Arsenal didn't look comfortable today. Don't just look at the final score. If you watched the game you would understand. Besides those last two goals came in the stoppage time. I wouldn't expect Leicester to make such difficulties for them. Liverpool also managed to get past Wolves and Salah continued to shine as always... Manchester City were like the only loser among them. But with that effort they deserved the draw.

you are right I thought Arsenal could not win the match. But Arsenal were very lucky. If Arsenal were not lucky, the team would not have been able to get 3 points from this match. Leicester City were not strong opponents. However, Arsenal's performance was poor.

This is true as we saw Arsenal's dominance in the first half of the match. It was 2-0 at the end of the first half. We thought Arsenal was going to get an easy win in this match, as the opponent Leicester is not a strong team. But Leicester scored two consecutive goals in the second half to level the match at 2-2. Leicester city players managed to score two goals despite not attacking much. This shows that Arsenal's defenders did not do well in this match.

A lot of attacks were carried out by Arsenal players throughout the match. But Arsenal scored the last two goals after 90 minutes. More importantly, Arsenal's third goal was a mistake by Leicester's Ndidi.

To rate Arsenal's performance as a poor performance is not fair, if you watch the match, you will understand what I am saying. Arsenal didn't perform to their peak as expected, but they did their best in the game. Suppose you have been monitoring Arsenal games since Odegard got injured. In that case, you will notice that Arsenal was struggling to win matches even after several struggles, we only scored confidently on setpiece because the main attacking midfielders that were supposed to be with the squad were all injured. Still, the manager is trying his best to improvise and use his other options to make the team win games.

This is true as we saw Arsenal's dominance in the first half of the match. It was 2-0 at the end of the first half. We thought Arsenal was going to get an easy win in this match, as the opponent Leicester is not a strong team. But Leicester scored two consecutive goals in the second half to level the match at 2-2.

You are right, Arsenal dominated the first half and got two goals, but Leicester City came back strong and got two goals which they were defending before Arsenal could get the last two goals. Leicester City's goalkeeper made a lot of saves today, he saved his team from conceding a lot of goals because Arsenal dominated the game.

A lot of attacks were carried out by Arsenal players throughout the match. But Arsenal scored the last two goals after 90 minutes. More importantly, Arsenal's third goal was a mistake by Leicester's Ndidi.

That shows that the Arsenal squad of this season has a winning mentality, they don't want to give up easily which is why they keep putting pressure until the final wistle and they get the three points.

Leicester surprised Arsenal's defense at the start of the second half. They took the lead first with 1 goal they scored. With Arsenal's extraordinary game, Leicester had difficulty developing the game. They only relied on counterattacks even though they managed to create several opportunities.

Arsenal won today’s match, but I was just disappointed with their performance in the match. I never expected Arsenal to find it difficult to win Leicester City, I will say Arsenal were just so lucky in the match, the match would have ended as a draw. I never expected Leicester City to equalize in the match, and they really wanted to defend the draw, but things didn’t just go well for Leicester City, Arsenal were able to score their last two goals in the extra time of the match. Leicester City couldn’t win the match, but seriously, they played well in the match.

Disappointing result ion the big match between Manchester City and Newcastle, also Haaland ruined his median.
Still early in the season but was a long time we didn'0t see Chelsea in the top 4 of the league.

I think they will not compete for the final win, and the league will be won again from Manchester City.

...Unless... something unexpected will happen in few months with a big penalization of FFP.

Are you watching the Chelsea v Brighton match? I hope you did so far and if not, I would recommend it now.    Because there is everything in it. It is so much fun and Chelsea lead by 4-2.

Palmer is killing it! He scored 4 goals so far and it must be some kind of a record as he did it in the 1st half.    Palmer is really not from our world. Chelsea had better hold onto him tightly. Because I have no doubt there would be powerful teams going after him next summer. I can't imagine how sad Guardiola would be while watching his enormous effort at Chelsea now. I think Palmer did the right thing too otherwise we were never going to see this.

Palmer's performances today were very incredible, which excited a lot of people, including me. Although no one expected that Palmer would be able to have 4 goals in the game today, that ended up happening, and he did all this in just the first half, which is showing that palmer is able to bring Chelsea out as the top 4 in the table this season. Although the season has just begun, we are expecting a lot from Chelsea this season, but for next season, I don't think Palmer will be able to be among the players of Chelsea any more.

I don't think you watched that match cause if you did, you won't make such statement, oh you think because Leicester City just got back from the relegation league then it should be easy for Arsenal to beat them right? Well, this is the EPL, the toughest league in the world and full of surprises. However Arsenal's performance was far better than Leicester's in that game, though they had ill luck in the first half and conceded two goals but their performance wasn't really boring and they dominated the game and even had about 36 shots with 16 on target, you can't compare that to Leicester's 5 shot with just 3 on target but then the most important thing is that Arsenal scored 2 late goals making it 4-2 and they've still maintained their unbeaten run. Mind you, their are only 2 clubs in the EPL that's unbeaten, namely Arsenal and Manchester City.

Already before the kickoff I no that it is going to be a though match for Man City because for quite a while now they are not too consistent in their playing after their draw against Inter Milan in the UEFA champions league they were not able to maintain there winning ways and just last weekend Arsenal was able to use 10 men and draw with them in their home ground, and today again Newcastle united was able to hold them 1-1 draw Full time. However I think if am not mistaking this is making it their third consecutive draw. if Liverpool won their game against wolves I think they are going be ahead of them in the league table which is a very big opportunity for them to take over premier league title this season.

