Arsenal playing some great football against Aston Villa but the game is far from being finished especially that team Aston has got a goal back which puts some pressure back on Arsenal who were 2 goals up with a safety net, but now looks like they will be a dramatic finish has Villa is full of surprises.

Edit

Seems like I spoke too soon and game is now tied thanks to a beauty goal from Ollie Watkins to level it 2-2 ...let's go team Villa, the Gunners need to be stopped in their tracks.

Well am not suprised to see villa back in the game , I mean with the whole tempo of the game and lots of chances of that the away team have being getting, it was just too obvious that they scored an equalizer but there is still little time in the game and we can see a decider between the both team. Aston villa this season is one of the major teams in the premier league and they have shown and proven that with lots of vigour when they play with the big boys of the league like Manchester city and the rest.

To me this game seems to have been fixed to play draw, because I don't really understand how Arsenal were able to squandered their two goals lead despite being the side that dominated the match. Aston villa came into this match with defensive mindset and they defended pretty well. They didn't have much time to force attack on Arsenal, but how they managed to score two goals in this match is still something that baffles me. Arsenal deserved to win this match, but they were not converting most of their chances.

This is gradually becoming a major concern for Arsenal team, they are missing their scoring chances more than they are converting .Today's match was supposed to be 3 points for Arsenal But somehow they managed to drop points again and Liverpool has extended their lead.

Who would have thought Nunez would save the day? Grin

He entered the game in the second half and turned into a game changer in the last moments. 2 goals scored by him by a short interval... Is the old Nunez back?

What Nunez did today is similar to what Amad Dialo did for Manchester United against Southampton although Amad scored three goals in that match but it is similar in the sense that both of them saved the day. I watched Brentford against Liverpool match from the beginning until dying minutes and I was frustrated because I bet that match Liverpool to win but seeing that there was no goal into late time into the match, I decided to leave. Little did I know that Liverpool later won the match through Nunez. It was indeed a good one for the Reds as they continued their lead in the league.

I'd rather think Haaland's decision to extending his contract for 9.5 years is a signal if nothing will happen with his team related to their 129 charges.

If City would be relegated due the charges, he would not sign a new contract. He leaves for the other big club, but he is in a City's long term project. It means City won't be relegated, and they won't need to sell their players to comply with PSR.

I think Pep may be staying much longer in City.

Aside from the lucrative pay and the fact that it might be possible this charges won't send them to relegation. I think if he really do love City a season in the championship won't really do him much harm.

When Juventus relegated there were still top players willing to stay with them and maybe he can still do the same.

Liverpool still remains clear favourite doe this year English Premier League title. Their performance this season has been outstanding playing 20 matches scoring 48 goals and having 47 points just loosing 1 what an nice performance, while Arsenal the team a lot of people would have thought to have a tight fight for the trophy are having mixed performance for some matches now and are 4 points behind Liverpool who have one game at hand and the lead could increase to 7 points.

Today Liverpool didn't get a comfortable win but Nunez was there to save them. Liverpool really look difficult to stop this season. Arne Slot is having a great season in his first year already. Nobody kept their expectations very high from him to be honest because he wasn't a well-known manager. But now he is surprising everyone with a great run. Now it is important to turn it into success with trophies. For the Premier League, they are the biggest favourite by far if they continue like this.

Although it was difficult to win in this away match, but Liverpool still managed to get three points and this victory was not at all easy to get. Because the two goals that were created also occurred in 90+ injury time, and Nunez managed to make a victory for Liverpool in this away game by making two goals. I just didn't expect that in the end Nunez managed to become a deadlock breaker and provide a victory with a good score for Liverpool in this match. Thus, then of course Liverpool are still firmly at the top of the standings, because Arsenal also looks still ambitious to be able to compete for the title this season.

As much as I would love to see Arsenal lift the premier league title this season, I honestly do not think they will be able to catch up with Liverpool, let alone overtaking them in earned points, I feel like Arsenal lost their chance in the early days of this season, and right now, they seem to have regained a bit of strength, but unfortunately for them, Liverpool took advantage of their (Arsenal) downtime and have gone ahead.

And Liverpool look more strong and consistent so far, if they continue with this performance, Arsenal (like I said before) won't have any chance of winning the title, but maybe they can manage to again, end the season in second place if they stay consistent like Liverpool.

