That's true! Lucky United so far as they didn't show anything new or a great football style so I think this 2 winning streak will end next game as personally I don't see United catching an UCL spot for next year and that would be a great payback for Ronaldo treatment  . UCL spot is a dream for Manchester United and currently they have good chance to take it but I agree with you, at the end maybe they won't get it. Many clubs in Premier League want that UCL spots and they can take it too. United have so many competitors and they are not better than competitors. City needs points without a doubt and I don't see Pep giving up so easily on EPL title and he will find a way to boost his team back on feet and make them score and win games.
City still have good difference with Arsenal so it is too soon to give up the Premier League title to Arsenal. Pep knows that his squad is strong enough to beat Arsenal in rest of season. Things can be changed a lot with only 5 points different between two top clubs. Arsenal...no one wants to face them right now as whoever face them , ends up losing.
They can not win against all opponents but right now, they are creating fear on their opponents. Want it or not, opponents must play against Arsenal and some day Arsenal will lose matches. They can not avoid it in a long season. From the start, Ten Hag did not target any titles this season. he just wants his troops to win game after game. although it had slumped at the start of the season, in fact The Red Devils were able to rank 4th in the Premier League standings. in fact, Man United is almost close to Man City, only 4 points away. the meeting match between Manchester Utd vs Manchester City, can be a place to prove as well as reduce the point difference between these two teams. for sure, Man United is on the right track. Arsenal, can slip up anytime, City is no exception. because City will be visiting Old Trafford, the headquarters of The Red Devils. I know that City's chances are higher than The Red Devils. however, it is possible that Erik Ten Hag's squad will surprise and overthrow Manchester City in the match later. Arsenal have only lost once so far, while City have lost two and drawn three times. that is why the young Gunners are still able to keep their distance from City. What is certain is that Arsenal are currently in a positive trend phase even though they have lost one of their pillars, namely Gabriel Jesus. however, with the arrival of new arrivals this January. I am quite optimistic that the Gunners will continue to progress with a positive trend in each of their matches. Manchester united will absolutely do everything to win this match, the players absolutely didn't forget the humiliation of the first match when city destroyed theme with whole 6 goals, players will do everything to get their revenge or at least avoid losing again, this will be a good opportunity for arsenal to extend the gap again |

I don't think Gladbach will be able to hold the player for long time because as you know there is no competition in the bundesliga and any player who want to earn trophies should absolutely play for Bayern Munich and that what happened for many players especially who played for Dortmund, let's see what will happen with sommer |

Inter Milan should have been able to bring full points at home to Monza, but several factors on the ground were the cause, one of which was an own goal by Dumfries. In fact, Dumfries became the mainstay of the Netherlands at the World Cup yesterday and he performed quite well at guarding the Dutch defense. However, when he returned to playing with Inter, his performance was again inversely proportional. Inter's failure to win was purely a result of his mistakes. Dumfries should have easily tackled the ball with a header, but was unlucky for him to misdirect the ball so it went into his own goal.
This draw is certainly very disappointing. Simone Inzaghi must immediately evaluate his squad and should have released several players who were interfering with Inter in achieving their targets. Inter's position is not completely secure in the top four so they have to work extra hard to secure that position.
An embarrassing loss of points at the very end of the match, after such an important victory at Napoli, it was very important to continue to win, but sometimes it happens, it was not his day, he came on as a substitute in the 80th minute in order to end up scoring an own goal. Today there will be two important matches, Napoli will go to Sampdoria and Milan will host Roma. It is very important for Napoli to win and regain self-confidence, because if they lose points again today it could already be a disaster. Milan should also beat Roma at home, but Mourinho can surprise and play a good defensive game. I also didn't expect Monza to score the equalizer against inter that was very surprising to me, but this is football and and that usually happen for big clubs, today Napoli will have a very important match against sampdoria and if they manage to win the match and regain the 7 points gap this will be very helpful for them for the rest of the competition |

After Real Madrid lost to Villarreal and lost three points, today Barcelona has a good opportunity to become the leader in the standings. But it would probably be easy if today's opponent was not Atletico Madrid. What is most interesting is that Atletico have drawn four of their last five home games, while Barcelona have won four of their last five away games. It's hard for me to predict who will win tonight. I don't rule out a draw.
Even Villareal has a very good season but this winning is unexpected and I am so surprised to see Real Madrid lost like this. It is a first defeat of Real Madrid against Villareal after 74 years. It's a very long time since their previous loss to Villareal. Although this shocked defeat of Real Madrid gives Barcelona a great chance to take over a first position in La Liga, their opponent is Atletico Madrid that are strong too. Barcelona usually have difficulty when they meet Atletico Madrid. Because the two layer defensive style of Atletico Madrid is very incompatible for Barcelona style. Both clubs are no longer have their best attacking and defensive abilities but their match will still be big, exciting and unpredictable. I also surprised by real Madrid defeat but it's still normal because real Madrid is no longer the same team that we know, also Villarreal team is very solid this year and when you see the ods for this match you understand that real Madrid mission is not easy |

