Manchester City and Liverpool now have almost comparable strength so these two teams have the potential to compete for the Premier League title until the end of the season.

This season the battle for first place in the Premier League is very tight. Especially for teams ranked 1-5, all teams have almost the same points (except Liverpool). So it's natural that currently many people are speculating on these 5 teams. This is because the performance of the five teams is equally strong and has its own advantages. Apart from that, the race for first place in the Premier League this season is still very open to any team, especially the top 5 teams.

• Liverpool
• Manchester City
• Arsenal
• Aston Villa
• Tottenham Hotspur

However, for this season, I personally think the strongest candidate who has the chance to win the Premier League is Liverpool. The reason is, so far M, Salah and friends have consistently wiped out almost all the matches they have played in the Premier League with wins. So it is clear that Liverpool's chances of winning this season are very big. However, for now Liverpool is not yet in a safe zone, because MAN City will always try to shift Liverpool from the top of the standings. Even though MAN City's mainstay striker, Halland, is currently injured, this will not make MAN City weak. So it is true that the tightest competition that will occur in the race for the Premier League title this season is between Liverpool and MAN City. The reason is that both teams (Liverpool and MAN City) have very good players in every line. So it is not surprising that these two teams are rivals this season.

Honestly, Nobody anticipated Chelsea cy dominate so many goals, but they put too much pressure on Middlesbrough and scored six goals. Chelsea delighted the crowd, and their performance was certain to produce positive outcomes in the final. The fans did not expect such a goal from Chelsea because of their poor performance in the Premier League this season. If Chelsea can continue to perform as well as they did in today's encounter, I don't think they will found the final difficult.

Middlesbrough is not a difficult team for Chelsea to defeat, so I expected Chelsea to win at home. I was very disappointed when Chelsea lost their first meeting at Middlesbrough's stadium because they were playing poorly even in their league and should have won. However, because of their poor performance this season, Chelsea lost the match. Some people think that Chelsea is back to the high of play. They simply defeated a club in relegation, in my opinion, to make it to the final round, which will be difficult for them to win.

With their present performance, I don't think they can face any obstacles in the final with they well today. They exert a lot of effort and perform well against Middlesbrough as a result. But in any case, we'll have to wait and see who is going to wins the second leg Liverpool vs. Full Ham, for we to know who will meet with Chelsea in the final.

If Liverpool wins today to advance to the final round, it won't be any easier for Chelsea to play because they simply found an easy way to defeat a weak team. Liverpool will still have no problem defeating Fulham in their second match today. In their first meeting, Liverpool set a strong comeback, scoring two goals in the second half. Chelsea has not much chance of winning a trophy this season because Liverpool is stronger than them. Instead, Pochettino should work on improving his players so they can try again next season.

Im only wondering how many punishment to be received by manchester city. Manchester city has been trying so hard in achieved a lot of goals but it will be a disaster if the sanction from EPL will be going to hurt this club for long.
I think that money will talk much here and EPL will be giving a small sanction to the manchestercity for all of breaches happened to the city. There are over 100 breaches alleged to the city and it seems like this is going to be a long term problem. EPL please take city's money than give only a small sanction to the club.   This is gonna be interesting case for sure. I meant that manchester city has been trying so hard to achieve all of achievements.

But this is certainly going to be a very tough thing to see because after all, looking at the current situation Manchester City seems to be ready to fight against all the charges against them.
There were more than 100 charges filed but all of them were rejected outright and I'm sure they will try until the end until they are completely innocent of all charges so it will be very difficult to consider the continuation of this because we all realize with all the resources that Manchester City has today they will definitely insist on using everything they can to escape the charges.

They're prepared and they're going to anticipate everything that could happen so this case is going to be different than Everton before and I'm going to be very confident that this indictment case is going to drag on and it's going to take a very long time to resolve.

The first game of this round was a disaster for Chelsea, but in the second game everyone knew that they had the advantage as they were the hosts.Middlesbrough knew that they would not make it through, but they played as a formality in a way.Although some things have improved at Chelsea, there is still a general lack of cohesion.If Pochettino manages to solve this as soon as possible, they will have a chance to finish higher in the league.

