Basically Arteta resting some players after the tough game with Manchester city last Sunday was necessary because they have more important matches ahead so reserving those players will help them not to have fatigue and would relax a lot to be able to face stronger matches. Pressure causes own goal so it was as a result of pressure that Luton conceded an own goal and that makes it more relief for Arsenal in the second half. Arsenal for sure needs more goals so that in a case of equal points at the top of the league, they gave have an advantage based on goal difference so scoring more goals at this point is very necessary within this period.


You know regardless of the fact that Luton is a weak team, it is not that easy as every one is thinking just that at this point Arsenal needs not to give room for any form of mistakes that is why they are utilizing every opportunity in this game against Luton so we should expect more goals from Arsenal in the second half.

Aston Villa responded to Manchester City's goal which made the score 1-1 and the goal came from Jhon Duran in the 20th minute. And I saw Aston Villa do it in a relaxed manner when they scored a goal against Manchester City, and even though so far Manchester City appeared more aggressive and dominated the game, Aston Villa played very relaxed in counter-attacking.
And Manchester City must be able to win this match because if not they will have difficulty catching Arsenal who are currently at the top of the standings and they are 2-0 up against Luton who are in the bottom position. And I think it will be an easy game for Arsenal.

The progress of the match in the first half so far has been quite good, both of them drew 1-1. Manchester City basically dominated this match, but Aston Villa was really good at taking advantage of their opportunities when building counter attacks. This match was good, that's because we had both teams scoring 1 goal each within 20 minutes.

I don't expect this match to end in a draw for Manchester City, let alone lose. Pep Guardiola didn't play Haaland and De Bruyne in this match in the first half, but I think Manchester City's chances of winning 3 points are too high to be true. Pep Guardiola needs to rotate several players in the second half if his plans in the first half fail.

The first half of the match ended with Arsenal having a 2 goal lead,  Luton is no competitor against Arsenal and I pay less of an interest into their match, since it is rest assured that Arsenal must win with even topping more goals, what is actively interesting to watch is that of Mancity and Aston villa, with Mancity on the lead with yet a goal difference, on my own prediction, it's likely for both teams to have a goal in this match, in which Mancity is already making it happen and we wait for Aston Villa to net the ball against City or conceive another.

^Edited
Just some seconds after my prediction, Aston villa has scored a goal, leading to an equalizer. This isn't the end of the match, I expect Villa to put more effort into the game because City gets more dangerous ones they conceive, gap between their rating to win is wide.

Knowing that Arsenal has come up with an unexpected performance lately is a good one because if it is about their game against Luton Town, the game is actually theirs because, due to pressure, Luton Town doesn’t know when they give them their own goal, which is so horrible to Luton Town because instead of them getting a goal, they end up giving Arsenal a goal, though it is not funny. 

Although from the start I didn’t even think Luton Town wouldn't get a chance in the game, and again, Arsenal are playing a home game, Arsenal will try their best to go back to their previous position in the league. That is why they will not take it easy on Luton Town, although the game is already in halftime, so before the end of the game we will see the winner and how the game will end, but to me, Arsenal are going back to their former position as the first in the table. 

Arteta made many changes to the first team to have some key players rested enough after their tough game against Manchester City and against next week where they play in the champions League. Arsenal have ended the first half with two goals, a second own goal after Odegaard's first goal. Arsenal can really score more goals if players like Nelson who has started not always trying to pass the ball when he should b trying to run down the defenders like Martinelli and Saka would usually do.
Arsenal have to score more in the second half to maintain their good goal advantage over the other teams at the top of the table.

Arsenal did improved well since the last season and they continue to impress big teams like Manchester City but let's not forget that for this season at least gunners are facing mainly Liverpool in addition to Manchester City. Liverpool particularly is doing well and with Klopp retiring from the club, he surely will try to get the title.
Right now, Arsenal are leading with 2 goals to 0 against Luton Town. Manchester City are leading with 1 goal since the first minutes of the game.

