It's half-time already with Man City losing to Luton with 1 goal to nill, which is one thing I least expected due to the fact that Man City lost it's last match to Aston Villa, drew its last 2 match to Tottenham, and today expected them to be more proactive to play a very good decent game to secure today's 3 points, but it works the reverse is trying to be the case, which I'm not comfortable with, as this is likely to make them fall from 4th to 5th on the table to Tottenham.

So does it mean Man City is also going to lose today's game?



In the end, Manchester City came out  victorious. Manchester City lost points  in four consecutive  matches. And even after the win in this match, Manchester City team is at the fourth place in the table. Manchester City is  4 points behind Liverpool at  the top of the table.
Luton Town were a relatively weak team. However  it was not easy for Manchester  City to win this match. At the end of the first half, the Manchester City team was behind 1-0. Luton Town played completely defensively in the second half. They did not attempt any attack. However, due to the goals of Silva in the 62nd minute and Grealish in the 65th minute, the Manchester City team was able to win the match 2-1. City desperately needed this win after dropping points in a row. This will increase the confidence of the players.

Chelsea is very unlucky today, just when I was thinking they are now getting better and will be able to perform well in their subsequent games but it turned out they are yet to be stable, they just keep drawing and loosing, watching today's game I could see that Chelsea isn't looking like they will be able to contend for the league title this season.

Chelsea keep playing from the left wing alone althrough the second half of the game, they were just concentrating there and it became obvious Everton noticed and kept a strong defensive line around there meanwhile the right wing was so free and most of the Chelsea player's were just too dull and weren't creative at all they seem to be waiting for the ball to get to them and not going for the ball, Everton used their home advantage well enough and they are able to secure the points by the end of the games.

It's gradually getting me worried that Reece James is all of the time not fit in many games he had played for the blues since he arrived. He has missed many game due to injuries and it's affecting his form in Chelsea, if he has to be in his best then he has to be physically fit for the competition, not going in and out.

Unfortunately Doucoure has put Everton on the lead with a 1 goal in this game in the 54 minutes of play and Chelsea are not responding as a team that wants an equalizer, it's the usual Chelsea inconsistent,  weak playing pattern that doesn't give expected results. It's pathetic that a team with big tag price players are playing this badly.
How could Everton disrespect a club as big as Chelsea, humiliating this expensive squad 2-0 without reply. I can't help thinking that clubs that spend large budgets in the transfer window do not perform according to expectations, and are even very far from expectations. Meanwhile, Everton showed a better mentality, and they did not seem to be affected at all by the points deduction.

Everton efforts to stay away from the degradation zone are paying off, and they deserve 3 points this time. James still has fitness problems, he has not yet reached the standards expected by Pochettino, but there is no choice for the coach considering he is the captain of The Blues.

After being humiliated by United, Everton got up and beat Newcastle and most recently Chelsea. Even though they had minimal possession of the ball with only 28% control, Sean Dyche squad was able to play effectively and make The Blues bend their knees to them.

As the defending champion, Manchester City will continue to try to get out of the bad results achieved in the last few matches in order to maintain the opportunity to regain first place. The match has entered the last 10 minutes, the score is still 1-2 in favor of Manchester City, it looks like the three points will belong to Manchester City in this match, this result is very good for them.
Manchester City needs these three points badly from Luton Town to get closer from Liverpool which is topping the list with 37 points. Manchester City, assuming they will win today's match, will be 4 points away from them which is still far from receiving in a single round. The bad results made Manchester City in a bad position, just like gunners which lost the first position.
In this match, Luton Town scored first then Manchester City was able to score two goals in three minutes. Extra time has started and hopefully they will not take a surprising goal.

It is a bad result for Chelsea today and unlike Arsenal who also lost yesterday, Manchester city seemed to have been able to secure the very important three points they needed to bridge the gap between the top table holder and themselves.
Am also surprised with the result from Westham united for having to loose all three points to fulham. Could it be due to fatigue or because of oncoming UCL matches that these clubs are losing?
I sure lost my predictions today, still am looking forward to Newcastle beating Tottenham Hotspur shortly.

Well, the thing is right now Manchester City should not be happy about anything. They should be angry and determined to do better in their upcoming matches in the English Premier League. Because honestly, they have not performed well in the English Premier League in recent times. And if they do not improve their performance very quickly, they will fall off too much to recover. And remember they are the defending champions. So they will have to perform really well to retain the championship title of the English Premier League. Maybe that's why people are actually so much mad at them.
Manchester City must be more aggressive in planning attacks and closing the gaps in defense so that Luton Town players do not break into their goal for the second time in this match. Victory must be achieved in order to reduce the points deficit with the teams above them in the standings list. Julian Alvarez managed to change the score to 1-1 and an additional goal from Jack Grealish allowed Manchester City to beat the home team. This goal opened up hopes for Manchester City to make a comeback and win in this game.

