The gap between Manchester City and the top of the Premier League table is getting bigger and bigger which means they are getting far from winning the Premier League title and this put Guardiola under more pressure since Manchester City couldn't get good results as they usually got before. Maybe we can't blame Guadiola for anything because Manchester City had to give him some more players as they got in Arsenal and the other similar teams but sadly couldn't spend money like many other teams and they were usually just losing the players.
Even in the game against Liverpool, Manchester City lost the game with a 2-0 result which means Slot is performing much better than Guardiola in Manchester City.

I don't think the gap between Manchester City to the top of the Premier League standing is getting any bigger. With Liverpool recent draw and City’s victory that broke their losing 5 game losing streak, the points separating them reduced to 7 points and I don’t think 7 points is such a big gap. I am very sure with the quality of players available at Manchester City and the quality of coach they have, I am confident City can be able to mount a significant pressure on Liverpool and win the league this season.

The gap between Liverpool and Manchester City is 9 points not 7 and Manchester City reclaiming back the top spot is only possible if the performance of Liverpool keeps reducing and they drop 9 points which is losing 3 matches that's when we can see Manchester City having the opportunity of winning the league title again this season. Manchester City has a good manager be their squad is very strong but you will not fail to recognize the presence of the Liverpool Manager and the form of Liverpool this season which makes it clear that they are the favorite to win the league this season regardless of what Manchester City will do as they are bouncing back to playing well again. I think Pep Guardiola will manage to finish as runners up in the league this season but I don't see them finishing ahead of Liverpool and winning the league title again this season.

I find it very difficult to predict which team will win this match. Tottenham is a team that has a strong attack. Despite having a strong attack, Tottenham's performance is inconsistent. Tottenham has won 6 matches this season and lost 5 matches. On the other hand, we all know that Bournemouth is not a very strong team. Bournemouth is in 13th place in the points table. However, Bournemouth has won against Arsenal and City this season. That is why most of the gamblers are betting on Bournemouth to win today's match. However, my prediction for this match is that the match will be a 1-1 draw.

The temporary score is 1-0 where Bournemouth is leading for the time being. The match has entered the 80th minute and if Tottenham cannot use the remaining time to play more aggressively in attack then they will lose today's match. I think Postecoglou underestimated the opponent he faced because he changed the strategy in this match and that was the mistake he made.

If you look at the game statistics, of course Tottenham was able to control the course of the match. They also made many good attacks but none of them were able to finish into goals. If you look at the temporary standings table, of course Tottenham's performance this season is still unstable and relatively declining compared to the previous season because up to the 14th match Tottenham was still stuck in 10th place.

Mo Salah may deserve a contract for how he has been playing this season, but that doesn't mean that we are going to get that without much issues, we shouldn't really consider that as a good deal because if you pay him a lot due to this season and he ends up not playing great next season, that may cause concern, plus I am pretty sure that he is asking for a multi-year contract, and his starting talking point could be three seasons, and three seasons would be way too much, he could be a lot worse by the end of the contract.

In any case, with the way things are going, to keep the team chemistry going, they could just sign him, and if he gets any worse, they could try to get him to a Saudi team later on, that could still work. I feel like it is going to be a tough decision for them, but Salah has been performing at the top of his game, and you do not end up selling a player or not even that, just not sign him back, when he is performing like this.

Seeing Arsenal getting all their goals via corner kick is something others should take more of, literally they have been referred to as the best set piece team in the premier League. In the first half Manchester United was brilliant but sadly in the second half they couldn't get a good attempt at Arsenal, it became almost one sided, and the history continues of Manchester United not been able to win Arsenal in the past years.

Arsenal’s ability to execute set pieces and convert them into goals makes them standout in the league and have also earned them the reputation as the best set piece team in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta does not care about entertaining football, he’s found a cheat code in corners and be rest assured he’s going to take advantage of it to win. Manchester United played a good game but Arsenal were just too good at set prices. It is hard to defend against Arsenal’s corner routine. I think Manchester United players lost their confidence and stopped pressing after they conceded the first goal. I don’t think Manchester United fans should be unhappy about the results, they should focus on how well their team performed and trust in the work Amorim is doing in the club.

