Honestly, at first I thought that maybe Leverkusen's presence in the top five of the standings was just their luck by winning their last few matches before managing to occupy the top position, I think maybe some people will also assume the same, but it turns out that when we have seen further as time goes by it turns out that the real fact is none other than because they have excellent consistency that is not owned by other clubs, it has been proven from how their struggle in maintaining the top position of the standings, which even a team like Bayern Munich is still quite difficult to take their position.

Xabi Alonso is extraordinary, he was able to change the team from ordinary to extraordinary in a very short time, but even so I hope they will always remember and be firm in preparing whatever they need to be able to perform better or at least as a precaution, none other than because anything can happen in the next match, and also on the other hand Bayern Munich will not let them just occupy the top for a long time. It looks like the competition at the end of the season will be very interesting, we will see these two teams pose a big threat to each other.

Although I think this is not a difficult match for Leverkusen against Union Berlin as I said before, but yes with some success and their seriousness in every match they have passed then yes it is enough to conclude that this season Leverkusen is very different compared to last season, we can see last season they looked ordinary and there was no indication that showed that this season they would be so extraordinary in the competition and also if we look at the statistics last season their number of wins was almost equal to the number of defeats, there was no advantage that looked impressive.

Yes, their success this season is due to the contribution of a coach who has been outstanding in tactically turning his team's performance into extraordinary and all of that is unexpected. And yes, from several teams that are competing fiercely in the top five standings, in my opinion, it is more likely to be able to break the dominance of Bayern Munich as the defending champion title, Leverkusen, because only they are more promising.

Throughout the Premier League matches at the start of this season, perhaps the most exciting match in the first to second half occurred in the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. People must be the same as I thought before starting to play and think Manchester City is a team that will easily get full points. However, Pochettino was able to provide the right strategy in applying pressure. This draw is indeed very deserved, because the statistics for Chelsea and Manchester City are quite balanced. Starting from shots on target, ball control, accuracy to how to dominate the game, it is almost balanced. Pep Guardiola couldn't focus at the end because after Palmer's goal from the penalty spot, Manchester City's game mood fell apart, Palmer as the former club gave Pep a gift. Even though Chelsea was able to hold Manchester City to a draw, their respective positions did not produce results in the standings, with Chelsea still in 8th place and Manchester City firmly at the top of the standings.

In the future, they have two matches this month and it is certain that these two players will not be able to play for AC Milan, whereas in these two matches the opponents will be Fiorentina in Serie A and Dortmund in the UCL.
Indeed, Fiorentina is not dangerous team, but they have produced enough wins to occupy 6th place with 20 points.
This match is threat for Milan because there is possibility that Fiorentina can take advantage of the absence of two great Milan players to beat them and improve their standings by getting full points in this match.
Likewise with the UCL which is definitely an opportunity for Dortmund to win and be far above in Group F.

Until now, we don't know what Milan will do to face these two matches without their mainstay players.
But this is heavy pressure for Milan in this season, which is still relatively early.

For the UCL itself, the three teams Dortmund, PSG and AC Milan have relatively small difference in points and there will be fierce competition for safe positions.

He can at least still contributed to the club despite the decline on his performance. No lewandowski and no win for barcelona against palmas. Laporta needs to raise a lot of money to buy a good striker for barcelona. LEwandowski is very old as a striker and his performance will not be as good as before. Xavi needs to sell some players and used money raised from selling these players to buy the new striker. I have been remembering that some names being line up by barcelona like haaland or even mbappe. that's all depending on the club's decision. That's indeed having a pure striker is more suitable for barcelona.

Lewandowski was also one tap specialist. Barcelona needs also to find his successor while haaland has been linked to the real madrid even before he will be finishing the second season in manchester city.
There will be many surprises to come soon. Madrid and barcelona are still hunting the good strikers to filling the vacant spots on its club.
I think that madrid has more options compared to the barcelona at this moment which is still having financial trouble that has not yet fully solved. The salary cap is also become the problem for barcelona.

No good striker in the club means having more difficulty in scoring against its opponent. Striker has become one of crucial point owned by barcelona to win the game. Having no striker will make the attack will be far less effective.

Screw Rudi Garcia he took Napoli from better to worse. They should have won that game Union Berlin during the Champions League, that game was clear evidence he'll be sacked. How can he lose to the worst club in Bundesliga this season. Last seasons Napoli would have dealt with em.
Antonio Conte rebuffed the offer, he won't be managing any club any time soon, he is spending quality time with his family right now.

Igor Tudor and Fabio Cannavaro, I ain't see nobody coaching before, but Napoli's Management have decided to go with Igor Tudor over Fabio Cannavaro. We'll see how the ride goes!

Manchester United are the only club struggling to win comfortably, they will face Everton next two weeks in the Premier League fixture. Manchester United should win even if Everton would proof stubborn.

Manchester City will be facing Liverpool
Aston Villa would be facing Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal would be up against Brentford a London Derby.

These are the next Premier League fixtures from the top six and they're really difficult to predict.