Aston Villa's meeting record with Manchester City is not good for Aston Villa, but I don't think they are worth underestimating. Manchester City lost 4 points in their last two matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, so at least this can affect the psychology of the players and their morale too.

Pep Guardiola must win at home to maintain their chances of retaining the title this season, but Arsenal also have a good chance of not giving Manchester City a way to climb to second place today. The match is live, and now Manchester City is 1-0 ahead against Rodri. It was a good opening goal from Rodri although the referee had to review the VAR as Doku appeared to be in an offside position before send his assist to Rodri.

Arsenal are now much more consistent than last season even though at the beginning of the season it seemed to promise to win but at the end of the season they fell because of several defeats at the end of the season it was not in his favor.

But this season there is still a great opportunity for Arsenal to win especially by maintaining their winning streak, last week's match was still fortunate despite the draw because for me it was a pretty good prospect even though the match was dominated by Manchester City.
But I see with the remaining matches at the end of this season Arsenal have to undergo tough matches some of them, I don't think it's considered easy even though Arsenal's statistics are superior to them.

Manchester United was lucky and unlucky at the same time in this match. Because I thought Manchester United first of all did not deserve to win or even get one point from this match. Brentford was really unlucky because twice the ball hit the post and did not go in for them. Manchester United did not do a very good defensive job in this game. But in the end, when Manchester United was able to actually score a goal, I thought they would be able to get three points from this one. But they ended up conceding pretty quickly. And credit to Brentford for actually being able to score at the very end of the match.

Tomorrow I don't think Man United have any chance against Chelsea. If they don't have the ability to win against a team like Brentford how can anyone expect win against Chelsea.

Arsenal match against Luton is already a winning match for Arsenal, checking at the remaining matches of Arsenal, I feel the only teams that may look somehow tough to them is between Manchester united and Wolves matches.

Arsenal match is live now and they are winning Luton already by 1:0 yet goal courtesy of Martin Ødegaard and assisted by Kai Havertz which is very good one for this game and they will still score more goals considering the pressure they are mounting on the Luton side, regardless that Liverpool is topping by 2 points, Arsenal needs to continue winning their matches so that any slight mistake of Liverpool losing a game can give them chance of coming back to the top of the league and have chances of winning the league title.

Last season, Arsenal were close to winning the league but they could not see it to the finish. Arsenal are still a work in progress, they have only been competing for two seasons. They need to be consistent in order to grow into a dominant side like Manchester City. Arsenal are not at Manchester City level but if they can continue in this trajectory, I believe they will win the league title in a few years. They have defeated Manchester City twice this season which is very impressive stats.

Luton Town have been winless in their last nine matches in the Premier League, and I do not see Luton Town as a club that can cause problems for Arsenal at Emirate Stadium. Arsenal will easily beat Luton Town in their Premier League match today, and Arsenal can score a minimum of three goals against Luton Town.

Villa is already in the safe zone and villa needs only to keep the gap to the some clubs below it caused by the club have been doing the best till now. all the club needs to do now is win the rest of its matches consistently caused by it has enough gap to keep UCL trophy for this season. Because this is an old h2h, head-to-head comparisons are irrelevant to be used as consideration to deterimne the result from the upcoming game. Villa will undoubtedly play fully defensively against Manchester City. City may try to do something different in the upcoming game.
Guardiola most likely has a new plan in place as part of his preparations for the city's match against Real Madrid. Aston Villa could be a great place for Pep Guardiola to try out a new strategy. He frequently used Haaland as a lone striker up front.
There must be a small chance to prevent Hlland from becoming clueless in the game, as seen in the match against Arsenal and he got so many criticism that was also giving him more disadvantage. There's no way Pep is leaving him alone. Haaland requires a good partner who can help him score and someone who can also help him to pay attention from the opponent's defenders.
De Bruyne alone was insufficient for this. Playing with 433 is much more appealing to me.

