Thiago has finally put an end to his hunger for goals. In a really nice way actually as he even scored 2 so far. Maybe even a hat-trick is on the way. You know he is the closest scorer to Haaland in the league now. He has reached 13 goals with these ones.

Liverpool are struggling again after the Leeds match. Do you think they will complete the comeback to a win? There is no Ekitiké today because of fitness problem. Gakpo had to take his place. I'm not sure about them for now.

Liverpool really needs to step up there game, else they might be stinged by Fulham who are presently better than Leeds United that they played previously. Recently, it seems scoring goals is becoming an issue as I was surprised that Liverpool played there last game without scoring even a goal. It was unbelievable, and am sure that gamblers must have lost alot following that goalless draw they and Manchester city played.

It took referee a lot of seconds and minutes to decide if Liverpool goal was scored from unside because after the Wirtz scored they gave Liverpool the goal but had to remove it again with the thought that he was on the offside but however it has finally been giving to them, there is time for Liverpool to get this victory as Fulham cannot hold as before. Was the pitch that sleepery ?  Because there was a time Alisson almost lost the ball to be scored by opponent because he fell with the ball if not that he quickly recovered it.

Brentford are beating Everton 3:0 despite playing as an away team but like always we are not even talking much about them or giving them the credit they rightly deserve. They've been very brilliant for a team that was just recently promoted to the English Premier League. The club's striker Igor Thiago have been very prolific this season as he's now the second top scorer in the league. Currently in the 7th position of the English Premier League table, do you think Brentford will be able to continue their consistency and probably finish in a position that'll guarantee European football next season? Let me read your thoughts.

Brentford is very good from the previous match too they can easily score goals, their goal productivity is quite good, last week's match Brentford did not get a goal at all against Tottenham and the match only resulted in 0-0, this match is very satisfied to see it, this away game is not a problem for Brentford against Everton, for that I think not necessarily because the competition is not easy, you also need to consider other teams that are still able to beat Brentford, can be in the top 10 is already very great in the English premier league.

Manchester United very disappointing result again!!

Does this mean United can only secure a result when Bruno Fernandez , Mbeumo and Admad are in the team because likely this team lacks that punch 👊 to get things done and needs a shake up to have more depth in the team otherwise forget about winning back to back Red devils.

The players tried their best, but the outcome didn't go according to plan. Liverpool experienced the same thing, even when they were very optimistic about winning in the final minutes. Liverpool and Manchester United both drew this week, I don't think it was a fault of the players, but rather that luck wasn't on their side.

The absence of several key players can certainly affect the team's overall performance, but this is certainly not the only reason why they drew. Other teams are also working hard to win points, this is one of the things that we often miss because of our focus on the favorite team.

Here goes another point loss for Liverpool... They actually managed to get ahead in the last minutes but Fulham showed reaction in such a short time.

Arne Slot's job is really not easy. Top 3 is like only a dream for Liverpool this season. All they can do is to qualify for the Champions League by finishing as 4th.

That trio is really important for Manchester United to score indeed. Especially Bruno Fernandes of course.    He is the best player of his team by far. His recent form was great until he suffered that injury.

I am not surprised by this result. Leeds united have performed well in the last few matches. The team has returned to  form. It is not possible to win against  them without performing well. And as usual, Manchester united's performance was very  weak today. That is why they lost points. United players made a total of 15  shots in the match. They were also able  to attack a lot. But they made only 2 on target shots in the entire match. There is no way to call this a good performance. manchester united will probably not be able to stay in the top 6 of the points table.

I still doubt Gyokeres would be able to adapt to the EPL and that's not because of his abilities but because his teammates have still yet to recognise the fact that they have a number 9 in their team and not just a number 9 that drifts to the wing but one that creates spaces to drop him passes to score goals. I've watched Saka and Odegaard's game with Gyokeres and it just seems as though they are still in their Gabriel Jesus era. They don't drop him the obvious passes, cut backs and even when he creates spaces for them like take out defenders, they still fumble the possession.

You sounded so funny, how do you mean Arsenal players are yet to recognized they have number 9 although sometimes it can be like that but the case of Gykores is entirely different because Arsenal is playing well even without him and is not even like Arsenal was not doing well before they signed him, they were doing absolutely fine. So I think Gykores has not made himself visible in the pitch that is why it appears they didn't recognized him  or maybe he has not been fortunate enough to shine in the club.

I think there’s a point in what he’s saying, no doubt Arsenal has been playing well even before his signing but they were in need of a striker and they got one, a prolific one at that but it seems they’re not utilising him to the maximum. If you watch most of their games he makes runs but doesn’t receive the expected pass.
I think the fault is from Arteta, he has to instruct the players to send in the ball for their top nine 9, Gyokeres is the kind of striker that needs to receive the ball and you’re sure he knows what to do with it. When they play Kai Havertz you see Arsenal sending in the long balls and crosses that’s to utilise Havertz’s advantages, they should also do same for Gyokeres.

Consecutive title titles, that's just a legend and a joke for today, we shouldn't get our hopes up about Manchester United, so you need to be patient, Manchester United still needs a lot of improvement not only in their attack line but their midfield and defense line, it seems there are still a lot of misses in communication and also the accuracy of players' passes in their game and that can sometimes be a very fatal obstacle in each of their matches, Manchester United should look for better players than what they have now, they will spend a lot more money it seems.

