This news is a big blow to Chelsea fan, especially for the Barcelona and Arsenal match. Cole Palmer has missed a lot of matches this season and if he had been back at this time, it would have been a big boost for the team, because he has a lot of qualities and he could help the tram at this time.
The team is getting better and they need him to help boost team, but I think Chelsea just have to wait for some weeks and hopefully he gets better, so we can start watching him play again.

To me, I think this is too bad for Chelsea and their Chelsea fans at the moment, entering into those matches without Cole Palmer isn't good at all, we know how aggressive most of that teams could be sometimes when the mewt Chelsea, we needed Cole Palmer to do the work his been known for, we may not know what will happen in those matches, Chelsea might scale through in Burnley match which looks a bit easy but what about Arsenal and Barcelona match, how are they going to escape these two, I see this as a problem right now, the manager should know what to do to cover up things.

LFG!!!Finally premier league is coming again very soon. It has been so long since the last game of EPL happened last weeks, and we won't have international break again at least until next year. So, here's my pick for the opening game of this week EPL.

As you can see guys how i'm picking Chelsea vs Burnley to do a straight bet with the hope i can at least make more than 40% profit. Yeah the recent news said no palmer due to the his toe injury, but no problem at all. I still believe on Chelsea to win it.
They still have all of their wonderkid ready to beat Burnley. Playing delap as ST, Joao Pedro as AMF, Estevao as RW, and Garnacho as LW. That's strategy must be enough to beat Burnley.

If any of you have opinion regarding this game, lemme hear it.

I don't think Chelsea will play too badly without Cole Palmer. Palmer has only played 3 matches in the Premier League this season and has only scored one goal. Chelsea will be a little stronger if Palmer is in the squad, but I don't think we will see Chelsea's poor performance without him.

We have seen Chelsea's poor performance at the beginning of the season. But in the past matches, Chelsea's performance has stabilized. There is a lot of improvement in Chelsea's performance. The bonding between the players is also getting stronger. Winning against Arsenal and Barcelona is definitely a big challenge for Chelsea. But I think they will give a tough fight.

Facing Burnley should not be a problem for Chelsea even without Palmer. But facing Barcelona and Arsenal without Palmer is a test for Chelsea. He has also just recovered from a previous injury, and now he has to miss an important match again. 
But Maresca has surely thought about this. In several matches, he has already proven successful with his strategies. But facing strong teams, of course, they have to work even harder.

There's a point Promocode made which makes sense, yes Burnley might be easy for Chelsea without Palmer but how about against Arsenal and Barcelona? Chelsea's star players are seriously needed in those match so let's no feel that Palmer absence wouldn't be felt, the hope Chelsea has is that those teams are also undergoing injury crisis and some of their star players would be absent too.

 Anyways Chelsea shouldn't underestimate Burnley they need to make sure that the whole point is acquired since they're not sure of beating Arsenal. Well Chelsea always put up a fight in derby matches so there's a possibility of drawing if they don't win Arsenal.

I think I'll be bold enough to take the BTTS NO for this match. Chelsea would want to focus a lot more on the Barcelona and Arsenal game so minimal risks would be taken by them and I don't see them scoring a lot. I also fancy them to keep a cleansheet. Odds at 1.83 on stake and 1.95 on bitcoinbetting.com. We could see a drop in the odds by tomorrow too. Palmer isn't going to feature due to a broken toe.

Palmer is still injured and is well-replaced by Joao Pedro, assisted by Caicedo in the defensive midfield.
1.48 is a fair price for Chelsea, as Chelsea's chances of getting all three points against Burnley don't bother me, even though Chelsea are playing away, and their last meeting against Burnley ended in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

If any of you have opinion regarding this game, lemme hear it.  

I think your bet on a Chelsea win is in line with my prediction.

It is very difficult against strong teams without Palmer in it he is a key player for chelsea's victory although Maresca is certainly aware of the situation now about how to take a stand in matches against big teams, but against burnley I agree with you, even without Palmer they can get a win, burnley is not so strong even though this season they returned to the English premier league, they are not the same as Sunderland who can play in the top flight.

