Hopefully, we can watch a high-tempo match between Everton and Leicester in three days. This is one of their missing matches. And both teams have three matches missing due to covid-19 cases in the teams. Especially if Leicester manage to score before Everton, we might watch a more enjoyable match. Leicester have been more effective in attacking and scoring so far. I'm expecting them to maintain this level here too.

Toffees will be glad with the return of Calvert-Lewin but still they weren't able to perform with him back in the team in last match. On other hand, Foxes are playing some fine football at the moment so Leicester are the heavy favourites here. They have Vardy, Daka, Iheanacho and in top of that James Maddison is also on form so I think it will be very hard for Everton to win this one. Still Calvert-Lewin could become a problem for Leicester defence so I wouldn't really undermine Everton here as well but Leicester are clear favourites in my opinion.

We must also pay tribute to Josep Guardiola, who, as the head coach of the team, quite successfully copes with the rotation within the team and the ambitions of the players about their position in the team and playing time.
Manchester City had big ambition when they decided to sign Guardiola as coach, they knew Guardiola had the quality worth the money they spent winning title after title they fought for with different players and coach. And we can see a big difference in the achievements of Manchester City since his arrival until now. Truly he has created something great that the fans and everyone at Manchester City will remember. Every fan deserves praise for him and everyone on the team.

Manchester City have quite good back-up players as well as the quality of the main players, when some of the main players get injured they don't really think about substitutes because they have fairly equal quality, for example in the defender position they have many choices in this position for example from Stone , Ake, and Dias plus Walker's position can be shifted to a defender.
We know Manchester City are a rich team who will really help the coach to get the players he wants. This has helped Guardiola achieve the team's ambitions in the Premier League where their dominance as title winners since his arrival is evident. Only the Champions League is really difficult for them but I believe if Pep Guardiola wants to stay longer then he can do it with City too. That is the big ambition of the team and everyone there, so they need maximum optimism and effort.

Tottenham of course did the right thing by bringing Antonio Conte as their new manager to the team. And we are seeing the Conte effect in the Premier League right now. They haven't lost even for once in eight games since he joined the team. He is definitely a great manager and it looks like the players are contented with him already now. But there is another truth too that they still don't perform great. But in time, I believe that they will get better in performance also. Tottenham are one of the biggest candidates for the 4th position in the league standings.

I saw on sky sports this morning an interview by Antonio Conte and I realized how Tottenham made a great decision bringing him in, he said he didn't sigh a long contract because he wanted to be sure how the Tottenham board are prepare to work and support him,to know how ambitious they are,and he made mention of his huge salary and expect Tottenham to see  good work from him before they talk about new contract.

Antonio Conte does have a very good track record as a football manager, almost all the big teams he has coached won trophies. So it is very lucky
for Tottenham to have a great coach like Conte, even Tottenham's performance is getting better when Conte officially becomes  Tottenham manager.
Tottenham's position in the Premier League is getting closer to the top 4 position, it seems Conte is able to make Tottenham in the top 4 at the end of
this season. Then regarding the duration of Conte's contract at Tottenham which is only 18 months, Conte said he wanted to see how much
support Tottenham had to match his ambitions. So the short-term contract is mutually beneficial for both parties, but if we look at Tottenham's
performance so far which is quite good, It is very likely that Conte will have his contract extended for the long term by Tottenham.

Manchester City really have ended all the competition for the title in this season already. It has started becoming frustrating for me to see them widening the gap earlier in the league and becoming the champions easily at the end. If I'm not wrong, we saw the same scenario two times in the recent years. They are just awesome about doing this. I don't see the same level of motivation in any team. This is of course a great privilege for Manchester City. But this makes spectators angry when they start seeing the same team winning the title like this multiple times in a short time period.  Grin  But at least, there is no huge dominance of any team in this league unlike Bayern Munich's unbelievable dominance in the Bundesliga.  Cheesy
Manchester City have players of almost equal quality in every position, and they deserve to lead the League far better than any other team. I think this is their era of glory and you can't be frustrated because Manchester City won't be able to maintain this quality forever. At the start of the season they weren't very good, but they managed to do well when the other team let their guard down and had a slump.