The match against Chelsea and Middlesbrough was actually a very interesting match to watch seeing how Chelsea were able to disorganized Middlesbrough defense and also there midfield, actually is been a while I saw Chelsea performing this good, one of the things I like about Chelsea on that match was that before the match started they have already identified the lapses of Middlesbrough so they focus on those areas as there target to penetrate Middlesbrough and it actually worked for them and the pressure was seriously much on Middlesbrough because Chelsea was facing them back and front perhaps that's why if you watch the match very closely you will see that Middlesbrough was not confident on that match because they barely hold ball for two minutes without being intercepted by Chelsea.

However in as much as Chelsea has better performance than Middlesbrough I never believe that Chelsea will be able to score this amount of goals they did, the way the goal was coming I was actually surprise and that was also what disorganized Middlesbrough performance.

Pochettino has learned everything about the opponents they faced in the first leg. So in the second leg yesterday everything really changed completely. Well Chelsea really made a big difference. Because Chelsea's performance in the first leg and the second leg were clearly different. Pochettino made the right strategy for the second leg match. And you're right that Middlesbrough really didn't seem confident in that match. Because the atmosphere at Chelsea's home ground certainly also had an influence on the mentality of the Middlesbroug players in this match. Meanwhile, Chelsea actually played more confidently in this match. And the final result of 6-1 was quite surprising for me too. And I hope that they can also bring the confidence of the Chelsea players to every match in the EPL. Because Chelsea's real problem is in the EPL.

Arsenal have not yet secured anything for themselves, just like Aston Villa, and it is too early to say that Arsenal has more chances than Aston Villa, besides, Tottenham is quite good this season, so for these three the whole fight is ahead. Arsenal is prone to not very good series, they can lose several matches in a row against not the strongest teams, if they repeat this again before the end of the season, they may even be left without the Champions League zone.

Actually, the top 5 teams still have a chance to secure themselves in the UCL zone because they have a narrow point difference, only the teams are able to maintain their consistency otherwise they will lose that place. Arsenal sometimes appear impressive but sometimes also appear less impressive and are still prone to losing when facing average teams so that if Arsenal is not able to be consistent then they will lose their place in the UCL. The same thing also happens to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur who are still not very impressive at all. the match they are facing. Meanwhile, Man City and Liverpool are still quite impressive and are still on the winning track.

Though Aston Villa look strong and formidable now, would the able be to sustain their present form till the end of the season so as to clinch a UCL spot? I don't think so,  I am tipping Tottenham to qualify for the last spot, Arsenal though not a sure title contenders yet has the capability to clinch a top 4 spot, meanwhile the title race is between Liverpool and Man City for now though the overall distance in term of points between those top 5 is very close and narrow as you rightly said, however the more formidable team has the quality in terms of players and the depth to remain consistent in term of performance till the end of the league unlike Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

[tusandii]

This season, Man City and Liverpool may indeed look the most convincing in fighting for the title this season. But conditions can turn around quickly. But I'm sure Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal are the 3 teams that will get tickets to the UCL. Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Tottenham will probably fight for the 4th UCL ticket. And regarding the championship title, I think it is still difficult to see who will get it. Because the small difference in points means anything can still happen.

In fact, it's not just Liverpool who are Manchester City's competitors, but this season I think there are always clubs that make it difficult for Manchester City to reach first place, such as initially Tottenham, then Arsenal, followed by a shift by Aston Villa and currently Liverpool are able to put pressure on Manchester City as strong competitor.
Even though I have to admit that Liverpool cannot be underestimated, but believe it or not, I still believe that Manchester City will finally get the Premier League title again because there are still 17 matches remaining and Pep Guardiola's mainstay will return soon and will make a big difference.
Today Liverpool will compete in the Carabao Cup against Fulham.
In my opinion, Liverpool wants to prove to the public that Klopp's club is capable of winning the title in this competition to beat Fulham and will face Chelsea in the next meeting.
What do you think, will Liverpool win this match or will it only be a draw?

I think Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Tottenham have the same big chance of getting tickets to the Champions League next season because all three have performances that I think are at an equal level for now. So it is quite difficult to predict which one of the three teams will come out of the top 4. It is likely that the factors that will determine who will remain in the top 4 when the season ends are good strategies and solutions when dealing with injury and fatigue.

