Jamie Carragher Tips Chelsea to Finish Above Manchester City This Season
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has boldly predicted that Chelsea will finish ahead of defending champions Manchester City in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea’s impressive campaign continued with a dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton on Wednesday night, further solidifying their status as genuine title contenders.
Enzo Maresca’s team now occupies second place on the league table after 14 matches, justifying the growing belief that they are serious challengers.
The Blues have been in scintillating form, losing only twice in the league so far and boasting an impressive tally of 31 goals—more than any other team in the division.
Their attacking fluidity and defensive solidity have turned them into a formidable force under Maresca’s management.
Speaking on The Overlap watchalong, Carragher expressed his confidence in Chelsea’s ability to outperform Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City this season.
He said, “I’m telling you, Chelsea are going to finish above Man City. They’re winning games with ease.
Look at the way they played against Arsenal and Liverpool—it was outstanding.”
The former Liverpool defender went on to analyze Chelsea’s strengths and how they compare to other top teams.
“As a Liverpool fan, I’m more worried about Arsenal than Chelsea,” he admitted.
“Arsenal has a more machine-like consistency. But Chelsea’s performances this season have been exceptional.”
Paris Saint-Germain still shows interest in the Galatasaray player, Victor Osimhen amid the contract offer with his team. Osimhen has a release clause of €75 million which allows him to transfer to another team in January.
Osimhen has proved to be very impressive this season and has many international clubs eyes set on him such as Manchester United, New Castle United and now PSG. The player is currently on a loan at Galatasaray.
Manchester United discusses signing in 17 year old player, Diego Leon to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s team and defense. This information was revealed by the Football expert, Fabrizio Romano.
Fabrizio released this information on his social media account on X, on Wednesday, stating that Man Utd are thinking about signing in the left back player.
“Manchester United are in active talks with Cerro Porteno for 17 year old left back Diego León as talent for the future,” Romano tweeted.
Ademola Lookman has praised his Atalanta side for their strong showing against Real Madrid, despite suffering a narrow 3-2 loss in their UEFA Champions League clash at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday night.
The match marked the first defeat for the reigning UEFA Europa League champions in the Champions League this season, but Atalanta’s performance sent a clear message: they are capable of competing with Europe’s best.
Lookman, who scored Atalanta’s second goal in the intense encounter, was named Man of the Match for his standout contribution.
His goal helped keep the pressure on the Spanish giants, but despite their efforts, Atalanta could not find an equalizer after a dramatic late goal from Real Madrid sealed the victory.
Reflecting on the match, Lookman shared his thoughts with UEFA.com, emphasizing the team’s pride in their performance, despite the result.
“It was a tough game, and Real Madrid took their chances when they had them,” Lookman said.
“We knew going into the match that it would be a hard-fought contest, and although we were unlucky not to come away with a win, we have our heads held high.”
Although disappointed with the final scoreline, the Nigerian forward expressed the belief that Atalanta had shown enough to demonstrate their ability to compete at the highest level.
“We are disappointed with the result because we felt we could have done more,” Lookman continued, “but there’s also a lot of pride in how we played.
We showed that we can go toe-to-toe with the best.”
