Impressive for Watford to hold on to win 1-0 being down a man.

AFC Bournemouth fails to capitalize on chances...again. They keep slipping down the table.

Norwich looks to be the best of the three promoted squads.

What a day on Merseyside!  Well done you Toffees!  Career day for the Scottish Messi! ;D

Chelsea's got a lot of work to do.

What a show Leicester put on to come from 0-2 down to take all three points against Villa!  A very dangerous team the Foxes.

Cristiano Ronaldo also put on a show yesterday finding the back of the net 5 times against Espanyol.

Chelsea wins today against Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0.


Maybe this will get them back on track in the EPL.

Never thought I'd see Chelsea with the joint worst goal difference in the EPL, at ANY point in the season.

Pathetic is what it is.

1-Adam-12

AW, many are laying the blame at the feet of Ivanovic.  Is that a fair statement or is the entire defense to blame?

AirWarren

I think you can blame the entire defense as a whole.

However, I'm wondering if over saturation of talent is taking a toll on Chelsea. Sometimes too many egos will mess up the chemistry of a team whereas a team that is less talented but mesh together as a TEAM plays better than a team of all stars. I have been fearful of that happening at Stamford bridge. Having a lot of money to buy talent can be great, but it always comes with a price. Hope that makes sense.

I also think the loss of Petr Cech and Drogba is really taking a toll. Petr was an amazing goalie.

Oops, thanks! I think I had them in there, and then edited the post to line up the numbers the best I could and forgot to put them back.

Good statement about team play.  Leicester and Swansea are prime examples.  Not a super-superstar in the lot, but teamwork is getting the job done for both sides.

Leicester could rack up a lot of points before November as Arsenal is really the only big team they play in the first half of the season until then.

2-0 Chelsea over ARSENAL. Much more sweet of a victory when it's Arsenal.

Leicester City was down 2-0 last week and stormed back to win 3-2.

Can they do it again this week? Leicester seems to have lost the edge they played with during the first 4 weeks. After their loss to Manchester City, they seem like a team who has lost all confidence (at least in the first half).

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Just a couple weeks back, Chelsea was in 17th place. Still a long season. They could completely turn it around, hover where they are now, or end up in the bottom 3.
