Yes , you are correct Man City performance is good but top performance we didn't see in last matches and players are playing well but we expected more from them. I think Liverpool is best team for that tournament but players did well for that matches.
The city still have problem with injured player, Kevin De Bryune as play maker team can not be exist for long time. I don't know how it possible for next week?, but while he was injured, the city performance is not better without him. but, I think, The city have a better substitution which can replace who injured player. A player like Gundogan and Covacic are enough good to filled up KDB position, but still is not effective like KDP turn as starter. When I look how hard they won on the last match versus Wolves, the city is still need a person how have fascination like KDB.

i am definitely not looking forward to manchester united's game this weekend cause i don't believe they can win,thats to tell you how low the club has fallen.if united was a serious club ten haag would have gotten his sack letters a long time ago,if he was coaching any elite european club he would have met that fate but he's still the manager because of the kind of low mentality that is now prevalent in the club.he has shown time and time again that he can't deliver the glory days of manchester united and attain the lofty heights he was employed to attain so why is he still at the club.this is really shameful to the management.ten haag can and will never be another sir alex ferguson and the earlier the management realizes that the better for them and the team in general.
As much as I will like Arsenal to win the match against Liverpool, I also have to agree with you because I also hate it when a person displays over confidence, I was being hopeful for Arsenal to beat Liverpool in their coming encounter, but after reading that which Arteta said, my hope and believe in Arsenal winning has dropped to a very significant level.
I don't care if arsenal win, and regardless of who is going to win the only person that can decide that will be Liverpool either they want to win or they will lose and Liverpool will not lose to arsenal because they already in an unbeaten stage Liverpool hardly lose games this days and they look more committed this season and they really want to compete with us the city. Arteta is no good shape for now, defeating Liverpool will only happen in his dream, from the beginning I know that arsenal this season looks weak This season because of the decision their coach have been making.

I believe many of us here will know this saying that "pride goes before a fall", in a game like football, what Arteta said there may seem to him like having faith in his team, but to some of us, it's pride, after woefully losing to Bournemouth in their previous match, it's annoying to read this statement of his 😠
When you are to confidence if your self to much and that is what is killing a lot of clubs and that is what is affecting arteta we know, that arsenal was improving, but they feel to confident and they would have stick to their way of playing, than trying something new and now is affecting them. He said he as faith in is club, but his not making the right decision for them. Losing to Bournemouth was somthing thay changed everything and now Arsenal moght be struggling till the season ends.
Arsenal's reason for losing their last match, which was against Bournemouth, was due to some of their players that are injured, including Saliba, who received a red card in the match. Those players that were absent against Bournemouth won’t still be playing against Liverpool, so it’s really going to be affecting them. That's the reason why most people just believe that Liverpool will be winning the match, and Arsenal playing defensive games won’t really favor them this season. Arsenal is having a strong defense, which is always difficult for any club to break, but they have been finding it difficult to score in most of their matches. If Arsenal can get a draw against Liverpool in the match, it’s going to be nice for them, but it’s going to be difficult for them to get a draw.
Even with the red card they should have won that game hut Gabriel Martinelli messed things up with that chance he had to score a goal. Kiwor also came on to commit a huge blunder in that game which twated the same plans they had to salvage a point outta the game. That defensive style affects the players and most of these players are not aggressive kind of players this could be one of the core reasons why they're been carded anyhow. I'm still rooting for them but Mikel Arteta has to swith tactics to a more possession base kind of football at least, they strategy win them games. Against Liverpool will be hell tough but will they take three points at home?
It's natural that Liverpool will do well in the Premier League with Manchester City and Arsenal but I don't understand how Aston Villa are suddenly doing so well this season. At the moment, in the English Premier League, Arsenal and Aston Villa have the same number of points,17, and Aston Villa is only four points behind the team in the number one position of the points table. The way this team is performing, if they continue this performance throughout the season, it can be seen that they are competing well for the title with the number 1 or 2 teams in the points table. Having seen Manchester City and Arsenal compete in other seasons, it's good to see other teams competing this season.
Aston Villa's good performance has been seen since last season in the Premier League and was in the hunt for the title but unfortunately it declined and finally finished in 4th place, it was still a good improvement but it seems that this season Aston Villa has improved again not only in the Premier League but in the Champions League Aston Villa's performance also attracted attention I think Aston Villa will again be the 4th club in the hunt for the title this season if it performs consistently it is not impossible that its ranking will increase even more especially since the points difference with the top of the standings is not that big. The hunt for the Premier League title is always interesting every season because the clubs in the top 4 compete tightly one mistake will affect their position. 
Yes , you are correct Man City performance is good but top performance we didn't see in last matches and players are playing well but we expected more from them. I think Liverpool is best team for that tournament but players did well for that matches.

