An incredible 6 goals from Arsenal! I was really surprised because Arsenal's performance tonight was above my expectations. They just beat Crystal Palace with a score of 5-0 last January and now they have beaten West Ham with an even more fantastic score, 6-0. And it's even more embarrassing for West Ham because they are the hosts. Moyes must really evaluate the team because currently West Ham have not won a single match in the last 5 matches. Making this the worst record among the teams in the top 10 standings when this post was written.
The match currently underway is Aston Villa vs Manchester United. MU still leads 1-0 through Rasmus Hojlund's goal in the first half. Aston Villa had increased their tempo of play but MU's defense was still very good until the 66th minute.

During today games all the favorites won and we need now to see what Arsenal will do tomorrow,if they will win their game the Premier League will be extremely wide open,even if Arsenal does not win tomorrow,still it is wide open.
Arsenal playing against West Ham shouldn’t really be a difficult match for Arsenal, West Ham are not really in form this season, and as we can see, Arsenal are also struggling to win the league title, which I think is impossible. I am expecting Arsenal to start performing poorly, but I guess it’s not going to be now. So I am expecting them to win their next match, but if they can’t win the match, then they shouldn’t even think of winning the league this season again because the two clubs that are ahead of them won’t be losing points easily, and if they have given Arsenal a gap, then Arsenal won’t be able to cover it up.West Ham United has lost only two games at home this season. That's why I disagree that this game should be an easy game for Arsenal. They win a little bit more than 50% of their games away from home, so this is not going to be a sure-fire win for them.
And now it comes to my mind that Arsenal lost their home game against West Ham end of December and the game ended 0-2. How does that make sense if you say that this game away from home should be an easy one because West Ham isn't doing all that well this season? I think there aren't really any easy games.
Arsenal is leading 4 goals in the first half. The domination by the club is still contniue this time. Arsenal was implementing the same strategy used by the club in the previous game. Arsenal has been isolating all of westham's players. This strategy can be countered by playing big wall strategy like put all of players inside penalty box.
It will force the defenders of arsenal to go upfront but westham was not doing it. Some goals were coming from heading the ball. Westham is not performing so well in this match. It needs a miracle for westham to score 4 points only in the second half. The chance was pretty small for westham to win the game.
The club takes the wrong step since the start of the game. Another mistake being made by westham. Moyes needs to use the result against arsenal to evaluate the club for the future performance. This is such a disgrace for westham to lose 6 poionts against it.
Another embarassing result for westham since it was able beating arsenal in the first leg at the early season.
West Ham vs Arsenal team has started scoring goals in today's match. Arsenal team is leading by 6 goals. Today's match is almost at the end. Now let's see if Arsenal team can score any more goals. West Ham team has so many goals in today's match. I didn't expect to lose. The players of West Ham team started playing badly from the beginning of the game. I placed a bet in support of Arsenal team in today's match. I already understand that today's bet will win.
What really going on with Westham today?? For a fixture that has Arsenal travelling to the London stadium, I really thought this might be one of those games that could have the hammers dent or slow down the Gunners on their title race.. but getting 4 goals in the first half...I think seeing those Westham fans leave the stadium sums up what I think of the game, otherwise today Arsenal is out to get a result in style, just hope it won't be a Newcastle comeback to follow that might be ringing in their mind.
Anyway 2nd half has started...
Anyway 2nd half has started...
