You see the strength of a team only from the current standings and not from the past history or the big name of a team? which I think is unfair, the lucky ones in the next match are Chelsea and Man City. Nottingham and Newcastle face tough opponents you can't say it's an easy 3 points for them because Everton and Man Utd are not easy teams to beat. That means next week Chelsea can still maintain their current position if they win against Ipswich Town and besides those who are competing for the top 4 positions must be careful because Aston Villa can get closer next week.
In my opinion, the history and the name of a team count, but you also have to look at the current situation, and in the current situation these teams are not performing well, not at all
I was positively surprised by Arsenal, i didn't expect them to win with all those goals against Real Madrid.
We can't separate these two things, I agree that in short we will definitely see their latest performance, but I also agree that a big name or history of a team will also have an effect. For example, they are more confident than their opponents and in the game confidence is important.
But on the other hand I can also understand why people say big names or history are not part of it. Because realistically we will see their current situation, that's not wrong in my opinion. It's just that maybe we just have different views, and that's natural.
