Addition to what you've said, all four fixtures against Real Madrid and Barcelona won them all. ~

Hmm what? Real Madrid won the first game against Barcelona last season with a score of 3-1 and knocked them out of the Spanish Cup. I don’t understand how you can write something that didn’t happen? Is it really difficult to check information if you yourself don’t remember exactly?
As for the strengths of the teams this season, of course Real looks like the clear favorite, although the bookmakers give it a modest advantage before the head-to-head meeting.

No. No. No. I don't mean to be rude but you've got to go do your check properly. Three to one goal was 2022. That was the last game of the season and Real Madrid won.

I got it wrong, Last season, Barcelona and Real Madrid met five times or four times. Twice was during the Copa Del Ry and Real Madrid won the first game with four goals to nothing, Barcelona later won the other leg with three goals to nothing.
Go check it out and see you're not correct.

Real Madrid looks like favorites until the ens of 90 minutes. I don't want to pick a side, but I'm rooting for Barcelona to win Spanish League once again this season.

If I may ask, are you certain that Barcelona will claim the league title this year? Although Barcelona is well renowned for their strong performances and is one of the top teams in La Liga, I want you to check the condition that Barcelona players are currently in before making any predictions on who will win the league title. I believe that the league has not advanced that far, but if Barcelona player's did not return in time it will affect them. Many Barcelona players are currently injured, and even before that Barcelona was still in third place.

Real Madrid also has injured players, but given how well the team has performed this year and how quickly those players have recovered, only Courtios and Militao will miss the remainder of the campaign. Because these two teams are so strong and skilled at playing one another, I am unable to predict the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, there is one aspect of their game that bothers me: fighting. Real Madrid and Barcelona haven't played together before, so I can't guarantee that there won't be any misunderstandings. That is the only aspect of their match that bothers me.

I'm certain to an extent, not hundred percent though, I'm rooting for Barcelona just like I did last season, I knew Xavi Hernandez was Gon win something in his second season. It's been like that for some Barcelona debut managers.
It's not really about now you get me? Barcelona has the depth and players to win the Spanish La Liga with all due respect.
They had similar Injuries and Xavi Hernandez handled the squad with the list of players present.

It's Round 9 if not Round 10 of the matches played, Barcelona are not so far away from the top of that league, don't they dare let it slip away.
I still don't doubt Real Madrid. Though, I'm still of the opinion that, without a natural number nine, they're not going to win the league.

Lukaku refused playing for Chelsea not even that, he refused retuning for training sections with the club and said he will no longer play for them.
Same happened with Inter Milan, the fans rejected him and same goes to his friend and former teammate who he once defended on and off the pitch Laturo Martinez. In the time of struggle when Lukaku needed them support he had none.

Both for Roma and Belgium. He has scored some good number of goals should be five goals in Seria A ( I'm not so sure. ) Wow, that's awesome, being the top scorer ahead of Ronaldo and other top European players. He has worked hard for this honestly.
Romelu Lukaku was a traitor in the eyes of Inter fans and his colleagues including the administration of the team when he was talking with them and Juventus at the same time. That was an explosive emotional reaction from them and it could be understood.
Otherwise, Lukaku is successful in UEFA EURO Qualifiers 2024 with 10 goals scored making him the best scorer until now followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with 9 goals. In Serie A he was ranked fifth with five goals scored indeed.
Fitting in a club and not in another one is the problem that frequently found among players. No need to try to prove yourself in a team where you fail to adapt, that's what Romelu Lukaku did with Chelsea.

Lukaku didn't blend right into the way Chelsea fans desired. Also, being left footed affected him and it was same issues with Manchester United. A right footer would have been superb otherwise
Good he can now score and gain confidence.


Southgate is indeed lucky but he is not able to utilize the list of talented players before him rather he selects players into his line up with lots of bias. He remains a tactical poor coach.

