Arsenal are one team that’s improved so greatly between last season and this current season. They’ve gotten and tried to build a very good squad depth and this is what’s key to garnering success in any competition. Last season they were so close on winning the league but due to some certain injury they were overthrown by City who went on to win the league. Now this led to them being able to build up for this season and they have been able to build both a 1st and 2nd team consisting of very good players that are able to deliver.

 I think after this, all eyes will be on Arteta and how much he’s able to perform with this squad depth. Well the fans wouldn’t want him to bottle it up anymore this season because they so want to celebrate a title of their own after a long while. Unluckily, the full squad of Liverpool is getting back and fit and you can say same for City who are now getting back their scoring boots on and this means more trouble and work for Arsenal to be able to go last these 2 teams. Sincerely it’s not going to be any easy but Arsenal can try to at least get some wins to their advantage.

 They still have some top games especially with City which when they get all 3 points it’s a big boost for them. Arsenal must try to maintain their winning streak and also their ability to score very high goals because soon those plenty goals will be needed. Arteta must real be under pressure and looking for ways or means to be able to go past these hurdles and win the league. I know how much this seem challenging but he’s got a good and balaced squad and with the right tactics, he’s sure to achieve victory in the league especially.

They were keys of manchester city to won everything last season. Pep is trying to repeat the same story again this season but things are going even harder for manchester city caused by some competitors which were performing so poorly last season have been comeback stronger. Haaland and de bruyne still become scary combination.
De bruyne is city's brain while haaland is executor. City's performance dropping a lot caused by those guys were injured but they are not so healthy to face any game. Luton has already destroyed by haaland the next match will be united that will get the same result as luton in the last match.
The only thing that can reduce the attacking line of city is playing passively to put all of the players in the penalty box like what chelsea did. MU will have no chance to win over manchester city if it will play openly. I demand ten hag to be replaced asap if he will force his club to play openly at etihad stadium.


They are still having the same chances. Nobody able to predict the result accurately but their mentality will be fully tested. A very strict competition is happening now and neither of them were dominating it but im sure the winner will be between liverpool or manchester city.
Arsenal's mentality is still weak enough and it's not even good enough to pick this as a favorite club to win EPL. My choices will be on liverpool or manchester city. These clubs have a winning mentality and im sure the winner will be between these clubs.

Currently Arsenal is leading with goal points they just have to secure the top position and make sure they win all matches. Although it wont be that easy for them. But looking at the teams they have to play they have less stronger teams to play against win in this remaining 12 matches.

The teams that are yet to play that may give them little difficulties are Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Luton Town. The rest are workovers. If they are able to win these club i mentioned them are likely to win the EPL title. Chelsea is the strongest of them all here that would be a bi g rival to Arsenal. We saw what they did to Manchester City if not that Haaland came to the rescue it would have been a clean defeat.

We shall give luton credit caused by at least this club could still score two goals against manchester city which was using the best line up. They did everything very well but the quality was determining the result from this match. Luton is incomparable to the manchester city. MU will be the next.


The second leg of UCL has not yet began. City can still breathe for a while. The anticipation of an easy victory against united is expected to have a positive impact on City's performance in the second leg against Copenhagen at home.

I think the German Football Association popularly known with their abbreviation DFB was very careful with the terms in their contract with Julian Nagelsmamm when they signed the German manager last year September to continue the management of the German national team after Hansi Flick was sacked for poor performance. The DFB didn't give Julian Nagelsmamm a long term contract probably because they're not fully convinced that Nagelsmamm will deliver. The current contract between the two parties is gonna expire after the UEFA Euros Championship that'll played this summer and that's why I think it'll be very possible for Manchester United to get the services of Julian Nagelsmamm if they really wish to sign him to the club this summer.

The current manager of Manchester United have managed the club players for the past two seasons but he's yet to make a significant improvement in the team or show a remarkable result of he was able to achieve with the team. This season, the club is still struggling to make it into the top four if the English Premier League table and as a club that's big as Manchester United, that's the least of things they should be worried about at this time of the season. Julian Nagelsmamm I think will be a better manager than Erik ten Hag so I think the club should go for him this summer

Indeed, from the start Man City was the favorite to qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals, but many did not expect Man City to qualify with a fantastic performance and beat Luton with a big score. From here we can judge Man City with the return of Kevin De Bruyne, Man City's performance is getting fiercer, because when Kevin De Bruyne plays City's game it becomes more exciting and goal productivity increases.

