Arsenal - Brighton seems like an interesting one. Both sides started with two wins. On paper, Arsenal are a huge favourite of course. But I don't think it is worth betting on them for that low odds.  

Considering how productive they are, I think both teams to score could be a good option to bet on. Over 2.5 goals is also quite possible. I feel like Arsenal will win by 2-1. I hope they win before anything else. Because this season I want to see them going for the title for real. They tried twice but failed in both. However they got closer to making it every time. I hope they don't mess it up in the final moments again...

The match will be a very decisive match for both teams to secure their position at the top of the table, so far both teams have maximized two matches with an absolute victory which makes both currently occupy 2nd and 3rd positions in the Premier League standings, but so far Brighton has been surprisingly able to maintain their positive trend at the beginning of the league and it would even be very surprising if they were able to destroy Manchester United in the previous match,  So I think Brighton must be watched out for by Arsenal especially at the end of the match, I see that in the last two thier matches, Brighton was able to perform quite well and they continued to try to appear impressive until the end of the match so it demanded that Arsenal must remain focused until the final whistle sounded.
If we talk about head to head, of course Arsenal is superior to Brighton but I think still the match will be a difficult match for Arsenal.
My prediction is that the final score of the match will end with a narrow score of 1-0 or 2-1 for Arsenal  win.

The Gunners host the Seagulls this Sunday, the first game of the 3rd matchweek of Premier League 24/25. Arsenal started the season with back-to-back wins and did not concede a goal yet. They look like the real deal so far alongside a few other top teams in the league, and this is probably their second hurdle of the season after they got the win against Villa, that too on the road.

Brighton on the other hand, has been solid to say the very least. Their attackers, Minteh, Joao Pedro, Welbeck, and Mitom, all have been firing goals left and right, their attacks have been very fluid. Now I think they will struggle because Arsenal's defense is one of the very best, if not the very best in the league. They also play Arsenal at the Emirates, and that is always a tough job.

So yes, Arsenal is definitely the favorites here, but how Brighton plays their game can make the match very exciting. I will back Arsenal to win this one 2-1.

Chelsea has finally got rid of Romelu Lukaku.

Source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1829157015639532000

Napoli has signed him for €30m and it is a 3-year deal. Chelsea has managed Lukaku situation terrible over the years. This caused them to be in huge loss in total. Their finances deserve to be managed much better than this. But who am I talking to?    There is a chairman who doesn't stop buying players. Thankfully the transfer window is closing by this Friday. 

Chelsea training this season be like:

Hahaha, this is so true. I dont think there will be enough space for all the players to train together. Perhaps its going to be in turns. After the first set train then the next set starts their training till the 3rd batch. The most annoying thing is that with after all those players in their team they are still inconsistent in their performance. Chelsea dont look good yet but their fans still think the league is theirs. Its not about wearing beautiful jerseys and togs its about what they can do in the pitch.

Arsenal - Brighton seems like an interesting one. Both sides started with two wins. On paper, Arsenal are a huge favourite of course. But I don't think it is worth betting on them for that low odds.  

Both teams got positive results in 2 early matches in EPL this season. In matchday 2, both teams defeated strong teams. Brighton defeated Man United, Arsenal defeated Aston Villa. But Arsenal should be the favorite team because they will play at home for the next match and they actually have a better quality of the players. Sure, this won't be an easy match for Arsenal even if they are the favorite team to win the match.

Considering how productive they are, I think both teams to score could be a good option to bet on. Over 2.5 goals is also quite possible. I feel like Arsenal will win by 2-1. I hope they win before anything else.

You don't only consider their productivity in scoring goals, you also need to consider how strong their defense is. These teams have a very strong defense, Brighton only got 1 conceded goal so far and Chelsea still got 0 conceded goal. Considering this fact, it seems both team to be difficult scoring goals. Arsenal 2-1 Brighton looks a very reasonable prediction. I think your bet will be correct this time.  

Because this season I want to see them going for the title for real.

Man City is still strong enough to defend the title. If Man City can play consistently, Man City seems to win again the title. But if Man City begins to play inconsistently, Arsenal looks to have a chance winning the EPL trophy this season. Which team to have a higher chance for the title/trophy can be more visible when the season passes the middle of the season.

Chelsea is crazy, they even have so many goal keepers, and in this transfer market, they also signed 2 goal keepers. What are they thinking of using 4 goal keepers in one match, to line up in front of the goal? Check it out, even though they bought so many players, they spent money on unnecessary players.

This does not include free transfers and end of loan. And why don't they just focus on a few interested players but the really top ones? While they are very difficult to spend money on Osimhen's purchase.

Wolves - Chelsea is the most electrifying match I have watched since the season started. From Chelsea’s performance today, I don’t think Enzo Maresca needs a number 9 anymore. Nicolas Jackson was impressive in the game scoring one goal and gave an assist. No doubt, having Victor Osimhen in the team would be a great addition to the squad but right now I don’t think it is a necessity for Chelsea especially with the money involved in that signing.