During the FIFA World Cup Competition, he should have won that game against France to qualify for the finals but he screwed everything.
Let's head back to the Euros and he could have won the game before that penalty shoot out. I don't want to blame him more, you could talk for years and will see no change.

It's the reason i want Pep Guardiola to be managing that squad before they go for the next FIFA World Cup Competition, bit that would only be fantasies you know.

But even if England were able to bring in Pep Guardiola, that still wouldn't guarantee the win of trophies. I think when you compare the best few teams there are in Europe and in the world right now, it would always be a thrilling matchup. Whether it is Argentina vs. France or France vs. England or Spain vs. a team like Croatia or Brazil. There it is not always about one team being 2% better than the other. Moments decide games, a free kick, a penalty that may or may not have been awarded. The way to the final and then to win it is not only in the hands of the coach or the players, it also has to do with very little events during a game.

Agreed. Just like Harry Kane had a penalty to score to keep them on in the game against France during the FIFA World Cup but failed to do so. Pep Guardiola's a top notch manager in the world. This English players have qualities all they need is a sounds and tactical genius to lead the boys. Pep Guardiola would want it.

Arsenal passed their test against Manchester city although many people say Manchester were without key players like Rodry and Kevin but Arsenal themselves where without Saka and Martinelli was just coming back from injury so they definitely had to work hard for what they got.

Now Arsenal faces Chelsea who also has been coming back in form, I don't think it would be easy for Arsenal because Chelsea has now woken up and I think they have been playing well lately. Although if I was to bet on this my money would be on Arsenal.

I can't wait to see how they play against Chelsea. Arsenal is playing well this year and managed to get 3 points from critical matches. Chelsea, on the other hand, still could not reach the expected performance. When we look at the statistics, it is possible to say that Arsenal will win this match. I think the best option to bet on is Arsenal, I'm sure we will watch a good match Smiley

Kai Havertz to would be returning back to Stamford Bridge, I do hope he gets a warm welcome. He has been a big flop even with Arsenal.
Trying to boost his confidence, Arsenal players let him take the penalty in and game and he ended up scoring.
Personally, I will consider him and big scam, Chelsea benefited a big deal from his sake but hasn't done enough still.

Agreed! Arsenal wins with all due respect. Arsenal doesn't win and they'll both go home with a single point. Another safe option is to double chance Arsenal to either win or they should be winning either of the half.

When it comes to Newcastle there is a big potential in them to finish their group stage even as leader. Because we must have all watched how they demolished PSG not much time ago.  Grin  Despite Milan's high dominance in San Siro Newcastle managed to resist them and get that one point also.

Truthfully I think the matches against Dortmund will also go really well for Newcastle. I think they can get at least 4 points.

I think Newcastle will lose only once in Group F and that will be against PSG away.  Grin

At home Borrussia Dortmund have just won the game tonight, now they'll recover and go prepare for war against Newcastle United. They both look good but my verdict would be passed tommorow once Newcastle is done playing.
I'm not expecting a soft tie, a rough and hard one is mandatory, it'll be shameful to see  Borrussia Dortmund leaving for Europa League.

Since Dortmund will be away, I expect them to attack vigorously. They should be the first to score a goal if they take good use of whatever chances got.
I'll be excited only of they can go top of the group, Manchester United struggling so I'll be supporting the rest of the Premier League clubs present in the Champions League.

A great risk for Osimhen entering the Chelsea squad, IMO

I won't say that. That's the best environment for the growth of Victor Oshime, they need a young player like him. A cycle of young players.
That Chelsea squad would be awesome and great with his addition.
With Palmer behind Victor Oshime, Nkuku and the left wing and Raheem Sterling on the right, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo pairing behind Palmer, they'll be the best club in Europe. But is Pochetino still the man for the Job?

I've just read a new related to Julian Alvarez joining Real Madrid and that is no rumor the young Argentine is ready to make a move of they come to agreement with Manchester City.
Rodrygo has been dormant this season, he could be sent on loan, as Real Madrid expectse the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Julian Alvarez. Alvarez will make sense, I'd love to see that happening.

