Episode 8 | Back from the Dead

In this episode, we take a direct look at the most recent Premier League games for Chelsea and Manchester United—and neither side escapes criticism.Chelsea’s latest form has been worrying. A 3–1 home defeat to Leeds exposed a lack of intensity and authority, with Chelsea repeatedly caught out by energy and direct play. The follow-up fixture against Aston Villa offered little improvement, as Chelsea again struggled to control key moments. Most recently, a 0–0 draw away at Bournemouth delivered a clean sheet but very little attacking threat. Chelsea look safe, predictable, and short of confidence in front of goal.Manchester United’s recent run has been erratic. A 1–1 draw with West Ham highlighted familiar flaws—possession without purpose and vulnerability to counters. The match against Newcastle was competitive but reactive, with United failing to fully impose themselves. Then came the contrast: a 4–1 away win at Wolves, where United were sharp, aggressive, and ruthless going forward. The problem is consistency—those performances don’t come often enough.
