I doubt if Arsenal have the potential to win against Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea.
Arsenal can not win EPL, it is not possible at all. I have known Arsenal for one thing which I have also continued to say since the begining of this season, that Arsenal is off and on. I only predict just three club to win EPL this season and those are the clubs you also predicted, but I will really like Chelsea to win.

I guess we'll have to wait until the very last match to see which team will be the champions this season. Although Chelsea are now at the top of the points table, they are three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. However, if Chelsea loses points in a match, they will lose their position in the points table.

As it stands in the premier league table,Chelsea are really inform, but the club I am pretty much excited about is Arsenal,because the way they started the season,I actually thought they will go for religation,but to my greatest surprise,they might even contend for that tittle with the likes of Chelsea,Mancity,And Liverpool. Who are currently ahead of them.
the competition was fierce, at the beginning of the season arsenal was slaughtered by a strong team, with a fairly large score, so there was a lot of criticism from everyone, from fans, to the president of their own club, but now the rise of arsenal has made everyone happy, I hope Arsenal stay consistent until the end of the season.
Mikel Arteta did a great job bouncing back from the bottom. At the start of the season many concluded they were set for relegation but at some point the game changed from the bottom to 5th position on the table. Currently the league is becoming so intense and predicting who wins the premier league is becoming more difficult even as Chelsea top the table.

Although it is difficult to predict who will win the Premier League, Arsenal will not win. First of all, they do not have a strong squad to win the title. There is a lot of competition on platforms like the Premier League. Winning the title will depend on the strength and performance against the title expected teams. I doubt if Arsenal have the potential to win against Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea.

The West Indies women's team and the Pakistan women's team have another ODI match today. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl. Many have put Pakshithan ahead in this series. I don't see any possibility of watching the series without improving their batting. In the previous match, they lost only because of weak and irregular batting. Batsmen must play better in this match if they want to win.

Maybe Freiburg are having a solid season too but it seems like Dortmund are the only team that can hold Bayern Munich back from winning the title again this season. Because they have the second best lineup quality among the rest of the teams in the Bundesliga. Of course, the lineup is not everything all the time. But to dethrone a dominator like Bayern Munich, you need to have a solid lineup. Even it might not be enough for succeeding in this.  Grin

You are right. Dortmund are great as a team this season. And they are in form. But let us not forget that the team is much more dependent on Haaland. They must reduce this dependence. In the last match, they lost 2-1 to Leipzig. Haaland was not in the squad due to injury. They should make Haaland's replacement players. Then their performance will be further improved.

Interestingly, there is only one team that have guaranteed promoting to the 1/8-finals now. And it is Lyon as they won all of their four matches and their nearest opponent has 4 only points. There is no other team that have guaranteed to qualify for this round or the 1/16-finals. Considering there are two match weeks left, this means that the competition will be at a high level.

Lyon's Europa League performance impressed me. They are playing very well. More important than the fact that they have won 4 matches, they have dominated and won in 4 matches. They have scored 12 goals in 4 matches. On average, they have scored 3 goals in each match. Which was really awesome and every match was very enjoyable.

In the round 5, Chelsea are going to host Juventus in Stamford Bridge. This will be an important game as it can determine the leader also. Juventus already won all of their group games so far and guaranteed qualifying for the next round too. Maybe Chelsea haven't guaranteed it mathematically yet but they are already 6 points ahead of Zenit. There must be a miracle for Zenit to get past Chelsea from now on.  Grin  In Stamford Bridge, I'm favoring Chelsea. I think it is revenge time.

Chelsea will win this match. All the teams are strong in their own field. Moreover, Chelsea is still a strong enough team. Their coach Tuchel is experienced enough. The previous match they lost was unfortunately against Juventus. If you enjoyed the match, you will see that Chelsea played great, yet they lost.

Both team equal in quality and have same issues both were very good in last season but currently struggling specially Lille are very poor in League even having some better record in Champions League but very badly struggling in French League on other side Monaco is some better as their current home record is good if they are able to win this match then surely they are going more high with good confidence they are top in their Europa League group but still need some good performance for qualifying into next round but having some better spot in French League need very good work because their current rank and form both have nothing good for having good spot for this year's end.
Monaco and Lille are both good teams. But at the moment they are fighting to get back to form. Their position is now 11th and 12th in the points table. Lille was at the top of the points table the previous season and Monaco was the third team. So this match is very important for both the teams now. The team that wins will have no chance of making it to the top 5 of the points table, I don't think the losing team will improve this season.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl. As we have seen in the group stage of the World Cup, the team that bowled earlier got the most advantage, and the team that batted later won most of the matches. Will we see the same thing in today's match? Can the New Zealand team win? Although England looks stronger than the team. I think England will win.

I think the outcome of the match depends on the performance of the first 6 overs of the power play. If the England team does not lose any wicket in the first 6 overs and can collect a good run of the power play, then England has a good chance to win the match. Since they got the chance to bat first. With a target of less than 160, it will be very difficult to win this match. England's goal should be to score at least 180 or more than 200.

