Arsenal is leading the Premier League, 1 point ahead of Manchester City. Actually, Arsenal fans still do not believe that their team will win the title. They are mainly enjoying the great start their team has achieved. The biggest dream of Gunners fans at that time was that none of their key players would be injured so that the good days would last longer.

Not winning the premier league for a long time now have made Arsenal fans to hope for luck in Arsenal winning the league title and due to the fact that on several occasions that Arsenal had an advantage to win the title but all of a sudden things normally changes for them and they end up not winning the title again.

Anything is possible to happen in the football. I think that i shall remind you that if arsenal is not having winning mentality and in result, this club can also bottled many matches at the end of season. I think that if anyone should not expect big from their favorite teams since arsenal is still having a chance to lose as well.
Just because it's sitting at the top place and it doesn't mean arsenal can go down again soon. There will be so many things to happen in the future. Liverpool and Manchester City have the same chances, and I think that it's quite clear for the club to perform as well as before.
Arsenal has very big chance to bottling this trophy too. People are over reacted to the first position achieved by arsenal. Everything is still remain unpredictable. Im not really sure arsenal can get three points with the upcoming fixtures.

Arsenal may be leading the table but the tension is high so they need to be very consistent in winning if they must win the title because I see Manchester city and Liverpool not giving up the title to Arsenal easily as they would want to compete for the league title till the season ends.

It's only leading with the same points against Liverpool. Arsenal has only a more goal advantage compared to Liverpool. I would not even call these clubs leading the competition. Arsenal and Liverpool are still in the same position. Liverpool and city have only 1 points gap to the arsenal. Yet liverpool has same points to the arsenal.
How can you think those clubs should give up for the title while they are not even 1 inch to the arsenal? Arsenal is potentially to be trophyless again this season. Im not believing if liverpool and city will lose against arsenal in the title races.
Arsenal can get perfect result in the last game but the upcoming fixtures are gonna be very hard to predict it.

Tottenham are really unbelievable. Before the Fulham game they destroyed Aston Villa away. Maybe the red card also had an impact but their game was still impressive. But only a week later their performance against Fulham was a big disappointment. Defense and offense both were horrible. Losing this game by a score like 3-0 isn't acceptable no matter they played away. 

I really want to see Tottenham being more competitive than this. They started the season pretty good but there isn't much thing left of that performance now. I don't know maybe this inconsistency is related to their squad being not competitive enough for playing bigger.

I was not even feeling surprised so of the last match. Totenham played like a mediocre club and it deseves to lost against fulham with so many goals. I salute to the marco silva, fulham is much more calm when it was playing the game now and it's not rushing like what totenham did.
The gameplay from fulham is more structured compared to the totenham. Ange needs to tell his club to play even more calmly rather than always try to rush but it gets countered back again from its opponent.

Totenham is totenham and it will never meet your expectation. You expect totenham to be more competitive but this is what they have got. They were also being so clueless and this is the main problem owned by the club.
Totenham played so badly in this game. Ange shall be blamed caused by he keeps use high line defense which is not suitable to the totenham's gameplay.

Such a heated rivalry among Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City... 

It looks like Arteta wants this title much more this season. Arsenal are the most scorer team in the PL right now as you know. The current winning series (8 wins) is also unbelievable! There are still 10 more weeks to go and honestly the point I'm wondering the most is if they will mess up again in the final moments just like last season. 

If Arsenal don't manage to make it I have hopes for Liverpool to end Manchester City's title series.

We all know that Tottenham at the start of the season played very well so they were at the top of the standings for some time, sometimes it's like that when a team plays well at the start of the season towards the end of the season they usually play badly and lack consistency which is the case with Tottenham now and also Arsenal last season where they were at the top of the standings for a long time but towards the end of the season they played less well so Manchester City became EPL champions last season.

Look at the teams that play badly at the start of the season, always slowly play well towards the end of the season and finally finish in the top four of the standings or win the title, that's why Tottenham is currently a clear example even though in the previous match they embarrassed Aston Villa and then were embarrassed again by Fullham, that is clearly a crushing defeat and must be immediately corrected so that in the next match Tottenham can get a good result and it is clear that conceding three goals really must immediately improve their back line which is not so good so that they don't concede more goals in the next match .

Sometimes they often lose concentration in their last few matches, the defeat against Fulham really hurt a lot of supporters and betting holders for Tottenham, instead they thought Tottenham would win the match but instead they were slaughtered as guests with many corrections in several line sectors they need to immediately need a significant overhaul at the end of the season. If there is no overhaul in the Tottenham camp, it seems that they will experience a setback in this phase, it is not impossible, in fact this has already been seen in their last few matches, at least entering the Champions League zone. ..

