Manchester City and Arsenal are the only EPL clubs that are promising to do better this season, it's quite improving to watch how these clubs have grown to become very competitive and strong enough to withstand any pressure coming in. Arsenal have been out for long time and their return means they're ready to compete with full strength and they will be able to hit harder for good scores on point. Mikel Arteta is lucky enough to have his team still present in the UEFA Champions League competition, they're absolutely doing great and scoring high points to push their strength to new levels unluck.

until now the strongest candidate is still Liverpool. besides still leading the standings the depth of the Liverpool squad is very deep. so if there is a player injured the backup or backup player is of the same quality as the core player.
In contrast to manchester city when Haland was injured his backup player was only julian alvarez and that reduced manchester city's goal productivity,
proven when Haland was injured City's ranking was scattered and had dropped out of the hunt for the English league champions.

I don't think Arsenal can win the league title even next season because anytime they start a new season they will be performing great and everyone will think they will win the trophy later if the league reach the middle they will start performing poor games and make other clubs overtake them and that is what happened to them last season and made Manchester win the trophy and this season they have started performing weak games and I think he has already affected them. Arteta needs to do something quickly so that they can play well in their remaining games, but he will be very difficult for them to complete with Liverpool and Manchester City for now.

Arsenal can just finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season, but the Premier League is for Liverpool or Manchester City because I see Manchester City players starting to come back from injury and they will come back with strong performance, because guadiola is a very talented coach and knows of his players going to Afcon Cup competition that will give guadiola confidence to win the title, Liverpool will miss Muhammad sallah and he can influence the team, because is a very talented and skillful players, i don't think Klopp will get better player that can play sallah round in the team.

Ups and downs in performance will definitely come to all clubs, we understand that there are many factors behind this, the club that gets the least amount of this situation will be lucky to lead the standings, yes I mean Liverpool. But on other hand, it is still doubtful that the position of Klopp squad will remain stable in the future, This means that the club currently in the top four has the opportunity to overtake Liverpool in the remaining matches ahead.

I admit that Man City has all the attributes and resources needed to maintain its dominance again this season. Likewise with Aston Villa and Arsenal, which I think also has the same thing, and we also have to be fair that their chances of competing for the EPL trophy are still quite big.

If Pep Guardiola squad has a big chance of overtaking Liverpool, then I think Aston Villa and Arsenal also have it and even we can't close our eyes to Tottenham existence. the dynamics of competition in winning the EPL trophy this season are very tight, I think the broader meaning of competitiveness can be interpreted as meaning that mediocre clubs also have the potential to steal points from favorite clubs.

The situation seems to favor Manchester City getting back into the race after several weeks out of race, we will see a miracle if Manchester City really takes over the top of the standings because previously some people said Manchester City had lost their chance to win the trophy but the fact is that this week Manchester City is getting closer. Now Liverpool have to really fight to maintain their position and that's without Moh Salah. Actually, I still believe in the current Liverpool squad it's just that when faced with another strong team I was a little doubtful.

After all, in the previous few seasons also when Manchester City won the Premier League trophy, at least throughout the season Manchester City also had a decline in results and performance . But ya, because Manchester City is a great team then of course over time and in the end Manchester City will again compete strongly in the title race.

Moreover, if for example Bruyne can return to play in the near future or ya, at least if Bruyne can return to play in the second half of the season . Then yes,atleast it will also be a guarantee for Manchester City to get their best performance back in the second half of the season.

After all, Manchester City are still in third place at this moment and yes, despite having a 5-point gap with Liverpool who are at the top of the Premier League standings. At least Manchester City still have a chance to be able to put pressure, and thus there is still a chance for Manchester City to be able to return to the top of the standings even though ya, it is not as easy as imagined.

