Premier League Round 9

Arsenal have a tougher game to go through than Tottenham Hotspur. All these games are also London derbies, I do not expect easy wins from any of them clubs.
Arsenal would be away trying to break down Pochetino and his lads finding them way to the top after three successful wins with two coming from the Premier League games.

Yes, the Arsenal match will be more difficult than the Tottenham match, but as you mentioned, they are both London derbies, and it has always been a difficult match since all of the clubs in London want to win in order to maintain their pride.

The Arsenal vs. Chelsea match will be unpredictable, but I expect Arsenal to win because of their form since last season, and regardless of Arsenal or Chelsea's form, Arsenal has won Chelsea for more than four matches lately. Statistics from their last five matches show that Arsenal won four of them, and with this hunger in Arsenal to win the Premier League, I don't expect them to lose against Chelsea, especially since they are trying to maintain consistency in order to prevent Tottenham from passing them in the title race.

Tottenham Hotspur against Fulham! This also would be a tough derby, they've both met this season on the 29th of August with the game ending as a draw. Fulham though got to win on penalties to knock them off during the EFL Cup Competition.

I don't expect Tottenham to lose the match as well, especially as they lost to Fulham United in penalties in their last EFL Cup, and Tottenham this season are very good because they are now topping the Premier League table with a goal difference ahead of Arsenal; therefore, they will not like to lose the match.

To make it safe both Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham and Chelsea - Arsenal should end as a draw. Lol.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur and Gunners are my final predictions to take three points home.

Draw can be possible in Chelsea vs Arsenal Match but I don't expect a draw in Tottenham Match.

[posi]

Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool are Arsenal's main rivals for the Premier League title this season. Arsenal will need to perform better and remain unbeaten than the aforementioned teams if they want to win the PL title of 2023/2024

Yeah that's true but in as much as Tottenham is still the first on the table I don't really see them as a big threat for arsenal team but however the major threat I'm seeing them have is Manchester City and Liverpool because even considering there performance whenever Arsenal meet either Manchester City or Liverpool is always tough on them.

But with the injured players of Manchester City there performance will still be a bit low and if arsenal should maintain there performance and Saka coming back from the injury there chances of consistent wining will be very high because Bukayo Saka is one of there key player that his absent could be easily noticed, but however without Bukayo Saka coming back, it will be very difficult for any player among them to play the role of Bukayo Saka.

I think Manchester city is still the favorite for me. Liverpool and Arsenal will cause problem for Manchester city even though Manchester city look unusually vulnerable after back-to-back league losses and haven't got anywhere near top gear in the first weeks of the season. Liverpool have started positively well. In fact, they have enough winnable games to raise the possibility they could lead the way come Christmas.  

Arsenal have been decent since last season and I know they’ll keep up with their performance after finally ending their Manchester city hoodoo in the EPL with that memorable win. They’ll now grow with that confidence and see out the remaining games.
Tottenham doesn’t really have that clutch yet to maintain this form for long. They’ve not tasted a rough path yet; injuries and they’ve faced 3 of the bottom teams which I don’t see as a threat.
However, if they can continue to accumulate wins, they still have a chance of still being top of the table in December.

Agreed, even though Manchester City actually lost two matches in a row, I still think that they are very much capable of making a recovery from this situation. We are always rating Arsenal very highly and they definitely deserve that. But the question again comes to the one situation. Are they going to be consistent at the end of the season? This time if they make any mistake, they are going to be multiple opponents taking advantage of that. Last season, it was only Manchester City. This competition is a lot harder with many teams competing for the English Premier League title.

[piebeyb]

On the Arsenal side, I have no doubts about the quality and depth of Arteta squad this season, I know the Gunners are unbeaten this season, and even the victory over Man City is still worth celebrating. However, the competition for the top four in the standings will be even more exciting and interesting if Arsenal loses for the first time. For me it's not embarrassing at all to lose to Chelsea, when compared to Wolves victory over Man City.

In my opinion, Chelsea hasn't played well even though they have won twice in a row, but usually Chelsea always surprises them when they meet a top opponent with a favorite club, I'm not sure Chelsea can beat Arsenal, it could be a draw because both of them are equally strong and want victory, Pochettino must organize and pressure Chelsea so as not to lose any more points against Arsenal later.