Lukaku has been unstoppable so far. He has 10 goals in 7 matches in the qualifiers. I mean he has a direct contribution to most of their goals. This performance is one of the main factors behind Belgium's having a really successful group stage. De Bruyne has been injured and he will be out for a long time as well.

I thought this would create some problems for Belgium when it comes to creativity and productivity. But Lukaku has made up for his absence really great so far. Do you think Belgium can be successful in Euro 2024 as well?

He struggled with Inter Milan, and Manchester United after Jose Mourinho left, I'm happy to see him buzzing scoring goals an having fun, not just with the National Team but with his club side.
He's been able to silence all of the critics but not all of them. It's good to have a highly and mentally strong coach by his side. The goals he's scored now has led to the rise of his price valuation.

I'd love to see Kevin De Bruyne back, they Belgium didn't do so well during the FIFA World Cup Competition, now it's time for redemption, they can make things up if they work together towards achieving this.
I can't predict that for them, they had it all and couldn't, if thry believe thry would, then they would.

Romelu Lukaku left Inter Milan last season after helping the Italian club to reach the UEFA Champions League final for the first time since 2010 that they defeated  Bayern Munich to win. After he returned to his parent club Chelsea, the Belgium striker wasn't getting offers from big European clubs despite all his footballing prowess at Inter Milan last season. It was AS Roma that later signed him on loan from Chelsea in the last days of the summer transfer window.
However, Lukaku has proven to be the driving force behind Belgium's qualification to the European championship as he's currently the top scorer in the Euro qualifiers. What a turnaround.


Lukaku refused playing for Chelsea not even that, he refused retuning for training sections with the club and said he will no longer play for them.
Same happened with Inter Milan, the fans rejected him and same goes to his friend and former teammate who he once defended on and off the pitch Laturo Martinez. In the time of struggle when Lukaku needed them support he had none.

Lukaku made silly mistakes on the field when playing for Inter Milan. Fans often criticize him. This is the pressure that makes him increasingly lose focus and performance. Inter Milan fans still believe that Lukaku is the one who blew away the chance to win the Champions League last season.
Lukaku to AS Roma. Lukaku is feeling happy and full of emotions when contributing to the club. The fans here respect him. But Lukaku is still an amateur actor who is afraid of flashing lights. A startled, clumsy, confused, indecisive Lukaku will still appear when pressure surrounds him.

Unfortunately Lukaku has made a bad name for himself. It`s not easy to go back when you`ve said or done things that annoy the fans, this is unfortunately what happens today.

Imagine that Rino Gattuso had his contract taken away because the fans couldn`t stand him, absurd things that happen when fans think with their gut and not with their head. Happen.


Romelu Lukaku though has scored good number of goals this season, it wouldn't be nice if he starts focusing on the past. So far, he has contributed firmly and had a good relationship with Paula Dybala.

I read a news of  a Monza player suspended for being positive to the test results of doppin just like Paul Pogba. What's with all these sad news.

The younger players infused into the first team by Allergri better take the chances they have seriously, they will never have that again if they joke with it. AC Milan now looks likely to win after all this absence. Juventus should still qualify for the Champions League next season after all these problems they have faced.

Chelsea vs Arsenal will end for the favour of Chelsea because, they are good in using home to challenge their opponent which they have proven it during their first game that made them to draw the game with Liverpool which they can still fall back to such tactics to frustrate Arsenal strength in this game. Arsenal will be the one looking for draw game which Chelsea will not allow it to happen than to use the right players to make the game difficult for Arsenal from the beginning to the end to achieve the winning goal 1:0 for the favour of Chelsea.


Sheffield united will cause what will make Manchester united president to draw out the sack letter to their coach soon because, Sheffield united are very good in using home advantage to achieve victory because they have good players that will block Manchester united strikers not to display well in tomorrow game. There will still be another victory for Liverpool because, they are ready to do more to win Everton in their home to make people to believed that their coach has got it right again because they really displayed well in last two season that made them to ended up in second position in the premier league.

