The international break often presents a nightmare for English league teams that are competing in the championship as it is today, player injuries are of course very likely to occur and in the end make the club will be very disadvantaged, because indeed their performance is affected by the injury of their main player who plays for the national team at this time, what you say is true,  Last season the injury storm that hit Arsenal made them have to hand over the Premier League trophy to Manchester City when Arsenal were only one step away from achieving the trophy, but I don't think that will happen to Manchester City this season, although at the moment Manchester City have some injured players but they have better squad depth, So at least they have substitutes who do have the same  level with as the main players and that is different from Arsenal who had less squad depth last season and even today.

De Bruyne injury, it doesn't seem too severe and reportedly De Bruyne has a groin injury so it may not take much time to heal, besides that I think all Manchester City players will be very ready to face Arsenal next week because after all Manchester City substitutes are also very worthy of Arsenal to watch out for.

Yes, this is what many club coaches always worry about during the international break, mainstay players getting injured and this could be detrimental to the club, and this is what happened to Harry Maguire at Manchester United.
In my opinion, Harry Maguire, who is ETH's mainstay, is quite disadvantaged because of the injury he suffered. Even though it is not serious, Harry Maguire's presence is really needed by Manchester United to be able to maintain the defense considering that Harry Maguire's role is very important.
really agree with Harry Maguire being rested in the match against Brentford considering that in the next match against Chelsea Harry Maguire's role is really needed and he can be fit again

The international break was again a disaster and this time it was reported that Harry Maguire had to leave England early because he suffered an injury against Brazil some time ago. It seems that Harry Maguire also doesn't want to take any more risks and is prioritizing his recovery so that it is faster and can strengthen Manchester United again. As we know, Harry Maguire has been Erik ten Hag's mainstay for the central defender position for quite a long time and therefore if he gets worse then Manchester United will find it difficult to find other options.

I think that after experiencing a difficult season with Manchester United, Harry Maguire cannot lose his performance again and considering that Lisandro Martinez is also still injured, he is the only hope for the defense along with Varane. Apart from that, it is reported that the injury is not too serious and he will only be out for a short time. If you look at Manchester United's schedule this week, they will play Brentford, it is certain that Harry Maguire will be absent from that match.

The injuries to Kelvin De Bruyne's groin is only for few days, and it won't take him as long as anticipated to get back on the field of play. In the Manchester City game against Arsenal, I would like to see him make an appearance in the second half than not at all.

Walker is another guy whose injury I am aware will be a setback to Manchester City's defense. He will not be in any of the Manchester City until early April.

According to the information received, Haaland sustained a back injury, but the Norway doctor believes there is no need for concern at this time because he believes he will be fine in days. 

Since the game between Manchester City and Arsenal will decide which side still has a chance to win the Premier League trophy, it will be interesting to watch how Pep Guardiola arranges his player lineup against the Arsenal squad.
*correction* Erling Haaland and Kelvin De Bruyne are not from the same country. Haaland is from Norway while Kelvin De Bruyne is from Belgium.

Pep guardiola's bench is one major advantage he utilises, because he has a second eleven team that can do the job, but Same cannot be applied to Liverpool and arsenal, Liverpool have relatively good bench but not as outstanding as Manchester city's own, same goes for arsenal.  Liverpool can as well lose their next game too, that situation will help arsenal widen their lead a little. As it stands now with the three of them, arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city, anything can happen. However if Manchester city are allowed to clinch the top spot, then the both teams should be ready to kiss the title goodbye, because pep guardiola hardly drop points when he is at the top spot, he has proven that for the last two and half years in the EPL.

Manchester city chances is winning the league this season is getting slimmer, due to the injuries of their players. Injuries is what declines the performance of a club, and this was how Arsenal had injury problem on their players last season that made Manchester city to snatch the title from them. I think this is payback time for Arsenal in their next meeting with Manchester city.

Maybe this season was never meant for City to become the winner, that is why we are seeing this late hour injuries in a critical time like this. City needs to pray that De Bruyne gets back to his feet before the clash with Real Madrid, if not they are out of the champions league. What a bad moment for them, I hope Pep will be able to make sure his team doesn't drop much points.

