We have been having Mikel Arteta at the coach post of Arsenal for more than four years and things are taking change as well like at the end of the 2022 they were at the fifth spot than at the end of the 2023 they were at the second spot, and now they are at the top with having fair chance for winning of title mean things are improved under his era and players mentality is also changed with experience and quality level are also had good improvement which is good sign if we have no big changes in coming months then surely they could be at the top level of Premier League which could be good for them and surely this could be good sign for the Arsenal which were having tag of medicore club now changing as one of the best in this league.

Now just few days left for the game which is going to have big impact on end of this season, but things are surely not as they needed due to injuries but mostly are expected we will have match with full strength by both clubs as both are having good chance of win title in this season.

Manchester City has proven this when they were without several of their main players due to injuries and that did not have a significant impact on the team's performance and I see that there is equality of quality between Manchester City players in all lines so that even though player rotation occurs, performance is still maintained.
Likewise, against Arsenal later, I think the absence of several players will not have a significant impact and Manchester City still has a big chance of winning the match.

The full Man City squad played on the match day against Liverpool and they could not do anything, talk more of now that key player like Walker would be missing in the match. What do you think would happen. Don't also forget that Arsenal won Liverpool that almost win City on that day, because they had more chances of scoring than City. Assuming these two mentioned players will be in the game, it will be very difficult for Arsenal to win, but now that they are out, it wouldn't be as difficult as it ought to be. Nobody can tell if Arsenal force is even stronger than City currently, but I will be on Arsenal on that day because I want to see the downfall of City not being able to be in the title race.

If the players you mentioned are unavailable against Arsenal, I do not think that Manchester City will win the game since Kyle Walker is the best defender in Manchester City. If Manchester City's injured players are unable to play against Arsenal, Arsenal will have a major advantage to win and dominate the most of the game, despite that Manchester City will host the game. We don't know if De Bruyne will be fit for their next game against Arsenal after getting injured against Liverpool. I thought only De Bruyne would be absent, but now John Stone and Kyle Walker will be unavailable. It will definitely have an impact on their game against Arsenal.


You're right. Pep Guardiola may choose another player to replace Kyle Walker and other players in their defense line against Arsenal, but they will not be as powerful in defense. Kyle Walker sustained an injury after playing 20 minutes in their international friendly against Brazil. We know that Manchester City may not be as weak as we assume, but they will not give Arsenal as much trouble as they will when the injured players return to play.

It looks like the situation is becoming more difficult because after all, Manchester City also has to prepare to play a match in the Champions League against Real Madrid, moreover the injury of key players will of course mean that player rotation will not produce completely good results. With these considerations factors, even though Manchester City is not completely weakened but of course, with these situations and conditions, Arsenal will be able to maximize it well too. Moreover, in the first meeting this season when Arsenal played at home against Manchester City, in fact Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City with a score of 1-0. Therefore, at this moment I also think that it will still be difficult for Manchester City to win even though Manchester City are playing at home, but yes, at least a draw is still possible to happen.

Even if Manchester City has a good squad dept you cannot compare first-team players to second-team players. For instance, when Kevin De Bruyne was injured, Manchester City was struggling to win their matches. But when Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury, Manchester City's performance improved, and they started winning matches easily.

Man City's back line may indeed be slightly weakened by injuries to Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji and John Stones. But Man City still has some pretty good defenders in the second tier. It's just that this will not make Man City's defense completely strong as usual. Now it's just a matter of Pep Guardiola creating a better strategy to close the gaps that could appear in Man City's back line. Arsenal, whose level of attack has increased recently, can indeed be a threat that can destroy Man City's defense. It's just that Man City as the host usually always has higher motivation to win the match. But if Arsenal manages to win in this match then that will be an extraordinary thing for Arsenal because it will make Arsenal record 3 consecutive wins against Man City this season. And actually it's quite hard to believe. So I don't think this will happen.