Manchester City and Liverpool now have almost comparable strength so these two teams have the potential to compete for the Premier League title until the end of the season.

Arsenal has strength but they often cannot maintain consistency in their play, that's what makes me doubt them a little.
For Aston Villa, I think they are a surprise team and I am quite pessimistic that they will be able to compete at the top of the standings.

Obviously, with their current strength, Mancity and Liverpool are ranked higher than Arsenal and Aston Villa in the race to win the championship. But I believe things will not be that simple, especially this season when there is a strong rise of Aston Villa, not to mention there is still Tottenham, although in terms of squad depth, they cannot be compared with the remaining teams. However, we should remember that the Premier League is a tournament full of surprises.
Can anyone think that last season Mancity could win the championship after Arsenal dominated the top position for a long time? Arsenal still has their strength, this time they are having a crisis in attack when they cannot finish the match because they don't have a real goal scorer, but I believe when they can add one more quality striker like Ivan Toney, things might be brighter for them.

And I honestly can't say that Man City is comparable to Liverpool, because they haven't met each other on current form, and head to head matches are a way to determine whether they are comparable or not with both teams in peak form. Meanwhile the 3-5th place finishers are Aston Villa, Arsenal and Tottenham, yes I agree that the English Premier League does provide a lot of surprises, especially in the final session of the league like last season you said about Arsenal dominating for a few weeks and then being brought down by the consistency of Man City.

But speaking of Aston Villa I feel that they will not last long to compete, although this season he did provide a surprise like Newcastle United last season.

[legendbtc]

This season, Man City and Liverpool may indeed look the most convincing in fighting for the title this season. But conditions can turn around quickly. But I'm sure Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal are the 3 teams that will get tickets to the UCL. Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Tottenham will probably fight for the 4th UCL ticket.

Even though I have to admit that Liverpool cannot be underestimated, but believe it or not, I still believe that Manchester City will finally get the Premier League title again because there are still 17 matches remaining and Pep Guardiola's mainstay will return soon and will make a big difference.

With a 4-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend, Liverpool created a 5-point gap between the chasing group at the top of the rankings. But next month, there will be big challenges and a problem called living without Mohamed Salah. They need someone to temporarily step up and take on the duties left behind by the Egyptian superstar. To maintain their position in the rankings.
The difference between Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal is that Man City can achieve a series of 10 victories that few clubs can do. That's why they are always highly rated in this race. If Liverpool and Arsenal can do it, that would be impressive. Man City's only weakness in this race is that they still have the ambition to win the Champions League and FA Cup, so they must play more than the other teams. No club has ever won the Premier League four times in a row. I also hope that Pep Guardiola and his team can do this.

I not sure that Aston Villa will be able to maintain their position until the end of the season and be able to get tickets for the UCL.
What is clear is that Tottenham, who at the start of the season performed quite well and experienced setbacks, but now they are starting to slowly show stability in performance.
Tottenham will be a big threat for Aston Villa to maintain their place, it will be like Arsenal relegating them from third position and Tottenham will definitely do the same.
Aston Villa is pretty tough team but they will still be overtaken by Tottenham so Aston Villa opportunity for next season is not the UCL competition but the Europa League, moreover, if Aston Villa can be in the UCL competition I not sure they can last long.
Aston Villa does not have the ability to compete fiercely against other big teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter Milan or Manchester City when in the UCL competition.
Just being able to play in the Europa League and showing playing stability is already quite good achievement for Aston Villa and I sure they won't be ready for next season if they have to compete in the UCL.

Chelsea 4-0 Middlesbrough

In the end, it was a great win for Chelsea as they advance to the final of the carabao
Sadly Middlesbrough quality was not enouugh to see them through and qualify to the final ahead of PochetUno Team

Can Chelsea win the carabao cup ?

Middlesbrough should have lost back in the first match, but by some miracle Cole Palmer didn't score 2 or 3 100% goals then and so it looked like Middlesbrough had won and had a chance.