However it may be, fixture of Liverpool versus Arsenal is what every good football lover will want to see this time around. I will advise gamblers to avoid the match or bet it on goals. BTTS is inevitable in that match.kre risky selection should be GG & Ov 2.5.

Calafiori's condition has yet to be confirmed, but he is almost certain to miss this weekend's big clash with Liverpool. Obviously, this is a big blow to Arteta, in the context that Calafiori is playing with high form and Arsenal is not too strong in the left-back position.

I also disagree if it is said that Liverpool is behind Arsenal because, basically, Liverpool is still a better team than Arsenal. I personally do not care about their position in the standings but I think it is clear that Arsenal is still not strong enough in the competition for the title. Indeed,in the last two seasons Arsenal has become a better team for its competition in the title, but in reality Manchester City's dominance is still very high. Thus, it would be more appropriate to say that Arsenal is behind Manchester City and Liverpool, because in reality Arsenal often fails to maintain good and consistent performance, and that is also what makes Arsenal still fail in the trophy race from season to season lately.
But I think in the last 2 seasons City's dominance is not as high as the previous season. Last season Arsenal was 2 points behind City because they lost in several important matches at the end of the season. This shows that Arsenal is at the same level as City. This season I think City, Arsenal, Liverpool can compete for the EPL title. Of course City is the first favorite. But other teams also have a chance because City's dominance is not as high as a few seasons ago. City has good squad depth but it seems that Rodri's injury has had a significant impact on City's game.Liverpool and Arsenal position is comparatively high and Liverpool has 21 points on points table and I am impressed by the performance of these players aww and the mindset of players with which they are playing the matches.All teams played 8 matches but that points of all teams are different due to their performance. But I am supporting Liverpool team.
Arsenal cannot be underestimated even though their current performance is not very consistent. Playing at home can increase a player's confidence to give their best and win the match, but it is always difficult to beat a team that is also in good form.
Liverpool have big ambitions to maintain their position in the standings, but they also have the potential to lose in this away match considering that Arsenal do not want to lose more points. Arsenal clearly don't want to suffer another defeat after previously losing to Bournemouth, so they will try hard to end the home game with a win.
Your opinion is very reasonable because the absence of Arsenal important players will certainly have a negative impact on the team's performance.
Arsenal's reason for losing their last match, which was against Bournemouth, was due to some of their players that are injured, including Saliba, who received a red card in the match. Those players that were absent against Bournemouth won’t still be playing against Liverpool, so it’s really going to be affecting them. That's the reason why most people just believe that Liverpool will be winning the match, and Arsenal playing defensive games won’t really favor them this season. Arsenal is having a strong defense, which is always difficult for any club to break, but they have been finding it difficult to score in most of their matches. If Arsenal can get a draw against Liverpool in the match, it’s going to be nice for them, but it’s going to be difficult for them to get a draw. 
Arsenal this season began to be hit by a storm of injuries and reminded me of what continued to be the main problem for them when Wenger was still coaching, at that time Arsenal consistency was often disrupted by the storm of injuries that continued to occur every season and make theru fail to be champhionsip in the end, the defeat from Brentford was quite painful but in fact the absence of Saliba in the match against Liverpool later was a more big loss for Arsenal, Without being able to play some of his mainstay players, of course, Arsenal's chances of winning are very small later because a team like Liverpool will take advantage of every line and weakness of the opponent to get points, I think the match will be a crucial and Arteta may have a solution to rotate his players but it doesn't seem like it will be enough to be able beat Liverpool in the match.
A few days ago Arteta had said they were ready to fly against Liverpool despite the limping team, so let's see if he can prove his words later?
Injuries always stiffles a teams success and this could be one of the reasons why htey haven't won premier league yet as well. I mean if they had no injuries last season, then we could say Haaland and KDB was missing from City plenty of times and Arsenal would have advantage during those times over City and they could have done better and won the league. But looking back, when City was missing those players, Arsenal was missing their players as well, which is why it's such a big issue and I believe they are going to end up with even more issues.A few days ago Arteta had said they were ready to fly against Liverpool despite the limping team, so let's see if he can prove his words later?
The reality is we are not going to ned up with a success from Arsenal as long as they have these issues, they just can't assume the same thing. We need to do better, and I can't see them getting any title this way.
Even if Manchester United coach has found it difficult to get the desired result expected of him, we can see that his team is playing some kind of good football this season than last season. Also knowing too well that Manchester United has improved her team this season is a stepping stone to confidence of good performance. Let's believe ETH knows what he is doing, even if we have our doubts.
Do you think there is any difference in Manchester United performances? I think their performance is just the same as last season, or I will say their performance is even worse this season. Manchester United haven’t played anything special this season, there performance have been poor, they have been disappointing their fans since the season started. I won’t say because Manchester United won their match today, then I will start praising Ten Hag, a match can’t be used to judge if there is improvement in a club's performance. Manchester United played well today, but I won’t be surprised if they end up performing poorly in their next match. Bro on a sincere note here, I am also one of the greatest critique of Eric ten hang and I have also called for his head in the past due to how terrible they were in the field of play, but the hierarchy of Manchester united has refused to concurred to the pressure of the fan base, and they still believe that he can turn things around, which he is gradually doing, though some Manchester united fan would disagree with me because their hatred for Eric ten hang already would make them not to see any good thing he is doing, which is quite understandable, but I believe that logically, this is not the right time to sack him because the team are gradually finding their feat.
So in my own opinion I think since he wasn't sacked when the team was performing horribly in the past, their is no need sacking him now that they have started doing better than before, so I believe that they are actually improving, and hopefully, they will keeps on getting better and better.

