Yes you have said absolutely right because Manchester United has never looked good and strong. Due to which it has not been good even with Eirk.Obviously, there must be some change in them due to which they would have benefited from his departure. Even if they don't play well, their team is weak.  But they are playing better in today's match.There still 2 goals, if they don't score more goals, they won't lose. But there can be an advantage because their goals will increase. Leicester doubts their ability to turn the game around in the final minute. Their position will also go up and down in a competition. If Newcastle play well, they will go up, otherwise they will take the bottom position from where they were. Which is not for him.

After the draw match against Cheslea, Arteta's interview said that Saka and Rice didn't look good. This is quite difficult for Arsenal because again they have to be forced to replace their main players due to injury, especially Saka also recently made a comeback from injury, and this happened again. Based on data on transfermrkt, Saka will miss around 7 matches due to this leg injury, however, as a key player of Arsenal, this is very important especially since there are many important matches ahead.

But indeed, EPL is a very tight competition, even with the result of 1 match can really affect their rank position in the table. Look at the point gap between clubs number 3 - 9, it is really tight, the same 19 points and 18 points. This makes any club still have a chance to enter the top 5 in the next match. and there is still a chance for them to enter the top 5 races during this season.

Since Euro 2020 but hosted in 2021 year because of Covid-19, Saka was over used by both Arsenal and England national team. He started to get his first injury since 2020 in the last season and after that injury, he began more sensitive with injuries. I believe that these injuries mainly come from his exhausted body and Arsenal must see it seriously.

They need Saka because he is one of their most important players, but to get most contributions from Saka, they need to protect him and protection means using him properly and giving enough time to rest and recharge energy for his body. If Arsenal continue to overuse Saka after this injury, things will become worse.

I felt bad to see Saka leave the field yesterday, but I'm sure it’s just a minor injury, and he will be back after the international break. Saka has a great impact in Arsenal, and whenever he is injured, then Arsenal performance is going to drop drastically, but from what happened yesterday, it’s obvious that it’s a minor injury, and we expect him to be back soon.

I don’t think Manchester United are supposed to be happy yet, most of the teams they have played against are weak teams, but I will say there is a slight difference in the way they have been playing, there is improvement in their performance compared to when Ten was still their coach.

Chelsea fans think they are better than Arsenal and the fans don't know that Chelsea is scared of Arsenal because when it comes to playing with other clubs Chelsea is always at the top front and when it comes to Arsenal they are always conscious of Arsenal, and if not that havertz goal was canceled then it would have been something different they claim they have improved so why was it difficult for them to beat arsenal they know that it will be very impossible and so they should keep their banter to their self, and if not for the mistake arsenal made from the beginning and sakas injury then last season Chelsea could not smell arsenal


Chelsea has improved, but how long will it take for them to be able to keep it up? Chelsea is supposed to be ashamed of themselves after spending money on players, and they were still unable to get results. If not for this season, we know how Chelsea was worse. I don't want to hear anything from the Chelsea fans. and I don't think the inter-crisis is not a problem for Chelsea, so there is an improvement.

Ahead of the 2024-2025 season, Man City is downsizing by selling 4 of its players, and City is also recruiting 2 new players who are expected to strengthen City's attack and defense lines, with Mateo from Chelsea who plays as a central midfielder and Josko from RB Leipzig who plays as a defender, and Josko is also one of the highest rated defenders in the world. And this recruitment further emphasizes City's commitment to strengthening the midfield and defense. For the start of the season, all of this went according to plan with several series of wins achieved. However, City did not expect that the downsizing they did ahead of the 2024-2025 season would be a disaster with a storm of injuries that occurred unexpectedly. So that in the end man city had to experience a series of defeats


Being able to perform well in the Premier League and Champions League is something that has been expected all this time. Although Arne Slot seems to only continue what Jurgen Klopp has built, there have not been too many changes in Liverpool's body. However, Arne Slot was able to maintain and improve Liverpool's performance.

