If Everton was able to win last night against Manchester City, it was also the result of Sean Dyche's precise strategy.
Maybe Everton will not be a team to be reckoned with against a strong team like Manchester City, but that doesn't mean they don't have the ability to surprise.
Unfortunately, they failed to maintain their lead and had to accept defeat and becoming the second defeat in a row after a very impressive four consecutive wins which also took them out of the relegation zone due to a point deduction.
Everton would have a better ranking than Chelsea if they did not receive this sanction.
In the last match of the year Everton will face Wolves, this will be an even match with equal opportunities for both teams to get full points, but Wolves are better every time they face Everton so it is very possible that this will be Everton's third defeat or they will only be able to get one point.
City simply couldn't afford Arsenal and Liverpool to extend their lead any further, so all they needed was a win. When Everton scored the first goal yesterday, I just thought that this match would be even more interesting, but I had no doubt that City could win.

Or rather, this would have been possible if Everton had taken care of a good defense, but it was very difficult to do this against such a City, and the absence of Haaland did not prevent them from scoring three goals.

If Arsenal beat West Ham, and most likely this will happen, then Arsenal will again lead the standings, and if City wins the missed match, then the lead from the leader will still be within reach and will be 3 points. But maybe I’m rushing to conclusions and I need to wait until the teams play their games.

In the last match of the year Everton will face Wolves, this will be an even match with equal opportunities for both teams to get full points, but Wolves are better every time they face Everton so it is very possible that this will be Everton's third defeat or they will only be able to get one point.

If Everton loses again against Wolves, then it will be very difficult for them to fight in the relegation zone. Currently Everton is only 1 point ahead of Luton and 5 points ahead of Burnley. If you look at the next match, I think Everton's position is still safe from the relegation zone because Luton has to play Chelsea and Burnley will play Aston Villa and predictably of course Chelsea and Aston Villa will be more favored in that match.

Manchester City managed to win here with a score of 3:1. This match was quite impressive because Everton was able to take the lead first, which made Manchester City fans annoyed because they could easily score a goal against Manchester City. In fact, at first we had doubts about Manchester City's less consistent performance because several times they got unsatisfactory results and now Manchester City was able to ward off the fans' concerns by gaining full points when visiting Everton headquarters.

Finally Manchester City can break the series of bad results. I hope that with this victory, Manchester City has returned to winning ways and at the weekend of 2023, Manchester City will face Sheff Utd. I think this will be a fairly easy match. I want to see Manchester City score lots of goals against the club. weak like Sheff Utd but you still have to be careful, sometimes Sheff Utd's defense can make it difficult for opponents like Aston Villa who couldn't win when facing Sheff Utd.
I just had confidence in City to win the game against Everton yesterday. Even though Everton scored first, one would have thought that City were set to embrace another defeat or maybe a draw again based on they were the visiting side and Everton weren't also an easy going side too but at the end of it all, they came back from one goal down to winning the game with two goals margin.

 Well it's safe to say that City are now back on track in the EPL race and the period of drawback and losses that were threatening to their trophy race. They did well yesterday and it's a boost to their confidence in their game this weekend. Added that they'll be the host too, so definitely it'll be a sure win for them as well. Inasmuch as they had a few losses, they're currently still a better side in the EPL and the contest is still very much on.

Everton played in the way they should have done. Because if they played in an attacking way and took bigger risks then they would have probably got punished hard by Manchester City. Even this game plan wasn't enough to keep Manchester City away from getting that win. But Everton still resisted well until a point.

Haaland is still injured but Manchester City still have very skilled players to score. This was a really needed win for them also as their recent form is quite bad.  Sad

Liverpool won and Arsenal will probably do the same also. But Aston Villa's losing 3 points is good news for Manchester City side on their climb.

if everton wins or draws it might be called lucky.
But if you lose, whether everton create can score goals or not, whether everton to score fast or not the same result cannot get additional points at all.
And anyways everton in terms of squad is outclassed,  manchester city players expensive players and first class players who are bought at expensive prices too.
Financially the club is also very far behind
so if everton loses meet manchester city  it's only natural

Everton are such a lucky team man. They scored a goal with a goal expectation of 0.04 and they are still leading by 1-0 against Manchester City after leaving 30 minutes behind. Manchester City are very dominant statistically as expected. They have many goal attempts but there is still no goal. This must be getting really annoying for their fans by every minute.  Sad

Because Manchester City were already able to win only once in their last 5 matches in the Premier League. If they lose points here too it would be a disaster for them. I know Everton are on the rise recently but we are talking about Manchester City here. The Manchester club must be able to find a way to make a comeback!

