Full Time: Wolves 1 - 2 Manchester City

Manchester City without KDB and Rodri is not the best team to watch. They were lucky to get all three points today. Wolves were close to getting a point from this game. What a controversial end to the game. VAR confirmed the goal from Stones will stand and to be fair it looks like a sound decision to me but I know Wolves and opposition teams will have something to say about the result.

Full Time: Wolves 1 - 2 Manchester City

Manchester City without KDB and Rodri is not the best team to watch. They were lucky to get all three points today. Wolves were close to getting a point from this game. What a controversial end to the game. VAR confirmed the goal from Stones will stand and to be fair it looks like a sound decision to me but I know Wolves and opposition teams will have something to say about the result.

John Stones once again became a hero for Man City and this game reminded me of their game against Arsenal, except this time they were chasing a win. Man City really had to grind out a win and the winning goal was only obtained after the 18th corner kick. Wolves played pretty well defensively, and it really made Man City look frustrated. The most obvious thing was when the goal was reviewed by VAR, and it was very clear that all players and even Guardiola were very tense waiting for the decision. A huge win for Man City as they keep alive the chance to take first place from Liverpool.

[MArsland]

Expecting Manchester City to pull one back for the win seems unlikely and with 85 minutes on the clock at the time of writing, there's still the possibility of a draw to share the points.

This clearly opens up opportunities for Liverpool if they win then the difference in points will be quite decent, but we should not underestimate Chelsea's opponents this team is in the phase of a winning trend there may definitely be tight resistance from Chelsea.

As I said   Manchester City only needed time to score the second goal. The 90+5 minute was the perfect closing to get 3 points. But I admit Wolves game deserves appreciation because they were able to survive this far, a goal in the last minute from Stones brought Manchester City to the top of the standings and await the results of Liverpool vs Chelsea which will take place soon. Liverpool are under pressure to be able to reclaim the first position and it is quite difficult.

[Cookdata]

This was not like an away game for Man City because they completely dominated the proceedings. Wolves surprisingly managed to score in the early minutes but because of that, they ultimately tend to play defensive football in order to maintain the advantage they have, and that is clearly the only best option for Wolves who take the lead. However, this actually made Man City play more aggressively and gave them more space to build up, so that in the end Man City could equalize, and maybe they will be able to turn things around in the second half.

This is why it's not right to make conclusions on early goals. Sometimes, players like the defenders sleep off and they concede goals but a team that is well focus and vibrant will make a come back and will win that match at all cost. Considering how Manchester City is gallant right now, Wolves is not something that will be difficult for them but the initial pressure made it longer for them to equalized which they did at the end and now back at the top of the table.

Arsenal has has messed up their opportunity, Manchester is back at the top and Liverpool has pending game which will be played later. If Chelsea win them, they will come to the top and replace Aston Villa but if Liverpool win this one, they are going to displace Manchester City to lead the table again, this is going to be fire for fire but I kind of want to bet on Chelsea this afternoon.

[Akbarkoe]

The problem that always happens to Arsenal is the inconsistency that causes them to never get a champion, it's like a disease, even though Bournemouth is not a scary team in the English premier league but they can lose 2-0 by Bournemouth it is very disappointing, even though a lot of people expect that Arsenal can get a victory, but he lost it and surely many gamblers will lose this match if they bet on Arsenal, especially those who enter it into a Parlay bet, it will be very painful.

Yeah, of course Arsenal defeat was very surprising because before we predict the worst thing that can happen is a draw not los but the fact is that Arsenal can't even score a goal  obviously this defeat will hinder Arsenal in the race and they lost 5 points in the last 5 matches. This is what is called anything can happen in a match, disaster came in the 30th minute when William Saliba out because of the red card and this has an impact on Arsenal's performance and disrupt their strategy, especially in the second half.

Next we will wait for how Liverpool played in an important match today against Chelsea, will Liverpool do the same thing so that Manchester City will take over the top of the standings? I hope not so we can still see fierce competition there and Liverpool as a home team must be able to take advantage of this situation.

The composition of the players on the starter as said Farma is true, making Arsenal's strategy by entering sterling and merino makes Arsenal a little blunt, and the carelessness of Saliba makes Arsenal more messy, Arteta must learn again about this and the players not to be too aggressive in Conducting violations that they have the potential to be issued.

Liverpool match is a big question mark because this will be very interesting against Chelsea, Man City has returned to the top of the standings and if Liverpool lost, Man City officially led the standings this week, but that he would not necessarily get because Liverpool had not finished the match.