The interesting thing about Manchester City is that they are still amongst top three even with all of the loosing streak and set backs. Guadiola isn't to be really blamed but will be blamed at some point because he's the head coach and tactical he's the one who tells the players what to do hence when they begin to suffer set backs like this, he's got a big part to blame.

Luckily Manchester City have collected many points in the previous match, so the 4 consecutive defeats they experienced did not make them drop to the middle of the standings. Man City remains at the top of the standings, but of course with the points that continue to lag far behind the leader of the standings, namely Liverpool, it will be quite difficult for Man City to reclaim the top position in the standings.

although in the previous match Man City had to lose to Liverpool, but in yesterday's match against Nottingham Forest, which previously they were able to beat Liverpool, but in yesterday's match Man City performed quite well and Nottingham Forest had to admit defeat with a landslide score at the hands of Man City. And I hope that the good performance shown yesterday against Nottingham Forest, [this kind of performance can last for several matches to come.

Arne Slot definitely managed to find that perfect strategy for the team, they were already pretty decent with Klopp of course and they had this chemistry that kept them near the top aside from maybe a few seasons, they won EPL and UCL with Klopp so they did alright, but Arne came over and found something that was missing, not sure what it was but they did and when they did that it was definitely a shocker to many people because nobody expected them to be this good.

At this point, while I know there are many games left, I still think that we might see them do fairly well, and win this whole thing. I know that we have a lot of games left, we have still many months until the season ends and everything could change by that time, but unless there is a big injury to some of the most important players, I can't see how Liverpool could get worse, even with fatigue, they are still the best team right now. They would have to go through something like City just did, fail to win for 6-7 games, otherwise I doubt they will do badly.

Arne Slot inherited a mature squad from Jurgen Klopp, with a different approach and strategy, his polished Liverpool appeared more aggressive and promising in every match. So far, Arne Slot has been quite lucky because his squad has not been hit by a significant storm of injuries. Almost all teams participating in European competitions will face a tight match schedule, and Liverpool only need to ensure they perform consistently to continue to advance in the path of winning trophies. Their chances of winning trophies are equally big at this time, both in the Premier League and in the Champions League.

Everything can still change quickly, but I don't think Liverpool will lose their consistency in the future. Liverpool success in leading the top standings at this time cannot be separated from their very solid defense line, in 14 matches they have only conceded 11 goals in the Premier League, and 1 goal in the Champions League. Their front line is also very productive, and in general Liverpool this season has all the attributes needed to achieve success in every competition they participate in. Manchester City dip in form has provided some relief for Arne Slot.

Up to today I’m still surprise the way Chelsea performs has been moving well all this while compared to their last season performances

Yes, you are right. Chelsea’s performance this season under their Enzo Maresca has been pretty good. They have started scoring highly in both their domestic league and in the conference league too. Their current position is a testament of the good progress Enzo Maresca has brought to the club. Some of their fans are even hopeful that they might win the league this season. I believe Maresca will be able to guide them them to next season’s Champions League competition.

Bookmakers may have picked Bournemouth as the favourites for today’s game but I don’t think it’s smart to neglect Tottenham Hotspur a team that won Manchester City this season. Inasmuch as Bournemouth odds to win is relatively smaller to Tottenham's odds, I don't think they have the quality of players and the squad depth to be able to win Tottenham. In my opinion Tottenham Hotspur will surely win this match. Irrespective of the odds.

It’s surprising I must say. I think Bournemouth having to beat Wolves by 2:4 and the fact that they would be playing from home against Tottenham has something to do with this peculiarity of being the favored ones. Still, I’ll like to entertain the idea of a 2.2 Bournemouth odd against Tottenham’s 2.9 odd is an attempt to sway gamblers from taking a bet on Tottenham. It’s a common trick but in games like this, if you can’t decide in a win market, the goal market over 2.5 or both team score is a favorable option.

I find it very difficult to predict which team will win this match. Tottenham is a team that has a strong attack. Despite having a strong attack, Tottenham's performance is inconsistent.

