Bukayo Saka may not have scored a goal, but he can be said to be a player who always tries to make a big contribution to Arsenal and managed to provide one assist.
Arsenal's victory over Sheffield United was impressive because they made sure they performed optimally to beat their opponents with a very convincing score by scoring lots of goals and this made Arsenal the most productive team at the moment with the fewest goals conceded.
Arsenal just need to maintain their consistency because after facing Brentford next week there are two tough matches they have to face, namely against Chelsea and Manchester City.
Maybe Chelsea will not be considered as a team that will give Arsenal difficulties but still they have to be alert because Chelsea can perform better when facing a strong team and against City it will be enough to determine their next ranking, beating City means they will pass their opponent in the standings but if If they lose, it will make their chances of winning the title this season even harder

Arsenal are currently on form and on fire as they have had large rain of goals in the past three to four matches and this shows how productive their attack line is. They are scoring so many goals which is helping them to build goal difference to be able to fight for the league. This season title challenge is keenly contested and their idea of building up goal difference for themselves is very clean and top notch as that could be what will help them stay on top this weekend. Yes they have a chance of staying on top the league should they win Brentford and Liverpool stumble to a draw with City.

 Arsenal and Liverpool will be locked with the same points but the built goal difference will be the help and boost for Arsenal to stay on top of the league. The way the Arsenal players are all involved in the matches is really top notch as that shows commitment. They’re all committed to makind up for last season’s mistakes and yes they real have a chance to gun for the league if they keep maintaining this kind of win streaks. They still have two tough matches which they need to overcome, Man City and Chelsea.

 Chelsea aren’t real in good shape but they could also be capable of spoiling the party for Arsenal as fellow London rivals. Man City are in the race too and Arsenal won’t be finding that match easy nevertheless. The best way out is to get all 3 points and build up goal difference by making sure you take ypur chances as this is the way they can possibly get the league. They are having their players back frim injury and that should be a major boost in the Arsenal camp and I’m optimistic they can perform the magic this season.

This Sunday will be an epic battle and I think it is going to be quite entertaining as well. I think it should be something that will be worth to watch as like taking the day off style. I understand it may not be for everyone, but a lot of football fans will probably just arrange some foods, chips beers, drinks whatever they can and get in front of the TV. Not only it is a game that became a classic in the last decade, but also it is a game that can decide so much about the league as well.

I believe that it will be the most important game of the season for sure, the winner will have such a good chance at the title, and the loser may have trouble coming from Arsenal as well. It is a very important game and I can't wait to see it.

Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa catches my fancy, tough game and difficult for me to predict who win at the end of the game, one would say Aston Villa would come out victorious from the game on Sunday, but I will day after the Conference Cup Competition, they should sure be having tired legs from that game and could be used as an advantage you see.
I'd say both side would draw but these clubs here have both been unpredictable to be very honest.

The same as well goes with West Ham United, for they'll be against Frieburg in the European Europa League Competition, they should also be exhausted from that fixture on Thursday. Could be a good chance for them to utilize the chance they have to go above Manchester United, but would that be possible? Burnley are also so poor that I cannot back them to even win the game. Vincent Kompany and his lads should do better.

For the the game between Liverpool and Manchester City, Anfield has been a fucking fortress you see, and having Injured players right now has got to be tdue biggest blow they'll face ahead of the game. Would the likes of Mo Salah and Co's be back for that game? T's another difficult game for me to predict. I don't mind seeing Arsenal ahead of them in the Premier League standing. Both Liverpool and Manchester City have both dominated the league in the last few years. Hopefully, they share points and Arsenal gets to  use the chance they have against Brentford to go top.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It is going to be one of the most crucial games for Liverpool and Manchester City both. Liverpool need Salah playing in this game from the beginning to the end. Otherwise I think Manchester City would have a bigger probability to win the game. Guardiola rotated the squad for the Copenhagen game but we saw Haaland playing for nearly 90 minutes. 

I don't think it was a good idea to keep him that long because Manchester City were already 3-1 ahead by the end of the first half. But I guess Haaland wouldn't still be very tired in the Liverpool game.

I won't bet on a side but I hope Liverpool win to get closer to the championship.

Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa catches my fancy, tough game and difficult for me to predict who win at the end of the game, one would say Aston Villa would come out victorious from the game on Sunday, but I will day after the Conference Cup Competition, they should sure be having tired legs from that game and could be used as an advantage you see.
I'd say both side would draw but these clubs here have both been unpredictable to be very honest.

This time I will not predict from the last appearance of these two clubs because these two clubs have equal strength and I will look at the statistics of the meeting between the two clubs and in the near future the last meeting between the two clubs Aston Villa can always beat Tottenham with a narrow score even though Aston has Villa as a guest played away but in fact Aston Villa still managed to win and I predicted the same as other people who said that Aston Villa would win the match against Tottenham.

Edit
It turned out that my prediction was beyond expectations because Tottenham really looked really scary with their appearance of continuing to control the ball, pressing Aston Villa's defense and ultimately producing 4 scores.
Very surprised by the decline in performance experienced by Aston Villa, it was very clear when they failed to provide resistance or even control the ball. Aston was unable to be more productive, whereas Aston Villa playing at home should be more confident.
Tottenham felt proud this time to embarrass Aston Villa with a big score at home while getting 3 points to keep Manchester United at arm's length.
This time my bet was disappointed by Aston Villa.

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are currently 2 clubs with similar conditions where they are surprise clubs with dark horse status. Aston Villa this season is stretching well because looking at anything, their current condition is different since Emery came their performance became better. Likewise with Tottenham where I didn't expect much when Kane left there although in the end this season they also improved a little in terms of performance.
In terms of current statistics Aston Villa is actually better only for the quality of individual players we must be aware that for now Tottenham is still a little superior where some of their players are still quite good in terms of popularity and individual skills.

Aston Villa home will definitely be troublesome because we know that apart from a good defense they also sometimes have a good direct pass and maturity in midfield. This must be considered by Tottenham if they do not want to lose points in this match because Emery can control a good rhythm when the defensive transition is changed to attack mode.

[Distraction]

Jose Mourinho? Do you think this is a joke? Jose Mourinho already had his time with the club Manchester United and wasn't allowed to do whatever he wanted. I would even consider Jose Mourinho over the so called Graham Potter's news I'm seeing close to Manchester United appointment, isn't that such a daft thing to do?
Manchester United would definitely lose lots of fans if they appoint Graham Potter as head coach of Manchester United. same coach that couldn't go pass ten with Brighton and Chelsea? These journalist are complete bastards.

Antonio Conte? Peng! Tactician and Tactically sound and great, I would love to work with such a disciplined coach.

Xabi Alonso is not amongst the names Manchester United had listed, hell No, they don't that idea to sign him. Xabi Alonso would be best off with Bayern Munich or Liverpool.

It is true that Mourinho wasn't fully allowed to do what he wanted at Manchester United. However that wasn't the point I wanted to underline. Even if he was allowed his style is just boring to watch for me. He is still caring about defense more than offense. We have seen many examples while he was managing Roma also.

But now Roma have started to be much more productive and to get better results after De Rossi's taking over.    It is more enjoyable to watch their matches now as they are playing positive football. I think Conte can really be given a chance by Manchester United. I feel like they won't be regretful.

It is going to be one of the most crucial games for Liverpool and Manchester City both. Liverpool need Salah playing in this game from the beginning to the end. Otherwise I think Manchester City would have a bigger probability to win the game. Guardiola rotated the squad for the Copenhagen game but we saw Haaland playing for nearly 90 minutes. 

One of the most important games before the end of the season. After this game, City and Liverpool will face Arsenal in another schedule. I hope City wins the game like your prediction above, because I want to see King CITY win the EPL trophy again.
Guardiola rotated his players against Leipzig because he understood that the match against Leipzig would be less crucial than the encounter against Liverpool since the club had won with big aggregates in the first leg. It should be highlighted that if Manchester City won the first game with big aggregates, why do they need to play seriously in the second leg?
Even with the secondary team, City may win by a large margin and some players were also scoring in the game. City didn't even need to seriously used the main squad to beat copenhagen.

I don't think it was a good idea to keep him that long because Manchester City were already 3-1 ahead by the end of the first half. But I guess Haaland wouldn't still be very tired in the Liverpool game.

