Now you get me right since you are able to counter your word of saying that Arsenal were losing possession to Man City last season or Arsenal were been outplayed by Man City.

Yes Arsenal f up big time last season which was due to injuries to some of their key players and you should also remember that VAR was part of Arsenal’s downfall last season.


I believe Arteta did his best to correct such errors you making reference because was the error through Tomiyasu that caused Arsenal the first leg defeat against City last season, that is why I said, lack of experience and injuries affected Arsenal last season.
Nevertheless, the first leg tells a lot about the new Arsenal, and the Community shield final against City also have a lot of lessons to be learned and it shows how well prepared Arsenal is against their top rival Man City.
I am not in support of Arsenal or Man City, I am just trying to tell you that something resealable might come out of Arsenal play this time.

I agree with you because the role of a good coach to the development of a good team is such that can't be  just overlooked because it will definitely tell on the kind of results the team gets at the end of every season and the kind of trophies they will be able to get by the end of the season aswell too so all these been combined together can literally tell and show how well the coach has been capable of handling the team.

Manchester united is suffering as a result of a poor coaching system, if ten hag was a good coach enough, he would be able to not only manage the team, but will be able to aswell get the team to be better and productive a d even if he's gotten what may look like players who are not compatible with his style, he will be able to adopt some kind of flexibility which could actually help them a long way just like I'm the case of Arsenal a.s Leverkusen, these too teams were not any better than Manchester united before the arrival of their recent coaches and now see how well they are doing u see the supervision of these coaches.

Sacking ten hag will not solve all the problem Manchester has got, but it will go a long way to helping them get to solve their problem because I even think that at some point, some of the players don't look comfortable with him anymore so they too will perform even better when he eventually leaves, if Manchester united get a good coach, their performance is definitely going to change because they have got a good depth and aswell they can be productive too.

Of course that could happen if it is true that Arsenal is able to beat Manchester City, but it will require a lot of effort for Arsenal. This match will determine who is the best this week and of course there will be a change in position for both of them on the standings. Meanwhile, Arsenal has a lot of quite tough work to do in the remaining matches this season.

Between Arsenal and Manchester City they will definitely continue to compete for the title this season and here we will see between Pep Guardiola and Arteta. These two coaches have their own way of building the team this season and if we look at Arsenal performance this season it is better than last season. However, in terms of mentality, maybe Manchester City is strong enough so that the match between the two will prove who is the best between the two.

The absence of players due to injury is still one of the options that Manchester United's performance is a little worse but in other respects as you said regardless of some players being injured or not it will not make Manchester United's situation better because after all their problems are more complex than that.

Indeed, the presence of players will provide a new spirit where Ten Hag can apply some schemes according to the will he wants but on the other hand, with Ten Hag's current way of coaching which is indeed more likely to prioritize ego rather than chemistry between each other it will still be very difficult to happen because it is an inability of Ten Hag to control the players especially with the current conditions, the chemistry of coaches and players is important but Ten Hag cannot do that just because he cannot control his ego.
As long as that is still going on, there is nothing that can be done apart from consistency that will never stabilize.

What are you saying senior? Let me shock you, I watched every game Arsenal played against Manchester City and I was disappointed more than I praised the Gunners last season.
Arsenal played everything called football and after that how did the game end, Arsenal lost to City. Now you don't have to say Manchester City won Arsenal when the Gunners played good football because City had experience, my dear if you're good you're good and Arsenal was too afraid to get things right. Imagine a teams playing everything they know but at the end they lost and you expect the loser to go home with 3pts or the trophy? Hell no.
Understand something, Pep Guardiola is a very wise coach, if he knows he can't get anything done with his style(s) he'll wait for you or the opponent to make one silly error and that's the end of the game, he'll move out of the pitch with all 3pts. Before you play City be ready for any form of surprises, that's what is happening this season, mind you Manchester City are not that strong this season but they get the job done, against Bournemouth I think, it was too hard for City but they allowed the opponent to feel relaxed and when they felt at home City gave them that surprise and won rhe game.
City are ready to hand the ball to you for 30mins but when the time is right they'll strike and you'd be there crying because you lost after dominating the game, look possession is nothing in football but you see that victory and 3pt, give it to the coach that's why I love Mourinho (he said Barcelona can keep the ball while he walks away with the 3pts), that's Arsenal for you last season, play well and lose. So understand what I'm saying about the Gunners don't use because you're a fan to judge wrongly.

Playing at home will give City an advantage
However, Pep and the players must be more focused and work harder to become winners at the end of the match, this particular match will determine the fate of the two teams at the end of the season.
And Arsenal is not an easy opponent, they have proven their tenacity and standards.

