This weekend Chelsea faces Newcastle, and they deserves a win. However, Newcastle has proven to be a strong team. In their last meeting in the league cup back in 2010, Newcastle won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 against Chelsea. So, who will come out on top this time? Stats tell a story, but I don't like to rely on that. Things won't be the same as before this time. Chelsea seems to have been steadily improving, while injuries to Newcastle players make the match challenging for them. This time, Chelsea is coming for revenge, so Newcastle should be prepared. I hope Chelsea's players continue to improve their gameplay against Newcastle, which making it an exciting match to watch.

2010? You have gotten a long way back there buddy  Tongue . Anyway yeah Chelsea bs Newcastle is a tough one. Chelsea have just now found their form and have produced some good results by defeating Spurs with heavy margin and stalemate with City. Newcastle on other hand also are a strong team and Newcastle are the favourites going into the match. I would say Chelsea is not up for revenge, but more for being consistent back again. They have to prove to their fans who have been waiting for their team to be in form from a long time. I am not sure about who is gonna win but it sure is gonna be an interesting and thrilling match to watch.

Well, you are right because of the ability and possibility of Girona to finish in the top 4 which is quite clear and achievable if they keep working hard to win the next few games ahead,  yeah they can keep accumulating more points from winning the weaker clubs and even if their are not able to win all the games against other stronger teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona who are the two most strong clubs in Girona line up for the season.

Although it may be tough but believe me with the current state of Real Madrid,  defeating or playing a draw against them is much more easier for Girona than it is for them to come up against Barcelona.

Yeah at this pace any club can achieve top 4 but there are lot of things that can happen still. Key thing is that Girona have been able to maintain their consistency against mediocre and weak sides. They also have defeated some big teams on the way and they have managed to squeeze out maximum out of the matches as they could but the thing is that they haven't had  been hit with injuries and possible that with such intensity their players also might get injured in upcoming matches so that is where they might give the other teams chance to overtake them on the table. Barcelona is coming up soon in 3 weeks so that should be a good test for them.

I Personally do not fall for left footed strikers though Rasmus Hojlund makes the right movement and finds himself in the right spot but Manchester United wingers have failed to play around him. I've complained too much about Marcus Rashford failing to work something out for his number nine. Take a look at Manchester City, they all played to see Erling Haaland scoring goals last season and it resulted to him scoring the highest goals and helping Manchester City winning the treble.

Manchester United should create more chances for him and play to his strength. it's has got to be the reason why Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United wants a second striker. Most definitely, Antonio Martial will be sold or loaned he has been doing poorly due to consistent Injury.

They have some really good players but they always get themselves into controversies either outside the club or something happens inside the club. I agree they need some high class wingers in order to be a competitive squad back again. Rashford can play at wing too but his actual use can be utilised using in striker position only. Antony is a decent one but not at a level what Greenwood used to produce earlier. Sancho has also gotten himself into spat with coach .. so there are lot of things going inside United and ten Haag needs to resolve this otherwise he will be sacked soon also.

Actually, Chelsea performance still not stable yet but in last two matches they are stronger team after beating top standings team Tottenham Hotspur and last week before international break out success make favorite team Manchester City get draw. Chelsea on difficult opponent teams for several matches later but they have good started beat Tottenham Hotspur and one points against Manchester City. Net match Newcastle United I don't think difficult opponent team for Chelsea because The Magpies have focus on other important Champion League match few days later after facing Chelsea.

Newcastle United won't loss their opportunity in Champion League and seems they will make rotation against Chelsea to make their effective performance on Champion League match against PSG.

Well they have really performed very well in last two matches and that too against big sides like City and Spurs. They will be very confident right now and secondly they will be having a great boost with Nkunku return who is yet to be 100% fit but is close to return soon. Newcastle is another tough test for them but with the team coordination they are building right now I think they will fight really hard in upcoming match. Newcastle still shouldn't be undermined here because they have a very good squad and it is very tough to get past their defence and yet past their goalkeeper Nick Pope and Chelsea just now have picked their momentum, so it is still hard to say that Chelsea will find it easy against Newcastle.

Actually, if for example Milan did not lose many of its key players due to injury, then I think Milan would still have a chance to qualify for the last 16. Because anyway, in the remaining matches Milan will only play against Dortmund and against Newcastle but unfortunately, because at this moment Milan lost many of its key players due to injury then such cases will have a bad impact on Milan current performance. Also, Milan is also getting bad results in Serie A as its position is slowly falling but yes, hopefully Milan can still play well at least to be able to finish in third place in this group F.