Do you know if Liverpool shall have faced Sparta Prague before their important encounter against Manchester City? Teams need enough time to rest and regain their stamina, you know. Guardiola didn't want to put his top players at risk, so De Bruyne and many others didn't participate in the last game. City managed to defeat Copenhagen 3-1 with their secondary squad. It means that copenhagen was a weak club. City was able to kick it out from the UCL even with the secondary squad.

I won't bet on a side but I hope Liverpool win to get closer to the championship. 

I hope City can stop Liverpool from getting closer to the trophy. Manchester City will play with their full team, who were benched in the last game. I believe Pep's main motivation for this match is that it's a more difficult encounter, so he needs to ensure that all his players are doing well in order to defeat Liverpool.

Sorry if I have a different view from you, in fact I hope that Liverpool is able to maintain their position as top holders of the standings until the end and get the title well this season, because why could that be their farewell to Jürgen Klopp with his statement some time ago that he wanted to  retire, but if the reality is different that Liverpool can't afford it, maybe this season will be the most bitter season that Liverpool has experienced, but at least Liverpool must remain consistent with the remaining matches this season and also focus on the Europa League because that will improve their quality on the European stage, not only  in the league.

City will be going in with Haaland, Alvarez, KDB, and Rodri as goal scoring threats going into this match. Foden is fatigued allegedly. Doku is nowhere to be found but that might as well be good for City as they play better without him. If we count defenders then Ake is pretty good too assuming Pep starts him.

Meanwhile we've got: Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Szobo, Macca, and Big Virg available as the people who could win the game for us.

And also, did I mention Anfield? They are going to boo City like crazy. There is no way the crowd will roll over let City get another title without a fight.

[adpinbr]

I just don’t want to talk much consigning the Premier league . but the way I am seeing it and how things are going. Manchester city is for the 2023/2024 winning cup, I don’t usually follow the premier league,but I like Manchester city carry the season, Manchester city, Shouldn’t , allow Liverpool or give them the chance. for Arsenal , I just like my boy SAKA, Saka has been one of my favorite player this season even last season.

[Ayers]

Not going to lie I am a little surprised to see Liverpool at the top of the table.
But the competition for the title is going to be really hard this season.

Just for context, I am giving the positions and number of points of the first three teams below.

Liverpool- 63 point
Manchester City- 62 points
Arsenal- 61 point

Only one point difference from each other. the competition is really hard for the title.
But I believe Manchester City might be able to win the title. I don't have much strong logic behind it, just a feeling.
And I am sure a lot of people also have this feeling as well.  

[asriloni]

Even if he was allowed his style is just boring to watch for me. He is still caring about defense more than offense. We have seen many examples while he was managing Roma also.

You forgot to mention that even when MU was not allowing him to do what he wanted but mourinho contributed 1 europa league trophy for the club. So, what contributions did Ten Hag make to the club? Carabao trophy? For such a long time? it is very strange to keep ten hag for several years instead of mourinho.
I would rather sign him back than recruit another flop like Graham Potter with his Potter Ball. I respect the parking bus football often used by Mourinho. It's because Mourinho used his logic, like it didn't matter when you play good or bad as long as you win and can be a champion.

But now Roma have started to be much more productive and to get better results after De Rossi's taking over.    It is more enjoyable to watch their matches now as they are playing positive football. I think Conte can really be given a chance by Manchester United. I feel like they won't be regretful. 

De Rossi appears to be a suitable new appointment for Roma. Roma's game is considerably more regimented, and the team regularly plays offensively rather than defensively, as it did when Mourinho was there. I can't exactly call it an improvement because Roma hasn't won a trophy under Rossi but it shows beautiful football.
I would rather that United signs Amorim over Conte. He might be able to grasp the club well. Amorim is pursued by several teams. It demonstrates that he was a decent coach.

Manchester United needs a new name to run the club. Sir Jim has to find a new face who can help improve the club.

I won't bet on a side but I hope Liverpool win to get closer to the championship. 

