The match of Manchester City vs Arsenal sounds like a deciding game of the season, because both are challenging for the title. But in reality, The match only affects the points gap between themself and Liverpool. The title race will still continue even if one wins the game, because the points gap is still close enough. Manchester City and Arsenal understand the importance of winning in their match today, because a draw would provide Liverpool with some relief.

The desire to stay in contention for the title makes the three teams have to win all their remaining matches. Every point gained or dropped could have a profound impact on the final standings. Each team have to accept that a slip-up today could potentially cost their title ambitions. The season is approaching its climax, the pressure only intensifies and heightens the drama and excitement surrounding every fixture.

Playing at Anfield only 2 minutes into the match, Liverpool conceded and Brighton is leading at the moment, it seems that Brighton is quite good in this match, it seems like they are continuing to try to press and play optimally as a guest, but we also know that Liverpool are hard to beat at Anfield, so at the start of this match is a surprise that all Liverpool fans don't want, I think Liverpool will Comeback or draw if they don't recover until the end of the match.

Obviously it will be detrimental for them if they lose points in this match because it will give Manchester City and Arsenal the opportunity to maintain their points gap with Liverpool, but this is what we have to understand that Anfield is a difficult place to beat Liverpool, hopefully they will succeed in coming back and getting three full points and Klopp is of course aware of the small mistakes made by his team too, Liverpool must succeed in playing pressing even though it seems that Brighton has made things difficult for Liverpool since the match started. it's still the first half and I'm betting on Liverpool to win today

Everyone thought that Liverpool would be an easy opponent compared to Manchester City, but the match had only been going on for 3 minutes Liverpool's goal had already been conceded. On the other hand, Liverpool need 3 points in this match and they must be able to get them, they need to pursue all of that and I hope they can turn things around in this match.

In today matches there are several quite interesting matches, including Liverpool vs Brighton, where Brighton is currently leading 0-1. And also the Manchester City vs Arsenal match which will start in 2 hours. So in this match, if Liverpool fail to get 3 points then their chance to return to the top of the standings will be delayed and this is where we see fierce competition between the three teams at the top of the standings.

Manchester City and Arsenal must be able to win if they want to be at the top today, because if the result of their match is a draw, it will make Liverpool a little relieved. Because Liverpool will definitely try to win in today's match in order to continue to be in a position to compete for the title this season, because a draw or loss is a result that will leave Liverpool behind and that is clearly not the result they want at this time. So the top three teams today will both try to win in order to get full points and remain in contention for the title.

Everyone is talking about the City Arsenal match, and almost no one is discussing the Liverpool vs Brighton match. And although I am still skeptical about De Zerbi, because he is a very young coach, this does not mean that he cannot take points away from Liverpool. Yes, I know that this looks very doubtful, but you must agree that it is possible.

So far, I have a feeling that City will top the league table after this round, I know that this is impossible without City winning and without Liverpool loosing points in the match with Brighton, but anything can happen. I know that Brighton often lose away, but apparently I really want Guardiola to get the maximum possible result in this round.

Brentford having 31 attempts at scoring a goal shows how hard they attempted. Although only a few shots found it’s target, it shows how Brentford struggled to get a goal despite against a team that is much stronger and having better players.
I believe Manchester United felt they’ve had the win in the bag and likely relaxed their defenses a bit. They sure didn’t expect Branford to score an equalizer and holding Man United to a draw.

And since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Erik Ten Hag has got to be the best man fit for the job for the long. When you look at these players and the squad, they're mostly from Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and then Ole Gunner Solskjaer. As much as they still have these players within the squad they can't achieve nothing. Go back and see the way Pep Guardiola did it with Manchester City when he came in newly. Kevin De Bruyne is the only player left remaining from the squad he came to meet.

This are bad times and they will not last, backing the manager is key. He is not the problem. When you watch how he reads the game last season, you'd see that he did well and also with every of his decision making.
But these players aren't good enough and the rebuild as said by Ralf Ragnick has got to reach all these players even Marcus Rashford.

Poor game yesterday, glad to see coming in to score his first goal for Manchester United anyways. Brentford deserved that win!

Man United was lucky enough to get that draw. Even though they scored first, but from a game perspective, Brentford had a better performance than Man United. Brentford had many opportunities that they could not exploit optimally. Apart from their poor finishing touch, the Man United goalkeeper played quite impressively in that match.

Man United really played badly. There wasn't good teamwork and their defense line really had a lot of holes that Brentford could easily get through. If they continue to play like that, West Ham might shift their position.

