Sometimes teams just don't do well enough, and that happens, there is really no reason to blame anyone or anything for it, it is football and no matter how good you do ,sometimes you just end up losing, that is just how it works. I understand it is not that easy to fix it, but I think it is quite important to make sure that you are doing fine enough. I personally believe that we need to focus on what we could do, and that is why we are going to end up with a greater result here and there.

I believe that Arsenal did nothing wrong, they just got unlucky and that is why they lost this game, the only luck they have is that Liverpool lost as well, so it is only two points difference between the top, and they could end up getting lucky.

I won't get surprised if Arsenal throw away their Premier League title chance once again. They have already given the advantage to Manchester City in the standings by losing that game. Arteta has made a big progress with this team since he joined maybe but they are still unable to complete their main target I'm afraid. 

Im surely believing that if arsenal and its fans will be mocked once again by other club's fans. Don't you remember what arsenal did last season? They got everything they need to win the competition but they were bottle jobs at the end of season. So, same situation is happening here. Nothing surprise when it comes from arsenal.
That's why arsenal has been known as a bottle job club.

Aston Villa were of course a tough team to beat on paper but we were still talking about an in-form Arsenal. They got the worst kind of a result. Manchester City have waited for this moment patiently and finally taken the opportunity to take the lead. From now on I started believing in Arsenal and Liverpool less to break Manchester City's title streak.

Well, arsenal is mentally destroyed caused by it was unable winning the game against bayern. Arsenal's burdening now with so many hard fixtures to come. I believe even pep was not expecting liverpool and arsenal to lost in the last match against palace and aston villa.
Pep needs only to push his players to win all of remaining games and city is back to back champion.

Since Aston Villa is coached by Unai Emery, we can see how the transformation is happening to Aston Villa today and even now they deserve to be juxtaposed with big Premier League clubs today, previously Aston Villa has never been able to compete in the top 4 and even to get into the top 10 zone is still very difficult for them to do,  Moreover, we know that Aston Villa has often lost their main players in the transfer market so far and that makes them continue to weaken every season, but the arrival of Unai Emery has changed Aston Villa's current situation and they are a team that can make Arsenal lose the title in the last two seasons, that's why I am not surprised to see Arsenal lose the game because indeed the Aston Villa coached by Unai Emery is really enough powerful and dangerous.

Arsenal and Liverpool defeat  this week certainly gives an advantage for Manchester City in winning the championship trophy, currently they have left Arsenal and Liverpool with a difference of 2 points, so at a crucial time like now it is very appropriate for Manchester City to maintain their performance and consistency in winning every remaining game, besides that if seeing the rest of Manchester City's matches which are fairly easier than Arsenal and Liverpool, of course they have a chance It's great to win the league this season.

Stories in football have many surprises. And Arsenal's loss to Aston Villa is proof of that. Arsenal's young players still show immaturity at decisive moments. Indeed, many people have bet and lost money in this match; I am no exception. Manchester City is the team that has always remained at its best since the beginning of the season when they were missing their pillars, and now there is no reason why they can lose their form. They will continue to be the defending champions this season. This is considered lucky for Manchester City. Or is it the instability of Arsenal and Liverpool?

Arsenal being lost in the fierce title race is another surprise in Premier League. Aston Villa is a strong team this season that have ambition and chance to finish in top four position, Arsenal being lost at their own home is still a big surprise. This result makes football people in question about the mentality of Arsenal in decisive situation.

The losses of Liverpool and Arsenal make people much eager to put Manchester City as favorite to wi the league. The consistency of Manchester City in decisive moments proves that this advantageous situation is not luck for them. Having experience and strong mentality is always a big advantageous factor to win a competition. Manchester City need only to maintain their consistency till the end of the season for them to lift the Premier League trophy.

