Basically, Chelsea had been very good when Tuchel coached but unfortunately, problems regarding ownership at that time made Chelsea have to have a new owner and made Tuchel sacked. Because if at that time, for example, Chelsea didn't have problems like that, then maybe Chelsea are still in their best form right now.
Because the decline in Chelsea's performance in the Tuchel era also occurred at least after Chelsea had problems like that, so at this moment it was like they were building a team from scratch again with their new coach Graham Potter.

Talking about the next match where Chelsea will play at home against Manchester City, I also think that Chelsea's chances of winning will certainly be very difficult. But after considering Manchester City's performance which still looks unstable, it is possible that Chelsea can still get a draw with one point.
But they will play back to back because after they play in the Premier League and then, Manchester City will play at home against Chelsea in the FA Cup. With a schedule like that, I personally feel that this match will be difficult to predict, because even though Manchester City is good on paper, it still doesn't guarantee that Manchester City will win easily.

What's more, if we relate to the results that PSG got in the two smelly matches recently after the World Cup break, the results were not very good and with these bad results. So at least, maybe at this moment Mbappe will find it difficult to get good results when there is no good support in their gameplay.
So, maybe Mbappe will also start to realize that to win the title is not only about money but also many factors that are of course important in the team.

With PSG still weak when they lost several of their main players, then of course Mbappe really can't stay at PSG forever. Because if Mbappe plays for a team, especially for Real Madrid, then I personally believe that Mbappe will be better when playing at Real Madrid and also has a great chance to win many titles.
It's interesting how Mbappe is developing, because Mbappe has very good potential in the future.

If I consider the head to head results as well I think Inter did not really dominate the win when playing against Napoli, because sometimes Napoli can also beat Inter and also end the match with a draw. Meanwhile at that time at least Inter's performance, quality and squad were still better than Napoli but at that time Napoli were able to provide a good resistance when playing against Inter.
Therefore, while Napoli are clearly in their best form at this moment, I personally really believe that Napoli have a greater chance of winning or at least they will get a draw.

Because even though Inter also have great motivation to stop Napoli from going too far, the reality is that Napoli also certainly has big ambitions to become title winners this season.
With the big ambitions that Napoli also have, of course, Napoli will certainly play with great efforts at least so as not to lose playing at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. So, it's not only Inter who has great motivation because of course these two teams have the target of getting good results so they will play well in this match.

With Lens' win over PSG with a score of 3-1, Lens is the only team that has conceded the fewest goals so far in Ligue 1. Didn't expect it, because who can predict PSG's competitors who are looking good so far are Lens and not about Lyon, Lille and Marseille.
The number of PSG's key players who could not be played, this had a very bad impact because it made PSG's performance really drop dramatically.

This result at least proves that when PSG are without their main players, PSG is only like a mediocre team. Because if I compare the defeats of Lens and PSG so far this season, they have only received one defeat, but PSG got a worse score when they received defeat compared to Lens.
But yes, at least PSG's position is still safe at the top of the standings, and when their key players return, PSG will return to their best form.

Something that I was worried about happened, and to be honest with this result it certainly makes me very disappointed with Chelsea for making my multi bet lose again and again. I had previously hoped that Chelsea would have to continue to put pressure on Nottingham and I hoped that Chelsea's one-goal victory in the first half would not make Chelsea feel complacent.
But in reality Chelsea really lowered their intensity to attack, because in the second half Chelsea only controlled ball possession but didn't make much effort to apply pressure.

With the reduced intensity of attacks in the second half, Chelsea had to accept a draw in this match, even though if they continued to play with high pressure in the second half, the one-goal victory would certainly be maintained.
If it continues like this in every match, then it is clear that Graham Potter was a mistake because he did not apply the right strategy or they really underestimated opponents who were in the relegation zone.

Naturally, if Chelsea had difficulty penetrating Nottingham's defense, because basically Nottingham was also only focused on defending. Even though Nottingham occasionally makes counterattacks, still, Nottingham will defend more often. Because if Nottingham also plays attack, then it is very likely that Chelsea can easily make more dangerous inroads into the Nottingham defense area.
But anyway, Chelsea have also won by one goal at half time which is certainly good for them, but I hope Chelsea will continue to put pressure on Nottingham.

Because if in the second half Chelsea reduced the intensity of their attacks, it is likely that Nottingham will be able to score goals too. Therefore, I hope Chelsea are still motivated to be able to score another goal in the second half, because being only one goal ahead is basically still not safe.
Because these lower ranked teams can sometimes make surprises as well so yeah, hopefully the second goal and maybe also the third goal will still be scored by Chelsea in the second half to make a good win at this moment.

Anyway, this is an important match for both teams because for Inter, of course, this is the right moment to be able to return to the competition in the top four as well as to stop Napoli's progress. But of course, even though Inter are playing at home doesn't mean Inter will be easy to beat Napoli.
Even though so far Inter have looked very good at home when they played against Napoli, but at this moment it will clearly be a difficult job for Inter if they have to win full points.

