I think the race to qualify for the Uefa Champions League next season among the English Premier League teams would be very intense as Manchester United are starting to pick up a lot of points after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became the new manager at Manchester United, they are starting to catch up with Arsenal on the table now with 35 points, even though Chelsea is currently holding the 4th spot with 43 points on the table, but Arsenal and Manchester United could still catch up with Chelsea fairly easily if Chelsea mess up a few games.

I'll agree the race for the fourth spot has just caught pace, had Manchester United yet been under Mourinho I'm sure all three matches would have ended in defeat. There're three people responsible for Manchester United revival Ole Solskjaer, Mike Phelan and Paul Pogba these three have united to lift the club up. I feel if Tottenham also suffers losses along with Chelsea it'll get really interesting.

I expected that Tottenham will be competitive this year in the chase of the championship title. They seem inadequate and I hope that Chelsea is going to win against them. As Far as Man.Utd is concerned, it is noticeable that the players didn't want Mourinho to seat on the bench. This was probably due to mismanagement that he did (we saw that many times in different clubs that he was in charge of).

I can't see a fight for the 4th place. I believe that Man. Utd can't compete. Chelsea or Tottenham will be at 3rd and 4th places at the end of the season.

Three points are an absolute target for Man City.

And they got the 3 points. Watched the game and it was a walk in the park for City, the game could've easily ended with 5 or 6 goals for Man City if it wasn't for McCarthy with some great saves.

Also watched Crystal Palace vs Chelsea...dreadful game, aside from Kante's goal, Chelsea did nothing, a few shots and that's it, and Crystal Palace didn't have a single shot on target, hell, they couldn't even get past Chelsea's midfield, except for the last 5 minutes where they finally started to play some proper football.

And last but not least, watched the Man Utd vs Bournemouth game. Great game from Manchester, it's like the players have found that appetite they lost with Mou to play offensive football and score a bunch of goals, especially Pogba, he was immense today. I still think they need to work on the defence, they haven't been able to keep a clean sheet under Solskjaer (just 3 games, but still), but overall, this team is looking pretty good.

So Spurs couldn’t handle the pressure of being in a title race. Big pressure on Nan City today, anything other than a win for them would be catastrophic to their hopes of retaining the PL title.

Who are ‘Nan City’

No, seriously I know what you mean. Man City will beat S’ton today, they have to.

Yes, Manchester City have to win today's match against Southampton and if they can't handle it, then the opportunity for them to chase Liverpool at the top of the table will be even more difficult. Three points are an absolute target for Man City.

You will have a good chance if Manchester City do not win tomorrow, if they do , you can always fight for the draw at Etihad stadium and can try to make a good counter attack. That would end any doubt but I think you will be the champions this year.

I have a strong feeling Manchester City are going to bounce back with their next two games and even though that will make the league competitive and all to fight for again i still think Liverpool have a special intangible quality that the pother teams do not have and could help them on their way to annex the trophy this season.

Liverpool won 5-1...I definitely didn't expect such a scoreline, though I think the Gunners deserved to be punished for their horrid defensive display today. Now imagine the boost in confidence ths game will give to Pool before the match against City next thursday.

In other news, Spurs lost their game and they're now 9 points behind the leaders...out of the title race already? that was fast lol

Leicester City have managed to beat Manchester City in their recent home game and I think this result must have shocked a lot of football fans, so I believe Leicester City should be able to claim a victory against Cardiff City easily today as the defense of Cardiff City are always pretty bad whenever they are playing away from their home stadium. The odds payout for Leicester City to win the match in full time is not too bad, I guess I will place a small bet on this match and hopefully Leicester City will not disappoint me today.

That is what most people have bet on but after the missed penalty kick and the opportunity for the tap in from the deflection was missed most people gave up on them to win.
Cardiff scored in the first minute of the injury time for them to take their first away win in the league.
Today is full of upsets as Wolverton beat Tottenham at Wembley too.

If Liverpool loses then the end of the year jinx of the top teams will be complete.

It seems that most of the English Premier League matches played recently are full of surprising result at full time, Leicester City had the best chance to score with the penalty kick, even though the first shot was saved by the goalkeeper but James Maddison clearly have enough time to tap in the deflection, I wonder why is he reacting so slow to the ball and even the defender of Cardiff City reacted faster than him and cleared the ball away. The match result between Tottenham and Wolverhampton Wanderers is pretty unbelievable too as Wolverhampton Wanderers have managed to beat Tottenham with a scoreline of 1-3 by scoring three goals at the second half in the match.

I don't know man, Liverpool is doing better now than how they started out but we are talking about an inconsistent team, they have managed to lose to that horrible team on their champions league and they BARELY managed to get further into the tournament, if Napoli didn't get a draw with that team right now Liverpool have been eliminated to europa cup already.

They are doing great at the league and I know this is the league discussion but just because they have been great so far doesn't mean it can be sustainable, it very well may continue this way or they could just continue playing a lot of games and eventually the stamina and conditioning will create a problem for them.

That is why teams like Madrid, Barcelona and the likes always go further into the tournament because they manage to get backup players who can sustain at least either cup or league while main guys play league time to time but focus more on champions league. Liverpool doesn't have that yet, they barely started to be a big power again and they do not have backups that could make them win the league while competing in champions league at the same time.

If Liverpool wins today and Manchester City continues to have bad result like a draw or a lost game , then the Premier League will lose the beauty and thrill because Liverpool would surely manage to be Champions until the end of the season.

Both have difficult games today so it will be interesting games to watch.

I already think those two losses have already caused City the league imho. It's gonna be hard getting those points back if Liverpool continues running good.

*Congrats LFC, 2018/19 EPL Champions.*

Edit: Yes... I'm jinxing it. Cheesy

@tomahawk: yeah, nothing is decided until the fat lady sings on Game 38, but the City-Pool clash will determine how things swing. I'm all over that game, I just hope I am able to find time to watch it. Busy period for me!

damn, it would suck if you miss one of the most important and decisive games for Liverpool this season...hope you can watch it.

This thread has been pretty quiet lately, understandable, though...but don't forget to miss the big game tomorrow: Liverpool vs Arsenal. I have high expectations for this game...Pool are clearly the favorites, but I think the Gunners can put up a good fight.

Will be very interesting game
Liverpool is in form but Arsenal is playing really well
I think Liverpool will win rather but Arsenal is able to drawn
Because it is Anfield i bet for Liverpool to win
If Man City wants to think about title than they have to win
Guardiola has to find a way to bounce City back
Will Man United win his next game.Man Untied players became alive after coach change

Why you think that is. This is still not certain that Liverpool will be champion. We have still a lot of matches to play so everything is possible. Think that MNC have some bad form and this is resulted with bad play, while Liverpool use this to take advantage. Think this is far from over even MNU have started to play now so think they will play to go in CL next year with everything they got.