Luton played very well in the first half. Their defense is quite solid where they always stick tight when Man City players control the ball, therefore it is quite difficult for Man City to carry out attacks and create opportunities. Luton realizes that they are outmatched to Man City, for this reason, they choose to play defensive football and attempt to counterattack. It seems that this strategy is quite effective, where Luton managed to score 1 goal through a counter attack.

Haha Luton is still motivated by their last match against Arsenal and today Luton uses the same strategy but unfortunately Manchester City won't let it be easy, they managed to make a comeback within 2 minutes Manchester City scored 2 goals lol and that was normal after 16 shot efforts finally 2 of them goals. The match still leaves 20 minutes but I'm sure this is not over, I mean there will be another goal Manchester City needs one more goal to make it safer if only one goal difference will be at risk who knows Luton scored in an extra time and that will disappoint for Manchester City because of their efforts in vain.

In another match we see Fulham destroy West Ham with 4 goals even though we know West Ham has played well in the last 4 matches but somehow in this match they can't score a single goal. Everton also managed to score first even though Chelsea controlled the match, it didn't have any impact but yeah Chelsea still have time to catch up they just need to be patient and don't need to be in a hurry, I think this fight can end in draw with a final score of 1-1 it seems too many surprises this week.

This is really funny if Manchester City can lose against Luton Town, Manchester City completely dominating and has a better stats than Luton Town, so it's not make any sense to see them can't score 2 goals.

On the other match Chelsea also dominating, yet they can't create any goal.

I'm optimism both Manchester City and Chelsea will win.


The fact that Manchester City is currently winning Luton Town is quite unexpected. Although they are playing better, they allow Luton to score in the first half. It a great to see Manchester city bouncing back, are they going to take the points? Losing to a team that is headed for relegation always surprises me. All of the clubs that haven't qualified for the Champions League or Europa League take their opponents seriously and aim to defeat them. How can a major team like Manchester City  unable to win Luton Town, there will be no victory for Manchester City when they play without Rodri, but they have the energy to win today.

With the way Chelsea is playing, I don't think they want to win this match after Everton has already scored goal. This weekend, not only in the Premier League, but also in other leagues, most of the big clubs are just losing to small clubs, thus Chelsea does not have even a little chance of defeating Everton.

Spurs vs Newcastle

and this time I am sure these two teams will fight for victory and both teams will score so I will bet on btts.
Tottenham in my opinion will not lose any more points in the match against Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because Spurs don't compete at UCL like Newcastle so they can focus here. Spurs will try to win after the final 5 matches they swallowed 4 defeats and draw against Manchester City.
Actually I also doubt Spurs win if I see from Head to Head they meet with Newcastle.
I support to bet on both of them will score goals.

That's what is always expected especially by Tottenham fans themselves, fans are always looking forward to the return of their pride team to their previous performance when they still dominated the victory that allowed them to crawl up to the top of the standings, although maybe I would say that the incident was nothing more than luck because not long after that their position was barely helped by a significant decline.

I think at least Tottenham should be able to get a draw if indeed victory is difficult to achieve, however they must be able to maintain their position in the top five of the standings, although the top five positions can be said to be quite good but still it is too unsafe because Manchester United including Newcastle are always behind them to catch up. Of course if we look at their previous Head to Head match against Newcastle it can indeed be made a big doubt and that's natural. Hopefully Tottenham can achieve a pretty good result in this match, lest they embarrass the fans for the second time at home.

Chelsea are really not doing anything to show that their performance is some how improving gradually, they play without any means of making opposition beg to have the ball, but in this case is just a 50/50 for both sides. The backline of Chelsea is very solid with Cucurella Disasi and Colwill on the mix, but I can't seem to understand why James have to always come on to make the defense line weak, he has completely lost form.
The Chelsea boss need to permanently drop the England right back for good because he's only making the team to be under pressure for no reason. Let's see how they'll play on the second half if the visitors would get a goal.
Proof that Everton can steal goals in the 54th minute through Abdoulaye, Chelsea play quite a lot of the ball, it can even be said 60% dominance is controlled by Chelsea, but unfortunately it does not have any impact, and Chelsea are quite difficult in building his attacks.

I think James is also pretty good, he can still improvise in his game, it's just that sometimes the blunder might make us think like that about him, when it is still running and the score temporary 1-0 for Everton tonight, Chelsea if he can clam the attack well, it will easily break through Everton's defense, but this will be difficult if Everton maintains victory, and chooses to carry out a full defense strategy in the remaining time.

