Man City managed to climb to 2nd place for the time being. The 4-2 win they got over Crystal Palace means they have the same points as Liverpool, but, Liverpool is still firmly in first place because Liverpool still has a better goal difference than Man City.

Kevin De Bryune played very well tonight as he scored 2 goals. Likewise with Haaland, even though he only scored 1 goal, it could be good motivation for him. Man City dominated the game even though they played as guests. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace only seemed to be playing well when the match entered the 80th minute. Behind 3 goals from Man City, it makes they had no other choice but to use attacking football. This strategy looked quite effective because Crystal Palace managed to get their second goal. Unfortunately, they don't have much time and Man City certainly won't give Crystal Palace many chances to score the third goal.

to be honest scoring first against Man City never ends well, and this match was no exception as the champions came back strong. Crystal Palace's defensive strategy didn't work out. Although it wasn't easy for Man City to break through Crystal Palace's defense in the first half, they managed to equalize. Man City often save their best for the second half, scoring beautiful goals and securing a 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace!
The title race is still open, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City all in contention. This result sends a clear message to the top contenders in the Premier League.

That's not necessarily the case, don't underestimate other teams. there are still other matches, even though the opponents are mediocre teams, there are still Tottenham and Aston Villa. So, anything can happen in the remainder of this competition. In fact, I don't dare to speculate too far, because one mistake could have fatal consequences for the three teams we mentioned in this thread. remember, sometimes it goes up and down, sometimes it can happen at any time. So, things are still interesting. Currently City has won full points against its opponent Crystal Palace, now we are looking at Arsenal's match against Brighton.

In this match, Arteta has great motivation so that his squad can beat Brighton smoothly. Playing at Brighton's home ground doesn't mean Arsenal isn't superior. Even though Brighton is often an obstacle for big teams, it seems that this time the bookmakers are giving Arsenal a bigger preference than the home team. Brighton with @5.50, while Arsenal with @1.60. There is quite a clear gap in the match between these two teams.
We know that Roberto De Zerbi's squad doesn't want their team to be defeated, especially at home, but Arsenal will be more focused on overthrowing Brighton in this meeting. especially, ahead of the match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Quarter-Final Match. Arsenal should be able to take advantage of Brighton's unstable condition. So, this match must be a victory for the Gunners.
As for Liverpool, this match will be held tomorrow. well, we can review it tomorrow. Let's just wait for the results of the Brighton vs Arsenal match.

Arsenal only draw in their last ten matches in the EPL was against Manchester City. The extraordinary record that Arsenal has made in the last ten matches with a record of nine wins and one draw makes me doubt that Brighton will be able to overcome Arsenal despite its status as the home team. Arsenal will certainly not make any mistakes in this match, they will try to secure the three points in order to maintain their chances of winning the EPL trophy.

I see that there is a difference in quality between these two teams, Brighton has only been able to win once in their last five matches, the remaining two draws and two defeats. It looks like Arsenal will get an easy win in this match despite their status as a visiting team, victory is Arsenal's target in this match because Liverpool will face a tough opponent in week 31.
Arsenal's chances of topping the standings are very big if they are able to beat Brighton, provided Liverpool have to lose points at Manchester United's headquarters.

I don't see arsenal finding it difficult to win that game, Brighton are a tough opponent to play against, then playing away to them at the American Express stadium makes it tougher, but Arsenal has all it takes to get a win in this game, especially now that Manchester city have won their match,  much pressure will be on Arsenal and Liverpool who play Manchester United tomorrow,

Looking at the table Arsenal sit in third behind Liverpool and Manchester city who are both on 70 points, with arsenal on 68points I think at this point in the league dropping points among these three teams will narrow the possibility of their title hopes, So considering their next fixtures, I will say Arsenal has the tougher opponents to play than Liverpool and Manchester city, so dropping points against Brighton will have a major effect on their title hopes,

For Brighton they sit at 9th position two points behind westham who occupy the final European spot for UEFA conference league next season, I think they will have an eye on that spot and will try all they can to win this game, but I don't see Arsenal dropping points in this game.

As we predict Manchester City will equalize the score then win the match, we know that Manchester City is in the race so there is no reason to lose they will play as much as possible. Currently the score is 2-4 and the match will end in 5 minutes means that Manchester City will get 3 points and for the time being Manchester City took over the 2nd place then Arsenal will take back if they defeat Brighton today. The teams in Top 3 will compete with each other and win every match we will wait for which team is trapped and get bad luck and moments like this will occur at the end of the season because there are some important matches.

De Bruyne quickly equalized, but the first there was a little difficult for City, although they had the advantage, and in the second half everything changed very much, Crystal Peles can't do anything at all, zero shots on the City goal, 19% ball possession, complete dominance City and three more goals, it looks like Haaland and De Bruyne have found their game again. It is a pity that City could not play as well in attack in their previous matches, now Guardiola should hope, that Arsenal will lose points with Brighton, and of course that Manchester United will be able to perform a miracle, and take points from Liverpool.

Both teams defended poorly in the game. Chelsea defenders caused the first goal due to poor communication and the second goal was also a defensive error because Bruno Fernandes was left unmarked even when we had four Chelsea defenders in the box. But it was Manchester United defenders that caused more harm, giving out two penalties and also giving Cole Palmer so much space to shoot. This win gave Chelsea the lifeline to keep fighting for a European spot. The management of United has decided to keep faith with Erik Ten Hag, so we will not see any managerial change at the end of the season regardless of the position the club ends the league.

It is common knowledge that teams in the last minutes of the match (after the end of normal time) their play becomes more relaxed and their performance is not as complete as it was throughout the match, and I mean here especially if the team is victorious during normal time, and this allows for errors to occur that may be Some of them are disastrous, as happened with Manchester and Chelsea. Personally, I enjoyed the match because it was the first match I watched in the English Premier League after a break of more than two seasons.

