Everyone should just avoid betting on Manchester city to win any of their matches for now till they are able to return back to form and make a convincing performance before we can consider betting on them. Manchester City's current drop in performance is really disheartening because for the past decade Manchester City has been in the limelight of English football but the recent crisis rocking the team is really worth looking into because we all know that the club has one of the best coaches in the world and they also have a good squad but for them to continue underperforming for over 8 weeks sends a message that a team can have the best squad and still decline in performance. Manchester City should be avoided in our bets except for someone who wants to bet on other options but betting Manchester City to win will be a very big risk of losing your staking amount.

We will not know the time when and when Manchester City plays against which team, until Manchester City really manages to start its rise this season. So, betting for the opposing team, at least at the same time we also worry that Manchester City will rise but, betting for Manchester City also we will always worry that Manchester City is still in a bad trend. Thus, I think it is difficult to make the right choice, even though Manchester City will only play against a team that is in the relegation zone, that there is still no guarantee that Manchester City will actually get a victory. But yes, because Pep Guardiola is still considered capable of restoring Manchester City in the near future, then at least the hope for victory for the match to be played will always have hope for victory.

I strongly opposed your opinion about the English Premier League being one of the easiest leagues when it comes to predictions of games. I've been watching the English Premier League for over a decade and the part of your submission i agree with is where you talked about the league having different elites however, we still see clubs with very little probability ratios of winning go on to beat the supposed big teams.
Manchester City have dominated the English Premier League for the last four seasons but this season, they've not been able to keep up with the their dominance. That's because other clubs have improved and worked on their lapses when facing Manchester City. Manchester City this season will be very luck if they succeed to finish the season in the top four

That's a disgusting result. They let Fulham to break a record for their first win in away game against Chelsea after 45 years. I'd blame Maresca for being stubborn for not to put some creativity by doing some subs.

I know it was one of his best squad, but they looked so damn clueless in the second half. The first was better, but totally outplayed by Fulham in the late game. Their stats show how pathetic they were. They declined so hard like no motivation to score. They deserved this pathetic lost.

Leicester City is actually not in good form currently, so the chances of Manchester City winning tomorrow's game is slightly possible, despite the fact to have lost complete 9 straight Premier and Championships games, drew 2 and won 1 of recent. And considering the fact that Manchester City's odd to win is 1.25, whereas the odd for draw is 5 and likewise the odd for Leicester City to win is 8 odds. But considering the poor performance of both clubs, and the fact that Leicester City will be playing at home. I predict this game is likely to end with both team scoring at least 1 goal each.

I think this is the worst season for Pep Guardiola during his coaching career. He has really struggled to get the best performance from his team this season and this has never happened before with Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is actually an expert in his field, but somehow his team is really having trouble winning game after game.

This season Pep Guardiola may have to forget about his big plans to defend his 5th consecutive title in the Premier League, because the team's performance has really changed. Players seem to work hard to score goals, but they are very slow and often fail to finish. Defense is weak, creativity is reduced, as is goal productivity. So this is a big disaster for Pep Guardiola and so far he is trying to get out of the problem of this very poor team performance.

Manchester City are really in a critical challenge now that it very difficult for them to win their games, even teams which they are far better than in performance before but right now they struggle to win average team. With the number of games Manchester City have failed to win  in this season their is no need to rely so much on them when it comes to betting. For now let's just have it in mind Manchester City is not that strong team that we used to know in premier league. The present performance of Manchester City should be use as a guide to tell what their performance may be in upcoming games.

I may have been a bit reckless and bet on Man City to win, it doesn't have to be a big bet so I'll do it one more time to see how far Man City can go. It's only a few bucks I guess it won't matter as long as I'm prepared to lose
Let's see if they can end this bad run, at least for the game against Leicester City.

Honestly I never expected this worst performance from Pep Guardiola who was once rated as one of the best manager in the world, I think the team is underperforming presently partly due to their aging players example Gundogan, Silva, Walker, Kevin Debryne and injured Rodri and ne few signings are not effective, Doku, Sarvinho etc hasn't live up to expectations, moreso the likes of Halaand, Grealish, Doku and Foden are average players now without much impact in most of their matches, their next match is away against bottom Leceister City I hope they win that match else they would continue to strutill the end of the season.

It was easy last 4 years until things turn around. It was so easy to predict Manchester City to win the Premier League because they were winning every games they got there hands on and from that performances, it was too obvious, only Arsenal was challenging them that time but one could tell how it was hard for them to compete that if they had won, one will say they got lucky by winning but unfortunately, in all of their trying times they couldn't match their energy.

However, of recent teams has improves that to predict the winner is very difficult. Liverpool are the only team that can likely win but even them, when you think they are not going to lose, they do and allow other teams to get closer and then they change afterwards to do better. My mind is still with Liverpool to win this league, no team are worthy to challenge them for now unless if they misused the chance they have created so far in the table.

