The draw between M.City and Arsenal gave Liverpool the lead.
Liverpool fell behind 1-0 and won with goals from Luis Diaz and Salah.
The excitement continues in the Premier League, there are only 3 points between the top three teams. Every game and every point is very important for Liverpool, Arsenal and M.City, the loser of points may miss the Championship.

The Manchester City and Arsenal game was very disappointing for so many reasons. One was that game ruined my bet slip because I bet the game to be over 1.5 goals only to see both sides unable to score a goal. I expected Arsenal to bring their A-game, I knew the game was going to be a tough one and thought there would be a lot of goals in this match since this match is somewhat going to be a decider for the title race. Even though I lost money in today’s bet, I’m happy Arsenal did not lose to Manchester City today.

Liverpool can smile broadly for the time being. The draw between Man City and Arsenal paved the way for Liverpool to return to first place. Man City actually dominated the match, but unfortunately, they had difficulty breaking down Arsenal's defense. The defensive football strategy played by Arsenal looks quite effective. The fight for the title is getting more and more tense, and I think with 3 points gap and the 9 remaining matches that still have to be played, these three teams still have an equally strong chance.

There are not many oportunities in the match with more chances for Manchester City but Haaland and Doku could not score any goal for them. On the opposite side, Arsenal did focus on defense in this match and successfully went home with one point that is their target.

This result is more happy ending for Arsenal than for Manchester City based on their approaches during the match while generally Liverpool are most happy team this week. They return to the first position and leave both Arsenal and Manchester City behind.

Truly Arsenal would be happier with the outcome of today's match which ended in a draw against Man City in Etihad stadium where they had never won a match since 2015 and always well beaten though they would prefer a win to increase their chances of winning the League having surrendered the top of the table to Liverpool who earlier won their match, though there are about nine matches to the end of the league I believe it's not yet over for all three major title contenders untill the last day of the league before the eventual winner would emerge thus there is no room for any complacency by any of those teams.

Regarding the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, I think Arsenal could beat Manchester City because they had better opportunities in this match. Also regardless of these two teams, I think after the game finished with a 0-0 result, Klopp started laughing and he was happy to see this result because none of these two teams could get the full three points to get closer to Liverpool.
Currently, Liverpool has 67 points in the first place in the Premier League and they are safe here because in the second team is Arsenal, a team got 65 points while they could beat Manchester City and get three points and this way we could see a closer race in the top of the Premier League.

Manchester City's match against Arsenal was really exciting where strong teams met strong teams and I liked the struggle of the two teams who played very well and I was very happy to see De Bruyne appear in the Manchester City match against Arsenal and I was also very happy when Saka appeared defending Arsenal.

the result of the match ending with a score of 0-0 is of course a normal result because the two teams worked together well, of course, but this result is very profitable for Liverpool because Liverpool, who competed against Brighton, Liverpool managed to win with a score of 2-1, a goal started by Brighton player Welbeck. It surprised me because I didn't expect that Brighton would be the first to score a goal, but fortunately Diaz was able to get a goal back in the 27th minute and M. Salah scored next the goal and became the winner for Liverpool.

I think the competition for the third strongest team in the EPL is still continuing and getting tighter, but this time Klopp's troops are happy and are now at the top of the standings.

[salad daging]

Yeah this is what Liverpool and the fans want they can take over the top of the standings without having to beat any of the competitors and at least Liverpool is safe for the next few weeks before facing another tough match towards the end of the season. Manchester City is 3 points behind, meaning they need to make more effort to catch up at least 3 points it would be safer, I just checked the betting markets for the winner of the premier league title and now Liverpool is at the top even though previously Manchester City was there. I personally hope Liverpool will win the title it was the right moment when the coach wanted to move or retire.

Now Liverpool only have to maintain with their victory, you could say the rest of the matches are just a few more but I checked the Liverpool match maybe a pretty tough opponent Manchester United away match continues to meet with Spurs, statistically it can be lost by Liverpool considering their performance historically which is quite excellent in every match.

True fans will be happy if their team continues to win points, the last PL trophy will be dedicated to Klopp as a touching farewell.

Now Liverpool's odds are rising, if I'm not mistaken Liverpool's odds of winning are below 2.00 but because of the persistence of the match last night the bookies are changing the betting market now.

[Oluwa-btc]

For now, Liverpool seem to be ahead, but I think this result is also very good for Arsenal. They finished the match without conceding a goal in the league's toughest away game against Manchester City. The only problem was that they couldn't score either, but still 1 point is good. Arsenal has a very high chance of winning the title if they win their remaining matches. I think the race will continue at full speed, many things will change until the finish.

