Indeed, there is no change in the top standings but I mean, because this match is played at Liverpool's home, Liverpool should be able to take advantage and getting 3 points means Liverpool will rise to the top of the standings but here Arsenal can maintain their position by bringing one point. Liverpool have wasted opportunities in the last 2 matches with 2 draws that's lucky for Arsenal, right? if Liverpool wins these 2 matches then Arsenal will be 3 points behind but this is what happened just play a draw and the opportunity is gone.

In the next match Arsenal had another challenge against West Ham, even though Arsenal is playing at home but West Ham is on fire they could be a threat
Meanwhile, Liverpool faced an easier club Burley here Liverpool again has an opportunity to take over the standings can Liverpool do it?

Wolves is good enough. This club was able beating some strong clubs and im not really sure chelsea will be able to gether three points from wolves. Im expecting chelsea to find it so difficult to score. Chelsea's attackers are always playing like they don't know what to do.
This is the main problem owned by chelsea. Wolves is having good mid and defense but the club lack of good strikers who can score for the club. Im sure that wolves is going to use low blockls against chelsea.

I prefer to the double chance instead of picking chelsea. It's enough to see chelsea's performance was always disappointed once it was facing a low tier club. Im sure chelsea will also lose in this match too.
Chelsea needs a miracle to win against wolves even though it was not modern enough.

Liverpool and Arsenal's draw does not change their position because Aston Villa also got a draw so it does not make a change to the position at the top of the standings, but it will probably narrow the gap in points with Manchester City even though the match against Brentford seems to be postponed, but I think if they succeed winning three points will be a close gap and the competition at the top of the standings will be even tighter.

Playing at Anfield didn't make Liverpool able to win the full three points against Arsenal because Arteta was really good at strategizing so he was able to withstand every attack by Liverpool even though Arsenal were ahead and in the end made a mistake so Salah scored a goal to equalize the score. lol I regret betting on Liverpool.

United can’t even give the fans a Christmas present. Shame on the whole team. Eight losses before Christmas.lol
This team is embarrassing. United isn’t a good team. There is no style of play, no midfield, and no creativity.
Rashford is overrated, and the offense is overrated. The defense is average at best.
And it seems ETH wants to sack himself.

Aston Villa scored a late goal against Sheffield United that earned them a draw at Villa Park on Friday night. Aston Villa's next match is against Manchester United and I believe Aston Villa to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford because of the inconsistency of Manchester United this season.

Since looking at this week's match schedule, I have been optimistic to see that Aston Villa has an opponent that Unay Emery troops can handle easily rather than the big Liverpool vs Arsenal match which is sure to be tough. Instead of taking advantage of this situation Aston Villa actually underestimated Sheffield United defense and had to share the points, even though they were lucky to have a chance in the final minutes. In my opinion Aston Villa finds it easy to face Sheffield United at home where Aston Villa home record always ends with extraordinary results. However the result was surprising because the first half was not used to score a goal this is what Unay didn't realize was wasted time. After Cameron Archer opening goal in the 87th minute, Aston Villa started to play aggressively.

Aston Villa has been performing well this season. The most disappointing aspect of this match is that they were beating at Villa Park. I know Sheffield will be proud gaining 3 points from Aston Villa. I think Aston Villa should sit tight for their next coming matches to achieve victory.

At least a draw is way better than outright loss. Am referring to the match between Arsenal and Liverpool yesterday. I would like to think that Arsenal were the luckier side because they should have doubled their chances with the lead in first half. They are not known to be a defensive minded team like Westhampton or Chelsea with a reputation of such. Hence why the draw is better.

I doubt about Aston Villa's top spot dominance till the end of January. Manchester city may have more matches and enough time to work out their winning strategy even with Doku absent to injury among other players. January will usher in the transfer windows and am sure with the signing of new players to the EPL, the tide of top place contenders will change.

Its expected match result for Aston Villa with Arsenal and Liverpool failed to get three points but they can't get advantage for moving to the top position standings after get draw against Sheffield United. But not really bad for Aston Villa failed with three points last match not much problem because the rival teams Liverpool and Arsenal remaining one point on current standings position awhile. Large opportunity for Aston Villa next match will return to the top position if can win against Manchester United and hope Liverpool or Arsenal losses their three points.

Have one match left for Premier League matchday 18 between Wolves vs Chelsea, with good capital last week after winning against Sheffield United become moment for Chelsea fix their position standings and keep close with top fourth standings. Right now Chelsea remaining 14 points left from Tottenham Hotspur and not close opportunity return to the top fourth position.

That is the Premier League for you. I was not surprised to see that Aston Villa was not able to beat Sheffield United at Villa Park when people see the match as an easy match for Aston Villa based on how Aston Villa has beaten the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City this season.

It was lucky that Aston Villa managed to get at least one point, because the return goal Aston Villa scored only in the 97th minute. Although I think the refereeing in that match was not very good, because the first goal of Aston Villa could have been counted, but the referee decided otherwise.

The draw between Arsenal and Liverpool played into the hands of Aston Villa and Manchester City. Now everyone is in about the same position as they were before this round.

It's true that Manchester City's performance is not good but if it's only against a team like Brentford I don't think it's a problem I'm sure Manchester City can handle it once the match is rescheduled, Based on the schedule, Manchester City has 3 matches where they are expected to win easily and climb back into the top 4 at least before January they will be there. Our question is, will Aston Villa be there until the end of the season? Aston Villa have been playing well recently just like Newcastle last season, consistency is the main key if they want to stay in the top 4.