[IjawMan]

Maresca just confirmed in a conference that Cole Palmer will miss the Burnley, Barcelona and Arsenal game not due to the Groin injury but he fractured his toe at home. This is a very bad news for the chelsea fans. His presence has been missed in the field and they were hoping to have their little magician back but it his return have now been postponed. 

A news no Chelsea fan will be pleased with how they have patiently hoped the skippo will be back to play before the Arsenal and Barcelona matches. Cole Palmer's presence has a unique offensiveness it gives to the Chelsea's attack. I may not be a Chelsea fan but I miss watching him play for his club.

With Cole Palmer injury period extended it is left for Maresca to put in a strong lineup against Arsenal and Barcelona cause those are important matches for Chelsea to win.

[Volgastallion]

This cant be real, what Maresca can think in his head? For sure he is gonna be super pissed off, how your key player after being injured for so long is gonna make the msot idiot move and break his own finger against a door in his own home, incredible, Palmer is destroying his career by his own right now.

[Adiljutt156]

Newcastle has been so crap since they missed Isak. I know they have Woltemade, but still not as good as they did last season. I'm obviously rooting City to win, reason?They're at 2nd, Haaland backs to his robotic performance, proper mid and defense.
I don't see any chance for City lose to newcastle unless they will be unfortunate enough.

Beside that Haaland is just one goal away from reaching 100 goals to break Alan Shearer's record with 100 goals from 124 games. That's obvious he will be trying harder, and get ready for newcastle to be thrashed by City.

I actually analyze that the scenario that will occur in the Newcastle vs. Manchester City match is a draw, even though Haaland and several other names from Manchester City could strengthen the analysis for people to choose Manchester City.
Position is not a factor that strengthens the idea that Manchester City is stronger and Newcastle will be easily defeated by Manchester City. For me, that's another factor.

Woltemade, yes, this player has the potential to make the draw result more convincing to me.
I still use the victory achieved against Bilbao as a reason why I choose a draw instead of betting on Manchester City's victory.

My analysis is that Manchester City will win this match. I am now a fan of Woltemade and I think he s having a better start at Newcastle this season as a new attacker only Eketeke comes close but even with his impressive start at Newcastle and the good works he is doing for Germany in their world cup qualifications I believe that Manchester City will just be too strong for them, haaland is a machine for club and country and he will more than one goal for them in the match.

Manchester United football team will play match against Manchester City football team and that match will be interesting because both teams are of same standard. Both teams have good players because they are playing against different teams. Manchester City has good place on the table and that is on second position and that team played against difficult teams and won most of the matches due to exceptional performance. That team has 22 points on the table and Manchester United football team has low position on the table because that team won less matches as comparison to opponent team and that team has 18 points on the table and that team has 7th position on the table.

For some reason everyone sees Chelsea as the favorite against Burnley. But in the Premier League, underdogs beat the top teams all the time. I think Burnley will at least avoid losing this match.

I’m also curious how Arsenal’s defense will look without Gabriel in the game against Tottenham — can they keep a clean sheet? And today I heard that Semenyo from Bournemouth missed the last training sessions and might miss the match as well.

What do you think — which match could I bet on to have a confident chance of winning?

Yeah, you are right, upset happens in the premier league every week and this weekend it could be against Chelsea or not but you can’t take away the fact that chelsea remains favorite in winning that match. We saw the momentum chelsea finished with before going into the international break so we believed that they would continue in the same fashion. Chelsea have been without Cole Palmer in recent game and in this game they would also be without him but I don’t think it would be a problem for them.

Burnley have been struggling this season and you can only think the struggle would continue in this game against Chelsea, burnley have record 3 wins so far this season and it against their fellow relegation battling teams, so it going to be very difficult to think they would record a win against Chelsea.

I just pray that Chelsea will not like to rest players against Burnley because of the champions League game against Barcelona on Tuesday. Chelsea has no reason to draw or even lose this game because, Burnley is not a strong opposition to make a team like Chelsea to rest players.Chelsea should approach this game with all sense of purpose. Chelsea needs to win this types of games if they are to remain on the top half of the table.

There is a reason about it. Burnley are like one of the worst defending teams in the league. The same can be said for their attacking also. 24.01 xG against them and the least amount of touches in box by them.

Chelsea should be able to dominate the match normally. I think they will also win just like Arsenal did previously.