Playing as hosts, of course Chelsea must be able to hold a draw or get the full three points, as we also know Arsenal are unbeaten in the last five matches but they could get the full three points even though they play as guests, of course they will try to maintain their position in top of the standings and shifting Tottenham also away from Manchester City.

Draw can be possible in Chelsea vs Arsenal Match but I don't expect a draw in Tottenham Match.

  Arsenal have won Manchester City in their last EPL game and would be looking to have another win against Chelsea in a derby match after the international break, the thing is that Arsenal are the most favourites to win the game based on their current performance however it's a derby game and winning against Chelsea won't come very easy cause the team have began to improve better than they used to play when the league began.

 Well I also think that there's a possibility for both teams to draw the game, Chelsea might not be at the top of the league currently like Arsenal but they're not to be underestimated, after their performance against Burnley I think they've progressed in their form and might give Arsenal a tough challenge.

[BALIK]

With the loss against Arsenal I hope Manchester City won't pour their anger on their next opponent (Brighton) and make them pay for what the gunners did to them before going to the international break. Pep isn't in a good to lose any game as it is, but can any opponent withstand the pressure of City after losing straight 2 games? I don't think things will be fine for any opponent facing Man City at the moment. Brighton on the other hand are seriously losing form and I can't say they'll look weak against City, it might be like a surprise to Pep if the game end in a draw and I'm having that feeling that City can't break through the Brighton defense that easy.

The team's performance after the international break is likely to be somewhat erratic. And so it cannot be said for sure whether City will win against Brighton. Manchester City is already under a lot of pressure after losing two matches in a row. And against Brighton they need to get 3 points by any means. If not, the team will be far behind Arsenal in the title fight. But Brighton are not a weak team. They have a very strong squad. And this season also the performance of this team is quite good. However, Brighton lost points in the last two matches. This match is equally important for both the teams. That's why it won't be easy for City to get 3 points from this match. I guess the match will be a 2-2 draw.

[Stepstowealth]

I don't expect a draw in Tottenham Match.

Tottenham's coach and player both won the award for best coach and player for the last month, they are in a good position to win that game with that kind of confidence. It is also a home game so they have the extra advantage in the game. It is not like Fulham will not be able to play well or even pose a threat, but I just see that Fulham lost a key component of their goal scoring attackers since Mitrovic left the club to move to Saudi. Tottenham also know what is at risk if they do not win that game, they risk loosing the top spot on the table that they are trying to hang on to.

[beerlover]

Everton is in a real danger of relegation during this season and surely with such form they do not stand a chance to hold back Liverpool.It is in such games against weak opponents that the Premier League title is won or lost as we saw last year Arsenal losing the title by leaving points against such teams and because of this I think that Liverpool will not underestimate their opponents and be able to win this game.

Arsenal did beat City and in the direct clash they have an advantage so far but they should not repeat the same mistake as last year when they lost the title by losing points against weaker teams.

Every constant position and action have changed this season, there's alot to watch because average and elite teams portrayed their very best performance this season. Last season, they suffered and had a narrow escape sitting 17th position. Everton stats this season, 2W 1D 5L which happens to be one of their poorest start this season. The Toffees headcoach, Sean Dyche would implement more golden opportunities inother to secure an important spot on EPL table. This new week, they will face Liverpool and we hope for the very best for an average team like the Everton.

I agree that it is not as easy as previous years and there are few teams that are doing way better than people expected. Spurs are leading the league unexpectedly, City near the top as expected, Arsenal as well, but Liverpool not doing that badly and close by as well,  these are all important.

Sure, people expected a lot more from United and Newcastle and Chelsea, those three were the disappointments of the season so far and I am expecting them to do a bit better after the national break and get some good results but that doesn't mean that we are going to get them to play better that easily. They are getting closer, were even worse, but I still think that there needs to be something bigger changing for them to have good results by the end.

[Marykeller]

Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool are Arsenal's main rivals for the Premier League title this season. Arsenal will need to perform better and remain unbeaten than the aforementioned teams if they want to win the PL title of 2023/2024

They don't need to go unbeaten because these teams you mentioned will also lose matches just as Arsenal will; if they really want to win the League this season, they have to win the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea just the way they win Manchester United and Manchester City, and they need consistency and avoid losing unnecessary matches.

