Finally Manchester City can be ranked fifth in the standings. Indeed, there are still many matches available and Pep Gaurdiola will rearrange his tactics. As for the trophy, it is certain that this season Manchester City is difficult to defend. Manchester City remains a great club but this decline indicates that Manchester City players are losing confidence. Remember Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, Walker, Akanji, Axe, Covacic, and Bernando Silva will undergo a decline in form as they age.

Manchester United has poor records from Arsenal because during playing at Emirates Stadium Manchester United is never win from Arsenal in all competitions since 2020 even for last season under Ten Hag Manchester United lost 3 times from Arsenal so i would like to see whether Amorim can broke these poor records or not because as i said before this match is good to tested Manchester United consistency under new manager Amorim
Manchester United did not have good record with Arsenal since this opponent changed their home stadium from Highbury to Emirates, and it is the same time of Sir. Alex Ferguson retirement. Since that retirement of this legendary coach, Manchester United have been struggling to be one of strongest clubs in Premier League.Ruben Amorim is a newest coach with his mission to build up Manchester United as a giant in Premier League again. They just got a first win, big one with Amorim but the coach needs more time to prove his ability. This match with Arsenal is important for Amorim to create confidence in his players so that they will have more reasons to follow his tactical guides.

For Manchester City i have to says their players are lost their self confidence and it proven when the match against Liverpool that all of the players looks lost motivation to win and against Nottingham Forest i think they have to bounce back but Nottingham Forest too cannot be underestimate because they are the giant killer and do not forget too Nottingham Forest is the only team who can beat Liverpool at Anfield this season
Manchester City actually are in crisis but I disbelief that they easily lose their confidence after a series of bad matches. They will come back but will it be enough for them to compete for Premier League title, only time can tell us.Nottingham Forest after early impression, already returned to their actual level and this match is very good chance for Manchester City to have a winning and relieve their crisis a little bit.
This week there are many interesting match:
Newcastle vs Liverpool
Arsenal vs Manchester United
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forrest
I think Liverpool and Arsenal will win the match without any doubt, we know how strong is Liverpool and Manchester United was lucky to win big margin against Everton.
For Manchester City vs Nottingham Forrest, it's a big question, I speculate Nottingham Forrest will win.

I don’t think Pep Guardiola or Manchester City supporters were prepared for this drastic drop in performance. I believe Manchester City will bounce back from this. I laugh at anyone who says Pep should be sacked because City is doing as well as they normally would. People forget the times before Pep arrived at Manchester City. How many trophies have Manchester City won before Pep came into the picture? City should be grateful that they are champions because of Pep and they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that they could have achieved the same results with another manager.

Liverpool next opponent is not one that can stand against Liverpool which directly mean that the more point any team between arsenal and Chelsea losses, the more difficult it will be for any of them to come near Liverpool since the advantage they will be having at the top will be obviously too big and not good at all for any team that hope to contend for the league with them.
Liverpool will have some easy matches next and they potentially can get maximum points but be careful is very important. Any lost point to any opponent can affect their good advantage now and sometimes when a good streak is broken, a bad streak can start. We can see it with latest decreasing performances of Barcelona in La Liga and it has happened very quickly.Liverpool if want to win a first Premier League title with Slot, they will have to play each match with same carefulness as it is their final match. All opponents must be treated the same way because 3 points have some weight on their total points and final ending in this season.