Well, ro be honest this is what I have always wanted the Premier League table to look like. Manchester City has enjoyed being the premier league title winner for a while now, its time for another team to beat their chest and make a right move with determination. If Liverpool keeps up with this form, they'll definitely win the title. Currently there are still chances of them not wining if their performance reduces and another team takes it upon their self. Chelsea is also passionate about wining the title their recent performance shows it all. I believe Manchester City would qualify for champions league but wining the EPL title is i no for me.

I considered Brighton as the favorite. And I bet on Brighton to win this match. But it seems I was wrong. Brighton failed to win against Southampton in the last match. The match was drawn 1-1. However, Brighton won against Bournemouth and Manchester City in the previous two matches.

Today's match is very important for Brighton. If they win today's match, Brighton might be able to stay in the top four of the points table. But if they lose this match, Brighton's chances of qualifying for the Champions League will gradually decrease. We can see Brighton's irregular performance in the last few matches. Brighton conceded a goal in just 4 minutes of the match against Fulham. Fulham took the lead in the fourth minute of the match through Alex Iwobi's goal.

It is not surprising that Brighton lost points in today's match. However, I think this match will be a draw. Brighton has not been able to equalize the match even after 40 minutes. The first half is most likely to end 1-0.

Fulham is very tactical in today's match. Fulham has been able to take the lead in just 4 minutes. Fulham has taken the lead with a goal from midfielder Iwobi. After leading 1-0, Fulham is trying to keep their defense strong. Despite several strong attacks, Brighton has not been able to break FULHAM's defense. Brighton's players have been able to make 9 shots in 40 minutes. After conceding a goal, Brighton is playing completely in an attacking strategy.

Bournemouth are the favorites for today's game. Why are Tottenham winning odds so high? Tottenham are having an inconsistent season but Bournemouth are not better than them. They haven't won two games in a row this season and I find the odds interesting. I see 1.98 odds for Bournemouth win and 2.53 odds for Tottenham win. I think Tottenham will win this game and get back into the top 5 again.

I know that Bournemouth are in better form currently, but still, I don't see Bournemouth as the favorite team to win the game. Tottenham are not playing poorly either; they are also in form. However, the truth is that they are not consistent. Tottenham can be predictable, but as for today's match, I see Tottenham as the favorite team to win based on my point of view.but let's see what will happen because, in this kind of game, a draw is what do likely to happen. So, I will be expecting Tottenham to either win or draw the match because they have a better squad than Bournemouth. Tonight's match is not going to be easy for either team.

Manchester United vs Arsenal will face each other today, there is a big difference in the betting odds between these two teams. Although Arsenal is more likely to win this match, if Man United can strengthen their game, then it will be a tough fight between the two teams. We have seen that Manchester United has improved their game a lot compared to before, in that case, if they can use new strategies, the match against Arsenal will be more interesting. If Amorin can win Man United today, then he will definitely become more admirable, in that case he will have to play a good role today. If Manchester United attacks strongly against Arsenal, then they can hope to win, although this match should not be given so much certainty. However, since we are waiting to see a surprise between these two teams, although Arsenal is not going through such a good performance at the moment, in that case, Manchester United will have hope. And if MU can beat Arsenal in today's match, their position will change a lot, so the MU team will have to play strongly in today's match.

Man United football team could not play well in this match and match was totally one sided and Arsenal team did 2 goals in this match and Manchester United team could not do any goal in this match. That was match of Premier League and I am impressed by performance of Arsenal players. Arsenal team is present at the top of table because that team won most of the matches and it deserves that position . That team has 28 points and Chelsea team also have same points. Timber did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 54 minutes of the match and one more player did goal in this match and that was Saliba and he did goal at 73 minutes and made match totally one sided.The Man United team have to di more struggle to get higher rank on the table.

Liverpool is topping the league, they have 7 points gap, which is considerably safe enough. They missed full points from Newcastle's game, yet they have easy fixtures to come soon.

Having 7 points gap is enough to win the title as long as they can keep balling till the end of season. It's hard, but nothing is impossible if they can put in more effort in order to reach their target.

THey're now the title contender. They have to work harder than before consider this season is gonna be a very long. The problem may be happening at the mid - late season when their players start to exhaust.