Liverpool at the start of the season and Arsenal presently are not to be compared. Liverpool and Chelsea had it tough in the first two Premier League games, so winning amongst themselves didn't go as planned.
Arsenal against Chelsea tomorrow might end as a draw or in favor of Arsenal. Chelsea might have a good form at home but not against this Arsenal that completed a good test against Manchester City. Arsenal wins tomorrow.

Manchester United are soz focused on getting a good form back, they've seem improvement in the recent weeks as injury players are all returning to strengthen the squad.
Sheffield United are also strugglers, they will end up being relegated at the end of the season.

The opportunity for Messi to return to Catalan with Barcelona is still available, but not in the near future because he is still under contract with Inter Miami until December 2025. Choosing to return to play a season or two before retiring as a club legend is the right thing, I think Messi will be very welcomed by everyone at Barcelona. Maybe this could be the best option as a means to maintain balance in his game when his contract ends in MLS, of course the aim is to be able to appear in the upcoming 2026 World Cup with the Argentine national team.

I think Messi has everything to help Xavi even though he is no longer young, on the other hand Barcelona will get various benefits if Messi returns. We all remember Dani Alves returning to Barcelona, I think the scenario could happen again with Messi. So I think everything is very possible, even though at this time it is just initial speculation.
Speculation about Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona continues to be discussed, but for me it is not a desirable scenario. Lionel Messi's contract will end in year 2025 and if he plans to return to Barcelona in the following year it is much less likely. If he intends to play in the World Cup for his country then the most likely thing is for him to stay in MLS with an automatic contract extension and I believe this to be a much more likely scenario for him than returning to Barcelona.

Of course no one knows how the rest of Lionel Messi's career will go in the future, but I think Barcelona should think about other options compared to bringing Lionel Messi back to Camp Nou. The salary issue may be a consideration and Lionel Messi is unlikely to be willing to accept a small salary to return there, although that is just my assumption.

Lionel Messi wouldn't be returning to Barcelona, Barcelona President has already communicated this with the media. Lionel Messi told them about his plans and how he won't be returning to Barcelona and even if the return is possible, Barcelona are currently owing pending salaries to Frankie De Jong, they are yet to complete that. What's to be expected when Lionel Messi comes in this picture?

We've had talks about his return countless times, he should not return. Barcelona also should focus on working with the teenage talents they have.

Arsenal has been one of the best teams not only this season, but also last season and that makes it so interesting to see whether Arsenal is able to squeeze out a bit more out of this season and finally make it back into the circle of the strongest clubs also in the Champions League. They haven't had the best start though with their loss against Lens, but it doesn't mean they can't still become one of the best. Nothing is lost yet and if they do their job for the remaining games, I am looking forward to see them take on the challenges in the knock out games.

Arsenal will meet Sevilla in the near future. They did lose to Lens but in the match after that, Arsenal won against Man City. I think they've got pretty good confidence. Let's try to see the results of the match against Chelsea, if they get positive results it will be good mentally before facing Sevilla, which we know has managed to get consecutive draws in the Champions League. It would be quite surprising if Arsenal were also forced to draw in the next match.
whoever makes it to the knockout rounds, I think will have to compete tough. all teams in the group have the same chances. Selin PSV may have difficulty competing with other teams.
Since last season, Arsenal has been in great form and I can confidently vouch for them when it comes to the English premier League and other England cups, but I am not confident of Arsenal's performance in the European competitions. They have issues adapting and representing well in the European competitions. Take last season for instance, Arsenal was in good form but they were eliminated from the Europa League and this season also, it is possible that they can also be eliminated from the champions league while they are still doing very well in the English football.

I understand that European competitions is more of experience than form, which is why Real Madrid is always doing well in champions league even when they are not in good form. Also why Sevilla will always win the Europa League when they get to the finals.