I think Manchester City also still has enough resources to replace injured players and among the players are not so far away in performance like Lewis, Nathan if forced can also carry out the job desk of Stones and Walker.
At home Etihad is also a freedom for Manchester City to conquer Arsenal, yes talking a little disturbance at the back maybe yes but I think Guardiola has a way to survive and win the match in this match, because again this is also a decisive match for both in the series for the throne at the end of the season, the possibility of a draw is much greater if we consider both can compete equally.

The demand of the job he is doing at old Trafford is very different from that of Ajax his previous club. Secondly the competition in the premier league is very different from his former job, so Eric Ten Hag will find it difficult to navigate. We are talking about the premier league which is arguably the best league in the world and teams like Manchester City, Liverpool are going to make life difficult for the other clubs. Manchester United can't continue this way, I think they have given ETH enough time to do something to revive the club, but it seems that Ten Hag wisdom is exhausted and he can't do anything. If United sacks Ten Hag at the end of the season, I won't be surprised. A big team like United shouldn't be struggling to even get an Europa league slot in the EPL, so Ten Hag should go in my own opinion.

It totally depends on what both clubs will use squads. I can't really sure about what compositions gonna be used by city. Talking about Arsenal has a better chance of getting three points from the city is too early. I remind you that if debruyne and grealish have joined in the training session. You can't really sure if they will not play in the upcoming game, right?
Im still seeing it as 50:50. I remind you that if it will be away game for arsenal in etihad stadium.

That's true if stones joined with akanji and walker in the treatment room but i think that the secondary squad is also good enough to replace him. I remind you that if city was also able performing quite consistent even without him.
As long as we have bruyne and grealish in the squad and im sure that city will able to win against arsenal soon.

I will tell you that if martinelli was also suffering injury on his foot. he was also missed several match and his potential date to return still remain unknown this time. It means that if arsenal may not also perform without him.
Saka will not be really fit yet play against city since he will be only recovering from his injury.

I don't know the coach of Manchester city to be weak minded or been our of idea about what to do or how well to handle his boys, he's always got this mindset of not letting his team best room dependent on a single players such that they will end up loosing their form or wouldn't be productive in the absence of the players, he trys to build a team thats dependent on a collective team strength and that's made him stand out.

The absence of any of these players will only mean to guardiola to make replacement and the team moves on, it may actually affect the strength of the team slightly buy or wouldn't be for room long and they will be back again in form on their feet doing so well so it's more like they are just going to have a slight effect on productivity buy it's not a total halt on their productivity, just like in the case of de bruyne, when he was away for awhile it was only affecting the number of goals they could get in a game.but they were still on winning ways and winning most of their games.

Kyle walker has got a replacement already if he's absent and guardilola knows roo well the implications of his absence and wouldn't take chances so he's know how best to tackle the situation and still keep his team ahead regardless of the situation so I doubt if Manchester city will actually be really affected because already they have built that very strong form for this season already and their mentality is more of winning than otherwise.

As long as there are still replacement players for the line usually occupied by John Stones and Kyle Walker, I don't think Manchester City will immediately become weak because of this. Because the Manchester City coach himself will also think about this more seriously because remembering that the match is at Manchester City's home ground, the Manchester City coach will choose players who are more suitable to fill that line so that the match can be exciting and it won't be easy for Arsenal to win there.

There are still several games left for Manchester United to catch up on points from Tottenham and Aston Villa to qualify for the Champions League, but the chances they have are very small this season because Tottenham and Aston Villa will definitely try to maintain their position.
To even qualify for the Europa League, Manchester United have to catch up six points behind Tottenham so they will be very burdened for that.
The opportunity to reach this position is a little more difficult, but they still have a chance to fight because it is possible that Tottenham will experience defeat in the next few matches and Manchester United cannot afford to lose any more points.