Also, I don't think it was a difficult match for both teams. On the contrary, Chelsea played with more difficulty, and had it not been for Manchester's complacency in the last minutes, they would not have succeeded in achieving anything.

Crystal Palace at the beginning of the game made an impression of a home team to remind City that they are just visitors but been a higher team compared to Palace City had to change the tone of the game made a comeback and are now leading with a 1-3 in the score sheet. City are poised to keeping up in the race for the title and palace doesn't have that tenacity to hold them from getting the points they need. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool at this stage of the competition can't afford to lose or share a point in any game as that can in a very had way hinder their chances for the title.

In addition to the game with United, Liverpool will have difficult games with Fulham, Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa. Are you really so sure of a positive result in these games? It seems to me that Liverpool will 100% lose points in one of these games. It would be good if not and I would know it 100%, since in this case it would be possible to make several x on the multi-bet.

I don't know whether it's because Ten Hag doesn't have another strategy or the injury faced by Man United is really a big obstacle, but Man United's performance does not appear to be improving. I agree with you. Apart from fitness problems, the morale of the Man United players is not in good condition, and that will clearly affect their performance on the field. This season has clearly been a dark one for Man United. They spend so much money, but it still cannot be a solution to their poor performance. If anyone has to be responsible, I think it should be Ten Hag.

I will be very interested in the Arsenal vs Briton today because that encounter is really going to be a tough one for the gunners, especially considering the fact that Arsenal will be playing away at Briton.The game is going to be very tough,because we all know how Arsenal want the trophy badly,and Briton on the other hand will want to lock them up either with a draw.
If Arsenal wins,and Mancity wins theirs,then Liverpool draws with Manchester United, Arsenal will be topping the table with goals,but if Liverpool wins United,then I'm seeing them lift the trophy already.

Kevin De Bryune, who successfully scored a goal in the 13th minute in today's match, will continue to be a player that Manchester City really relies on. Because currently Manchester City is also one goal ahead of hosts Crystal Palace through their player Lewis and now Manchester City is starting to control the match even though the home team made a surprise with a quick goal through Mateta in the third minute. And from the results that have been seen, it shouldn't be difficult for Manchester City to win and secure the three points.

You hit the nail on the head with Man United's composure - its been a serious issue. I've seen this team snatch defeat from the jaws of victory one too many times. Brentford, Chelsea... its a pattern. Ten Hag, fantastic manager, but he needs to rethink those late-game strategies. Rashford, McTominay - not the answer when the team needs focus. Its frustrating to watch. Its not just about individual players, its about the mindset.

Those substitutions are baffling. Feels more like rolling the dice than a real plan. Theres no flow, no sense of a well-oiled machine. They look lost, unsure how to close out a game. Its not just the points lost, this hurts morale. United needs to work on that mental toughness, and they need tactical solutions. These defensive mistakes, this buckling under pressure, its not good enough. Something's gotta change, or this trend isnt going anywhere

Nice way to come back for Kevin Debryune, after not being available last match. Am happy with whatever results unfold after the Manchester city match because all I want to see is Arsenal beating Brighton later on.
At this point any slip from Liverpool in tomorrow's match against Manchester United will definitely hurt their chances of being league champions because I don't think Manchester city nor Arsenal who are on same point standing would let that opportunity go by.

It is hard to believe if this game is going to end up in draws because Manchester City is always this extraordinary team that scoring of goals is not a problem for them.

It will be so bad for Manchester City if this game ends in draw because it can affect them from getting the title of the league. Manchester City still have the second half to hustle for another goal, they still have a chance of increasing their goals but if luck is not on their side to win the game against crystal Palace it will be of good advantage to arsenal and Liverpool that are also at the top of the league.

Like every other game we've seen Man City come from behind to draw in the first half, I'm more of the mind that the opponents won't be so lucky to maintain that scoreline and with the way Crystal Palace are playing, it's not going to be easy for them to hold Man City from winning the game. As it stands now, they are level on points with Arsenal if the scoreline ends like this but we all know how Pep rarely settles for less, at least a two points gap will be needed by them.
 Maybe Crystal will recharge and get back stronger in the second half is a big maybe because when you play with a desperate, hungry club like Man City, you'd need to have all your wits about you to avoid mistakes and I like that they aren't leaving their defenses open too much cause that can be terrible for them as right now the visitors are trying to create spaces, making small passes to pry the defense of Palace.
For me, it's the second half that would determine if Crystal Palace did a good job at keeping Pep and his boys at bay or not.

It is a strange season in Premier League and the list of best scorers has many attacking midfielder here.
https://www.premierleague.com/stats

In the top 10, there are three attacking players, Palmer, Foden and Saka. It is good for these attacking players and they are hope of England in Euro 2024 too, though it raises another concern in Premier League that strikers there tend to have problems to show their scoring skill and outperform attacking players. Mo Salah starts to be older and some injuries in this season affect his appearances and goals for Liverpool. Haaland has a much worse performances than the past season. Isak can not perform better from a club in troubles like Newcastle United.

Palmer actually feels happy now by making a big decision to leave Manchester City and find challenge in Chelsea, then succeeded with it, so far.

Kelvin De bruyne has already equalize for Manchester city and the score line is 1-1 already. It's very unreal how crystal palace has been able to get a goal already this early minute of the game. Manchester city defense needs to be so much better than this. City is just attacking without defending.  It's worth noting that crystal palace are also playing a good football with confidence. The game is approaching the end of first half with a draw but from the look of things, there are still more goals to be scored in this match. Placing a live bet for away team to score ov2.5 goals at 2.15 odds won't be a bad decision.
