Manchester city is already 20 minutes gone they are still playing goalless but they are possessing Bournemouth and I believe and also think this game is going to be a must win for Manchester city because they really need to approach up in the premier league table and their opponent is on the second position on the premier so I think if Manchester city defeat them, Manchester city will take their position and that is why I said it is a must win match for Manchester city and considering the fact that they are playing at Manchester city home.

Manchester City is the favorite to win this match but looking at how well Bournemouth have performed this season, it’s clear that this is not going to be an easy match for the Cityzens. Pep Guardiola needs to win the game to push Manchester City up the table.

Of course, who else do you think will win the match, I don't think that their visitors can. Haaland has broken the deadlock on the 27th minutes with a clinical finish. What a good pace of Haaland as he made that finish for a goal.

Bournemouth is not going to accept defeat easily. Eight minutes after Haaland goal, Adams was able to cancel the goal with a header to balance the scoreline as 1-1.

City continues pressing their visitors because they weren't happy on that equalizer from Adams. Will City be able to get a second goal before the end of the first half?

The match seemed tough after that Manchester city scored their very account opening goal from Erling Haaland and Bournemouth without hesitation equals the goal. But Manchester city continued its mounting of pressure after a contentious goal that seem to be a foul and where the goal keeper got a yellow card for that, but city doubled down their efforts by Haaland scoring a second that has given them a lead in this first half.

[Velvet78]

The first half was quite much fun honestly. A 2-1 lead by Manchester City. Haaland is as always... Maybe he didn't score in the last game but this doesn't change anything for him. He is having a tremendous season. 

If Guardiola's students win the game they will temporarily take the 2nd position in the standings. But if Sunderland beat Everton tomorrow, they are going to be in that position. What a season they are having right after promoting to the Premier League...

City is not going to relent in scoring more goals because they have seen a way to breakthrough Bournemouth defense easily with a counter attack. They scoreline is currently 3-1. City was able to get a goal in the second half by Foden to the 60th minutes to widen their goal difference.

This is a sure win from City as everyone expected. City is currently on second position on the table.

Manchester City's is definitely going to get a win in the game as they have successfully destabilize the defense of Bournemouth, their tactics is very clear counter attack the team and strike once they try to pull out the ball another player will launch the ball back and they will have opportunities to score once more it worked for for them twice now they are capitalizing on that as their best advantage.  Foden and Haaland are having a good performance they are sure of winning the game but we expect more goals from them because Bournemouth is helpless in the game.

To be fair, Bournemouth are not weak opponents even though Manchester City were favorites to win the game Bournemouth didn’t park the bus they came out and played fearlessly and while they may have lost today but I think their fans should be proud of the team, what they have achieved so far this season and where they are at in the league table.

The game ended with a victory for Manchester City



It was a game that Manchester City won with relative ease. It's true that after Manchester City scored, they conceded a goal within minutes, but even so, Manchester City didn't let it get to them. They focused on the game, scored a second goal, and managed to maintain control. In the second half, Manchester City scored a third goal and won the game. This was a very important victory for Manchester City because if they had lost this game, they would have risked falling far behind Arsenal, and their title hopes would likely have been compromised. With this victory, Manchester City fans can continue to have hope of fighting for the title.

It was an easy win for Manchester City. They won 3-1 after 90 minutes, proving once again that they're a great team. With their current squad, Manchester City is already in a strong position to win the Premier League title. They started the season a bit poorly, but they're slowly recovering. We know that consistency is everything for Pep Guardiola. We've seen consistent Manchester City play in previous years, winning the title despite dropping significant points. I don't know if something similar will happen this year, but it seems they're slowly recovering.

To be fair, Nottingham Forest are not weak opponents even though Manchester City were favorites to win the game Nottingham Forest didn’t park the bus they came out and played fearlessly and while they may have lost today but I think their fans should be proud of the team, what they have achieved so far this season and where they are at in the league table.

Nottingham Forest match was against Manchester United yesterday, today's game is between Manchester City and Bournemouth.

Bournemouth lost to Manchester City, they played very good in the match but it wasn't enough to attain victory.

Scores ended as 3:1, Bournemouth took the possession while City stayed with the win and took credits which has moved them up to second position, only Sunderland can take them down after the game against Everton.

The truth is that t won't be long and tickets will bleed. The progression too has been somewhat average as they only performed very outstandingly against ATM who they played 4 goals to nothing. If they can sustain this tempo until December ending, then we may start having hope on them. Since arsenal lost the trophy few years ago after topping the table for close to 300 days with about 8 games to go, I began to loose interest in their lead. They have to keep the streak on. The season is interesting as no team is too formidable  to loose until the end.



I would personally spot weaknesses at the front line. A team like arsenal shouldn't convert only 2 out of 9 shots on goal against a team who had only one shot that had only 1 shot on target. Arsenal need more concentration on goals to boost the confidence of the team in order not to start loosing and drawing more.

No matter how much of the game you dominate, you may end up with a loss. I have seen teams with 70% possession of the ball and 10+ shots on goal, end up losing their games. This means that unless you give people a guaranteed way of moving further, we are not going to get what we want at all times.

We should be focusing on how to get a better result, and should be focusing on how to get the best out of what you have. Arsenal did manage to do a fine job and they got what they want out of this game, yes they dominated but they also won and got the score they wanted. If they keep this up then we are going to see them keep playing like this and have a great situation where they will end up with the title finally after so many years.

Yeah it was very tough for Bournemouth, the early goal really weakened their confidence cause even after they managed to equalise, City still scored another goal and made it tougher, well Bournemouth tried their best, they resisted City's dominance at some point and managed to score a goal, but their best wasn't enough today.