I also hope Liverpool can win that match but statistically City is superior and more favored in that match. Liverpool needs Salah in top condition to give him a chance to win. But City have a solid squad because Haaland and KDB have played together. Yes, I saw Haaland played for almost the full 90 minutes before being replaced by Jacob Wright. But we know Haaland just played casually and didn't work hard in that match. So Haaland should be fit for the match against Liverpool. I think City will win that game.

most people really want Liverpool to win the EPL title, but difficulties arise when the players who are Klopp mainstay have had several injury problems, whereas without the presence of these players Liverpool performance will be very weak, on the one hand, Guardiola troops don't have any problems, so the opportunity to win this season's title is very big for Man City.
unless Klopp has another strategy that could give Liverpool the strength to stay at the top of the standings, but it looks like it will be a little impossible as long as the pair Haaland and De Bruyne are still at Man City.
I just want to guess that maybe in the next 4 or 5 matches changes will occur and Man City will be at the top of the standings. Arsenal will be in 2nd place and Liverpool will be in 3rd place.

our hope remains that Klopp can give Liverpool the best gift this season before leaving Liverpool, but let's see if Klopp is able to give something beautiful before leaving his team.

Jose Mourinho did win Manchester United the UEFA European Europa League Competition but still on Manchester United played badly the following season.
He's tactics are too much for n the defensive and that has never been the system of  Manchester United all these years. The last coach to play in that Manchester United pattern all these years has got to be Ole Gunner Solskjaer, but he was tactically inept and more a poor coach, he has chances of winning Manchester United a trophy but last decisions to go in for the penalties made him lose the game.

Believe me too, there was a time Sir Alex Ferguson was also under pressure, but he turned the pressure in winning trophies. I really do hope Erik Ten Hag can be backed.

For Roma under De Rossi, they're buzzing and gradually they could achieve the spot in the top four if Bologna and Atalanta are not serious with themselves.

Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa catches my fancy, tough game and difficult for me to predict who win at the end of the game, one would say Aston Villa would come out victorious from the game on Sunday, but I will day after the Conference Cup Competition, they should sure be having tired legs from that game and could be used as an advantage you see.
I'd say both side would draw but these clubs here have both been unpredictable to be very honest.

The same as well goes with West Ham United, for they'll be against Frieburg in the European Europa League Competition, they should also be exhausted from that fixture on Thursday. Could be a good chance for them to utilize the chance they have to go above Manchester United, but would that be possible? Burnley are also so poor that I cannot back them to even win the game. Vincent Kompany and his lads should do better.

For the the game between Liverpool and Manchester City, Anfield has been a fucking fortress you see, and having Injured players right now has got to be tdue biggest blow they'll face ahead of the game. Would the likes of Mo Salah and Co's be back for that game? T's another difficult game for me to predict. I don't mind seeing Arsenal ahead of them in the Premier League standing. Both Liverpool and Manchester City have both dominated the league in the last few years. Hopefully, they share points and Arsenal gets to  use the chance they have against Brentford to go top.

The matches in the EPL this weekend are quite competitive and almost all the matches are a determinant for a particular position. And this is why the EPL still remains the beat league in Europe.The competition between the teams helps each team try to improve and that’s why you see the way they play in Europe and you can’t help but love it. This weekend will be having a game week with some fierce competition between the teams and I’ll love to analyze.

 Aston Villa vs Tottenham proves to be the battle of who could have a chance to finish 4th and head to the UCL. Tottenham are the bigger team no doubt but you can’t overlook the improvement of this Villa side. Heading into this fixture I think Tottenham have the upper hands as Villa could have tired legs from their European fixture so I think this game a safe bet would be to double chance on Tottenham. West Ham and Manchester United is another similar match and I think the poor form of Manchester United side will come to play in this fixture though I still believe Red Devils to have the edge in this fixture to at least make up for their team loss to City rivals

 The main game is at Anfield and I feel this will sure end in a deaw as none of these teams are going to let the other have his way and that game would be the boost Arsenal needs to stay on top of the EPL table. I also want to see Arsenal go top again and see how long they can maintain that position this season. So this weekend is going to be having much fun in the EPL and we the fans are alive and ready for the action the weekend holds.