For me, the PL has clearly opened up a lot, and there is a clear winner, which is Liverpool, the team that I thought would continue to compete but whose effectiveness has decreased a little has been Arsenal, however, now another team that almost no one names but that is playing a role that I no longer understand is MU, until now they have not been able to have good consistency and this delays everything, for me one of the things they should do is change their mentality, the coach has already implemented his strategy and it seems that he is not going to change it, so this is complicated, and City is doing very badly.

Liverpool still remains clear favourite doe this year English Premier League title. Their performance this season has been outstanding playing 20 matches scoring 48 goals and having 47 points just loosing 1 what an nice performance, while Arsenal the team a lot of people would have thought to have a tight fight for the trophy are having mixed performance for some matches now and are 4 points behind Liverpool who have one game at hand and the lead could increase to 7 points.

I doubt that though. I wouldn't trust him as he has shown many deceiving performances before as well. No matter what I would focus on selling him and bringing a proper striker in his place unless he starts scoring every game.

Anyways, Liverpool struggled a lot despite creating goal opportunities easily. Now they will hope for Arsenal to lose points. But I feel like Aston Villa won't be able to resist until the end at Emirates. 1.57 odds given for Arsenal win...

That's the funny part of football it is never over until final whistle his Bruce at the dying minutes of the game gave Liverpool 3 points to keep them 7 point ahead of Arsenal.
Nunez performance was wonderful after coming in in the second half of the game he is really a game changer for Liverpool today I Know Liverpool fans will be surprised by his two goals today because he hardly see the net for Liverpool I won't still say if Nunez is back to form but the most important thing there is that he gave Liverpool an important win to keep them 7 point ahead of Arsenal.

It is going to be a tough game for Arsenal winning Aston Villa to close this gap won't be easy but in football anything can happen I won't still be surprised if Aston Villa eventually win Arsenal.

Manchester United needed this win so bad honestly. Diallo was the hero of the game for sure with a lovely hat-trick.

However they had huge problems on making this comeback at the same time. All of their goals came really late. Nearly they could have lost to the last placed team Southampton. There is still a huge problem obviously. They shouldn't be in need of one player to step forward and save the day all the time. The teamwork should be much better than this.

I already have doubts about their Brighton game honestly. Sad

I wouldn't bet on the Red Devils there. Even against Southampton I got very uncomfortable while following it. I just wanted to add it to raise the total odds a little that's all. I hate losing from low odds.

You are right. But I was expecting Southampton to put in a real fight against Manchester United. Southampton are in the rock bottom of the Premier League standing and they would be fighting aggressively to be able to get out of the relegation zone and I knew it would a tough match for Manchester United as their form in the league too has not been strong.

It was a nice fight by Southampton, though the match would have ended in a draw but Amad Diallo worked the magic for United for them to be able to get all three point very late in the match. This series of mixed performances as questioned their cohesiveness as a team. I am sure with Ruben Amorim as head coach he will definitely work on the team's performance to make them play as a stable team.

Today match was really very difficult for Liverpool, even though they were the favorite team and were more favored in the match, but throughout the 90 minutes Brentford was able to keep up and even continue to trouble the defense that Liverpool has, I think with the performance brentford showed in the match we can say that if they were actually unlucky, the substitutions made by the slot really had a significant impact on the creativity of their attacking line, because having difficulty breaking into the Brentford goal throughout the match.
The victory over Brentford has made them even stronger at the top of the Premier League standings, two goals in the last minute have actually shown their extraordinary mentality to get out of the pressure in every game that exists this season.

Indeed, if you look at Manchester City's performance, of course they have not found their best form, but a draw is better than losing points. For me, Manchester City is out of the title race this season because they are quite far behind Liverpool and maybe their target is only to end the season in the top 4. But if other teams are not consistent, of course it opens up opportunities for Manchester City, but it seems like it will be difficult to happen.

Manchester City should see all three points against Ipswich Town. I am confident Man city will struggle to get all points and start a fight to secure their position in the top 4 before the end of the season. As rightly said City is far from the league title but they still have a big chance to get a spot in the top 4 position if they can keep up with consistent winning.

One thing with the premier league is no team is 100% consistent with their wins as such any team can always overtake and replace slacking ones. All City owes themselves is to remain consistent till the end of season so they can have higher chances of securing good position in the top 4.

I think Manchester City fans should be happy with the news that their attacking midfielder has decided to stay with the squad.