In that match, Haaland scored 5 goals and Kevin De Bruyne provided 4 assists. This is proof that these two players, if played together, will be very frightening for their opponents. A good win for Man City as a warm-up ahead of the Manchester derby match. Man City in March faced tough matches such as Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

There is a very visible difference in the quality of the two teams in this match and I think city ability to beat their opponents has been very great, so far manchester still maintains the opportunity to win in several existing competitions including the FA Cup, if we look at this matc of course luton is not a worthy opponent for manchester city, and even Luton, they had to concede a goal after only 3 minutes of the match, so it's not surprising that Manchester City can scored 6 goals in that match because Luton defense was quite bad, even though they managed to get two goals back in that match, unfortunately Luton wasn't enough able to overcome the aggressiveness of Manchester City game in the match.

Right now manchester city succeeded in continuing their positive trend and of course they are now getting closer to winning the trophy, 6 teams from the premier league and 2 teams from the championship managed to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and i think we will have the potential to see a big match in the FA final match later.

There have been only a few months since Nagelsmann started his job at German national team. However his contract makes me doubt about his future there. Because it is only until July 31, 2024. The board must have wanted to see his performance in Euro 2024 and then make a decision about extending his contract longer than that.

For this reason there is a chance that Nagelsmann can be free agent by the end of Euro 2024 also. If Manchester United wait until that time then who knows?  

Nagelsmann has had a big leap in his career so far. Maybe he can be a good choice for Manchester United if there isn't any available better alternative to sign.

None suggest him but we may see that the fans to urge him to leave if arteta will repeat the same result like last season. FYI, arsenal has 91% win rate last season but it's losing the trophy. There shall not be another tolerance for arteta if he keep bottle PL title this season. It's hard to measure whether arsenal's mentality has improved or it';s still remain the same.
Arteta's future totally depend on the result in UCL and EPL. These are the keys owned by him to stay even longer in arsenal. Kroenke has spent a lot of money to fill arteta's wishes to build his club. So, there must no be an excuse if arteta will fail to manage the club to get a title this season.

People are slowly getting upset if arteta keeps earn nothing from all of his efforts with the club. Expecting salah and nunez will be back soon. So, tougher competition is awaiting for arsenal. Manchester city is coming back to the its best performance again.
Another hard test is coming for arsenal. Im sure the fans will be booing arteta if he keeps deliver nothing to the club. The current squad looks very potential to win EPL but don't forget there are liverpool and city are also ready on winning it soon.

Im not favoring arsenal to win the competition but this club has almost same chance as city and liverpool to take EPL trophy. Arsenal consistently winning the game with big scores and it makes whole fans trust it to get EPL trophy.
It's failed in the FA cup. There must not be another bad result for the gunner.

The English Premier League is their only hope at the moment to win the title because Arsenal has been eliminated in the FA Cup and the Champions League is even more difficult for them, even when Arsenal was in their glory days they couldn't do much in the tightest competition because in the Champions League all the best teams in their respective leagues gather to compete.
They must not give up until there is no longer a chance to become champions because currently the opportunity is still wide open and they must be able to maintain their performance, last season's mistakes must not be repeated.


Last season's failure also involved players getting injured and that is the most frightening thing for all teams when they are in critical moments, especially Arsenal's squad is relatively young so they don't have the experience when under pressure and their coach still lacks experience.
This will be one of the tightest seasons of competition because there are three teams competing for the championship because in previous seasons there were usually only two teams left competing when it entered the middle of the season but this time it is quite different and very interesting when the champion is determined in the 38th match week.

Manchester City qualify for the FA Cup quarter finals after flogging Lutom Town 6-2 at Kenilworth Road. This is one of the huge scores for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola is happy to watch his team succeed this season. He has a target and achieving them becomes ultimate goal. Manchester City are lucky enough to have Kelvin De Bruyne back to the squad, he's a playmaker and his presence on the pitch means good news for the top attacker, Erling Haaland. He becomes very confident of netting easy hattricks in games. Haaland goals are hitting milestones and flying to unique standards.

