Betfair Ambassador Dimitar Berbatov insists it's too early lớn write Chelsea out of the title race, despite claims from manager Maurizio Sarri, as he looks ahead to their clash with Man City at the weekend- According to the free soccer tips today page!
Wolves defeat a setback but Blues not out of it[/b]
After Wolves beat Chelsea on Wednesday night, Maurizio Sarri said his team were in a fight for top four alone now, with Manchester City 'in another category' but I am sure he is still thinking about the title.
OK, they are 10 points behind, but there is a long way lớn go in the season and it just sounds like typical manager mind soccer tip for today. Sometimes, a manager will say stuff like this lớn take the pressure off the players or try and motivate them.
There's been a lot of talk about Chelsea needing a new striker in January, with Alvaro Morata missing chances and Olivier Giroud not scoring, but I don't think they'll go in lớn the market.
These are two good players and, as I've said many times in the past, it's not just up to the centre-forward to score the goals.
City to march on at the Bridge[/b]
Man City ended up hanging on a bit at Watford in midweek, eventually winning 2-1, but that's what champions do - find a way lớn win. The best teams can play sh*t and still win - no one is going to score six or seven goals every week.
It will be a tight game at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but I can't really see Chelsea getting anything out of the game.
I can see the visitors edging it, maybe 1-0 or 2-1, as they have more attacking weapons than Chelsea. Leroy Sane in particular has been flying in recent weeks. He's player I like a lot, he has speed, stamina, he scores goals, makes goals.
He wasn't in the team every week at the start of the season but that is where Pep Guardiola comes into his own. He explains lớn every player why they aren't playing, but that their chance will come - he's a good psychologist.
United won't give up on top four but it's looking difficult[/b]
Manchester United against Arsenal on Wednesday was a very exciting game for the fans but there were so many mistakes from both sides and the managers have plenty lớn work on.
A draw was probably a fair result in the end given the balance of play, but it wasn't a particularly helpful one for United as they look lớn get nearer the top four.
There is now an eight-point gap to Chelsea in fourth, but Jose Mourinho won't be giving up on top four, the chance is still there. It's not going to be easy, of course, but United will fight for it.
