What can we expect from Manchester City in this 2025. They won their game against Westham today. Rodri is back and the team has increased in the performance in their last two games. Will they be able to come back up and win the league? I doubt so, because they are very down in terms of point in the League table. The gap between Liverpool and City is not something that can be easily closed. It will take Liverpool to lose up to 4 games for City to be in the top which is nearly impossible for Liverpool to lose so much.

~~
So finally Pep has made a U-turn and broken the silence and gotten the victory again. Manchester city has won back-to-back matches in supreme style. This time they smashed the West Ham with a pretty big margin of 4-1. Pep started the new year on a good note. The end of 2024 was very bad for Manchester city who were defeated even Pep was longing for victory, but finally pep organized the team and went on the victory track. So looking at this current sentiment, I think Pep can add more league points. Chelsea has lost their confidence in a few matches or only got 2 points. So maybe this can be the best opportunity for Manchester City to surpass the Blues and Newcastle United and come up to 4th place. 

So, in the coming matches, if Manchester City controls both of them and there are victories in the match, beyond any doubt, Pep's team can approach the 4th place. And if they continue to be consistent, maybe they can surpass Arsenal before the last cap.

Underestimate- nothing
Winning consistent two games could be a sign of recovery for a team that won only one game in twelve matches. Saying that they won West Ham because it is a weak club is not totally correct. City was unable to win Crystal Palace and Everton, both games ended in a draw. Meanwhile, West Ham have more points than these two clubs City drew against. Winning two game in a row might be an indication that Pep Guadiola has discovered what is wrong. Just as you said, we cannot conclude that they have returned back to normal quality but I think there is an improvement. More future games will either affirm my claims or dispute it.

At least they winning two games shows that things are getting better for than because the past few weeks was not a good one for Manchester City at all, who would have expected city to lack consistency and they have those that will are willing but they are just finding it very hard to be consistent and they have been on a losing this past few games and when they played against west ham it was a different thing and now they are on a journey of redemption and they might be lucky to be able to perform well.

And the fact that west ham is a weak club should also be part of the Reason why they were able to win west ham and there last five games don't even speak well of them and you can not conclude that they are back in form but with time am sure they will find there way around.

And even pep don't know exactly what to do at this point and he as to seriously work on their team work because that is part of what they are lacking, and am sure they will be able to salford city.

Today in the Premier League was really an interesting one, literally all the fixtures had both teams scoring a goal each imnn the games and they all had at over one goal in the games, I had it in mind today that all the games were actually going to have both teams scoring a goal each but I wasn't confident enough to place a bet on them and it's really funny how it turned out that all the teams actually had a goal and ended up giving the results I did taught of them.
There are still a few more matches left, although you mentioned that you were not confident to bet, but I think you can be confident for these two matches ahead.
Especially in the match between Liverpool and Manchester United, it can be said with a lot of confidence that Liverpool will win this match, although Manchester United has beaten Liverpool very few times but most of the times Liverpool on the ahead and also they will try to make their position on the top more strong.

In another match between Fulham and Ipswich Town, I think Fulham will win because in this case too, Fulham is always ahead of Ipswich Town in head to head comparisons.

Arsenal just made it clear that they are useless without Saka and Arteta can never be a champion as a coach, win this game but no way. Arsenal just let the other teams know that they can't play well if Saka is not available, that's bad and it means the team is not complete, get an attacker Arteta says he is comfortable with what he has. This game disgusting to me big time, how can they catch up with Liverpool with this nonsense they displayed? No miracle will come to the aid of Arsenal and I don't see them getting close with this display. Brighton did what they need to do and they are ok with it.
Saka is an important player in Arsenal squad, but it is not fair to say that Arsenal is useless without Saka because they do win matches without him, and Brighton has always been a team that do give tough time to almost all the big teams in the EPL, and with Saka, they were able to held Arsenal to a draw in the first leg even though Arsenal played with one man down then.

However, Arteta has always been a subject to be blamed whenever Arsenal lose or a draw any match because his stubbornness is always contributing to the points loss; he is always making some decisions that he usually regret after the game, and if he keeps this mentality, he will never win the EPL anytime soon. As an Arsenal fan, I am not happy with the outcome because this is a clear opportunity to reduce our point gap with Liverpool.

Manchester City thrashed West Ham today at the Etihad and I think we aren't talking much about how improved they are now after enduring a poor run both in the English Premier League and in Europe. With their win today, have now won their last two games and picking maximum 6 points after winning just one in 13 games in all competition. Manchester City might not be back to their best but the truth is they're getting maximum points at the moment.

I don't think Arsenal are serious title contenders in the Premier League, even if they really try to win it every season.
They always fail to maintain consistency every season and their performance is often disrupted which in turn creates a points gap with the top. Liverpool, who currently have 2 matches in hand, still have a distance of 5 points above Arsenal, who have played 20 matches. Of course, with this, Arsenal seems to be confirming that they are not good competitors to win the title.

It is possible that Nottingham can match Arsenal's points because Nottingham has not yet played its 20th match. Manchester City won today, which was their second win after winning over Leicester. Manchester City are starting to improve and will try to improve their consistency, in fact I really feel that over time Manchester City will return to the top flight even if they don't win the title.