NB: I'm not a fan of either team but I would enjoy this match.

But maybe the injury is not too serious and he can play during the match because from the various media that I searched, no one said that he had a serious injury and I hope that is true. De Bruyne's presence is quite important in Pep Guardiola's squad because he is the organizer of attacks and the one who neutralizes the midfield to make it more lively. Without De Bruyne they still have another midfielder who can make the game livelier but it is a little different to have in the team.

Arsenal's weakness is in defense and I see it will be quite difficult for them to match Man City's attacks. Like when the first leg took place, even though at that time De Bruyne couldn't play due to injury. But Arsenal was lucky enough to win the match because they managed to score a goal in the last minute before the match ended.

A draw sounds fair for both of them, considering that Arteta and Pep Guardiola don't seem to have a complete squad due to injuries. It is true that it will be very difficult for any team, including Arsenal, to beat City at the Etihad, regardless of the ambitious background that both teams have. But whatever the result, Liverpool will most likely get a blessing from this match.

Of course Arsenal have the attributes to cause a surprise, they have also proven they can beat City, and Arteta fleet has the opportunity to do it again. Apart from that, this is the attraction, where City will try to take revenge against Arsenal and at the same time they can move up one ranking, if Liverpool stumble then City will automatically take over the top of the standings.

The storm of injuries is always a frightening threat for all teams, because it can affect their chances of securing full points in every match. Especially towards the end of the season like now, where the difference in goals alone can make a difference in position in the standings. Like many people, I also think the City versus Arsenal match is actually very difficult to predict.

It will take a lot of effort when Arsenal faces the Manchester City squad later. Yes, I see that Arsenal is very ambitious in fighting for victory and can beat Manchester City, even though I saw that Arsenal in this season's match did not perform too well so there is still something that needs to be improved in terms of performance in that match. field or lack of focus during practice.

Yes, if later in this match Arsenal loses to Manchester City, then the Arsenal team must admit that the Manchester City squad is not an extraordinary opponent or cannot be underestimated, its ability to play on the field. Manchester City has a very strong defensive strength and sufficient cooperation between players. stable and Manchester City also has good and best players in its team.
If Arsenal is careless or lacks focus in playing in the match against Manchester City, this will have a bad impact on Arsenal because it does not rule out the possibility that the team's position will be shifted in the standings.

The EPL is drawing to end and now we’re focusing on the 3 clubs who’re close on points with each other. This weekend our main focus will be on the match between Man City and Arsenal at the Etihad. This match holds many weight and won’t be viewed by just fans of these clubs.

 This is one match that could be the determinant of who goes home with the league. Yes because a drop in point from any of these teams give Liverpool a comfortable win up front at the instance they’re able to get all 3 points before this match. This match will be met with all seriousness from both teams and I think it’s not difficult to know the winner already.

 ⁠Yes, this match is at the Etihad and in as much as Arsenal are playing an improved football, still they can’t be compared to City because they haven’t been able to defeat City at the Etihad. Yes we know history can be rewritten but I don’t think city will let for that history be rewritten. city will sure get the victory in this match and at the end of the day it’ll be a boost for Liverpool.

 ⁠I’ll not want City winning the league again this time because I’m tired of Pep and how dominant he’s been on the league for over 6-7 years and still not looking relentless. Man City will sure defeat Arsenal but I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up with race with Liverpool.

I also believe that Should they win against Manchester city which will be a massive one considering that it will be the second win for them against Manchester City for more than five years or seasons now. The win will definitely boost their confidence into the final games. But their biggest mistake will be to underrate the remain clubs. The four clubs you mentioned which are Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea are all eyeing a higher finish than they are currently at just to qualify for European competitions next season and as such will be games just as intense as that of the Manchester city game for Arsenal. So the best thing for Arteta and his boys is to approach the game just like they would a mega final.


Yes in terms of team performance and club target Chelsea seems to in the same cycling category going back and forth. This season the only thing they lack is consistency, they win today and then just lose the next day. But still they have an opportunity to still win a silverware this season in place of FA cup. Many people have underestimated Chelsea so much in this game but they should know that Chelsea has draw the last two league games between them Manchester city putting in a stellar performance which to me if they show will give them the ability to knockout Manchester city

Finally the national break is over and we can watch league games again. There is a very big game on Sunday, but before that let's look at Saturday's games.
The top 3 teams have opened the points difference. 4th place race between Aston Villa and Tottenham is pretty exciting. Both teams play at home this week. Aston Villa's opponent is Wolverhampton. I think Aston Villa will win without much difficulty, while Tottenham will play Luton Town. Luton Town are going through a very bad period and relegation is a big possibility for them. I think Tottenham will have a comfortable win and there will be no change in the standings for these two teams this week.