Lyon really made it to the victory against Rennes.    But of course it was mostly thanks to the red card Rennes got in the 5th minute already. Lyon were really lucky about it. They played really effective in the first half after but still they couldn't score. Instead they finally scored the winner in the last 30 minutes of the game.

Rennes even started to balance the game in the second half. This shows how desperate situation Lyon are in now. They can't even keep dominance against a team with 10 players for a long time.

But in the end this win should be some help for the players to perform better in the upcoming games. It took them a really long time to win their first game of the season.

A quite meaningful win for Leverkusen because they managed to maintain their best form to stay on the winning track. Union Berlin is certainly not a difficult opponent for leverkusen because these two team have had quite different rallies this season where Leverkusen is at the top of the standings and Union Berlin is at the bottom of the standing. 4-0 is quite an ideal score considering that in this match Union was completely unable to threaten Leverkusen goal, Even from their play in this match of course Leverkusen did not provide space for Union Berlin to score.

Leverkusen possible target of winning a trophy this season was not their initial plan, but the match after match they have played makes us assume that Leverkusen will be a team competent enough to win the trophy this season. Bremen and Dortmund will be their opponents in the upcoming match and perhaps Xabi Alonso hard efforts to maximize his chances of getting 3 points will be tried to be stopped by these two team.

no one expected Madrid to score a big score whereas usually Madrid only scores no more than 3 scores and once scored 4 scores against Osasuna and at that time Bellingham also appeared in this match and yesterday Madrid appeared without Bellingham which means Ancelotti increasingly knows what to do he did it to win the La Liga title to get to top of the standings overtaking Girona and it will also be easier for Ancelotti to win UCL title this season.

I admit that as long as there are Vinicius, Rodrygo and key player Toni Kroos, it will be very easy for Real Madrid to win every match and after the international break they will face Cadiz, which is one of small teams for Real Madrid to beat.

Well this is like everything, the case of French is normal, even though they are very good, they need to adapt, the team does not work the same as in Madrid where everyone was very well integrated and everyone spoke the same language, this is new for many players, for me Benzema is good and clearly what they say is real, for me CR7 when he entered Saudi football could not shine as much as he did in Europe, and even though they are stars who are very good, they cannot demonstrate everything they They have it because this style of football varies, their teammates and everything are at a different speed, the weather, everything affects them, so this is normal, you can't miss that they perform like in Europe, because they are not machines, they are just people who They have a lot to offer for the goalkeeper, but I am sure that when Benzema adapts, the goal festival will begin, this is not so easy because things can vary in many ways, as I said anything can affect the starting performance.

The best players in the world are going to this football, it may be that things can go in the right direction when it comes to doing things better, so in this order of ideas we can affirm that any player has a period of adaptation, it is similar When a person enters a company where they need to take courses and training to adapt to work, in any football club this works like this, for that reason we have to do many things, we have to consider that any adaptation takes time, but Given that Bezmea is a very good player, this adaptation period should be done as quickly as possible, so that the spoken language may have to learn one or another word so that it is better understood. This works like this as long as the interest of the player is there. very high, for me Benzema will do very well, this is not so easy, everyone thinks that Saudi football is simple, easy, but it is not like that.

I appreciate coach Mauricio Pochettino's strategy to keep attacking even when it is obvious that he also needs to defend more. Manchester City is a very good attacking side so I was scared when he took the risk of replacing Moises Caicedo with Armando Broja. Meanwhile, he knew that the extra time would be long based on the time that was spent on VAR checks. And his experiment was fruitful because Broja won a penalty through the sliding Ruben Dias. It was a good game to watch again and again, I have even watched the review two times.

VAR might have a positive impact on football but it is making the game boring. VAR checks these days in the Premiership are taking so much time and it's not funny anymore. To check the slight struggle between Marc Cucurella and Haaland VAR took three minutes and 37 seconds and it took a needles two minutes for referee Anthony Taylor to confirm that Diaz's tackle on Broja was a penalty. It might reduce error but I feel it is becoming stressful and energy-consuming and it might not be healthy for people with health concerns like high blood pressure.

Antonio Conte last coached Tottenham and is currently in free position or not coaching any team so no one really knows why he rejected the offer, because Napoli is also pretty big and strong team.
I not sure that Conte rejected the offer just because he wasn't interested, there must be another reason for the rejection.

If you compare Igor Tudor and Fabio Cannavaro then I would say Igor Tudor is more worthy as coach and he is also coach with quite good experience, even when he coached Marseille his performance was not that bad.
But it back to the Napoli owner and team administrators to determine who they will choose as replacement for Rudi Garcia.

In terms of the depth of performance, PSG players are indeed superior compared to other teams and on the one hand, PSG still has very high quality players like Mbappe, so Enrique opportunity to bring PSG to the top of the standings is still very much hoped for. Its just that what PSG needs now is consistency because of several times experienced defeat due to a lack of consistency in the attack line. Its very natural that it might still be unstable and I understand that because as long as it has a schedule that is very close to UCL, PSG performance will decline a little, but after having a slightly looser schedule, this team strong performance will definitely return and be at the top of the standings.
we dont need to worry as long as we still have Mbappe. PSG still has a chance to win the title in League 1.