I thought it would be a dramatic win for Manchester United but what we saw was a false victory after Brentford managed to equalize to make it a draw 3 minutes later. I understand that everything is unpredictable, especially since all the goals occurred in the minutes of injury time, imagine two goals were scored in that minute and I wonder what the two teams did during the previous 90 minutes?

Manchester United should have been favorites to win and they could have forced Brentford to give up at home but things didn't work out enough and they had to keep trying until the last minute. Apart from that, the goal scored by Mason Mount was his first goal this season with the Red Devils and after a very long wait he was finally able to do it. The victory disappeared and Manchester United failed to shorten the point difference from Spurs. I think Erik ten Hag was not very precise in giving his strategy in this match and he has to improve it in the next match.

This is really a difficult call for me because both are fighting for the top position and will be ready to give anything to collect the three points. I am not certain who will win but what I expect is that they will both be desperate to score because you can only win by scoring. Therefore, instead of looking for who to win, it will be safer to go with the goal option which I am guessing will be many goals in the match.

Liverpool will be the beneficiary of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal should both fail to collect the three points. To do that, they have to also collect their three points which I consider will not come without heavy resistance from Brighton. To enjoy better odd from the match, playing multi goals will be a great option that I am more comfortable with than direct win whose odd will be too small.

Chelsea has not shown any seriousness that they are ready to make an improvement this season, imagine how they were struggling to score, actually the truth is that Chelsea is no longer the club we use to no because they are losing form every moment and also watching how they were playing on there match against Burnley I noticed that they don't have a good finisher, though if they had told me that Chelsea is not going to win Burnley I would not have believed because they had several scoring opportunities but could not utilize it well.

And one of the things that surprises me the most was that even with the red card Burnley has Chelsea could not still utilize the opportunity but instead Burnley was still giving them a lot of pressure while they were still playing with short one, though with how consistent Burnley is on that match if Chelsea was actually the one that has the red card Burnley would have won them, however it was actually unfortunate for Chelsea because if they had won the match they would have move from the 11 position they are to the 9 position but because of there inconsistency they lost the opportunity.

Regarding this match and the performance of both teams, I don't think if anyone linked the way how Manchester United was playing because a team at the top of the Premier League I was expecting to see a much better performance from Manchester United in this match against Brentford from Ten Hagnad his players.
But the interesting thing is I was watching the match and turned off the TV a few minutes before the end of this match, then I saw two goals during the short time when I was not watching the game, It seems Manchester United scored the goals and just 2-3 minutes after they Brentford scored another goal to make the game ends with a draw.

Yes, Burnley played very well in this match, I didn't even think that even though Burnley played with 10 players since the first half, Burnley didn't give up in providing good attacks on Chelsea maybe if Burnley didn't lose player in this game, Burnley could have beaten Chelsea because if you look at it Burnley's performance was very good against a top club like Chelsea, especially since this was Burnley's away match, they didn't just give up even though their position was threatened at the bottom of the standings which made them feel pressure because they had to face Chelsea at their home ground, but at least 1 point is a good result considering Burnley is a club that is currently in the relegation zone.



It turns out that betting on Chelsea is quite annoying. I know Chelsea's performance is not very stable, but I think Chelsea can win this match easily knowing that the opponent is not too tough for Chelsea, especially since Chelsea has the advantage of playing at home and Burnley as the home team. But it turns out that Burnley is able to make things difficult Chelsea with the goals they scored, being able to score 2 goals with only 10 players playing was lucky for Burnley, but for Chelsea they really disappointed me in this match. I think I no longer bet on clubs that are not as consistent as Chelsea.

Many of the top teams yesterday played draw in their matches and Chelsea and Manchester United were the biggest teams I thought flopped woefully. I mean, they should have had an easy win, after returning from international break and red hot on new power and strength.
Am hoping Arsenal don't get to play draw against Manchester city tonight instead they win with as much goal difference. I don't really care if Liverpool wins or draw or loss their match.

City v Arsenal at the Etihad in the title run-in, it really doesn't come bigger than that, City has an unbelievable record against Arsenal at the Etihad and generally Pep's men are very strong at home, but Arsenal fans will believe that today is the perfect day to go on and beat City in their own ground. What a game we are going to witness, so difficult to call, but i'd go for a City win, and that is because they are used to title run-ins, they know what it takes to win games when it matters the most and they'd do that again today.

Liverpool will be watching that game with interest, but that would be after they have finished with their own business, they play Brighton two hours before City's game starts, and Klopp knows how important a win would be, to put pressure on the teams that play later. It is gonna be a Sunday to enjoy football.