Winning Chelsea will be very easy for Arsenal this season, because Chelsea are not in better shape this season, and they are playing weakly, but if Chelsea is playing with a big team, they will perform very well, because I see when they play with Liverpool this season, they draw, and I thought Chelsea would be in good form this season, and they are not performing well, and they play poorly games if they are playing with small clubs, arsenal against Liverpool will be vexing games, because Liverpool are on a roll They have been playing well since the beginning of the season, and I believe they can defeat Arsenal because their players are in good shape this season and they are trying their hardest to top the table. If Arsenal makes any mistakes, Liverpool or Manchester City will top them again and it will be very difficult for them to top the table again.

Around December 21st, Liverpool and Arsenal will confront one another the first time of the season, which is expected to take place at Liverpool's stadium. By the way, it is not a game coming up soon. Nobody knows if Liverpool or Arsenal will still be in good form by that point. In the upcoming weekend, Arsenal will play Chelsea.

It is unknown which team will top the premier league standings in the upcoming months. As the case may be, it may be Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, or Liverpool. However, I remain optimistic that Manchester City or Arsenal will continue to lead the PL by then. Hands crossed

Right now I'm thinking about Manchester United's worries because they have a slightly busy match schedule but it's very worrying because maybe Manchester United will play away against Sheff Utd it won't be a big problem and maybe it's quite easy to get a win in that match but after a 3 day break they have to appear in the champions league against Copenhagen who currently have the same performance but have only lost once while Manchester United have lost twice.
After that, a 4 day break, Manchester United has to compete against the big club Manchester City and even though Manchester United will be the host, I am worried that the Manchester United players will run out of energy and lose again against Manchester City.

Sheffield United opponent teams next match is not problem for Manchester United but they have important match three days later in UEFA Champion League against Copenhagen, I don't sure if Erik ten Hag make bit rotation with their squad will easily winning against Sheffield United as Premier League teams not winning one match yet? Currently, Manchester United must take first three points in Champion League match and all out with their composition, if still not rotation against Sheffield United seems not sure with easily three points achievement against Copenhagen, have to loss next match in Premier League and get first three points in Champion League? or Manchester United will get winning against Sheffield United and Copenhagen.

Casemiro was rumoured to be Injured from the International duties games. That shouldn't be a problem only of they have someone solid enough to substitute him in midfied.
I honestly no longer expects magic to be performed by Manchester United, they get to win fine, they don't, still fine.
Since the Qateris have pulled out from buying Manchester United the club can go to hell because they suck after all of that huge offer.
The fans wants the Glazers gone, but they still want a buyer that still has them inside the club taking 5% and bullshit.

They fail to win against Copenhagen and the should be sent a clear warning that they will not qualify if they fail to win Copenhagen and the rest of the games in that group.

Premier League Round 9

Arsenal have a tougher game to go through than Tottenham Hotspur. All these games are also London derbies, I do not expect easy wins from any of them clubs.
Arsenal would be away trying to break down Pochetino and his lads finding them way to the top after three successful wins with two coming from the Premier League games.

Tottenham Hotspur will be playing against Fulham in their next match. Although it will be a challenging encounter for both teams, I am confident that Tottenham Hotspur will put all effort to keep their top spot and will not want to lose the game. Given how brilliantly Tottenham Hotspur is presently playing, and I am sure Fulham shouldn't be a club that they won't be able to defeat. I am sure Tottenham Hotspur will be able to win the match.

Arsenal is really in form and their performance is nice, but from the way Chelsea is playing lately, Arsenal is going to find it difficult to win Chelsea. I won't be surprised if the match ends in a draw. Pochetino will do everything to win the match or end the match in a draw. Let's see how the match goes, but I am not expecting a win from any of the clubs.

To make it safe both Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham and Chelsea - Arsenal should end as a draw. Lol.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur and Gunners are my final predictions to take three points home.