Some results were quite surprising last weekend, Roma were quite good at the start of the season at that time with high enthusiasm because they were coached by Mourinho but in fact, I felt again where Mou had really lost and was different from the nickname "the special one" that had been it bears. Also, the draw that Napoli got really didn't occur to me that Verona was able to hold off Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. With a result like this I personally conclude that Milan is very likely to get the title this season, I hope Milan this time will be able to achieve that feat with the squad and conditions as it is now, maybe.
Actually, I have always predicted that Roma will never be consistent until the end of the season, because I have studied all of Jose Mourinho's tactics, from him coaching Porto, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Tottenham and now being Roma coach, Jose Mourinho's heyday is over, I very sure roma will not be able to get a ticket to the champions league..

Only a coach can not perform well with a team. Experienced and talented players are also needed. The expected success comes only when the combination of players and experienced coaches is good. I also think Roma will not be able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Because there are many teams in Serie A who have better and more experienced squads than Roma.

I agree that Man United's defense is very fragile and makes mistakes a lot. I also don't see Harry Maguire making a good contribution to
Man United since he was bought for a very high price. And Maguire's selection of captaincy is questionable, because I don't see Maguire can
motivating Man United players. I agree that Man United should get rid of Maguire and buy a better defender. But the most important thing is
that Man United must immediately find a replacement for Solskjaer. because some Man United players have reportedly lost faith
in Solskjaer. If left like that, Man United players will not be able to bring out their best abilities. And if Man United decides to keep Solskjaer,
there is a possibility that Man United will fail to enter the top 4 to be able to play in the Champions League next season.

Ole should now focus on how to strengthen his defense without thinking ahead. Manchester United are lagging behind in every match only because of weak defense. It was a shame to concede 5 goals against Liverpool. When players concede 2 or 3 goals, they lose the mentality to counter-attack. And so they have to stay mentally strong and strengthen Ole's defense. He can use defensive match tactics.

I was checking the scoreboard of today's cricket matches, an ODI match of Zimbabwe women's team and Bangladesh women's team is being held. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl. Zimbabwe lost all their wickets for just 48 runs. Bangladesh went down to bat and they scored 7 runs in the first over. The players of the women's team and under-19 team are more talented than the Bangladesh men's team.

I thought I would enjoy the match. But the match was over before I had finished my work. The performance of the Bangladesh women's team must be appreciated. The performance of the bowlers was very good. Salma, Rahima and Nahida each took 3 wickets. Bangladesh lost 2 wickets in 10.4 overs and reached the target.

In women's cricket, Pakistan is still far behind. They have lost by 45 runs against West Indies. The West Indies team cannot perform well on a regular basis. The West Indies lost the series 4-1 against South Africa. Now they are playing well enough against Pakistan. The previous series against Pakistan was won by West Indies 3-2. My guess is that West Indies will win this series 3-2 again.
@kro55 I believe in time Pakistan’s women team too will perform well, because no one expected their male counterparts to do so well in the current tournament and yet they performed so well, hence let’s not underestimate this Pakistan’s women team. Also WI women team does have the psychological advantage going in the second ODI, however if they play with over confidence then I feel they’ll be beaten by the Pakistan team.

I am not underestimating the Pakistan team. And I would be happy if they can beat the West Indies in this series. However, Pakistan has not won any series this year. Pakistan lost to South Africa. However, Pakistan's batsmen need to bat more responsibly if they want to beat the West Indies. Let's see how Pakistan performs in the upcoming matches.

Recently few concerns already rising from many sides about work load in English Premier League which is hurting teams very badly, but they are not listening if they are able to have some less work load than surely these teams can do much better in local and European Leagues.
They have the advantage of not playing in Europe. They're starting to improve this season. But last season I didn't consider them to be the EPL's top 5 candidates. Although I didn't read much about their transfer activities at the start of the season it seems that Arteta managed to take advantage of opportunities with available players. There didn't seem to be many stars present. They slowly start to improve, their mentality starts to improve.  Because I know that there are still some great players at Arsenal at the moment.

Arsenal have done so well this season because they have only focused on the Premier League. But other teams' Champions League and Europa League matches also have to be taken seriously. The players get no rest. However, Arsenal have plenty of time to rest, adjust their match strategy and improve their performance. This is the only reason their performance is improving, at the same time Arteta is doing well .

The BCCI doesn't allow Indian players to participate in franchise cricket leagues around the world, which limits their exposure in a big way. On the other hand, Pakistani cricketers play in various leagues all around the world, and as a result they are familiar with the ground conditions and weather. But at least a part of the problem lies with the Indian selection policy. Kohli and the coach went for unfit players like Hardik instead of more deserving players, because they want to include their proxies in the playing XI.

