It was not good for Manchester City to enter the 82nd minute with a risky score in the match they played at home because if City had not scored the 3rd goal in the last minutes of the match, anything could have happened. City's attacking line is doing its job but their defense is not doing exactly what they want. This is due to the fact that the attacking players contribute little to the defense. If the attacking players contribute little to the defense, they may have problems in big matches.

Guardiola has a plan to solve this and he will implement it because they need to win more comfortably at home. The team's defense is as important as its offense.

Arteta has really changed the thinking of the Gunners this season after going head to head against PSG with a win (2-0) they didn't use the champions league game as an excuse of not performing well in today's game against Southampton. A team that caused Arsenal the chance of winning the league title 2 seasons ago, at least they started it by playing out a draw which started Arsenal's down fall.
But today's game was a little bit off color for Arsenal in the first half, where they played like a team that doesn't want all 3pt. In the second half Arsenal fired up and started pressing till they dominated the midfield of the visitors and made the defense to be open to penetrate.
Between Arsenal and City the team that's dropping their style of play at this very stage of the season, I'll say City are slowly dropping that force of dominating every single game in the EPL, they got lucky if not the game would have ended in a draw. I think things are some how not going well for City in that midfield, they need a replacement as soon as possible.

Yeah, we should give the win to Chelsea already considering how well they've been playing so far, and also the home advantage. But I won't write Nottingham forest off easily, because we all saw what they did to the current league leaders(Liverpool) at Anfield. Even if Chelsea are going to take all 3 points, I believe forest will pull up a good fight. And I hope Jackson won't choose to go on vacation in tomorrow's game, because we sometimes don't see him when he is needed the most.


After Southampton scored the opener, I think the previous incident of a draw at the Emirate must have flashed through the eyes of the arsenal players. But I really liked the way they had to make a quick statement, and it was a brilliant strike from havertz. At some point when the game was still goalless, I was thinking that ramsdale must have said enough to the Southampton team, which made the game complicated for the gunners at the begining as they failed to find the net. But Arteta wasn't ready to take that chance at all, which led him to making 3 quick sub, and the whole dynamics of game changed. Congrats to them.

I haven’t seen any difference in Arsenal performance, they have been playing this season the same way they played in previous seasons, so I am still expecting the same result they have been getting. I don’t think Arsenal can surprise us with anything this season, all they will end the season with will be either second or third position, but I don’t think Arsenal will be able to win the Premier League title this season, they will end up disappointing their fans towards the ending of the season, just the way they have been doing every season.

I don’t know, maybe I'm the only one that’s not seeing the difference. Arsenal are playing the same way they have been playing, and I can’t really see any significant difference in their performance. Let’s just see the way things go, but I'm not expecting anything from Arsenal.

The temporary standings are now tight between the Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal teams, the next few weeks there are only losers then it can shift positions and it is difficult to catch up as much as possible Liverpool will continue to maintain and next week will face Chelsea at Anfield which I think it will be a little difficult.

What I have noticed over the last few seasons Arsenal have always performed stunningly, it's just that it often happens towards the end of the season they always lose, and cannot maintain their position.

I don't know about the current season for Arsenal, if Arteta can achieve the trophy they want then it will be a great achievement for him.

If you still find Manchester City and Liverpool performing well every week, then you might want to consider that Arsenal's plans this season are never going to be easy. Liverpool leads the standings even though the points gap is quite low with Arsenal and Manchester City, but changes in position in the standings can always be expected considering that the season is still very long.

Arsenal and Manchester City won their respective home games today, as did Liverpool who won 0-1 at Crystal Palace. If one of them makes a mistake in the coming weeks, it is certain that a change in standings could occur. Chelsea hasn't played yet, but they also have a great chance of winning.

Manchester city team is very strong and they won this match by performing well enough, although every player was aggressive in manchester city team. But the opposite side is very weak in comparison they performed well, although Fulham lost but the goal difference was small.  So Manchester City has collected three points from this match to hold the second place in the points table, these two teams have given the audience a very competitive game in today's match.

