Their meeting statistics in the last 5 matches and Man City always wins the match against West Ham I think it is no longer an accurate statistic because this season Man City has different, yes even though in the last match Man City won its match against Leicester City but I think Man City's performance has not fully improved and I better avoid betting on Man City first and watch the changes that Pep Guardiola will make in the middle of this season if Man City starts to improve I will again favor Man City in every match.

A 6-point advantage over Arsenal means Liverpool can continue to maintain the top of the standings without pressure, especially since that number could increase if they manage to win one remaining match. After Chelsea lost two games in a row, Arsenal has now taken over second place and become the team that will give Liverpool competition. But the problem is that Arsenal always slip up every now and then, when they are close to achieving their goals, they always lose important points and that is a fact that has happened in the last two seasons.

Manchester United management hasn't really been imposing players on Manchester managers. They always allow their managers to make the list of player they want. I don't know Manchester United management as people who usually impose players on their coaches, right from the era of Alex Ferguson that I started following Manchester United. Let's take Ten Hag for example, he was backed up with funds to get whatever players he wants in his team and he got them. Chelsea are the only team I know in the premier League that usually impose players on their manager. Manchester United problem seems to be spiritual because they have gotten lots of players and managers yet nothing seems to be working.

with Liverpool's increasingly high points, of course, it will make Arsenal and Chelsea want to see Liverpool lose, but of course it seems that Liverpool will certainly be difficult to beat by the La Liga team and it seems that Arsenal and Chelsea's wishes will be difficult to realize, but of course it is not impossible that Liverpool will encounter defeat in the future and yes, with Liverpool's way, there are those who beat other teams, so that is one of the only ways for Chelsea and Arsenal to move up the rankings. Indeed, with Jurgen Klopp's departure, Liverpool's performance will certainly decline, but in fact, now Arne Slot is better than Jurgen Klopp and this will certainly make Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams difficult to see Liverpool lose.

but of course Chelsea is currently making progress, but of course we don't know whether Enzo will be able to maintain his good performance or not because his performance is currently not good and there is a decline.

Brentford does have a good comparison at home but overall in their last 5 games before playing Arsenal their performance was very bad so I am not surprised with the final result for Arsenal's victory and even Arsenal was able to win this match easily despite being 1 goal behind at the beginning of the match but I watched this match and Arsenal did dominate.

Arsenal's performance is now quite good in my opinion, they only had a little difficulty at the beginning of the season so now they are a few points behind Liverpool at the top of the standings so for the second half of the season Arsenal just need to maintain the consistency of their performance in my opinion.

We see Liverpool in the best form since Slot joined this team and they were awesome during this time because of the results we saw from Liverpool so far. The other teams like Chelsea and Arsenal should hope to see Liverpool lose some points otherwise they can never take the pale of Liverpool in the first place of the Premier League. Now since Liverpool getting good results we should forget about their superstar player Salah.
Salah was even about to leave in the last season because of the offer he got from the Saudi League but he decided to stay in Liverpool and play there for a longer time.
Checking the performance of this player we can understand Salah was one of the best players in the Premier League.
Salah contributed in 30 goals for Liverpool duiring this season. 17 goals and 13 assists, maybe without Salah Liverpool could never have had this good performance.

I think Arsenal's match against Brentford perfectly showcased how a team can overcome lineup issues and still secure a result. Missing key players like Havertz, Saka, and Rice, the Gunners started with strong pressure but conceded first due to Odegaard's mistake in midfield. Mbeumo, who shone in Brentford's attack, later made a crucial error, allowing Jesus to equalize with a rebound.
In the second half, Arsenal looked much sharper. Set pieces made the difference, with goals from a corner and effective pressing turning the tide. Merino and Nwaneri deserve special mention, while Partey was a rock in midfield. The 3-1 win was a solid return to second place in the table, but without Raya's heroic save in the first half, things could have gone very differently.

Is not like Liverpool need to use this point gap as the guarantee of winning the league,, fine they have a game at hand but can they utilize it? Nobody knows when Slot will lose. I still feel they have more challenges ahead of them even the Gunners too. I believe the title race is between Liverpool and Arsenal and as for Chelsea I don't think they can continue challenging for the title and we might be seeing the other side of them (performing poorly) since they have lost straight two games. If I'm Arteta I won't rely on any team to win before we have to win the league title this time around, like you said they have to be serious and convert any little chances they have, this is not the time to be wasting opportunities like before.

Yeah, you can say that Brentford's performance at home are pretty above average because in their last five home games, they were able to win three and lose two but this time around Arsenal were not willing to add to their tally of teams they have won at home and instead cancelled their desires of moving further than their 12th place. A win should have seen them being above Tottenham Hotspur for the time being.

Bowen's injury is a disaster for Westham. He's the only player that can help his club's tempo. He is consistently brilliant this season, and Westham is sinking without him. It's hard to believe he will be out until February, and Soucek may be taking armband from him.

Kudus has to step up in order to meet Bowen's quality. I don't even see chance for them to survive if they were not buying new player to replace Bowen temporary.

Due to what Manchester City is facing. The club is ready to take a few players in the upcoming transfer windows and they are active for January. The interesting part of it all is that they are very ambitious in the level of players/talents they've shortlisted. Bruno Guimares, Jasmal Misiala, Florian Wirtz, Martin Zubimendi, Marc Guehi are the players who are in the top target for Manchester City.

