Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Arsenal are temporarily back to the top of the table

So am not the only one thing Arsenal being in first position is just temporary? It happened to Arsenal last season, Arsenal stayed at the first position from the beginning of since till when the league was about to end before they dropped from first position, nobody believed Arsenal won’t be winning the premier league last season, until they started performing poorly, and Manchester city took over the first position from them. Arsenal are back to first position, let’s just hope they will be able to stay in first position till ending of the season, let’s hope this season will be different from previous seasons.

I think this sounds better because they are yet to be strongly placed at the top of the table, they could still be displaced soonest from the top of the table so currently they are temporarily at the top pending when they will be able to stay at the top with at least six points ahead of the teams at the second position then I can say for sure they are at the top.

The point difference is still really close, any mistake from Arsenal, then they will drop from the first position, Arsenal should do everything possible to win all their subsequent matches, that’s they only way they will be able to maintain their first position, let’s hope arsenal will be able to do that, Manchester city and Liverpool are not giving up, the point difference is still close.

In essence, the title competition this season has become very interesting because after all, this moment is approaching the end of the season but the top three teams are still consistent with good results in each match. Unlike in previous seasons, when approaching the end of the season the teams in the title race experienced bad results because they were unable to maintain their good consistency. Therefore, because at this moment the three teams are still very consistent with impressive performance, then yes, of course there is still nothing certain about the team that will win the trophy . Because anyway, at this moment they are still equally capable of getting good results in every match but somehow, I really like the performance of Liverpool and also Arsenal.

Chelsea vs Newcastle

both of these teams are actually the same as having a performance that is not much different but Chelsea is more down because it has a lot of injured players and some important players like Nkunku and some defender players who are currently past the healing period while Newcastle does not lose too many players who are injured but loss of attacking players like Callum Wilson and Joelinton is not good news even Newcastle also lost its mainstay goalkeeper Nick Pope.
but Newcastle still has many advantages when Alexander Isak can still appear Newcastle situation will be fine in terms of scoring scores will not be doubted and on the one hand Anthony Gordon can also be an Alexander Isak pair to bringing chemistry together and score a winning score.

whereas Chelsea still have Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, but these two players I doubt to be able to beat Newcastle because Newcastle is currently the defense has improved stronger than before compared to Chelsea only has a weaker defense.
while from H2H the two teams have the same advantage but Chelsea are only able to get one victory and the rest are only draw and Newcastle wins.
although the bookmaker of betting features Chelsea, but I still believe that Newcastle will win if it is lucky but more surely the draw will definitely happen because the two teams have the same performance and at least the two teams are equally scored.

[KTChampions]

From what I saw in the first half, City was stronger, and in the second half, Liverpool, and significantly. This is what caused the replacement of KDB - the weakling Guardiola wanted to keep at least a draw. It’s a pity that Liverpool couldn’t punish them, but on the other hand, this draw is in favor of Arsenal, which is also not bad - now the two clubs are above City and I’m completely happy with that.

That is how it is meant to be. They are both strong teams so the possession shouldn't be on one side it should be shared equally between both teams. However, Liverpool missed so many opportunities which i expected. The conclusion has been drawn that Arsenal would be the team to win the EPL title. Since Manchester City has failed to win Liverpool and Vice Versa. Arsenal is at the top and they wont lose any game to drop any point. They aee more ready to win the EPL title this season.

My point is that this was not a fight between two equally strong clubs. Liverpool as a whole turned out to be stronger (unfortunately this was not reflected in the score), it’s like the last quarter in basketball or the champions rounds in boxing. By the end of the game, Liverpool's advantage was clear.
At the same time, City continues to be considered the favorite for the title (I am sure of this, although I have not yet seen the updated quotes). Arsenal have the most difficult calendar of games, but they also have a chance.

Yes, if you look at the remaining schedule, the road for Arsenal is very tough, the hope of winning a trophy this season seems difficult to realize unless they are able to perform strongly in every match until the season is over. The Gunners' strength will be tested in their next meeting against Manchester City, this match is a "semi-determining" match to make things easier if they are able to beat City. In a situation like that, it is very clear that mentality is a strong bet, Arteta must be able to provide an injection of morale for his young troops so that they don't slip up like last season.

