Hello everyone!! I hope you guys are doing well it's good to be back again. We have seen splendid performances in the premier league in the past few weeks. It’s good to see some competition in the Premier League I mean just look at the table Arsenal are on the top of the table and yes they do deserve it they have been amazing in the first 4 games they are just amazing, beautiful football proper one-two carries forward it feels good to see them rise again after a real long time. During the first matchday we saw how Fulham played against Liverpool and yes we saw how Manchester United lost to Brighton and Bretford but well we did beat Liverpool. Gameweek 3 was the best week for me until now I mean United defeated Liverpool, Chelsea lost to Leeds by 3 goals and City drew with Newcastle for 3–3 it was an amazing week for me so overall m pretty much enjoying the premier League. So let's look at the Underdogs which I believe will surprise us this season and I truly believe in them.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest

Can you believe that Nottingham Forest Fc has made 18 new signings in just one season, YES 18 signing where Manchester United are still struggling with the De Jong deal tho I gave up the hopes a long time now. In those 18 signings, there is Jesse Lingard and Renan Lodi(Left-Back) from Atletico Madrid on loan. The reason I think is ofc the no of signings but last season they have played amazingly well yes they lost few players but the new signings are good deal plus few of them are experienced.
The Manager plays as a 3–4–2–1 formation and that's one of my favourite gameplay because I remember Jose Mourinho using that formation against Arsenal back in 2019 I guess it was during FA Cup. In that formation, you can use LWB/RWB who plays a vital role as they have to carry forward and even back down during counterattack. After getting Lodi I believe they are strong enough to survive in the Premier League but it's gonna be a tough one for them since they are new to the league after a long time it's gonna be amazing watching them play and entertain us.

Fulham FC

Fulham FC

Watching Fulham is gonna be interesting this season, they drew against Liverpool and yes they got Mitrovic a brilliant and experienced striker. Last season In THE CHAMPIONSHIP, Mitrovic broke Ivan Toney’s record for the most goals scored in a season. Aleksandar Mitrović scored 43 goals in just 44 games plus 7 assists for the team. Fulham this season has quite a strong team and experienced manager Marco Silva has managed Everton in 2018/19 and 2017/18 for Watford. His preferred formation is 4–2–3–1. Fulham got Bernd Leno from Arsenal, Issa Diop from West Ham United, Kevin Mbabu from Wolfsburg, a Defensive midfielder from Sporting João Palhinha and Andreas Pereira from Manchester United. So their transfer window this season is decent they got proper players for each position. By far they amazing squad and yes they can give tough competition for each and every club in the League.

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C

Graham Potter’s team performs amazingly each and every season. This season they lost quite important players in their team such as Marc Cucurella to Chelsea, and a fabulous holding midfielder Yves Bissouma to Spurs which makes Conte’s side strong quite strong, for my surprise Neal Maupay joined Everton which was surprising for me. Fulham ended their winning streak of 4 games straight which might be a little blow for the team but since it's Graham Potter’s side they’ll get over it on 4th September they might win or draw against Leicester City. The Manager’s formation isn't consistent and that's tricky for the opposition side and that will help the team a lot. Brighton didn't spend much on the transfer window and I guess they should spend a little cash from the fees they have got for those 3 players who are not average I mean they are playing for big clubs. Brighton will survive this season that's what I want I mean I don't wanna see Graham Potter getting sacked after Scott Parker who was handling AFC Bournemouth, which I think he didn't deserve to be sacked after his utter humiliation by Liverpool because it's just been 4 games and it was too early I hope they won’t regret the decision.

Okay, that's all for it now, thank you guys for reading and I really appreciate your support, read more, share more and help me grow more.

Until Next Time ❤
Hasta la vista❤