It seems that the young player currently chooses to stay at Manchester City for a fairly long period of time, I think maybe it's because he already feels comfortable in this squad until his decision is to sign his new contract to stay. He even said that he hopes to spend more time with this big team.

With Pep himself he feels happy because Halaand is on his team to stay, Actually I myself don't see that this attacking player contributes greatly to his squad sometimes I think this one player is just an extra, but for his current decision he should be able to be better than before and make Pep trust him more.

Haaland seems to want to be a Man City legend if you look at his very long contract extension until 2034 and Pep Guardiola may have left. I'm not sure Haaland will stay because when the club changes coaches the system is also different. Unless later there is a club that wants to pay Haaland release clause in the future.

I'd rather think Haaland's decision to extending his contract for 9.5 years is a signal if nothing will happen with his team related to their 129 charges.

If City would be relegated due the charges, he would not sign a new contract. He leaves for the other big club, but he is in a City's long term project. It means City won't be relegated, and they won't need to sell their players to comply with PSR.

I think Pep may be staying much longer in City.

If the opponents were Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea, a draw might have been fair, but Brentford were weaker than those three clubs and Man City were already 2-0 up until the 78th minute. Although both teams shared points in this match, the result was like a defeat for Man City, apart from them already leading 2-0, the opponent they faced was weaker than them.
There is no longer a target to defend the title after they dropped too many points, they must try to finish in the top four to be able to appear in the UCL next season.

Come on! Leicester City don't need to sign a new player. They will be fukin relegated. They have very small chance to leave from relegation zone, yes, but they're in terrible form. They also financially bad, which is limiting their movement to sign a new player.

This has to be Van Nistelrooy's most difficult situation since he started his career as a manager.

For me, i don't think Leicester City is gonna stay longer. They will obviously back to the Championship. They ain't EPL's level.

The remaining matches are still very long and there is nothing wrong for Van Nistelrooy to try to bring in new players at a cheaper cost to adjust the team's finances. There is still a chance for Leicester as long as the coach can find a way to get out of the relegation zone slowly and bringing in players is just one of the best ways.
Although it looks impossible, we don't know what will happen because sometimes bringing in new players who are not very qualified can sometimes have a big impact on the team.
Van Nistelrooy's task is a little harder but I'm sure he can at least give his best.

To be fair Leicester city has 19th valuation in the league, which means they are one of the worst teams, hence them having something like this doesn't really shock me that much, it was obvious from the start that they would have something like this because they were one of the worst teams to start the league with.

What they could have maybe done would be just playing way above their value, like suddenly be better than ever, but of course that is very rare and usually doesn't happen. So they are really just where they deserve to be, and not really considering anything changing anytime soon. I believe that we are going to be seeing this become a bigger deal, I believe we can't really consider this to be that bad for them, they are aware of their situation.

Leicester City is currently one of the worst teams in the league,their form is really bad and so far they cannot even win against teams they have a direct battle with. If they continue like this the situation will get a lot worst for them. The only smart thing to do here is get 2-3 players while the transfer window is active and save this season.

Come on! Leicester City don't need to sign a new player. They will be fukin relegated. They have very small chance to leave from relegation zone, yes, but they're in terrible form. They also financially bad, which is limiting their movement to sign a new player.

Liverpool has become the favourite team to win the Premier League, but unlike you, I actually see that the competitive competition will still occur until the end of the season in determining the championship, so even though Liverpool is currently leading but cannot be sure they will be championship because all possibilities can still happen in the remaining 18 matches they have.

Yes, it is a fact that Liverpool has a fairly wide advantage over the other teams, however now things tend to continue to look in Liverpool's favour, and they now have more experience because they are in the lead, I am sure that they will not let that first place be taken away from them, at least not so easily, for me Man City is still somewhat dangerous, it is a team that at any moment can win everything in a row and that is something that they have accustomed us to do in the PL.

Liverpool have so much been consistent in chasing the premier league title and I don't have any doubt about it with the effort they have been able to put in this season.

As for Manchester City it seems they won't be able to catch up with the first position looking at where they are right now and with the recent news I heard concerning Pep Guardiola with his family I don't really know if it will affect to coach the team very well just like in previous season, I don't pray it affects is career because I have seen how same cases like this how it affected so many people career in sports. I never thought a team like Manchester city would be in this position this season.