They might win the title if they maintain their best record until the end of the season, but things can change even in the last few match before the end of the season.
Manchester City have quite good back-up players as well as the quality of the main players, when some of the main players get injured they don't really think about substitutes because they have fairly equal quality, for example in the defender position they have many choices in this position for example from Stone , Ake, and Dias plus Walker's position can be shifted to a defender.

In contrast to Manchester United who do not have many options in several positions and if the main player is injured the coach is difficult to find players who have the same ability.
The advantage of a team that has material players who have almost the same quality is in doing rotations. such as in a state of illness or injury, of course, replacing with a substitute player is not difficult. I think the rotation is necessary and it keeps the performance from the consistency of the game.
Man City has it but indeed for Man United, it will be difficult to apply replacements for the main squad players who cannot play. that's because of the lack of choice and the difference in the quality of the main and reserve squads.
Without a doubt, Manchester City have the best squad and the best manager in the history of football in the entire galaxy, which is why they always do well and also great results.
Manchester City have an almost perfect squad of all starting players as well as substitutes and it's all because they have a smart manager to create a very good team overall.
and to compare with Manchester United or any other team depends on the manager playing a role for his team.

I’m a Manchester United fan but I have no shame in saying that City is playing top class football and totally deserves the title, and on the other hand Manchester United are yet not ready to challenge for the title, but I hope they’ll challenge for it next season.

Lastly even without a striker City have achieved this feat which is really remarkable, but next season they’ll not find it so easy or at least I hope other teams will step up and make the premier league title race more competitive again.

Ever since Rangnick took over, the teams are probably still trying to adapt to the new strategy. Even Bruno isnt included in the starting lineup nowadays because he cant adapt to the new one yet
This is what's bothering me. Bruno is a decent player and he could be forced out if the new manager doesn't think he would fit into his system. We've seen the same thing in the past with other teams as well. It would be a waste if that happens.
That’s one of the problems with having an attacking midfielder in a team. They do not fit in other formations except a 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-1-2 formation. We have been seeing how they have been omitted from the game plan of a team by many Coaches; Starting from Isco, James Rodríguez, Phillipe Coutinho. These are all attacking midfielders but since these coaches decided to introduce a 4-3-3 formation, it doesn’t suit an attacking midfielder, it only requires three central midfields and they’re sent to the bench. That’s why Bruno Fernandes suffers in the National team when Santos plays his 4-3-3 formation, Bruno is forced to play as one of the sided midfielders, he doesn’t play well, and most times he’s left on the Bench. Ralf Rangnick wants a pressing football, Bruno doesn’t fit that style of play and it’s affecting the team. He needs to play another formation that will involve everyone.

You guys talk as if Manchester City are just doing well because  they have great players,you don't praise pep for his work, comparing city squad with Liverpool and Chelsea and Manchester United is not much different in term of quality.Vincent company, yaya toure, David Silva and kun Aguero have all left but you won't notice it because of the constant thinking of pep.

Arsenal has lot chance to move to 2nd place since Chelsa is really going back with dissatisfying performances and Liverpool as well will be challenged by Arsenal's constant best performances. Yes though Arsenal lost their last match against Man City the top most team, they did really play well against them. It was really a challenging match. Arsenal will not find hard to win the upcoming match against Nottm Forest on 9th Jan but the match on 14th against Liverpool is going to be an important match for both teams to hold 2nd place in the table. Eagerly awaiting for 14th Jan.  
A reminder to your post Arsenal is playing Nottm Forest on Sunday which is an FA cup not a league match, the second match when they play Liverpool that will be first leg Carabao Cup on 14th January, EPL table remains as it stand until the league matches resume next week provided that there isn't any cancellations due to Covid-19, clubs above Arsenal that is Chelsea and Liverpool will consolidate their positions, clubs below them on table wouldn't find it easy to catch-up with them, both clubs are as well trying to close on table leader Man City.