I think all teams still have the same chance of winning the EPL this season, indeed at the moment maybe Arsenal are the most doubtful team to win and the claim I think does not come from a problem only about the remaining games but instead I see from the consistency and also the depth of the squad they have at the moment, if we talk about the chances of Arsenal difficult to win just because they still have games left against big teams,  Don't Liverpool also still have at least 5 big teams that also present the potential for defeat for them in the remaining matches?


So with Manchester City who actually began to look no longer have dominance after yesterday draw with Liverpool, indeed Arsenal will face Manchester City in the following week and I think we also do not know what the match will end like, besides that if you think Arsenal will have difficulties in the game against Manchester City, Shouldn't you too  assume if Manchester City will also meet a tough opponent in the match?
At the moment it is too early for us to underestimate Arsenal because I think the possibility of Arsenal making a surprise could happen before the season is really over.

[Docnaster]

Arsenal, which immediately benefited from the draw experienced by Liverpool vs Manchester City yesterday, also still has to be taken into account by these two teams because Arsenal is also a very extraordinary team this season. Although at the moment I don't think that Arsenal will be able to win the Premier League this season even though it could be possible for Arsenal as they are in the top position they are in.

There's no win either for Liverpool and Manchester City that escape and settled for a draw tie. If there's a manager that enjoyed that draw tie between Liverpool and Manchester City would be Pep Guardiola. Arsenal are topping with goal difference against Liverpool but it doesn't change anything, did it? Gunners have been doing exceptionally brilliant in past matches and they have come a long way to just give up. They are elite team and these teams are disciplined, bringing on the very best to entertain their supporters.

Patiently awaiting anticipating to see Gunners contend for the title? They are an exceptional team, but they will only scratch the surface when the major occurrence comes along. Liverpool and Manchester City are the true challengers because they have performed effectively, despite the fact that the Gunners are now leading the standings. Are Arsenal poised to win the EPL title this season? I don't think they're a chance team for the EPL title this season since they've simply exhibited a passing interest, and this is completely out of balance for the club.

Arsenal for a fact haven't won the English Premier League title since they last won it in 2004 even when they've come very close to win on several occasions but still ended up without the title. Last season in the English Premier League, Arsenal were simply the better team in most parts of the season and were very close to winning the league title that's eluded them for 19 good years but still failed to continue their impressive performance till the end of the season. I think these are the reasons why most of you think that Arsenal do not stand a good chance of winning the English Premier League title this season but as someone who's been following the proceedings at the club since the start of the season, I think I have a different perspective to what most of you think of them.

Arsenal this season started the season on a very good note and was even leading the league table at some point before they started underperforming which made other clubs to overtake them in the league table but there's something I'm seeing from this Arsenal team that I haven't seen from them since 2004 and that's the spirit of resilience ajd the desire to keep fighting without losing hope. The other times they lost the league when they initially were at the top of the table, they never fought back to climb at top after losing the top spot but this season, they've been able to fight back and reclaim the top spot even after losing it.

To majority people, Liverpool and Manchester City will always be the favorites to win the league table which I don't have anything against anyone's opinion but i also think that Arsenal is in a very strong competition to win the league this season.

[Mayor of ogba]

This season Arteta's Arsenal are showing much more mature and serious soccer than they did a year ago. Many games Arsenal just destroys the opponent, scoring 3-4-5-6 unanswered goals, but everyone has doubts in the championship of Arsenal, because the end of the season, Arsenal unlike City usually fails and this season, for the first time in many years Arsenal has a chance to break away from the pursuers and win the EPL.

Arsenal are back at the top. It's intriguing to see Arsenal leading the pack at this stage.
It is a testament to the beautiful unpredictability of football.
Everything is in store for The Gunners, bringing all the noise, and Arsenal must at least maintain the challenge until May
instead of the usual decline in performance at the end of the season.
But Liverpool and The City are still in the title race, and I can feel that Liverpool or The City will win the title at the end of the season

Arsenal put on a good fight against Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title this season. Arsenal deserves to be at the top of the Premier League table because they have been consistent this season. If Arsenal corrects their mistakes this season by winning against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, they will win the Premier League trophy this season.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Arsenal seem to be the favorites for the Premier League title at the moment. Especially after their 3-1 win over Liverpool a few days ago, I think Arsenal have a squad worthy of winning the title this season. Arsenal players are performing well. And this team has the ability to score a lot and win by big margins.