Oh yes, Liverpool and Arsenal only played a draw and it was an impressive match unfortunately there weren't many goals in this match even though we expected at least 3 goals. Arsenal is lucky to have managed to maintain their top position Liverpool should have been there because they were playing at home, but okay one point is not bad.

It is temporary situation for Manchester City but they only get it because of match postpone, they will come back strongly as they usually do and after winning a fifth title in 2023, they are ready to return to Premier League with their good motivation to beat clubs there.

Manchester City are still a big challenging competitor for both Arsenal and Liverpool. Other clubs that want to enter top four know that they will have to fight with each other to get only one or two positions because two positions will likely belong to two of three clubs, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Liverpool already shown that they depend too much on Mohamed Salah in this season. They have some attacking players but only Salah and Nunez can combine with each other well. Other attacking players like Diaz, Jota don't have good combinations with Salah and Nunez. Among their attacking players, only Salah has good conversion rate from chances to goals.

Well, with the postponed schedule then ya, at this moment Manchester City are in fifth position, 2 points different from Tottenham who are in fourth position now. But ya, even so I personally still believe that Manchester City will still get good results in the future and will certainly return to the top four.

But maybe, it will also be a serious consideration at this moment, because at least Manchester City have also experienced bad results in their last few matches. Therefore, Manchester City are quite far behind with the team at the top of the table at the moment. But regarding the Liverpool and Arsenal match, I was very disappointed because in fact Liverpool had a very big chance to win but Liverpool still failed.

Aston Villa played a bad match and lost their chance to take over the first position but even they get it, they will not be able to defend it for too long. A draw is a disappointed result for Aston Villa but they also must be realistic with their target in the season. Some good matches in mid of season are not enough for them to get a position in top four or to win Premier League. A best ending for them in this season is within top four which is very challenging for a club like Aston Villa. They are not actually better than Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and in a long season, anything can happen with those clubs.

Arsenal got one point and secure their first position but they were very luckily to get it. Liverpool really deserve to get three points but they are responsible for this draw, creating many opportunities but can not find a winning goal.

Manchester City's game this week against Brentford home has been postponed you know. It is due to Manchester City's playing in the FIFA Club World Cup finale two days ago of course. Hoewever the results of the most of the teams above them got this week have really helped Manchester City a lot. Tottenham won and got ahead of them maybe.

But Aston Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal all finished the week with only one point. Manchester City's performance in the FIFA Club World Cup was really amazing. But the most important thing now is to reflect this onto their Premier League games as well. We will see how good they will be about that.

Liverpool and Arsenal played  an extraordinarily entertaining game by attacking each other, even though there were several important points in this match which meant that neither of them was able to add to their goal collection. For example Arsenal are quite good in attack but in  midfield they are a little vulnerable especially Havert in my opinion he needs to be  withdrawn but Arteta didn't do that until the second half was over. Meanwhile at  Liverpool Mo Salah was dominant in the attack line Gakpo and Diaz position did not work well due to  tight marking. Nunez entry became increasingly ineffective because  in this match Nunez did not move freely on the  ball.

I only watched Highlights Man United vs West Ham because from the start this match was annoying. It turns out that it is true that Man United has suffered another humiliating defeat for the umpteenth time, their performance is getting worse. Due to the large number of injured players, Rashford and Bruno's cooperation was very poor on the front lines, Antony and Garnacho lost their way in the game. In my opinion, there is nothing special about this match, so United supporters must be more patient because this club is full of quite serious problems, the coach's inability to implement strategy is one of the main problems. Ranked 8th in the standings is a worthy place.

You want a coach like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp? They'll lost games they should have won and for your information, Erik Ten Hag has a good first season winning rate than the both names mentioned above.
They'll went through the process, brought in names they wanted and felt good would impact In the squad and propel their tactics.
Manchester United owners have got to be number one issues with Manchester United, they're dump amd should leave the club. Erik Ten Hag is a good coach. he's just been a a stubborn bald man and his decisions that goes wrong.

Learning from the past, too many coaches have been sacked for these players who have not Manchester United DNA in em. Sacking Erik Ten Hag is a not the right way. Even as important as Sterling was for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City he was sold off, why not do same with some of them players in Manchester United?

This round had all the conditions created for Aston Villa to top the table, but perhaps they were just scared of becoming leaders (I'm just kidding). Due to the fact that Liverpool played a draw with Arsenal, this loss of points did not become catastrophic for Aston Villa, there is only one point between them and Arsnal, so the whole fight is still ahead. It is surprising how Aston Villa beat Arsenal and City, but are unable to beat the last team in the championship.

I have stated previously that Liverpool cannot defeat Arsenal this season. Arsenal's play both last season and this season has led me to believe that major teams in the Premier League are powerless against Arsenal because they have a strong midfield player in BF, all of their positions are filled, and they are not a team that gives up easily. Many people believe that Liverpool can defeat Arsenal because they have been playing well and don't check to see if Arsenal also has good players.

Both teams scored early in the game Arsenal at 4 minutes and Liverpool at 29 minutes which indicates that they are both capable of winning. This also shows that both teams are in good form, despite the fact that some people don't believe it because everyone has seen it for themselves. Despite Liverpool's numerous missed opportunities, the game ended in a draw.
