The Manchester derby is going to be very exciting to follow next week.
I think Manchester City will have a more difficult job than the Chelsea game. Because Manchester United have made a really good progress in the league these days. There isn't a big point gap between them as well. Manchester City have a much better squad on paper maybe but it isn't guaranteeing anything for this game. Manchester United defeated them in Old Trafford nearly three years ago. I wonder if they can repeat it. But I don't expect Manchester City to lose this. Maybe we might see a draw with goals.

Manchester United did win, as that was some outstanding display from Marcus Rashford, good too see he's now playing with so much confidence.
It is very obvious how confident this Manchester United team are becoming, with every consecutive win their gathering they see themselves closer to establishing their place in the top four of the premier league and securing their spot for the champions league. Frankly speaking I don't see Manchester United finish in any position other than top for the season judging from how the players are performing especially Marcus Rashford. If Manchester United do not do well to make sure that Rashford is happy with them, another big club may easily entice him, most likely clubs like Real Madrid and PSG or the likes of them. He got an assist and a goal, he is the MOTM. 
I think the problem of Chelsea is not complex, what the team needs is not a coach like Potter because since the sacking of Thomas Tuchel there has been a decline in the performance of Chelsea and it has affected the confidence of the players because they find it difficult to score goals and the winning spirit has left the team this can be seen in their performance against Manchester City they had the control of the ball but they find it difficult to score goals even when they conceded the goal in the second half Chelsea still find it difficult to get back to the game even when they had so many opportunities so they should do the needful and get a better coach for the job if they want to return to winning ways.
And I feel so sorry for Chelsea fans
my thoughts and prayers are with em, this won't be the end, I hope they bounce back after all the dramatic drop in points. What would the win or loss mean for em ? Literally more pressure ahead of the Champions League.Graham Potter is not just a big team Coach, he may finally get to win FA Cup or EFL Cup but not the premier league.
Most Chelsea fans missed Graham Potter already cause he had a better tactics during his stay. A warning to bounce back should be given to Graham Potter else he'll loss his job.

Chelsea is not included in the race for the title and Champions League ticket this season I don't see Chelsea having a way out of this situation at least until this season
Maybe indeed Chelsea is playing better in the UCL than in the EPL, but as you said I am also not sure if Chelsea is in the ranks of potential Champions League holders if I know how Chelsea has performed so far and if there have been no improvements in several lines and elements. What's more, in this EPL, it might still be too difficult for them to fight their way into the Champions League zone for the next season because their current position is only in rank 10, or if they go up, they might be in rank 8. Come on, Chelsea, what's wrong with you? why this season there are so many surprises from strong and big teams in the previous season? The top four now seems to be very much out of the reach of Chelsea since they lost to Manchester City last night and that’s not the end of their troubles they also lost two players Sterling and Pulsic to injury in the first half.
Personally I think they tried, it’s really not easy holding Manchester city with a complete squad now imagine how they would fare with a weaker team. This victory still puts city in the race for the title with Arsenal.

Chelsea need refreshment in the team they can do it next season because there are more options for signing new players. Chelsea's main focus is the striker
from 17 matches they were only able to score 20 goals obviously that is a bad achievement.

Chelsea has complex problems, even after the change of coach they still can't get up. Actually, they still have players who are pretty good but maybe the tactics used are not appropriate or effective. Not only that, they don't seem to have high motivation to give optimal and good games and win matches. Is it because they've been too hard to come back in the Premiere so they can't be maximal? On the other hand, over time, Chelsea's position in the EPL has been increasingly shifted down, they have even experienced bad match results before. Maybe they need a new season to restart their passion. Chelsea need refreshment in the team they can do it next season because there are more options for signing new players.

Half time and the game score is still 1:1 Manchester united vs Everton is becoming more intense with the sexond half about to start and judging from the outcome of the match so far Manchester united will really have alot of tough time to defend the post against possible extra goal for Everton since their really pressing for that.
2 minutes from the end of a normal game and the score is still 2-1 thanks to an own goal by their equalizer Conor Coady in this game.Actually it's a bit difficult for everton and most likely with the remaining time now and Manchester United's possession like this it will obviously be troublesome and this is 3 points back it seems for Manchester United regardless. with this result they are in 4th position comfortably because apart from having a 1 match advantage Tottenham also still lose by a point difference.
The last match result that Chelsea played with Manchester City has even make it worst for Chelsea to be in the top 4 of the premier league table this season. Right now to improve the performance of the team they need sign in some players to help boost the club.
But they made a lot of signing in the last transfer window and that will be a challenge for them to sign In new players they really need this season due to finances.
Even signing the new players were not always become the answer to solve the performance from the club. So many times chelsea signed new players but these players were failed to give huge contribution to the club. I meant some transfer like cucurela and wesley fofana were failed. Aubameyang trafers were giving nothing for chelsea too. Buying the new players were gambling for chelsea caused by the coach was not even picking the players properly. I meant chelsea shall stop to search players with huge instead of buying lots of potential players with cheap price like newcastle. But they made a lot of signing in the last transfer window and that will be a challenge for them to sign In new players they really need this season due to finances.
The way eddie howe managed newcastle far better compared with chelsea. Chelsea will not be playing for champion league soon.