Arsenal should have made history last season, winning the Premier League in them best season since the reign of Arsene Wenger and since the last time he won the Premier League. It's also lovely to have them back in the Champions League. They are big sides in the competition who have been robbed a couple of times though in this competition

I don't have too much to say about adapting, I only think they should give more focus towards winning the Premier League to Champions League. They don't have the squad to challenge for that Champions League.

Real Madrid have this aura whenever it gets to the Champions League and the same I can say with Sevilla whenever they play Europa League. Most important for gunners now, would be to get a win or draw against Sevilla at home.

I'm hoping Robert Lewandoski returns speedily for Barcelona, they have lacked and missed his presence there in attack.
Xavi seems to expect too much from Lewandowski so that when he is injured or absent he doesn't have many substitute players who can replace important positions in the front line, problems like this should have been thought about long ago so that there is no chaos if something undesirable happens, Lewandowski's absence might reduce Barcelona's performance and made their attacking power not too sharp.

I think Xavi might have to be able to manage this problem so that it doesn't harm Barcelona too much, of course if they lose points it will make their chances of winning the title in Laliga even more difficult, especially in the UCL, but they seem to also confirm that Lewandowski will recover in time to face El Clasico too later. , I hope your wishes come true

They suffered due to Injured players absence last season but came out stronger than I thought they would. This shouldn't be difficult, they lead games they should have won with much goals expected in the game with just a goal in that game. Yes I'm aware of the lacks they face when attacking but, managing the players Xavi Hernandez has present now would be his best bet. This should be clear enough to get a backup striker for Robert Lewandoski.

Manchester City player, world cup winner and Argentina international, Julian Alvarez has been linked with Barcelona as the ideal replacement for Robert Lewandoski. Can that be achieved during the transfer window? Julian seems like a good move to me. That's just me opinion though.

Managing the available players around is what he did last season. I'm thinking of a four man defense, four man midfielder's and two man attack when they go against Atletico Bilbao with Jaoa Felix and Ferran Torres leading the squad.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa in Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lose.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forrest in Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lose.

This mean there's no advantage for Chelsea to play in their home, the odds for Arsenal to win is high for @2.25, I don't see any reason to not bet Arsenal in this match when it's already clear Arsenal has 75% winning chance.
All our previous defeats was as a results of the blunders commited the players and a little error interms of formation from Mauricio Pochettino who's yet to comprehend and blend with his new players. We know how competitive the Blues are this season and I'm hoping to see them compete in top levels against elite teams. On the records, why are you bringing up the previous game history, Chelsea have surpassed their terrible form and are back to winning ways. It's crystal clear to see the Blues facing Gunners at Stamford Bridge this weekend. 
In football we cannot just do without records and history, if Chelsea was unable to win at home against two average or weak teams, is it against Arsenal that they will win? Borovichok you said about Chelsea player blunders and coach formation mistakes as the reason why Chelsea lost those two matches. The real question should now be if Chelsea have now learnt how not to make those blunders that leads to their losses?

Talking about Pochetino, I think he is the only coach of Chelsea in the recent time that had the opportunity to take Chelsea on a preseason tour. The case of Gramham Potter and Lampard, they were not opportune to take the team on preseason so they may claim that they are not used to the boys and not Pochetino.

If the coach handling Chelsea was Jose Mourinho, I would shut the fuck up! Even when in a very bad shape, Jose Mourinho knows how to find his way around. He's good with that and will end up playing mind games with Arsene Wenger. He has won games severely before the game kicks off with his mouth against Arsenal several occasions.

But right now, Jose Mourinho ain't present and Chelsea not good like they was with Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte. Man believe me or not, the least and best effort they'll get against Arsenal would be to share points for now let's say a double chance win for Mikel Arteta and his lads.

