You can’t underrate any team in the EPL again because It’s now like there is no small team anymore and every match now seem like a big match and even in form Manchester City find it difficult to win some of the small clubs. That’s what i love about the EPL, it’s always so competitive but i must say Manchester City are actually almost unbeatable and I doubt if Arsenal can win them currently, both teams are playing well at the moment but until they face bigger teams that’s when we can decide who is better between the two.

Arsenal will be playing Tottenham today which will be a very big test for them because tottenham has been playing wonderfully well so far, they have been in top form since the start of the season and i think it is the biggest match of the day and will be an interesting match to watch.

You have a strong point, the reason could actually have been adaptation. Some players find it difficult to adapt to a certain league and environment and the fact that the team in general is struggling is another reason making life difficult for him. We all know how onana performed last season and that was why he was considered as first choice goalie. I think if it was Arsenal or Manchester City he joined the story could have been different because they are currently performing well and it is easier for every player who joins them to adapt to the style of play. Onana needs to given more time to settle in but I think the team doesn’t have such time.

Last season the competition in the English Premier League was strictly between Manchester City and Arsenal. That is how it is going to be again in this season. I have not seen any club that will give them hardkick apart from Liverpool, as you said this is because Liverpool has improved in their performance and many of their players are back from injury. So we expect that this players will continue to play their best because because this season will not be difficult task.
This weekend, I do not expect that club like Nottingham Forest will have anything to get against Manchester City.

This is the most important match of the day. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are in very good form at the moment. Both teams have scored 13 points in 5 matches. And so it is important for both of them to secure the second place in the table by securing 3 points in this match. Arsenal have proved their mettle. The team played very well in the Champions League match. Even then, it cannot be said for sure that Arsenal will win this match. The match between these two teams is competitive. Arsenal have won 3 of the last 5 meetings and Tottenham have won 2 matches. Both teams have equal chances of winning in this match. However, considering the home match, Arsenal players may be more confident.

If manchester city will be able to beat arsenal for two times in a row again this season. I would like to call manchester city was winning the trophy this season. I don't even count liverpool as its performance was not as stable as arsenal right now.
Manchester city is always at the favorable condition even though the club was missing some players. We shall also learn a lot from how manchester city was just beating arsenal easily to get EPL trophy at the end of season.

The same thing is gonna repeat soon. Havertz is utterly scam transfer. Arsenal was just wasting a lot of money on a garbage player like him which is actually useless for the club. Havertz's decision making was horrific.
Arteta shall not usee that guy again on its squad. I prefer arsenal to use vieira instead of him.

Arsenal needs to repeat the same performance as previous season but city looked like even stronger right now compared with last season.
It's caused by city is not relying on KDB again. The club can perform well without him.

Arsenal are in great shape at the moment. They are still moving on unbeaten and they have won nearly all of their games so far. Lastly they crushed PSV in Emirates by 4-0 in the Champions League. I wasn't surprised with this result at all by the way. Some people were thinking PSV would be challenging opponent for them but I didn't think the same.

There is a huge quality gap and Arsenal are performing incredible. This is the Champions League too not the Europa League. Anyway I think Tottenham have a really difficult job despite making a good start. I think Arsenal will win in Emirates.

Arsenal is once again proving herself to be the Arsenal we all have known before with their recent display both in EPL and other competition. I have no doubt in Arsenal winning in the north London derby against Spurs despite Spurs recent performance. Arteta squad showcased a wonderful display during the UCL and I don't expect less performance and result when they lock horns tomorrow. Tottenham might equally surprise us as football is an unpredictable game but I don't really see that happening. How Arsenal suddenly turn from a laughable team to a serious team since last two seasons is still shocking to some of us. Arteta deserve the glory for improving the team beyond expectations.

Tottenham's performance at the start of this season was beyond many people's expectations, surprisingly their new coach managed to create a new strength in this team after it was predicted that its performance would worsen after being left by Harry Kane.
And the next 2 matches will be real proof that Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool are also strong teams at the start of this season so of course this will be a very interesting match.
This weekend Tottenham will face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, this is a derby match which always presents a fierce match and I am quite optimistic that Tottenham will provide a fierce opponent.