Injuries are part of the game but the issue here is a situation where you can't find a suitable replacement for the injured player, I think that is the main issue that Mikel Arteta is dealing with at the moment and as a matter of fact this is also one of the factors that led to their sudden decline during the title race in the past two seasons. Nevertheless, I didn't expect anything from the Arsenal coach, I think he is trying to motivate his team by making those positive statements and to also make his players understand the importance of the game and why it is necessary for them to win that match after loosing to Bournemouth last weekend, but I thing it's going to very difficult for arsenal to beat Liverpool who are in an astonishing form at the moment and would be looking forward to continuing in their winning streak as they have been very defiant to almost all their opponents this season.

After Klopp's departure I thought Liverpool would start falling.But Arne Slot continues to do an impressive work.As a Chelsea fan I got satisfied with our game. But we need to get better. I think we can get a Champions League ticket by finishing this season in top 4.When we think about Arsenal's condition I think the championship race is going to be between Manchester City - Liverpool this season.
In the match between Liverpool and Chelsea Chelsea could only score 1 goal, if they had scored another goal, the match would have been tied. But Liverpool didn't let that happen and won the match by 1 goal. Your thinking was wrong, how could you even think that Liverpool would lose. I believe that Chelsea is a better team but they are not good enough to beat Liverpool. They may lose if other teams that are a few positions below them get stronger. But mostly your point will be seen Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool and Arsenal face off in the same week in which we should most likely expect a Liverpool win.Liverpool is a better team than Chelsea and we all know that Liverpool is capable of defeating Chelsea but if you look at the game Chelsea's performance in the game is very good is just that Liverpool did not allow Chelsea's striker player to have a chance to score a goal, and for what makes Chelsea to not score more than 1 goal in the game is that Chelsea coach did not start the game with the player' that can create chances for the striker, he starts the game with Sancho which is not a good idea for me.
Starting the game with Sancho don't let the left wing position create chances, Sancho has some chances that he should play the ball but he will want to assist rather than score a goal, if Sancho tries the net it would make Liverpool's defensive players struggle and Chelsea striker will have a chance to score, if you look at the game after substitute Sancho and put Neto in the game Neto start entering to the Liverpool box and also create chances for his teammate, I hope with what happened in the first leg of the game, Enzo Maresca will know how to play against Liverpool in the second leg of their match.
But I think in the last 2 seasons City's dominance is not as high as the previous season.

But other teams also have a chance because City's dominance is not as high as a few seasons ago. City has good squad depth but it seems that Rodri's injury has had a significant impact on City's game.
The competition in the English league this season shows a more significant improvement in my opinion, what you said is true about City's dominance so far and it is undeniable that in the last two seasons only Arsenal has been able to compete with them, but this season Arsenal and City have actually experienced a slight decline in performance due to injuries that have befallen some of their main players, But still they still deserve to be considered title contenders although Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa look more prepared in the competition until the end of the season, in my opinion with the rise of team teams such as Liverpool, Aston Villa and Chelsea in league, it is possible that City, especially Arsenal, will find it difficult to continue to compete as a contender for the EPL title this season, Unless there are many changes they make in the winter transfer market later to overcome their (injury) problems.
I also disagree if it is said that Liverpool is behind Arsenal because, basically, Liverpool is still a better team than Arsenal. I personally do not care about their position in the standings but I think it is clear that Arsenal is still not strong enough in the competition for the title.