Indeed Arsenal beat Liverpool in the last match but in January Liverpool also beat Arsenal so I thought it could not confirm who was more powerful because it beat each other but there is a note that we must remember that when Liverpool are defeated they don't play with full squad because some players are injured. For this week/month Arsenal do seem better they lead in total goals and conceding less it's just that I worry they are unstable as I said before we know that Arsenal sometimes waste important matches towards the end of the season, based on history Arsenal have do it in the last 2 seasons.

I still remain in the initial prediction that I favored Liverpool as champions this season, I know they are in an injury storm but yesterday's match can prove that Liverpool can overcome stronger opponents they did not lose points against Manchester City. I hope Liverpool can recover in the near future, especially against Arsenal at the end of the season.

[SOKO-DEKE]

It was the best possible result for Gunners. Liverpool and Manchester City drew and Arsenal ended the week in the lead. It's been a long time since they were in the lead. I hope we can see them here at the end of the season.
Honestly, I still see City ahead of others. The match on March 31st will affect the fate of the league. Arsenal had a great form, but the national break is coming, this may affect them negatively.

Manchester city would have be the team to lead in the premier league table if not that their coach made some mistakes to changed De Bruyne in the first half, and it make the match to be difficult for their strikers to have access to Liverpool goalpost again. And Liverpool really feel the match in their home, because many people thought that they will use home advantage to defeat Manchester city to continue leading the table but Manchester city surprised people to first Liverpool to scored the first goal in the first half before Liverpool manage to equalized the goal in the second half to draw the match 1-1. I don't think, Arsenal will stay long in that position because some teams will lose points in their next match that will give Manchester city the opportunity to take the position back again.

Both teams gave excellent performances, but I was particularly impressed with Liverpool's play because they created a lot of opportunities but failed to take advantage of them. L.Diaz played a wonderful game, so I wasn't surprised that he was awarded as a man of the match. I knew he had several chances to score even a hatrick, but he missed them, but that's how football is sometimes.
Arsenal is leading Liverpool by a goal difference and leading Manchester city with 1 point, and now they will face Manchester City in their next match, but is there hope for Arsenal to defeat Manchester city? This is going to be a challenging game, but I pray that it will be a great opportunity for Manchester City to top the big Premier League table.

I knew that the match was not going to be easy for either team, and seriously, both teams played to my satisfaction. Both teams created a lot of good chances to score, but they were not just lucky to convert those chances into goals, so if I have to judge them, I will say that the level of performance was the same. In fact, drawing was what many people thought would happen, and that is what later happened yesterday.
 
Now that the Arsenal match is going to be against Manchester City, honestly, it will also not be an easy match for both teams,but from my point of view, I will say Arsenal will be the team that will likely drop points, or probably both teams will draw points by ending up in a draw. The reason why I said that Manchester City will be the favorite team to win the games is because they are the team hosting the game, the match will be played in Manchester City stadium, and they will have an advantage to perform extra well to impress their fans. 

[BALIK]

So with Manchester City who actually began to look no longer have dominance after yesterday draw with Liverpool, indeed Arsenal will face Manchester City in the following week and I think we also do not know what the match will end like, besides that if you think Arsenal will have difficulties in the game against Manchester City, Shouldn't you too  assume if Manchester City will also meet a tough opponent in the match?
At the moment it is too early for us to underestimate Arsenal because I think the possibility of Arsenal making a surprise could happen before the season is really over.

There's no underestimating the Arsenal team at the moment. In the past matches we have seen that Arsenal have won most of the matches by big margins. Arsenal players have the ability to break down any team's defence. Arsenal's attacking players are also in very good form right now.

It is foolish to think that Manchester City will win against Arsenal. Arsenal won the match against Liverpool 3-1. Arsenal's players were confident despite the strong opposition. And managed to get 3 points from the match. So I think even though Manchester City is a strong team, they have a big chance of dropping points against Arsenal.

[Justbillywitt]

You say that Manchester City will easily beat Arsenal?
It doesn't seem to be the case, Arsenal is a top team that is fighting for the title this season just like Manchester City and Arsenal also have everything so they cannot be underestimated so Manchester City's match against Arsenal is actually a significant difficulty for Manchester City, a match for a top team in fact will be fierce and difficult to predict.

Manchester City's draw against Liverpool is quite fair for both of them because these two teams have almost the same strength, and this is also proof that the Liverpool team cannot be underestimated just because many of their main players are absent, the top teams have equal quality in all players so that will not interfere with the team's performance, as has been shown by Liverpool.