Now we can see that Rodri is indeed a player who has made a significant contribution to Man City's defense line. Man City have conceded 5 goals in 3 games since he was injured. Meanwhile, in the previous 4 matches, Man City only conceded 3 goals when Rodri was still playing. Rodri is a player with good defensive transition skills. When his team loses the possession, he will quickly put intense pressure on the opponent, so it will be quite disturbing for the opponent in doing a build-up.

Guardiola really has to find a solution to their defensive line as soon as possible because if at some point their front line faces a deadlock, then it could be their opponents who will find the net first, and worst of all it could be a defeat for them.

There isn't really a "best" team yet, most teams look close to each other right now, it's too early to make these type of decisions. I believe the best way to handle what's going on is waiting a bit longer and see which team gets ahead of the pack.

At premier league that doesn't always happen too early, last year three teams fought until like last month or so, and then two teams finished closed in the end as well. We should probably just wait and see by the end and we can't decide which one is the best without seeing the very end result.

I get that some people may have some hopes about it but I do not think that we are going to get any result that would be all that unlikely, we are going to see them make very big changes. We should be considering how to get better results, and for this we need to keep betting as well. Big teams will rarely lose to smaller teams at premier league, not impossible but uncommon so keep betting on the top three to win the games.

What I do know is that the Premier League title contestants of this season will still be between clubs that we already know, " Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool" in addition to Chelsea.

This particular three clubs, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool had been having loggerheads between one another for the past two season, and I do think that the same battle of the PL trophy will still repeat itself this season, that we going to have either Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool snatching the PL title at the ending of the season with just few points gap.

What I am just anticipating for Arsenal to do this season, is to beat Manchester City and Liverpool out of the PL title bearer. I will happy if that finally happens

Manchester City dominated this match for a long time, as their style of play was different. Although the Fulham team managed to score a goal in the beginning, they performed well later but could not withstand the pressure of Manchester City.  
Attack after attack, Manchester City scored three goals in a row, and Fulham scored late and early goals to end the game 3–2 in the last minute. In this case, Manchester City had the highest number of bettors from the start, as all the bettors were confident that Manchester City would easily win this match.
And it's true that Manchester City won but the goal difference was small, but in today's match, Haaland did not see any goals after performing for a long time.

Leicester's yellow cards are too many because they play quite aggressively and a little rough, the first goal in the 16th minute is a sign of their victory in the first half and ends in the second half as the only goal in this match, Bournemouth has worked as hard as possible but still they can't make a goal, 17 shots did not produce a single goal, I think Bournemouth looks bad in the front line in the match, this is also influenced by Leicester who immediately changed their strategy to choose to defend rather than open up big opportunities for Bournemouth's attack. 1-0 for Leicester's victory and makes them a little away from the relegation zone.

You shouldn’t have lost hope on Manchester United if you didn’t lose on Arsenal, every team has their trying times and this might be theirs and they can pick up at anytime. I don’t look down on any team now again, when they’re doing poorly at the beginning of the season, it doesn’t equate to them to be like that till the end of the season and if they started well, it doesn’t also mean they might finish at the top of the table. Consistency is what will make you achieve success in this competition and when you lack it, you’ll see yourself falling down the ladder of the standings.

Arsenal played a very nice game today and won by three goal to one, I see them still showing that determination for the league title, if they continue in this manner, they will be a league contender and possibly the league winner if they’re able to defeat those teams that will be competing with them edge to edge in the final moments of the league.


What a lucky day for them. Before this match was played, I was very sceptical whether Liverpool could win this game or not because of how Crystal Palace plays against big teams. They play poorly with smaller teams and then give the big teams tough time and they find it hard to prevail against them easily. Liverpool were lucky for that early goal and didn’t allow Crystal Palace to get an equalizer even though they were unable to add more goals. Good game so far by Liverpool as they still remain on top of the table.