Mikel Arteta did well to hold down Manchester City to a draw finally ending that good run they against them all these years since Pep Guardiola tok over as head coach of Manchester City.

Loved to see how these gunner's defenders handled Erling Haaland. Kevin De Bruyne might be a great player but the creativity from last season and this very season has definitely reduced.
Kevin De Bruyne cannot do all of the work for Manchester City. They haven't really brought in players to replace IIkay Gundogan and also Mahrez. These are also players that made the game easy fir Manchester City and Erling Haaland scoring all these goals.

Arsenal would be supporting Manchester United come next Sunday. They will be hopeful Manchester United gets the better of that game.
And off course, Erik Ten Hag wants to qualify for the Champions League Competition. Let's see if he can still hold down Liverpool for the third time this season. But please, he should bench Marcus Rashford. He's shown no desire to play fir Manchester United lately.

[X-ray]

Liverpool managed to beat DeZerbi, Manchester City at the same time failed to beat Arsenal.

Difficult moment for Guardiola who drops to -3 in the standings behind Klopp's team, while the Gunners find themselves two points behind after the draw
The title race is certainly the most exciting of the last decade in the Premier League even if tonight's match was very, very boring.

Indeed it was a difficult moment for Pep Guardiola because he never expected the match to end this way because they have more experience player than Arsenal and Manchester City dominated the first half with a very good ball possession against arsenal because at the first half arsenal was not that too good but the moment they came back from the second half there performance improve and the match became more tougher, although Liverpool is actually the one that benefited this draw the more because right now there points different is a bit higher than arsenal and Manchester City and with the look of things it will be very difficult for Manchester city to compete with Liverpool.

I think it'll be disrespectful to Arsenal as team and to their manager Mikel Arteta after what they were able to achieve this season if you say that Pep Guardiola wasn't expecting them to get a point from their English Premier League encounter today. Arsenal played the game like

Arsenal played poorly and getting draw is not even what people wanted to see. It's because neither of them was seriously about attacking their opponents since the start of game till end of it. They were always playing in the middle rather than directly attacking their opponents which is also making the game was a bit boring to watch. Manchester City performed differently in this game since it was missing some strong backs that make attackers feel confident if they must be going all in at upfront to win the game.
Some players, such as Saka and Haaland have performed so poorly in this match, even various media has also made various critics toward him. I can't even see where they are during the match. I believe that big matches can be boring at times because no club tries to go all out and attack its opponent.

This is main issue owned by the club since city was also playing using high line defensive so it's quite risky when club was not having some good defenders to back the goal keeper. I'm sure if city wasn't playing so well in upcoming games if it will still miss some good backers to protect the goal keeper. It means that Manchester City was not fully utilizing its players to give their best performances since the secondary squads are not capable enough to play as good as the main players like walker and stones. Manchester City has historically performed poorly against Arsenal.
Haaland was performing poorly, and many parties had focused their attention on it. I were curious about where the fuck Haaland was during the game. Haaland's performance in this game is abysmal as he was always losing he was in the duel against arsenal's defenders.

He was unable to achieve the proper positioning against Arsenal, which is extremely disappointing.

[OcTradism]

Now Liverpool only have to maintain with their victory, you could say the rest of the matches are just a few more but I checked the Liverpool match maybe a pretty tough opponent Manchester United away match continues to meet with Spurs, statistically it can be lost by Liverpool considering their performance historically which is quite excellent in every match.

True fans will be happy if their team continues to win points, the last PL trophy will be dedicated to Klopp as a touching farewell.

Now Liverpool's odds are rising, if I'm not mistaken Liverpool's odds of winning are below 2.00 but because of the persistence of the match last night the bookies are changing the betting market now.

Liverpool have biggest advantage in this title competition with Arsenal and Manchester City. They have more points than two competitors but in last 9 matches, Liverpool and Arsenal both will have three matches with clubs in top six, Manchester City will have only two matches with club in top six of Premier League.

Fixtures look to be harder for Liverpool and Arsenal but Manchester City will have to need bad results from both Liverpool and Arsenal to take over the first position. They are at worse condition amongst three competitors and Liverpool are at the best condition. They can control the competition and will take the trophy from Manchester City if they win all of last 9 matches in Premier League.

This advantage is the same as when Liverpool played against Manchester City and the result was a draw and Arsenal at that time was at the top of the standings, so it's the same.
These three teams still have a chance to win this season and the most important thing is to be able to maintain their results by always winning in the remaining matches, and hope that both teams slip up.
And these three teams must also be able to protect all their important players in every match in all competitive competitions, which in my opinion is very important so that they continue to play well in the remaining matches.
And when it comes to Liverpool, I really believe they have the ability to finish all the remaining matches with good results in this Premier League and whoever the opponent is.

