Don't know if this season Amorin will finish by being able to participate in the UCL tournament, Europa League or Conference League?
Their play is still inconsistent so it cannot be concluded that Amorin will do it all easily when the reality is not.

I'm curious how Man United will fare against Aston Villa as a team on a winning streak --- I'm here doubting the red devils, especially since some players are absent for the AFCON cup. I wouldn't bet on Man United that's the point.

Amorim must set a target for next season, he must immediately end his team's inconsistent performance to reach the top four, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season are still wide open because they are currently only 3 points behind Chelsea who are in fourth place, United also have the opportunity to catch up with Chelsea's points if they manage to get full points at Aston Villa's home, although it is not easy, they must try to beat Aston Villa in order to improve the mentality of the players to face the challenges in the next match. Amorim must focus more on building a strong and consistent team to maintain their chances of playing in European competition next season.

Many doubted that Man United would be able to get any points in this game, but success depends heavily on their performance. United must find gaps and take advantage of every opportunity to score goals. Although Aston Villa is the favorite team in this game because of their recent consistent performance, United could still spring a surprise because anything can happen in football.

Chelsea could have won the game if Garnacho had scored those late chances he had. It was a good game all round though with James making a great tackle late in the also. Just hope he can be fit for long to show what he can do.

When I saw James was in the lineups I got hope that Chelsea would win that match but Newcastle surprised me, they really proved that they're a tough team to play against , well I believe it's because they're the hosting team that's why they have the confidence to score very early. James came to the rescue for Chelsea and gave the team hope.

 Well a draw is better than losing the whole points although it might affect them in the near future if they drop against, atleast they're still safe cause even though Crystal Palace wins, they'll still be below Chelsea in 5th position.

I thought Chelsea would be losing due to their shaky defense, but happy to see i was wrong. They lose two nil during the first half, but equalize it at the second half. My take on this is that their defense must be their main concern. It's also bad to play Reece on the mid.
Things better when Maresca stopped his stubborness, and  move him back as an RB and at the same time Enzo enter the pitch.

Other than that it's also fascinating to see Garnacho missed so many chances. Honestly, his shooting accuracy was so garbage. he would have club to kill the game if he's proper shoot on target.
So i think they're bad overall, but the game at st hames park has never been easy so draw is not that bad.

The only positive thing Chelsea achieved in this game is the draw and the one point they get from the match, Chelsea in the first was very poor, i don’t even know that Chelsea is the one playing against Newcastle because Newcastle players are very serious in the game, they come to the game with a good feeling that they can defeat Chelsea and in the 20 minutes of the game they have made everythin look bad for Chelsea, Woltemade made Chelsea defense look bad with his dangerous attack.

I see some Chelsea fans complaining that Enzo Maresca is the reason why the game was not good as they expected, we all know that Chelsea has not defeated Newcastle in St James park since 2021, that shows how strong Newcastle is whenever they are playing against Chelsea at home, Enzo Maresca started the game with players that are good enough to win the game but the defense is not good and in the second half he made some corrections and Chelsea players played well and end the game draw.

Newcastle United vs Chelsea match ended 2–2. Chelsea came back from 2–0 down to draw 2–2 and earned 1 point.

Manchester City are currently leading 2–0 against West Ham, and that’s how the first half will likely end. There could be one or two more goals in the second half, but I expect City to win.

Arsenal have a tough match ahead. They must avoid dropping points against Everton because City are winning their match right now. If Arsenal lose tonight, City may never give up the top spot again.

The look of Chelsea in the first half was really terrible.    No wonder why Newcastle got 2-0 ahead. But Maresca is such a special manager that he found a way to come back from this.

Even in a match that Palmer wasn't effective you know. He touched the ball a lot but couldn't be creative with it enough. When he plays like this the team are in more trouble too.


About the Manchester City one they are very comfortable. West Ham literally did nothing for a whole half. 0 goal attempt...

Chelsea's performance has become very erratic. And they will probably lose the fourth place in the points table very soon. With such erratic performance, it will not be possible for them to qualify for the Champions League. This season we thought the team would fight for the title. But this is no longer possible. Chelsea has won only one of the last 5 matches.

Manchester City will get an easy win today, this was expected. West Ham is one of the renowned teams in the Premier League, but their performance is weak this season. Getting out of the relegation zone is a big challenge for them. City managed to score two goals at the end of the first half. On the other hand, West Ham players could not take a single shot in the first half. They are not trying to score in this match.

The Way West Ham United is given Manchester City opportunity, they will still Score another goals in the second half. E. Haaland scored the first goal in the game and assisted T. Reijnders for the second goal. There is no doubt in this match again, City definitely win the game. Second half has started and Manchester City is possessing ball now. West Ham United just missed a goal. At first the keeper saved the ball and another player missed the shoot.

Chelsea has disappointed it fans and gamblers who supported them to win. Liverpool match too is and another match that scared people, Arsenal game will be a tight corner for them.

[1kodumtek7]

The ongoing matches are generally quite boring. There are goals in only the Manchester City - West Ham one. The rest are still going on 0-0. I was waiting for a better performance than this by Bournemouth.

They are playing home against Burnley but still can't score? The same team scored 4 goals and stole 1 point from Manchester United. I don't get them this season. A great start but a very fast downfall.

