Everton is seriously on fire at the moment as they have now a first winning streak this season and they did not concede any goals the last three games, which is quite impressive given that they have played against Newcastle and Chelsea. If they can maintain that form I think they don't have to fear relegation zone in a few weeks from now. I am not sure what they did and what they changed, but this is crazy. However, the times that any team will underestimate Everton are probably over now.
It is true, Everton has been improved their performance a lot. They succeed to win the match 3 times in a row lately. They even could beat Newcastle with 3 goals, they also destroy Chelsea with 2 goals. In these 2 last matches, they never got a conceded goal. This makes Everton is moving a way from relegation zone. Now, they have 14 points difference from Luton Town in the relegation zone. If Everton can maintain this good performance, they will be safe to continue in EPL competition for the next season. Sure, no team can underestimate them anymore because they prove that they can beat big team in EPL.



It is always hard to understand why a team that has had so many issues during the early season out of a sudden is so strong that they can beat anyone.

Newcastle is having quite a bad time at the moment and I think it is quite bad if they are behind Manchester United, which also has problems over problems. Many of the top teams had some unexpected troubles and I think this is most obvious for Manchester City. I would have never thought that they would not be able to win a game for like four games in a row. And it was shocking to see that against Luton Town they were also struggling. I think Guardiola was experiencing a nightmare until his team finally scored goals.

Do you know that Lyon finally got their second win in the match against Touluse? Lyon even won in a landslide with a score of 3-0 without reply. As a team that is still having difficulty getting more points until now, it feels like this could be a turning point for Lyon in the future. We still don't know what position Lyon will be in this season and it is possible that if they continue to consistently win they will get out of the relegation zone more quickly.

Apart from that, Touluse usually appear quite convincing, but this time they failed to win and this result makes Touluse one of the teams that has not played in the last five matches. Touluse's position was also not very good because several other teams below them, including Lyon, also had the opportunity to throw them into the red zone.

Toulouse was not performing well at all in this match against Lyon because I think Lyon is not a strong team and losing the game against a team like Lyon is not something we can usually see.
Finally, Lyon won a game after all the points they lost during this season but wining this game against Toulouse can't make chances for them yet.


But those three points are definitely helping to keep them afloat. This was they are still in distance of the other teams and it could turn quickly in their favor if they can being a streak of some successful games. Most importantly they have to stop losing obviously, but since some of the other teams also play a messy season, nothing is lost yet. But it is only playing against relegation for them as their isn't anything to be won for them this season.

PSG did their job, but I thought they would be more dominant against Nantes and keep them away from their own goal more effectively. But Nantes had their chances, too.

I agree that failure to qualify for the round of 16 or into the Europa League would be the end for Ten Hag. United need different leadership, someone who is smart and more charismatic to create a warmer dressing room environment without any bickering.
Whilst i agree that Erik Ten Hag would be fired sooner or later, i don't think he'd be sacked during the season, maybe at the end of the season. The hierarchy at United would know that sacking Ten Hag mid season wouldn't really help the team, but it would completely flatten the team, and they'll not even have enough time to find the right manager.

Ten Hag has been so poor in handling the dressing room, he has a problem with player management and i don't even know what his footballing philosophies are, he is an average manager at best and he'd prolly go in the summer.
I think it's not easy because until now the fans are not calling for the hashtag #tenhagout and as far as I can see Manchester United management still really believes in his job as coach. Maybe there is some truth in what you said, if the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag in the middle of the season will make the existing situation worse, unless management has prepared a replacement who is much more experienced and also very credible, that's not a problem.

Erik ten Hag is nothing special and perhaps from the start the Red Devils fans had too high expectations of him and for fans of other clubs this coach was probably only in the class of a mid-table team coach. Apart from all that, this season's Champions League doesn't leave the slightest hope for Manchester United to qualify and I think everyone knows that, so changes here are probably not really needed.