You call that winning manage? Jack Harrison's first half goal for Everton was a clear defensive error that was avoidable. Although Everton made many attempts and played very well, their goal was a sheer mistake of Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, that the former Manchester City star, Harrison converted to goal. Harrison had other chances of scoring but for Ederson Santana de Moraes, the City keeper who saved the day. Manchester City also enjoyed similar mistakes by the Everton goalkeeper which was well converted to goal by Bernardo Silva. Indeed luck played a big part in Machester City winning the match but they gave a beautiful performance.

And in the end they were able to beat Everton 3-1. This is a good result for City and they will be able to continue to improve their ranking. Aston Villa's defeat further enabled City to catch up on some of the points they were left behind. The competition in the Premier League is becoming increasingly exciting to watch. But I doubt City will be able to become champions this season because they really struggled when Haaland and De Bruyne were injured. But at least they will be able to secure a place in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

Chelsea ended the first half with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and I kind of wonder which game that would be supervised by coach Pochettino and the Chelsea team won't conceive a goal, 70 percent of the games that he has managed so far this season he hardly won or go home without conceiving a single in the end and this is bad of him and the entire current Chelsea's squad. Obviously it has become certain that Pochettino lacks defensive ability, and I'm beginning to think that this is where one of his problems lies, and the earlier he takes care of it the better for the team going forward.
Mudryk helped chelsea to get the first goal against palace but olise was also equalizing the score but medueke gets penalty and he has been successfully executing it which is good for the club. Chelsea has very high ball possessions but the attacking lines seem unaffective enough in the match against olise. This is also making the club tried so hard but penalty has been helping chelsea to win the game against crystal palace. This is also become the main problem owned by pochettino's club caused by the attacking lines are always being so wasteful.
Jackson is always getting offside which is the main problem owned by the club. Im wondering what solution prepared by pochettino for this. Chelsea gets three points but the performance from attacking lines was so bad.
Chelsea needs also to put this as the main concern. The current striker is no more than a comedian. he was always offiside and jackson doesn't even understand about how to get best position.
The job at Chelsea is much more difficult than coach Mauricio Pochettino initially imagined. Victory over Crystal Palace temporarily helps Chelsea relieve pressure. However, they still ranked 10th, with 25 points after 19 matches. This is not an easy victory for Chelsea, and Crystal Palace has caused many difficulties for Chelsea. When Chelsea had to rely on Madueke's late strike in the 89th minute to get all 3 points. Chelsea has also found a big man's class level when it comes to regaining form.
It was a difficult match. Crystal Palace's performance today is commendable. But Chelsea also played well and deserved this result.

It was nice to see Chelsea back to winning ways again and I can say that Mykhailo Mudryk was one of the best players on the pitch tonight to help Chelsea achieve that feat. The Ukraine international scored the first goal of the game which was later cancelled by Crystal Palace second half goal. It took Madueke late goal to give Chelsea the maximum three points from the game.

Chelsea's main problem since the start of the season is the team's poor ability to create goalscoring chances during games and almost cost them the win tonight. Players like Mudryk, Palmer, Sterling and others needs to step up their games in ensuring that the club becomes consistent with winning their games.

I wonder why Manchester United always get expensive players but perform poorly. Is this because of the failure of their talent scouts to find new stars or because of some reason, such as the club board being interested in the proposal offered by the player's agent. I have no problem buying expensive players if they are a valuable investment asset in the future. For example, I remember when Liverpool made Van Dijk the most expensive defender in the English league and I questioned their reasons at that time but in the end he became one of the best defenders in the world today.
I think the problem is the environment in the club, the spirit of the club's culture has been distorted by pure profesionalism. The influence of player agents on the club's decision-making plays a role. If the club board is swayed by financial incentives or pressures from agents, it could lead to the acquisition of players based on reasons other than their footballing prowess and suitability for the team.

Van Dijk is a prime example that proves the success of making strategic and expensive signings when the player turns out to be a valuable asset and significantly enhances the team's performance. This suggests that, when done judiciously, spending on high-priced players can indeed be a wise investment.

