Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca wants not to put too much pressure on his young team. But despite this, Chelsea has become a strong contender for the title of the English Premier League. This fact must be accepted. 'The Blues' only defeated Tottenham 4-3 at home on Sunday.

The result has now closed the gap between Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the league table to 4 points. At the same time, Arsenal was held to a draw by Fulham. 

is a bad situation for Tottenham. This has put a lot of pressure on coach Ange Posteglu. Tottenham is only one point ahead of Manchester United. The team is ranked 11th. United themselves are struggling for form. Returning to Chelsea, Maresca has quickly transformed the team into a formidable force. Well, it hasn't been long since he took charge of Stamford Bridge. 

Only last week he claimed that Chelsea's future is very good. Chelsea have not won a title since 2021, but have invested equally heavily in the meantime. Due to this big investment, the Chelsea team itself has become stronger from within. In the next few seasons, it will dominate English football. "We are happy because our supporters are happy," coach Maresca said after winning the match against Tottenham by 2 goals. 

He adds, 'Our supporters dream. But what I want to make clear again is that we are not ready for the title, internally and externally. I have said this concept many times. But one fact is certain, our team has improved massively, every day.' After winning 4 matches in a row in the Premier League, Chelsea is almost close to Liverpool. It is painful for Tottenham fans to lose a game with this team from a favorable position. 

Weak United in crisis

Tottenham were the same team that beat Manchester City in a one-sided fashion at the Etihad. Tottenham themselves have had to say their supporters stand by coach Posteglu. United are in a similarly bad position, perhaps even worse. Never mind that a bad day has already begun for new coach Ruben Amorim. He arrived at Old Trafford just last month. 

In this short time, he has understood very well how difficult and challenging the day is ahead of him. The coach of Sporting Lisbon said that the storm will come soon. However, he did not think that such a storm would come. United lost 2-0 to Arsenal in midweek. It was followed by a 3-2 loss at home to Nottingham Forest. United's weak defense was the biggest responsibility in this defeat. 

The 20-time league champions are currently 13th in the points table, with the team having 19 points. That's the worst since the 1986-87 season, based on a 15-game start. Coach Amorim has requested his players and supporters to exercise restraint. He also said to believe in himself. According to him, United has a long way to go. Even inside the club, not everything is good. 

Just on Sunday, the club announced that sporting director Don Ashworth has left the team. He had only been at Old Trafford for five months. Clearly, something is not going well within United either. There may be a power struggle going on. Or maybe there is a big difference within the club. In the next few weeks, United will face their two biggest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool. 

Strong Brentford at home

It will be a game against these two teams, where both United's credibility and reputation will be at stake. If you win, you will get everything, if you lose, you will lose everything. At the same time, another club in London is in a very different rhythm. A big feature of Brentford this season has come to the fore. This will make the club neither cry nor laugh. No other team looks as vulnerable as Brentford when playing away from home. We have to play at home again, there is no other team as strong as this one.
