There will be no big problems for Real Madrid in this match. They will continue their winning trend in this match. Osasuna is not a strong opponent, just don't underestimate it. But Real Madrid has its own way of winning games. I wouldn't be surprised if in this match Osasuna scored first. Because at the end of the day it's a game that Real Madrid will comfortably win.
Real madrid have a great chance to secure 3 points because the opponents they face are arguably not too difficult to beat by real madrid. one of the full support, among others, this match will be played at the bernabeu stadium which incidentally is quite hot in this match. Benzema is also expected to play in this match after recovering from injury. but osasuna have also impressed at the start of this season and at least can be a frightening specter if the real madrid players are not consistent in dealing with them. on the other hand Barcelona will face Mallorca in this week match where Xavi squad will certainly try hard to secure 3 points away from home. The match looks to be in the favor of Real Madrid on paper, the stats show that both teams have a history when it comes to head to head meetings and Real Madrid have always been the better side. But I wouldn’t underrate them, Osasuna have also shown strength sometimes, holding Madrid to a goalless draw which means Osasuna have a chance to get a draw especially now that they have been in very fine form in the league. |

Arsenal's defense will be a bit weak in this match. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney are injured while midfielder Thomas Partey is injured. So Arsenal's defense will be a bit weak. Both Heung Min Son and Harry Kane are in great form. If these two players are able to play well then Arsenal's defense will not be too difficult to break down. However, Arsenal's attack is very strong. They managed to score 17 goals in 7 matches. So I think the match will be competitive and both teams will be able to score more than two goals. Both teams have equal chances to win this match.
One thing I noticed about this arsenal team this season is that,the players that are not playing regularly are ready if the are call upon, I think Sambi will replace Partey as he did when the Ghanian was injured, he has improved a lot this term, the problems will come in the left back position because both zinchenko and Tierney are injured and there is no natural left back in the team but I expect another defender to shift to that position,Tomiyasu can do just fine there,he played there when he was at Bologna in Italy and he is also good player, arsenal should not have excuse not to play well. The good thing about Arsenal is that they have some versatile players who can play in different positions for team. Too bad they have to be without some of their first team players, it is definitely a big blow for Arteta in the coming games. Arteta should work on fixing this issue by getting more signings in January to make the team better. |

It is true that Barcelona's concentration for now is preparing to face Inter in the Champions League. Because after being defeated by Bayern,
Barcelona must be able to bounce back and must win against Inter if Barcelona are to ensure qualification for the next round. If we look at Inter's
poor performance this season, Barcelona should be able to beat Inter. But Inter are a strong team and are not easy to beat, so Barcelona must be
careful when facing Inter. After Barcelona managed to beat Inter, then Barcelona can start preparing for the El Clasico match. Moreover, Barcelona
got bad news with 4 of its players who suffered injuries due to defending their respective national teams. Memphis Depay, Frenkie de Jong,
Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde are the names of injured Barcelona players. Fortunately, only Araujo is the player who will be out for a maximum of
about 7 weeks, 3 more players hopefully can recover quickly.
Too bad Barcelona have found their self in a very tough group and they will be competing against big teams like Bayern and Inter Milan. The previous game they lost to Bayern Munich was a disappointing one and to boost the team's moral they will be looking to win against Inter in the next group game. I'm not quite sure if Barcelona will be able to achieve this because it will be a tough one for them. |

...according to this ranking the forward from psg Kylian Mbappe is in first place and close behind is the new man city forward Erling Haaland
Sometimes i can't imagine how much City bought Haaland for; when i look at Erling Haaland's market value in this ranking, and compare it with what City paid Dortmund (€60m) to acquire his services, then i think from City's perspective it was an absolute bargain, and a wonderful piece of transfer business from the Etihad club, i know they aren't selling Haaland anytime soon, absolutely not; but i can imagine if they are to put Haaland up for sale right now, he'll be on for above €100m. City are definitely going to have Haaland for a very long time, and he's going to score a plethora of goals and win numerous titles with City. Can Mbappe to Madrid happen sometime in the future? After the saga of a few months ago. Manchester city definitely have a rare gem on their hands, it is so shocking when you think of how much Haaland was bought for and how much quality he brings to this Manchester city side. It is a really good bargain Manchester City have with Haaland, he is such a terrific player, scoring goals for fun and keeping City at the top of the league. With Haaland city now looks formidable and difficult to complete against. |