Tottenham played very well in the early matches of the season with an unbeaten streak, but gradually, with the force depth not strong enough to maintain their form, they fell behind. Tottenham's decline is partly due to Kean's departure, and the overreliance on James Maddison in his playing style makes it very easy for Tottenham to be caught. Now, only Arsenal has enough strength to threaten Mancity's championship, with Tottenham maintaining a top 4 position which has been a success for them this season.

Tottenham are often inconsistent in each of their matches. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to perform well at the start of the season but their performance became inconsistent at the end of the season. Everyone favored Tottenham to win the match. Fulham is a mid-table team. I know Tottenham can lose to Fulham because they are not consistent in every game. But losing with a score of 3-0 was completely beyond my predictions. It was a humiliating defeat for Tottenham. Tottenham is now in fifth place in the standings, and they are 3 points behind Aston Villa in fourth place, but Tottenham still has one game left. Tottenham must improve their performance if they want to play in the Champions League next season.

Tottenham started the season very well. They were able to maintain the winning streak for a long time. The players of Tottenham had a very organized performance. We were very surprised to see such a consistent performance from Tottenham. But Tattenham gradually declined. And Tottenham's performance at the moment is very erratic. In particular I would say that any of us Tottenham players are not getting good performances due to poor defence. Had the defense been stronger, Tottenham would probably have been able to continue their winning streak.

Tottenham's decline is partly due to Kean's departure, and the overreliance on James Maddison in his playing style makes it very easy for Tottenham to be caught. Now, only Arsenal has enough strength to threaten Mancity's championship, with Tottenham maintaining a top 4 position which has been a success for them this season.

After harry kane left tottenham we thought that tottenham's performance this season will drop badly. Because Tottenham's main scorer was Kane. But without Kane, Tottenham have had a very good start to the season. The bonding between the players in the squad was strong. So Tottenham's performance was quite stable. Hopefully we will see stronger performances from Tottenham next season. But they definitely need to tighten up the defense.

The same mistake that keeps repeated by ange over and over. Still wondering when ange will able to realize that if he was totally wrong in this case. He keeps used the wrong strategy for totenham which is also putting the club into the big risk. Ange wanted totenham to play offensively but it's not meant if the club must have sacrificed its defensive line too.
Ange shall not repeat the same mistakes that being made by him in the previous games. He must try to use low block instead of high line defensive like the match against fulham. Fulha was able exploring any chances properly and it makes totenham lost three points.

I really want to see Tottenham being more competitive than this. They started the season pretty good but there isn't much thing left of that performance now. I don't know maybe this inconsistency is related to their squad being not competitive enough for playing bigger.

Me too but as long as ange will kep try to force himself to use inappropriate strategy like that and it will be useless. ANge needs to try something news that will also make the club's strategy to be balanced. Ange's strategy was totally unbalanced.

Sometimes I really get confused on what's really the problem with some teams because you can't tell me that after a very glamourous win, you then fall out to face such an interesting loss. The particular thing that happened to Tottenham is the reason why I don't like playing them even when am staking a bet because after the assurance that they might given to you due to their previous win, confidence is what you will have when placing a bet on them.

If only Tottenham still had Harry Kean who usually score 25 goals and above it would have been a spectacular season for them. Tottenham have shown strength at some point but it is not enough. Their fans are definitely feeling the absence of their club legend. Yes Arsenal are showing good sign that they have improved from their last season disappointment, when they narrowly lost the league to Manchester City. But this time around they are not just battling with Manchester City alone but with another familiar team which is Liverpool. Arsenal has to show how determined they are when they play city in two weeks time.

Some teams are born stars and some are born to be like sinusoidal, no matter how the season is very easy, they don't go consistently, they always very and that's how I see Tottenham. They can perform like they are the best team for the season but that inconsistency is the reason why they I was born to this life. I used to think that their midfield and center back were weak because of some injured players but ever since they came back, the performance isn't too different like the way it was even when the were in injury.

I don't know what's wrong with Fulham, they are not too different from Tottenham, today they are serious and tomorrow they are not, only this month they flog Manchester United, Brighton and Tottenham and the are right below Chelsea, they look like a second hand vehicle that perform well sometime and fail you when they need them the most. You can't even trust them for bets.

[QueenVera]

The current 1 point gap between the three teams certainly indicates that this season we see a fierce competition for the championship, Arsenal are currently at the top and even when they are at the top they still cannot be favourites for the title, as you said, of course last season was a painful experience for Arsenal and the fans,  From the start of the season they continued to run by leaving the rival team but it was Manchester City who were able to reach the finish and disappointed Arsenal fans.

This season may not be different from last season, although Arsenal are now quite superior in the Premier League and even so far they are still consistent in every game they play, but their mentality often falls when facing crucial matches and even the depth of the squad that is not qualified often makes them also slip when they have to face a busy schedule,  If we look at Arsenal's journey so far, we can actually see if Arsenal is able to compete with big teams, but indeed if we pay attention sometimes it is Arsenal's own mistakes that often make them out of the championship competition so far.