The loss of De Bruyne and Rodri is still a problem because as always they are good movers and although Kovacic also did a good job in this match, it did not have a greater impact on the final result because in the end there was a slight loss of momentum and Manchester City's attacking patterns became rushed so that the chances that were obtained could not be converted properly.
The guarding of Haaland can also be appreciated for Newcastle as they didn't let Haaland go free for the entire 90 minutes of the match which made his space covered in this match.

With this draw they lost the top position and Liverpool with Slot as his helmsman this season managed to shift the focus of the top standings to them and of course this became very interesting because indeed competition from the beginning like this is always awaited from the EPL.

Manchester City's result at Newcastle was disappointing to you and definitely to others who thought that Newcastle was a push over team that can be easily beaten by the reigning champions and not for people like us who already predicted a difficult game for both teams. I was impressed Newcastle didn't lose the game.
Chelsea's impressive win today I think have proven that they are a strong contender for the English Premier League title tho season. The depth in the squad of Chelsea I think is one of the best in the league. From all indications, I think Chelsea are back to their best but my concern is if they can retain their current performance for a longer time.

Manchester City have been performing at a very low level for the last 3 seasons and have managed to become champions thanks to Arsenal and Liverpool, who have been losing games against very weak teams in the last few rounds. However, if Liverpool and Arsenal manage to remain consistent until the last round, then I think Manchester City would not become champions. As I am a Liverpool fan, I am rooting for Liverpool. I hope that this season we win the Premier League. So far, Liverpool is the team with the best defense. They have conceded 2 goals in 6 games, and most of the time the Premier League champion has a good defense.




With the victory we obtained in the game against Wolves, we managed to stay at the top of the table, I hope we can win the next 3 games, the most problematic games will be the game against Chelsea and then against Arsenal. If we win the next 3 games, we would stay at the top and with a certain advantage in points if Manchester City were to lose points again in the next 3 games.

This is really a good time to be a Chelsea fan, watching the stellar performance displayed by the club every weekend peaks my interest, they're in good form this season. Celebrating Chelsea thrilling win against the Seagulls is definitely a big one for the club. They're currently intot the EPL title race this season and I'm confident, qualifying for top four wouldn't be an issue. Enzo Maresca have built an army and they wouldn't stop at nothing until they achieve their aim.

Dissapointing results recorded today at St James Park for Manchester City. What's the main reasons behind Manchester City unable to accumulate three points? Pep Guardiola will rearrange his tactics because missing out his main pillars in the midfield, Rdri and Kelvin De Bruyne, watched how they struggled all through the game. Erling Haaland was goalless today because his main collided players that provides key assist for him are sidelined due to crucial injury sustained.

[JeffBrad12]

the interim results of the first half of how many Premier League matches have taken place.

The Chelsea vs Brighton match surprised me. Both teams played very openly, Palmer scored 4 goals in the first half. We were 1 goal behind early on, but Chelsea responded very well.

It's amazing to see how Palmer created quatrick in this game. But i must say 4 goals is even less than what he deserved today. He should get more than it considering he got a bunch of chances as well. he could have scored 6 or 7 goals with how many huge chances he received.

Other than him, I'm disappointed. Jackson held the ball too long. He had so many good opportunities, but he missed it all. Though he added much to the team, his pressing was brilliant. He deserved a goal today, but was unlucky.

Maybe Erling Haaland should be more humble now, eh?! Why's nobody calling him out on his BS?! That was complete disrespect on Mikel Arteta during the last fixture against Arsenal. Mikel Arteta poked Pep Guardiola and he gave him exactly what he wanted. Lol! Well, they're kickin'for the top four in a cool way, a good way to start, hopefully it ends well for em.
The Premier League Competition will be won by Arsenal, not Chelsea and not Manchester City. They deserve it! Chelsea has no good defense to win the Premier League Competition. Despite tge 115 charges, I don't see them doing five premier league win consecutively.

[blue Snow]

This is a bad night for me when watched Manchester City get unexpected results. Newcastle's defense is very tight that make the city attacker can't move freely on penalty box. Haaland also has several times throw away the opportunity with his head but the goddess of fortune is still protecting Newcastle. I admit, the city performance is not good after Rodry injury, their substitute player wasn't able to fill up Rodry's position, and look difficult to pressing the opponent. I think Pep Guardiola must change the scheme after this result. Some midfielders like Bernardo Silva and Grealish look dead end to stab in front, Gurdogan also far away from his performance that make Haaland confused and tend to look for the ball self.

[legendbtc]

With a draw, Man City remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season. However, the defending champions are at risk of losing the top spot. Liverpool and Aston Villa have a chance to take the top spot if they win in round 6.

Yes. They are undefeated. Based on the previous results, Liverpool has the opportunity to occupy the standings if Liverpool can secure full points at Wolverhampton's home.

As you and I have said, the top spot in the Premier League table has indeed changed hands. Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 to take top spot in the Premier League from Man City. Man City could not win at Newcastle in the early match of round 6, creating an opportunity for Liverpool to take the top spot. Salah's penalty helped Liverpool win 2-1 against Wolves, thereby rising to the top of the rankings with 1 point more than Man City and Arsenal. Liverpool are almost certain to retain their top spot in the Premier League after Round 6 unless Aston Villa beat Ipswich by seven goals in today's match.

Manchester City struggled so much to break Newcastle's defense. It can be seen from their deep entries below.



The majority of their deep entries were around their opponent's penalty box. It's very hard for them to score the second goal. It's caused by their opponents put all their players in the penalty box. I was also aware of their frustration with the opponent's "park the bus" tactic. The same situation as when they faced Arsenal in the last game.