It is already clear that Manchester City is the champion, there is no other strong team that could defeat Manchester City, so these are Manchester City next games:

Brighton = in the last 5 games Brighton only won once



Nottingham Forest = in the last 5 games Nottingham Forest only won once



Wolves = in the last 5 games Wolves only won once



Fulham = in the last 5 games Fulham only won two games



Tottenham = we all know that tottenham is an unstable team with a terrible defense, manchester city will win easily when they play against tottenham



West ham = in the last 5 games west ham only won once



Let's be honest, does anyone here believe that Manchester City will lose in the next games against these weak teams that are getting worse with each game? I don't think anyone believes that. Manchester is already the champion and they deserve to be champions, they are the best team in the premier league, they have the best squad in the premier league and they have the best coach in the premier league and they have a lot of financial resources. So currently in the Premier League there is no team capable of competing at the same level as Manchester City. the other teams should focus on improving next season. unfortunately things won't be good for liverpool next season because it's not easy for a new coach to win the premier league in the same year he starts working

Regarding Arsenal's match against Bayern Munich. I'm afraid that failure will come to them with a bad mentality and having to be guests in Germany. It was a hard win for Arsenal. It's true that history repeats itself. They have lost their chance to win the Premier League. Bayern Munich can continue eliminating them in the Champions League arena.

It's not the first time Aston Villa have beaten Arsenal this season. Still this season Aston Villa beat Arsenal, it was in the December game in which Aston Villa scored 1 goal and Arsenal failed to score any goals. That's why I wasn't surprised by Arsenal's defeat, because 4 months ago Aston Villa beat Arsenal. unfortunately Arsenal fans won't see Arsenal conquering the premier league any time soon in my opinion. As long as Manchester City has Guardiola, I doubt the other teams will be able to become Premier League champions.

There will be argument soon by the time Manchester City takes the league one more time. Things are happening and it so saddened that Arsenal of all club could not perform well so that their fans would be a little excited to see them win the league after years. I just hope to see things change hand so that Arsenal would be victorious soon maybe not this year. We have been seeing the way Arsenal had been performing very well from the start and quite excruciating for fans to see that they are slacking when it's close to the time when the club needed to win but they are busy losing matches that could be very relevant.

This was a very interesting week in the English Premier League. Both Arsenal and Liverpool actually lost. And that has made Manchester City become the first team on the table.  I knew if Manchester City was given a chance, they would take that chance very well. And how both Arsenal and Liverpool lost against relatively weaker opponents is really out of my understanding. Both of them shouldn’t have lost.

Actually, both of them should have at least gotten one point from these matches. I thought getting one point was going to be the worst-case scenario for them. But somehow they have ended up losing. And now they are going to pay for the mistake that they have made. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are on 71 points and Manchester City is leading them by two points. and don’t worry all three teams have played the same number of matches.

The result of the games involving the top three teams in the English Premier League over the weekend has been a surprise to many bit to Liverpool and Arsenal fans, it's been a shock that most of them are yet to recover from while to Manchester City fans, a result that they're very happy to witness because of the impact on their team's quest to win the English Premier League trophy for the fourth time in a row. After Manchester City defeated Luton Town to climb to the summit of the English Premier League table on Saturday, many people had expected Liverpool and Arsenal to follow suit by getting all three points from their games on Sunday but to the surprise of football fans across the globe, none of the two teams were able to get a draw in their games.
Now that Manchester City are leading the English Premier League standings, I think it'll be very difficult for any of Liverpool or Arsenal to get past them again and that's because Pep Guardiola's Manchester City over the years have shown that they're not the kind of team that'll relinquish their lead at the top of the league table when they have less than 7 matches to play. Liverpool and Arsenal still stands a chance because they're just two points behind Manchester City

Exactly this time last season, Arsenal started dropping important points and they are repeating the same mistake again this season. The mistake came from the couch himself. Infact, I have never seen Arterta so tactically poor like the way he was yesterday. He made silly substitution, Havertz and Zinchenko shouldn't have play at all but I don't understand his relationship with Havertz. You don't change a winning team all in the name of trying new formation especially in an important game as that. It's very obvious even to the blind that Arsenal struggle to score goals anytime Havertz play as a midfielder but Arterta doesn't seem to pay attention to that. But I'm not too surprised because that is what Arterta knows how to do best, giving high hopes on winning the league and eventually surrender at eleventh hours to his master.

I was really devastated by the result of arsenal against Aston villa, Liverpool that where your closest rivals on the title race had lost their match 1-0 to Crystal palace, it was just easy to capitalize on that and win your own game, which will easily make you to top the league at least with few points and not on goal difference this time around, they just went on and lost the game, not even a draw.