So it was natural that this time Chesley didn't even leave a chance and won convincingly with the score 6:1 and Cole Palmer finally scored his two goals. In general, his game Palmer something like Azar, when he played on the left flank of Chelsea, but it is obvious that Palmer still a little experience to gain and everything will go even better, although now he is one of the leaders of Chelsea in his 21 years is very good.

After Moh Salah absence due to injury, Manchester City has more opportunities to catch up with the 1 match postponed. 5 points is a bit tough but Liverpool also need to win every game without Moh Salah and in any case I think that's a difficult challenge. The rivalry between the two will continue until the end of the season, but if Manchester City has Haaland back in their squad, every match will automatically become easier. Because there is Kevin De Bruyne beside him to guard and ensure Haaland scores goals.

For Arsenal still can't join the title race, and I hope Arteta realizes that. It would be better for Arsenal to think of a way to maintain third position so that it is not stolen by Aston Villa, whose existence this season really needs to be watched out for.

Based on statistical data and looking at the current performance of each team, it is true that Manchester City and Liverpool are the strongest and their performance also seems almost equal at the moment. But that's only for now. Because we don't know what drama will happen in the remainder of this season, which is actually still very long.

Arsenal is currently experiencing a slight decline, and on the one hand, Aston Villa has also surprised all the teams in the EPL because no one thought that Aston Villa could be in the competition and be in the top 4. In fact, Spurs will most likely bounce back after H.Son returns after playing for the South Korean national team in the AFC Asian Cup. Because in the match against Manchester United, I saw that Spurs were still playing well even without their two mainstay players, namely Son and Maddison. So when these two players return to play, Spurs will also definitely try to return to the top 4. Just like at the start of the season where Spurs were leading the standings. And it is not impossible that this could happen again.

The competition to get the champions league zone next season is very tense and these 3 teams both don't want to lose in winning that place. Maybe now it is clear that Liverpool and Manchester City are the top two teams that have managed to secure the Champions League zone and now the remaining two are up for grabs. It is not certain that Arsenal will be safe considering that this season is much more difficult with Aston Villa breaking into the top flight and Spurs may not be able to move freely because this season is still an improvement after last season they were unable to secure a place in the Champions League.

Maybe it's true that strategy and preventing players from getting injured are two things that can't be separated if you want to remain consistent, but I don't think it's easy considering the busy schedule that a team that is still active in other European competitions will have to go through. In this case, Arsenal is a quite busy team because they have to divide their schedule with the EPL and Champions League.

Chelsea 4-0 Middlesbrough

In the end, it was a great win for Chelsea as they advance to the final of the carabao
Sadly Middlesbrough quality was not enouugh to see them through and qualify to the final ahead of PochetUno Team

Can Chelsea win the carabao cup ?

Is Chelsea going to win the CAB Cup? That won't happen, in my opinion. Chelsea played a very strong game yesterday, and I was even surprised by how well they defeated Middleborough 6-1. I wondered, "Is this the Chelsea that we know?" because since the start of the season, Chelsea had not scored four goals in the first half of a game until yesterday. And I really like how passionate Chelsea played yesterday, demonstrating to Middlebrough that they are the owners of standard bridge. I hope Chelsea can keep playing this way, as it will even please the fans.

Regarding Chelsea's chances of winning the Carabao Cup, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to predict that Chelsea will prevail because Liverpool is playing Fulham today and is very confident that they will win. Chelsea and Liverpool will play in the final, and Liverpool is better positioned to win the trophy than Chelsea. Despite Chelsea's performance yesterday, I don't think they will be able to defeat Liverpool, so we'll have to wait until the match day.

Truly Chelsea was excellent yesterday though still yet missed some good chances and I'm surprised they were not given Penalty after how Middlesbrough keeper reacted to Chilwell, when has about head the ball but Chelsea really did great to be able to get 6 goals.

Liverpool vs Chelsea in the final won't be easy for any of the team, we saw how they played against each other this very season, the match will still be fierce for both teams but if it ever get to penalty shoot-out then Liverpool has a better chance of winning since we saw in FA Cup final during Tuchel era, were Liverpool took the trophy because Kepa failed to save any penalty and score his one penalty shoot-out. This match I'm not writing Chelsea off except they don't play well it won't be an easy match for Liverpool.