[klidex]

The draw between M.City and Arsenal gave Liverpool the lead.
Liverpool fell behind 1-0 and won with goals from Luis Diaz and Salah.
The excitement continues in the Premier League, there are only 3 points between the top three teams. Every game and every point is very important for Liverpool, Arsenal and M.City, the loser of points may miss the Championship.

As I said before, if Manchester City and Arsenal achieve a draw it will make Liverpool feel at an advantage because they will win the match over Brighton easily because Liverpool is playing at home and Liverpool's performance is very strong so there is no doubt for me to favor Liverpool. Now Liverpool is back at the top of the standings and has widened the gap with Manchester City, which is still in 3rd place.


I bet on Liverpool or a draw even though I actually wanted to bet on Liverpool only but I learned from previous mistakes when choosing one of the favorite clubs to win instead it blunder which made the multi bet loss. So I minimized the risk lol



I also did the same thing with Manchester City, I predicted the match would be a draw and it turned out that Arsenal did everything well by maintaining a strong defense so that Manchester City couldn't do much to score a goal and in the end the match ended in a goalless draw.

This means that the race for the English Premier League title is still going on quite fiercely because the three clubs still have the opportunity to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings with a 2 and 3 point advantage over Arsenal and Manchester City which will make them stay at the top of the standings longer for the time being.

[Solokan]

Difficult moment for Guardiola who drops to -3 in the standings behind Klopp's team, while the Gunners find themselves two points behind after the draw
The title race is certainly the most exciting of the last decade in the Premier League even if tonight's match was very, very boring.

Yes, of course Pep really hopes that Manchester City will win in the match against Arsenal. Of course, in this match, Pep's troops found it very difficult to open gaps in Arsenal's defense and in this match, Arteta was very good at making a good strategy, and Pep was also very good at making formations until the match ended in a draw. But of course, by being in 3rd place, there is still time for Manchester City to move up the rankings.

Actually, Arsenal's match against Manchester City was a valuable moment for both teams, but unfortunately both teams were not able to take advantage of the opportunities well and in that match I saw that Gabriel Jesus, who was very unfortunate, was not able to take advantage of the opportunities Likewise with Haaland

Yes, the fight for the title is getting more exciting and of course Pep, Klopp and Arteta have to really train their men so that their performance will be better when they face their next opponent. Yes, it's a shame that Manchester City's match against Arsenal ended in a 0-0 draw and I agree with you that the match was exciting but boring because no goals were scored. Because to be honest, I personally like more both teams to score goals against each other.even though the result ended in a draw

Liverpool have biggest advantage in this title competition with Arsenal and Manchester City. They have more points than two competitors but in last 9 matches, Liverpool and Arsenal both will have three matches with clubs in top six, Manchester City will have only two matches with club in top six of Premier League.

They are at worse condition amongst three competitors and Liverpool are at the best condition. They can control the competition and will take the trophy from Manchester City if they win all of last 9 matches in Premier League.

The draw match result between Manchester City vs Arsenal provided quite big advantage for Liverpool who succeeded in getting 3 points after defeating Brighton Albion last match and leaded top Premier League standings awhile with 2 points remaining from Arsenal then 3 points from Manchester City. Based on the schedule premier league matches, Liverpool has advantage upcoming two matches later against Sheffield United and Manchester United who probably will secure three points and lead top standings more longer time.

Its great opportunity for Liverpool keep consistent in the winning premier league race, just taking three points all matches left behind fewest difference points not secure yet when loss point although at one match only. Arsenal advantage left on games week 38 or last premier league match both team face each other if Arsenal not loss points yet.

Man city controlled the ball well in the first half and it looked like they would complete the goal soon and Arsenal controlled the ball in the 2nd half but neither team could score a goal and the match ended in a 0-0 draw. Although this match had a lot of impact for both, but neither team could use the opportunity. On the other hand, Liverpool won the match with Brighton 2-1 and remained 3 points ahead of Man city with the 1st position in the points table. today was a good day for Liverpool he he

The match between Man City and Arsenal was tight from the first minutes. However, with home advantage, Man City is still the team that controls the game better. However, the tightness of the Gunners caused the two teams to split the points. Arsenal's defensive performance this time was in complete contrast to the last time they marched to the Etihad Stadium. They are causing Man City only to have one shot on target in the match.
With 1 point, the two teams had to pity Liverpool to take the lead in the Premier League rankings. For Man City, this draw makes this team's chances of defending the championship more difficult. Man City no longer has the right to self-determine the championship for the rest of the season. Pep Guardiola and his team need to wait for their direct opponents to drop points to win the tournament.