One issue might be that Manchester United doesn't know who could fill the gap if they fire ten Hag and I think there is some truth to that as not that many great coaches are available at the moment I believe. However, I don't really like when clubs wait too long until everything turned into a mess and then hand it over to a new coach who has to start from scratch and even without the Champions League qualification in a worst case. I don't know what they are waiting for, but the loss against Bournemouth at Old Trafford was a torture for every Manchester United fan. Yet ten Hag is still around and I am sure there are lots of people wondering about that.

Everton continue third winning matches in a row from Chelsea, its second time in a row Everton success winning on home match after beating Chelsea and last match success won against Newcastle United. Second half become moment for Everton made two goals trough Abdoulaye Doucoure and one other goal from Lewis Dobbin. Chelsea got second loss in a row after last match before losing from Manchester United and against Everton they can't recovery to winning performed.

Everton have very quit well performance after 10 points deduction due financial rule and success out from relegation zone, its not get 10 points deduction current standings of Everton will be on 10th position. Have good performance although with internal problem and many points deduction not make Everton give up but more motivate how to out from relegation zone, 9 additional points make Everton success raised to 17th standings and have 1 points left from above teams Nott Forest.
Everton have kept a good record this season in their games, they've been able to ensure that they just don't embrace losses. They're a good side and I'm confident to say that they deserve the win against Chelsea this evening based on different grounds.
First, Chelsea were the visitors and normally they've always had issues getting victories away from home even being at home too. Also they've not been at their form, they've been performing below average this season and it's crazy because there's not even an advancement on the league table.

 The season is getting heated for them and their performance rate is declining. Also they didn't go into the game with confidence because of their last encounter with United which also ended in a loss for them, Everton was clearly the better side today, Chelsea didn't even try to put efforts to getting a win or a draw. The team generally has an unfound predicament and situation is getting critical for them because everyone has literally lost hope and confidence in them. It's only soothing to note that they won't be relegated, but they still don't have a gleam of hope trying to decipher their way through to the top 4 of the EPL table.

Everton is seriously on fire at the moment as they have now a first winning streak this season and they did not concede any goals the last three games, which is quite impressive given that they have played against Newcastle and Chelsea. If they can maintain that form I think they don't have to fear relegation zone in a few weeks from now. I am not sure what they did and what they changed, but this is crazy.

I don't know what Harry Maguire has experienced this season until he finally won the EPL best player award for November. This was a turning point for Harry Maguire, who last season was ridiculed, criticized, and even had his career threatened at Manchester United because of a serious blunder he made.

However, he never gave up and was able to prove to his coach and colleagues that he still deserved to be in the Red Devils squad. He has also had competition to get starters and he has also managed to get rid of Raphael Varane in terms of defense. Well, great job Harry Maguire and I hope he can be more stable in helping Manchester United's defense this season.

Maguire sometimes has good performances and because of the good performances he has, Maguire stays in Mancshtyer United, otherwise and because of the mistakes he made and even after all the experience Maguire has in Mancshter United the fans of this team don't want to see Maguire stay in Manchester United and that's why they usually want him to leave even if he get achievements like best palyer award in the premier league.

Maguire sudden resurgence from his usual abysmal performances this season could be attributed his improve hardwork and doggedness on the field when playing for Man Utd which earned the EPL best player award in November, recall he was in the verge of joining West Ham in the last transfer window after he suffered several criticism from man Utd fans due to some of his costly mistakes that often lead to goals against his club last season  instead he stayed in Man Utd to fight for shirt in the squad of defenders which include Martinez, Varane, Evans and Lindelof and it's obvious it's a well deserve award because he had been very solid for Man Utd at the defense though Onana had been responsible for most of the goals Man Utd conceded.

This merit is actually for Maguire and also for you describing correctly where he is coming from and how impressive it is what he has achieved given the pressure he had to face over all those months. No joke, but I think that this was inconceivable for anyone who was following him over the last 12 months or so when his performances declined further and further and he lost the support from the coach as well.

But somehow these stories are valuable because it can be a lesson for everyone facing hard times. Everyone told him to leave the club because his career would be over if he decided to stay. There he goes, player of the month in the EPL. Well done!