Arsenal match might end up as a draw, but I am expecting a win from Tottenham. Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated, their performance hasn't really been nice this season, but we all have seen improvement in their performance in their last few matches. They might end up surprising everyone in their next match against Arsenal. Even if Chelsea can't take three points home, then they should be able to go home with one point.

[QueenVera]

Sheffield United opponent teams next match is not problem for Manchester United but they have important match three days later in UEFA Champion League against Copenhagen, I don't sure if Erik ten Hag make bit rotation with their squad will easily winning against Sheffield United as Premier League teams not winning one match yet? Currently, Manchester United must take first three points in Champion League match and all out with their composition, if still not rotation against Sheffield United seems not sure with easily three points achievement against Copenhagen, have to loss next match in Premier League and get first three points in Champion League? or Manchester United will get winning against Sheffield United and Copenhagen.

Manchester united should be able to win games like this very easily but they been performing so badly to the point that you can't even tell if they'll win against any smaller teams again, they've managed to win against Brentford in their previous match and would be looking to secure another win again bit they have to be very careful with their defence and try do better than they did not to carelessly concede like they did against Brentford.

 United are performing very poorly in the Champions league and are yet to get a single point which is a very poor performance, I feel sorry for Eric Ten Hag cause  wonder how he'll be able to rotate his team now they're currently under injury crisis, well o believe he'll find  a possible way to win both games cause they can't afford to lose against Copenhagen and still need to try boost their position in te standings.

If Chelsea succeeds in beating Arsenal, the Blues will mark their comeback and end their current crisis of consistency, and hand Arsenal their first defeat. Reece James, Romeo Lavia and Axel Disasi are reported to be available again after recovering from injury, although they are still doubtful about being able to appear in the match against Arsenal. Pochettino will have a tough defensive line after experiencing a crisis so far, and acting as host at Stamford Bridge gives Chelsea another advantage. With Chelsea limited competition schedule this season due to missing the UCL and Europa League, Pochettino should be able to focus his attention this time, if successful Pochettino will be out of great pressure.

On the Arsenal side, I have no doubts about the quality and depth of Arteta squad this season, I know the Gunners are unbeaten this season, and even the victory over Man City is still worth celebrating. However, the competition for the top four in the standings will be even more exciting and interesting if Arsenal loses for the first time. For me it's not embarrassing at all to lose to Chelsea, when compared to Wolves victory over Man City.

You know, Chelsea will lose to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, that's what I think. Arsenal is a better team than Chelsea, home advantage will not make Chelsea beat Arsenal easily. Chelsea could have stopped Arsenal if Pochettino played a total defensive strategy, but Arsenal is an aggressive team when applying pressure.

Chelsea cannot rely on a strong defense to beat Arsenal if they do not have a good striker. Arsenal's defense is relatively strong but almost the same as Chelsea, but I believe Arsenal has a squad that is difficult to stop. If you expect Chelsea to win, that's your right, but I'm sure that won't happen.

[püsür]

Their matches are always hot and high-tension because this is also part of the pride they carry in a classic derby, it's just that for the problem of results it seems that we know what the final result in this match will be.
Everton are still very bad and indeed in the last few seasons they have always been like that because the conditions are still very uncertain, inversely proportional to Liverpool, which this season appears quite inpresive.
I don't even doubt the final result for Liverpool's victory and the stakes are quite clear in this match. but still I will watch this derby and wait for how the hot tension occurs.  

I am also quite sure that Liverpool will win this match, Liverpool has always been a very strong team when playing at Anfield this season, they have not been beaten at home, and in many matches, they are quite difficult to beat at Anfield, especially this season even though they have just had two bad results because they only got one point, but Liverpool was quite quick in returning to their best performance, moreover, their opponents this time were very poor in appearance and at least in the past three seasons, Everton has found it very difficult to compete in the English Premier League, they were only lucky to survive relegation twice.
Derby matches will always have high tension, Liverpool must be wary of provocations from opposing players which can cause them to get cards that could be detrimental later, especially this season they are one of the teams that has received quite a lot of red cards in particular, and that was one of the reasons why they lost to Tottenham.

In the last two seasons Liverpool have never lost to Everton. And I think last season when Liverpool was in inconsistent performance but they were still able to beat Everton. So this time or this season I also feel confident that Liverpool will win the battle again. I haven't seen any improvement from Everton this season. They are still the same as at the end of last season.

