It looks like Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to dominate this season if no other team can be as consistent as them until the end of the season. Because the two teams now look increasingly fierce in terms of competition, there will be quite a tough and thrilling match this week at Liverpool's home ground. The Liverpool vs Arsenal match this week looks like it will be difficult to predict because both of them will definitely use their respective abilities to be in first place after the match is over. Meanwhile for Manchester City, it looks like they have to make several changes in order to restore their true performance this season.
Let's see how far these two teams go when playing their matches, especially in this competition. honestly, I don't dare to speculate too far. the reason is, there are still a lot of matches left. in the second half of the season, every team, especially the top teams, will appear more serious in every match they play. likewise with the Premier League champions, it is reported that City's top midfielder is recovering from injury. it is not impossible for Pep Guardiola's squad to reduce the difference in points or even shift the teams above their ranking. although, Pep and his troops will need time and hard work for that.
I am increasingly optimistic about Manchester City if their best midfielder returns. However, perhaps Manchester City will not have a significant impact from De Bruyne's return because basically players who have been absent for a long time due to injury usually find it difficult to return to their peak performance quickly. De Bruyne is an important player so his presence will provide great motivation for other players to give their best throughout the match.
Well, talking about the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, this match will be an exciting match. remember, both teams will appear with an offensive system pattern. as a supporter of the Gunners, of course I support my favorite team in this battle. unfortunately, it won't be easy for Arsenal to beat Liverpool, especially since the match will be held at Anfield. but at least, I hope both teams show their best game. referring to temporary odds, it seems that bookmakers don't really make a difference. although, it seems Liverpool is the favorite. this match still has a time lag in the next few days, so I think there is still plenty of time to search and dig up new information for these two teams and determine betting options. so, let's just wait.
I hope Liverpool and Arsenal both draw in this match, this will make Aston Villa and Manchester City close the gap in points between the two. Aston Villa will stay at the top of the standings for longer if Arsenal and Liverpool draw, especially if Aston Villa wins the game against Sheffield, while Manchester City only reduces the points gap to 2.
You're right, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. But I hope the scenario above really happens in the next match. Manchester City must beat Brentford, they have no reason to lose more points after only winning 6 points from their last 5 matches.