Yes Milan are in a tough spot but they really can still defeat Dortmund with proper game plan. CL games are always the surprising ones and so I am really not calling them off the books. It's Milan's home and the atmosphere there is really different. A proper gameplan for a match that matters the most can really change things. Pioli is a smart manager and I think he will set something out of usual for this match in order to turn the chances a bit into their favour. Dortmund also sometimes slips in easy matches so Milan still has some chance.

I can understand that, I can understand why they're struggling so much in the Champions League. They are in the toughest group in the Champions League, with teams that are very experienced, while they are arguably a newcomer team, of course it affects their mentality and morale. But on the other hand I also still appreciate them, because they can still compete with 1 win and 1 draw, which ultimately makes them still have a chance to be able to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. Yes, although they have to work very hard to be able to realize their chances.
Newcastle looks most inexperienced with champions league amongst others in the group F. They are at the bottom of the group and looking like they are not qualifying for the next round of the champions league this season because they have the least point in their group.

They have won only one out of all four champions league games they have played so far,they lost two and drew one which has turned out very poor amongst the results other teams in the same group has got in the champions league so far this season, they seem unlucky to be amongst experienced teams who still don't mind taking advantage of their weakness to their benefits because they want to qualify to the next stage, Dortmund and PSG still remains the only teams that looks to me like they would qualify
I agree with you on this because Newcastle United played very good football against Borussia Dortmund but the inexperience of Uefa Champions League Newcastle players had caused them to lose against Borussia Dortmund. Group F of the Uefa Champions League which is the Newcastle group is still open for any club to qualify because the points difference between the clubs is not much. I believe Newcastle United will beat PSG again when they play at home in England.

Newcastle did decent in the last match but could have done lot better but that's how CL games goes, always set for a surprise. Anyway right now Newcastle are in a very tough spot as they are on the bottom of the table and have to win their next CL match against PSG otherwise their chances of qualifying will depend very much on others or maybe could be none also. PSG are tough opponents but they have defeated PSG in the beginning also so Newcastle has to pull of  a win again in their next CL fixture to keep their chances alive to a good degree.

As far as the outcome of this game is concerned, I don't have any strong preferences, as long as Dortmund comes out on top, which would be satisfactory for me. Due to injuries, AC Milan has unfortunately lost some key players, creating a golden opportunity for Dortmund to secure a spot in the top 16.
Terzic needs to use a lot of benefits owned by dortmund due to the crisis faced by acmilan. Milan is in a very big disadvantage. Missing leao will become the main problem for this club.

Dortmund is in need of replicating the same score as the match against Newcastle in order to achieve their objective. A narrow victory would be more than adequate to secure the club's progression to the next stage.

Gogo dortmund! You can destroy acmilan!

Yeah Milan certainly seems to be in a lot of trouble right now with injuries. Stefano Pioli has very limited options right now for the upcoming CL match and is to manage the team for the Serie A and CL match both. It is a very difficult situation for Ac milan right now and certainly Dortmund has the upper hand right now. Still it's AC Milan and I have seen they have come out strong in such matches sometimes even though they have very limited options on the team. So I would say Dortmund are the favourites but AC Milan are also not completely off the books.

I don't sure how accurate with this information about Atletico Madrid Antonie Griezmann will move to Manchester United, last few hours I checked on some media reported about fake news with Antonie Griezmann will reach agreement deal moving to United and he will extend with Atletico Madrid until his contract over on Jun 30, 2026.
Manchester United keep making stupid move if this rumor went true, Griezmann is already old which mean they can't use Griezmann for long term prospect. What's the point to spend good amount of money when the guy can only play for 2-3 years? no one will interested with him anymore and Manchester United can't able to sell him.

True, it doesnt makes any sense. Also we saw earlier how Griezmann failed with Barcelona so I think there will be a doubt in mind of United's mind whether it will be a right move or not. Griezmann have been doing great at Atletico right now and I don't think Griezmann is planning to move away from Atletico. I don't think at all that Griezmann will be a right choice for United.

Werder Bremen will be facing the one of the toughest team in the bundesliga this season, Bayern Leverkusen over the weekend, Leverkusen has stayed unbeaten since this season, they have drawn only one of their matches so far and that was against Bayern Munich which is another though team in the bundesliga this season too.

Werder Bremenim their last five games won only one lost two and drew two which has left them at the tweleveth position with eleven points, I'd you further check their team dept and strength, you would find out they are not any equation with Leverkusen but then according to the H2H stats, they ended in a draw most times with Leverkusen winning a few times but now I think Leverkusen is in a better form and would most likely win than draw although Werder Bremen have the home advantage.

