While it would be hilarious to see Luton Town win, I can't see it. Chelsea has a pretty easy few games here and that should take the pressure off.

Yeah Chelsea have looked bad but the 11 Luton put out in their first game in the prem is not gonna be real competitive at this level IMO. Expecting Jackson to open his account and Chelsea to score a few, but you never know if Luton can survive through the first 25 minute onslaught and park the bus could be tough to break down which I agree would be funny.
I don't remember a year where there are so many grim looking teams, Wolves are imploding financially and selling everyone off, Everton are just brutal both on and off the field, Luton are barely even trying to stay up, they seem content to bank the money and Sheffield United look much the same, they've actually sold their two best players since getting promoted. Without even getting into the next tier of teams that aren't great like Bournemouth and Forest who seem to be spending well beyond their means with seemingly no plan and limited match day revenues and look to be a few seasons away from financial ruin and Burnley who are powered like a mini financially and can't pay more than 40k a week even though for them I think Kompany seems to be managing them well. Lots of competition for relegation this year and probably next too.

Chelsea will win, and their fans will go off about having the best midfield in the league, the upcoming title they're going to win & a bunch of other obnoxious garbage.
All from a win vs Luton.

Nice goal by Sterling. He's looked good so far this year.

Spurs in first! Will enjoy this for the 5 hours it lasts. 2 gorgeous goals. All they needed was a new coach.

Top of the table, just like we all predicted!
Honestly, the young players they've brought in look great. Van de Ven and Romero have transformed that backline and Udogie and Sarr look like great talents. If we had a striker, that would have been 3/4 goals today.
It's too bad about Richarlison. He seems like a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and he just can't buy a goal at this point. Obviously he's got big shoes to fill, but it's just not good enough.

Arsenal are an unbalanced shambles and will lose this by more than two goals. Lots of possession, zero penetration and in total panic mode when Fulham break.

Didn’t they go undefeated in the first 10 games last season?
Manager wasn’t the issue and certainly isn’t the solution now under Fat Ange.

Maybe Ange doesn't solve the root of the problem, but 6 attempts on goal today is probably more than they had in some 6 game stretches last season. At least the style is entertaining now, even if the results aren't there in the longer term.

Wasted 2 points by Arsenal.
Just hold a lead against 10 men you tools. Completely shut off on a corner after giving the ball away in your own half for no reason.
Frustrating.
Anyone want a Kai Havertz??

With how poor Trent has been today they might be finishing with nine men.

I believe in the Jays.
|
TAA has been a disaster to start the season. He’s already had two giveaways result in goals, and a third that also resulted in a goal but got bailed out on an offside call.

I’ve been saying this for weeks, (to my wife that doesn’t care), Nunez should be starting.

Newcastle should have put this away, could see them getting rattled and losing this now.