Aston villa was showing astonishing performance. It keeps beat big clubs and i hope that aston villa will be winning EPL this season but it seems like that this is possible as long as aston villa will able to keep this tempo.
Im not saying other big clubs were bad but they are still under perform. I don't know what magic being used by emery to push their teams to perform perfectly like this time but yeah they are so amazing to use the defensive strategy.

Arsenal can almost do nothing against it. Aston villa has a very strong defensive line. No doubt that if emery is always willing to see his club to use low blocks strategy. There will be more strong teams to face aston villa.

Villa is cooking right now. Every big clubs must be scary with this club. Villa was just showing how to play the defensive strategy correctly. This club told manchester city and arsenal to perform better.
The consistency in doing counter attack was the key owned by aston villa to win the game.
Aston Villa has been remarkbable so far with their performance beating some big favorite club. They sit on third position now that shows how impressive unai Emery have managed Aston Villa. It's indeed not Impossible for Aston Villa to win Premier League remembering that they are one of the teams who have won the league tittle before. The key, as you rightly pointed out, lies in maintaining this impressive tempo throughout the season.

Effective defensive strategies can indeed be a game-changer, as evidenced by Aston Villa's success against some tough teams. Emery's approach, particularly in using a low block strategy, has proven effective in nullifying the attacks of strong teams like Arsenal. The strength of Aston Villa's defensive line is a crucial component of their success, and it appears that Aston Villa has capitalized on this aspect of their game. The challenge will be a consistent execution of their defensive strategies while also capitalizing on offensive opportunities. If they can maintain their defensive prowess and continue to perform at a high level.

There were some points that I thought were wrong in the first 11 players who were fielded.It was Shaw who became the central defender. Shaw failed to play well, Shaw lost the battle for the top ball and one goal came from it. Varane or Evans should probably be different. The other is Matrial, he is not maximal and only gets 1 shot on goal, should Hojlound be installed from the start. Ten Hag's experiment failed miserably. He didn't dare to make any major changes after the first half.

Today, all eyes are on the Reigning champions, Manchester City!!!!

With Arsenal dropping points and the premier league race open once again; city need to defeat stubborn Luton side away from home to reduce the points deficit towards the top of the league. Willl Pep boys get the maximum points? or the Manchester City guys will drop points again?

Its Luton vs Manchester City today; what are your predictions?
Manchester City will definitely be happy with Arsenal's defeat at Aston Villa yesterday because a win for them today in their game against Luton will take them to just four points behind current leaders of the English Premier League table Liverpool and increase their chances of making a comeback to reclaim top spot in the coming match week. Pep Guardiola knows how importance of that game against Luton today and will surely field his best available options to make sure he grabs all three points from the game.

The English Premier League has been very interesting this season as we've seen teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and now Liverpool top the standings. There's no been a consistent dominance by a single club and that goes a long way tell how entertaining it's been. I'm expecting a tight contention of who finishes the season with the title

Well, the thing is right now Manchester City should not be happy about anything. They should be angry and determined to do better in their upcoming matches in the English Premier League. Because honestly, they have not performed well in the English Premier League in recent times. And if they do not improve their performance very quickly, they will fall off too much to recover.

Chelsea are playing well no doubt, more credit should be given to Everton for holding it down till this point, they've tried as home team to show that they have a point to prove even though they are playing a big opponent, though Chelsea hasn't been been too impressive in the their outings, especially that loss against Manchester unitedi wasn't encouraging. Looking at how unpredictable this game can be, Everton might just see the back of the net this second half.

OMG, is that for real? westham was losing 3 goals against fulham? what the hell is it? Fulham was totally dominated the game against westham. Moyes's squad played so horrible against fulham. Im not hoping westham to make its comeback.
Even though it was possible but i think this is unlikely to happen. Fulham played far better this time. It was dominating the match with more ball possessions combined with total goal attempts. It seems like the result from this match can be determine easily.
Good luck for you guys who pick fulham / double chance fulham win. This is fucking amazing to see how fulham was showing extra ordinary performance against its opponent.

Westham has no hope in this match. Moyes's squad shall let three points go to the fulham. Equalizing three goals are very difficult to happen for westham.

It is very sad to see that Luton has taken the lead on the second minutes of the extra time of the first half. City who played and dominated the match with possesion couldn't score any goal till the first half was over, E. Adebayo was the player that scored the goal for Luton. I just hope that this match will favour Man City in the second half and they will be able to equalize the goal and win the game, if not this will be one of the worst record for Guardiola ever since he became the coach of Manchester City. Will i say that they don't have the luck of scoring goals anymore or what, because the Manchester city of last season and the beginning of this season are goal shooters.