Arsenal have gotten themselves into a difficult situation after William Salliba saw a red card after bringing down Bournemouth's player on the canter attack. Now the question is, will Arsenal be able to win this match?, Do they have what it takes to win this match with one man down?, let's see what will happen to Mikel Arteta's team with a red card situation. Moving forward how dire could this affect their campaign this season after having some of their key players out due to injury.

Bookmakers don't believe in Arsenal's victory:

2.58 - 2.20 - 4.90

There are 40 minutes left to play and anything can happen, but playing with a man down, the most objective thing you can hope for is to hold on to a draw. This is the outcome that is currently considered the most likely. I feel sorry for those who bet on Arsenal, BTTS or total over.

I cannot say if Saliba's red card is valid or not because I didn't watch it. It is because of my brothers ticket that he has Arsenal to win or draw that drew my attention to the match. Seeing that Arsenal was drawing even in the second half, I advised him not to cash out, not knowing that Arsenal is already one man down. I am not happy as the match has become 2 goals against Arsenal because of some avoidable errors. You don't make careless mistake in big matches like this.

Now, Manchester is set to win the league again.

It was definitely a straight red card and a very poor marking from the Arsenal defender and  he deserved to be sent off the pitch. It was an unnecessary foul which could have been avoided because there was enough time for both him Salliba and goal keeper Raya to stop the Bournemouth striker that was heading for Arsenal's goal post,  considering the distance where the Bournemouth player was from Arsenal's goal keeper, you will notice that it was a 50/50 chance of either a goal opportunity or a chance for either saliba or Raya stopping the Bournemouth striker but Saliba decided to take the risk of fouling the Bournemouth player forgetting that he was the last player behind and according to the rule, it is a goal ban and at such a straight red card and a right decision from the referee which in turn cost arsenal all 3 points and also a 3 match ban for William Salliba pending on an appeal from Arsenal.

[Tipstar]

Another win for Manchester City in the last minute of injury time. They do deserve it too as they were clearly the dominating team in the field. The win has placed Manchester City at the top position be it for a short time. It depends on the result of another ongoing game.
The 2nd placed Liverpool is playing with performance improved Chelsea. The game is in Anfiled but Chelsea is dominating till the 1st 15th minute, both teams are yet to score. If Liverpool lost and draw this match, Manchester City would stand in their 1st place but a win for Liverpool mean, Liverpool goes to the top.

To be honest, not a great game for City. We struggled to get an additional goal during the second half. Playing without KDB and Rodri really made our midfield so dire. We have no one who is creative enough to help us in giving great passes to our attackers. But we're lucky enough that our defenders are on fire.

Stone once again saved us with his big head. I saw that he + corner kick is a solution to win any game when we're in a very critical situation like that. Big credit to him, who always helped us get three points in extra time. He looks like our special weapon. lol

[Glen Hoddle]

The Manchester City team has competed with all players in this match, so it is natural that they will be in control of this match.  Since Manchester City is second in the points table, it seems natural to win this match.  And the gamblers who bet on the Manchester City team were every gambler optimistic and won with long faith.  And the Manchester City team attacked most of the time on the field but this goal was not guaranteed even if the opposite side Wolverhampton scored in the early attack.  Because long performing and challenging old games have to be played in the end but could not survive.

[Frankolala]

Sallah has just opened the scoreline with a penalty kick on the 28th minutes of the game. Despite Chelsea controlling the game in the laat 23 minutes. Chelsea missed some good opportunities of finding the back of the net, but only three times that Liverpool got to Chelsea post, they won a penalty after Colwill brought Jones down. Chelsea should try and equalize this goal, rather than them allowing the goal to demoralize them. Gakpo just find the back of the net but it was an offside. Chelsea needs to strengthen their defensive force if they are planning to win this match, because it is getting porous.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea

[Roseline492]

Another win for Manchester City in the last minute of injury time. They do deserve it too as they were clearly the dominating team in the field. The win has placed Manchester City at the top position be it for a short time. It depends on the result of another ongoing game.
The 2nd placed Liverpool is playing with performance improved Chelsea. The game is in Anfiled but Chelsea is dominating till the 1st 15th minute, both teams are yet to score. If Liverpool lost and draw this match, Manchester City would stand in their 1st place but a win for Liverpool mean, Liverpool goes to the top.

Manchester City did not see this wining coming because they almost lost hope of wining the match after they faced a high interception by the Wolves, however about the Chelsea and Liverpool the match is getting more stronger as time progresses but is unfortunate for Chelsea the Colwill tackle against Mohammed Salah was too much and it was on the bad area and a penalty had to be given against Chelsea which was played by Mohammed Salah, so right now Liverpool is winning 1:0, however if not for the penalty the club I was expecting to score is Chelsea because I love their performance this match and they are even playing more than Liverpool and Malo Gusto is handling Mohammed Salah in a way that he cannot perform as he normally do.

