Brentford, who couldn't score even one goal against Brighton at home 3 days ago, now scored 3 goals away against Aston Villa. The Premier League is such a strange place. Neither result should surprise us.
The return of Ollie Watkins has undoubtedly put Emery's hands at ease. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to convert the match. Watkins, who scored 2 goals against his former team, is also competing with Haaland as the top goalscorer.

Wolves and Hammers already made you some bucks I presume so the only thing remaining is the other match to complete your victory lap. Newcastle almost did their job in the 77th minute but VAR making sure you're not going to win hehe. They are not to be denied though as Bruno Guimarães scored. It's up to Fulham now.

Manchester City managed to secure their current position, even though they were behind in the 3rd minute, but Manchester City was able to respond quickly to rise in today's match, the 3 points obtained by Guardiola's troops today made Manchester City able to climb to the top of the standings before Arsenal and Liverpool play their matches today and tomorrow,  Although dominating the game from the beginning of the game, Manchester City actually also had difficulties in the game, especially after Crystal Palace scored a quick goal in the game.

I thought today would be a nightmare for Manchester City but fortunately they had De Bruyne who could indeed perform very well today, De Bruyne's counter-goal was the start of Manchester City's comeback in the game after they fell behind first, this victory certainly means a lot to Manchester City, not only because they are competing on the championship path,  But today's victory also signifies how mentally strong they are in the match even though they are currently burdened with a tight schedule after two days earlier they played against Aston Villa.

 It seems Aston Villa have not recovered from the 4-1 mauling they got from Man City because it's quite funny how a team who had a goal lead in the first half and made it two in the second could be losing by three goals in the space of 8 mins? The first half was quite boring with both sides defending their lines but right now, Aston villa are playing under serious pressure as their perch in 4th placed would be threatened by Tottenham Hotspur if they win their game on Sunday to Nottingham.
 Brentford would have to keep this win if they hope to escape from the drop zone; right now they can breathe a temporary sigh of relief as they sit 14th place on the log, one point above Crystal Palace who are 15th with 30 points.

Manchester City have been absolutely amazing with their performance in the league for the past four days in the English Premier League. After Phil Foden put out a scintillating performance against Aston Villa on Wednesday night which saw him score his first hat trick as a Manchester City player, the club manager Pep Guardiola decided to rest Phil Foden from playing today at Crystal Palace but that didn't stop Manchester City from convincingly winning the game.
Crystal Palace started the game on front foot after scoring in the first 10 minutes of the game to give themselves an early lead but Kelvin De Bruyne's 13th minute goal ensured that the first half finished on a draw. City scored three second half goals to take full control of the game before their hosts added their second and last goal of the game in the dying minutes. With the win, Manchester City are now top of the English Premier League table and will remain their if Arsenal and Liverpool fails to win their games of the weekend

 Manchester United is definitely like the underdog in the tomorrow game against Liverpool, their performance has been nothing to write home about, the players are playing like they have nothing to lose after all they will get paid at the end of the week. They had proved how disorganize the structure of the team is, they find it difficult to even defend thier lead in two consecutive games. No top elite team will want to fumble like that given away points carelessly. I used to tell my fellow man United fan that our glory days are over and we are just an average team struggling to maintain its name. For the club to function at his top flight again we need a total reform in the club, from its management down to its players. Ac Milan had the same issues some time ago, after several years of not coming to the champion league and finishing 10th position they still came out from thier struggle and are now champion of Italy in this present time.
   Man united are looking for other options of the position of the manager, Teg’s style of play is not suiting the team, he can use lazy players to play such intensive pattern of football. He even had to change is own style of play from playing the diamond midfield play to the counter attack United team are fond of,  just to suite the the play of the team, the non-chalant  attitude of some of the players is really costing the team a lot making the effort of the few good players there useless, these cabal and favoritism will destroy the good hold of the team. Fans no longer recognize their boyhood club anymore, the softness as eaten us to the depth of our heart, I miss the days of Roy Keane where every game seem like a battlefield to team. Please bring back those days to us !!!