I don't even think you can include liverpool at those top clubs who have been competing to get the upper place. I meant newcastle is even worthy compared with liverpool to be included in the list caused by the truth has been telling you the fact that if it's newcastle who already entered into the top 4 not liverpool. Liverpool is still struggling with its performance. It was getting draw against wolves recently. So far, MU is the only team that has been doing great improvements since MU was facing a few loses in a row.
MU shall be a club that must be fully appreciated especially for ten haag who has been slowly changing the way MU play in EPL
Liverpool have lost too many points this season, and there is no changes for now, they lost to Brentford again. They have chances for the top 4, but even to achieve this goal, they need to work hard. Newcastle, Manchester United and Spurs I think will be the main contenders for 3rd and 4th place, because each of these teams has periods of good play and downturns (like Tottenham are now). Liverpool can join them if they improve the game at the end of the season, they were good at it before. That's true, the Liverpool mission will not be easy at all because all other teams in the top spots are preforming well comparable to Liverpool, they need a lot of hard work and chance if they want to get a champoins league spot |

Cadiz team surprised Valencia with an early goal by alcaraz in the 9th minute, after that Valencia didn't create many opportunities to score and they still didn't shoot goal, the first half ia just finished and i wonder what will be the changes that Gattuso will do to make more creativity in the offensive line, Valencia is very far away from the top teams and losing this match will make any European spot almost impossible

After the defeat of the past round against lens today pag are also having troubles with Strasbourg, they ended the first half with a 1 _ 1 draw with just 4 goal attempts. They are playing without their best offensive weapons but i think they will manage to do something in this match and get the 3 points in the end

The competition between Man City and Arsenal is becoming more interesting, as Man City beat Chelsea yesterday, thus creating a five-point gap between the two top leaders. Arsenal now sits five points ahead of Man City. I expect the race to be difficult and close to the end. It would be great if Arsenal finished as high as possible.
The conditions are a little interesting now because both Arsenal and Manchester City will face the same 2 clubs, namely Tottenham and Manchester United. It's not just about the problems in positions 1 and 2 but in these 2 matches there will definitely be a noticeable shift in terms of position in these top 5 and of course this is an advantage for Newcastle who are in 3rd position because they will face a relatively easier club. That's right, the next two rounds will be very interesting for both clubs especially for man city who are trying hard to reduce the Gap, they will make everything to win both matches and wait for any stumble from arsenal to reduce the 5 points Gap, while arsenal will try to keep the gap and why not extend it |

Arsenal started the match the best way they can as they already did 5 goal attempts in just 15 minutes with 2 dangerous attempts, this is absolutely what i expected and i think if they continue the Same way they will be able to score in the first half but they also need to be careful from Newcastle conter attacks

Today arsenal will play a very important match against Newcastle, the leader will absolutely aim to maintain their position and proof once again that they are the unstoppable this year while Newcastle will try to reduce the gap or at least get one precious point from Emirates stadium

The odds for the Atletico Madrid - Barcelona match seem really interesting:
Atletico Madrid - 3.15
Barcelona - 2.24
Even though Atletico Madrid are not very trustworthy these days their odd is still not too far away from Barcelona. I would have expected an odd less than 2.00 for Barcelona win truthfully. I first thought that it might be due to Barcelona's unexpected point loss last week. However I assume I know why. Atletico Madrid have a good home-match history against Barcelona. Of course there were times Barcelona won but Atletico Madrid were able to keep them away from a win mostly in the recent years. I don't know if they can do this with the current effort level though. I think I'll still bet on Barcelona win.
The ods are logic because Barcelona team isn't really in their best days, while atleteco will play home and that's what give them some advantage in the ods, also atleteco will need the 3 points to improve their place in the standings, this match will be hard for both teams and i expecte low number of goals |

Napoli are a strong team who haven't suffered a defeat yet in this league, but that doesn't mean they are invincible, Inter are very solid and have a strong enough attack, it will certainly be a very tough match for Inter winning remains the only option to be able to get back in the running for the Scudetto. Milan, Juve, and all the other direct competitors are hoping for a victory for Inter, so as to reopen the championship
Inter still have a chance to beat Napoli in the match on January 5, but Inter must try to do their best and try very hard to try to get a win from Napoli because so far Napoli's defense has been very difficult to break through easily. Maybe Inter will just rely on luck, hoping to be on Inter's side. No one knows if Napoli changed in performance but before now Napoli has proved to be a tough team with a strong defence. But their game with Inter Milan will prove to us again to know if Napoli is still keeping to what they have. If Napoli are to defeat Inter it will be good for them, because they have put in too much effort to get to this point. I agree, inter match will be a real challenge for Napoli to proof that they are the kings, getting at least 1 point will be great for Napoli in such match because inter will put all their efforts to stop Napoli and restart the race for the serie A title, im looking forward for this match and i believe it will be one of the best matches in the round |

