid when they still want to gather and don't keep their distance from each other, because maybe they already have immunity in their bodies or have implemented health protocols as recommended by doctors. |