A win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium will help Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title. Their confidence will undoubtedly grow, and no team they face until the end of the season will pose a threat to them. Tottenham, for example, may pose a challenge, but aside from that, every other team should be a bonus for them to earn all three points in order to maintain a comfortable lead in the table.


The changes we expect to occur will undoubtedly add a new dimension to the fight for the Premier League title. All teams will want a new approach and strategy to regain or maintain their position through the end of the season. Matches like this at the end of the season are what make football enjoyable and worth following. Coming from the best league in Europe makes it even more appealing to watch and follow this season.

How can you say the coach has nothing to do with the current situation of the club? We all know that when a good coach enters a club, everything changes for good.Arsenal team was in shambles before Arteta came,but he has changed alot of things about Arsenal,their playing style, aggressiveness,their defensive nature and the mentality of the boys.So when a good coach manages a team,there is every tendency that the team will do well.If Ten Hag was very good,Man u would have one of the best teams in EPL now.

Games immediately after the international break are usually very tricky, managers have to assess their players to know who is fit or not and also to know the players who are fresh in their minds and ready to go again. City had a couple of injury scares during the international break, though only two of those players (Walker and Stones) missed training today.

These injuries could have an impact on the game, Saka also pulled out of the England squad, i think footballers are made to play too many games, and it is taking a toll on them. City hardly lose at the Etihad, and that home advantage could be the reason they get over the line, but what is likely to happen in this game is a draw.

And despite the inconsistency, he will be taking Manchester United to the another finals in two years, and in his second season, isn't that something great?
Erik Ten Hag is not the problem for Manchester United and they have to fix all of these speculating news about Erik Ten Hag leaving next season or been sacked completely.

They will do better if they have a well structured squad ready for the next Premier League Competition next season. Jim Radcliffe would allow the sporting directors take them decision and I'm sure they'll be back the dutch manager for success ahead.
They have all it takes to qualify for the Champions League Competition next season even if they finish fifth position on the Premier League standing.

Of course it's possible, but I still believe Manchester City can win their home games and maintain their home record against Arsenal. The match could end in a draw for both teams, but the odds are not good to hope for. Many people believe Manchester City are the favorites at home because of their record and performance, but we will see for sure after 90 minutes.

Liverpool might take advantage if Manchester City and Arsenal draw, but I'm sure one of the two will win the game and I'm picking Manchester City to do it. Manchester City have home advantage and the record, but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't surprise.

That's it.
Perhaps recently, Arsenal's performance has been quite good and consistent. However, it cannot be denied that Arsenal have also been quite careless at times, so that they sometimes lose at times and against very unexpected opponents. But usually, when playing against top clubs, Arsenal seems more motivated and can optimally carry out the match as well as possible. They have beaten top clubs several times in this EPL. So, indeed when facing Man City later. they also have chances. However, the match will take place at the Etihad, so this may not be very favorable for Arsenal.

Honestly, in the minds of Liverpool and their fans, they definitely hope that Man City will win against Arsenal later. Because this will really provide an advantage for Liverpool to take over the top position in the EPL standings. That said, of course Liverpool also won. Don't just lose Liverpool, this will be very annoying. Because after all, Liverpool must not be careless, Brighton is not a club that is easy to beat even though their performance is not as good as before. But what is certain is that Liverpool's chance of winning is much higher. So there will be a possibility of changing positions if Arsenal is unable to get full points.

If Arsenal can win Manchester City, they they are going to have higher chances of winning the premier league this season, they will want to win any club that comes their way after playing against Manchester City and they win, but sometimes Arsenal are always performing poorly mostly when playing against weaker teams, and nobody knows how the outcome of their match against Manchester City will be, but am not expecting a win from Arsenal in the match. If Arsenal can lose to Manchester City, then it’s really going affect them, because their chances to win the premier league will drop, and I won’t be surprise even when weaker teams win them. 

I think Arsenal's biggest problem this season is in the striker area. Arteta is a very good manager. I think his attacking strategies are good enough, but I think Arsenal's strikers are a bit inadequate. I don't think Arsenal can solve this problem this season, but they can solve this problem next season if they make some good signings because they need a player who can play directly as a striker. Osimhen didn't perform as well this season as he did last season but he could be a good candidate for Arsenal.
