The final result of the match between Everton and Crystal Palace is a  draw 1-1 previously many predicted that this match would be won by Everton but unfortunately they failed to do it draw is a fair result for both teams and does not lose points and they can still continue the struggle to continue to move away from degradation. Currently Everton goes up to 17th position while Luton Town must go down to 18th position, we will see a fierce competition between them in the next few weeks.

Everton might be our main concern because this team has always been safe from degradation since the last 2 seasons, will Everton succeed in doing it for the 3rd time? I'm not sure but let's just wait, because we've seen the movement in this match I mean Everton has played cautiously despite draw 4 times in the last 5 matches.

Manchester United will continue to collect points to get a better position their main target is clearly ranked 5th in the standings or if they are lucky to be able to go up to 4th place, I'm happy to see Manchester United playing well recently because they are one of the symbols in the premier league so it would be strange if Manchester United didn't get a place in the European league. Apart from that, Ten Hag could get the opportunity to continue his career with Manchester United, and finding the right strategy of course.

In the next 2 matches Manchester United will face easier opponents as you said at least they will collect 6 points before facing a stronger team like Manchester City, the question is whether Manchester United can play consistently like this? because the season will soon enter its final phase with only a few matches remaining.

I also heard that one of the reasons Xavi left was because of the defeat against Villarreal, obviously it is very embarrassing when playing at home against a weak team but the fact is that Barcelona was defeated, we know that defeat is normal but this time it cannot be tolerated and will be ridiculed by the fans. Currently Barcelona has many weaknesses, for example in defense and attack both sides have looked weaker this season. who will replace Xavi next? I haven't heard any rumors about this, or maybe Thomas Tuchel?

That's right, this is beyond our expectations. At first we thought Newcastle would only be able to draw but in fact Newcastle won while ending their 4 bad results
We don't know whether Newcastle is still aiming for the Europa League or Conference but for the European league it seems it will be more difficult because Tottenham is there, while in the Conference League there is still West Ham as the main competitor. So far we cannot predict how Newcastle will play next because there is no guarantee they will be consistent.

There was indeed a slight shift this week like Girona who lost 2 points and Bilbao entered the top 4, regarding Atletico Madrid, I believe they still have a big chance to finish in the top 4 and they still have the same points it's just that they haven't played their 20th match yet. Overall, Atletico Madrid's performance was no better than Bilbao but there is no guarantee that Bilbao will continue to play well until the end of the season.

You are right, Arsenal experienced the same thing as Tottenham last month while at the top of the standings but suddenly the performance decreased well Arsenal are in this phase and we don't know whether they can get out of this bad situation, on the one hand Tottenham and Manchester City has successfully stabilized their performance then slowly take place in the standings now we are waiting for Arsenal's turn. Previously Liverpool also almost experienced the same thing but fortunately they can overcome it quickly and returned to consistent with every game, for now the only club that can disturb Liverpool is Manchester City they look better prepared to start the race after the half of the season. 

At first we thought the same thing but so far it did not have an impact on Inter Milan even since the group stage in the Champions League Inter Milan is still consistent with several matches in Serie A on the contrary Juventus even missed several opportunities, besides that Inter Milan has a complete squad and does not rely on one player they have 3 players in the attack line as a goal scorer if one of them is injured then there are other players who can replace but if the injury is for a long time then it will be a problem. I also see that Inter Milan's chances in the Champions League are very low so I think Inter will end it faster and back to focus on Serie A.

While Juventus do not have a busy schedule but they don't have alternative players as a substitute so if one of the players injured then it will be a big problem, overall Inter Milan is still feasible at the top of the standings but if my prediction is wrong and Inter Milan goes further in the Champions League then that is another advantage for Juventus, let's wait how Inter Milan in the Champions League.

That is a fact that cannot be denied Barcelona condition is no better than last season the main reason is Lewandowski the player seems to have lost his ability this season, we remember his contribution to Barcelona was very significant but this season he can't do much, but to face Napoli I don't think it's a big problem because Napoli is also in the same situation inconsistent in some matches. If we compare overall Barcelona looks better than Napoli and Barcelona should be able to qualify for round 8 apart from that, I don't think Napoli is able to compete in the Champions League we can see their history in the last season when they are at their best they still cannot compete so what do we expect from Napoli this season with worse conditions, that's why I say Barcelona is better even without Lewandowski. Whether it's a coincidence or not, I think Barcelona is lucky because their opponent is Napoli.