But a draw is still possible. I hope next week I can watch this match. Looks like I have to work faster so I can enjoy next week's match.

Liverpool team is far ahead of Everton in terms of team performance and experience of players. The Liverpool team has improved tremendously over the past few days so we can expect them to beat Button by a huge margin in their next match.

Liverpool's biggest deficiency is in midfield. Their midfield trio is made up of players who are technically gifted but have not lived up to their potential, and unfortunately they are far inferior in terms of toughness and physicality to the previous 'Live' midfield. The current players can bring energy and attrition, especially with Mac Allister, but toughness is another matter. It's a very daring midfield for the Premier League. Especially when your players are nowhere near their potential. A physical and strong player needs to be installed in that midfield immediately.

[baeva]

The London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal has been of a big interest to fans of both clubs over the years and this season's encounter isn't gonna be an exception.
Arsenal are currently on an impressive run as they're yet to lose a league game since the start of the season unlike their London rivals Chelsea who are currently sitting in the 11th position with just 11 points having already lost three matches this season. Chelsea however has convincingly won their last two League games and that I think gives the players of the team a belief that they can actually beat Arsenal next week Saturday. The game is slated to be played at Stamford Bridge the home of Chelsea and that makes it more interesting as Chelsea would want to be the first team to defeat Arsenal in the English Premier League this season.

If Chelsea succeeds in beating Arsenal, the Blues will mark their comeback and end their current crisis of consistency, and hand Arsenal their first defeat.

For me it's not embarrassing at all to lose to Chelsea, when compared to Wolves victory over Man City.

I'm more than confident that a win over Arsenal alone won't get the team back on track, or as many believe - they can fight for any top again. Yes, beating a team like that is a morale booster, but it's not enough and Chelsea still have too much work to do, I  think top 5 is even close to happening this season

Winning Arsenal would be a very big boost to the confidence level of Chelsea players but i think they might begin to suffer again after playing the next two matches cause they'll face Tottenham then Manchester City then Newcastle and Manchester United before facing Everton,  amongst all the stated names the clubs I know they could survive against is Everton and maybe Manchester due to their poor performance.

 The schedule ahead is very tough and I wonder how they'll be able to get past those three teams before Manchester United, if they lose against all three it might even make them drop form when they face Manchester United cause their morale could become weak after suffering three loses, however there coach Pouchettino request that Chelsea fans trust the process, I hope he trust In his team to win all tough fixtures ahead.

Arsenal are competitive for EPL title this season, we should expect the very best performance from Gunners because everything will work out smooth for them. Afterall they have one of the best competent coach, Mikel Arteta, he's not relenting as he wants the  best result for the team. Chelsea have experienced one of their terrible form last season, but this season is different as there would be high level of football from the blues this season. Mauricio Pochettino ensuring the team bounces back to winning levels because everything going to completely play out fine.

Yes, beating a team like that is a morale booster, but it's not enough and Chelsea still have too much work to do, I  think top 5 is even close to happening this season

I think this is the right momentum for Arsenal to be able to compete again for the title, Indeed the victory against Manchester City was only one match but this had a big impact on the mentality of the players so that they could be even more enthusiastic about the match.
On the other hand, facing Chelsea at this time will be another challenge even though there are still many who doubt Chelsea now but with their successive wins and the new formation with 3 strikers it makes them a little different and quite worthy of being wary of later.
Sterling's movement on the wing is quite troublesome and it is Arteta's job to find ways to reduce this player so that he is not as comfortable on the field.

Before anyone can talk about Chelsea giving an impressive performance in this Derby match against Arsenal next week Saturday let's pause and take a look comparing the consistency of these two teams throughout this EPL season. We can't say much about Chelsea having great consistency report going by the results of their total games played this season when in fact Arsenal have been able to keep the tide  despite their key players on injury they still managed to gain victory beating City in last weekends' game. And that victory by arsenal over Manchester City gives me the assurance that arsenal would have the three points at Standford bridge cause they are a team which their winning streaks  consistency isn't in doubt when matched with Chelsea despite playing at home.