It is still a big step to go from the top of a domestic league like La Liga to the next level in the Champions League. And we have a good example for that, which is Newcastle United. They are playing in an even stronger domestic league and they did play very well last season in the Premier League and yet it doesn't mean that it is also time for them to be dominant in Europe. Can Girona take the next step? Yes I think so and considering who is backing Girona, it is possible that investments will follow if they qualify for the Champions League. But I would not expect an outstanding first Champions League season for them. It is more like acclimatization to the new environment and then get going better and better over time in the coming years.
Exactly, the Champions League competition will be a big competition for them, but as a team with ambition to grow higher, I think they will keep improving to meetup to the Champions League standard just as Newcastle United is struggling. But I just hope they will not go down like Union Berlin who also make a great effort in the Bundesliga last season to make it to Champions League but this season, there performance is very poor both in Champions League and in their domestic League Bundesliga.

I see what you mean but Union Berlin can't be compared to Girona as Girona has a corporate structure of investors backing it. I don't know much about Union Berlin, but I have never heard about anything that could be similar to what Girona can rely on. Money won't be a problem for Girona and access to other resources like players and coaches won't be a problem either as they can provide highly attractive conditions. But I think Girona is still like a start up that is about to skyrocket. It's good to see new teams bring about some action for all other teams that were established at the top for such a long time.

No doubt that De Gea had an outstanding career, but what I disliked about him in the maybe last two years or so is that he became more and more prone to errors during the game. He was rock solid for a long time, but the number of mistakes gradually increased and it felt as sometimes his own defense doesn't trust him. The full story though would be that he also couldn't trust his own defense either, which made it mutually complicated among the players responsible for defending their own goal. I didn't like how ten Hag treated him in the end because that was dishonorable, but I am not so sure whether other first class clubs would still take him.
The once coordinated Manchester United have turn out to become one of the challenging club in EPL this season. Manchester united have lost quite important players this season and it's unimportant for the standard level of such a club to withheld poor performance in matches. The presence of Erik Ten Hag in Manchester United have ruined things for the club. Due to his ignorant actions in Old Trafford and him having issued with players is probably not we wants at the moment. David de Gea have served Manchester United all these years and leaving in a total dishonor.

They have lost quite important players, maybe yes, but they still have a squad that under the management of a great coach should be able to compete for the top ranks in the table. This is totally unsatisfactory and asserting that they lack quality players is not fully correct in my opinion. They have also been investing enough money and signed a number of players that raised the competition within the team and should have been sufficient to not be as bad as they are right now.

The very least goal should have been to pass the group stage in the Champions League and Manchester United was strong enough to beat Copenhagen and Galatasaray, but now they are in dire straits.

Apart from Saudi Arabian teams, only Real Madrid will be able to offer such big to satisfy PSG and Mbappe’s will because it is very expensive and PSG is not willing to let him go at lost even though he helped the team win several League titles alongside other respective players that left the club during the transfer summer.

Mbappe wants competition and challenge, he is a player that have great future ahead of him and a player that can win individual trophies if he plays in teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and other top European teams unlike PSG, that’s why he is keen to leave the club and he dose not want to join Saudi Pro League.
If Madrid sign him at the end of the season, it will be a great achievement for both him and the club, because playing Mbappe and Bellingham with Vinicius and others will boost the squad's confidence and help them win titles because they will be the best team in the world.


I highly doubt that this is correct. There are a couple of teams wealthy enough or soon to be wealthy enough to afford Mbappe. It is still not necessarily about the highest bidder. I think it does depend on what Mbappe envisions for himself while making a ton of money of course. But Real Madrid, Manchester City and also Liverpool if they sell Salah, these clubs could be financially strong enough to cope with an Mbappe deal both in terms of the transfer fee and also the salary. But yes there are not a lot of clubs that can do this. After all, PSG is still part of the "raffle".