Leverkusen are really on a good form right now and on the other hand Werder Bremen lately haven't been in form and have conceded a lot of goals. Leverkusen have been strong so far both offensively and defensively by scoring 34 goals and have conceded only 10 goals till now. Leverkusen have lot of players in form and really have been dominating their opponents. Werder Bremen should be an easy opponents considering their form. I expect them to win with 2-0 or 3-0 scoreline easily.

Chelsea are on a positive trend after holding Manchester City to a draw, sometimes they against big teams are always good at performance but I can't be sure Chelsea at home to Newcastle will be the same, then I hope Chelsea's trend will continue.

Manchester City vs Liverpoo, this will be tougher, I don't know my feeling Liverpool will keep up with the game. The score is still difficult to predict.

Yeah they are but honestly in that match they were lucky to get a penalty in the last minute and get a draw. Anyway they have been doing well lately and showing an intent to fight unlike earlier which is a very good sign considering the level of opponents they are about to face in next couple of weeks. Newcastle haven't been in form so must be a good sign for Chelsea here but Newcastle still are a very tough opponents. Secondly they will be facing them on their turf so that makes it further harder. Still I feel Chelsea will show us a good fight but its hard to say if they will be able to win by the final whistle.. It could go either way.

I think Dortmund would qualify from the group also PSG is in good position to qualify even after being beaten by Newcastle, although it's too early to draw conclusion, I think Newcastle has done very well to be in the UEFA champions league in the first place and have not made a bad showing of themselves being in the champions league after a very long time of absence.

PSG and their Coach has started to blend and I think there is more excitement to come from PSG and I think they would also do very well in coming matches. To be Frank this group is a very tough one.

Well things can't be said for clear. No one has qualified yet and every club in that group has chance of making it even Newcastle also. Newcastle have their game remaining against PSG and Milan and they have to do a lot of heavy lifting here in order to win their remaining matches and advance to the next stage. Each club in this group has the ability to make it in the next stage which is what makes the toughest group and exciting one to watch.

Tottenham head coach Postecoglou reported a serious injury to midfielder Maddison. And most likely Maddison will not take part in the games until next year. The injury turned out to be much stronger than everything was clear before. Now there will be a replacement in the Spurs starting lineup...

Maddison injury is something that was not anticipated but the good thing is that it's not a long term and will be joining after a month. Another thing worrying for Postecoglou is that Maddison is not the only one injured, it's a long list and manager has limited no. of options. One injury more in these positions and manager has to play out someone else out of positions or change the formation and work some other tactics.
Maddison’s injury is quite complicated, I don’t think he will return in a month.
I agree that there are enough injuries in the team and the next idea should be to change the game plan and that’s the only way. They have no replacement

Matar Sarr is the one that comes close to replacement of Maddison for now and to be honest he is a very good option for Postecoglou but the thing is that what about the replacement of Van de Ben? Eric Dier is the one that seems like the closest one but isn't an effective option. So there are lot of things that have gotten wrong at a time when they are in fine form. Good thing is that transfer market is close so they can make signings if they want to but are they really planning to sign some is the main question.

^^I feel that people are forgetting about the time when Real Madrid were performing poorly after Zidane left and after 6 months or so he returned and Madrid performed with consistency again. Yeah Madrid had stars in the team but it is also hard to manage those star players. Right now United is a different challenge but it could be possible that he might accept it. It's not that Zidane is afraid of challenge but the working environment also needs to be comfortable for the manager as well.

There weren`t many solutions, Napoli continued to lose, the fans continued to boo, now it was just a whirlwind of negativity towards the bottom. Impossible to stop.

Unfortunately he wasn`t up to par, sometimes the challenges are too difficult, we`re not embarrassed to admit it.
Let`s hope he recovers at this point.

Yeah too much negativity in the dressing room of Napoli. Lot of controversies has happened ever since the season started and the dressing room isn't like the last season. Glad that board felt something had to change and sacked Garcia but is that enough?. Napoli had appointed Mazzarri now but is he also a good replacement? I have my doubts here. They should have appointed someone better after taking some time.

I would say that if Manchester United's performance does not improve before the winter transfer window, United should first sack Erik ten Hag and hire a new coach. And then revamped their squad. In the previous transfer window, we saw that Ten Hag could not add the right players to the squad for Manchester United. He added young players like Hojlund to Skoda. And Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League this season. And so I don't think Ten Hag will be able to select the right players for the squad in the next transfer window. He will waste money. While Chelsea's performance has gradually improved, Manchester United's performance is still very poor.