Quite correct. actually they all might not continue with the successive wins especially bearing in mind that they have though teams to face who are still fighting  for  positions up the table. It wouldn't be easy, but in the end one team will lift the trophy. One thing that gives me joy is that the various teams have their best players in good condition, their injury streaks are over and they're all having a full squad, this then validates what you said above about the technicalities of their managers being tested in the games ahead.

One thing is certain, the manager with the best techniques will lead his boys to lift the trophy.

Yes, in this match Manchester City played very well and very calmly. So from this match we can see that the quality of the Manchester City players is very good. Because as you said, even though in the early minutes of the match Manchester City conceded first, the Manchester players remained calm and were able to control the course of the match very well until the match was over.

Apart from that, in this match De Bruyne performed very well by scoring 2 goals and creating 1 assist. Halland also played very well, being able to score 1 goal against Crystal Palace. And with this victory, Manchester City is now in second place in the Premier League standings with 70 points.

Then in the match between Aston Villa and Brentford, in the first half Aston Villa managed to take the lead through a single goal scored by Watkins in the 39th minute. Maybe in the second half, Aston Villa will continue to attack Brentford's defense. The reason is that in the first half the Aston Villa players managed to dominate the match. Likewise in the second half, I am sure Aston Villa will add additional goals and it is very likely that Aston Villa will definitely win this match.

It will be quite an interesting match even though we must be referring to Mancehster United's previous defeat to Chelsea but IMO it could be a draw against Liverpool even though such a thing is definitely not expected by Liverpool but this possibility will still exist just like what happened in the first meeting where Liverpool could not create a single goal at Anfield.

Indeed for now even though the match will be held at Old Trafford but surely Liverpool will be the favorites in this match so that indeed their chances are definitely greater, its just that Manchester United have also on several occasions played very well even though last week they had to lose a match that was actually very profitable but indeed Manchester United always give a quite different color at this time, especially for their midfield which is filled with young players so this can still be a troublesome thing for Liverpool .

This week it was clear that Manchester City would get three points. There's no point in playing against the tide. In the fight for the championship, these teams no longer have the luxury of making mistakes. With De Bruyne and Haaland, City can score as many goals as they need. It doesn't matter that they went behind in the match. Pep played the right game again. If you score against them in the first minutes you have to be very careful because you don't want to upset them. Palace paid for their early goal by conceding 4 goals in return.

You are right all the three clubs cannot just keep winning their matches, at least one of them will either lose or draw, and that will make them drop points. Liverpool have a big challenge on facing Tottenham, and Manchester united. This is because these two clubs are strong, and will target to win Liverpool or draw the game.

Manchester city is now on top of the league, but they have played more matches than the rest. Arsenal will be playing their later in the day, and we will see what the result will look like. Liverpool might drop point tomorrow against united match, because it will be a difficult match for them, as Manchester united will be very ready for that match.

So far in the first half Fulham vs Newcastle the score is 0-0... To be honest, I bet on both teams to score here and Wolves vs Hammers... I hope that the second half will be more interesting than the first... The first match of Crystal Palace vs Man City was rich in goals... I want to see it in other games...

Arsenal won't lose if that is what you are expecting at this point even with Saka on injury we are going to win against Brighton, because we know what is at stake so we can not afford to lose any game now, all games are tough this period but I trust my club, Manchester City have already flipped us and if we can win Brighton then we go back to our second position and either home or away we are going to win. the trophy is not yet certain for anyone because at this point, the top 3 have not given up judging from the way, Manchester City played Crystal Palace, when they started the game Crystal Palace was on track but I know they can win Manchester City.

those guys are good and are always difficult to win, especially if your club is not in form, since there is still a chance for us to win the trophy, but the problem is the top 3 can not afford to lose any game or it is finished.