Based on the skill level of these players i am fully aware how much they are willing to spare to get these players if they completely get all. The bid for those players will be high obviously but Manchester City is willing to make the sacrifice to get back to the top.

Of course one of the major advantage Arsenal has is their central midfield and the attacking midfield, that is the fulcrum to which Arsenal has been using to sustain its pressure whenever an attack from an opponent is intensed, that is why you will always notice the likes of Thomas Partey will be coming back at the defence help out and also helping to force the attack upfront, but as for Arsenal central defence, that is nothing to write home about, is very porous and that is why any Sharp attacker can easily meander his way out and score which is exactly what the Brentford attacker did to score that first goal. Arsenal needs to get solid defence line like Liverpool for them to withstand Sharp attackers, else the goal keeper can only do a little.

Upsets like this shows the beauty of the Premier League, where smaller teams with less squad depth and quality of players can outplay bigger clubs. The teams in the relegation zone can be deadly to face because they are fighting with everything they have to avoid dropping to a lower division. Their desperation and determination often result in highly spirited performance making them unpredictable and challenging opponents. Ipswich's win over Chelsea was indeed a surprise. Matches like this remind us of the importance of never underestimating any opponent regardless of their league position. Ipswich took advantage of Chelsea's tactical lapses.

Arsenal has been known as a club that always gives their rivals the opportunity to overtake them in the league table at the end of the Premier League season, which allows Arsenal to finish in the second place of the Premier League table. In the past two seasons in the Premier League, Liverpool was in Arsenal's position, but at some point, injury made Liverpool drop out of the Premier League title race, which gave Arsenal the opportunity to lead the Premier League table with a big point difference over Manchester City, but at the end of the Premier League, they started losing their matches as usual, and Manchester City overtook Arsenal in the league table when the season was about to end, and Manchester City won the Premier League title in the past two seasons.

In the match between Brentford vs Arsenal,, team Arsenal successfully defeated Brentford with 3-1 score and replaced Nottm Forest and is currently standing in second position in the qualifying table with having 37 points. After analysis, I found Arsenal defeated Brentford four more time head to head match out of five matches where one match was draw. It indicates, how strong Arsenal is. Although Liverpool is at the top with seven more points and one match in hand to play. Whatever, in the yesterday's match, Brentford tried their best from beginning to dominate the field and thus they keep continued. B. Mbeumo first goal at 13th minutes behalf of Brentford where goalkeeper was about to defend but failed. Afterwards a dengerous shot was done but Arsenal successfully defensed the ball. And then Arsenal active their killer mode. G. Jesus scored a goal with his head at 29th minutes and equalizer the score. Afterwards the start of second half, M. Merino and G. Martinelli scored two goal back to back within 3 minutes, one was at 50th minutes and another one was at 53th minutes and thus Arsenal went to leading position afterwards they focus and defense and didn't give any opportunity to their opponent for score a single goal. And finally they achieve the victory as expected

Jarrod Bowen performance is not really good when West Ham facing Liverpool that i can see he was very difficult to broke Liverpool defensive lines but he is important player for West Ham because for Premier league Jarrod Bowen is West Ham top scorer and for goalkeeper position i can see Lukasz Fabianski still got the injury but so far Alphonse Areola can performing good as second goalkeeper

West Ham has just humiliate by Liverpool with huge scores and now they have to facing Manchester City which this is not good for them because within few days West Ham have to facing big clubs twice and for Manchester City they were very confident can able to beat West Ham today and certainly they can able to do that

In as much as Manchester United are experiencing difficulties, it doesn't mean that Ruben Amorim is not a good coach. Manchester United are in transition and it takes time for a team in transition to balance and be able to find their rhythm and get back to winning ways. Though Manchester United might be struggling now and are in the bottom half on the standings, I am very confident with Amorim as the head coach, he will surely navigate them out of their present situation and bring them back to winning ways again.

Jarrod Bowen is reportedly out on injury and will be absent for the match against Manchester City but I don’t think his absence will have much influence on the outcome of the match. I don't think WestHam will miss Jarrod Bowen when they have Ghanaian star Muhammed Kudus and German goal scorer Niclas Füllkrug, both players are capable of stepping up and making the difference in matches for them. Manchester City have been poor this season so there is every possibility that WestHam can be able to cause an upset against Manchester City even without their captain Jarrod Bowen.

Last season, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool competed closely since the middle of the season and took turns occupying first place. But in the end, Liverpool failed towards the end and were quite far behind in points. Meanwhile, Arsenal remained at the top for a long time and in the weeks before the season ended, unfortunately Arsenal failed to maintain themselves at the top. And Manchester City won the title again as usual. And unexpected things happened this season. Namely, Liverpool dominated from the start and have remained at the top for a long time until now. I hope that what happened last season does not happen again where Liverpool started to lose their consistency towards the end, just like Arsenal. But this season Manchester City no longer seems to be a big obstacle. And now the competition may be between Arsenal and Liverpool. I'm not sure who will win but whoever these two teams win is they really deserve it.

Only 8 points difference from the leader of the standings Liverpool is not an easy thing indeed, but if they maintain their consistency then Arsenal could put up a fight for Liverpool, no one knows at the end of the season, whether Arsenal will be able to overtake or on the contrary they will fail again like in previous seasons, with their failure in the last few seasons to win the Premier League title.