Manchester city can finally continue their spectacular victory for them, because we know that lately they have not been concentrating at all and have not played well as they have done. But two matches with 6 points have made them return to their best form by winning matches with big scores. Haaland has also managed to find his sharpness again because he managed to contribute two goals in this match.

This victory certainly opens the way again for Manchester City to return to the top 4 and indeed the competition will be stronger because several teams appear more consistent such as Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. In addition, Arsenal's failure is of course very disappointing because they failed to stick to Liverpool after they shared points in today's match. Liverpool seems very happy with the results obtained by Arsenal in today's match.

Manchester City has been out of form for a long time. Manchester City has been consistently performing poorly. We have seen Manchester City lose even against smaller teams. However, in the match against West Ham, Manchester City's players did not make any mistakes. After a long time, Manchester City won by a big margin. Although Manchester City conceded one goal in this match. Still, City achieved a great victory of 4-1. And this victory was very necessary for Manchester City. Due to the victory in this match, the confidence of Manchester City players will increase. As a result, Manchester City will be able to play well in the upcoming matches.
There is already improvement in Manchester City's performance. After losing so many matches, they lost to weak teams, which they were supposed to get an easy win from, but Manchester City has been able to win their last two matches, which is really a nice one for them. I guess they are beginning to get things right. Haaland, who hasn't been scoring for some time, has started scoring. Manchester City is now a club that every team will have to be scared of because they are gradually getting back to form.
I don't know if you already know that Manchester City have a history with January openings and the records has it that from January, Manchester City is strongest and continue to win their matches always. It was this period onward they overtook Arsenal few seasons to win the league and they have already shown signs that this season will not be different. Trashing Westham today is a good way to prove that January is their time to shine and I hope they continue in that direction. I will be looking forward to seeing how they will perform when they meet any of the big teams, that will confirm what seems to be their January record.

And speaking of Manchester city, you don't judge a team performance based on their performance on just one game, them beating westham is not a sign of come back, westham is a weak club compared to man city, you and I know this, wait until they meet a stronger club before concluding.
Winning consistent two games could be a sign of recovery for a team that won only one game in twelve matches. Saying that they won West Ham because it is a weak club is not totally correct. City was unable to win Crystal Palace and Everton, both games ended in a draw. Meanwhile, West Ham have more points than these two clubs City drew against.

Just as you said, we cannot conclude that they have returned back to normal quality but I think there is an improvement. More future games will either affirm my claims or dispute it.
We are basically driving toward the same point, we need to see their performance in more games to indeed tell if they are back or not, and you did came up with some good points as regards my comment about WestHam being a weak team compared to Manchester city, you are right in this aspect and I have to agree with you, but on the other hand, winning in football games and earning points can be out of luck you know, so in other words, the fact that West Ham have earned more points than Crystal palace and Everton may not necessarily mean that they (west ham) is a club with stronger players - I hope you get the context I am coming from.

But all the same, like I believe we both agree on, I personally like to not believe in stuffs too early in other not to end up disappointed, so, we wait and watch man city's performance in their next match to tell if indeed, they are back.

Chelsea I think is surely going to end in the top four of the English Premier League but I expected more from Enzo Maresca's men than a fight to finish the season in a UEFA Champions League qualifying spot. The Arsenal game at Brighton have just finished with both teams getting a point each after they played out a 1:1 draw which was also the same scoreline Chelsea match against Crystal Palace finished. Nottingham Forest are still occupying the third position with 37 points but will match Arsenal's 40 points if they manage to win at Wolves on Monday
I think Chelsea will not easily finish in the Champions League zone, Newcastle and Manchester City are starting to perform more consistently now. Even Arsenal position is not safe, with the pressure starting to increase and they still often lose points. Sharing points is not bad for Chelsea, they have improved a little, because in the previous two matches they lost. Arsenal were actually expected to secure full points at Brighton home, the draw they got seemed more disappointing. Besides, I think Nottingham Forest has a fairly high chance of winning when facing Wolves, because the performance of the two teams is very different.

Chelsea and Arsenal decided to draw their match today after scoring first against their opponent. To me am more disappointed in Chelsea for not winning Crystal Palace, if they claim they are better than last season then Crystal Palace should be a team that is easy for them to win. As for Arsenal they fail to play over 2.5 goals today again. Last week they did the same thing. The premier league is becoming more and more difficult to predict as time passes.
Lastly Manchester City are back today. That was the only match that tooky attention today. Winning 4:1 was a causal thing City does in the past. I hear Rodri is back and it might be a good start for City again this season.

Today's match was even less compared to the previous ones, because last match they won, but they played terribly, I think if a little bit more and they would have lost to Leicester, because Leicester against them very well held and even attacked. Today they improved and kept the situation under control, they seemed to work well together, so I think they are slowly recovering

Chelsea already secure one goal under first half against crystal place and from what I am seeing this game could likely be a draw game.