MU has actually had to fire Erik Ten Hag since the start of the season, but currently MU still does not have the option to find a suitable coach. The last rumor I read last year was that Zidane was considered the right figure, but Zidane has not yet responded to this rumor. Apart from Zidane, there is the name of the former MU coach, Solksjaer, who we all know has failed before. I don't know why until now MU has not tried to approach Conte, maybe with MU, Conte can give better results.

Erik ten Haag had good last season so board has quite some trust on ten Haag. Zidane is also a right figure but is he also up for the job? Last I heard that he said no to any offer he received last season. Zidane is a good candidate though. About Conte he also wanted some break from managing after Spurs sack so he was also out of the market. Possible that things have changed now so Conte could say yes. If I recall correctly, last to last season United were late on getting Conte and Spurs got Conte but this time United might want to rush things and sign Conte if he is in the market.

I think Chelsea should sign a better goalkeeper rather than signing a striker now. I don't like Robert Sanchez now. He isn't a player who is at Chelsea's level at the moment. Kepa is also not coming back at least until the end of the season and I doubt his future at Chelsea later as well.
There have been rumors circulating that Chelsea are monitoring Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but it seems that this is just a rumor, although often a player's move starts with a previous rumor, finally confirmation is obtained by seeing the player sign a contract with the rumored club. Robert Sánchez at Chelsea was indeed a mistake and maybe next season or in the nearest transfer window Chelsea will try to correct this mistake by buying a more reliable goalkeeper with minimal blunders.

Yeah Ramsdale is unsettled at Arsenal right now but that doesn't means Chelsea will sign him. Chelsea already had recently signed Robert Sanchez and signing another good and experienced player will add another player at bench. It will be same situation for Ramsdale again. Even if there is rumour, I don't think it will materialize in the end. I feel Sanchez is a very strong keeper and doing a great job. It is their defence which is letting them down.

Without a question, Barcelona has a lot of young talent, but I'm not sure how they'll handle their strikers. Lewandowski isn't getting any younger, so they need to start getting someone ready to take his place. They should make it a top priority to get a young, fast scorer who can learn from Lewandowski while he's still on the field. With Gavi and Pedri in the middle, the center looks strong, but the attack needs a future star. Catalonia's future looks bright if Xavi can pull this off.

Yeah they do need a striker but I feel despite the age Lewandowski is doing a great job. So I think Lewandowski still can give 2-3 years more and that's an ample amount of time to find a young and potential striker. Even if they are unable to develop such player they can always look into the market for such player. It's too early to look for striker yet. Lewandowski is fit and is in form so not an alarming sign for Barca to look for striker yet.

City will be desperate and will be aiming to win the match for a change but Liverpool are not an easy opponent at all.
City v Liverpool has been a match to look out for in recent years, and this one will be no different, last season Liverpool were not in the title race, but thus far this season, they are making a claim to be title contenders, but it is still early to conclude if they can take the title away from Manchester City.

Liverpool would want to make a loud statement by beating the champions, but the match is at the Etihad and City have made their home a fortress, thus i don't think Liverpool can win; my prediction for this one is City to either win or draw.

Liverpool doesn't wants to perform like last season and thus they have been strong so far. They have to emerge as winners in these kind of matches in order to win the title but City also wants to win PL titles back to back and recently they have been inconsistent. It's a tough one for City but they have to win it somehow. It's a very tough fixture and it's very hard to pick a winner for me. Home soil certainly gives an advantage but it's not necessary that home team wins the matches for sure. If Liverpool wins things will certainly look good for Arsenal and others and that is what I want so Liverpool is what I am rooting in for in this match.

Yes, he is still very young. So at that age, we also enter the age of puberty where the peak periods of ego are still very visible. So I personally prefer not to make the problem too big. Besides, Lewandowski sometimes does the same thing. Unless Yamal keeps making these mistakes over and over again and makes his team lose. But I think these young players will understand it as time goes by. Because you already have good skills. he just has to learn more about the importance of cooperation and restrain his ego more for the good and victory of the club.
Barcelona will only improve in preformancs if the players are cooperative and I've watched tough games with both players having issues and facing difficulty interacting with each other. Lamine Yamal is still very young and promising, he's open to golden opportunities in his path but he has to obey his senior colleagues who are already experienced because if he want to go far in his football career, he will make preparation on becoming new a better version of himself. However everything will be resolved and also expects the best results to come clean.

They will slowly start to develop those attributes with time and experience. Of course other experienced players has to chime in and try to give them their expert opinions and the player also should be willing to take in those advices. Barcelona are building their squad and developing these youn players. Naturally there will be some slight upsets due to mistakes but in future they will create a very strong team if they go down this road. Manager just has to make sure that these young players start to coordinate with the team and play a team game instead of being selfish.