Trust Manchester city, they will hardly sleep on opportunities like these, and considering the fact that they are currently the league leaders now, we will definitely see a different Manchester City, pep guardiola will so Orient his players about the significance of these moment and he will come up with tactical mindset to attach to it.

Sincerely at this point, I don't know what exactly is wrong with Jürgen klopp and his boys, they lost against Atalanta in their champions League encounter, ordinarily we where hoping we will see a Liverpool with a different mindset and style of play after coming back from that encounter with Atalanta, unfortunately they lost the match against crystal palace. At this point i cannot pinpoint whether if it is fatigue on the side of the players or there has been no tactical improvement to maintain their winning spree.

The worst consequence of hoping that Arsenal and Liverpool can break Manchester City's title record this season is disappointment. Of course, that's because Liverpool and Arsenal have so far failed to do so when the league only has 6 games left before the season ends, while Manchester City has managed to create a 2 point gap above Arsenal and Liverpool.

There was a lot of disappointment in Arsenal and Liverpool last weekend and that was clearly due to their failure to get points in their respective matches, but this kind of thing is very normal when we are approaching the end of the season. Each team will fight to take advantage of any match to win maximum points, so Crystal Palace and Aston Villa's victory is very natural considering that they also have good plans for themselves.

it has become a tradition for Arsenal to always get to the top, and then the next thing is to fall What is now the point of going higher? They should give serious people a chance, not get the opportunity and waste it because I always wonder why the same thing will keep happening.  when I was bragging about Manchester City, I was not just saying, Which club would you say is better than Manchester City, even Liverpool when they were hyper? I was just smiling because they thought it was their season but they all got surprised. If it is Arteta, the man has tried, but it looks like the club is not interested in winning any trophy, so it is not Arteta's fault. And if you look at all the progress of all the coaches, who would you say is the best? Not other than Pep, whose spirit is high and ready to take on anyone this season. We are carrying the two trophies, mark my word.

Tonight Chelsea will face Everton and by the record of their last six meetings, they have won each other exactly the same number of times, and scored exactly the same total goals in those six meetings. Chelsea won Everton twice, Everton won twice and they played draw twice. This shows that tonight is a match of two equal teams and the reasonable outcome is a draw.

However, recent performance of both teams shows that Chelsea is at advantage as they have not lost any match since last month. They have maintained a very impressive record, scoring many goals as well. Everton on the other hand have been doing very badly within the same period and their away record is also very terrible. It will be hard for Chelsea not to win but because Everton will want to avoid relegation, they will try to hold the match to a draw.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea is currently enjoying a 3-0 lead over their visitors Everton, and Cole Palmer has been all over the pitch and putting the balls at the back of the net, But problem I've got with is their inability to defend their goals, the defense line is very porous making to conceed unnecessary goals which they're not supposed to , I'm still not confident about this lead until the final whistle, But I'm happy due to the fact that Cole Palmer already gotten a hat-trick in this game putting him on 19 goal in total, helping close up the gap between him and Erling Haaland who is currently the highest goal scorer in the league.

You sound funny and ridiculous, you think if Arsenal has the capacity to win the Premier League they will deliberately allowed Manchester City to the league title? Why didn't you say the same thing to Liverpool because right now, they are not different from each other just the goal difference is what is keeping them apart. If we are going to be sincere, it will be difficult right now ft Arsenal to make it unless Manchester City lose one two game and Arsenal didn't lose any from their remaining 6 and that's very difficult to achived.

Aston Villa were of course a tough team to beat on paper but we were still talking about an in-form Arsenal. They got the worst kind of a result. Manchester City have waited for this moment patiently and finally taken the opportunity to take the lead.

I didn't expect Atson Villa to disgrace Arsenal the way they did on Emirate stadium, 2 goals is a lot in this kind of tough match and Arsenal has non. The first leg I can say that Arsenal weak then but now they don't look weak and yet they lose to Aston Villa in the second leg which is a very bad performance because they will now suffer the consequences of not making it.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Definitely too soon to celebrate but it really looks like Man City are on their way to win the league for the 4th time in a row. It's not just about the 2 points advantage (which is not a lot) but about the fact they have potentially easier games left to play than Liverpool/Arsenal and, moreover, they are the most consistent in performance.