Although it is still too early to judge Liverpool and say that Liverpool will win the title, considering the long season. However, seeing how Liverpool performs and is consistent on the field, they will remain a club that competes closely at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

Not just Chelsea fan. But majority of the big 6 fan base prefer others club winning the title rather than arsenal. Arsenal has become a thing of ridicule in the past years. As a rival fan I’ll love to see arsenal lift the EPL trophy, because they’ve really worked hard and also deserve it too.

But then it’s football, luck sometimes doesn’t play a role when needed. That’s if hard work refuses to pay off.

Why do Chelsea fans banter Arsenal so much   They don’t mind Manchester City or Liverpool winning the league as long as it’s not Arsenal.

Chelsea have really improved this season. I didn’t think Enzo Maresca was going to be a good match for Chelsea but he is constantly proving me wrong. Chelsea have maintained a good run this season despite the internal crisis that is happening with the club ownership.  

I feel gunners would have won this particular game if not for that wrong VAR decision. But then both teams where very careful in the way they approached the game, they both had less mistakes but where just managing to defend their territory. I agree with you that this is an improvement on the side of Chelsea, but it was a drop on the side of Arsenal, because a lot of people believe Arsenal where in a better place to beat Chelsea.

Yeah, I agree with you that the tilte is still open, and the hope for Arsenal to win the title is not buried yet because anything can still happen between now till the of the season. As for Manchester United, I don't think they have that consistency yet, though Ruud Van Nisterlrooy hasn't been doing bad for this last few games he has handled but i believe they can do will to qualify for the champions League next season.

I think Liverpool are the most consistent team in the Premier League so far. They have only lost once and they also have a solid defense, where they have only conceded 6 goals. When Liverpool appointed Arne Slot to be Klopp's successor, I was quite pessimistic that the young coach could do something. But it turns out I was wrong because Arne Slot can provide significant improvements.

There is still a long way to go in the Premier League, so we just have to see if Arne Slot can really bring Liverpool to the top until the end of the season, or whether he will find obstacles along the way.

Erik ten Hag implementing his style of play became very difficult and at the same time, he had players who weren't willing to play for him no more, he had players also leaking information to the media to cause uproar and chaos happening in the dressing room, not just that lead to his sack but also him favoritism. Well, it's the glory of Man Utd we want and I'll back who ever comes next. Ruud has done well as a player and coach and I don't lie. Wanting him to stay ain't bad, I just hope they axed players finding it difficult to adapt to the new manager system.

Arne Slot managed to keep Liverpool's game in good condition. not many changes have occurred, they are still very strong in midfield and also fast with wing attacks. but the changes may look quite good in their defense.
They appear quite productive with few goals conceded. hopefully, Arne Slot manages to maintain this performance well until the end of the season. and that will be the Premier League trophy for him. I know the competition is still long, all possibilities can happen, but hopefully, the worst possibility they experience is not.

When you say Chelsea is not in anyway competing for the English premier League title, to me it's laughable, so how do you categorize a team that's competing for a title in a season, in case you have forgotten already, currently the blues is sitting in the 3rd position though it's is with goal difference that they are above arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Brighton however you can't just conclude that such team is not competing for the said league tittle, if they are not as you said, then what are they doing exactly? I love your emphasis though Chelsea messed up to have allowed some of the teams you mentioned to defeat them earlier which they are also trying to make sure such doesn't repeat itself again, I think Chelsea deserves accolade because it's not easy to be in such position in a competitive league like the English pemiership even though it may be temporary, we never can tell whats about to come, the occupant's of the first position which is Liverpool are topping chelsea with 7 points though they are very much in good form but don't forget that anything is possible especially in the English premier League.

If you understand this soccer of a thing you would have known that it's good to win all your weak opponents then win or draw with the stronger ones, losing shouldn't be an option but it's nevitable, Cole palmer has been excellent, he was silent in the second half of the match no doubt but his presence was needed to serve as a threat to their oponents and I think their manager understands that impact, buddy sharing a point is better than losing and I was happy that Chelsea was able to achieve that.

