Fulham also surprised us somehow they beat West Ham with 5 goals even more surprising West Ham was unable to score a single goal even though they usually always score in every match, we know that West Ham also has a match in the European League this week but they are already in a safe position or they really want to maintain a position as a group winner and avoid the play-off round? maybe this is the only reason that makes sense to prepare for physical conditions.
No one thought that Fulham would be able to easily beat West Ham even with landslide score of 5 goals without reply, this was big win for Fulham because West Ham was also not weak team but they managed to beat them.
But it is possible that this defeat happened because West Ham wanted to focus more on the Europa League to face Freiburg in their deciding match, because losing to Freiburg means having to enter the play-off round and of course it could be more difficult.
Several team experience or do the same thing, where when they participate in competitions that can be dominated or have the opportunity to achieve big achievements, the Domestic League is definitely not prioritized with the aim of performance and avoiding injured players.

We know Pep Guardiola to becomes very competitive coach that doesn't give room for anyone to give excuses. Luton Town gave the citizens hard-time today, defensive in all angles Manchester City could possibly put the ball through but atlast, they were able to record a comeback and grab Ed three solid points from Luton Town. If Manchester City continue like this, it will not be easy because there are more competitive contenders for the EPL title and Manchester City will turn out to become another club on the othe end that's struggling to earn points.
Still, Manchester City in favorite when faced with Luton, but speaking of which, in this match, Luton performed quite well because they were able to pressure all the Manchester City players and were able to get one goal even though they lost with two goals scored by Silva and Grealish.
But Pep has to work harder because currently Manchester City is quite far behind Arsenal who are at the top of the standings and they must be able to improve this and immediately move up from the fourth position in the standings that they currently occupy.
