Manchester City also failed to get 3 points against Crystal Palace. City drew the match 2-2. This result was unexpected for me. Crystal Palace is a relatively weak team. It was not expected that Manchester City would drop points against this team. Manchester City completely dominated today's match. Even then they can't win. City's players had 75% of the ball possession, as well as attacking a lot. However, Manchester City cannot keep their defense strong in today's match. Crystal palace managed to score 2 goals despite not attacking much. Crystal palace players made a total of 5 shots in today's match. Crystal palace is very lucky. They managed to share the points with City in away matches.

A major problem that Manchester City is suffering this season is the lack of defensive coherence between their defensive players and it often results in them conceding goals. Manchester City dropping points in this game goes the way of people who do not expect Manchester City to be able to keep their victory over the premier league again this season, they are barely hanging on to the top four, and if do not get their act right may be pushed even further down the premier league table.

My heart goes out to Luton Captain Tom Lockyer who collapsed during the game and forced the game to an emergency stop, I hope he recovers fully.

Truthfully city have doubled their lead, obviously this will reduce the seemingly pressure Crystal palace have enjoyed before, Manchester city will now go ahead in demystifying Crystal palace and reduce their pressure entirely, because at this point Manchester city are even likely to score more goals because that's their trademark whenever they get to this point sometimes in a game.

Manchester City may not even see Crystal Palace as a threat today because other things being equal, City is supposed to take the 3 points without much stress. Since it is football, you have to physically work for any point hence, Manchester will deploy all their tactics to secure the win to close in on the major contender, Arsenal. At the moment, the match is still very dicey because one more goal from Crystal Palace will make the match end in a 2-2 draw that will see City still lagging behind the Guners.

Just what I suspected and raised the alarm. The normal Mancity side would have scored more goals instead of conceding and equalizer from Crystal Palace. Should we say fate has destined Arsenal to win the league? Nobody know for a certainty but it is obvious something us fundamentally wrong with the City team this season.

There is a hypothesis that their anytime their coach Pep Guardiola wants to leave a team, the team will start giving funny results just like City is doing now. Even though we don't have enough data to prove this, Barcelona is a good example. He has paid his dues at Manchester City, helping them to win the champions league after many years of failure.

I'm even surprised myself because after when Manchester City scored that second goal, i was actually thinking it was game over, as I thought Manchester City will go ahead to score more goals, however the game Crystal palace were playing anyone could easily suspect that they might come back because they were playing a counter attack pattern right from first half. But making this game 2-2 was really commendable, crystal palace defended and made good effort to fight back till the end of the game, that's why football is one beautiful game, because it's full of surprises.

I'm not surprised at all, after their second goal, they slowed down the pressure which gave crystal palace the opportunity to maximize their counter attacking mode of play. I saw that draw coming from the time crystal palace scored the first goal, like was expecting the second one. Haaland was greatly missed in this match. Alvarez failed to be a good pair to Foden. I would've even preferred Foden played front while Alvarez supported from behind him. Foden has better finishing ability from any angle then Alvarez. Manchester city has maintained their 4th position, their next match determines if they drop to 5th if they fail to win. Kudos to crystal Palace, their hard work payed off. They really did well today.

The match between Luton Town versus Bournemouth was postponed, due to captain Tom Lockyer collapsing after 59 minutes of the match. So far there is no certainty regarding the player situation, there is only news that the club will continue to monitor his developments. On the other hand, there is no certainty when this match will continue, we will look at the schedule again.

That coach is short sighed in my own analogy, he has so much faith in that Jackson guy and such unnecessary confidence has blinded him to the fact that Jackson slow down attack unnecessarily, sterling didn't perform optimally today quite alright, but Jackson is very weak to be played alone upfront. The coach has his reasons though, but for me, its not paying off. I can't wait for Nkunku to play upfront with Broja supporting him, the result will be tremendous because both has the power and Nkunku has a good finishing capacity. It will bring a big boost to their attack.

Mauricio Pochettino will ensure his side sign promising players in January transfer window, good display from the blues and they will aim to achieving more good points. Chelsea managed to win Sheffield United who's clearly not in good shape this season. Watching the game, I could spot out Chelsea weakness and this absolutely disturbing and ruining their chances of goal scoring. Jackson doesn't contribute anything to the Blues frontline but he still manage to scout out good chances of winning and prepare them for upcoming matches.