[Roseline492]

After Moh Salah absence due to injury, Manchester City has more opportunities to catch up with the 1 match postponed. 5 points is a bit tough but Liverpool also need to win every game without Moh Salah and in any case I think that's a difficult challenge. The rivalry between the two will continue until the end of the season, but if Manchester City has Haaland back in their squad, every match will automatically become easier. Because there is Kevin De Bruyne beside him to guard and ensure Haaland scores goals.

Mohammed Salah injury was a very sad one for Liverpool because this is a very Critical time that the absence of Mohammed Salah could easily bring a defeat to Liverpool because this is one of the opportunities Manchester City is looking for and having Mohammed Salah out of the table they will surely use it as an opportunity to regain the first position of the premier League table this season, however from now on is gonna be very difficult for Liverpool to be consistent as they were before and considering there match today against Fulham I doubt if they could easily win Fulham because even with the presence of Mohammed Salah on there last match against Fulham they find it a bit difficult to win them let alone Mohammed Salah will not be among the team.

In this case, Arsenal is a quite busy team because they have to divide their schedule with the EPL and Champions League.

The upcoming matches are crucial and seem to define the season at this point. Liverpool and Manchester City have secured their places in the Champions League zone. The remaining two spots are open for any team, and for Arsenal, every game is now like a final chance. With key players returning from injuries, things are about to change. Arsenal can't afford to lose matches at this stage, and the most crucial one is against Nottingham Forest. Arsenal must secure a victory in that game. While they've been vulnerable lately, they need to power through every match to accumulate as many points as possible.

[X-ray]

The first game of this round was a disaster for Chelsea, but in the second game everyone knew that they had the advantage as they were the hosts.Middlesbrough knew that they would not make it through, but they played as a formality in a way.Although some things have improved at Chelsea, there is still a general lack of cohesion.If Pochettino manages to solve this as soon as possible, they will have a chance to finish higher in the league.

That's indeed another improvement from chelsea. It's caused by i was rarely seeing the performance from the club is good like the second half against middlesbourgh. The club becomes even more structured than before.
The first leg was crazy for chelsea caused by pochettino was doing stupid thing like put some players out of their positions. I can't even accept it and i have demanded club to sack him if he kept repeat the same mistake again.
Glad to see that pochettino has opened his mind for so many complaints that came toward him. Idk whether pochet wanna do an experiment in the first leg or not.

However in as much as Chelsea has better performance than Middlesbrough I never believe that Chelsea will be able to score this amount of goals they did, the way the goal was coming I was actually surprise and that was also what disorganized Middlesbrough performance.

As long as pochettino will not be so stupid to put some players to play not in their actual position and im sure chelsea will able to perform better. Benchilwell has become a very important player in this game caused by he was blocking many chances from middlesbourgh.
That's amazing performance from chelsea caused by this club was able scoring a lot of goals against a weak team. At least chelsea was happy with the result. Liverpool will win against fulham.

[Nheer]

Liverpool vs Chelsea in the final won't be easy for any of the team, we saw how they played against each other this very season, the match will still be fierce for both teams but if it ever get to penalty shoot-out then Liverpool has a better chance of winning since we saw in FA Cup final during Tuchel era, were Liverpool took the trophy because Kepa failed to save any penalty and score his one penalty shoot-out. This match I'm not writing Chelsea off except they don't play well it won't be an easy match for Liverpool.

Those two meeting at the final will be intense and most importantly interesting match to watch and no one can say for sure who is going to win. Chelsea are not consistent sonce the beginning of the season but they have always put up a good fight against bigger teams and have managed to surprise us.

It is going to be a final so both teams would be serious and cautious so I wouldn’t expect much goals from the match. You shouldn’t compare the past with the present, most of the players that played back then are no more here and if it should end in a penalty shootout then it will be down to luck. Don’t forget Chelsea’s new goalkeeper Petrovic have shown his ability and have proven not to be a bad goalie in terms of penalty kicks

No assurance on a winner yet but Liverpool are in better form than Chelsea currently and have more chances of winning the final.
