In this situation, only Arsenal haven't proven to have winning streak in the ending phase of the season. Manchester City and Liverpool have done it. Manchester United having potential to challenge these top teams shouldn't be overstated solely based on their inconsistent form, because big club have mentality to give a tough game even though there are in a bad situation. Beside Manchester United, There will still be Tottenham and Aston Villa who can give a tough game for them. These two teams still have their own ambitions to finish at higher position for European competition spots.

Arsenal have to play against two of their biggest rivals, Manchester United and Tottenham. There will be emotional sense when they play against their historical rivals that can make the game feel tougher than play against another teams. Past results can provide insight, but they don't guarantee future outcomes. Manchester United has the quality and mentality to give a tough game, and Tottenham is provenly a very good team that had beaten the three teams in the past games. Upsets and surprises will always possible to happen in football, and it's still hard to predict who's gonna win the league.

I agree with this and the draw that Arsenal got against Man City provides a much bigger opportunity for them. Although in terms of points, this draw is quite profitable for Liverpool because they can smile a little more at being in first place in the standings now. Arsenal has a big chance to emerge as champions this season, but Arteta must see how the current points cannot be far behind Liverpool.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City still have a good chance of competing for the title, but now Liverpool is much more profitable and has a much bigger chance. Now we just need to look at the next few matches and if the three of them can play consistently then the standings will not change, so the title will be determined after one of them gets a disappointing result.

Even though the match was quite boring when not a single goal was scored, it was also worth appreciating the two teams who didn't want to give up on each other in a big match. Both Manchester City and Arsenal have done their best to maintain their consistency and although in the end both teams shared one point but that is better than not getting a single point.

It is clear how both teams also guard each other's goals so as not to concede and here Arsenal can always thwart Manchester City's opportunities with their strong defense. Overall, Manchester City controlled the game but they were unable to create gaps in Arsenal's defense. One thing is certain, with this draw, Liverpool will benefit greatly because they are still at the top of the standings with 67 points and they will still be at the top of the standings if they still win in the next match.

I hoped that City could beat Arsenal, they were much closer to win than Arsenal. I didn’t expect such a game from Arteta, I hoped that the match would be productive, but he chose to defend. City often have to play with teams, that play the entire match on the defensive, they are not used to this, and the fact that they cannot score a goal for the second match in a row is also unexpected. A team that wants to become a champion must be able to play against any opponents, both attacking and defending.

An interesting bet, and I would say very bold given the fact that Arsenal did not allow City to score a single goal. In general, I am surprised that Luton consistently scores goals against Arsenal, in my opinion, with Arsenal’s love for ball control, this should not happen.
Hmmmm... Although, you know, I just checked the history of meetings and it turns out that their last game between themselves was in January 2023, and the previous one in 1991 
Are you sure that statistics from the previous century have something to do with modern realities?

That was the reason why I said LFC_Bitcoin was right for saying that one among the top 3 teams would lose at least one of their remaining matches so Manchester United may give either of them a tough play but don't forget that Arsenal won Manchester united in their first meetings so it wouldn't be a surprise if they still win them again in this returning leg due to Manchester United's inconsistent form but however, anything is possible as the league is gradually coming to an end so we will be seeing lots of drama from now on.

Wolves is also another average club in England that can surprise big teams, let's us not forget that they beat Manchester city by 2:1 in their first meeting on 30th September 2023. So you can agree with me that Manchester united is not the only treat in their remaining matches

Liverpool don’t have option than to win that match because they knew that the match between Arsenal and City will not be an easy one as the result might end up in a draw. A win has favored them as they are now two points clear ahead of Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp is happy with the outcome because his ambition is to win his last Premier League title with Liverpool in his last season as the head coach since he has announce his retirement as Liverpool manager after this season.

The yesterday’s match was a classic and clinical match between two teams that are all aiming to win the League this season. Arteta said that their tactics worked because it will not be easy to win in or take a point at Etihad, and his team (Arsenal) will do their best to win all their remaining eight matches to see if they can have the advantage of Liverpool probably drop points along the way.