Apart from Barcelona, there are also several teams that can be said to be lucky because they faced weaker opponents for example Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG, Arsenal and Dortmund while Inter Milan and Bayern Munich had to fight hard to beat their opponents. Anyway, so far we can see which teams have the potential to qualify for round 8 we already have 6 teams and have to wait for 2 more teams between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid and Lazio vs Bayern Munich. Special for Munich, they usually always qualify for the next round at least in the semi-finals.

It would be better to think about efficiency on the team first before making any further decisions there are still many sectors that need to be improved and must start from the closest, firing Pochettino is not a guarantee that their performance will improve because Chelsea has done it several times. If there are players who do not contribute, they must be released no matter whether he is an expensive player obviously efficiency is needed, after this problem was resolved, Chelsea started to think about a reshuffle but of course it must be done more carefully. Pochettino still has half the season to observe before making a decision, I think this is the best way before this poor performance is prolonged.

It's strange to see how Chelsea are going this season, previously they almost found their best game when Chelsea managed to beat strong teams but somehow their performance slowly got worse again until defeated by weak teams. After Chelsea was released by Roman Abramovich the situation has not improved sometimes I even think it's some kind of curse. Remember Lukaku as the top scorer in the Italian League, can't do anything here there is also Enzo Fernández who attracted attention at the last World Cup in fact it did not match expectations.
 

There's no need to rush to say it the season is still long 20 matches waiting ahead and we must remember Real Madrid have a busy schedule which may have an impact on their performance in the Spanish League I'm not saying Girona is better than Madrid but sometimes there are moments that can be exploited for example when Madrid competes in the champions league then they can't totally play in La Liga I mean some players will miss the La Liga match and they are prepared for the champions league match. Girona should be able to take advantage of this moment by winning every match.

That is a scenario that we can understand, who knows, there may be other scenarios that we have never thought of before that's why I said there's no need to rush into predictions. I'm sure Girona can give Real Madrid a tough fight in the title race and wait which team is the luckiest, apart from struggle, luck is also needed of course.

I think so Paris Saint Germain more worthy of round 8 they have everything needed strength, experience and ambition especially Kylian Mbappe who has been aiming for this trophy for a long time and I think Mbappe wants to give this trophy before he leaves Paris Saint Germain next season. Mbappe is considered one of the brightest talents of the future but it would be meaningless if he didn't give this trophy. I'm not saying PSG will definitely win the Champions League but I know Mbappe's ambition to get it and it's worth keeping an eye on, round 8 was easy for PSG.

Apart from PSG, I also pay attention to Copenhagen this club managed to qualify from one of the strongest groups getting rid of Galatasaray and Manchester United this is an extraordinary achievement but in round 16 their first opponent was Manchester City, of course this is not easy but Manchester City cannot underestimate them Copenhagen has a good history in the group stage.

To be honest, I'm like watching a match in the local league somehow this match is very boring and far from expectations usually we always see a lot of goals but not for this time even Fenerbahce without shots on target, we are motivated when watching Galatasaray play in the champions league and hope they do the same in this match unfortunately that didn't happen. My bet on both teams to score lose even though previously I was very sure this bet would win, I feel trapped damn. I would place the same bet on the final Turkish Super Cup I believe the situation is different because this is an important and decisive match which will be played next December 30.

Both teams not only have the same points but also has a player who is the top scorer with 12 goals Edin Dzeko 12 goals Fenerbahce and Mauro Icardi 12 goals Galatasaray, is this just a coincidence? why everything seems organized and determined. Sometimes things like this are hard to understand and some things cannot be seen or proven but it's good to monitor.

I think it's quite the opposite Arsenal is the lucky club with this draw we know how Liverpool play at Anfield, they can destroy any team that comes luckily Arsenal still got points, Currently each club is in starting position and the struggle is still long Arsenal and Liverpool are still comfortably at the top while Manchester City came out of 4th place after being shifted by Tottenham. The Premier League still has 2 places left for the Champions League who is more suitable there Tottenham, Aston Villa or Manchester City? 2 of them will be there while 2 other places are of course secured by Arsenal and Liverpool.

Related to degradation, recently 2 clubs at the bottom of the standings won their match and still trying to get out. Burley is a newcomer to the Premier League this season it is unfortunate if they only last for one season, opportunities to get out of degradation are very low they have to compete with Nottingham and Everton especially for Everton, it seems impossible they are degraded.