Yes, injuries to key players have weakened Man City. And partly because their competitors are becoming stronger this season. Most notably, Arsenal and Liverpool are strong opponents to them. But in misfortune, there is also luck. Thanks to that, coach Pep Guardiola has found young talents to lay the foundation for Man City in the future. I acknowledge Foden's maturity. During the season of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland's long-term absence, Foden stepped up to shoulder the responsibility and shined with 18 goals and 10 assists. Helping Man City raise their ambition to successfully defend the "treble" - the most extraordinary thing if they win the Premier League championship for the 4th consecutive time.

Currently, Man City receives bad news: Walker is injured and is at risk of missing the big match against Arsenal. Walker's absence from the game against Arsenal next weekend will be a big blow to Man City.

Guardiola has very good depth, benches, but this also applies to Arsenal and Liverpool, so the conditions are equal for everyone. The most important thing is that all the main players are in the game, injuries can affect it, and players from the bench cannot always fully replace them.

Liverpool could top the table again in the next round if Arsenal lose points. I don’t believe that City will lose at home, so I think that Arsenal will not be able to retain the lead for very long. They are lucky that there is a short break in the championship now, and they can enjoy being at the top.

Injuries to key players can affect each team chances of winning, their presence in crucial matches is really needed by each coach. The match between Manchester City versus Arsenal is one of the deciding matches for the fate of both teams in their pursuit of the Premier League trophy this season, it would be a shame if both coaches had to lose key players. In the Manchester City camp, De Bruyne is reportedly injured, we know that De Bruyne is a tempo maker in their midfield. Without the playmaker presence, Manchester City would certainly have difficulty winning the match. Meanwhile in Arsenal camp, Arteta lost three important players, namely Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.

Pep Guardiola or Arteta certainly don't want to take big risks if their players are not ready to be deployed, they certainly have rotation options to fill the starting XI later. Does not rule out the possibility that in the next few days these players will be able to join and train again, so that they can play next week. The match will definitely be fierce and full of pressure, both teams will likely play a little carefully to avoid fatal mistakes. Losing points could have a big effect on their next steps, besides Liverpool really hope that the Manchester City versus Arsenal match will end in a draw.

Even though they cannot appear with a full squad, there is no reason for them not to try as hard as they can to win the match. I can't say that they will fail to defend their title this season, but I also can't say that they will succeed in defending their title, because after all, both opportunities are still very open to them. There are still 2 clubs that are competing very closely with them and it is not yet certain whether they will succeed or fail in this very tight competition.

In fact, Manchester City also has an even squad depth, although it won't be like their main players, but at least they don't have any significant differences. Now it's just a matter of how the coach prepares it all, and he must be able to ensure that the players he trusts to play can give the best performance they have. Before the competition ends, there are still opportunities during that time. This applies not only to Manchester City, but also to Liverpool and Arsenal. Especially when the distance between them is very close, it is possible to change only a difference of 1 point.

Liverpool had missed 5 starters; Alisson, Salah, Trent, Robertson, Konate. Left back is Joe Gomez who is originally a right stopper. Right back and right stopper are played by Bradley and Quansah, who came through the academy to the first team this year. If they had beaten City with this squad, they should have given the cup directly to Liverpool, which they almost did. So it's an incredible job to get City into this situation with so many absentees, congratulations Klopp. Salah really is an incredible winger, both technically and in terms of intermediate passing, because as soon as he came on, perhaps with his first touch on the ball, he put luis diaz in a very comfortable position facing the goalkeeper. An outstanding talent. As the current situation for PL, if one of the three loses points, they will wait for the others to lose, which is a very difficult psychological situation in this league. It is a very, very difficult league to recover, to come back, to get ahead again.

When their players have to defend their country's national team, the club must be prepared for bad news like this.
Doubts about Bukayo Saka being able to play in this Sunday's big match are certainly bad news for Arsenal because it means that without Saka's presence, Arsenal's wing play is very likely to be disrupted.
It's quite unfortunate that just a friendly match causes several players to get injured, especially some of the players who are injured are core players so it will disrupt the team's performance and the results will be difficult to predict, and Manchester City also experienced the same thing, so this week's match will be very difficult to predict.


Yes, he is not as important as Bukayo Saka at Arsenal, but Harry Maguire can be a good substitute who is quite reliable and also some time ago he scored a goal for his club against Fulham even though Manchester United lost the final result.