Unlike last season, Arsenal doesn't have only Manchester City to fight for the league, they also have Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Aston Villa might be the least strongest of them all, but they have shown this season that it has what it takes to be among the title contenders.
Manchester City is ahead of Arsenal in 3rd position, 2 points behind Aston Villa, and 5 points behind Liverpool. Manchester City has a game in hand and a win in that game would take them to second position, just 2 points behind Liverpool while Liverpool would lose their highest goal scorer to his national team for the AFCON competition. While Manchester City trio of De Bruyne, Doku and Halland would be available.

I have the same thinking as you when Arsenal were about to play Fulham in their last Premier League match, but Arsenal lost the match which was surprising to some people because Arsenal deserve to win that match but a comeback from them was amazing and they won the match at the end.

Fulham have quality players in their squad which include William, Alex Iwobi and other experience players that will lead the team to a better position in the Premier League.


He is a good coach but not a lucky one. He has all the players he needs then while coaching PSG, but failed to win them the Champions League; I don't also believe in him at Chelsea anymore because he have quality and expensive players in his squad, yet no consistency.

Manchester City still has the possibility to return to the top of the standings if other teams are not consistent enough in the second half of this season. Because Aston Villa and Liverpool are still showing quite impressive performances this season and are also likely to continue again in the second half of this season. And this will certainly prevent Manchester City from reaching the top more easily because the level of competition this season is much different from last season.

Arsenal opportunity to win the Premier League this season is still open, they are 5 points adrift of the current leaders, Liverpool can still be caught, because there are still 18 matches remaining. But of course Arteta squad can no longer lose points, the depth of Arteta squad is also very good compared to last season. So I think Arsenal still has a big chance to continue competing in the hunt for trophies, just like Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City.

All teams want luck in the form of a complete squad, without any players experiencing injuries. Because this really affects their chances of achieving their targets, of course not only in the Premier League, including in European competitions too. Currently, it is still very difficult to guess who will be the champion when the season ends, because the standings board has not yet been formed with a significant points gap.

It's not a question of whether they need it or not, but rather whether Chelsea will make mistakes like before or whether they are looking for another striker who is much more productive than Lukaku who has played there. If they want to be competitors in the Premier League then in my opinion they need to bring in one more striker so that there are several strikers available for the team's needs. Jackson hasn't fully adapted yet so it will take a lot of time for him to adjust and the league continues so Chelsea needs to prepare for that.

Maatsen is also still not showing his best abilities in the team and I think there are many Chelsea players currently still having difficulty adapting to Pochettino's coaching style. It can be seen how bad the performance they showed while playing and they still had quite a hard time getting points.

Fulham are. no match to Liverpool, you can go do your checks in the last five games they've played, and five head to head fixtures included. I play soccer and I know how to respect opponents very well. This is nothing new to me. But currently, they've just lost three if not four of the last four games in the Premier League Competition. This a game to be played soon ( Come Next Week ). Just a little bothered with the absence of Mo Salah.

For Mauricio Pochetino, I don't even think he'll be the coach to win them the Premier League. He fails with PSG having Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior, Yes?
Then, Say no more Man!! He's not the man for Chelsea. I still can't just conclude completely, he'll be hungry and ambitious after all of his career failures from Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint Germany.

Yes, they have to. Arsenal failed last season to finish at the top but that was different thing as injuries got us near the conclusion of the season but this season Arsenal have been busy in the transfer windows and we have signed some really good players and have spent a lot of money so this season they have to finish at the top. It really hurts to see them being inconsistent when they had all the advantage. Still I am glad that they have advanced in CL but they have to do good in PL too. We are making the same mistakes we did last season. We need that confidence back again that we used to have otherwise it will be same thing over and over again.