Chelsea football team played excellent against Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. football team and they won the match one sided by doing 6 goals in this match. Madueke was top scorer of this match because he did 3 goals in this match and played major role in this match and opponent team could do only 2 goals at the end of match . Chelsea team looked excited to win this match  and now they are at 8 position but they should be in top 3 teams . Today Chelsea team will play against Servette team , Chelsea team will win this match easily because players are looking in good form and they will give their hundred percent to get good position in this tournament.

Chelsea played well against Wolves and won by a big margin. However, this does not prove that the Chelsea team is in a very strong position. Because in the first match we saw that the Chelsea team could not make such an advantage against Manchester City. Chelsea lost the match 2-0.

Personally I don't think Chelsea will compete for the title. Also qualifying for Champions League is very difficult for this team. Because even last season we saw Chelsea winning by big margin in several matches. Even against a big team like Tottenham, Chelsea won by a big margin. But Chelsea's performance throughout the season was erratic. There is no guarantee that we won't see Chelsea's erratic performance this season as well.

Chelsea will play against Crystal Palace in the next match. Chelsea may not have any problem to win against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth in the next two matches. But in the next matches, Chelsea will play against big teams like West Ham, Brighton, Liverpool and United. It will be difficult for Chelsea to get full points in these matches.

This alone makes our transfer window 11/10. It's been long time since i was hoping we would get rid of Lukaku from this club. Finally, this is happening now. There's no a better news than seeing him leaves from our club. We got good price from selling him (at least it's doubled from Napoli's first offer).

After the juve deal fell through last year, I thought we'd never sell Lukaku until his contract ran out. But, Napoli's daddy (Conte) came to us, then took his son back to his club.

Chelsea must maintain their performance as they just did at Wolves headquarters, their game is more lively, the ball supply is also flowing more smoothly into the opponent's defense area which makes it easier for the forwards to score goals. It was a great performance from Chelsea, they bounced back straight away after being beaten by Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca just needs to improve his defensive quality in the next match, conceding two goals at Wolves' headquarters must be overcome so they can get an easy win. It has been a long time since Chelsea fans wanted something extraordinary to happen on the pitch, they were so happy with the big win that was just achieved, if it continues like this, Chelsea will be a team to watch out for in the EPL this season.

At the start of the match, Chelsea were predicted to win based on the team's condition. That was found in the field as well. N. Jackson scored against Wolverhampton in the 2nd minute of the first hour and from then the pressure started to fall on Wolverhampton team. But when Wolverhampton leveled at 1-1 on 27 minutes they were left feeling very excited. Palmer managed to score another goal for Chelsea in the last minute of the first innings in the 45th minute. There Wolverhampton turned up brilliantly. Wolverhampton managed to score again in the extra minute of the first half. The first hour ended 2-2. However, Chelsea did not give any more chances from the 2nd hour. The team continued to score goals. Chelsea won by a wide margin with four goals scored in the 49th, 58th, 63rd and 80th minutes. The first hour was competitive but the second was one sided.

As a bettor, actually the result of Chelsea's victory against Wolves is not a very pleasant result.
Let's see how Chelsea as a popular club can be defeated by a club like Servette in the European Conference League.
In my opinion, Enzo actually only has to fix a little bit of the badness in the defense line which still often concedes goals and for me Chelsea's attack line is still very consistent.
So, Enzo's task this time is to get a challenge to maintain consistency in the defense line and that's the only way to improve Chelsea's slightly worse performance.

Well in my own perspective, in football I believe in one thing, which is giving credit to a deserving person or team when they does well and issue out criticism when they are performing badly, and it's actually the right way to do if you are not being sentimental, so as of the case of Chelsea football club, I honestly applaud them in the way they dispatch wolves in their own backyard in the second half of that particular encounter, and they made it look as if wolves is in a terrible form, which they are not, so I applaud them for that, but as for the game against serviette, they were actually horrible in defense, and I think it's high time badiashile is show the exit door, because he is no where near the level of defenders that should be playing for a team like Chelsea.
So if Enzo mascara can fix the defense of Chelsea, I think they might be able to do better than last season, but if their defensive lapses is not fixed, they might even finish bellow the sixth position they got last year, that's my own opinion though.

I agree with you that the guys in Chelsea's attacking lineup are playing very well right now and are in good form. However, Chelsea's defense is still quite weak. They conceded two goals against Wolves and Chelsea also conceded two goals against Servette in the Conference League match. The team lost the match by 2-1. Even though they lost 2-1 in this match due to a 2-0 win at home, Chelsea did not suffer any losses.