By the way, I just voted on the poll for Arsenal to win the league because i know after failure comes great success, they've lost anf know what it means, now I'm hopeful they win the Premier League Competition.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq is set to officially sign free agent Jesse Lingard:
Lingard, who has also been linked with La Liga outfit Osasuna since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, also had a successful loan spell with West Ham in 2021, but Al-Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has taken an interest in it and wants a permanent move for him to Al-Ettifaq.
Jesse Lingard has very good goal-scoring status from a performance point of view; he scored 35 goals in 232 appearances and has also been capped 32 times by England. He was also part of Gareth Southgate's squad, which made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia in 2018. He has very good goal-scoring ability at Manchester United, but after leaving Manchester United, his goal-scoring ability has a little bit reduced, not like at a higher standard. But anyway, Steven Gerrard has managed to bring out his best form for Al-Ettifaq.
What did you guys think? Give us your thoughts.
Source

Jesse Lingard didn't have all of the best times he'd want at Manchester United especially his last seasons, but he had a good loan move to West Ham. He should have been allowed to stay there for his own good and game time, but Manchester United didn't get to see that happening. I feel like he was robbed off that opportunity by Manchester United.

Half loan spell with West Ham and he was having the season of his life, scoring and helping David Moyes and the hammers achieving a great time together. He shouldn't have returned to Manchester United.
I never knew about him leaving for Saudi Arabian Premier League when exactly? I hope Gerrard's doing a good job? He failed as a manager managing Aston Villa.

Most England ex-players going for coaching career and jobs are very poor, the likes of Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Phil Neville and lots more.

Bellingham effect is really hard to deny of course. He has been playing extra since the beginning of the season. He is the main scorer of the team now.
Jude Bellingham is one of the best footballers in the world, and Real Madrid are lucky to have him, if they are to be successful this season, he'll definitely play a huge part in it. Having said that, i think it is still too early to conclude if Real Madrid are a better team with Benzema in it last season than they are now, i know they weren't really successful last season, they could only win the Copa del rey, but they have also not won anything this season yet.

Having said that, i think if Real Madrid don't get a striker in January, it might affect them when the season gets to its closing stages and every game becomes extra important, they are getting the goals now, but a time might come when they need an orthodox striker to get the job jone, i just think so, even though Jude Bellingham and his teammates could very well prove me wrong.

Incredible talent. Now weeks goes by and he comes in helping Both England and Real Madrid attain them sole mission. He should be one of the best younger players under the law of who?
Real Madrid did better with Karim Benzema season before last but last, he wasn't available due to Injury. I will say they remain a better side in the Spanish league and Champions League.

Failure to get the signature and fba striker done would lead to judgement. Joselu remains a Real Madrid player with five goals in the league but no so sure how he'll lead those players into winning the La Liga with how he stays

Manchester City is obviously the stronger team and having a good form, it’s not surprising they’re the favorites to win the game. And I’ve got little doubts they would go ahead to win the game.
If it were perhaps, Manchester United or Chelsea playing against Brighton, I might have been tilting towards Brighton winning the game.
Manchester City, playing on familiar home ground would likely go all out to ensure they get a big win and the three points at the end. I see Manchester City scoring a minimum of two goals.
Roberto De Zerbi is a competitive coach that's keen on fighting with elite managers in EPL this season, not in combat but on the pitch with instructive winning strategies. Manchester hosting Brighton & Hove Albion at Etihad Stadium, is it a game that we that belong to the category of gamblers ought to be worry about? Ofcourse not because the Citizens have some important players that would make returns to the club and feature for this weekend match. Rodri is fully back to training and would explore more to support his team when they need him.

So much struggles he has faced just this season, right before the international break, draw during the Europa League Competition and same repeated against Liverpool at home.
We have to admit that haven't had it easy going this season.
Rodri's return will support the midfielder's and Bernado Silva must habe improved immensely after he returned and played badly for Manchester City against Arsenal.

Brightons chances of winning this game slim, everybody placing those tickets on bigger clubs I hope they do not get them disappointed.
Pep Guardiola should knock some sense into Erling Haaland, he needs to start scoring goals.