Lukaku is still 30 years old like son. It's so strange to see that if we are linking his performance to the his age as the factor that was affecting his performance.
Despite already performing well in Serie A, Lukaku has the potential to further improve, which demonstrates that as long as he continues to receive playing opportunities, he will continue to excel. The most important thing to remember if none trust him in EPL. Why does he need to waste his time in EPL while none believes him to play? Even pochettino was not seriously approaching him to play again for chelsea. It must be noted that if lukaku is still under contract with chelsea. This is going to be another problem caused by lukaku can leave as free agent soon. Chelsea needs to sell him as soon as possible. I have heard that several candidates have been appearing to send an offer for lukaku. Roma must be the one of them caused by lukaku helped roma a lot.  that's also the reason of him to leave from EPL then join in the serie a. He knew serie a team can put more respect toward him. EPL club needs to consider him back again.
I have heard totenham has interest to recruit him but lukaku rejected it.

Arsenal top priority is to win the EPL title this season and even last season, however the team isn't formidable enough to win it as we all know that the team lack consistency and lack of depth in their squad, if one or two key players in the team is injured there isn't a perfect alternative to fill the gap thus the team struggle to win or even lose winnable matches, from my own point of view the team can only clinch top 4 spot the team should be reinforce with more quality players next summer to be able to win the title next season I think their third attempt to win the league would be realistic if the squad is formidable enough.

Finding the right club to utilize his abilities to the fullest is not an easy job and we don't know which club is suitable for him. He failed to give his best when he was at Chelsea and that illustrates that it is not easy to find the right club for a player with his characteristics.
I also think that Serie A is more suitable for him, he could perform well when he was with Inter Milan, and now when with AS Roma his performance did not disappoint, and we must have answers when comparing between when he was at Chelsea and now.
Indeed, one of the reasons why he failed at Chelsea was because he was injured at the time, but when he returned from injury the fact is that there was no significant change that he could show at that time. It is possible that the style of play in the Premier League does not really suit him, especially if he is not in a club that can help him well.

a team like Manchester United should not be like it is now, with a great coach and many star players they should be able to compete at least in the top 4 EFL teams, yes I agree I see Manchester players playing too individually, they play like they are not a team there is no unity like a team should,
In my opinion, Erik ten Hag is not the right coach for Manchester United, after what ETH has done so far at Manchester United, it looks like an ordinary team that has not progressed in a better direction.
Manchester United should immediately look for a coach who can truly combine their players into a cohesive team. I would like to see Manchester United when in the hands of SAF all players play the same role in the team, no player plays individually.

Chelsea has made big moves in the last transfer market but there has been no major change in his performance even though the club has spent a lot of money to bring in quality players. Yes, the performance of Chelsea is far from good, Pochettino has not been able to make Chelsea appear like Arsenal led by Arteta.
Chelsea is not the only big EPL club that has performed poorly this season, Manchester United has also had the same fate as Chelsea. Their performances are still fluctuating and these two clubs are in danger of failing to appear in European competition next season.

Most of the Injured players for Manchester United would be returning in this second half of the season and one of the includes Malacia who have been a huge part of the club from last season. Seeing this players returning means that, Sergio Regulon would not have enough chance to play no more. I love the player personally, I've always wanted his move to Manchester United but he choosed Tottenham Hotspur due to the influence of Jose Mourinho.

I can remember how well he did against Bayern Munich and it'll forever remain up in my head. I bid him good luck in the next six months ahead with Tottenham Hotspur, he's a good player and deserves more playing time he should honestly leave the club in search of a club he could have enough chance and play time.

Since Udogie Destiny is doing well for Tottenham, Hotspur, Regulon wouldn't get that chance except injury permits.

You shouldn't be scared of betting on the Blues because this team is full of hidden surprises this year, but that's not really the main issue. Pochettino shouldn't go to the transfer market this January because he already have the players to make this team become unstoppable force but something is lacking in the Chelsea team that's not getting them that craze win especially when they play against a smaller team. I have that believe that if Chelsea or rather Pochettino look for a player within the squad and make him the key man in that midfield to create chances, give killer passes just like KDB does at Manchester City, I think Chelsea are good to go. But going to spend more money again is just worthless to me, the team is fully occupied to me, so Todd should forget about spending this transfer window.
