All the top premier league clubs would suffer fatigue at a point in time Arsenal had their own share of fatigue couple with injuries to some few key players like Odegaard, in a related issue Man City players too had started suffering from fatigue after losing to Bournemouth last weekend they lost 1-4 against Sporting Lisbon in UCL that means they suffer defeat back to back it's very obvious that players had been playing too many matches and it affecting players performances, I think Liverpool too would experience that same issue of fatigue, however clubs with quality depth in term of reserve players would manage and rotate their squad to avoid or reduce fatigue.

Seriously, Arsenal's performances in the last two seasons cannot be compared with their current form. In the last two seasons, I don't think Arsenal lost any matches around this period and even drew so many games. This season, I was expecting Arsenal to look even stronger as they added some players to strengthen their team, but it’s so bad to see their performance declining. In fact, I don't even have any confidence in Arsenal this season that they may win any trophy with their current form.

If not for the fact that Arsenal is underperforming this season, it should be a good opportunity for them to win the Premier League trophy, especially since Manchester City is not currently in good shape. City has been a great opponent for Arsenal in the last two seasons in the race for the Premier League title.

City really do look weak recently and that could result from the absence of a key player to injury which I'm optimistic they find a way around sooner before it gets worse and they loose more vital games, secondly i believe they would have done better if Guardiola has brought in de bruyne and doku in the early minutes of the second half after seeing that the defense line of sporting is very resistive through the first half and the early minutes of the second.

Manchester City just got three in a row loss, first time since 2018 as well. The benefit they have however is that they got it all on three different competitions. So they are out of EFL cup basically, and they are doing fine at league and UCL even though they have one loss.

There are times when teams do not do as well as you hope them to do, and that's fine, sometimes you just need to do that way, and nothing will change like that if you keep it going. I know this isn't a simple situation, but we need to make sure that we are dealing with a situation where teams can't keep doing great. Neither City, nor Liverpool and of course not Arsenal, they have bad times and sometimes they have to just grind through that period.

Liverpool are in a positive trend, they didn't bring in much in the last transfer window. Arne Slot knows that, but he seems confident that he can handle this team. Plus, it seems like this coach has been well received and immediately found a match with the Reds' players. Besides, Arne Slot came at the right time. I mean, Liverpool are not in a slump after Klopp left Anfield. But we agree with what you said, like last season Liverpool were able to perch at the top of the standings for quite a long time. But when the pressure started to increase, their performance declined and City returned to the top of the Premier League standings. This season, it is a serious challenge for Liverpool to stay in a positive trend. A tough challenge will come after the half-season ends, their consistency will be very important to stay at the top of the standings. Therefore, making the most of this momentum is a smart move. Moreover, Arsenal and City's performance are not at their best. They will face another tough match in the next few weeks, especially when they host Manchester City in week 13.

West Ham's Kudus fined and banned for additional two matches for misconduct

West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus's ban has been extended to five matches and he has been fined 60,000 pounds ($77,286) for violent conduct in last month's Premier League defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, the FA said on Wednesday.
Kudus was already serving an automatic three-match ban after receiving a red card against Spurs, which ruled him out of the Hammers' 2-1 home win over Manchester United and their 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, as well as Saturday's home match against Everton.

He was found guilty of violent conduct by an independent Regulatory Commission and will now also miss their league matches against Newcastle United on Nov. 25 and Arsenal on Nov. 30.
Kudus sparked a heated altercation between players in the 82nd minute of West Ham's 4-1 defeat at Tottenham on Oct. 19 when he fouled Spurs defender Micky van de Ven. Kudus first pushed Van de Ven in the face before doing the same to Pape Matar Sarr.

Referee Andy Madley upgraded Kudus's initial yellow card to a red after VAR check, citing violent conduct, which triggered an automatic three-match suspension.
In its written reasons, the independent regulatory commission said the 24-year-old Ghana international had apologised to the panel and said he was "deeply embarrassed" by his actions.

With Ruben Amorim's impressive success in getting Sporting to beat Manchester City in the Champions League, maybe I'm a little bit convinced that maybe, Ruben Amorim will be the right coach for Manchester United. But, I'm just saying it might be the right coach, but I'm not saying Ruben Amorim will completely be the right coach for Manchester United. Because honestly, I personally still strongly consider that there is still no definite result in a prediction, so I personally will not put much hope on Ruben Amorim if later Manchester United really make Ruben Amorim the head coach of Manchester United.

But indeed, the big win with 4-1 was very surprising because Manchester City can also still be said to have a good trend. But anyway, Ruben Amorim still managed to make Sporting beat Manchester City with such a crushing score and it was really impressive of course amid the strong issue of Ruben Amorim joining Manchester United.

I don’t think Ruben Amorim will have an overwhelming amount to change when he finally arrives at Manchester United. Amorim has proven himself as a talented and adaptable coach, showing he has the technical ability to manage a big club like Manchester United. However, bringing the club back to its former glory is a challenging task that requires more than just a single season. It will take patience, steady support from the club’s management, and time to implement his vision fully. Fortunately, Manchester United’s leadership seems committed to this long-term rebuild, and Amorim should have the resources he needs to succeed.

His emphasis on youth development and modern tactics will likely help to bring the best out of players across the squad, especially the younger talents. Amorim's tactical approach, focused on high-intensity pressing and quick transitions, could bring a fresh style that aligns well with United’s attacking philosophy. If given time and support, there’s a strong chance he will be able to turn Manchester United into a competitive force once again, gradually restoring the club to its historical standards.

