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.

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. Therefore, when we talk about quality players in different playing positions, we should not forget about the person who uses these quality players correctly. Without forgetting, of course, how much it costs and who provides this magnificent masquerade ball Wink And yes, Pep Guardiola usually does not like to stay in one place for a very long time, so really maybe these boring championships of Pep in Manchester City will end and the equally boring championships of Newcastle will begin, perhaps under the leadership of the same Guardiola Grin
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.

I would also not expect too much from Manchester United in this season if I were a Manchester United fan. Because it is already obvious that they are going to need a long time to recover and reach a high level in their performance. We saw their performance against Wolves too and it was horrible. They can still end the season in top 4 though but it seems really difficult as long as their nearest competitors play like now. But if they make it, even this would be a big success for them considering their performance.

As one of United fans, I can say that I do not expect anything from it at all this season in terms of the result (of course it would be cool to win Champions League and there is still a chance, even now), but I hope that United will at least find their game and one can hope for a good next season. At the moment, United does not look like a top club at all (although it is top in terms of players line-up) and is more likely to fight the middle peasants than seriously threaten the top of the table.

To be honest, I do not understand how Rangnick became the manager of Manchester United. In my understanding, this is not a top coach and he is definitely no better for Solskjaer. It seems as if the owners of the club want save money where it is absolutely impossible to do so. At some point it might seem that things are going better in Manchester, but this is not so. I will say that nothing has changed in the club, and the team still needs a real high-level coach.

Manchester United just didn't want to search for a permanent manager and they rushed things. As a result, they signed an interim manager who is Ralf Rangnick. There were big names who were speculated to join this team. But none of them ended up here. And this temporary solution might not be very good for them in the long run. They should have made a better roadmap for themselves and secured the rest of the season too. They just made their plans for the next season as it seems.

Man United's management is indeed in search of the right manager, therefore after Solskjaer left Man United. So Man United is not in a hurry to decide
who will become the main manager of Man United permanently. Because Man United does not want to repeat the previous mistakes when making
David Moyes, Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho as main managers. So Man United only made Ralf Rangnick a interim manager, there have been
many names that are rumored to be the main manager at Man United next season. But it seems that Man United's management hasn't  made
a decision yet, so we all still have to wait for who is finally chosen to be the main manager at Man United. It is not easy to find a great manager
like Alex Ferguson, who managed to provide the most trophies for Man United. Man United supporters do have to be patient and entrust everything
to the management of Man United.

Teamwork is the key to all victories. Mutual trust in each player's ability to other players. Provide trust in accordance with the duties in each line. Big clubs like Manchester United really have to change the flow from relying on one main center, now they have to give that trust to other players even better to all as a solid team. Ronaldo is already in a period that is no longer ideal like the first time he was at Manchester United. There have been a lot of changes and every club that Man United has faced has also grown more than before.
The Premier League is one of the best competition in the world today and it is only natural that every team should perform better by continuing to compete with other team. No team is completely weak because any team playing in the premier league can make it difficult for its opponent even if the opponent is a top team.

Usually the biggest mistake that top team make is when they underestimate the team that are considered weak, it makes them lose some where the team that are considered weak can play better. The Premier League is not just a competition between team, but coach and players continue to compete to be the best in every season. This is why the Premier League is one of the best at the moment.