Chelsea will host Nottingham Forest this week, they should also be able to follow the victory achieved by the 3 teams mentioned, Liverpool, Manchester City and also Arsenal. Their opponents are not that strong, so they should be able to take advantage of it very well by winning.
They are also in a positive trend at the moment, they can compete again at the top at least until the 6th week that has been played. This week they must be able to be consistent in maintaining the victory after victory that they achieved previously. Consistency is an important point that will be one of the factors whether they will win or not.

it was not a difficult match for Arsenal, so this victory was predicted before the match took place. At first Arsenal had a hard time breaking through the defense built by Southampton and they had to be goalless in the first half. However, entering the second half, they changed their strategy a little and it paid off in the 58th minute, yes even though they were also surprised first by a goal that Southampton could create 3 minutes before they could reply. But they were able to respond quickly.
A very valuable victory for Arsenal to be able to compete with points without gaps.

Liverpool may or may not be the best team right now this season, but one thing is a great news for them, they changed their long time coach to a new one and didn't get worse. Which isn't an easy thing to do, Klopp won so much there and most importantly hearts of every fan as well.

This means Arne Slott has a huge shoes to fill and so far he has been doing fine. Obviously we are just at the start of the season and things may change, but I do not see any big changes just yet, we are seeing them do fine, which is why I believe we are going to be making some good changes eventually. This isn't for any other purpose than just making sure we deal with the right thing. I believe we will get a greater Liverpool results in the future.

You're right, the match is really interesting and even I think the two have played quite impressively, Fulham in the last few matches have been able to appear quite impressive by giving quite fierce resistance to each of their opponents, and in today match their has tested the mentality of Manchester City
especially with the early goal from Pereira which made them quite surprised, but we know that all this time Manchester City has a tendency to bounce back after conceding and in the end the 3 points still belong to them in today match.
But despite their win today, we have seen so far that City defence can sometimes be a weak spot, and the chances that Adama Traore failed to capitalise on in the game showed that they still have gaps that can be exploited by opposing attackers,I think Guardiola at the moment has to improve their defence immediately because if not then we just have to wait for time to see them suffer their first defeat.

They did pretty great and shout out goes to Allison Becker and the defenders today, they did a good job despite the numerous attacks launched by Crystal Palace today. Virgil Van Dijk and Konate did great honestly that early goal was well held down though they created chances but couldn't score.. Did you all notice the great defending from Trevor Chalobah? He was brilliant as he closely marked Mo Salah during the game today. Sad to see Allison Becker getting Injured, we will definitely know how long he'll be out for. So far so good, Arne Slot has been brilliant in the first 7 fixtures.

Liverpool needed 3 points to stay top of the table. And Liverpool team to secure 3 points. Liverpool won by a narrow margin of 1-0. As the top spot in the table is now occupied by Liverpool. Therefore, there is no need for Liverpool to win by a large margin. However, in this match, Liverpool's players were able to perform very well. However, Crystal Palace's defenders performed well in this match. This is why the team cannot score more than one goal.



The Premier League has become very competitive. Liverpool, City and Arsenal are fighting for the title. Chelsea and Aston Villa are performing quite well. These two teams are not far behind. Liverpool are at the top of the table with 18 points. Manchester City and Arsenal managed to get 17 points. So if a team loses a match, we will see a big change in the table position.

Arsenal got a great win today with a 3-1 win over Southampton. From the beginning the Arsenal team attacked strongly and till the last minute they managed to win and most of the people bet on Arsenal today and they won. Although there were no goals between the two teams in the first half of the game, both teams attacked strongly in the first half, although Southampton scored early in the second half and later Arsenal attacked with three more goals to win the match. After winning today's match, the team is in the third position in the points table. Although Manchester City's points and Arsenal's points are equal, Liverpool are currently at the top of the points table.

Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal as expected were able to achieve 3 points perfectly, Chelsea will follow tomorrow to maintain the 4th position in the standings. So far all 4 clubs are in a promising mode and very difficult to stop. Arsenal was initially pressed behind 1 goal but was able to turn things around quickly, while Liverpool was only able to maintain 1 goal until the end, for Man City there is indeed no reason to lose to Fulham even though they were a little worried when Fulham scored their 2nd goal in the 88th minute.