A 2-3 month absence is expected for Ronald Araújo following surgery on his right thigh. He will miss the World Cup due to this surgery. Unfortunately, this is bad news for the Uruguay National Team and FC Barcelona as well. There are almost all of Xavi's first eleven injured, which is too much for him. El Clásico or the World Cup don't matter as much as our health! I wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back stronger than ever.
Ronald Araujo's injury is going to be a big problem for Xavi, for Barcelona and for the Uraguay national team in the world cup. It is so disappointing when you get to lose key players especially when you are close to a big game ahead, I feel pity for Xavi at this time when the team is suffering series of injury cases, he will have to look to substitute players at this point and hope they will give in their best shot to stay on track and maintain the rythm in which they started the league on.. |

Watford FC confirms Slaven Bilić as its new Head Coach on an 18-month contract, subject to receiving the relevant work permit. https://www.watfordfc.com/news/official-bilic-appointed-hornets-head-coachWatford signed a 1.5-year deal with Slaven Bilic. He previously coached West Ham United and West Bromwich. He has England experience. In fact, he played in the English Premier League as a football player. He is no stranger to England. According to some news I read in the press, Watford changed 4 coaches in the last year. Slaven Bilic will be their 5th coach. Watford have 14 points in the Championship and they are currently in 10th place. It's always difficult to build a good career in the England. I wonder if Slaven Bilic will succeed in the difficult one. I think this deal should have been done last year when Watford were still battling to remain in the premier league and secure their stay. I think this is coming late and at a time when the team is already relegated and playing in the championship league but I hope Slaven Bilic with his experience in the English premier league as you say can change things, improve the team and lead them to gain promotion back to the English Premier league. |

I think they will draw a good graph at UCL. Looking at the points they lost in the league, everyone can easily say that they did not play badly. Let's not see if things don't seem to be going well. In my opinion, Bayern's squad is very strong. They also achieve certain success in the champions league.
Munich will be aggressive from now on to find a central striker. they already have a strong team. but indeed they are in trouble with their squad in the league. but it won't take long, I'm sure Munich will soon emerge from this situation. the winter transfer window will be an opportunity for Munich to get a new striker. Mane's arrival may be felt less. and Munich must get to make the Munich front line scary again. In the last four games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has scored 4 goals, and they have conceded 5 goals. Bayern Munich has trouble scoring against defensive teams. And most teams in the Bundesliga will play a defensive strategy against Bayern. And so Bayern needs an experienced striker now, or they will have to come up with a change in match strategy. I look forward to seeing Nagelsmann's strategy against Leverkusen. Now that Bayern Munich can't add new players to the squad, Nagelsmann is likely to change tactics in his next match. I haven't been following the Bundesliga because my decoder doesn't air the Bundesliga games but with these stats I can say Bayern Munich are truly lacking a good finisher in the team, someone who can convert most of the chances created in every game, someone who can step into Lewandowski's boots and lead the team's attack, adding strength and good conversion. |

Man United is lucky to have a formidable goalkeeper like De Gea. Even though in the last few seasons Man United's performances have not been satisfactory but De Gea is one of the players whose performance is quite consistent. There are rumors that Man United will not extend De Gea's contract and would let De Gea leave on a free transfer, because Man United seems unwilling to spend a lot of money on his salary, and looks like Man United is also looking for a new goalkeeper to replace De Gea.
Rashford has been in good form this season, and he fits with Ten Hag's football, so it should be that Man United has to keep him (moreover, Man United don't have a lot of options in their attack line).
David De Gea have been a very important player for Manchester United for many years, he will forever be remembered for his incredible saves and top class performances and numerous clean sheets. De gea is indeed a savior for Manchester United I still remember many games Manchester United were to lose if not for the incredible performances from David De Gea but and he won't be there to save the club forever, if he leaves he will be leaving as a legend for the club. |