Liverpool and Arsenal are stronger than Newcastle United and Manchester United, but they will have big challenges from these opponents. I am not sure that both of them will have 3 points from two strong opponents.
I'm expecting a more interesting game that won't end in a draw, the Gunners need to win that game to move a little bit closer to the league leaders and to reduce the point gap while waiting for Liverpool to drop point, that's if Newcastle can beat the Reds but that's all that needs to happen because Liverpool's 9pt is too big to say Arsenal they can catch up if the Reds doesn't drop any point, so I'd prefer the Gunners to win against Man UTD then wait for what will happen against Newcastle vs Liverpool.
games like this is usually very fierce because for the two teams involved, there's a lot to play for and i doubt any one of them will be coming into the game to look out for a draw. Manchester united have had enough of the bad result and can't continue dropping point regardless of the opposition they are up against, a four goal win against Everton is a booster for them going against arsenal but arsenal on the other hand is not even in a disadvantage position as they have successfully had a five goal win against west ham who only managed to score two goals that didn't prove useful at all at the end of the game. Liverpool next opponent is not one that can stand against Liverpool which directly mean that the more point any team between arsenal and Chelsea losses, the more difficult it will be for any of them to come near Liverpool since the advantage they will be having at the top will be obviously too big and not good at all for any team that hope to contend for the league with them.
Liverpool will surely win this game because you can imagine crystal palace that has been struggling playing a draw against Newcastle and I think in that match Newcastle are a lucky side if not they did not deserve any points in that game
For man Utd and Arsenal it's going to be a very tough match because of the rivalry between them and it will be like a derby match man Utd might win the match the way they played against Everton the defending the attacking very fast also arsenal might win after beating sporting who where on the champions league in the second position scoring 5 goals past the goalkeeper and repeating the same thing against Westham scoring 5 goals past the goalkeeper so I think this match is unpredictable
You need to understand that every games comes with his own aura and tempo, so I don't see this particular game as an easy game for Liverpool because they are playing at away and secondly, their is no easy game in the English premier league.
Then as for the game between arsenal vs Manchester united, it's actually going to be a cracker, because both of these two teams are in good form already, so their is a higher tendency of this game ending in a draw, but anything can still happen though.
I understand that Pep wanted to have some response, he can't really just keep going like this and still be saying that he is doing badly, of course we know he is doing badly, the problem is that he is not figuring out a way to get better neither.
It's been 7 games since they had a win, and lost 6 of them as well which is quite unusual for him, and something that is really looking weird for his legacy as well. Not saying that he is going to be remembered as bad or something, dude won so much, he won six premier league titles, and even a treble once with UCL as well, so his legacy is good, but for example Sir Alex Ferguson never lost 5 in a row in all 20+ years of his career, that has to be an important thing to remember.
That's not just a response it's what's happening if you watching his match since the day he started loosing till date you will find some improvement a example for the match against Tottenham after Debruyne was brought up you can see some passes but before he was brought the bid chances were not their it's just that it's a crisis that fall upon them and this is the first guardiola has lost 4 games in a row in his coaching career so I can say it's just a crisis that fall on them It's been 7 games since they had a win, and lost 6 of them as well which is quite unusual for him, and something that is really looking weird for his legacy as well.

Manchester United are now in a transformed mode with a new coach and their playing pattern have changed from how we used to them (absolutely poor) to let's say a more better one compared to what ETH was making them play. The new Manchester United manager has played 2 league games since joining from Sporting, drew 1 and got a comfortable win against Everton. Going against a hungry Arsenal side that has been trying to get back to the top is going to be Amorim first biggest challenge as a manager of Man UTD.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal won their last match and I think that will give Manchester United confidence to play against Arsenal, Arsenal is in good shape now and we can see that from their last two games by defeating Sporting with five goals and also defeating Westham with 5 goals from the first half of the match, Manchester United have not been playing well from the beginning of the season but after sacking Erik ten Hag they are playing well.
Ruben Amorim is trying a lot to make sure the team's performance looks good and can play well against the big teams, if Arsenal defeats Manchester United it will not be a surprise because Arsenal's performance is very good and if not because of injury and some red cards that affect Arsenal from the beginning of the season Arsenal will be competing with Liverpool and the points between them will not be more than 3 to 4 points.
I don’t think Pep Guardiola or Manchester City supporters were prepared for this drastic drop in performance. I believe Manchester City will bounce back from this. I laugh at anyone who says Pep should be sacked because City is doing as well as they normally would. People forget the times before Pep arrived at Manchester City. How many trophies have Manchester City won before Pep came into the picture?

Nobody expected a drastic quick drop from Manchester City like they did in latest matches. Before this season, people could predict a difficult season for Manchester City because they did not have a good replacement for De Bruyne, but nobody expected a severe injury of Rodri who is very important in their squad operation.There are more issues in their squad by ageing effects and they made mistake by selling Julian Alvarez too. Two seasons ago, they sold Cole Palmer who become one of brighest young star in Premier League now. Many problems come from ageing, lack of enough preparation in player resource, and bad transfer strategy recent seasons, put Manchester City in a big crisis now.
Pep will choose his right time to leave Manchester City, maybe at the season ending. I don't believe that he will stay with them, because he's smart enough to know rebuilding a successful squad like past 7 seasons is not easy.
Manchester city challenge is mostly coming from midfield. When your midfield is not functioning properly it will affect other departments of the squad. Manchester city is nothing without Rodri and Kelvin. They haven't been without these two players this long in the past, Pep never imagined that the duo of Kelvin and Rodri will be out this long, if not they would have been more prepared during the summer. Just watch out what will happen when the January transfer window opens. It is then you will understand that there is no body that is capable of rebuilding Manchester city than Pep Guardiola.