Because Napoli is also of course a very good moment to get full points to keep away from competing teams, because with three points then of course it will be very good for Napoli to continue to strengthen its position at the top of the Serie A standings.
Therefore, this is a big match because apart from improving their position in the Serie A standings, there is also high prestige in this match, which of course keeps them motivated. That way too, any results are very open in this match whether it's winning and losing and also drawing because both of them are very clearly on a path that requires them to gain points in every match.

Do you think Brentford and Aston Villa are weak teams that are easy to beat? With everything that has happened so far this season I honestly can never say Brentford and Aston Villa are weak teams, especially for Brentford who surprised at the start of the season by beating the big teams.
Also about Aston Villa, even though they are still not good enough and can't be consistent, Aston Villa really can't be underestimated and that's what I predicted before too.

So which, with this Tottenham defeat I don't think is too surprising but yes, maybe the surprise is only about the final score in this match. How is it that Tottenham can't score in this home match, and lucky for me not to bet on Tottenham and only bet on the total goals option.
Anyway, Tottenham has indeed become unconducive after the world cup break and of course Tottenham's position will probably continue to fall, considering Manchester United and Liverpool seem to have gotten better at this moment.

Lorient is still 0-1 down against Angers at this moment, I think Lorient can win this match or at least can end with one point for both teams. Because after all, at this moment Lorient is clearly better than Angers who are at the bottom of the current Ligue 1 standings.
But yes, even though Lorient is in a better position in the Ligue 1 standings compared to Angers, in reality Lorient is not the favorite to win this match.

But even so, I'm still confident that Lorient will still get points in this match, even though Lorient can't beat Angers, but because Lorient has a better situation, Lorient should at least be able to end the match in a draw.
Because after all, Lorient's away match record so far has been quite good so I think that if Lorient can't pick up any points in this match it will be a bit of a surprise for me as well because I'm fully confident for Lorient to win or draw.

With Valladolid managing to hold Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw until 82 minutes, it was honestly a good game Valladolid had. Because if Valladolid plays badly, then of course Real Madrid will be able to score goals in the first half.
Not only that, Real Madrid's goal was only created after a Valladolid player got a red card which made Valladolid no longer able to defend the draw he had get.

Because basically Valladolid at this moment is a team that is in the lower standings area, so of course even though Valladolid lost, but with a process like that basically Real Madrid didn't win optimally. Even though Real Madrid also played Benzema in their starting lineup yesterday, which most of us think when Benzema plays, then Real Madrid will easily win.
But in reality it's not as easy as imagined so yes, Valladolid is still out of luck even though they are playing well but it's still difficult for Valladolid to get points in that match.

These two teams did not get perfect results in the previous match, especially regarding Tottenham being held to a draw by Brentford and thus, it seems that for this match too I think Tottenham will not be easy to get three points. Indeed, Tottenham will be playing at home but for some reason I'm not entirely sure for Tottenham it will be easy to beat Aston Villa.
Because in my opinion, sometimes teams that are not favorites lose in the previous match, sometimes they can play well in the next match.

So yes, at this moment I might only bet with both teams to score or the total goals option. Because after all, even though Aston Villa still hasn't had its best form so far, basically Aston Villa is not a weak team and easy to beat.
Therefore, I believe Aston Villa will be able to score goals or at least provide a tough fight in this match and hopefully the match goes as expected to score goals and not just defend.

Yes, it's strange to compare him to Juventus because in reality Juventus are also experiencing problems, especially with their management or board. Because I think if you compare it with their management it is clear that Manchester United is still better and healthier, because even though Juventus at this moment also looks good in Serie A, in reality they have a more complicated problem regarding the case of document falsification.
So yes, it's totally wrong to compare Manchester United to Juventus but anyway, I personally believe Manchester United can beat Barcelona and Manchester United can go far in the Europa League this season.

Instead of comparing it to Juventus, I think it would be more correct to compare it to Arsenal because they are both on the rise and also they have healthier management than Juventus.
But yes, because Arsenal managed to win the group, of course Arsenal will play in the next play-off round, but at least that also proves that Arsenal this season are indeed better when compared to Manchester United who only finished runners up and Juventus who were eliminated from the Champions League.

Agree and what's great again, Arsenal only plays with a young squad whose average is still under 30 years old and also, if Arsenal can maintain this kind of performance then of course Arsenal have a good future. But about the best team I also agree, because the Premier League is the most competitive league with lots of expensive players, great coaches, big teams with their rich ownership competing in the Premier League.
So, if Arsenal are indeed not the richest team in the English Premier League and only play with a young squad with a coach who basically doesn't have many titles. So, given Arsenal's achievements so far this season we can at least agree that it's been a tremendous achievement Arteta has made for Arsenal this season.