I said it wouldn't be simple because a lot of people were underestimating Everton, and they've already scored first, and Manchester City has already equalized, and the way things are going, no one is giving each other another chance. And they're both suffering, with Everton playing a defensive game and Manchester City having multiple shots on goal. And Manchester City has already taken the lead with two goals I am still waiting for more goals, and I have a feeling they will equalize; and even Manchester City's ball possession is heavy on Everton, and I love how Everton is keeping up with the defense; and the game is almost over.

I don't know what happened at halftime but Manchester United were like a different team in the second half. I really admired Garnacho's high effort. Hojlund was nearly wasting another goal chance but his shot hit the inner post this time and found the back of the net.  Smiley

Congratulations United. It was a good fight, and joy has returned.
What a relief it was when Rasmus scored that goal.
And this is an emotional moment for Rasmus, the team, and the fans.
The tradition of creating dramatic matches has become the identity of this team.
Thanks to the team for trying to bring joy to the fans, but it's not enough
Let's now focus on the next game

I saw that Chelsea have got an early lead in the match I was very happy for them that at least they need to have some win in order not to fall lower than the 11th position they are occupying currently. Since this season Chelsea's favorite position has been 10th and from 10th they go to 12th from 12th they come back to 10th. I really thought that this match against Crystal Palace could change the narrative.

Palace in the other hand is not in their best form this season but one thing about that club is whether they are in good form or not they have the ability to stop a any club from winning even if they cannot win. That club has some resistant spirit that can throw up surprises when you do not expect it. This night they could also give Chelsea a bad result

Premier League will start tomorrow Brentford vs Wolves team match. Which team is stronger between the two teams will be understood tomorrow. However, Wolves team did much better in the previous matches between the two teams. Wolves team plays much better than Brentford team. Wolves team goalkeeper is very strong.  For which Brentford are ahead of the team on points table. I don't know if it is right to bet against Brentford team but I will enjoy playing in support of Wolves team.

Wolves is weak when away, from 9 away games they have lost 6 times and win only once.
Brentford is not that strong either at home with 3 wins, 3 draws and lost 3 times.

This match might end in a draw with more than 2 goals.
20 minutes in and already 3 goals have been scored in this match Cheesy
It's obviously very exciting because in a game when there's a lot of goal drama it's a great thing to watch and I'm going to enjoy this game.
Although there is a Chelsea versus Palace match that I would like to watch but I am now still quite happy to see the match against Brentford against Wolves because I think it will be quite fierce considering their strength is quite balanced.

Wolves are currently ahead with goals from Lemina and Hee-Chan but Brentford have reacted by reducing the score to 1-2 now.
Until now Wolves are still quite dominating at least in these 20 minutes but I think Brentford will try in this match to get 1 point if they can't get 3 points.

Boxing Day was quite decent for the Premier League. I mean there was only 1 match with less than 2 goals scored in it. Even in that match there were 2 goals scored.  Smiley  We watched so many goals yesterday and a really surprising events as well. Like Nottingham's destroying Newcastle away by 3-1... And of course there is Manchester United's mesmerizing comeback as well!  Grin

I don't know what happened at halftime but Manchester United were like a different team in the second half. I really admired Garnacho's high effort. Hojlund was nearly wasting another goal chance but his shot hit the inner post this time and found the back of the net.  Smiley
The physical endurance of the players will be tested in the boxing day match where the match schedule which is only a few days break will drain the players energy, many managers will be very worried about managing the composition of their players to avoid injury and fatigue, and that is what makes the boxing day match quite challenging and interesting, currently, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa are fighting to occupy the top of the standings and without a good strategy in the boxing day match for these three teams, they could lose their position.
I saw that when Hojlund scored the winning goal for Manchester he was extremely happy, apart from the fact that it was Manchester's winning goal, of course his first goal in the English league proved that he was starting to get quite hot.

Manchester United had an impressive comeback on this boxing day. They need to come back like this for the rest of the season if they want a spot in Europa League or the Conference league. I was thinking after the half time that Ten Hag might be sacked by tomorrow but his team made an impressive comeback.

Another exciting match was between Newcastle and Nottingham. The underdogs made a huge upset beating Newcastle 3-1.  After the first half it was clear that they were struggling and I'm actually not surprised that it ended this way after seeing them play in the first half. Newcastle's performance was disappointing. They couldn't convert any shots into goals and the only goals they scored was on penalty.