Liverpool showed a great game play yesterday as they came back from disadvantage to win the game against Brighton.I know that this season Brighton has been one of the most inconsistent teams not only in Premier League but also in the European competition that they played yet Liverpool showed character and determination to get the win which they definitely got in the end of the day.

The draw between Manchester City and Arsenal further suited Liverpool to be leading the league alone now and to have everything in their power so they can be Champions of the Premier League once again now,there are only 7-8 games to be played and I am sure Liverpool can handle this.

Aston Villa's victory over Wolves made them able to be back in the top 4 of the Premier League standings at this time, after previously they had dropped one level when Tottenham won over Luton on the same day, I think so far Aston Villa's performance is still very far from their previous performance when they could so spectacularly beat a strong team in the league,  The only chance for Aston Villa at the moment is to keep the last ticket in the Champions League because to catch Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool is obviously very difficult for them at the moment, besides that I think Aston Villa should also no longer be able to drop points in their remaining matches because Tottenham are very close to Aston Villa, especially Tottenham have one postponed game that has not been played.

Yes Diaby's performance against wolves was quite good and very worthy of him being man of the match of the match in that the match, but to say he is the most successful purchase of course you are a little mistaken, because in my opinion, as a striker of course he has not been able to meet the expectations that match his price when he was bought from Leverkusen for 50 million pounds,  Maybe it's quite natural that he hasn't shown his best ability because this season is his first season in the Premier League and of course he still has plenty of time to become Aston Villa's mainstay player later.

In yesterday's match against Arsenal, Manchester City players proved they were able to match the defensive capabilities and performance of the Arsenal squad.
In my opinion, in yesterday's match Manchester City did not perform as bad as previously thought and it turns out that the Arsenal team in this match did not perform optimally or they were surprised because Manchester City is not a team that can be underestimated.

The reason is that Manchester City and Arsenal are both very strong in maintaining their defense in every match and of course these two teams are currently developing new strategies and training with discipline and hard work so they can meet against the top club, namely Liverpool.
Yes, previously Liverpool players and coach Jurgen Klopp were worried when Brighton and Hove Albion took the lead in the 2nd minute through Danny Welbeck's goal, but at the end of the match Jurgen Klopp felt relieved because these worries had not shifted Liverpool's position. .

You forgot to include the spurs game under Manchester city remaining games, although no date or time yet but it is still an outstanding match.

In as much as i hate to see you REDS triumph on this, you guy seems to have the advantage, the only two matches that i think will be a bit tricky to win for REDS are the games against Manchester united and Aston Villa and its because they are both away from Anfield and both clubs are in dare need of the points. the game against Spurs isn't tricky to me because its at that hell of place called Anfield. nonetheless i hope you reds drop points and possibly bottle the league  

as for Arsenal who i will prefer been the champions i think the fixtures carries too much weight on them at this crucial time. Imagine them away to united and spurs who will both be fighting for the champions league spot. It will be a hard fight for them to come out with maximum points from this games

I will agree with you that the top 3 clubs don't have tough club to play in the rest of their match. But don't you think that you are underestimating Manchester united. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are to play Manchester united, which can be a problem to one of them. This is because Manchester united is unpredictable, they can play very bad today and play as if they are the strongest tomorrow.

However, that should not be a threat to any of the two teams, because they should know how to geyt rid of United out of their way, so that Manchester united don't become an hindrance to them. It is quite a tough time now for all these three clubs, as one of them must be the winn of EPL this season, but which club.

I can’t really predict who will be winning the match, because the two club’s performance have not really been good this season, we all saw how the both teams played draw, and lose to clubs that they were not suppose to lose to, I can’t be confident about the club that will be winning the match, and am not expecting anything special from the both of them. Chelsea is a club that’s unpredictable, they do perform well in matches that you will never expect them to play well, and they do lose in matches you will never expect.

We all saw how Chelsea played poo against Burnley in their last match, and we all so how Manchester United played well against Liverpool in FA cup, but we saw how their performance dropped in their match against Brentford, am not really expecting anything special in the match, and I don’t even think the match is going to be an interesting one.