Manchester City did well I thought the match will draw but a late goal from John stone just gave Manchester City an important 3 points the stats of the game shows that Manchester City dominated the game and the deserve to win.

They will still be at the top of the English premier league table if Liverpool couldn't win their match today against the blues though they are winning 1-0 at home in the first half of the game but the game has not ended. Liverpool will remain at the top of the table with 1 point ahead of Manchester City if they end up taking all glory at Anfiled by winning Chelsea but I believe it will be difficult for them to win Chelsea but if they do congratulations to them.

After going through a VAR review, J. Stones' goal was validated by the referee.
I saw Pep celebrating this winning goal very happily, maybe most people also wouldn't believe the goal in the final seconds. Man City showed a champion mentality in this match.
On the other hand, the Liverpool vs Chelsea match was in progress, M. Salah scored a goal from the penalty spot and also became a temporary advantage for Arne Slot's squad, this 1-0 score is still not safe considering the time is still long and Chelsea also played well,
I hope Liverpool doesn't make a mistake that makes my bet lose.

I think Manchester City was truly lucky today to have won a match everyone concluded it was a draw. That header at the last minute of the extra time is just luck with a little bit of determination because without determination, they would have given up seeing that the time was already past.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea

A second penalty might likely be awarded to Liverpool depending on what the VAR says. Oh VAR says no penalty, this would have probably seal the fate of Chelsea tonight. I expected Liverpool to win but I  was not expecting it to be easy. Now Chelsea have a chance at finding their opportunities to make the match even before the halt time whistle. Let us see what actions the second half will unveil.

Once again, Stones scored a late goal in the 90+5 minute to give Manchester City a comeback win over Wolves, this is the second time he has been a hero in the final minutes this season. The impact of losing De Bruyne and Rodri was very noticeable because Manchester City relied more on attacks through both wings, but it was very easy for Wolves to read and they immediately anticipated it by implementing a total defensive strategy. Wolves were only targeting a draw, but Manchester City players continued to press them until the defensive wall that had been built so solidly finally collapsed. Guardiola has an important note after this match ends, he must focus more on the defense line because in the last two matches Manchester City always conceded first.

[SatoPrincess]

Liverpool will want to win this game at home to increase their lead against Manchester City. At the moment, it looks like Liverpool are going increase their lead with a second penalty. What is going on with Chelsea today? I’m glad we have not seen a red card in today’s games unlike what we saw yesterday but it seems penalties are going to be order of the day.
Edit: The penalty did not stand for Liverpool.

It felt bad when Manchester City got the second goal. Wolves have worked so hard to keep them behind bars, but I knew it would be very difficult to stop one of the most dangerous attacks in European club football. John Stones replicated his goal against Arsenal when he scored close to the end of the match. Wolves players also caused their downfall. They were playing defensively without any good plan for counterattacks. They kept losing balls that would have been used to mount some pressure on the midfield and defence of City. Those four straight corner kicks were the Wolves' undoing.

If the opponents faced are not so strong then the fast goal scored by the opponent does not become a conclusion because there is usually a return goal that will be created. Man City conceded quickly in this match and even Wolves players have one good opportunity to double the advantage, but it is not successful because it is able to be hosted by the goalkeeper. Man City plays more pressing in the match and they also continue to make efforts to attack so that they managed to equalize.

Stones extended Man City's lead towards the end of the match, so Man City managed to get full points in the match. Liverpool had already taken the lead in the first half after Salah scored a penalty, Chelsea must try to play more effectively if they want to equalize in the second half.

[Ruttoshi]

Liverpool will want to win this game at home to increase their lead against Manchester City. At the moment, it looks like Liverpool are going increase their lead with a second penalty. What is going on with Chelsea today? I’m glad we have not seen a red card in today’s games unlike what we saw yesterday but it seems penalties are going to be order of the day.
Edit: The penalty did not stand for Liverpool.

Robert Sanchez went for the ball, and he touched the ball before clashing with Curtis Jones who won the first penalty. The penalty was canceled after a proper recheck by the referee after VAR called his attention. Liverpool is on the lead and it is possible for them to win this match, if Chelsea is unable to equalize the goal.

Liverpool needs this victory so that they don't dropto second on the table while City stays on top. It has been an interesting first half filled to emotion and thrill. The second half will decide who will win the match.

It was a predictable result. You can trust John Stones to come through with a late rescue for Manchester City. What Silva did in that corner was actually pure genius. He was interfering with the goalkeeper but he move just at the right time to avoid being caught offside. I’m certain Arsenal fans are busy digging through the archives to find a similar situation where the goal was disallowed.