The North London derby between Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspurs in week six will be exciting and hot. Moreover, both of them are performing well and are undefeated.

So, who will smile and cry at the end of the match?

 I will not put it past Arsenal to allow over confidence make them feel they've got tomorrow's game against Tottenham Hotspur in the bag and with both of them having good records in the last five games, it's going to be a tough game. The game tomorrow will be a decider for which team will record the first loss and of Arsenal is hoping to take the three points home, they'd have to be mindful of any surprises Tottenham Hotspur will bring. And they'd have to be especially wary of James Madison, because ever since he came to Tottenham from Leicester, he has proven that the £40m spent on him was not a wasted investment and has been able to create chances for goal, making them miss Harry Kane less.
 The likes of Son Heung Min, Richarlison (that's if he'd start) and the Senegalese signing, Pape Matar Sarr will be looking to have their names registered in the goals score board but I'm still feeling like the Gunners can hold their own especially now that Gabriel Jesus has returned in action.
Arsenal have proven to be a strong club and they will be tested again in tomorrow's 208th competitive North London derby of which the Gunners have won 4 out of their 5 last meetings.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are Man City tough competitors this season, while Chelsea and Man United have experienced a decline in performance and are not consistently getting points. Automatically Ten Hag and Pochettino squad cannot be included in the favorites list, the most realistic is to finish in the Champions League zone at the end of the season. This can only be realized when Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham lose points in several matches. If they can be consistent with positive results then there is little chance of Chelsea and United finishing in the top four.

On the other hand, the North London derby between Arsenal vs Tottenham will be presented this sixth week. The prediction is that Arsenal will continue the positive trend again, a draw seems difficult to happen. Head to head statistics in the last five meetings still place Arsenal as the favorites, Ange Postecoglu squad needs great luck if they want to pick up points at the Emirates stadium.

its too early to say what the future holds for a team at the end of this season. I mean the journey of the match is still very long, of course there will be many changes in a team when there are injured players that have a bad influence or even the arrival new players which helps improve the team performance and I will not agree with @Odusko statement because this season I dont see if they have problems in every match and I see that Arteta is more able to stabilize the performance Arsenal players and this has been proven since last season. except Arsenal experienced a lot of problems such as player injuries before the end of the season and this is what is called a surprise coming because we will never know what will happen at the end the season and what we have to assess is the good side a team that has tried to appear more consistently like a team top flight in this EPL.

I agree that so far Arsenal seem to be much more hopeful than at the end of last season. At that time several Arsenal players were suffering from injuries. And they had to face Man City who were in optimal condition at that time. And of course Man City could win easily last season. But I think this season there will be a little difference. At least even though Arsenal didn't win, I think if Arsenal played against Man City then a draw could happen. And Man City's current condition is actually not that good because several of their core players are injured. for example, Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Jack Grealish and even Bernardo Silva are also suffering from injuries. So Man City's performance is not in optimal condition at the moment. But in 2 weeks, maybe the Man City players will recover when they have to face Arsenal on Matchday 8.

Today Man City will face Nottingham. And if conditions are optimal, victory is guaranteed in Man City's hands. But this time, Nottingham might be able to provide a little resistance. Because several key Man City players are still injured.

The thing is that they're both good in there own ways, David De  Gea,no doubt has more experience than Onana when it comes to shot stopping he was one of the best shot stoppers I'm the EPL before he left Manchester United and can stop shots at a close range and from Afar as well, but is not really good with his foot and it's confident enough in receiving back passes and distributing to his players upfront.

 But Onana is a ball playing goalie and he's very confidence in receiving ball from the defenders calm the situation and distribute it to the attackers, when it comes to playing from the build up you can count on him and that's what Erik Ten Hag likes because it's suitable for his pattern, but when it comes to shot stopping he's not really bad, but he's no where compared to David de Gea cause he loses focus atimes I think Onana is being pressured by the fans and he needs to be calm and work on his shot stopping.