Enzo Maresca should tighten up his defense. Teams like Wolves and Servette easily break down Chelsea's defence. Manchester City won 2-0 against Chelsea. This shows that Chelsea's defense is weak. When faced with big teams, Chelsea team will be defeated due to weak defense. If Enzo Maresca's target is to finish in the top four of the table, strengthening the defense is not an option. If the defense is weak, it is impossible for Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League. Because Brighton and Tottenham are performing better than Chelsea at the moment.

Arsenal Vs Brighton

https://www.aiscore.com/head-to-head/soccer-arsenal-vs-brighton-hove-albion
From the last 5 meetings between these two clubs, they have a fairly thin difference, so Arsenal must be careful of Brighton who also started the league quite well this season, they managed to win their first 2 matches, including the last one they managed to beat Manchester United. Arsenal has a fairly big advantage because they will play in front of their own supporters, of course that will increase their enthusiasm to present victory.
On the other hand, Brighton did not come to lose in this match, they definitely want to get points that they can take home. Brighton has the ability to make a big surprise in this match, so Arsenal must apply very high alertness to the opponents they will face.

[Hanadawa]

-snip-Looking forward to a competitive match. Not sure which team I will bet on yet. But my guess is that the match is more likely to be a draw.

If I didn't see the previous match. I would immediately choose Arsenal to win this match. But from their first 2 matches in the League, it shows that Brighton cannot be underestimated. They managed to get good results in pre-season. They are currently in second place in the standings. Of course, Brighton is on fire right now. They seem to be able to beat any team. It would be reasonable to predict that the match will end in a draw. But Arsenal is a strong team and they are currently performing better than the previous season. I choose Arsenal to win the match.

Brighton have shown good performance at the beginning of the season even though they are no longer coached by de zerbi but so far their game is still very good, I agree with you, if arsenal can not underestimate brighton in that the match, but I think if you compare the games of the two teams so far of course arsenal are still better in terms of their attack and defense,  Just like you, I also think that if Brighton will be able to make it difficult for Arsenal but for brighton can  beat it seems unlikely, in the previous match Brighton was able to destroy Everton but the victory is very reasonable considering Everton current status as a weak team, when they beat Manchester United of course it is a surprise and it is appropriate for Arsenal to be wary  performance by Brighton later,  But we also can't deny that Manchester United in that match lost their focus at the end of the game and it was well used by Brighton, so I think Arsenal will not repeat the mistakes that Manchester United did later.

[el kaka22]

I have zero clues why Chelsea is doing this, but I am sure that they have a pretty good idea why they are doing this. We can't be the only one who sees this, they are the ones who are doing it so they must be aware of the situation they are in right now. Which means that, they are aware of the fact that they have 40+ almost 50 players, with like 7 goalkeepers, so it's clear that they are doing something while being aware of the situation they are in.

I believe that it's going to suck for a while but whatever they have in their mind, they will eventually activate the strategy and then something right will happen. Maybe it's all about selling like 25 players all at once, and getting some superstar with that kind of money, who knows what's going to happen. I really have zero clues, but I reject the notion that they are not aware of the situation they are in, getting the 7th goalkeeper was the nail in the coffin, I know they know what they are doing at this moment.

[hahay]

In the end Liverpool brought in a new player after perhaps not bringing in players before, and that player is Federico Chiesa. Well, for me this is a very good arrival because after all, basically Federico Chiesa is a player with high spirits even though when strengthening Juventus Federico Chiesa suffered a long injury but Federico Chiesa still has a great performance. Liverpool also gave a contract until 2028 and of course, it is a long contract and also considering Federico Chiesa's current age is 26 years.

But apart from that, Federico Chiesa plays on the left wing and in fact, I think Liverpool also have players in that position such as Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and also Diogo Jota. But even so, I hope Federico Chiesa still has a chance to get enough playing time and not too often be on the bench, because if more often on the bench is also not good for the future because it cannot improve its quality in the game.

[ILuckyGuyI]

In the end Liverpool brought in a new player after perhaps not bringing in players before, and that player is Federico Chiesa.

The sad thing is this is one of the only 2 transfers Liverpool has made in the whole window until now... Mamardashvili is the another transfer and he isn't even joining the team anytime soon. Because he is loaned back to Valencia right away. What do you think on this situation? Do you expect Liverpool to be a part of the title race in the PL for a whole year? 

By the way some people say Chiesa could be preferred over Nunez at the centre. I don't think it would be a good choice. Chiesa isn't a centre-forward. It would be better to use him as a left winger or second striker.

We know how Arteta will continue to chase Man City, they will always be close, Brighton is indeed at the beginning of this season is quite strong and able to subvert the enemy to not get a chance to win easily, it is a very good impression at the beginning of the season and makes people think when against Arsenal can not be defeated and more likely to get a draw match for tomorrow.

But I'm quite doubtful that Arsenal will lose, I'd rather bet on Arsenal winning this match, I'm quite confident with Saka and his friends.