City lost Ederson in the match with Liverpool, this could be a big problem for Guardiola, if he misses at least a few matches due to injury, except for the fight in the Premier League, City is now entering a very important period in the Champions League and losing their main goalkeeper could be a very big problem. This is also true for the match against Arsenal, given how well Arteta has built the team's attack. I can say with confidence that the fight in the Premier League is just beginning.

That's very sad for Manchester City to lose their goalkeeper Ederson in this match. Manchester City is racing in the Chmpanios League and they should defend their title in this tournament and other than the Champions League they have a race with Arsenal and Liverpool which can put this team under too much pressure but not having their goalkeeper Ederson can be dangerous for this team.
In the game against Liverpool, Ederson had a good performance but the player from Liverpool, Núñez hame him injured and he gave his place to Stefan Ortega.
Ortega also had a good performance in the game but after the game finished Guardiola said they didn't have any information about the situation of Ederson yet however, his situation is worrying.

Nathan Ake is to be blamed for Ederson injury, the pass he gave to Ederson was very short and the the goal keeper had to rush out to prevent Liverpool Darwin Nunez from scoring but unfortunately he collided with him and injured his leg. I really wish it's nothing serious and probably won't keep him out for a long time. At this crucial time of the season Manchester City needs Ederson to be fit and help them compete at all front. Ortega was very handy as he made several saves to prevent Liverpool from taking the lead in the game.

But Liverpool and The City are still in the title race, and I can feel that Liverpool or The City will win the title at the end of the season

After seeing Liverpool and City draw, Arsenal seemed to creep into first place. I think this could be their year to overcome the end-of-season blues and fight for the title. We all know Liverpool and City handle pressure well as May approaches, but Arteta might rewrite Arsenal's story. Staying focused and taking it one game at a time is key, and with point differential so small, every match may be a final.

The elephant in the room is Klopp and Guardiola's experience. These guys have experienced every football scenario. Im interested how Arteta will handle this. Managing European competitions and keeping the squad healthy and motivated is not just about the Premier League. Arsenal's current form could lead to a surprising season ending if they can keep it up.

Making predictions like this for Arsenal just because Manchester City and Liverpool drew earlier I think is too rash and even tends to be too naive because after all, at the moment their points are still the same as Liverpool and only 1 point different from Manchester City who are in third place at the moment.

In addition, we also have to see that Arsenal's schedule in the remaining matches for the EPL is still quite difficult because some big clubs they still have to fight including with Chelsea and Manchester City this month although most likely the Arsenal Chelsea match will be postponed temporarily.
It is true that consistency can sometimes provide answers, it's just that in this case we also know Arsenal's disease in recent seasons is the increase and decrease in performance that is sometimes never expected and that could be one of the problems they have not been able to overcome until now and I still believe that until now Manchester City and Liverpool still have the biggest chance to win and Arsenal are only complementary and the chance is below Liverpool and Manchester City.

From what i have seen during the game that if city's players very often in making in accurate pass. It's started with rodri which was always too slow when he was passing the ball. Alvarez is a total flop in this game since he was only giving advantage to the manchester city through his inaccurate pass. It must be noted that if alvarez totally failed in this game.
Still wondering why pep gave him time to play for so long in this match when he was also very often in making blunder that might be costing the club a lot. Glad god was helping city to avoid the bad results from alvarez's blunder.

I hoped pep to replace alvarez when he showed very bad passing, but it was not happening. Im still very disappointed so caused by i was not willing to see the draw as the final result from this match. Manchester city is now having two competitors for EPL title.
The club needs to enhance its performance thoroughly for better performance in the upcoming game. Im feeling very bad with city missed the golden chances a few times.

I counter that city have got two shoots were hitting the bar. Doku was almost helping city to win the game through his shoot but it's not able going to the back of the net. It is deflected back after it hit the bar. The game was entertaining but manchester city are so wasteful in this game.

[Velvet78]

Officials can be dead in the head at times and it's football, it happened already and can we do something about it to reverse that incident? I do t think so.
The match official also protected Kyle Walker for his reckless challenge twice yesterday. He should have been red carded if he had stepped on Luiz Diaz yesterday but good he made wise decisions while tracking back and defending.