If Mbappe's move to Real Madrid fails, what makes you think Haaland will be Real Madrid's next target? Simply by looking, it is clear that Haaland will not be leaving Manchester City anytime soon. This is only his second season with the club, and he has been performing fantastically well, much to the delight of his teammates, coach, fans, and team management.

There hasn't even been a rumour about Haaland leaving this club, and I doubt it will happen even if Real Madrid expresses interest in him today. With his present form and the team he is playing for, he is capable of winning any trophy in Europe, as they are among the top teams in Europe after winning the treble last season. If Haaland will leave Manchester City, it will be later in his career, when he has spent more years with the club.

Chelsea have only won 4 wins this season and of course their performance has not yet fully returned to their best form. However, their game might be a little better because they were able to prevent Manchester City from getting 3 points at Stamford Bridge. In this match, the attacking action in the first half to the second half was quite good because both teams played openly to score goals in this match. I also praise the quality of Jackson where he contributed to scoring goals in this match because he was not able to contribute much in the previous match but he has now started to find ways to score goals, I think he has to maintain his best form because if he has difficulty scoring goal could be that chelsea will look for another sticker in the transfer window this winter.

Apart from that, the quality of play of the two teams in this match was really balanced and it didn't seem difficult for Chelsea to put pressure on Manchester City. Maybe it's fair enough that the score is a draw for this match because both teams performed well in this match. For City, they lead the standings with a point margin that is quite close to Arsenal. In fact, we will again see a fierce competition between Arsenal and Manchester City who will mutually defend their place on the standings.

Chelsea will not want to drop points in today's home match against Manchester City after a big win against Tottenham in the last match. Chelsea's performance has improved and this was evident from their performance against Tottenham. And they are playing very well in today's match as well. Chelsea is attacking from the beginning of the match today. The Chelsea coach is well aware that playing a defensive strategy against Manchester City is not possible to earn points.

Haaland scored from the penalty spot in the 25th minute of the match. However, it did not take much time for the Chelsea team to equalize the match. Thiago Silva's goal after just 4 minutes tied the match at 1-1. Players from both teams continued to try to score. Looks like we will see a lot of goals in this match.

Edit : Chelsea scored another goal in the 37th minute. Sterling scored a wonderful goal from James' pass. However, the goal was due to a mistake by Gvardiol.

Mitrovic is not the only one who is always a goal scorer for the Al Hilal squad, he has only scored 10 goals in his 11 matches.  in fact, in 13 Al Hilal matches, they have collected 34 goals. Al Hilal has other players who also contribute, such as Malcom and Al Dawsari, their local players. Al Dawsari, has scored 7 goals in 13 matches and he is a winger. Malcom, a new recruit before Mitrovic joined Al Hilal, this player was often rotated as a center forward. So far, he plays on the wing and sometimes as an attacking midfielder and has scored 6 goals. Michael, this season he has scored minimal goals. However, his position is no less important than the other players.

The point is, Al Hilal's players, especially on the front line, are able to play in various positions. Moreover, if Neymar fully recovers from his injury. This team will be even sharper in terms of scoring goals.
BTW, before Neymar was brought to Al Hilal, Mitrovic had been an Al Hilal player and his position had been patented as a central striker. As for Neymar, his job is more about building attacks and bringing Al Hilal to victory. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury while on duty with the Brazilian national team.

Its difficult thing with teams want to make PSG under pressure because loss points from unpredictable teams, Nice have got draw against Montpellier and most surprised they can't scoring one goal yet and make their first standings position taken by PSG after wining over Reims 0-3 and have one point left awhile from Nice. Another inconsistent performance from AS Monaco who have good started but they can't keep pressure PSG on the first standings position until have three points left from PSG after playing 12 matches. Will PSG easily dominance Ligue 1 again in this season due some compete teams can't consistent their performance and loss many important points to make pressure PSG on the highest standings position.

Next match PSG vs Monaco is moment if want to make PSG on pressure for the first standings place, if loss points in this match I doubt with other teams have chance for stopping PSG to win Ligue 1 season 2023/24.

The result of the match will not affect Liverpool's chances of winning the group because they have collected nine points. This defeat provides an opportunity for Toulouse to catch up on Liverpool's points in the remaining matches and if Liverpool are careless again like when they faced Toulouse then they might fail to win the group. However, I think this will be a special consideration for Jurgen Klopp and he will definitely try to evaluate this match so that it doesn't happen again in the remaining matches.

Having players who are much more capable should be a good asset for Liverpool to achieve victory. But if you look at the match Liverpool had difficulty developing their game and a number of opportunities were still poor in the final finish. Only in the 70th minute did they start to show their usual rhythm of play, but unfortunately until the match ended they failed to add a goal because Toulouse players were solid in defense.