However, not everything is Ten Hag fault, because Ten Hag also only continued players from the previous coaching selection. So if we blame Manchester United performance, we will involve many coaches who failed. I admit that so far Ten Hag hasn't been able to do much, plus its player purchasing policy is also not quite right, including Ten Hag monotonous strategy. Then financial support from Glazer has become quite a complicated problem since he took charge of the club. Sir Jim also hasn't made much movement either in the transfer market or in improving the stadium. For Manchester United there is no longer any hope of securing a UCL ticket next season, Ten Hag failed in his first season but this is all still normal because improving the club requires quite a long process. I'm not surprised that Manchester United lost their playing philosophy after Sir Alex left. He also left the club but did not prepare the right person to replace him. At that time, if you still remember, Pep Guardiola was also one of the candidates to replace Sir Alex, but unfortunately he was not selected and was chosen by Manchester City. What happened to Manchester City? able to outperform Manchester United in everything, performance, stability and also the quality of its players.

As Manchester City's players are injured and taking advantage of this opportunity, Arsenal will surely attack enough to win the next match. If these players had not been injured in Man City, we would have seen a much more exciting match with Arsenal and a competitive game. However, Arsenal will exploit this weakness and attack enough to win against Manchester City. And this match will definitely be more competitive because the team that wins this match will definitely go to the top of the points table. Although Arsenal are currently at the top of the points table, surely Arsenal will try hard to get a win against Manchester City. And Manchester City will not give up so easily, they will attack enough and I think the game will definitely be more exciting and there will be enough fight between the two teams.

Mikel Arteta has managed Manchester City and previously served as Pep Guardiola's assistant coach, so whatever Pep Guardiola implements, at least Mikel Arteta knows everything about Manchester City, it seems that Manchester City's strengths can be easily read with Arsenal because of this factor.

However, if you look at the game, the two clubs both have different strengths, and Manchester City will benefit in terms of young players who are really worth watching out for and also having a goal predator like Erling Haaland as Manchester City's spearhead, you must remember this. If this is not the case then it is very likely that Arsenal will be knocked out of the top of the Premier League.

We have wired season for the Manchester United with their quality and consistency both were on decline which is main point of the talk but now as we are having last few rounds left in this season things are coming on track like in last 10 games from all competitions they won 8 and lost only 2 which is huge change and in remaining 9 games if they are able to give performance like this we can expect another surprise from them which could be possible, but now it's time for having serious work instead of talk and on papers they are having good chance but can they do in reality this is surely needed to be checked because usually we have sudden problems which give them shocking defeats and things gone on wrong side now hopefully we will have something better which is more important for them and their fans.

Ten Hag sometimes confuses me. If you pay attention last season, Man United started the season badly. But they ended the season quite well because they were able to finish in 3rd place. And that made them qualify for the UCL at that time. And I remember that everyone started to favor Man United because they all saw Man United in good form at the end of last season. But we can see now. Ten Hag apparently repeated this season quite badly. even Man United failed in the UCL group stage. And now Man United is starting to bounce back and has managed to climb to 6th place in the EPL. But I think Man United's revival is a little late this season. And I don't think this team will get a UCL ticket for this season. If they are lucky, maybe they can get Europa League tickets. But I doubt it. I can't say Ten Hag failed. but I feel Ten Hag is not as good as when he was at the previous club. And maybe I hope Man United has a different coach next season.

After watching remaining fixtures we can't right off any team because things can take any change and challenging matches are also online for these three as well so from here anybody game but still we need consistency and improving in quality if any team want to stay for the top four which is giving good advantage Manchester United is inconsistent which is surely big problem for them and things are never been settled while we have Ten Hag as coach which fail to bring stability in team which is important if you want to stay at the top we have good improvement in Aston Villa and Tottenham, but sadly we have huge decline in Manchester United and Newcastle United which is more down.

Now we are heading for the next round with today all international friendless are ended and clubs are preparing for their campaign, and hopefully we will have all updates about injured players as well which are another problem for the many clubs.

Man United's performance was not completely convincing to achieve consecutive wins in the remaining matches until the end, it seems impossible for a club that is not very consistent like Man United. If indeed Man United is able to do that then we should also appreciate it and that is a good achievement but if Hotspur and Aston Villa were caught off guard because they were not very consistent so Man United could occupy their position, the difference in points between Man United and the 2 teams above them was not that big, therefore each team could still improve their performance so they could perform well and win in a row.