The game was a disappointment but thank God we got a draw. A good fight back from us on this game and I must commend Robert Sanchez not just for his good saves but also from the fact that he gave an assist. To be honest, we need to be more consistent and our defense is just too inconsistent especially our Cb's and that is why I'm often scared on big games especially when I know such team can capitalize on a slight mistake.

Gernacho is still annoying, although he did help us in our last game against Cardiff city but still I know he is still far from being reliable.

Gnarcho is an average striker. He should have made it three goals because he had the opportunity to do that twice before the end of the match. I'm impressed with the fighting spirit that Chelsea put on in the second half in order for them not to lose the game.

Newcastle was supposed to defend their lead in the second half but they thought that the second half is gone be like the first half so, they wanted more goals but it turned out to be the opposite.

[redhack]

Chelsea made a strong comeback but it wasn't enough for the win. When Woltemade scored 2 goals in the first half, Newcastle United's confidence in winning the match grew. However, the second half was a completely different story. James and Pedro helped Chelsea equalize. 1 point didn't do either team much good. If someone had asked before the match whether 1 point was good for Newcastle, they might have said yes, but looking at how the match unfolded, we can say that Newcastle were the ones who left 2 points on the table.

It was a good comeback from Chelsea but it would have been more impressive if they could win the game instead of just scoring to equalize. City scored their third goal which gave them enough points to surpass arsenal on the league table, arsenal needs to win their match otherwise they'd lose their place. It won't be an easy match for them because Everton has home advantage and arsenal are a bit slow now

If Arsenal players are serious with winning the Premier league competition, they will punish Everton the same way Chelsea dealt with them last week. They need a win to go back to the top.

Erling Haaland has now scoremlre goals than his appearance this season. I was sure he will not disappoint me. West Ham are bad, the management need to sign players for Nuno Espirito to avoid relegation. A brace was the outcome for the Norwegian after the game.

Should have been one of the finest come backs but they couldn't get that done. Newcastle is yet to lose a good game at home thi season. Eddie Howe need to win games so he can also maintain his job for them.

[yixichloro2xx]

Man city won Westham 3-0 and now topping the table.  It was a top notch game they controlled the games in both halves without giving Westham players enough breathing space. Halaand score 2 goals and tijani  scored 1. This is the man city very body feel in love with. This Epl title won't be easy for Arsenal as Manchester City won't back down until the last match day. Halaand now has 19 premier league goals in 17 match, this bro is aiming for the Golden boot again and if he can keep up with that scoring consistency he might win it . All eyes on Arsenal vs Everton where I am expecting a draw in that game.

[SatoPrincess]

Chelsea made quite the comeback from 2 goals down in the first 20 minutes of the game to finish in a 2-2 draw. I think Chelsea could have won the game if they took advantage of their chances. Poor Garnacho, he’s getting a lot of heat for his performance today.

Guardiola has been trying something new in this season. In first times they struggled quite much. Inconsistent results followed it. However things are improving lately. This was their 5th win in a row in the PL.

Now the pressure is on Arteta... They have lost the lead temporarily and there is an Everton match away which has never been easy for Arsenal. At least injuries are in a better situation for Arteta but he must be still missing Gabriel.

Newcastle surplused you and resurprised you again because the fail to maintain the lead to the very last minute, although they also have shown that they are not a team to mess around with, but they only tried to get 1 point after all they effort they put in, when they had the opportunity to get all the 3points, am not against sharing the points but I don't think they would have find it easy to equalize the whole too goals if chelses was in their position, the first half was theirs, that would have been a good opportunity for them to tighten up but they were lose, James is a pillar in Chelsea, he has proven that severally.

[Adiljutt156]

Chelsea vs Newcastle is my most favorite game to come. Opta predicted Newcastle have greater chance to win, but i don't think so. Honestly, Newcastle has always been better in term of physicality compared to the Chelsea, but not for the tactical gameplan.

So yeah the last time Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0, but i believe this time is different. Palmer is back, and all of their defenders are fit. Chelsea can repeat the story when they beat Newcastle last season. My guess for the bet is that BTTS(1.57) must be the best option. I don't think we will see a team being goalless in this game considering both clubs played with their best squad.

We saw good competition between these two teams because match was not one sided and both teams played very well in this match. Woltemade was a person who did excellent job in this match and he did 2 goals in this match. He did his first goal at 4 minutes of the match when it was need of the team and he did second goal at 20 minutes of the match . The stats of that team was not effective as they could not built pressure on opponent team And one team did 14 goals in this match and 4 goals were on target. The possession percentage of Chelsea football team was good and that was 52 percent as they could not possess the ball for more time . James was a person who did goal in the second half and team was in pressure when he did goal.

Newcastle United vs Chelsea match ended 2–2. Chelsea came back from 2–0 down to draw 2–2 and earned 1 point.

Chelsea was lucky to end this game with a single point because if Newcastle United didn't drop a bit in the second half, the outcome will be different. Nevertheless, Chelsea gave the other teams an opportunity to catch them..

Manchester City are currently leading 2–0 against West Ham, and that’s how the first half will likely end. There could be one or two more goals in the second half, but I expect City to win.

I saw parts of the match and Manchester City were performing better and finishing the game with 3 goals was a correct result. Haaland extended his dominance as a top scorer in the league and West Ham United is sinking in the relegation zone.

Arsenal have a tough match ahead. They must avoid dropping points against Everton because City are winning their match right now. If Arsenal lose tonight, City may never give up the top spot again.

Any point drop in this match will cost Arsenal the first place. It is doubtful to see gunners not winning there with the odds they have.