If you look at Arteta ambitions, it seems he is really motivated by last season's careless defeat because he feels safe at the top of the standings for a long time. So they don't realize that Man City has more than what Arsenal has. Therefore, this season will be Arsenal's opportunity to improve on what they forgot last season. Don't forget that Liverpool has also improved quite a lot and I agree that it is a strong competitor that Man City can face. Man United and Tottenham are currently unable to reach that level, without Harry Kane making Spurs sway a little. The start of the season was indeed impressive but it still wasn't enough when it came to facing Man City. Then the Red Devils actually lost a little from last season's performance. The current goalkeeper cannot replace David de Gea. Erik Ten Hag's attack line is also in the process of being adjusted. Rasmus Hojlund also contributed the first goal in the Champions League which ultimately defeated Bayern Munich.

Don't forget that Spurs have been very good so far and they have been able to maintain their best performance for weeks. I feel the presence of coach Ange has been very influential in Spurs' development since the start of the season and the presence of key players like James Maddison also makes the depth of the squad stronger. However, the current conditions of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are quite equal and it can be seen that these three teams have also collected 13 points in the standings. Regarding Arsenal's meeting with Manchester City this season, I think Manchester City's winning record will still be very difficult for Arsenal to break. Mikel Arteta's squad always loses in home or away matches against Manchester City. So maybe the result will still be the same and Arsenal will not be able to beat Manchester City.

The competition between them has happened since last season even Manchester City almost failed to get a title, luck is still on Manchester City side when Arsenal miss important points at the end of the season and Manchester City use it well. For this season it doesn't seem much different, as you said Liverpool and Arsenal are still the main competitors for Manchester City.

Even though this is the reality, in my opinion, so far the only clubs in the Premier League that still have potential and can provide a tight game can be said to be Arsenal and Liverpool. As far as I know, these two clubs are quite stable and at certain times Manchester City is not always in favorable conditions. So, if you look at Arsenal's growth in a more positive direction, it doesn't rule out the possibility that the meeting between Manchester City and Arsenal will be a match worth paying attention to for all Gunner fans.

He had his intentions and we shouldn't slaughter him for trying to do what he felt was best for the club at the time because rumors had it the dressing room weren't in cooperation as Thomas Tuchel was telling the squad something different from the goals, Todd Boehly had for the club. He was sacked not because the team wasn't playing very well but that also contributed, the main reason was to get rid of all the old staffs so he can bring in his own team. That's what happens whenever power change hand so he wasn't wrong doing that but maybe he didn't do it at the right time and made a mistake replacing him with an inexperienced manager and also started spending money wrongly thinking it's only about the money you spend to acquire players not knowing you also needs the right manager to work with them.


This particular problem is all the faults of Pochettino because he has quality players but not utilizing them properly, he's playing players out of position like when he plays chilwell in a wingers position and playing a five man defense against team we should be pushing people forward so we can attack them with more players. You can't be playing against small teams and giving them more time on the ball, they'll use it to destroy you because they always give it their all when they attack and that's why they get goals but we can't score them because we don't have players at the top of the field and our defense is been exposed, we have to be playing a four man defense so more midfielders and wingers get opportunity to play. Last game had improvement in the formation and we had more of the ball although the game ended goalless but it was a better display from how Chelsea has been playing and the game against Aston villa tomorrow, I believe we'll also see an improvement and win that game.

In as much as I've always been an advocate of not underrating small teams, I still can't help but agree with you, Manchester city's performance in all their games this season have made them almost unbeatable by any team in this current season in the EPL, though being an Arsenal fan and my happiness is seeing Arsenal win all their games, but when it comes to beating Manchester city, it's almost impossible..

So if the bigger clubs are unable to beat Manchester city, then, a team like Nottingham forest likely have no chance at all, but all the same, fingers crossed to see the outcome of the game.

Nottingham Forest will not try to win this match unless they hope for a draw because so far no team can beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium
I'm not disparaging Nottingham but that's the fact about Manchester City their player strength is almost the same in all lines including reserve players.