2 seasons ago Arsenal looked promising but this season I agree The Gunner lost stability maybe the main factor why this happened because Arsenal players do not have a champion mentality so they lack high fighting values. Like it or not Arsenal will have a hard time if they do not succeed from pressure like this. I see there is a high sense of frustration both players and Arteta, this Arsenal chaos seems to continue to repeat itself from era to era. I don't really believe in curses but when I see Arsenal it seems like I believe it a little. Don't expect Arsenal to overtake Liverpool, sorry to say we are too good to be caught this season.

Of course this is Liverpool's advantage that has been achieved in two wins in the Domestic League and the Champions League, plus they are back in first place in the English Premier League standings, of course something that must be maintained by Liverpool that they must at least distance their points from Man City, who got bad results in their last two matches in the Domestic League and the Champions League, Liverpool's opportunity is now in front of their eyes to widen their distance from Man City, otherwise they will lose the title for the second time in the last two seasons by Man City, because what I know is that Man City is a club that is good at finding important moments, therefore Liverpool must focus on their goals this season.

It’s great news that Arsenal's star captain, Martin Ødegaard, has returned from injury. His presence on the pitch is undoubtedly a boost for the team, both in terms of morale and leadership. However, I’m not entirely convinced that his return alone will be enough to solve Arsenal’s recent struggles because Arsenal’s issues go beyond just one player. They need a more consistent collective performance and perhaps adjustments in their tactical approach to get back to winning ways.

I see Tottenham improving because they have defeated Manchester City in the EFL and Aston Villa in the league. I am impressed with Tottenham now, but I did not blame Manchester City for losing against Tottenham because their players were injured, and that is what caused Manchester City to lose the game, but their game against Bournemouth surprised me because Bournemouth are not in good form, but they get opportunities against a big club. Guadiola needs to make a transfer when the window is open because these key players are injured and they need to get replacements for them, because if they don't make a change, I don't think they will win the premier league this season because Liverpool are the club that is favourite currently because they are in better shape and winning their matches this season, they are doing well in the UCl and the league, and if Manchester City just lose any game now in the league and Liverpool give gap, i don't think they can catch Liverpool anymore in the table.

The season is getting tough for Arsenal and things are going the opposite way, reducing their chances of being in the title race. Most Arsenal fans thought the it is time for them to win EPL, but it seems like they are wrong because Arsenal is not in a good form currently to achieve such success. It's surprising that the clubs in their best performance last season is declining in form. No condition is permanent.

Maybe many people are surprised by how Chelsea who experience the performance of every season can be above Arsenal who have a very good consistency in their appearance, this makes me also surprised, is it possible that this Blues are in competition in the English Premier League, but that Still early and I think we are in a new transition in the English Premier League, even Tottenham is also experiencing a pretty good performance.

In this match, Manchester City got a very bad defeat because it is a good and hardworking team.  But Sporting CP scored 4 goals and did not concede more than 1 to Manchester City. However, if the record of both is seen, Manchester City has lost 2 and drawn 2 in few matches. Sporting CP has only 1 draw in few matches which proves well that Manchester City is weak. Manchester City defeat in this match casts doubt on the hard work of Sporting CP but it will not do anything because the match that was played had to be decided based on who won and lost

The point at which they are right now I doubt if they can meet up to the top for the league title. In previous season it was even more convincing by their performance to win the league title, but their performance right is not even encouraging for to win  Premier league. 

Arsenal is really struggling and teams which I never thought can be ahead of arsenal this season are already top, that means arsenal is not competing with Manchester City and Liverpool to get the title of the league but will be competing with Chelsea and Nottingham to be ahead of them. It will be so unfortunate not to found arsenal close to the top this season, after having wonderful performance in previous seasons I don't expect them to become worse this season.

I don't agree with the idea that Liverpool's success should be just to regain the top position in the league rather than aiming to win it. They are currently enjoying a good run of form, and they should take advantage of it. From past experience, I know Liverpool tends to struggle with consistency when the pressure is on, and they often disappoint. While Manchester City's form has declined, possibly due to injuries to key players.

Tottenham's performance against Manchester City and Aston Villa was very impressive, they did very well by making a good effort to win these matches despite the fact that many people expected them to lose the game to both Manchester City and Aston Villa, but they did well by winning the matches comfortable and this has given them more confidence to continue their winning streak in the Europa League.

Tottenham's game against Galatasaray away from home will be a tough match indeed, they will face a team that has been doing well since the beginning of the season in both their domestic League and the Europa League even though they played one draw in the Europa League, therefore, I will expect a draw in the match because of Osimhen, but without Osimhen, Tottenham in their best form deserve complete three points against Galatasaray.

Yes Tottenham come with confidence because they managed to win against City and Aston Villa. But City played a lot of their second players in the EFL. That's not City with a full squad. But if you look at City's performance against Sporting I think Tottenham still have a chance to beat City. On the other hand they managed to win against Aston Villa and that big win makes them ready to face Galatasaray. But they should not underestimate Galatasaray because so far they are unbeaten in the Turkish Super League. In addition they also have an impressive record with 29 goals and only 9 conceded. This shows that they are a solid team. Moreover they also have Osimhen who can be a threat to Tottenham's defense.

At this point, I don't know what to even think of Arsenal again, they are disorganized more than ever and I don't think this is the right time to be falling out of the top 4. How does it feel to be push out by Nottingham forest of all clubs that are doing better in the Premier League, Chelsea came all the way to stay ahead of them despite not having a good moderation in the beginning by their coach. I'm not sure if we will win this Premier League we are shouting everytime.

They have loss two games and win 2 and draw 1, that's doesn't look like who do well, atleast Manchester City isnstl dragging a place from Liverpool and are staying second place. The difference between Arsenal and top 1 right now is 7 points, it will take Arsenal good 3 win of match to be their provided that Liverpool win or rather I should say they should win their next 5 matches to be able to guarantee their possibilities of winning the Premier League and that's not possible if we're to be real with ourselves.