It was clear penalty, that wrong and short pass from Nathan Ake kept Manchester City in that situation. Ake has never really been a bad player actually but I do think it was due to the high pressure from Liverpool that made him kae that lose decision.
Virgil Van Dirk and the others made sure to keep Erling Haaland silent. I think this is a tactical approach for Arteta to also prepare for Manchester City next week. I'm coming to believe that Manchester City cannot beat Arsenal. You think so also?

Yeah there is nothing to do about the decision from now on. But this kind of mistakes made by the referees are really frustrating. Even while you have a VAR system in your hands you are still making simple mistakes...

van Dijk was really good in this game. I didn't see Haaland being able to do anything as well. When it comes to the Manchester City - Arsenal game I'm not feeling the same about it. I know Arsenal beat them in their previous game in the league. Manchester City have been winning the games against Arsenal at Etihad for many years. I think this series won't end by this game too. But honestly I would really like to see Arsenal getting some points from Manchester City. 

[LGD2Business]

The Premier League continues with one match on Monday. Even if Chelsea wins this match, they cannot catch up with Newcastle United, there is a 4 point difference between them. Chelsea couldn't win the last 5 matches they played with Newcastle United. It wouldn't be a surprise if they don't win this time either. Newcastle United is also a team with unbalanced results. They were very good last season, but they are going very fluctuating this season. Betting on sides would be risky for this match. I think both teams can score goals.

[GigaBit]

So with Manchester City who actually began to look no longer have dominance after yesterday draw with Liverpool, indeed Arsenal will face Manchester City in the following week and I think we also do not know what the match will end like, besides that if you think Arsenal will have difficulties in the game against Manchester City, Shouldn't you too  assume if Manchester City will also meet a tough opponent in the match?
At the moment it is too early for us to underestimate Arsenal because I think the possibility of Arsenal making a surprise could happen before the season is really over.

There's no underestimating the Arsenal team at the moment. In the past matches we have seen that Arsenal have won most of the matches by big margins. Arsenal players have the ability to break down any team's defence. Arsenal's attacking players are also in very good form right now.

It is foolish to think that Manchester City will win against Arsenal. Arsenal won the match against Liverpool 3-1. Arsenal's players were confident despite the strong opposition. And managed to get 3 points from the match. So I think even though Manchester City is a strong team, they have a big chance of dropping points against Arsenal.

Arsenal were unlucky as they came very close to the trophy last year but came back. I was very optimistic about the team's performance last season but suddenly it lost its rhythm towards the end. But I definitely don't think they will make that kind of mistake this season. Moreover, the team is in great form. They have the ability to beat current leading team Liverpool. There is no point difference between Arsenal and Liverpool at the moment. I believe anything can happen at any time if Arsenal don't make any mistakes. If Arsenal somehow manage to win the match on the 31st march, I don't think any team can beat them this season. How Arsenal have won two matches this week. They won by 6-0 and 2-1 difference. According to the current performance, we are definitely optimistic about the team.

[EarnOnVictor]

It was the best possible result for Gunners. Liverpool and Manchester City drew and Arsenal ended the week in the lead. It's been a long time since they were in the lead. I hope we can see them here at the end of the season.
Honestly, I still see City ahead of others. The match on March 31st will affect the fate of the league. Arsenal had a great form, but the national break is coming, this may affect them negatively.

Manchester city would have be the team to lead in the premier league table if not that their coach made some mistakes to changed De Bruyne in the first half, and it make the match to be difficult for their strikers to have access to Liverpool goalpost again. And Liverpool really feel the match in their home, because many people thought that they will use home advantage to defeat Manchester city to continue leading the table but Manchester city surprised people to first Liverpool to scored the first goal in the first half before Liverpool manage to equalized the goal in the second half to draw the match 1-1. I don't think, Arsenal will stay long in that position because some teams will lose points in their next match that will give Manchester city the opportunity to take the position back again.

Both teams gave excellent performances, but I was particularly impressed with Liverpool's play because they created a lot of opportunities but failed to take advantage of them. L.Diaz played a wonderful game, so I wasn't surprised that he was awarded as a man of the match. I knew he had several chances to score even a hatrick, but he missed them, but that's how football is sometimes.
Arsenal is leading Liverpool by a goal difference and leading Manchester city with 1 point, and now they will face Manchester City in their next match, but is there hope for Arsenal to defeat Manchester city? This is going to be a challenging game, but I pray that it will be a great opportunity for Manchester City to top the big Premier League table.