Honestly, those three teams is just like their competitive with each other since none of them don't want to be left behind and both of them want to win the Premier League title. But with all of their aspectation of the Premier League, is only one team that can be able to win the title, but to be sincerely speaking, those three teams are ready to fight each other, and given all of their performances, everyone is trying to put in much effort so that they can dominate the Premier League title.
What did Liverpool give you that you having such a high chance of winning the Premier League title this season, or have you forgotten that Liverpool still has tough opponents to meet with? I believe Liverpool will lose a number of points after meeting those opponents. Saying that Arsenal is scared of what happened to them last season; people's only given out the word because they didn't support Arsenal to win the Premier League season. But with the highlights of Arsenal this season, it shows that they have a big, high chance of winning the title. Since Arsenal didn't have so much pressure to receive their challenges have reduced they only focus to bring out a positive changes this season.

Even though on paper Manchester City is very favored, Aston Villa did not just let Manchester City beat them easily. Obviously this is a very difficult match for Aston Villa, but they will fight tooth and nail to be able to get at least 1 point in this season. Maybe they will implement a defensive strategy, because it is very difficult for them to attack because that will create gaps that Manchester City can exploit.

Manchester City also realize that they cannot afford to lose points, because losing points will take them away from the title race. I'm sure they will attack completely in this match and maybe they won't let Aston Villa linger with the ball for long. I think they will dominate this match by continuing to attack. The reason is that they always play games like that in every match.

I hope Aston Villa put up meaningful resistance which will make the match very interesting, even though on paper they are not favored at all.

At this moment, I don't think Arsenal will try to mess up with any game by underestimating any time. If Arsenal appear strongly and play Luton the way they are playing any other strong team, they will be able to win this game with many goals, but let's see what happens. Arteta may try to rest some of its key players like Martinelli and not use sake because of his minor injury, but even without Saka and Martinelli, I don't think Arsenal still should find Luton so difficult to win. Luton have not really been in good form, and with their current form, I don't think Luton should able draw arsenal.


Folden is really in good form and serious; he has been trying for Manchester City. Even in the absence of De Bruyne, Folden has always been there to help Manchester City seriously. In many matches that he plays, you will always know his on the pitch because it will always display his talents. As for Haaland, right from the beginning, I don't think Manchester City fully depends on him. Whenever his absence in the squad, Manchester City also always plays well, and other players always score. But what I notice about Haaland this season is that they are not feeding him with enough ball, but still Haaland is trying.

Chelsea president is saying he has to stay on course, but he did made some big moves with a rush the moment he got in, and that's a wrong move. If I had enough money to buy a team like Chelsea, I wouldn't really do anything like this, I would simply let the team run it's course first, like see what they need, instead of rushing to get big name players and pay a lot of money.

I get it, they could pay 80 million on a player, sign 8 year contract, and only have 10 million per year on their paper, so next season when they sell him for 50, they look in profit and could spend even more. That's a "strategy", but a wrong one. I think they should just let the team be right now, and look what parts of it looking like it's not doing well.

Villa will be fighting for a Champions League spot and I think it'll be a good match... The head-to-head stats are a good indicator... The last time Villa beat City away was in 2012 in the League Cup and in 2007 in the EPL... What's most funny is that the last time Villa drew in Manchester was 30 years ago... All that said, Villa have little chance today, but I think it will still be a nice match...

While we are all expecting an easy win for Arsenal especially that they play from the Emirates stadium, you will be shocked that this game could produce some unexpected result  especially that Luton is now desperate to find a way out of the relegation zone..but looking at how the bookies have prices an Arsenal win today tells me there is no chance they won't deliver the win especially that they want to keep the title chase going  

True that, and btw Halaad hasn't been the same after that injury he picked up that could have disturbed his momentum and probably needs more time to get back at his best...and at the moment you can't talk about Manchester City without mentioning Foden this season as his the teams inform player ATM !! But let's see how they perform in the next fixture of game's