The Indian players were already familiar with the pitch of the World Cup. They have performed on such pitches many times before. So even if BCCI does not give players a chance to play in other franchises, it should not be a problem. However, their performance in the first two matches was disappointing. The opponent in the last 3 matches was very weak. India had to win one of the first two matches to reach the semi-finals. But they failed. We returned to the form of batsmen through the match in Afghanistan. But by then they had lost the qualification to qualify for the semi-finals.

India must win today against Scotland. Either way they will win. We have seen the match between Afghanistan and India. Many say the match has been fixed. India needs a win, moreover, the players have returned to form through the match against Afghanistan. If India gets a chance to bat first against Scotland, they will give more than 180 targets. Namibia, on the other hand, had a great performance against Pakistan. They will fight against New Zealand in today's match too. The match will not be easy for New Zealand.
Scotland is the same team that went down by a massive margin of 130 runs against Afghanistan (25th October). Their players don't participate in the IPL or the other franchise T20 leagues around the world and therefore we can't expect them to have the necessary experience in playing against big sides. And the Indian team always perform their best against minnows like Namibia and Scotland (although against stronger sides it is a different story). If India is batting first, then I expect them to win by >100 runs.

I agree with you too. If India bat first, they will win by more than 100 runs. They have this ability. My guess is that in today's match, India will get a chance to bat first, even if Scotland wins the toss, they will decide to bowl first. India will bat first, and if their luck is good, India will give a huge target of more than 210 runs and Scotland will lose all their wickets before 100 runs. Lets see what will happen.

Laporta's decision to choose Xavi is a very smart decision..
But can Xavi to manage Barcelona this season? I heard that the current club managed by Xavi, didn't allow him to move to Barcelona. In my opinion, Xavi may spend his time in his current club this season, he will move to Barcelona after this season is over. He has a contract, he must obey his contract as a professional coach.
I think possible Barcelna get Xavi sign's but they have pay with higher value for Al Sad as last current club for Xavi, how ever  Barcelona still faced problem with financial and I think will Barcelona want pay more to get Xavi? Will Barcelona want to get Xavi as free transfer and hope Al Sad have agreement to cut Xavi contract still left two years later.

Barcelona have financial problems, yet they have now fired Koeman. This means they are now ready to spend the extra money. Now they want to stabilize the team again. If Barcelona can't afford the new coach's wages, then maybe they will take a loan from the bank again. Half of this season is over, and Barcelona don’t seem to have the dream of winning the title this season. Their plan will be to do better next season.

Two predictable (and possibly lop-sided matches today). First one is between Namibia and New Zealand and the second one is between Scotland and India. I am not expecting any upsets. But if there are any, then the losing team will be kicked out of the tournament. And both the minnows are in good form. Scotland gave a major scare to New Zealand in their last match, while Namibia fought valiantly against Pakistan on 2nd November. It is T20 format, and therefore these big-4 teams can't completely ignore the challenge.
India must win today against Scotland. Either way they will win. We have seen the match between Afghanistan and India. Many say the match has been fixed.

The Tottenham press service announced the appointment of Antonio Conte as the club's head coach.
The contract with the Italian specialist was signed until the summer of 2023 with an extension for one more season.
I am surprised why Conte prefers to sign as Tottenham head coach. Man United management should contact him already and be serious to sign him as their coach. Also, if we consider the players' quality, Man United players seem better than Tottenham players. But we don't know what Tottenham management offers to Conte. Maybe it is more interesting than Man United management offers.
Actually Man United never contacted Conte to take over Man United as their manager. Ferguson and others decided to give Ole one chance in their match against Tottenham and he proved himself so they never really contacted Conte. On other hand, Spurs sacked their coach Nuno but it was hard thing to convince Conte for the Spurs job but Patrici convinced Conte with the ideas and plans they have. Its not the money thing actually for the managers, its the ideas and plans which is much bigger factor for manager to choose a job IMO.

I think United made a mistake over here. Conte could have done a better job than Ole with United. But whatsoever, Conte seems like a good fit for Spurs. He has a reputation to make average teams look far better. So I think if he can utilize Son and Kane well enough, they will be compatible once again for the top 4 spots and maybe EPL will get more competitive.

Dortmund - Ajax game last night was another disappointment for the Dortmund side unfortunately. Hummels was shown a red card in the 29th minute and very tough minutes started for Dortmund after that. But surprisingly, they still managed to get ahead by the Reus' penalty goal in only 8 minutes. And they kept the score at 1-0 for a really long time too. But still, Ajax scored three goals in the last 20 minutes and won the game by 3-1. After this result, Ajax have guaranteed qualifying for the next round. Dortmund are still in danger as they have the same points as Sporting in the group now (6 pts).

That red card was the turning point of the game in my opinion. Hummels is a very important player in Dortmund's defense. His getting the red card and Dortmund being 10 men cost them the match. I was expecting them to win the game, maybe they would have as well if the red card didn't take place. Dortmund was able to somewhat hold Ajax off but they collapsed at the end. Dortmund will really need to win the next couple of matches in order to qualify.