Girona's quality may only be good for La Liga and to measure how well they can manage their busy competition schedule they will have to try to get a place in the champions league next season. I agree that every team must have reserve players who are as good as the main players and that is what Real Madrid and Barcelona currently have, so however, Girona, with the depth of their current squad, I don't think can match these two teams in the title race. Being able to finish in the top 4 is a very realistic thing for them.
Girona's team has the potential to compete in leagues other than Laliga. They are simply a team that has transformed from a small to an average team; their performance this season reveals a lot about the team's transformation, and with the number of matches they have won in all competitions, I believe they can represent Laliga even in the Champions League; experience will be their limit, but they will do well because they have quality.

Squad depth will only have an impact on the team because not only injuries but also fatigue will have an impact on their performance, which is why Real Madrid and Barcelona will finish ahead of them in the Laliga title race this season, but there is assurance that they will make it to the Champions League next season if they maintain their consistency.


It is still a big step to go from the top of a domestic league like La Liga to the next level in the Champions League. And we have a good example for that, which is Newcastle United.

Few hours left have several Premier League matches from

  • Sheffield vs Liverpool
  • Fulham vs Nott Forest
  • Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
  • Brighton vs Brentford
  • Man United vs Chelsea
  • Aston Villa vs Man City

Liverpool must take three points away match against Sheffield after Arsenal won last night and they have 5 points left, not much problem get three points for Liverpool. I think have interested match between Manchester United vs Chelsea, Erik ten Hag under pressure right now after several bad matches result and have speculation more than 50% of Manchester United players want ten Hag sack from his position.

By the way, it seems I am more interested in the Aston Villa v Manchester City match, because at this moment Aston Villa and Manchester City only have a gap of 1 point. Also, so far this season Aston Villa is completely unbeaten in home matches, while Manchester City so far have 1 draw and 2 losses in away matches. Therefore, I think that even though Manchester City is still the favorite team to win this match, I think it will not be easy to beat Aston Villa in this match. Because yes, at least Aston Villa is on fire at this moment, while Manchester City seems to be experiencing a slight decline in performance. Therefore, I think this match will remain an interesting match besides the match between Manchester United v Chelsea.

Indeed a huge game that I am looking forward to, I only fear that I get disappointed if Aston Villa doesn't deliver. From the looks of it they should be able to stand up to Manchester City and fire back! Their home game record is flawless! 6 games, 6 wins, 23:5 goals. If they can't give Manchester City a really hard time, then who can? I know that Tottenham recently did and that was great to see as it keeps the tension up for the Premier League, but in this game I hope for Aston Villa to defeat Manchester City. I am not an Aston Villa fan, but for the sake of their flawless record so far, why not hope for them to continue.

Yet I think that this has opened up a variety of new possibilities for Ancelotti as he himself has probably not expected Bellingham to bring his defensive-offensive role to perfection so quickly. If Bellingham scored half as many goals, everyone would still be impressed by him. But it is absolutely mandatory for Real Madrid for the future to have that position backed up or complemented with one of the best strikers on the market. If Bellingham has ever a long-lasting injury, the subsequent effects on the team could be devastating as he is one of the best allrounders ever. 

It was actually impressive to see what Real Madrid did with their older generation of players. And of course, nobody is going to forget the midfield trio. But of course, like everything, the new generation is going to have to take the place of the older ones. And Jude Bellingham is definitely one of the best things that happened for Real Madrid. At least in recent times. Sometimes it feels like time is passing by really quick. Whatever it is, we have been entertained by the Real Madrid midfield a lot. Let's hope that we can get the same things from the new generation of Real Madrid midfielders.

I think the mix is what is important for a team. There is no strict rule for the average age of a team, but if there are only veterans on the field and hardly any young players who can play with extremely high pace, like Vinicius Junior for Real Madrid, it is wrong. But then I remember how often players were underestimated in their importance for a team when they got older. Modric is the craziest example, but Pirlo contributed a lot to the Italian team at a high age if I remember correctly. There are several other examples that were believed to be dead in the water and yet they turned out to be indispensable for the team later on. Kroos is also getting older, but still is a player who has an unbelievable overview and awareness on the field.

In the Champions League Real Madrid is one of my favorites because they have this mix consisting of players like Bellingham and Vinicius Junior (once recovered) on the one hand, and Kroos and Alaba on the other hand (just to mention a few).