Liverpool is playing great in this series.  Arsenal have been competing brilliantly with Liverpool but now Arsenal are 2 matches behind. Now if they win 2 matches more than Liverpool they will be level on points. Meanwhile, Man City, the most talked about team in the Premier League, has fallen far behind in the points table. And Man city's performance doesn't seem like they can return to the top position in this series.  Leicester City play Manchester City tomorrow here is a chance for Man City to collect points by winning an easy match.

I don't want to speculate that this is the end of Pep Guardiola with Man City, even though their performance is very messy this season. We know very well that betting on City seems very risky, they look like a team that is struggling to recover. In their last five matches, they only won one, that was in the 14th week, in the remaining matches they lost and last week they were held to a draw by Everton at the Etihad. Again I didn't expect City to be this exhausted, a team that always appears strong but this time they are starting to be eliminated from the trophy race. It seems that Pep needs something to raise the motivation of his players, because it would be very bad for them if they don't get back on track. It doesn't have to be to compete again in the title race, because the current points are quite far from Liverpool. Although in football nothing is impossible, it seems that Pep only needs to focus on getting his team back to its best performance. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with trying a new formula. On the contrary to what you said, I hope Pep is able to lift City's performance back to its true level. because, it would not be fun if this team experienced a decline in performance, especially if one of the inhibiting factors was because their players were injured.

Yes, in this season the matches in the English league are indeed difficult to predict, the surprise this week is that the top ranked teams or those who previously had extraordinary performance had to fall to the middle ranked teams including Man City. Pep's troops are no longer a team that we can rely on in 1x2 betting, I have experienced too many defeats from 1x2, maybe it's better to bet on a few goals in the future. BTW, now Arsenal is back in second place in the standings, a narrow win against Ipswich Town brought them to that position, shifting Chelsea.

Successfully holding Arsenal and Chelsea to a draw, of course this has increased the confidence of Everton players. So this should have been a match that could have been predicted from the start about what the final result would be.

Currently, Man City has not been able to return to winning ways, the team continues to experience setbacks and the coach has not been able to find a solution and strategy to really return City to winning ways. And for the next Man City will face the lower team, Leicester City, and I hope Man City can win this match.

Meanwhile, more about Everton, for the next few weeks they will continue to face quite tough opponents, and will soon face the top team, Nottingham Forest. And I am quite curious about what surprises Everton will give in the match against Bottingham Forest

The transfer window is closed by already, January is this coming week, we expect Pep Guardiola to be really busy in strengthening his squad, after that I guess things might be a little better and may even get better with time. Also, I hope they can add another nine for alternative to Haaland to be honest, if Julián Alvarez was still available their attack won't be this bad, anyway Pep will be hoping Haaland find his feet in goals again.
These are issues team faces sometimes and Pep getting similar challenges shows it is not an exception for any coach, things might not go as plan but how and when they bounce back that makes the difference.

This season has been absolutely crazy. Lots of surprises happen and teams that last season had to struggle to avoid relegation, now they are playing with full confidence and it is really confusing to choose which odds we should take. No one would have expected that Man City would slump like this, therefore before they get 3 wins in a row, so it would be very risky to bet on Man City.

It is not surprising when Manchester City failed to win the match against Everton because Everton is indeed in high confidence and also on the other hand Manchester City is in a slump now.
Regardless of the final result, I highlight the performance of the Manchester City players who seem to have no confidence and even the chemistry with each other is very bad, especially when Halaand failed to execute a penalty which made him very frustrated.

Now there is no other choice for Pep Guardiola but to make a major overhaul in the January transfer window, and Manchester City management must support that in order to get this team out of its slump.

Previously I thought in the near future manchester city would rise, but the draw from everton also indicates that they are still in a critical and unconvincing condition at this time, Guardiola, who previously never had a losing streak, this season he really got a test in his career as a coach, what happened to Guardiola at this time is really concerning but I don't think it will be a stain that erases all his achievements so far, I personally also began to think about not betting on Manchester City with  bad condition like now, while the failure to win over everton is not something strange at this time considering Arsenal and Chelsea failed to win over everton.

Well as it's stand now in the premier league, I think only a crazy gambler would even think of playing Manchester city to actually win because Manchester city and infact the entire premier league is no safe zone for gamblers cause the end results of almost most of the matches this period is way off as the entire teams in the league are playing like they want to lift the trophy. As for Manchester city and pep guadiola, the formula is no longer working and he should just let it be and move on before his entire coaching career become dented cause of this one bad season.

the question is, can you comfortably bet that Leicester can win this game even though we are not sure of what is happening to man city as it stands? go check out the odds and the win probability that is still given to Manchester city despite their poor form and you can tell that it might just take a single game for them to bounce right back.  if city cannot beat an 18th position Leicester that is still struggling not to be relegated, then this definitely is the worse of them and we can be certain that this is more than a cause that is affecting Manchester city.

on a normal day, this a game that city can even rest a lot of their players and still win this game comfortably but unfortunately, the reality has put the coach and the players in a position where they have to play every game as though it is the biggest game they are going to get feature in for the season. after a 1:1 draw against Everton in the boxing day my faith in them has reduce but this is going to still be a smoth win for them.
