CHELSEA - WEST HAM

There are no more excuses for Tuchel. The new owner brought all the players he wanted (Aubameyang, Fofana, Zakaria, Broja, Cucurella, Sterling…) spending almost 200M, so, there is no more place for another "mistake" for Chelsea.

Chelsea didn't start the season in a way they wanted. After 5 matches, they are sitting on 10th place with 7 points. They have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Also, their attack is weak as they scored only 6 goals in 5 matches, while they conceded 8 goals. Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all returned to training after being out with illnesses, knee injuries, and hamstring injuries. The acquisition of Fofana (70M) should improve their defense, while their attack should start to score goals as they have quality and now added others top players like Aubameyang or Broja

On the other hand, West Ham also haven't started the season in a good way. They won only 4 points (all 4 points they won in the last 2 games). Their balance is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. They have scored only 2 goals, while they conceded 6 goals. Ben Johnson, Craig Dawson, and Nayef Aguerd are all anticipated to miss out. If Gianluca Scamacca has fully recovered from the sickness that kept him out of the Spurs game, he might return to the replacements' bench.

They were outplayed by Manchester City in the opening round (0:2) and last season in April Chelsea also outplayed them in Stamford Bridge, although they struggled to beat them, scoring the winning goal (1:0) at 90’ after Jorgihno missed a penalty at 87’.

Chelsea need the three points urgently to start the fight for the Top4, their target this season and especially to achieve confidence in this important month with Champions League games. The project looks promising and I’m sure that they will be motivated today, especially because Tuchel and the squad have no more excuses to don't make good performances and achieve positive results.

REAL SOCIEDAD - ATLETICO MADRID

Atletico de Madrid should be favorite here.

They will be looking for their third victory this season after some poor performances (0:2 vs Villarreal) and others great (0:3 Getafe). No changes are expected in the lineup, maybe just Carrasco in the left wing instead of Carrasco.

The team is working well as a block, they just made some individual mistakes in defense against Villarreal, but they have a very strong attack and undoubtedly have one of the best squads of the league.

But Real Sociedad is a team who is always in the limit. They struggle a lot to create chances and score goals, so must take the maximum advantage of the few they score. This is thanks to a very solid defense and the domination of the games with the possession, but they always struggle to follow their plan against top teams. Of course against weak sides like Cadiz or Elche they can do it, but for example Barcelona outplayed and beat them 1:4. And this is something that already happened past season, where Real Sociedad lost almost all the games against the top teams.

They signed a new striker to replace Isak - Sadiq, from Almeria. He is good but not a top one.

It will be a very tactical match, but I believe that Atletico de Madrid has much more quality to score goals here. I think that we will see few goals, maybe just 1 or 2 scored by one team, and seeing the quality upfront of both sides, Atletico Madrid should do it. Both teams are specialists in controlling the game and maintain the advantage when they score a goal but as said, Atletico Madrid has a much better squad and are an expert team in these situations, while Real Sociedad always struggles to make their plan against top teams.

切尔西vs西汉姆

不能再为图赫尔找借口了。新老板带来了他想要的所有球员(奥巴梅扬、福法纳、扎卡里亚、布罗贾、库库雷拉、斯特林……)，花费了近2亿美元，所以，切尔西没有地方再犯“错误”了。

切尔西并没有以他们想要的方式开始新赛季。在5场比赛后，他们以7分排名第10。他们有2胜1平2负。此外，他们的进攻也很弱，5场比赛只打进6球，丢了8球。里斯·詹姆斯、特雷沃·查洛巴和鲁本·洛夫特斯-齐克在因伤病、膝盖和腿筋受伤而缺阵后都已恢复训练。引进70M的福法纳应该会改善他们的防守，而他们的进攻应该会开始进球，因为他们有实力，现在又增加了奥巴梅扬和布罗亚这样的顶级球员

另一方面，西汉姆联也没有以一个好的方式开始这个赛季。他们只赢了4分(他们最近两场赢的全部4分)。他们的比分是1胜1平3负。他们只进了2球，却丢了6球。本·约翰逊、克雷格·道森和纳伊夫·阿格尔德都将缺席。如果斯卡马卡能从那场让他缺席马刺比赛的疾病中完全康复，他可能会回到替补阵容。

他们在首轮被曼城(0:2)击败，上赛季4月，切尔西也在斯坦福桥击败了曼城，尽管他们很难击败曼城，但在90分钟的时候，在约尔吉诺87分钟罚失点球后，切尔西打入了致胜的一球(1:0)。

切尔西迫切需要三分来开始争夺联赛Top4，这是他们本赛季的目标，尤其是在这个重要的月里赢得欧冠比赛的信心。这个计划看起来很有希望，我相信他们今天会受到激励，特别是因为图赫尔和球队没有更多的借口不做出好的表现，取得积极的结果。

皇家社会vs马德里竞技

马德里竞技应该是这里最受欢迎的球队。

在一些糟糕的表现(0:2 vs比利亚雷亚尔)和其他出色的表现(0:3赫塔菲)之后，他们将寻求本赛季的第三场胜利。预计阵容不会有变化，也许只有卡拉斯科在左翼而不是卡拉斯科。

球队在阻挡方面做得很好，他们只是在对比利亚雷亚尔的防守中犯了一些个人错误，但他们有非常强大的进攻，毫无疑问他们拥有联赛中最好的阵容之一。

但是皇家社会是一支总是处于极限的球队。他们努力创造机会和进球，所以必须最大限度地利用他们进球的机会。这要归功于他们坚固的防守和控球控制比赛的能力，但他们在面对强队时总是很难遵循自己的计划。当然，面对像加的斯和埃尔切这样的弱队，他们可以做到，但例如，巴塞罗那以1:4击败了他们。这是上赛季已经发生的事情，皇家社会几乎输掉了所有与顶级球队的比赛。

他们签下了一名新前锋来取代来自阿尔梅里亚的萨迪克。他很好，但不是一流的。

这将是一场非常讲究战术的比赛，但我相信马竞在这里有更多的能力进球。我认为我们将会看到一些进球，也许只有1或2个球队的进球，并且看到双方的质量，马德里竞技应该这样做。两支球队都是控制比赛和保持进球优势的专家，但就像前面说的，马竞有一个更好的阵容，在这种情况下是一个专家团队，而皇家社会总是努力制定他们的计划来对抗顶级球队。
