In the 18th week of the Premier League yesterday, many surprises occurred, Man City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Man Utd were defeated by teams below them, maybe there were other factors that caused their defeat yesterday. Only Liverpool remained consistent with their victory.
Maybe Maresca is right, his team is not aiming for the title this season, there are still many things that the coach needs to fix, such as being able to remain consistent, because currently even though Chelsea has improved rapidly, their consistency is still not 100% ready to fight for the trophy. Next season I think they are ready for that.
Today Arsenal will play as hosts against Ipswich Town, will Arteta's troops suffer the same fate as the other 4 big teams? Let's see.
Usually we have Boxing Day games as bloodbath and same happen in this season with Manchester City which was doing good ended on draw, but we have stunning defeat for the Chelsea at home and then we more matches which not ended on good note due to their poor run specially Manchester United is currently on lowest level due to wired reasons but Aston Villa and Tottenham are also facing tough time which bringing them down and out of top competition.
Newcastle United in last three games with 11 goals and three clean sheets amazing from them which bring good chance for them to have European competitions chance through Bournemouth and Fulham are also teams which are watchful in last few rounds as they giant killers with struggling Everton which is also looking for spot in middle of Premier League table.