I don't if you have realised this about Liverpool that they can start high, maintain the position for long and still end up not being the champion. Regardless that they are working hard and have worked hard to achieve this position, 7 point is not too big for other teams to achieve before the end of league.

I'm not still convinced even with the 7 point that they can hold the last man standing till premier League is over.

Indeed, in the EPL league, every season is always full of surprises, like previous seasons when Arsenal who were solid at the top of the standings finally lost many points and finally Man City became champions at the end of the season. This will be the same if Liverpool does not maintain their consistency, especially since the match is still very long, the half of the season has not passed so Liverpool's struggle is still very long.

However, Liverpool this season is very similar to the 2019-20 season, their squad is really solid in all lines, they were even able to beat Man City and Real Madrid, of course this is a good capital to win the championship this season because of their high self-confidence. Arne Slot must be smart in maintaining the fitness of his players so that they do not get injured because what can prevent Liverpool from winning the title this season is if there are injured players, especially mainstay players.

Looking at the results of today's games, I think I'm very satisfied with the the outcome. I don't think there's any big surprise here except in the Newcastle vs Liverpool thriller which ended in stalemate. Which of the fixtures were you more interested in and did the result correspond with your predictions? Let me read your takes

I did not expect Everton to win with such a scoreline, they are not stable and having mixed performance this season. Seeing them win with such a high scoreline was very surprising. Also the match between Newcastle vs Liverpool was a match I didn't expect to see a draw because Liverpool are in good form and their recent results in the Premier League and Champions League should have given them an edge against a Newcastle side that have have been inconsistent this season. Asides that, I think the other results were not so surprising.

We know that WOlves are in very bad form. Even then, none of us thought that Everton would be able to win the match by a big margin of 4-0. Because Everton's performance has also been very weak this season. We have not seen Everton win by a big margin in any match this season. Everton players have only managed to score 10 goals in 13 matches. And Everton players scored 4 goals against Wolves.

For a long time, we have been seeing Liverpool's great performance. Liverpool's performance in both the Champions League and the Premier League is very strong. Even then, Liverpool lost points against Newcastle. But we have to admit that Newcastle players performed well against Liverpool. And Newcastle deserved the points in this match.

Manchester city win was expected but Liverpool coming back twice against Newcastle and still drop 2 points was least expected I think Konate absent was felt in they game, Van Dijk couldn't do it alone. Next game is against Everton.

I never expected Manchester City to win, we all have seen how Manchester City has been performing poorly lately, and they do perform poorly even when playing against weak teams, and we can see that Nottingham Forest's performance hasn’t been so poor this season, so I expected the match to be difficult for Manchester City, I expected a draw or Manchester City to lose in the match, but they were able to secure three goals in the match.

De Bruyne is back fully, and he surprised everyone in their match yesterday, he was able to get a goal in the match, and he was able to get an assist. De Bruyne's absence really affected Manchester City's performance, but he is back at the club, and I am expecting improvement in Manchester City’s performance.

Surprisingly,

Manchester City win a big margin against Nottingham Forrest.

Liverpool can't beat Newcastle.

However as expected Manchester United lose against Arsenal, another stupid rotation and strategy by Amorim. Mount is already a finished player, Garnacho isn't a creative player, Bruno should back to his main position.

Manchester city win was expected but Liverpool coming back twice against Newcastle and still drop 2 points was least expected I think Konate absent was felt in they game, Van Dijk couldn't do it alone. Next game is against Everton.

Can't Amorim can't blame for giving Mount a good start but the players letting Arsenal ride on them with corner kicks like that was crazy.

Regardless of Mount playing against Arsenal or not the gunners are the better side and the odds favor them to win before kickoff thus history had repeated itself again because it's been long Man Utd recorded a win against Arsenal, with regard to Newcastle vs Liverpool match it was Gomez that paired Van Dijk at their centre back that mean he replaced Konate unfortunately he wasn't at his best because of the attacking force of Newcastle spearheaded by Isak who was always a threat at the front for Liverpool, congratulations to Man City for a well deserve win against Nothingham Forest after enduring s streak of losses.