Liverpool has become the number 1 candidate for the Premier League title after rising to the top of the rankings.

[Marvell1]

To be honest, none of us expected to see such a performance from Manchester City in this match. Many of my gambling friends bet on Manchester City to win today. The main reason for this was that it was City's home match. And everyone thought that City would surely avenge the defeat of the previous match in this match. But Manchester City players proved everyone wrong.
Manchester City dominated this match it is true. Manchester City players have 73% ball possession. But they are not able to attack much. Arsenal's defense has been one of the strongest defenses in the Premier League this season. City should have gone all attacking from the first half if they wanted to score against Arsenal. I would say there was something wrong with Guardiola's match tactics. And this is why Manchester City have shared the points in two consecutive important matches.

The fact is that Arsenal learnt from their mistake last season against Manchester city. It was almost the same time last season, that they both clashed, and Arsenal was also using maybe one or two points to gap them, and they dealt with Arsenal. That victory game Manchester city a better advantage to win the match.
This is why I would not blame Arsenal for putting more effort on their defense than attacking. Afterall sharing of the points is better than allowing one club to walk away with all three points. Arsenal are in their super form, and I wish them well in winning the league if they can. I also thought that Manchester city would use the advantage of playing at home over Arsenal, but there was no difference.

You are right that Arsenal have learned from their mistakes against Manchester City last season. Arsenal's performance against Manchester City was poor last season. And at the end of the season Arsenal's players failed to win the title due to erratic performances. If you want to win the Premier League title, you have to have consistent performances and consistently play well.

Arsenal have been in excellent form this season. They are not making the same mistakes as in previous seasons. Arsenal have been very tactical this season. Arsenal team has been able to maintain the consistency of performance. Arsenal also managed to earn 1 point against Manchester City after an excellent win against Liverpool.



In this away match, Arsenal played a defensive strategy from the beginning of the match. Arsenal's players had only 28% ball possession. And Arsenal didn't try to attack too much. Arsenal played a defensive strategy and wanted to draw the match. And they succeeded. The match was a goalless draw and Arsenal earned 1 point.

[X-ray]

The draw between M.City and Arsenal gave Liverpool the lead.
Liverpool fell behind 1-0 and won with goals from Luis Diaz and Salah.
The excitement continues in the Premier League, there are only 3 points between the top three teams. Every game and every point is very important for Liverpool, Arsenal and M.City, the loser of points may miss the Championship.

As I said before, if Manchester City and Arsenal achieve a draw it will make Liverpool feel at an advantage because they will win the match over Brighton easily because Liverpool is playing at home and Liverpool's performance is very strong so there is no doubt for me to favor Liverpool.

Congrats for your win. Double chances became the best choices for the difficult match like this. Im feeling that if we will be also seeing many matches that will be worthy enough to take double chance. There will be also the match liverpool vs arsenal and it's very hard to dtermine which club that is gonna win this game.
Arsenal threatening city's goal keeper several time. Im seeing these clubs are in the same level. Things have been going even worst for arsenal considering that if the gunner was not able taking the full points in this game.

Im feeling if liverpool is gonna take the full points till the end of season. It seemed to me that if city and arsenal have no chance to win PL trophy this season and this is my main reason to believe the reds is gonna take PL trophy this season and break city's domination for several seasons. The last match has become a key for arsenal to win the competition.
The last chance will be also another important match when arsenal is gonna face liverpool soon.

This result is more happy ending for Arsenal than for Manchester City based on their approaches during the match while generally Liverpool are most happy team this week. They return to the first position and leave both Arsenal and Manchester City behind.

Indeed, the draw that occurred was very surprising, it was very clear that Manchester City had the advantage and had also succeeded in dominating the match full time but failed to win in this match.
Haaland, who is usually the goal machine for Manchester City, was also unable to provide goal to bring Manchester City to victory, this draw was very profitable for Liverpool, who were at the top of the standings.
In the future, Manchester City will only face Aston Villa and Crystal Palace before the UCL match against Real Madrid takes place, in these two matches, we really hope to be able to win and save full points overall.
Moreover, the two team that will be opponents in the next match are team below Manchester City, so they have very big chance of winning.

But Pep must be careful in these two matches, don't make mistakes and cause them to be disadvantaged by injured players.
Match against Real Madrid is not an easy matter and Pep must prepare everything as well as possible.