Their strength levels are starting to look the same at this time so that both teams will try to win in another match when facing a team whose strength is not quite equal to theirs. Because the top three teams in the Premier League currently cannot lose in any important matches in order to continue to maintain their points gap and position until the end of the season. Because one of the three current candidates suffers just one defeat, of course there will be a quicker change in position and this will be very detrimental to the losing team.

The remaining matches for the three top teams isn't that difficult looking at the fixtures but however, just like you said there is no way either of them wouldn't lose at least a match and now that Liverpool is topping with two points have giving them another advantage to protect this lead, though Arsenal and Manchester city also seems to be dangerous looking at their game yesterday, the both teams played perfectly well hence they settled for a draw.
The top 3 teams were really entertaining yesterday as Liverpool also came from a goal down to equalize and win Brighton at Anfield.

Aston Villa is still comfortably sitting in 4th position in the standings after successfully beating Wolves at home with a score of 2-0. They are very strong and don't want to lose any points amidst the increasingly heated competition at the end of the season. Moreover, knowing that Spurs had just won against Luton, made Aston Villa even more enthusiastic about widening the points gap again.

In last night's match there was one player who was their most successful transfer last summer, namely Moussa Diaby and in this match he recorded one goal and one assist for Aston Villa's victory. I think Unai Emery is very happy with his player's performance and hopes to get more good results towards the end of the season. On the other hand, it is certainly not easy because they experienced failure in the previous two matches and so far they should have been closer to Manchester City.

Arsenal is doing quite well but if we are to make comparison with last season, I wouldn't say they are doing much better than they did last season actually because last season they also got to a point where they were aswell this close to the trophy and almost everyone had taught they would win the league already but then Manchester city came around and took it away from them after they suffered some set backs.

In yesterday's game, both teams actually did played so well so we can't say one was much better than the other, I saw a more of defensive kind of game than the offensive in yesterday's game fr the two sides and that wasn't really impressive of both teams because more to that I expected actions, I expected they would be able to really try to get  a win against each other and I was expecting to see that fighting and winning spirit in bother teams tho Arsenal showed a little of it but then they didn't make it really obviously because at a point they really tried to be very careful not to loose the game.

If Arsenal had been able to convert few of the chance they had, I think they would have been able to probably get a win or given Manchester city a reason to have played better than they actually did in their performance yesterday but then both teams were actually careful not to lose because it will be very detrimental to both teams but the draw was to Arsenal's advantage more.

Even though I'm just guessing, I predict Arsenal will have an easier time against the teams they will face, even though that's not true regarding the results of each of the remaining matches.
If you take into account the quality of the three teams, the chances of who will win the Premier League title are still large and it is difficult to say which of the three teams they are.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City still have a chance to do it and we still can't say that one of them will be firmly at the top. For fans of one of the three teams to say that their favorite team has a bigger chance, I don't think it's wrong.

Manchester City is the most easiest, Liverpool is moderate, while Arsenal is the hardest.

Manchester City didn't met any strong team, it's only Aston Villa, but they will play in their home.

Liverpool would met Manchester United, Spurs and Aston Villa, but since the match against Spurs will held in Liverpool's home, they should able to win.

Arsenal is similar to Liverpool, the difference is the match against Spurs will be held in Spurs's home.

Mikel Arteta hopes that Gabriel Jesus experience and flying hours can help Arsenal achieve victory when faced with tough opponents. The manager also understands well the pressure put on him by Manchester City, so he also played Jerginho from the early minutes. This could mean that Mikel Arteta doesn't want to take big risks, and was lucky they avoided defeat at the Etihad yesterday. If last season Arsenal lacked rotation options in midfield, this season they lack experienced strikers in the front line. However, with the current strategy implemented by Mikel Arteta, Arsenal is still able to appear solid and threatening with players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

Gabriel Jesus has not appeared impressive this season, he was also injured some time ago, and Mikel Arteta was forced to rely more often on Kai Havertz in the front lines. Holding Manchester City to a draw at the Etihad is no easy task, and Arsenal were able to do it yesterday. So there is a possibility that when facing Bayern Munich, which is experiencing a decline in performance, Arsenal can beat the Bundesliga representatives. Slowly Arsenal have developed to become quite tough and consistent, which I think they have now become resistant to pressure.