I have always been rooting for Liverpool to win the league this season since to me they are more consistent than Arsenal though i am a Chelsea fan but i hate the fact that City just continue to dominate the league almost on every season while at the end of 2023, they were under performing especially when Rodri and KDB was out and at that time i knew they will bounce at most this year January, just like how they do every season dominating the league from the beginning of the year till that season ends. Also I knew Liverpool only has a chance if they remain consistent and avoid losing or drawing to continue to keep the gap they had against City, since even till now I do not see Arsenal as title contenders but I guess I can say Liverpool failed to do just that, maybe this is as a result of their injury crisis now or maybe inconsistency on their part.
Now Liverpool will be hoping City drop some points in order to top the league well and remain consistent because though they are currently topping the league with their win today but City still has an outstanding match which they may likely win and be topping the league.
This your opinion is really on point and I'm pretty sure the Chelsea fans would be happy and tipping Liverpool to get the league at least if not for anything for the sake of the sanity of we the other clubs in the league. Manchester City have proven to be real dominating and it’s seeming like they’re already dominating again this season. Manchester City is now making the EPL look like a farmers league and we had hopes high on Liverpool to help end this. Now Liverpool will be hoping City drop some points in order to top the league well and remain consistent because though they are currently topping the league with their win today but City still has an outstanding match which they may likely win and be topping the league.
The injury in the Liverpool team affected their performance and made them drop points and now even Liverpool are now wanting City to probably drop points so that they can get back on their solid league at the top of the table. I’ve never seen Arsenal as a contender because they don’t have the matching strength to give Liverpool and City any worry.
The title is actually in both Liverpool & City’s hands strangely. If Liverpool match City’s results and beat them at Anfield then it will be Liverpool as champions, providing Arsenal don’t go on a crazy run. Obviously Man City have it in their hands too, as they could beat Liverpool at Anfield. We could even see a scenario where goal difference decides who wins the title. Also Arsenal are far from out of it too. They take on West Ham today which will not he easy.
The defeat against Arsenal was of course very detrimental to Liverpool because they had maintained a gap in points with Manchester City. It's just that Liverpool suffered a defeat a few weeks ago when facing Arsenal and the result was beyond everyone's expectations, that Liverpool could be defeated by Arteta's men, of course this must be done immediately. Evaluation by Klopp to be able to maintain the performance of his team in the next match and not lose points for the umpteenth time, the most important thing is that Moh Salah can play immediately and recover from injury.Manchester's performance has improved slightly since several of their key players returned from injury, which is why Manchester City could be the toughest competitor for the title this season. Liverpool must also be able to maintain their consistency on the winning track until they reach the meeting at Anfield against Manchester City, despite the possibility This meeting will probably be very tight to determine who deserves to be at the top of the standings and win the title this season, so far Arsenal still haven't had the chance to overtake the two of them because as usual they don't look consistent.
Do you have any info on Salah's return date? He is still injured and this is a quite big problem for Liverpool while fighting for the Premier League championship.
Aside from that in fact it has come out of Liverpool's hand as of now. They shouldn't have lost to Arsenal. Now in case Manchester City beat Brentford in their only game missing they are taking the lead from Liverpool. I guess Manchester City wouldn't lose points in this kind of a critical game.
There is a Liverpool - Manchester City game at Anfield in a month though. I completely forgot about that one.
Liverpool must win that game if they want to become champions. No other option is acceptable.Salah should be back in training next week -
"Mo is going in the right direction. We hope - but we don't know - that he can be a part of training next week. If you ask him, it's next week," said the German in his pre-match press conference ahead of Burnley's visit to Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
"He's going through his paces now, but it's positive. It will be next week or the week after. If you ask him, it will be next week!"