That sucks, i have my bet on city and it was making my multi gets collapse. City was playing so badly and the defensive line needs regeneration for sure. Manchester city was always conceding a lot of goals this time.
It's really unacceptable to see manchester city was performing so poorly in the defensive line unlike palace. Palace is doing massive improvement and i thought that city was winning the game but i was wrong.
City loses another points and that's really bad yo hear that. My multi was gone and im really disappointed with the result from manchester city. Im sure that many poeple are also getting their bet collapse too.

Placing a bet on Manchester City to win is not more profitable in my opinion because bookmakers always underestimate any team City is playing especially the average teams, they do give City small odds that that are not profitable and might cut a long ticket, that is why I always bet them to score more than one goal or the entire match to have over 2.5 goals.

Today is a very sad day for Manchester City fans, they trew away three points in the space of fifteen minutes; Palace score two goals within the space of 15-20 minutes and to secure them one point at Etihad stadium. City could have been ahead of Arsenal with goal difference if they have won the match but unfortunately, they are still two points behind Arsenal and one point behind Villa, if the all win their respective matches, they will be five to six points ahead if Manchester City.

Glad to see that chelsea was winning the game and jackson was scoring through a very simple tap. Broja would make it to be three nil if he was not even missing a very simple tao too.
Chelsea is gooking in the game unlike manchester city. City's performance has been decreasing a lot.

Chelsea played very well today, they got an important three points because they will be facing Wolves in their next Premier League match which will be very difficult for them due to their inconsistency. But I am hoping they can win the match as well to keep moving up because they deserve to be in top five by now.

Manchester City have drawn the match against Crystal Palace who are currently in a very poor position in the Premier League. Where every team plays well enough to win the match at their own ground and they win the match at their home ground. But Manchester City shared the points with a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace today. But in today's match everyone guessed that Manchester City has a chance to win by a huge margin but unfortunately they didn't win the match. Crystal Palace played superbly at Manchester City ground today which saw them beat a strong team like Manchester City their attack was outstanding today. Although Manchester City went to the first half of the game and had a chance to win, but after paying a goal in the 76th minute, the game was filled with more attacks.
When Crystal Palace equalized with another goal in the 90+5 minutes, the match became a draw and the points were shared between the two teams. Today's match was truly remarkable.

It was very, very unexpected that Man City lost points again by drawing, regardless of the way the match went, I think they were just unlucky. In the last five matches, Pep Guardiola squad has only been able to achieve one win, a situation that puts them in big doubt. What I mean is that there will be a lot of people reacting and questioning their strength this season, regarding defending the title and getting it back.

For Liverpool and Arsenal losing points to Man City means a golden opportunity for them, because they can continue their steps towards topping the EPL standings. Of course they have to beat their respective opponents, but in this case the Reds have a little difficulty because they have to beat Man United. So far City have lost 17 points, with details of 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Pep is certainly not happy with this draw, and City only weakness is lack of luck in the form of 2 points. Apart from that, they played quite well, and dictated the course of the match according to their wishes, Crystal Palace was a lucky team because they avoided defeat and made most people bets lose.

Chelsea has now woken up out of their slumber this second half with an account opening goal from Palmer and a second goal from Jackson, and despite Jackson getting scoring the 2nd goal, If I were to be the coach I would substitute Jackson and Raheem sterling in this second half both guys has been too slow with the ball and their finishing is very poor. I saw Nkunku warming up and he seem ready to play after coming back from injury, I hope he gets featured in this game.

What a surprising turn of events but I must say I'm not surprised because it's not a new thing for small teams to prove a difficult bone to chew for big clubs but many expected that this game will be a work over for Man City especially as they haven't been impressive in previous games. This is this time they are drawing at home and as expected, Pep will be wondering what he didn't do right. It's an especially embarrassing game for the home fans as they were having the lead down from the first half but goals from Mateta and Oliseh changed the narrative for Crystal Palace.
Roy Hudson's side have managed to take a much needed one point from Pep's men to push them to 15th place and even though it's not three points, it's better than a loss that they would have suffered.