There is no other choice but to continue playing with the available players because injury is a risk factor that cannot be avoided. Many great teams are like that. That's why you should never rely on one or two great players; if they are injured, there is no other solution than to accept that fact. If Manchester City forces injured players to remain on the field, it will make the injuries more fatal and cause more harm to Manchester City. At least for now, there are still a few days ahead that are sufficient for Manchester City to form a team that can be used to compete against Arsenal at the end of the month.

It's totally the right decision for the city, too. I meant, look at how Keywalker suffers a new injury, and he potentially missed some matches, which will be very important for the city. You can imagine when the city will be missing De Bruyne and Walker. It's going to be another disaster to come soon. City needs to prepare for the matches against Arsenal and Real Madrid.
The club must be able to perform with the full squad in order to qualify for the further stage. It would be a very big blunder if pep was allowing de bruyne to participate in the friendly match with his current condition. There are around 2 weeks remaining before UCL will continue.
I'm sure that De Brüyne will be able to return to its best performance. Things have become hard for city to get PL trophy this seaosn since there are two competitors compete with city. Pep shall to ensure his team to perform even better than before.

At the moment, despite the position in the standings, bookmakers estimate the chances for the title as follows:

City - 2.10
Liverpool - 2.90
Arsenal - 3.50

Quite an interesting feeling arises when I look at these quotes: they all seem profitable  
A bet on Arsenal looks interesting since the odds compensate for the risk (and with a margin), a bet on Liverpool since the Liverpool title will not be anything unusual and the odds are high, a bet on City since it is +110% and during the season City quotes were at the level of 1.10.

The addition of finance and force last season gave Newcastle a new face. However, this is only a superficial improvement, the team's depth is still unstable and has not yet reached the sustainable development that a big team should have. Participating in this year's Champion League was a great success for Newcastle. They had a chance to make it deep into the next round, but their immaturity pulled them back to the ground. Howerver, I think participating in the Champion League also partly makes them loss of force, causing them to fall in the Premier League. Eddie Howe has made very significant contributions to Newcastle's comeback, helping Newcastle move in the right direction compared to Benitez's time. Before he arrived, Newcastle was under threat of relegation and lost the trust of its fans. I think we should give Eddie Howe more time and the stability of the force next season can help them have better results in the Premier League.

constant in and out injuries is one disorganized factor that can ruine the career of a talented player and that's the fate De bruyne is facing right now in Manchester City. As talented as he is I wonder why an engine room like him in the midfield of City will be bedeviled with such circumstance and this can change the mind of Gardiola to start looking for his replacement and it may have to an extend a negative effect on the team's successes to critical games that ordinarily if de Bruyne were to be in the game with one of his magical passes a goal will be gotten.

However, despite how minor this particular injury he's facing at the moment he's sure of not participating in the first leg against real Madrid in the UCL which is something any coach would have a concert for looking at the calibre of players from his rival team. Manchester City has before now pulled through without him but it's always different in the way they play when de Bruyne is present on the pitch.

I don't think so because the Manchester City team has proven that they are able to maintain their performance even though several of their main players are injured and this season they have gone through several matches without several of their mainstay players and their performance has been maintained and that is different from what happened last season.

Currently, Manchester City's main players have all recovered from injuries and it can be seen in the last few matches that the performance of the Manchester City team has improved a lot so I think it is very possible for them to be able to compete for the title this season considering they have quite good strength and consistency at the moment This.

In terms of chances and opportunities this season, they are actually still the same at the moment because Arsenal and Liverpool have the same number of points even though the number of goals is different. Meanwhile, Manchester City is only one point behind these two teams, so the chances and chances of winning the Premier League title this season still look the same for these three. However, if you favor Manchester City as the team that will win the title this season, I don't think that's wrong because Manchester City is also a team that has the strength to get it.

Chelsea will face Burnley this week, this should not be a difficult match for them, because Burnley is one of the teams that is in the relegation zone this season, maybe they will not even be able to survive in the Premier League next season. It would be a shame if Chelsea couldn't win in a match like this, especially since they will also play as hosts in this match.

All the advantages are in Chelsea's hands now and they must be able to make the best use of this by ensuring they win. They also really need a win because they have to be in a better place at the end of the season. now they are in 11th place in the standings, only 1 point away from 10th place, and 2 points away from 9th place and so on. If they can maximize the matches they will face in the remainder of the season, they will be in an even better place at the end of the season. Yes, even though they are not in the European zone, that is a good thing for them. Chelsea has experienced many declines, they must recover as soon as possible.