You're right about performance. Liverpool is more promising this season in the Premier League than Manchester United. Manchester United from the performance that we can see, they are not in a consistent condition in terms of play. Our defeat in the last meeting against them was as if they had won the league or a competition.
Like yesterday when they lost against Chelsea, we think that tomorrow's meeting at Old Trafford can get a positive result to maintain their position in the standings because Manchester City have secured full points earlier against Crystal Palace.

Manchester United and Liverpool has this their rivalry and this comes into play whenever the both sides meet. That was exactly what played out in the first meeting at Anfield when they played a draw. We saw it again in the fa cup where Manchester United snatched a win from Liverpool and stopped any dream of quadruple from the Liverpool fans. This is not just about this match, it about the bragging right. Manchester United and Liverpool are the most decorated English teams in terms of trophies, so Manchester United is going to pose a big threat to Liverpool. If Liverpool are to drop points, then this Manchester United match is a good place to drop points.

Manchester City have ensured themselves to get 3 points in their 31st week with a fairly striking score despite some surprises especially when Palace managed to get a quick goal in the first 3 minutes but indeed Manchester City are too good to face Palace in this match which makes them not feel the hassles despite the pressure which is quite surprising in the first 10 minutes of the first half.

For other matches, Arsenal in this match still have a chance for 3 points as well, especially by looking at the conditions of Brighton, which at the moment they do not seem like a troublesome club unlike what they did in previous seasons, making the chance for Arsenal is still quite large but on the other hand Arsenal must still be wary of De Zerbi's boys this time because it could be troublesome for them if they underestimate this match even though they are definitely favorites to win.

The fact remains that one or few of them will still lose match. It is not possible that they will all keep winning all their matches. Don't be surprised to see them playing draw with small unexpected teams. It will take luck for Liverpool to escape draw with Tottenham and Manchester United, those are where I am expecting them to draw. Tottenham will also be a tough side for both Arsenal and Man City. This is the time that the technical skill of the various coaches will be tested.

They play one more match than Liverpool but this winning will give some pressure on Liverpool before their match and the same pressure on Arsenal too. Clubs play after competitors will have pressure if their competitors win first.

Problems with Manchester City in this season is their dependence on some players like De Bruyne, Foden for creativeness. It is very big different than the last season when they still have Mahrez, Gundogan and Grealish played better than this season.

With this goal, Haaland has too preparation for quarter final match with Real Madrid but he usually does not play well in big matches. Haaland has good finishing skills and he is strong but he is still not good to side track defenders and open space for himself to get better opportunities. He needs to improve it if don't want to be controlled by defenders when they understand more about Haaland style.

It seems like they are too quickly satisfied with what they get, even though in the game of football every second is very important and every second or minute can be very dangerous if they are not careful.
Apart from that, their concentration is not formed well, they quickly decline in concentration every time the match enters the final minutes. This is something they have to evaluate, because if they don't fix this then they will continue to feel the same thing. It is very disappointing to see the victory that was before your eyes just disappear because of something that should have been anticipated.

The match ended with a score of 2-4 in favor of Manchester City. Even though they fell behind in the 3rd minute, Manchester City were able to equalize 10 minutes later, the score remained at 1-1 until the end of the first half.
IN the second half, Manchester City took the initiative to attack quickly and it didn't take long for them to take the lead, because after only 2 minutes of running time they were able to immediately score a goal. Manchester City continued to attack Crystal Palace's defense and as a result they were able to score 2 additional goals. Crystal Palace tried to respond, but they could only score 1 goal and that was not enough for them to at least hold Manchester City to a draw.

In terms of performance, Liverpool does look more promising than Man United. Moreover, everyone knows that Man United plays very inconsistently, even in their last 2 matches, Man United failed to win. Man United is not in good condition, while Liverpool is in their best condition. However, with the conditions of the two teams like that, I still feel that Man United still has a chance to steal points from Liverpool. If Man United could play with a nothing to lose spirit, I think Man United will be a formidable opponent for Liverpool. There is nothing impossible in football. Man United even managed to get rid of Liverpool in the FA Cup.