It is all still in Liverpool hand as long as they don't make any error and for what Klopp has achieved so far with Liverpool in this parting with them he definitely deserves such ending of his professional career with the Liverpool team as he told there won't be any coming back in here and he does not know what he will do in the future.

I have a prediction that in today's match there are two possibilities: a draw or Arsenal will win, but of these two possibilities, Arsenal has a greater chance of winning.
Looking at the previous meeting between the two clubs, it is true that WestHam was able to beat Arsenal, but the situation was when Arsenal lost their consistency and I don't think I will bet on that match because I can't guarantee that Arsenal will return to consistency and for me, Arsenal is one of the unstable clubs at the moment.

Arsenal need points to maintain competition in the race for the trophy this season even though if you look at the current possibility Arsen is quite small when compared to Liverpool and Mancehster City but still they have to maintain hope for the sake of competition for the trophy.
I'm still pretty sure with the current conditions Arsenal can still get 3 points in today's match.
Liverpool successfully won 3-1 over Burnley,
Liverpool while maintaining the top of the standings against the city, I am happy to see the progress, I hope Liverpool makes us a happy ending at the end of the league. So far Liverpool has 2 different points with the city where has 1 match left. And maybe if Liverpool is careless about the defense, I am pretty sure on the next couple of week the city will beat Liverpool's position on 1st stand. And if the city can do that I'm sure Liverpool will have difficulty chasing that until the end of the league. So, what they can do now is maintain the performance and make it continue stable like today.
Manchester City vs Everton
Everton will be playing Manchester City at Etihad. Will they be able to stop them from entering the top of the premier league table for the first time this season? Looking at Everton's performance last match against Tottenham they had a good performance up to the point of winning Tottenham at their home. Manchester City on the other hand is the champions of Europe they have what it takes to win and remain in the EPL table till the end of the league. In this match i will be playing Manchester City to win and multiple goals of 3 and above. Because i know Everton will score and Manchester City will do everything possible to win at Etihad.
Manchester City managed to win at Everton's home ground, Manchester City should also be able to win because they will play at the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, Manchester City performance is currently difficult to control. So, playing at home against a team that is without a win in the last six matches in the Premier League, Manchester City is certainly the favorite to get three points to record ten consecutive wins and at the same time lead them to the top of the standings.Everton will be playing Manchester City at Etihad.

he was having everything needed to be a good striker. I think that haaland needs to perform better consider that the first half was very disappointed to see how he was unable in making contribution to the club. Im very happy after he is now starting to be productive again.
Im sure that haaland will be also scoring in the upcoming games. Everything are still going very well for manchester city after de bruyne and haaland were coming back again. I hope city will be winning UCL again for two times in a row.
EPL is just a farmer league for manchester city coz this team is too strong compared to the its competitors in the EPL. I think that it's quite clear to see that if city will take the trophy again. EPL shall let city to take the trophy before the end of season coz it will win it.
Now Liverpool will be hoping City drop some points in order to top the league well and remain consistent because though they are currently topping the league with their win today but City still has an outstanding match which they may likely win and be topping the league.

Newcastle got quite good results against Nottingham Forest, Guimaraes successfully scored 2 goals for Newcastle.
Liverpool successfully won 3-1 over Burnley, to be honest I didn't expect it, O'Shea was able to score 1 goal for Burnley at the end of the first half, what an unexpected goal.
I hope so because often we get unexpected things from matches like this, but the odds of Arsenal winning this match reach 64% (West Ham in their last 5 matches continues to get bad results) which is really big and I'm sure they will be able to win it smoothly.

Klopp wanting to get a premier league title before he resigns is definitely on the table and he is getting there slowly. City is still doing great and there is a possibility that they could win the title, and that wouldn't be really a shocker neither, it would make sense and I can see that happening for sure.
However, if Liverpool does end up winning it, that would be fun to see. I am not saying that it is going to be all that easy or anything like that, it is just that we are talking about something that would be a great farewell to a great manager. I hope that people could realize that they could end up with something much better, Liverpool getting both premier league, fa cup and europa cup all on his last season is valid possibility.

That's really his target before resignation, and to be honest it would be lovely if he achieves that. Just like other great coaches like Sir Alex that won a trophy before their Resignation Klopp would add the list and that's why he's trying his best to add one or two trophies to his record, he's close to that but not as close enough, cause City pose to be a very big threat to Klopp achieving the EPL this season.However, if Liverpool does end up winning it, that would be fun to see.

Yeah you're right, adding another EPL title to Liverpool before his resignation would make lots of sense,however Liverpool would really miss Klopp if his resigns and I fear things could get worst for the club if they fail to replace him with a good manager, they could end up like Manchester United, that been struggling to achieve the EPL since the resignation of Sir Alex Ferguson. And that would be very bad for Liverpool.