In about an hour, the first match in the Chelsea - Tottenham confrontation will begin. It is difficult to predict how the teams will play in the League Cup, but maybe it is worth considering that may be Chelsea will continue their draw streak?

Chelsea 1.96
draw 3.35
Tottenham Hotspur 4,00

At least the odds of this happening are very good.

The odds for a draw are fine. I think Chelsea will beat Tottenham. If I were to think of it as a bet, instead of a draw, I would have predicted that Chelsea would win. There is little time left before the game starts. Arsenal-Liverpool match postponed due to coronavirus. The first finalist will be determined with the result of this match.

You were right, indeed Chelsea were able to interrupt their unsuccessful streak and win. And the result is good not only in the score but also in the quality of the game - Chelsea looked much stronger. But this match did not determine the first finalist, this clash consists of two matches and ahead of the return match on January 12th. Liverpool and Arsenal will play their first leg on 13 January.

Pretty sure that most fans are not really expecting that much from Ronaldo because the whole team is responsible for this. Most players are not performing as they used to be and Rangnick is trying to get them back on form so essentially the fans are expecting Manchester United as a team to win not just Ronaldo.

Ever since Rangnick took over, the teams are probably still trying to adapt to the new strategy. Even Bruno isnt included in the starting lineup nowadays because he cant adapt to the new one yet
I am one of the people who think Ralf Rangnick won't bring Manchester United back to glory. The fact that he knows he's an interim manager alone is enough. He's not under any sort of pressure to produce results.

I always though Manchester United could build themselves around Bruno Fernandez. He's that typical playmaker you need in a team. At least all of us saw what he was capable of, even during the time everyone thought Ole was shit. Well things are now playing out so differently for him.

It wouldn't be good for Manchester United supporters to rely on Cristiano Ronaldo mostly from now on. And the game plan of the team shouldn't be like this too. Because he is not in the old days anymore. He isn't performing at the same level even though he seems to score still. The most important thing that Manchester United need to do is to build a solid team play. This is Rangnick's responsibility mostly.

Players, staff and coaches have the same big responsibility for all the results the team gets in the game, I think ragnick right now still needs a lot of time to get back to making manchester united better and of course the fans should be aware of that, I think OGS all this time left a lot of homework to be done now by Rangnick at Manchester and of course it's not an easy job, but to be honest I don't mean to underestimate Rangnick performance in Manchester now, but I actually see if Michael Carrick previously is doing  job still better than from Rangnick today.

The league is still open for the top four position. It would’ve been Manchester United place had it been they grabbed more points from their games. They had about four outstanding games and only managed to grab only 7 points out of 12. And they were all easy fixtures for them. Now Arsenal, West ham United and Tottenham seems more serious about this top four position and considering their next 3 games in the EPL, West ham United has more easy fixtures than Arsenal and Tottenham. They have Norwich City and Leeds United and Manchester United. Why Tottenham will be playing against Arsenal and Leicester city and Chelsea. And Arsenal will play Tottenham, Burnley and Wolverhampton. Westham United has the advantage to displace Arsenal from that 4th place in these games. They were there before and I know they will cement is this time around.
Wolves game definitely hurt their chances, but it is understandable because Wolves are a great team if you ask me, they may not be showing that in the results so far but they are definitely one of the better teams. If United managed to get that, they would have been 34 points and be tied with the 4th position West Ham and just 1 points behind Arsenal as well.

There is still the second stage of the league so I am guessing that they will get better. They got rid of Ole with the thought that they would be better in the second part of the season so if they can get better than it means they are going to be in the top 4 position surely, since they are already so close to it.