I don't think anyone is suggesting they give up, especially when the points difference is just 2 between them and the top of the league. Last season they got hit with some injuries, plus some of their players made mistakes in crucial matches that affected their form. I bet they learn from that, even though some of their decisions are still not the best, such as not buying a striker to improve their attacking quality. Sure, they score 5 or 6 goals in the last matches or so, yet lose in the Champions League in the first leg. Their mentality should've improved too, so the competition should be tight until the end of the season. If anything, Liverpool is the shaki†est one considering how many key players are injured. I'd be surprised if neutral fans still put Liverpool on top of their prediction on who will win the league this season.

Yes, we cannot forget about Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title because the difference between the top three clubs is very thin and the opportunity for all three is still wide open for Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. It's natural that Arsenal is in doubt at the moment and people are placing their hopes on Liverpool and Manchester City only because Arsenal's performance last season was disappointing where Arsenal failed to break Manchester City's dominance because they slumped towards the end of the season, giving Manchester City an opportunity to become Premier League champions.
Even so, Arsenal should not just give up, many people have their hopes on Arsenal under Mikel Arteta to show their abilities and win the title and still compete fiercely with the top two clubs. Arsenal must maintain their consistency so that their opportunities are still wide open.

Yes, it's true that from season to season, Arsenal's performance is very good in the Premier League, but they don't maintain their performance to become champions. Indeed, this is not an easy task for the club because competition in the Premier League is very tight, even though last season Arsenal's only rival at the top was Manchester. City, but now Arsenal has one more strong rival, namely Liverpool, who also wants to win the Premier League title. However, to be honest, the competition in the Premier League is very interesting among other leagues. It seems like the other leagues will already see who will be the champion, while the Premier League is still a question mark because the competition between the three is still quite tight at the moment.

These lads have such great understanding and combination and it's beautiful to see that honestly. I saw just the highlights of the game, why was Jack Grealish substituted? Is it that he wasn't doing enough or due to Injury? It seems like Pep Guardiola demands too much from Jack and he hasn't done well?

Five goals for Erling Haaland and them, four assists for Kevin De Bruyne. But how long can he perform at a top level like this? Manchester City indeed has really been a big home for him as he is welcomed at all times back to the club.

Ahead ahead would be Manchester United as they travel to Etihad to play against Manchester City. With the way they played clueless tonight, they'd yeah struggle against Manchester City. Erling Haaland to score another hat trick?!

An amazing achievement, he was close to scoring a double hattrick.
That's a bit of relief as it was starting to look like he had developed some mental block, as he wasn't quite able to score in recent games despite having really good situations. But if 5 goals in one game doesn't restore his confidence, nothing will.
They're playing against their arch-rivals, Man United on Sunday. City is a massive favourite but those games are unpredictable and City needs Haaland in good disposition.

Haaland's goals in the fifth round of the FA Cup are cool
But It's not news. My prediction was four goals, but here it became five goals
Five goals from Haaland and four Assists from Kevin, The Haaland-Kevin link-up is back.
Erling Haaiand and Kevin De Bruyne are the best duo the game has ever seen.
And they will kick out Copenhagen in the last 16 of the Champions League. No one can stop them.

Manchester United failing to break down a Nottingham forest side that looks determined to spoil the Red devils night,and from what am seeing they are actually looking more dangerous than the visitors...not sure if them playing away has a psychological effect but not impressed with what am seeing tbh... could this be because they don't have Hojlund as their top man to make things happen in the goal scoring department, otherwise United not impressive without him. Btw today Onana does look sharp and credit should go where it's due

When De Bruyne is having a good day and providing for the strikers, be assured goals will be produced and we saw this happen for Halaad who we thought was still finding his form and yesterday could have unlocked that missing piece.

Those two players are very good to Manchester city and they have brought so much favour to Manchester city and, what they displayed yesterday show that their absence during the injuries is what caused Manchester city to reduced points to this level they are now in the premier league table.

 I don't think they will win this trophy this season because, Liverpool and Arsenal have show some improvement that will make Manchester city not to repeat what happened last season in this season, even though Erling Haaland and De Bruyne play the tournament through out.

Superb game for Haaland and De Bruyne yestarday.
The opponent was weak for sure but they did great.

They hare in hot state when it matters, for the final stage of the season and for the upcoming Champions league games.

Agree, Ten Hag issue sparks again after the lost against Fulham and forgot that Manutd have unbeaten in the 7 previous games with 6 wins and a draw.

And to terminate Ten Hag contract until 2025, Manutd must pay around $19M + a few $M for other staff, and hire a new manager + staff = more money.
Better buy new players than waste money like that, also there is no guarantee either the new manager will be instantly successful in their first year.