That's interesting! I don't think it's likely that CR7 Jr will play with his father as he's now 38 and his son is 13 - maybe by the time his son is 18 his father will have retired.
Many players make their debut  before 18, some as early as 16 or 15. If he impresses and shows promising talent, he can start playing professional football in the next 2-3 years for a decent team.

Can his father play for 2-3 more years? He is in great shape and is still playing at a high level. He possibly can play for the next couple of years at a less demanding league (like the one he is playing at).

But even if they both are still playing football at the same time, facing each other or playing for the same team is not assured.

But it's very rare for a 16-year-old to make the professional squad, I'm not sure Ronaldo's son will make it that quickly.
He needs to be able to adapt for a longer period of time and the appropriate age might be 20 with a good build.

All I know is that Ronaldo's dream of playing until the 2026 World Cup means that by then Ronaldo will be 41 years old, already quite old although still excellent at the top level it seems that his career will end soon and playing with his son is still very small to happen.

At least now Ronaldo can still keep an eye on his son in the same team, with direct monitoring.

He has the best teacher, mentor and motivator and motivation from his father Cristiano Ronaldo. He could make it to the Professional squad and finally train with his father before retirement.
If you have watched him play it does looks like he will be ready in a seasons ahead.

Age has nothing to do with his desire to play the next FIFA World Cup Competition. He didn't have nice I hope he does in the next four years.

He wants to watch him closely, one club I'm sure Ronaldo Jr ain't going and joining is Manchester United. That club is a disastrous one.

I am also very sure that if Mbappe goes to La Liga, he will stay at Real Madrid, not Barcelona. I once read the news about his dream club that he wants to play for is Real Madrid, not Barcelona at all. Mbappe is an extraordinary player, and he has been so often rumored to be going to Real Madrid according to expectations. However, it is PSG who still object to this. So, this seems like a very small possibility if Mbappe suddenly turns to Barcelona.

On the other hand, maybe the match that will be exciting is Nice vs Marseille. Nice has proven that its performance progress so far is beyond expectations, and is runner-up in the French League. His consistency is quite good in every match. On the other hand, sometimes Marseille also puts quite strong pressure on the opposing players. So, it gets a little more interesting later on. Yes, even though the French League is not like other leagues where the competition is very tough, at least for now, PSG's dominance is not as strong and strong as before.



Real Madrid is the best fit for Kylian Mbappe. Besides, Barcelona has players in that same position as Kylian Mbappe they won't want his services. Jaoa Felix is a good winger and fits up for that position quite well.
He should have joined last season but plans didn't go as plan, always, you'll have to plan for that plan that's not part of the plans.
Turning to Barcelona might be possible but still not in this case.

Gennaro Gattuso would be managing his first game in League One, after all round failures. I want to see him finally successfull with his job with Marseille. I'm hoping he gets better with his tactics.

Manchester City - Brighton

This is the match I am most excited to watch this weekend. On paper it looks to be an easy victory for the cityzens. They are playing at home and have turned that into a mini fortress where they almost always win. Recent defeats to Arsenal and Wolves were away from home.
They have also lost 2 straight games and will not be looking to lose a third game in a row.

Statistics also favor City to win. They have won all except two of all meetings between both sides, losing one and only one being a draw.

Manchester City, playing on familiar home ground would likely go all out to ensure they get a big win and the three points at the end. I see Manchester City scoring a minimum of two goals.

Home advantage for Manchester City makes perfect sense to grab all the three points but considering they have struggled within the last three fixtures, I can't go fully placing my bets on Manchester City to win over Brighton.
Brighton are also another dead woods this season unlike last season. They have struggled both in the Europa League Competition and that of the Premier League. This is just a start and I'm predicting they'll go down low more.

Erling Haaland has been my major concerns all over these games lost, he has failed to score a single goal and same goal drought was moved up to the international duties where he also failed to score against Spain. Can he do same now when they face Brighton?