Well this news can dispel rumor that there is an internal conflict between Osimhen and Napoli as reported several months ago at the same time there is no way for clubs from the Premier League to bring in Osimhen. To be honest, I wonder why Osimhen extended his contract when Napoli's performance is not good, is he confident he can bring Napoli back to where it was last season? it must be admitted that Osimhen contribution to Napoli last season was truly extraordinary in fact almost 1/2 of Napoli's goals came from Osimhen but unfortunately this season the situation is very different and Victor Osimhen has only scored 7 goals so far also unable to compete with 5 other strikers.

Now our attention turns to Roma who are slowly starting to find their game Roma collected 10 points from 5 matches not a bad achievement, if they are stable like this then Roma could climb to 5th position. Next Roma needs to pay a little attention to defense, needs improvement because so far Roma have conceded 19 goals these weaknesses can interfere with its performance.

I'm not too sure if the problem is the wrong line up because previously Chelsea had used the same line up and won the match in a row if we see from week to week Chelsea's main problem is a weak defense they are too easy to concede, besides that the Chelsea striker does not show a stable graphics sometimes scoring then in the next match not this situation continues from week to week. Chelsea need changes in the defense area then improvement in the attack area and Chelsea must do it as soon as possible unless Chelsea do not target any position this season they can wait until next season. It's just that we don't know whether Pochettino is still trusted to handle Chelsea next season or he is still given another opportunity.

Since the last 2 seasons Chelsea have spent $1 billion to bring in players while the income from releasing players is $300 million I doubt Chelsea will not prepare any more budget for the transfer window next season unless Chelsea release more players first then spend it back. One thing we understand that spending a lot of money is not a guarantee for success.

When Galatasaray failed in the Champions League then they had to have another target and the Turkish League was the next target, I don't know which team will win because I think the chances 50:50 when compared on a head to head Galatasaray wins matches more often at least in the last 2 matches, both home and away, maybe Galatasaray can win again today. This is a match for the top of the standings then the two teams will fight each other and score lots of goals and usually the average total goal is 3 goals or more.

Fenerbahce sometimes has a poor defense while Galatasaray is the most active in scoring goals so we can imagine that the chance of over goals here is quite good
But if this match end in a draw then Fenerbahce will remain at the top of the standings because of the goal difference.

Indeed, there is no change in the top standings but I mean, because this match is played at Liverpool's home, Liverpool should be able to take advantage and getting 3 points means Liverpool will rise to the top of the standings but here Arsenal can maintain their position by bringing one point. Liverpool have wasted opportunities in the last 2 matches with 2 draws that's lucky for Arsenal, right? if Liverpool wins these 2 matches then Arsenal will be 3 points behind but this is what happened just play a draw and the opportunity is gone.

In the next match Arsenal had another challenge against West Ham, even though Arsenal is playing at home but West Ham is on fire they could be a threat
Meanwhile, Liverpool faced an easier club Burley here Liverpool again has an opportunity to take over the standings can Liverpool do it?

On paper Liverpool are much better and more experienced but this time Leverkusen came in a different way they underwent several competencies with perfect results of course this is worth considering and after my observations both teams are still at the same level this season. Oh yes, several teams have just come to this competition through the Champions League I mean the clubs that were eliminated in the Champions League will take their place here, such as Milan, Benfica and Galatasaray do they have a chance here?

Milan and Galatasaray eliminated from the champions league for being in the hell group and for experience there is no need to doubt obviously they have it
With the arrival of these new clubs, the strength in the European League will change maybe the champion candidate is here, who knows.

Yes, Girona is a solid team at the moment, no matter who the opponent is, when the opposing team comes to play away, they have to be prepared to lose that's how Girona collects points from every match. I know Atletico Madrid is not an easy team to beat but Girona can do the same to Barcelona a few weeks ago so of course they can also beat Atletico Madrid. If this match was played at Atletico Madrid's home, maybe I would have a different opinion but because this is at Girona's home anything is possible.

La Liga is undergoing free competition until next week and Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla is the closing match of the year, we have got the top 4 teams maybe this is an illustration of the final results of this season and Girona as newcomers to the Champions League meanwhile, Real Sociedad must go down to the European League unless they can win the Champions League this season.