I think Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea all aren't in any title race from now on. They are quite away from the leader currently as the gaps are above 10 points at the moment. Even Newcastle and Manchester United also have a really difficult work to do about this situation. The title race is more likely to go on between Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining part of the season. Manchester City are also surprising us by still trailing behind Arsenal after making easy point losses against weaker teams.
This might be really Arsenal's time to win the league title after so many years. But it will be really surprising if Liverpool and Chelsea don't make it to the Champions League. Both of them need to think of a plan B immediately to start the recovery process.

You are right only Arsenal and Manchester City will fight for the title while the other teams only target the Champions League zone and European League
We know Arsenal are comfortable in the standings but the difference of 5 points is not a safe position for Arsenal Manchester City could take over at any time
on the other hand Manchester united also still has a chance even though the chances are lower than Manchester City but recently Manchester United's performance has been increasing and there is a possibility that Man united will become a competitor.

Manchester united did a big blunder that aided 'em (Everton) to get a cheap goal -- without much stress.... David de gea has an explanations for that.I'm always proud of this 'Rashford' dude; he came almost in time, when the goal was needed to top up. I don't think Everton is really gonna give in to that defeate, maybe that's the main reason David should be more careful this time around, though their key player, 'Alex iwobi' has been taken down on a minor injury which is enough for him to quit the game just too early enough ... Let's see what happens next as the score remain 2:1 on the score sheet.

Unfortunately, the different number of games does not allow one to assess the position / prospects of the teams at a glance (for example, Newcastle looks very strong because they have only one defeat, but they have already played 18 games), but it is obvious that Arsenal and City will fight for the title, and all the rest for the top 4. As for Chelsea, they even dropped out of this race - 10 points to fourth place, but worse is that there are several strong rivals ahead.
The problem of Chelsea is that the signings they made last year have refused to fire the club to the top, Manchester city getting all three points against Chelsea came as no surprise to me, Injury to Ngolo Kante have exposed the blues, they need quality replacement and they need play the style of football that will fit the managers pattern of play, Currently on 10th position the blues have to make things right or keep going, Potter should be given more matches to get this team on, I really believe in the work he is doing there.
The Fulham game is surely a difficult one for Chelsea.
Fulham have even a better placement than Chelsea now indeed. This should also be a clue about what can happen in this game. If we take the head-to-head games into account we can see it like it is a comfortable game for Chelsea. But I think those games would be misleading for the current situation. Chelsea are having problematic days and Fulham have the strength to steal at least one point in this. I might prefer to bet on both teams to score instead.

Fulham has been really good this season and much better then Chelsea this season. Even tho Chelsea got a more expensive team and better on paper they were really bad. But Mitrovic dosent play because of his card trouble and he is the main reason why fulham was playing good. So Chelsea might win this.

It is now too late for Chelsea because the top-four race appears to be very difficult for teams such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, who are slightly stronger than Chelsea this season.Chelsea needs to sign players other than strikers, despite the fact that they lack scoring ability. I believe they also need reinforcement in their midfield, where they lack creativity, which is why they have scored fewer goals this season.

Manchester City is a better team than Chelsea, but if teams like Leeds United can hold the Manchester City draw, I believe Chelsea should as well because they are far better compared to Leeds United.Nonetheless, the three points have given Manchester City hope, as they have reduced the points gap between themselves and Arsenal to five, making the league more competitive as they have put more pressure on the Arsenal side.
You can't predict this match,United have been consistent with winning their matches since they came came back from the world cup break. The team is playing good football and will be able to win City when they meet. Eric Ten Hag boys should not be underestimated.
Man city is second in the league and has more advantage in winning due to their good squad of players but it might not be as we think it,because United will need three points in that match. It will be a game of survival of the fittest.
I think nothing is impossible, even Manchester United can win against Manchester City. But otherwise, Manchester City with all its advantages can also beat Manchester United for the title they are chasing. I think the right thing is, Manchester United have improved in form since the Premier League restarted after the World Cup break. That's really good.Man city is second in the league and has more advantage in winning due to their good squad of players but it might not be as we think it,because United will need three points in that match. It will be a game of survival of the fittest.
I just think Manchester City can contain the increase in Ten Hag's player on January 14, as Manchester City have done in their last 3 meetings againt Manchester United.
I didn't expect Manchester United's performance to really improve after last year's slump.
The last match result that Chelsea played with Manchester City has even make it worst for Chelsea to be in the top 4 of the premier league table this season. Right now to improve the performance of the team they need sign in some players to help boost the club.
But they made a lot of signing in the last transfer window and that will be a challenge for them to sign In new players they really need this season due to finances.