I’m also curious how Arsenal’s defense will look without Gabriel in the game against Tottenham — can they keep a clean sheet? And today I heard that Semenyo from Bournemouth missed the last training sessions and might miss the match as well.

Without Gabriel it's harder to keep a clean sheet. It's a tough London derby with all these injuries for Arsenal. Some of them are likely to recover but we will see.

As far as I know Semenyo isn't injured now. He just needed to attend to his engagement and left his national team early.

...because Newcastle have been a shadow of themselves so far this season and this is what gives Manchester City an edge in my opinion but the magpies are not easy push away most especially in games between the other big six and Newcastle, they usually sit up regardless of their form so it is a good decision to avoid the game entirely.

Newcastle's performance has not been as good as last season because some key players who make they strong have gone. They only have spirit how to far away from the degradation zone right now. They performed poorly in the Premier League, but were pretty good enough in the Champions League, which I think can build their enthusiasm for hosting The city on St James’ Park. What we are waiting for is how Yoane Wissa, Jacob Ramsey, and Anthony Elanga have integrated with the team because they are key to build The Magpies like the previous session.

Seriously, Newcastle have not really looked like the same team this season. Their form has been shaky, and that naturally gives Manchester City the upper hand and man 
 city performance has been high before the international break and if they continue with that form Newcastle will struggle against them. But at the same time, Newcastle are one of those teams that suddenly step up when they are facing the big sides. Even if they’re struggling, they don’t just roll over  especially in matches against the traditional top six.

It is obvious that Newcastle are no longer Newcastle we know how they have been over the previous seasons they are not in form this season because of they are in season it is always easy to know because they are known to give a lot of clubs hard time. And Newcastle were beaten by Brentford and Manchester City wom there last game so there is a very high chance that they will also defeat Newcastle, which is actually good, and there is no magic that will happen that they will win against Manchester City, they will lose for sure,  it was Newcastle of then I know that they would have given Manchester city a rough time. But now things have changed.

It's okay if there are differences in betting on the Newcastle vs Manchester City match. For those who bet on Manchester City to win in 1x2, that's the best choice for those who chose it, and for those who ended up choosing a draw like me, that's also a good choice. That's a way of appreciating what has been done with various analyses.

As a Liverpool fan, Woltemade is a good player. Though he's not as tall as Peter Crouch, I see Woltemade as reminiscent of Crouch.
Ekitike is also good, and both have done what they should for their respective teams this season. It's different with Sesko. But that's another story.

Wolves will host Crystal Palace at home. Wolves have yet to win a league game and will be eager to change that. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has had a decent start to the league and will give everything to get points from this match. I definitely think Wolves will score.
Manchester City will be trying to get 3 points away at Newcastle United. Manchester City's task is certainly not easy, but Newcastle have not started the season very well. I think City will win, albeit with difficulty.

For me I can easily give my winning bet to Crystal Palace in n this game the reason is that, from the few games of the clubs you discovered already that the 18 and front line are all good and at that any opportunity will definitely be converted into a goal and at the same time locking the 18 to total block out any possible scores from the Wolves team, so we have definitely exciting game coming up between both clubs.

[IceLincoln]

LFG!!!Finally premier league is coming again very soon. It has been so long since the last game of EPL happened last weeks, and we won't have international break again at least until next year. So, here's my pick for the opening game of this week EPL.

As you can see guys how i'm picking Chelsea vs Burnley to do a straight bet with the hope i can at least make more than 40% profit. Yeah the recent news said no palmer due to the his toe injury, but no problem at all. I still believe on Chelsea to win it.
They still have all of their wonderkid ready to beat Burnley. Playing delap as ST, Joao Pedro as AMF, Estevao as RW, and Garnacho as LW. That's strategy must be enough to beat Burnley.

If any of you have opinion regarding this game, lemme hear it.  

It’s definitely going to be a win for Chelsea despite their up and downs, the team seems like they’re getting their groove back even without Cole Palmer and Burnley has not been performing so well at the Premier League as to give them a chance of anything but this is football, Chelsea can go there and flop while Burnley shocks us but that’s just me speculating. The game despite being at Burnley’s home is Chelsea’s to lose.
The Brazilian Estevao Williams has been praised a lot, I’m sure he’s gonna live up to the expectations.