I was saddened by Liverpool's loss among all the clubs. The fact that Brentford defeated Liverpool 3—despite Liverpool having a greater advantage in terms of ball possession (73% to Brentford's 16 goal attempts), I still find it hard to believe. As a result, the Premier League's games are getting more unpredictable and exciting. love the way the games are going.
Brentford team is really making great matches, after beating man city now the turn come to Liverpool, after the first Liverpool goal i expected that they will turn the table and at least get 1 point but Brentford managed the match perfectly and was able to score the third goal in the last 10 minutes, Liverpool team is really not in their best days |

after yesterday's world cup break, of course the performance and stamina are quite good between the two plus of course they want to win, but this is a home game Roma should be able to win matches easily, I'm not a Roma fan but I always bet on promising clubs and predictable matches  AS Roma definitely has more motivation to win matches at home because Roma basically still have to focus more in every match so they can be in a better position in the standings. So Roma need to aim for victory and that's not only at home, but when they play away they also have to be able to win so that Roma can be in competition for a better position in the standings of the 15 matches that have occurred, Roma have lost 4 times and that makes them have to be ranked 7th. Bologna also didn't show good results in Serie A this season, I wonder if Motta will be able to keep up with Mourinho's strategy in the match later. Rome must win if they want to move up to the top 5. Bologna is not an opponent that AS Roma can underestimate, they are a team that can surprise AS Roma at any time. If AS Roma want to win in this game, they have to be focused and also they have to play better than before. The reason is that they really look difficult to win the match, even though their opponent is not better. This will be the home game for Jose Mourinho's squad, so they are not to be embarrassed. For this match I want Roma ahead. Because the players of Roma team are much more experienced and stronger than the opposition team. If Dybala joins Roma in that match and plays the match, they will have a chance to do even better. Last win for roma was against Verona in the 12th round after that they failed to get 3 points with 2 draws and one lose, the match against pologna is a perfect occasion for them to recover the confidence and get new 3 points, they need to recover the wins to keep fighting for the champoins league or at least European league spot |

Beyond prediction, but I'm glad this mistake left Madrid with the same points as Barcelona. The match was interesting because of many incidents, besides that the cancellation of Cabrera's red card was also funny. Yes Var helped everything today. Barcelona's game is as usual, Espanyol only relies on counterattacks. Talking about Var is sometimes both beneficial and detrimental. But is the use of Var also like a Volleyball or Badminton game known as Challenge.
Barcelona is increasingly showing its weak point because it is unable to get a win against Espanyol, in contrast to Real Madrid who always have high spirits and are able to catch up on the points lagging behind Barcelona. Barcelona must make good changes to maintain its position and not be easily beaten by other clubs. That's really unexpected because Barcelona must focus well in la Liga and not west points in such matches in their stadium, real Madrid perfectly profit from the situation and get back in the lead with the same number of points with Barcelona |

Tottenham are having bad times after the world cup break as they got only 1 point from 2 matches against weak teams, that's not looking good for this team and they seems close from losing the European promotion spot, now they have a complicated match next round against crystal balace and they must prepare well for it

Pep's not happy with the fact that his men had to draw the game yesterday but it was quite better than losing if Everton had capitalized on their chances. Truthfully, I was quite disappointed with their performance but I have to hand it to Jordan Pickford, he seemed to not only frustrate the efforts of the Man City players, but seemed determined to stop them from going home with 3 points.
Chelsea will have to buckle up because when you think Nottingham would slack, that's when you'd see the likes of Lingard and Awoniyi causing upsets. I'm open to surprises tho but the match, if played well, should end in favor of Chelsea.
Everton deserve the point that they got from Emirates stadium because they played a fantastic second half especially in the defensive term, man city did more than 11 goal attempts but Everton defence really did a great job, man city mission to get the title is getting more complicated especially with the perfect run that arsenal team is doing |

It's really rare to see a player score 2 goals in his own goal and that's what happened with wout faes, Liverpool attack wasn't obligated to do anything to win this match They and get the 3 points, this player will absolutely recieve alot of Criticisms after this match and i don't really know if he will ever play again for Leicester

Valladolid and Espanyol is not hard opponents for Barcelona and Real Madrid so not necessary to analyzed about the matches because clearly the quality of Barcelona and Real Madrid is far above to their opponents so there is big possibilities these teams will be defeated and Barcelona and Real Madrid certainly will earn 3 points but i know the odds for them will be so low and for my betting purposes recently i was made double bets to picked Real Madrid and Barcelona win into it and total odds was @1.89 this is much better than made single bet for each matches
I agree and i believe both have an easy match, Barcelona should absolutely not waste this occasion to at least Keep in the lead and not let real Madrid recover the their first place, those easy matches are so important for Barcelona and they should absolutely profit the occasion and get the maximum nyof points if they want to get the title |