Aston Villa won with Arsenal fair and square. It was not due to luck. They were a better team in that match. I can't say the same about Crystal Palace though, Liverpool has managed to create plenty of chances but were out of luck in trying to convert them into goals.

But that's the beauty of football, if not for surprises like that, it would be boring.

Yeah there is still time of course. But it was still unbelievable to see Arsenal and Liverpool losing 3 points on the same week just as Manchester City would like. A 2-point difference can be melted of course but now those 2 will wait for Manchester City to serve the chance on a silver platter to them.

I fully agree on Aston Villa. They even had some huge goal chances wasted like a couple of times hitting the goal post. The score could have been a really embarrassing one for Arsenal which shows the seriousness of it.

The excitement level is at top now surely and can't wait to watch next week games already.

Manchester City are too good not to drop their long-term win rate. Arsenal may have even given up this season's cup to Manchester City with this defeat, because it is much more difficult for City to lose. With Arsenal looking so fit they should have beaten Aston Villa. Arteta suffered great damage in the championship race.

Arteta has to be included in the championship race again forgetting this defeat. They are still in the group, but the leading team is Manchester City. I do not expect them to make mistakes. Just like Liverpool and Arsenal.

Arsenal already missed the chance to win EPL trophy many times, including this time. It makes sense if everyone won't be surprised, it is not only you to see it as a common thing for Arsenal. Anyway, I don't understand why Arsenal should got a lose in a home way against Aston Villa. It is a very bad result, the defeat makes Arsenal drops its position to 2nd place. In the match, Arsenal really dominated the match but they failed to score goals. It is a big question about the quality of Arsenal attackers in scoring goals.

Sure, Arteta has made Arsenal be a very strong team. Unfortunately, Arteta is always unlucky in competing for the title. With the defeat, Man City surely gets the advantage. Moreover, Liverpool also got a lose against a small team at home (vs Crystal Palace). This is also a very strange result, it is unbelievable to see Liverpool losing at home against Crystal Palace.

Aston Villa were of course a tough team to beat on paper but we were still talking about an in-form Arsenal. They got the worst kind of a result. Manchester City have waited for this moment patiently and finally taken the opportunity to take the lead. From now on I started believing in Arsenal and Liverpool less to break Manchester City's title streak.

Aston Villa may a tough team but Arsenal is surely stronger. In theory, Arsenal should win against Aston Villa. But Arsenal defenders played badly, they got 2 conceded goals. I can agree with you that Man City will be difficult to overtake when they are leading the EPL standings.

Damn, of course damn. Arsenal failed to win against Aston Villa, as did Liverpool who failed to beat Crystal Palace. Arsenal and Liverpool both demonstrated their failures in front of their own fans at home, which is very embarrassing for any team.

In the end, Manchester City remained at the top of the standings after previously playing against Luton Town. The 5-1 victory over Luton Town brought Manchester City to the top of the standings with a 2 point advantage over Arsenal and Liverpool, but unfortunately neither of the two competitors was really able to maintain their best form. In the end, concerns about Liverpool and Arsenal failing grew as Manchester City took over the table, even if there were still 6 games remaining until the end of the season.

[Antotena]

I believe that Arsenal did nothing wrong, they just got unlucky and that is why they lost this game, the only luck they have is that Liverpool lost as well, so it is only two points difference between the top, and they could end up getting lucky.

I was emotional for Arsenal even when I never wanted them to win because that match doesn't really look like there is error from any of the players but I reserve some blames to Saka. All the shot Saka had in that match did nothing unlike how he does his thing in other matches and I think the defenders were also relax, no counter attack from them that's why Aston Villa forward knights were able to pass through them to make goals in Emirate like it was nothing.

Whether people want to agree with what we have seen or not, Manchester City is winning this league, the opportunity Arsenal had they have wasted it already because if they must then they have to win all there matches and if Manchester City do the same which I'm confidence about, then they have to rest and try again next season.