Despite working with a new coach, Liverpool did not show that they had to adapt, and in a short time they were able to find their rhythm very well. Arne Slot became the main figure for what Liverpool showed this season, because he could very quickly see the potential of the players he had so that it made the strategy he implemented work well, at least until now. Many people are worried about Liverpool's performance after they officially parted ways with Jurgen Klopp, but Arne Slot was able to answer all those concerns with the impressive game that he managed to show in the Premier League and the Champions League. As long as they can maintain what they are showing now, I think they will be able to win titles in these 2 different and prestigious competitions.

This is the first time under Guardiola's leadership, feeling the pressure. Manchester City are in trouble after losing four consecutive matches in all competitions. Should everything be questioned at this blue club as the injury list grows longer? Manchester City's defense is currently in a state of alarm, with Pep Guardiola forced to rely on 19-year-old center-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in the match against Brighton.
Five points behind title rivals Liverpool before the international break. If they do not find a solution to overcome the injury storm and regain their form soon, the Etihad team risks being left behind by Liverpool in the championship race as soon as December ends, similar to the scenario that happened in the 2019/20 season.

Liverpool have been battling a lot of excitement this season, with their strong performances in the Champions League and Premier League taking the top position of the points table. Moreover, these two teams, Manchester City and Arsenal, are on the points table in the Champions League with 7 points, but these two teams are in good competition in the Premier League. However, the way Liverpool have progressed in the title race this season, they have a lot of potential to lift the Champions League and Premier League trophies. But I think Liverpool must focus on either side, if they fight for two titles, they can definitely get knocked out. However, there are still many competitions to be played in the Champions League where Liverpool can lose the top spot at any time. However, Liverpool are still favorites to win the Premier League title, Liverpool are now 5 points ahead of Manchester City, so they need to collect more points if they hope to win the title this season.

A very good achievement for Manchester united in a very short time really, 4 games under the new coach, and 3 of those they won, and 1 of those was a draw, no loosing game, it's really really commendable to be honest, and I can only imagine how proud the management of the club and their players must be feeling right now because at least, they are back on their feet again (or so it seems for now).

But notwithstanding, I personally like to give stuffs and people good time to really prove themselves, and going by this, I would say it's still a bit too early to begin to celebrate the new coach, I love his achievements so far but it's actually too early to begin to celebrate him, lets come back and see what will be Manchester united's achievements after they have successfully played  atleast, 15 to 20 matches under their new coach, then and only then, do I think we can start celebrating the new coach if the record is as good as it is right now.

I will ruled out for Liverpool and Manchester City because both teams is very capable for race title but for Champion league spots i have seen at least 4 teams has same points and they are Chelsea, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Brighton so i think this is so interesting because after Brighton can beat Manchester City their position were jumped to 6th place but Nottingham Forest have to satisfied to occupy 5th place because they lost from Newcastle and after International break i have seen some of those teams will fight against weak opponents unless Nottingham Forest because their upcoming opponent is Arsenal and i feel like they can lost again from this match especially this is home match for Arsenal and i am sure Arsenal want to utilize this match to return to the winning ways

Man U is a great team and Ruud as an interim manager has shown that the red devils can bounce back when led by a strong hand. Historically, this season's result is their lowest at this stage since 1986/87 and the least goals scored since 1973/74. Hence, the new managerial team have lots of improvements and work to do.

It is not so much about the current setback, it is the performance over the last four games. Now the 5-point gap shouldn't be underestimated because Liverpool is serious about it this season - they are not joking around. There is soon the match when Liverpool is playing against Manchester City at Anfield Road. Guardiola knows that this could be the first knockdown of the season if they lose that game.

I thought that Liverpool would be the team being in more trouble now, but it's quite the other way around. They have got the best defense in the Premier League by far and it is no coincidence as the game against Bayer Leverkusen has shown. They are a high quality team that is in for the title race for sure.