Manchester City have shown how much they want the champions league, it is not a secret ambition as their objectives are clear for everyone to see from how much they spend in getting world-class players and top talents and sack coaches who fail to win the trophy for the club so it is no longer something new. Manchester City are looking stronger this season. I will love to see a final between PSG and Manchester City to see who wants it more.
I don't think City sack coaches who do not win them the Champions League, if that was the case they would have sacked Pep Guardiola who has been in charge of the team for about 6 or so years and have failed to win the Champions League for City, even when Mancini and Pellegrini left the club, it wasn't because they didn't win the CL, it was because they both were not able to make City a very consistent team in the big stage, the team was somewhat erratic then, and thus they needed a manager that could give them a certain standard. Having said that, Manchester City are yet to sack Pep Guardiola because of the consistently high level City have been playing under his management for the past 6 years or so, winning quite a lot of trophies and breaking numerous records in the process, they might not have been able to win the CL just yet, but his achievements with the team surpasses a CL trophy. City want to win the CL, no doubt about that, but they will be very happy with Pep and the level he has brought the team to, and they will not exchange him for a manager that will win them the CL and take them back to an inconsistent/erratic level. By the way, i would also love to see a CL final between City and PSG this season. I think Manchester City have a different approach and style to sacking managers because if they were to act like Chelsea, Pep Guardiola would have been sacked a long time ago for failing to win the champions league especially after coming so close to semi finals and the finals and losing he would have been sacked immediately but the club has given him more time and support instead which seems very fair after all he has been doing so well in the league and winning other trophies. |

I'm waiting for the Manchester derby between long time rivals, Manchester United and Manchester City when the league resumes, I'm pretty sure Manchester United will want to prove once more that they are a better team than Manchester City. On the other hand, Manchester City will be looking to get all three points to secure their the top position if Arsenal fail to win against Spurs, the match will be really tough and entertaining.

It looks like FC Bayern is interested in signing Tottenham's Harry Kane. FC Bayern is said to have contacted the player and advised him to wait with a contract extension until Bayern has made an offer for him. After the departure of Robert Lewandowski, FC Bayern has an urgent need for a striker - Mané has (unfortunately) not yet been able to meet the high demands. So that the discussions about another striker at FC Bayern are currently increasing strongly.  Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1573214071993913345Harry Kane at Bayern? Would absolutely love that! What about you guys?  Harry Kane could really do exploits for Bayern Munich if the deal pulls through. Kane is an exceptional player who I strongly believe can strive and maintain top scoring form in any league on the world. For a team like Bayern who have very talented players including Sadio Mane, Musiala and Gnabry it will definitely be an atmosphere for Harry Kane to make impact, scoring a high amount of goals and strengthening the team. |

Angel Dimaria transfer to Juventus was a good one for the club and even at old age he is still a good and creative midfielder. He has proven his quality over time and has played in the world biggest stages.
Juventus has much injury problems, even before now, it has been and that is how I understood that younger players heal faster than old players when there is an injury.
But I cannot say that these are the major reasons for Juventus poor performance, I can say that it's the coach.
Angel Dimaria is one very experienced and talented player I have come to love watching play for his pace, dribbling skills and outstanding creativity. He has proven his quality times without number even in his time at PSG so there is little or less to prove further, he is aging and gradually stepping into retirement but still making his marks over the time for Juventus. It really baffles me that he is still good and has something to offer at this stage of his career. |

Allegri is currently close to the point of being sacked by Juventus, the team is currently in a bad condition and failing to win games. I expected Juventus to come back stronger this season to reclaim their place as the dominant team in the seria A, something needs to be done quickly, Allegri has to work the team to improvement and back to winning ways or risk losing his job which already Juventus are discussing with some candidates to take up the job if this happens.