Currently they are indeed in a slump, with their matches tending to always end disappointingly. With Pep himself. he still has the confidence to be able to make his team rise from its slump, whether it is difficult or not for them to rise again but there is still a possibility that they will rise again even though it is difficult for them.In addition, the Manchester City coach said he had to find a solution to be able to revive his team to try to win the next match. I am sure all coaches will do their best for their team. apart from that, is it possible that he has run out of strategies for his team? this is confusing.

Compared to the previous match, when facing Man City, their defense was quite good and tight, but still unable to block the flow of the ball from Liverpool to tear Manchester City's goal. And it is very unfortunate that Manchester City's attack line was unable to maximize every opportunity they got, even when they were in front of the goal.The defeat from Liverpool was something that had been predicted before, considering Man City's performance on the field lately has been quite bad. and this is the 4th defeat in a row, while Liverpool continues to add to their winning streak to be longer. Currently, Man City's ranking in the standings continues to decline, now they are in fifth position and for the next match they will face Nottingham Forest, which is a team that cannot be underestimated this season, Nottingham could be a tough test for Man City to be able to stop the series of defeats experienced.
Many people are questioning all the bad results that have happened to Manchester City this season in various competitions that have been followed, I very surprised why all this happened and really in all match.
Manchester City should focus on other titles indeed because English Premier League title will depend most from other teams results, mainly Liverpool of course, rather than Manchester City players performance.
I am pretty sure Guardiola is the most pissed one by the results of his team. He didn't see that coming and the good performance of Liverpool and the results they taken after Klopp departure weren't expected by most people.
Liverpool is getting 9 points gap which is a large score after 13 rounds in the league.
Manchester City have 11 points left behind Liverpool lead the top standings position and still have opportunity keep in the Premier League tittle race because in this season have many matches left. Bad trend after 7 consecutives matches all competition can't winning yet and become first bad record for Pep Guardiola with Manchester City, but have opportunity for upcoming match in this middle week return to winning trend by facing Nottingham Forest. I am pretty sure Guardiola is the most pissed one by the results of his team. He didn't see that coming and the good performance of Liverpool and the results they taken after Klopp departure weren't expected by most people.
Liverpool is getting 9 points gap which is a large score after 13 rounds in the league.
Three important points for Manchester City get confidence performance and return back to the 2nd place behind 2 points remaining from Arsenal but take several matches later for pressure Liverpool have comfortable on the top place position. I believe Manchester City have winning mentality as every season always get failure at the early season but success become the winner at the end of season.

City should be grateful that they are champions because of Pep and they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that they could have achieved the same results with another manager.
Manchester City decline in performance has disappointed many who are connected to the club, but most importantly Guardiola must be able to improve the team's performance in order to achieve victory and restore the players' confidence. Now all parties must support them to get out of the slump, Guardiola also needs to work together with the players so that they return to their best performance. Pep Guardiola has done something that no manager has done before in the EPL, I am sure, this situation will not last long. He will soon find his best form to revive the competition in the title race.Nothing will be smooth and eternal in any journey including in the world of football, and there will be a time when a team will become weak and be replaced by another team because they make changes and as the saying goes the wheel turns.

Amorim has found a good composition for MU; he's put Rashford in the right position now, Rashford went crazy and created a lot of chances before creating the 1st goals. While Bruno created the movement to outwit the opponent and provide opportunities for the attacker to stumble on the front. This is what the fans want; MU has now developed an offensive strategy with accurate passing.
There are so many big changes were implemented to be effective. Amorim was brave to rotate the players, and success winning the match. I was previously skeptical when I saw Zirkzee, Mainoo, and Mazraoui as starters because those names do not look familiar to me. But apparently, it runs very effectively create score on 1st half.
Amorim didn't bring in players from other clubs but those who were already at the club but he is bringing this success because he is playing the right players in the right position and playing the right strategy. Manchester United's points table position has also seen some changes due to their good performances in the last few matches of the Premier League and this team is now at the ninth position of the points table with 19 points.
Most of the season's matches are still left, so if this manager can play the players until the end of the season with the right strategy, I believe this team will be in a very good position in the points table.
it will be quite difficult if you see the performance of the teams above. but if Amorim can make a good result, of course everything is possible. MU fans seem to be a little cured of their anger at Ten Hag.