Chelsea players are showing some seriousness in some matches but they are not consistent in their winning which is the major challenge many people are experiencing from Chelsea in this season. If you look at the premier league table you will discovered that Manchester united is still ahead of Chelsea despite Chelsea won their last match with 3-2 to defeated their opponent, and nobody know if they will be able to win their next match to make people believe that they are good to increase their performance. If you look at Manchester united players very well, you will know that the challenges they are facing right now is the goalkeeper because since they brought this new keeper Onana, Manchester united started to experience some poor performance.
Manchester united will face Chelsea next and it's tomorrow game which I'm not frightened because my club is yet to lose to any big side this season. But Manchester United have lost against elite clubs and Chelsea might just be another match to experience defeats. The performance of the Blues do experienced volatility just like a crypto project in the market. Chelsea build-up sequence is the only I admire about the pattern of the Blues. I'm quietly telling the Red Devils supporters not to expect much from their club when they finally face Chelsea because when it comes to possession, we always dominate the match.

That's a good one, comparing Chelsea to a pump and dump coin in the crypto market. I think you might be onto something here. Cheesy

But in all seriousness, this game could go anywhere. It's tough to tell which team is more forced to deliver, but I think that Chelsea is at a point where expectations have started to shrink. The fans and the more neutral spectators like me don't expect too much from them anymore. I also don't expect much from Manchester United, but they still perceive themselves as the next Champions League winner due to ten Hag's arrogant attitude. I don't understand why he doesn't get sacked, I don't get it. I hope that Chelsea destroys them 0-3 at Old Trafford to finally send ten Hag home.

Valencia played very well in the first half and led 1-0 over Girona but dropped their performance in the 2nd half and Girona scored two consecutive goals in the 82nd and 88th minutes to win the match. It was a bad luck for Valencia. Valencia's performance was outstanding towards the end of the game. Big congratulations to them
But if you only cogitate about the timing of the goals that Girona scored, the impression could arise that Valencia played well, but in reality Girona was the far superior team and the goals were the result of their performance. If Valencia took home a point from this game, it would have been mostly luck in my opinion. Still they fought hard for as long as they could and perhaps sometimes they can save this one goal and not concede any, but in many cases this doesn't play out very well for the inferior team. Resisting so much pressure over more than 90 minutes and winning the game is rather lucky.

Valencia did not perform badly in this match. The team has only 24% ball possession. However, we saw some excellent and powerful attacks from Valencia's players. Despite having 76% of the ball possession, Girona's players made a total of 9 shots, while Valencia's players also managed 9 shots. I would say Girona were very lucky in this match, so they managed to get full 3 points. Girona equalized in the 82nd minute with Stuani's goal. And just 6 minutes later Stuani scored another goal to give Girona the win.

You are generally right about the number of shots being equal for the two teams, but that is not the most compelling statistic in this game. Valencia didn't only have 24% ball possession, which by the way is extremely low, but they also had a passing accuracy of below 70% (68% to be exact). They didn't get into the game ever. Of course they are no amateurs and will have their small chances with counter attacks, but I doubt that anyone would try to convince me how well Valencia played when about every third pass of theirs missed the target, which means did not reach a teammate. That was not a good game for Valencia.

Apart from the rumors circulating about David De Gea possibly heading to the Saudi league, quite surprising news came from Newcastle because they were interested in bringing the former Manchester United goalkeeper to St James Park. I think it is the right decision for Newcastle if they can get David De Gea, who is still a free agent until now and we will see David De Gea return to the EPL with a different club.
~~
David De Gea is a masterful goalkeeper. He also has the capability to do well in the GK role. Besides that, Saudi Arabia will not be good for David De Gea because he is still young and can play at top level, i.e., in Europe. Saudi Arabia is the place where players can spend the rest of their lives and earn money. While European football is a prominent sport where players need to do their best to achieve their status, Newcastle United would be quiet well for David De Gea because there X11 goalkeeper got injured and is out for the rest of the season and the club need a solid goalkeeper who's willing to take his place and give his contribution to the club. So I think buying David De Gea on loan will not be good because when Pop recovers from injury, his place will fill up. So their club needs to buy David De Gea on loan not permanently. Just for the season loan.