The Arsenal squad have been improving since Arteta came in and so far it's really exciting to see how much support the top Hierarchy have shown to Arteta. Assessing the squad, Arsenal have quite some very experienced and talented players but they still have to make additions to some positions and strengthen the squad in January, that way it will help them stay consistent till the end of the season.

Milan currently has players with injuries and also unable to play for other reasons, when they are complete they can be very dangerous so that they manage to win games, also the big teams have a chance to hire good players when the market opens again, I will give an example of juventus who are currently a shit team, but if they send the coach away and manage to put a good coach and buy good players when the market opens then juventus could still be champion, in the case of inter, for example, only this is them lacking to hire a good player for the attack, they could manage to be in the Top and be champions. in short: the big teams still have a lot of chances to be champions
Struggling with injuries at this stage of the league is not so good. At this stage of the league it is important to get as much points possible. With a complete squad Milan will play much better and win games easily. This is just how important and efficient having quality squad is, it gives you other options when you suffer injuries like this but I believe soon they will get back to good form again when the injured players start getting back to fitness. |

According to some news, Leicester board are thinking of giving one last chance to Brendan Rodgers. That chance is their next league game against Nottingham home.
I don't know if their current condition is really Rodgers' fault. Because most people are already aware of the source of their main problem now. It is about their defense. They don't have a reliable defense line now and this causes them to concede so many goals in most of their games. The huge loss against Tottenham has made things even worse for them mentally. I don't know how good their financial status is now. But if they have enough money to bring some defenders in January then I think Rodgers should be given time until then. If he makes good transfers and it affects the team performance positively then there would be no need for bringing a new manager. It is also a process in the end as the players will need time to adapt to the system of that new manager.
I really can't tell whether Leicester City poor form is because of inefficiency of Rodger's strategies and tactics because this was same tactics that he used that won the league for Leicester City in 2016, I think the possible problem could be the incapability of the players available. The club has been selling the talented players and failing to recruit new players to improve the squad which has been detrimental to the team. |

Lewandowski was one of the best in the league and in his time, this days we barely have strikers who still get 30 plus goals at the end of the season and his departure clearly has had some effect on the team. Bayern Munich is currently lacking a lethal striker who can secure many goals for the team, some who scores goals for fun and can take the centre stage and lead the attack.

Bayern will certainly pick form,but we can also assume that the absence of Lewandowski is now having effect on their team,because Lewandowski was so instrumental to the success of Bayern that they will continue to miss him at his absent.He was replaced by Mane whose impact is also now felt by Liverpool.I still think the league has not gotten anywhere yet for us to conclude that Bayern will not meet up this season,things can just change and they will start winning matches again and they will win the tittle again.
Robert Lewandowski shouldn't be an important problem for Bayern Munich, because they've got high scores without relying on Robert Lewandowski, so with Mane they should be able to adapt to new players and try to work as a team well to be able to shoot on goal and score. goals, in fact the game of football is not dominated by only one person but requires excellent teamwork. I don't think the absence of Robert Lewandowski is the cause why Bayern Munich are not performing well, that's not true. After Lewandowski left when the league began Bayern Munich performance were outstanding for sometime and they were able to score good amount of goals in every match. Mane started well with Bayern Munich, his performance was impressive, he didn't struggle in any match. If Mane was not good enough for Bayern Munich we would have noticed that from the beginning when the league started. The challenge Bayern Munich are facing can't be solved by one player, it needs to be solve by all players in the team . Robert Lewandowski's departure has created a gap in the team which Sadio Mane has not being able to fill. I also have faith in Sadio Mane and strongly believe he can be a star at Bayern Munich even if not totally filling that space for Lewandowski, Mane can still strengthen the attack from the wings which has been his favored position for years and he can play very play from that position, he just needs time to settle in. |