 I was looking out for Semenyo, he stood out for his team but today wasn't his day cause City was far better than his team , anyways he's a  fantastic player and I believe he'll have an outstanding career in England, hopefully he'll sign for a better team next summer. However, would Haaland ever stop scoring? He was very brilliant today and his effort made him score a brace.

I think that Manchester City deserve more better at this time. For now I can't say that they supposed to be to the top as we can see that every team in the premier league are currently fighting for the win and to get their 3 points. The league has become more competitive and there has not been any small team again. I'm so happy for their victory at least they have moved to the second place after all the teams have completed their weekly game. So now they are sitting second position in the league table right now with 19 points and Arsenal with 25 points presently.

Yes, you are right. No matter how much a team dominates a game, it can lose momentum. Many teams have conceded goals at the last minute even after playing well throughout the match. So who won the last match is the main thing.

Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League points table. Their unstoppable play makes it seem like they could be a bit difficult to beat. Although there is still a lot of season left.

But Arsenal are not the team you are talking about. They have always been a good team. Arsenal can control the ball and the game properly.

[Issa56]

It was an easy win for Manchester City. They won 3-1 after 90 minutes, proving once again that they're a great team. With their current squad, Manchester City is already in a strong position to win the Premier League title.

Manchester city are getting back to form, they didn’t start the season well, but as we can see there is improvement in their performance, and they are currently in second position. Out of 5 premier league matches played by Manchester city, they have won 4 matches, and they have lost just 1 match.

Arsenal will have to keep up with their good performance, any slight mistake from Arsenal, I won’t be surprise that Manchester City will be taking the first position from Arsenal. I was thinking maybe Liverpool will be winning the premier league this season, but their performance has been so poor, even weak teams are winning Liverpool easily, and if Liverpool cant improve their defense, I don’t think their performance will improve so much.

Brighton hosted Leeds. It wasn't a particularly difficult match for Brighton, who won comfortably at home. Both teams took plenty of shots, but it was the home side who were more effective in front of goal.
Burnley couldn't do anything against a strong Arsenal. Arsenal dominated their opponents away from home and secured a comfortable victory. Arsenal, who defeated their opponents with goals from Gyökeres and Rice in the first half, continues to maintain its lead.

Leeds United and Wolves are two clubs that will not escape relegation no matter what they do to evade it. They are one of the worse sides currently and have lost almost all the games they have played. A bit of hope for Burnley and Sunderland who are working hard. Brighton won fine after they looked like one to lose. West Ham United fans are not happy after getting their first ever win in a very long time. Arsenal should not just dominate but make plans to win the league. They have toiled hard for it.

....Tottenham are currently in third place with 17 points, while Chelsea are in ninth place with 14 points. The relatively small gap between the clubs makes it possible for a change in standings. In the last match, Tottenham managed to win against Chelsea with a narrow score of 1 - 0.

I heard that 15 main Tottenham players got injured!, This is insane because the Spurs want to hold their position in the Champions League zone. Yes, on statistics, Chelsea seems to have no problem to defeat the Spurs because they have better H2H statistics. So far, Chelsea has won 4 matches, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. But, because the Spurs play at home, and Chelsea's performance is still trying to new scheme tactic, I think this match will be full of tension. This chance: Cristiano Romero, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke, who got injured, should be utilized to the fullest if Chelsea wants to get the winning streak!.

A total of eight players are injured, some of whom have been injured since the start of the season and will only return at the end of December. Of those eight, several are key players, two of whom are center forwards: Solanke and Kolo Muani. This has had a significant impact on the quality of their attacking line. Since both of them were injured, their attacking has dropped significantly against Chelsea. Kolo Muani, who was CF's hope of replacing Solanke, had to fall after the match against Everton. Their injuries are quite serious, and they will miss around 10-13 matches. This time, Tottenham lost to Chelsea with a narrow 0-1 score at home, dropping Tottenham to 5th place.

The Premier League is a league that has very fierce competition; if the club doesn't have a mature plan to compete during the season, I am sure it will be on degradation prematurely on standing. A club like Wolves won't let it happen, they immediately fired their head coach after 45-day contract extension, this is very important in order to survive on the Premier League. If Leeds does not do the same as Wolves, they will surely suffer the same fate as another club in the degradation zone. So, I am surprise the promotion club like Sunderland able to survive in competition, they have a mature plan and know exactly the situation.

The weekend has come and gone and all premier league teams has shown there full potentials making it easy to draw conclusions on how there strength and capability may be at the first quarter of the tournament. In the just concluded week challenge between all teams, the likes of Manchester city, Liverpool and Chelsea that where written off due to diminishing and inconsistent performance where able to capitalize on opponent's weakness to bring joy and happiness to the heart of fans and management by winning in an excellent manner while arsenal still maintains there consistent performance which propelled  them to the top without doubt.

Yeah, I was actually very happy to see that Arsenal (my favorite team) are doing very well and currently leading the premier league table, I was happy too to see that Liverpool also won their game against Aston Villa with a 2 to nill win in favor of Liverpool, this is coming after weeks and weeks of failure, losing (I think) 4 or 5 games in a row.

Manchester city also did their best my winning their game against Bournemouth, the only team I expected to win their game but failed to was Manchester united, though they managed to hold their opponent to a 2 - 2 draw, so I guess what's not very bad any way.

This premier league season has progressed really nicely, and I am personally looking forward to what the rest of the coming weeks look like, I only want to see Arsenal remain at the top till the very end of this season..