The odds changed a lot after the results of Liverpool, ManCity and Arsenal. Previously ManCity was on top before with 2.2 if I remember it correctly and now they are on 2nd position with odds 3, Liverpool take the favorite position with odds 2.25 while Arsenal on the 3rd with odds 3.75.

Looking at the fixtures of these 3 top teams in EPL, ManCity seems to be the one with easiest remaining matches while the other two seems to be having harder remaining matches. Who will lift the trophy is still unpredictable because these 3 teams has equal chance imho.

However, the Manchester City side could not win against Liverpool and Arsenal and are now third in the table. Even so, the three teams are still equally likely to win the title.

The Liverpool team is going to face strong teams like Tottenham, Manchester United and Aston Villa in the upcoming matches. On the other hand, Arsenal will play against Chelsea, Tottenham and United. It will be very difficult for both Arsenal and Liverpool to win these four matches. Manchester City's upcoming matches are weak opponents to say the least. Manchester City team will play against Tattenham, Brighton and West Ham. So all three teams are likely to lose points. We will have to wait till the last match to know which team will win the title.

[SmartCharpa]

City again lose points and again fail to score a single goal. Arteta focused on defense, and almost didn’t think about realizing the attacking potential of his team, it brought results, Arsenal didn’t concede, but they not win, and Liverpool took advantage of it, just as Arsenal did in the last round. 3 points is not so much, but the situation is now in the hands of Liverpool, and I watched their remaining games, there are not many difficult opponents, in the near future they will have to play with Manchester United, and a little later matches with Tottenham and Aston Villa, I think Klopp have the strength to become champions this season.

Manchester City's performance against Arsenal was completely bad. Though i expected Manchester City to have a difficult match with Arsenal, but not in the way they did. Manchester City had only one shot on target out of 12 attempts, when Arsenal had 2 out of six. Manchester City had complete control of the ball throughout the game, but they made no attempt to score goals because Arteta played more defensive in. When you look at the first half of the game, Manchester City dominated it more than the second half, to the point that Arsenal players were refusing to come out and look for the ball.

Manchester City has not score a single goal against Arsenal this season, the first meeting resulted in loss for Manchester City. Erling Haaland performed poorly against Arsenal because Saliba and Gabriel unbalanced him. However, in my opinion, Guardiola shouldn't have replaced Foden with Doku because their performance has changed after Doku entered the game, because Arsenal started taken control of the game over them. Arsenal had a goal difference advantage over Liverpool after winning their league game against Brentford, however, Liverpool has regained the position after securing three points against Brighton. I see Liverpool as the favorite team to win the Premier League title this season.

Manchester City have less points than Liverpool and Arsenal but they had a match at home to host Arsenal. It's great chance for them to beat Arsenal and at least surpass one direct competitor but they failed to beat Arsenal. Now they will see Liverpool expanding the gap and still stay under Arsenal.

9 more matches are not too little but not too many so strong teams like Liverpool and Arsenal won't be able to win all their last 9 matches in Premier League. To surpass two competitors, Manchester City need both competitors to lose points and it is a little bit unrealistic. Even both competitors lose points, Manchester City must have very good performances and nearly maximum points in their last matches too.

So the odds change makes senses and shows that Manchester City position now is weaker than before a match with Arsenal.

[Google+]

For now, Liverpool seem to be ahead, but I think this result is also very good for Arsenal. They finished the match without conceding a goal in the league's toughest away game against Manchester City. The only problem was that they couldn't score either, but still 1 point is good. Arsenal has a very high chance of winning the title if they win their remaining matches. I think the race will continue at full speed, many things will change until the finish.

Both teams have been trying to get three points in the game, but unfortunately injuries to players really affected their performance in the game, you can see how Guardiola changed the game strategy a bit when they didn't have a walker in team and when Ake was injured in the 27th minute it was clear that Manchester City's game was a little vulnerable and made Arsenal start to improve their attack,  In addition, the unfit of Saka and Martinelli in the match also affected Arsenal's uncharacteristic game in attack, I think Arsenal prefer to play carefully in the match and  so that indeed 1 point is a fair result for Arsenal.

But unfortunately the failure to get 3 points in the match actually made the journey of Arsenal and Manchester City even harder, because after all now both have a distance of 2 and 3 points from Liverpool who are at the top of the standings, besides that the busy schedule that is now starting to be in front of our eyes will make Arsenal and Manchester City must be observant enough in rotating their players to avoid injury,  Especially in the remaining few matches in the future, they will face difficult matches against big teams.