But yes, basically Arteta also managed to bring Arsenal close to finishing in the top four last season but unfortunately, they failed in the last matches.
But this season Arteta can still provide the best for Arsenal, because they are also currently moving away from other competing teams. Because at the same time when the competing teams were unable to gain full points, Arsenal were still able to be consistent in getting three points in the match last night. Obviously, that is a good result for Arsenal, because they can still keep their gap from other teams which will certainly keep Arsenal's position safe at the top of the standings.

Playing away against Cremonese is not a complicated obstacle for Juventus because even though I underestimated Cremonese, the fact is that so far this season Cremonese are the only team that has not won at all. So, my personal prediction is that Juventus will still win with a good score and even with clean sheets too.
But, if Juventus can't win with a good score, maybe it will be a surprise too because after all, at this moment we assume Juventus are in good shape and performing well so of course Juventus will get full points against Cremonese.

But apart from that, the reality is that only Napoli and Inter as big teams will actually face each other in the first match after this break. They will be the big match at this moment, because for other big teams I can say they will be able to guarantee a definite victory.
Therefore, because Napoli will also play against Inter, the other big teams fighting for the top four positions will of course be more motivated to get full points.

Maybe if you consider the draw that Barcelona got in last night's match against Espanyol, a team that is in the bottom area of the standings, then maybe you will also agree that there are still problems in their squad and performance. If it's only against Espanyol that Barcelona can still be held to a draw, then how can Barcelona consistently win full points for the next match.
What's more, Barcelona's competition in the European League is still very doubtful even with a squad like now, but in reality Barcelona's performance is sometimes still weak at several points.

So yes, even though Barcelona are still top of the table right now even though they only got a draw meanwhile Real Madrid won with a good score of 2-0. So Barcelona's position will still not be safe, because Barcelona and Real Madrid's points are currently the same, only the number of goals keeps Barcelona at the top of the standings.
But for the next match Barcelona and Real Madrid will play against strong teams, so I think in that match they will probably drop points. But considering Barcelona's performance as it is now, I personally believe Real Madrid will be able to take over the top position of the La Liga standings through the next match.

If I only consider what happened in this moment, because it seems that PSG are still not completely good. Because maybe there are still key players they can't play, so PSG's performance in Ligue 1 hasn't gotten in good shape at the moment. But yes, I also realize that the matches in the Champions League still have a lot of time for them to prepare even better.
So whatever changes happen later in February, it looks like they might surprise us too.

The reason is that the key players from them, especially Bayern Munich, will of course have a new goalkeeper, so that also seems to make Bayern Munich's defense line maybe different. But yes, it's difficult to predict at this moment because the two teams on paper certainly have good quality.
Therefore, we can't say that any one of them will guarantee victory. Because with the long break that teams from the Bundesliga get, at least they will get better conditions later.

What's wrong with Manchester city and Newcastle, when I feel so sure they will win but the end result for their match is a draw. Even though in reality they were playing at home against a team that at this moment could be said to be weak and also, Manchester city and Newcastle really could control the game.
Although indeed, they will not always get perfect points, but at least, with them playing at home and also in their best performance, full points can certainly be obtained by them in the final match of this year.

Meanwhile, Arsenal won very well, with this victory Arsenal won, of course Arsenal will continue to stay away from competing teams in the title race.
Really don't think Manchester City can be held to a draw by Everton which is basically still unstable, because after all Manchester City still has to narrow the gap in points with Arsenal.
But in fact, Manchester City seems at this moment not too promising to be able to win the Premier League title this season. Didn't expect their current squad to even have a great goal machine like Haaland, but it's still difficult for Manchester City to get full points consistently this season.

If you see that Lens is currently in second place, then it is unlikely that you will say that Lens is a weak team or a small team. Also, Lens isn't the only team that has conceded the fewest goals so far, due to the fact PSG have conceded the same number of goals as Lens. Therefore, perhaps these two currently have a better defense than the other teams but Lens is not the only one.
Apart from that, Lens was also unbeaten by PSG last season. From the two matches they played last season, the final result was a 1-1 draw.

Amazingly, Lens so far this season always gets full points when he plays at home and that is a better record than PSG's home results so far this season.
What's more, for tomorrow's match Lens will also play at home and PSG's situation and condition are still not entirely good, because there are still several key PSG players who cannot be played. With these factors, at least I would doubt PSG to win but for a draw at least it's still possible to happen.

Not only in January, because when they are still ambitious to overtake each other, of course their competition will continue to be interesting until the end of the season. Unless later Napoli is too far away and difficult to catch up or overtaken by other teams, then of course the tension in the competition for the title might decrease.
But after all, while they are still competing for the top four positions, basically their competition will still be interesting.

So yes, of course it's not only the competition in January that is interesting because after all, when the competition is still rolling, their competition will still be interesting.
Because what will make the difference is only about fighting for positions to be able to end the season or to be able to finish in a better position. Therefore, in times like these they will try some changes in friendly matches. Because then of course the coach will be able to retain good players and release players who might become players who are released in the transfer market.