No doubt that De Gea had an outstanding career, but what I disliked about him in the maybe last two years or so is that he became more and more prone to errors during the game. He was rock solid for a long time, but the number of mistakes gradually increased and it felt as sometimes his own defense doesn't trust him. The full story though would be that he also couldn't trust his own defense either, which made it mutually complicated among the players responsible for defending their own goal. I didn't like how ten Hag treated him in the end because that was dishonorable, but I am not so sure whether other first class clubs would still take him.

There are a few scenarios for PSG how to get into the next round of the Champions League, but the most straightforward of them all is to win the match against Borussia Dortmund. If it was not a home game for Dortmund, I would say that PSG has big chances to win the game. But in this case Dortmund has enough power to score at home and I would usually say this game is more likely to end with a draw. But that makes it dangerous for PSG as Newcastle could win their game and then take PSG's place in the round of 16.
There is no doubt about their progress in Champions League is not good and after having draw against Newcastle United things are going more troubled which needs good effort from them in last game against Dortmund if they want to go through into round of 16 because without win they can't go even Newcastle United is also having problems, but they can manage against AC Milan which is much easier than PSG but mostly peoples feeling they can do this against Dortmund because host club is already progressed, and they can give chance to their few reserve players which will help them.

Kylian Mbappé is surely one of the best which can bring changes by himself, and he needs to give his best in this last match even nothing is predictable about their progress but still I am personally having faith in them for going for the next round and having good positive end of this season.

It is not like there isn't anything at stake for Borussia Dortmund and this is why we will see a top game on a very high level from both teams as Borussia Dortmund wants to avoid coming second in the group. Considering who will advance to the round of 16 from most of the other groups, coming first is worth every effort. If they get Real Madrid or Manchester City as an opponent because they finish their group second, it could immediately be game over for them. That is why I think PSG has no advantage because Borussia Dortmund already progressed to the next round. It is quite the contrary as coming first has so much value under these circumstances.

Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe's story is turning into a continual soap play. The last two seasons, I've been watching this, and its always the same: Real Madrid is interested, but Mbappe stops talking. They're now saying they wont go after him, but who knows? These things can change quickly in the world of transfers. I am not waiting with bated breath for the move window to open. That depends on whether Real Madrid keeps their word or goes after someone younger like Endrick. Regarding Mbappe joining Liverpool, I believe that is more of a work of fiction than a fact. Liverpool is a great team, but Real Madrid seems to be the only real player in this game.

I think it is much easier than many here think about this transfer. If Mbappe is available, Real Madrid will go and try to buy him or sign him depending on his contract. Really it is worthless when Real Madrid announces that they put this story ad acta. I don't buy that. They are probing whether Mbappe will react to that but that's probably going nowhere as Mbappe knows every club on the planet wants him. It will again be about money and whether everything Mbappe wants to end up on his bank account eventually ends up on his bank account. If Real Madrid fulfills the requirement, he will go there. If they don't, he instead earns another billion elsewhere.

I only find it interesting what other clubs might be waiting in line to make an offer. I read that Liverpool may be one of the candidates, but I also think that Manchester City would be in if it really turns out that Mbappe is set to leave PSG. But I doubt that any of the financially strong clubs would refrain from reaching out at all.

I think the best offer is going to come from Real Madrid. After all, they are the ones who actually want to bring in Mbappé. But I wonder if Real Madrid is actually going to approach him again. Because they literally had been betrayed by Mbappé previously. Mbappé actually used the name of Real Madrid to get money from PSG. So I don't know if Real Madrid will actually try to get him so badly. And at the same time, it is not going to be a terrible idea for Man City to sell Haaland and try to get Mbappé. Or maybe even a trade. The thing is, if PSG actually goes to sell Mbappé, the amount of clubs that will try to get him are huge.