Sorry if I have a different view from you, in fact I hope that Liverpool is able to maintain their position as top holders of the standings until the end and get the title well this season, because why could that be their farewell to Jürgen Klopp with his statement some time ago that he wanted to  retire, but if the reality is different that Liverpool can't afford it, maybe this season will be the most bitter season that Liverpool has experienced, but at least Liverpool must remain consistent with the remaining matches this season and also focus on the Europa League because that will improve their quality on the European stage, not only  in the league.

No problem. I respected your opinion, too. As a citizen, I'm willing to see the city continue to crush the premier league. Liverpudlians could argue that the EPL trophy can be a sweet farewell gift for Klopp before he steps down as a coach, but I don't mind it since I'm willing to see the city continue its domination in the EPL.
The Europa League probably nothing for Liverpool because it won with huge scores last night. We will be able to see City and Liverpool play with their best squads very soon. Let's see which club will be able to be consistent till the last game of this season.

I'm feeling so positive about Manchester City's current squad. They are very motivated to win the EPL trophy for the fourth time in a row. Taking down Liverpool at Anfield will be a major milestone, helping the city get even closer to winning the EPL. Having said that, City will have Arsenal, which will be placed second caused by it will face med tier club..
I can't wait to see the match will begin soon. Salah has played in europa league. I'm sure that if Klopp will put him in since the first half.

Liverpool sees the match against Manchester City as one of the most important things. This will help club to avoid its competitors as long as liverpool will able to win against city

[tusandii]

This time I will not predict from the last appearance of these two clubs because these two clubs have equal strength and I will look at the statistics of the meeting between the two clubs and in the near future the last meeting between the two clubs Aston Villa can always beat Tottenham with a narrow score even though Aston has Villa as a guest played away but in fact Aston Villa still managed to win and I predicted the same as other people who said that Aston Villa would win the match against Tottenham.

Aston Villa home will definitely be troublesome because we know that apart from a good defense they also sometimes have a good direct pass and maturity in midfield. This must be considered by Tottenham if they do not want to lose points in this match because Emery can control a good rhythm when the defensive transition is changed to attack mode.

Yes, of course losing Harry Kane will not make it difficult for Ange Postecoglou to rotate his players because there is still Son who can be relied on and managed to occupy first position, even if only temporarily.
I have various reasons why I say that I believe in Tottenham's victory because we look at it in terms of injured players, maybe it is equal because both clubs lost several main players to injury and even though Aston Villa has Ollie Watkins, Tottenham also still has Son who is ready to become a fighting machine. score.
Aston Villa will indeed be very strong when playing at home and their defense will even be stronger, but Ange Postecoglou's troops will never have difficulty in terms of high passes because several times I have seen Tottenham players being able to score with high passes like that.

What makes Tottenham a little doubtful is their defense, even though they can score, I'm not sure the defense can withstand Aston Villa's attacks.
What do you think ?

[Justbillywitt]

This Sunday will be an epic battle and I think it is going to be quite entertaining as well. I think it should be something that will be worth to watch as like taking the day off style. I understand it may not be for everyone, but a lot of football fans will probably just arrange some foods, chips beers, drinks whatever they can and get in front of the TV. Not only it is a game that became a classic in the last decade, but also it is a game that can decide so much about the league as well.

I believe that it will be the most important game of the season for sure, the winner will have such a good chance at the title, and the loser may have trouble coming from Arsenal as well. It is a very important game and I can't wait to see it.

It is one of the most important game in the premier league this season. But I have this feeling that this game is going to end in a draw. Both clubs want the win so desperatelyand they are both in good forms. Anfield has really been a difficult place for Manchester City to get a win. But Manchester City has gotten this mentality of being champions and this is going to carry them through this game.

[emrecemsan]

And also, did I mention Anfield? They are going to boo City like crazy. There is no way the crowd will roll over let City get another title without a fight.

Foden did a lot of work in the Manchester United match. He played much more extra to help his team make that comeback. He must have got really tired after that high effort by staying for 90 minutes on the pitch. The fans will hope for him to be ready for the starting eleven in this critical match. While he is on fire he has a serious potential to make a big impact on the Liverpool match as well.  

As for Liverpool it must have felt really great for the fans to see Salah on the pitch in the second half last night. Because without him their job would be more difficult at the weekend. In my opinion Liverpool won't lose this big match.