I don't know if Lisandro Martinez would be fit enough to return for this intensed game tommorow, maybe not it would be Rapheal Varane and Luke Shaw. Don't also expect too much from Manchester United and the players. The mentality of the players all reduced right now. Liverpool players also have been tested ahead of this game. What I'm certain if is that they won't beat Manchester United with anything more three goals to nil.

Erik Ten Hag hasn't gotten his tactics right in a couple few games, I would love to see if he can continue his away form again against Liverpool. I don't really like how the defenders shaped against Bayern Munich.

I hope he gets fired. he has not brought in any improvement honestly. The only thing he has been able to do is give the Manchester United fans hope. False Hope I should say. Because none of the promises that he has actually made are actually done by him. At this point I feel like he is literally scamming Manchester United. He kicked out a lot of really good players and he kept the players who can actually make his ego boost. I don't know what he says in some certain players, I hope people understand which players I'm talking about, but it seems like whatever happens he is going to keep them in the club.

I mean he did finish the season pretty well last season? I am not saying that they are suddenly an amazing team but when you have one bad season (half over) and one great season, it's hard to fire a manager. I am not saying they should not fire him, but it's not an easy decision to make. You look at this season and you hope that you can get someone better, but you look at last season and you doubt if they could get anyone better.

I believe that they should not fire him until the end of the season, just keep him doing whatever he can for as long as he can, in the end they will manage to make it as far as they possibly could with him. By the end of the season, if he is not good enough then you can fire him early June and start looking for someone else.

There's no atom of creativity in the forward and many chances wasted before being able to secure a goal is not a good signal at all. With the presence of Nkuku in the squad after a long absence due to injury will perhaps make some difference. We still have a long way to go for this season and it is too early to make some judgment now.

Even though Chelsea wasted many opportunities in the end they were able to win. In this match, Chelsea appeared dominant to beat Sheffield United with a convincing score of 2-0. This is good for Chelsea because they are approaching this match with a bad trend after only winning once in the last five matches, including losing the last two matches.

In this match, Chelsea also attacked from the start but the two teams were evenly matched with no goals throughout the first half. It was during the second half that Chelsea were able to lock in the points after goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, which determined victory in this match. It's true, Chelsea wasted too many opportunities even though they had completely controlled the course of this match.

Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

Chelsea's opponent is a team at the bottom of the standings. I hope they can be more aggressive, not just satisfied with the current 2 score lead. they had very few chances even against the team that conceded the most goals this season.
Chelsea is facing serious problems with their team's performance. Who knows what's wrong with Pochettino's strategy, Chelsea is very inconsistent in their game. and that was a serious problem for him, otherwise maybe they would replace a new coach.

Chelsea's ability to win Shelfield United shouldn't be a crown to their head. I will not count their win as something serious, rather than they have made 3 points from the match. Chelsea next meeting will be against Newcastle United in EFL cup, maybe it is there we will determine the consistency of Chelsea

Palmer who is Manchester city old man is doing well in Chelsea FC as he is highly involved in the 2 goals scored against Shelfield United this afternoon.

That's right, the attack line must be the main concern because too many opportunities are wasted so should Chelsea bring in more new players in the next transfer window? or Mauricio Pochettino can implement the right strategy? even though Chelsea has a complete squad, unfortunately there is no perfect collaboration yet. Today will be home team day because almost all home teams wins Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle while Bournemouth only drew but it wasn't bad at least they didn't lose. Next Burnley v Everton, Everton's side looks more confident after winning 3 matches in a row but Burnley played at home, of course they didn't just stay quiet.

Newcastle are back in form today I'm as much as they didn't play well in the first half the compensated that by going all out in the second half. Manchester city continue there winning ways today and now they have shifted the pressure to Arsenal and Liverpool.
I think Arsenal has a good chance to top the English premier league going into the Xmas period and probably into the new year.

To Be Or Not To Be

Anyone here bet on Bournemouth vs Lutton?

I think this is the first time I watch (live) match suspended because of there is an injured player.
Lutton capt Tom lockyer collapse in the pitch, and I heard the commentator said that this is not the first time he collapses in the field because of Atrial fibrillation, a condition that can cause an irregular or abnormally fast heart rate.

If the player has a serious problem with his health why the Premier league still allowed him to play?