There have been so many reports and rumors about who said what and who promised what to whom last time when there were negotiations that I was just confused. But I doubt that Real Madrid would really pull back if Mbappe is officially available on the market. But there are some interesting ideas circulating about how the next transfer round could go. Liverpool's Salah might want to leave the club and his contract is about to expire, which means Liverpool can only sell him in the next period. Then there are rumors about Haaland and his plans for the future. I would not be blown away if Haaland decides to go for the next adventure (although I don't really think so) and Manchester City is ready to go for Mbappe. What do you think?

I am looking forward to see how Real Madrid succeeds in making the transition especially in their midfield. Bellingham was a present from heaven for them because he is filling so many gaps that Real Madrid feared could become a problem for them. But now he partially solves the striker problem, also adds strength to the midfield and also takes on responsibility for some tasks in the defense. I guess there is nothing else you can ask a player to do for the team. But Kroos will also be gone in the near future and his passing was one of the best I have ever seen in football. The accuracy is from a different planet and it still impresses me how calm he is with the ball.
Real Madrid has succeeded in building their future midfielders. We can see there are many young midfielders in Real Madrid squad. Bellingham is one of the most shining young midfielder of Real Madrid, he already contributed very well since his arrival in Real Madrid. But I think Bellingham doesn't fix the problem of striker problem totally, he is just a temporary solution. Bellingham position is still an attacking midfielder, he doesn't change to be a real striker. I sometimes feel worried about how long Bellingham can be productive in scoring goals. I realize he often gets difficulty to score goals in big matches, specifically when they play against the teams with strong defense. So, Real Madrid is still in urgent to sign a pure striker, Mbappe should be the real solution.

Yes, Kroos is one of the best midfielders in football history. When Kroos decides to leave Real Madrid, it will be a very sad moment for Real Madrid fans. Kroos isn't only a midfielder who has great ability in attacking but he is also good in defense. His accuracy in delivering assists is impressive, no one doubts it. We must always remember the trio Casemiro-Kroos-Modric, these legend midfielders of Real Madrid will be unforgettable.



Yet I think that this has opened up a variety of new possibilities for Ancelotti as he himself has probably not expected Bellingham to bring his defensive-offensive role to perfection so quickly. If Bellingham scored half as many goals, everyone would still be impressed by him. But it is absolutely mandatory for Real Madrid for the future to have that position backed up or complemented with one of the best strikers on the market. If Bellingham has ever a long-lasting injury, the subsequent effects on the team could be devastating as he is one of the best allrounders ever.

Chelsea vs Brighton

Chelsea was attempts to bounce back after humiliated by Newcastle last week but Brighton is not easy opponent for them because from their 3 latest meeting in Premier league Brighton is still unbeatable from Chelsea but actually Brighton also not in the good shape because in Premier league too Brighton only able to gets 1 win from 7 matches so this is interesting because i want to know which team who can be the winner of this match

This is actually hard match for Chelsea because during this season this team have failed to showing their consistency although Brighton condition also doesn't really good but i was very doubt Chelsea will be able to beat Brighton today even i think draw result might be reasonable for both teams considering the conditions between these teams is not so different and draw has high odds @3.75
This is a match between two teams who have almost the same quality and strength in my opinion.
A draw is very possible, but with Odds @ 3.75 I don't think it's worth it, it's quite risky.
I will bet on a 3 over goal in this match with Odds @ 1.93 and in my opinion with the persistent desire of both teams to win the match it is likely that both teams will score goals in this match.
Chelsea want to recover from their downturn and their performance has improved slightly, as has Brighton.

I think the over 3 goals bet can still be risky as a 2-2 would be quite spectacular and a 3-1 for either of the teams, I don't know about that. Chelsea is also able to win this by a narrow margin, maybe just 1 goal. But for Chelsea this game is immensely crucial in regards to any goals they may have for the season. It is the same for Brighton, but Chelsea is still trying to get out of this deep hole that they have fallen into. With a loss they would be at 16 points after 14 games, which again puts them in the range of what they had last season.

The last three games were difficult and they won against the Hotspurs, tied the game against Manchester City and lost the game against Newcastle. With a win against Brighton their overall result out of these four games would be acceptable.