The only one goal Chelsea scored against Crystal Palace came as a result shot on target by Palmer in the first half. Could you believe that was the only shot on target Chelsea was able to make before the match turned out to be a 1:1 draw? Crystal Palace on the other hand pressured Chelsea all through the match with 6 shots on target.

Chelsea's performance has depreciated tremendously. Their defense and frontline are no longer as formidable as before. Any team in the Premier League can win them if they mean to. I am no longer sure whether they can make it to the top 4 this season.

Arsenal leads Brighton by 1goal to nil thanks to a  Nwaneri goal and if they hold on to their lead this will put them 3 points behind Liverpool who have 2 games in hand to get to 20games...and looking at the log it's interesting to see how Nottingham is now in the top 3 rubbing  shoulders with the elite and playing some good football that we can't ignore them...but I believe Chelsea should pull through for a top four finish despite dropping points of late.

Manchester City has been out of form for a long time. Manchester City has been consistently performing poorly. We have seen Manchester City lose even against smaller teams. However, in the match against West Ham, Manchester City's players did not make any mistakes. After a long time, Manchester City won by a big margin. Although Manchester City conceded one goal in this match. Still, City achieved a great victory of 4-1. And this victory was very necessary for Manchester City. Due to the victory in this match, the confidence of Manchester City players will increase. As a result, Manchester City will be able to play well in the upcoming matches.
There is already improvement in Manchester City's performance. After losing so many matches, they lost to weak teams, which they were supposed to get an easy win from, but Manchester City has been able to win their last two matches, which is really a nice one for them. I guess they are beginning to get things right. Haaland, who hasn't been scoring for some time, has started scoring. Manchester City is now a club that every team will have to be scared of because they are gradually getting back to form.

But I just think it's already too late for Manchester City to compete for the title race this season, Liverpool which is in first position, is already ahead of Manchester city with so many points, which will be very difficult for Manchester City to cover up. Liverpool is currently ahead of Manchester City with 11 points, and Liverpool has two matches to be played, which they have higher chances of winning those two matches. 

So Manchester City will just have to fight for the top 4, but winning the Premier League title this season will just be difficult for Manchester City, because Liverpool are not ready to drop points.

Arsenal might end up getting only a point from this game since Brighton have equalized the match. J. Pedro has just cancelled E. Nwaneri's first half goal. The match has entered the final minutes, the Gunners would have to win this game to keep the hope of winning the EPL alive. A draw from both Chelsea and Arsenal will be beneficial to Liverpool. Meanwhile it seems like Manchester City have identified and solved their problems. So we might see them coming up to overtake both Chelsea and Arsenal.
Arsenal game with Brighton has ended in a 1:1 draw, unfortunately for Arsenal but way better than them getting defeated, I was actually afraid they were going to loose the game to be honest, but good for them the game ended in a draw.
And speaking of Arsenal's hope of winning the EPL, it's not this season, they already lost this chance a long time ago on several failed/lost games back, so, right now, I think they are just fighting to remain in the top 4, Liverpool have a very high chance of winning the title this season.

And speaking of Manchester city, you don't judge a team performance based on their performance on just one game, them beating westham is not a sign of come back, westham is a weak club compared to man city, you and I know this, wait until they meet a stronger club before concluding.
Of course, Arsenal fans shouldn't put their hope that a miracle can happen which would make them win the title, because Liverpool is ahead of them and we cam see how consistent they are in their matches. Not just only EPL but in all competitions. I could remember when last season ended, Arsenal was hoping they could win the trophy this season, but from the look of their performance, it's obvious they wouldn't.

City will be very happy that they won West Ham despite West Ham weaknesses this season, and I would say that it was a consoling victory because they have lost so many games. But that doesn't mean that they are back in form.

What can we expect from Manchester City in this 2025. They won their game against Westham today. Rodri is back and the team has increased in the performance in their last two games. Will they be able to come back up and win the league? I doubt so, because they are very down in terms of point in the League table. The gap between Liverpool and City is not something that can be easily closed. It will take Liverpool to lose up to 4 games for City to be in the top which is nearly impossible for Liverpool to lose so much.

Apart from the City game i becoming so impressed with the way Chelsea is playing today but they are still one goal ahead of Crystal Palace. The faster they score another goal in the game the better for them to the three points home. However, i like the duo between Palmer and Sancho. Both players are highly into each other in the game and they have giving Chelsea the lead they deserve today.

Now that Manchester City is winning matches now no one will come out and say that is because of Rodri that is why they didn't play well before, I said before that Manchester City's poor performance is not from Rodri but some people think that Rodri's absence affects the team, I know that Rodri is very important for the team but only one player can not miss and the whole team can not win a match, Manchester City players have begun to have a confidence of winning games and it is very good because if the team keep losing I believe the team will take action against Pep Guardiola.

And about Chelsea's match against Crystal Palace, I know that the match is going to be tough because Crystal Palace this season is a tough team, Chelsea's coach and the players have already informed us from the beginning of the season that they are not in a race of title contenders and that is the performance we are seeing from them in their last 4 matches, To be honest Chelsea performance is not good in their last 4 matches and they need to do well if not they will soon see the team in the 6th or 7th position before the season end.