Arsenal this season have been very competitive, they've being able to tactically gain good stands in their EPL games and even in the country cups and continental contests too. They've got the squad they need to compete at higher competitions but one would think if the squad is efficient enough to stand the final games heat. Mikel Arteta has been able to groom the boys up to possessing heavy talents and confidence they put forward in all of their encounters this season. Even with the big teams in the EPL.

 I won't be suprise if Arsenal shock everyone this season, they've been very impressive lately by scoring many goals in their recent matches and aso they've been able to mount series of pressure and yes they've made a name and an image of fury for themselves. The current arsenal isn't the old arsenal that's looked down on always. For Manchester City, their boss Pep is one good coach that has good foresight. His style of play, choice of players and combination of squad makes Manchester City formidable in all their displays.

 City themselves has a lot to offer in football, they're one team that are tough to encounter, this is because of Pep. How best can a team be with 3 different squads that are too good to face any rival. Even the youngsters are doing far better than old big Dawgs in other teams. The best thing that's ever happened to Manchester City is Pep Guardiola. Sometimes one would wonder if he'd be able to do these exploits with a different team, the answer is yes. We've seen his works in the clubs he's been before City and we've seen that he's the right man for any club's managerial position.

Do you think that is the problem of Spurs? I think not.
Spurs have been indifferent since Harry Kane left. Besides, he needed to leave and having to keep such a player who’s mind isn’t with the team, who is seeking for some trophy year with a big and better team, you wouldn’t find such player being a team player no more.

Spurs have got good players to have step up and push the team toward a more goal scoring position as well. We have the likes of Maddison whom have been a very good midfield for Spurs, Son who has comfortably fit in Harry’s shoes for goal scoring, Richarlison on the other hand has been efficient with goal scoring as well. Spurs haven’t got much need to worry, they’ve been good as far as I see it. As much as when they had Harry Kane during the past two seasons before he’s departure.

Just watched the highlights of West Ham Vs Aston Villa, pretty even game, and the draw is a fair result. Both teams had identical shots/shots on target statistic, although the visitors (Villa) dominated in possession and even scored a late goal but it was denied after video replay (handball).
This was the type of game that Aston Villa needs to win if they want to stay in the top 4 (Champions League group stage places). As it is now, they are likely to lose their current spot Spurs should they win their outstanding game by more than one goal.

They had alla it takes to win that game against Fulham but as usual, they bottled it. One thing I had to look at again has got to be the fact that these London derby games are completely difficult than we think it will be at the end of ninty minutes of the game. No much cases of Injury reported within the Tottenham Hotspur squad and not involved in the Champions League not even the Fa Cup. They should have done better to win that game honestly.

Beating Aston Villa was well earned as they showed during that game how they wanted to qualify for the Champions League Competition for next season.
The red card did affected them game too. Mind blown to see the club Coventry defeating Wolverampton at home.

Arsenal or Liverpool both have their own reasons for being determined to win the championship this season. For Arsenal, it was revenge for losing the championship to Mancity last year. As for Liverpool, this could be a meaningful championship trophy to end the Klopp era, and with Liverpool's current squad, this could be their best period to win the championship. However, Mancity is still too strong, I have the feeling they will still win the Premier League cup this season, even the UCL cup.

The three clubs still have a strong determination to compete for the title, I also don't know what will happen in the remainder of this season, who will be better at maintaining their performance, because they still have a busy schedule not only in the Premier League competition but also in major competitions Champions League and also the European League. However, if Arsenal is eliminated early in the quarter-finals when they face Bayern Munich, then Arsenal will have more opportunities to focus on the Premier League, while Liverpool and Manchester City are more focused on the big match, even though the Premier League is also a priority for Manchester City and Liverpool but still, if they are not able to maintain balance, they will lose the opportunity.

But even so, I remember that last season Manchester City did not only focus on winning the Champions League title, they also focused on the Premier League and the FA Cup so that they won the treble winner last season, which was an extraordinary achievement for Manchester City during their time exploring the world of football, and Currently Manchester City still has the opportunity to achieve that again because in all competitions Manchester City still looks strong, it is still advancing in the FA Cup semi-finals, it is still competing strongly in the Premier League and it is also still competing strongly in the Champions League. Any club that competes with Manchester City must be careful be careful and don't do anything wrong.

I think it is more than just a revenge for Arsenal. The last time we saw Arsenal as the champions was the 2003/2004 season. It has been 20 years you know. This shows how good Arsenal have been about building a squad that can win more titles in the Premier League. This is due to their transfer policies as well of course otherwise they have had money that is enough to build a better squad for titles.

Arsenal like to invest in young players which is a really great policy. However while doing this they should bring some big and experienced names as well to be more consistent. Liverpool and Manchester City have many players meeting this criterion.