I knew that the match was not going to be easy for either team, and seriously, both teams played to my satisfaction. Both teams created a lot of good chances to score, but they were not just lucky to convert those chances into goals, so if I have to judge them, I will say that the level of performance was the same. In fact, drawing was what many people thought would happen, and that is what later happened yesterday.
 
Now that the Arsenal match is going to be against Manchester City, honestly, it will also not be an easy match for both teams,but from my point of view, I will say Arsenal will be the team that will likely drop points, or probably both teams will draw points by ending up in a draw. The reason why I said that Manchester City will be the favorite team to win the games is because they are the team hosting the game, the match will be played in Manchester City stadium, and they will have an advantage to perform extra well to impress their fans. 

You are on point and it shows the right restraints and balance that players should endeavour to exercise in betting games like that. Even if I am a fan of either of the two clubs, I would only support them with mouth and action but still abstain from betting on their match just like I did yesterday. Lo and behold, the match was so tough and it was as expected, and thanks to my retraints as it saved my money because I mostly bet on winnings. The draw would have been a total loss for me. Although I saw enough gambling sites believing Man City would win and giving them better odds. But that was not obviously coming forth in my opinion and more reason why we should not be using odds to bet like some would do. My unwavering analysis of the two clubs can't make me doubt judging by their current feats and their antecedents when it comes to resilience in football and the times they have met, I would not dare to take a side.

Anfield is the stronghold of Liverpool, this is more reason why I believe that Man City can only beat them with luck. More review shows that the ball possession is even at the side of Liverpool, and the pass accuracy too, so they are determined in the game However, Liverpool should still work on their firepower, if not for the penalty issued to them, it could have been a different story. The goal of Man City by Stones was early enough too, I guess Liverpool never expected the pressure at first but later woke up to the change, it was after this that things levelled up for both teams.

Above all, both sides did well and I love them for it. As for the coming Man City vs Arsenal match, I wouldn't view it the way you view it, I am rather taking a straight winning for Man City. Arsenal, though on the top of the table, I still believe they would drop because they are not my favourite to win based on speculations. Man City would win Arsenal for real even as the external forecasts I see today show a huge difference in the team with Man City preferring to win, which also buttresses my pick.

[3meek]

The Premier League continues with one match on Monday. Even if Chelsea wins this match, they cannot catch up with Newcastle United, there is a 4 point difference between them. Chelsea couldn't win the last 5 matches they played with Newcastle United. It wouldn't be a surprise if they don't win this time either. Newcastle United is also a team with unbalanced results. They were very good last season, but they are going very fluctuating this season. Betting on sides would be risky for this match. I think both teams can score goals.

I think both teams will score here, but I also think Newcastle won't lose... They are roughly equal teams now, but Chelsea's recent results have been worse than Newcastle's... The teams are also close in the standings, but if Newcastle win, they will be able to fight for the Euro zone...

[Smartvirus]

Yeah there is nothing to do about the decision from now on. But this kind of mistakes made by the referees are really frustrating. Even while you have a VAR system in your hands you are still making simple mistakes...

I think the officiating yesterday was good, both the on field and off field decisions. There was very little need for the VAR yesterday when Liverpool played Manchester City. Micheal Oliver took timely and appropriate decision when he whistled.

It was undoubtedly a penalty offense from Emerson and that was called out really early as it ought to. It was as a result of a mounting pressure as Liverpool was clearly the dominant side yesterday, I’ve never seen such a terrified Manchester City team like they played yesterday.

The result was justifiable though and best still for Arsenal.

Chelsea in terms of quality players ranks among the best teams in the English Premier League but they've not been able to maximize their quality players and bring out the best from them and that's why they've been struggling since over the last two seasons. After the club management signed Mauricio Pochentino to become the club manager last summer, I was of the opinion that Chelsea is eventually going to get better than last season but considering their current position in the league table, it's absolutely clear that they even had a better campaign last season than they're doing this season. The club management have tried in signing quality players to club but they also must device a means to make sure these quality footballers also help the team to improve significantly im their performance

Later tonight at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will host Newcastle for their match week 27 and must win the game to increase their chances of finishing the season in the top half. Chelsea with the kind of players they have aren't supposed to be struggling in the bottom half of the league table at this time of the season but that is their current reality. It's almost impossible for them to finish the season in a position that'll guarantee them European football next season but I still think they can finish the season in the top half of the league table. In their game against Newcastle United tonight, I'll be rooting for Mauricio Pochentino's men to claim all three points from that game