Honestly, I did not expected much performance was Manchester united that yesterday against Brentford do to it was Brentford home game and whenever it their home game it is hardly for teams that not that in good form just  beat them, especially this time around that they are fighting to move away from relegation zone, I know Brentford tactics of playing, it will be hard for Manchester united to defeat them because they really good in playing defensively and with counterattack and that was what Brentford was doing yesterday, assumed they have very sharp strike seriously Brentford should have scored as many as possible.but let just say that lucky was not much on Brentford side that yesterday.

As I predicted, Manchester United would have difficulty against Brentford, the first half created a boring moment where the game was very monotonous. Luckily, Mason Mount was able to equalize, but still with this result there are no positive points for Manchester United to improve their position in the standings. There is no potential to take Tottenham position, which seems more likely to want to defend their place in the Europa League. Overall, Brentford dominated in terms of attacks in the second half and also a total of 31 shots by Brentford players had a lot of opportunities. If Onana was not on fire, perhaps Brentford could have scored more than 1 goal.

On the other hand, the Blues also appeared disappointing because the main squad was in optimal condition with no injuries, playing at home but couldn't take advantage of the opportunity when their opponent got a red card, the coach also got a red card and still couldn't change the conditions of the game, meaning something was wrong with Chelsea tactics. Mudryk in this match wasn't too bad, especially when Gusto who was facing the opponent goal, was in Mudryk ideal position to receive a pass, but he didn't do it and instead shot. I think it is very sad for Chelsea this season, in the standings they are not moving much, Burnley is a relegated club where Chelsea should be able to excel in all aspects on the pitch. A lot has been wasted, Chelsea fans please just be patient because their team this season has been very annoying.

Manchester United drew the match. But in today's next two matches Liverpool have got a great opportunity because their opposition team is very weak so they can win the match but Manchester city will play Arsenal in this match Manchester city is under a lot of pressure and this match is very important for them. so Man city will have to give a lot of effort in this match. If they don't win this match they will be very far behind and Liverpool will have a great opportunity to do well

Brentford 1 - 1 Manchester United

This was a game in which Brentford had many reasons to be disappointed with themselves, because in my opinion the Brentford players wasted many good opportunities to score goals, the Brentford attackers were unable to score goals, and in football when a team is for a long time putting pressure on the other team and they don't score a goal, that team wears itself out a lot and the other team takes advantage of that and scores a goal, that's what happened in that game, brentford wasted an opportunity while manchester united knew how to take advantage of the opportunity and scored a goal. but unfortunately manchester united's defense was unable to hold on to the advantage and conceded a goal when they could have won this game. I wonder:

How long will the Manchester United management continue to believe that things will change with the current coach and squad?

Aston Villa 2 - 0 Wolves

This season was very good for Aston Villa, they started the season very well, beating big teams and occupying bigger places in the table and when we look at Aston Villa's market value and compare the market value of Manchester United for example, we see that Aston Villa has a market value of €646.20 million while Manchester United has a market value of €734.25 million and it seems to me that Manchester United have more money to sign good players, but even so, you could see that Aston Villa is doing much better in the Premier League than Manchester United. This shows that having a good coach is very important. I hope Aston Villa gets a place in the Champions League

Chelsea 2 - 2 Burnley

I confess that I spent at least 30 minutes thinking about whether I would bet on Chelsea or not, in my head I thought: Burnley is an opponent that could cause surprise, but they are in the relegation zone and have done very badly when they play against big teams for example (I'm not following the order of who played at home or away):

Manchester city 3  - 1 Burnley
Liverpool 3 - 1 Burnley
[Arsenal 5 - 0 Burnley

In the games where Burley played against big teams, they suffered 3 goals or more, so I thought if Chelsea were starting to have the mentality and performance of a big team too, but as much as I wanted that, I preferred not to bet on chelsea and just follow the game and to my surprise chelsea drew. looking at the table:



There are 24 points difference between Arsenal and Chelsea. Honestly, Chelsea have become an irrelevant team in the Premier League. and I wonder when we will see Chelsea fighting for the title? When will we see Chelsea back in the European Champions League? and the funniest part of the game against burnley:



Burnley was playing with 10 players since the 40th minute, and Chelsea had 11 players, even with that advantage Chelsea didn't win

Newcastle made a very good epic comeback in this match even though they were 3 goals behind by Westham but Newcastle still didn't give up, they immediately put up enough resistance so they were able to score 3 goals in the near future, what an extraordinary victory for Newcastle because of the 3 points they achieved today. This is very important for Newcastle to continue collecting as many points as possible. Even though this victory does not change Newcastle's position, in my opinion this victory is very meaningful because if you continue to lose, Newcastle's position will decrease further.