The large number of absent players made it difficult for Amorim to implement his tactics, and this was evident in the substitutions' subpar performance, resulting in Manchester United only managing a point at Elland Road. Manchester United certainly needs better squad depth, but the problem is that they struggle to secure their target players because they prioritize joining other teams. For example, in the case of Semenyo, Manchester United placed a high priority on signing him, but ultimately chose Manchester City.

The Manchester City vs Chelsea game hasn't been bad until now. Foden missed a big chance to score. Haaland has been out of form lately because of not being able to contribute to score for 2 games.

Maybe he would break this series by a nice performance today. Chelsea are still coachless. McFarlane is the interim manager for now. I thought this would have a bad affect on the club today but let's see...

There's still a lot of time until the end of the season, so it's very difficult to make predictions. Many teams are very close in points, and while I have positive thoughts about Brentford, I'm not sure if they'll be able to qualify for Europe next season. Their rivals are very strong; they need to overtake teams like Chelsea and Manchester United. It's not impossible, but maintaining this performance until the end of the season will be quite difficult

Liverpool travels to Craven Cottage to face Fulham. In their last match, Liverpool only managed a draw with Leeds United. Fulham also drew in their last match against Crystal Palace.
A win would put Liverpool further ahead of Chelsea, who may not necessarily win their match against Manchester City.

Ekitike must improve on his performance in the match against Leeds United, and Slot needs to start some players who came off the bench in the last match. A loss would make things even more difficult for Liverpool.

Liverpool really needs to step up there game, else they might be stinged by Fulham who are presently better than Leeds United that they played previously. Recently, it seems scoring goals is becoming an issue as I was surprised that Liverpool played there last game without scoring even a goal. It was unbelievable, and am sure that gamblers must have lost alot following that goalless draw they and Manchester city played.

One thing I like the premier league is that no team is written off, every team is a threat and no one is seen less. So Liverpool has to buckle up or seat up, else, Fulham might prove to them that they are also very strong and it is football. It's gonna be a tough match for them, for both teams, at the end, let's see how it will go

Liverpool really need to improve their game because I'm shocked they've drawn two games in a row but at least they played better today than in the previous match and scored two goals. While enjoying this match, I noticed from the early stages that Fulham were attacking as they took the lead with a goal in just the 17th minute. It can be said that this match was full of drama as both teams scored after 90 minutes, forcing both teams to share the points in this match. Also, everyone may have noticed that when the German player scored a goal in this game, it was considered offside but after a long period of testing, it was considered a goal.

The match is pretty one sided currently. Man City is dominating and currently leads 1-0 at halftime and as it looks they will win easily. But still its really early to tell,i expect now for Chelsea to go all out and change their tactic im the second half.

Man city really didnt have much luck because Haaland could have scored easily and foden aswell but the ball just didnt want to go in but at least they scored one

[asriloni]

Like what i speculated City would be winning the game. However, i never expect how Chelsea is just getting even terrible without Maresca. The way they play is just regressing a lot. No soul showed from their players, and everyone is just a mess.

Just a few days after they lost Maresca. They played like they were new in the league and beiing headless chicken. Look at how terrible their stats 0 shot on target for 45 minutes.

At this point, they need to build themselves back from the scratch.

[Distraction]

It's 1-0 at halftime.

It was a really beautiful goal by Reijnders though. Manchester City have been the better performing side by far until this point. It's normal though.

Chelsea are having tough days and now Maresca has left also.    If they manage to lose by a small margin it would still be a good work for them. Against a this powerful Manchester City I mean.

Yes for this first half Man City won the game, quite understandable because Chelsea had this match with their interim coach which of course would not be easy for them. But I hope they can do interesting things in the second half, after all they are a big club, so it's very disappointing if they can't fight back, at least despite losing we are still given an interesting show from them today.

Apparently that is what it is and it is so clear that ever since Amad, Mbuemo and Bruno Fernandes was absent the only game they have ever won was against Newcastle united and I was wondering how they manage to win that game because Newcastle they won is far better than Wolverhampton, Leeds and the others they drew with and this is not supposed to be so because they are paying each player and I think it is the fault of the coach to have build the team this way that without these persons they can not be able to win. The earlier these players returns back the better for United.

Following the poor okay from Chelsea recently, added to the fact that they just lost there coach, it wouldn't be out of place if Manchester city beat them at the Etihad stadium today. But as football may have it, Chelsea managed to pull the one goal back to level the game which ended in a 1:1 draw. Enzo fenerndes has gotten a yellow card due to his excessive celebration and couldn't hold his joy for restoring a point for his club. Pep Guardiola would be greatly angered for that equaliser, even the hike too. After all the fight, they couldn't hold till the end.

If there is anybody to celebrate this Manchester city draw, it's Arsenal FC and fans. They would be delighted that the draw has extended there points to 6 points gap clear at the top from second placed team, and they hope to increase there tally the more. To an extent, it seems that Arsenal are really gearing up to become champions since Manchester city is not consistent, but they have serious games at hand as they will be entertaining Liverpool at the Emirates stadium soonest. If they must become championship, they have to beat the defending champions

[Ruttoshi]

A wonderful display between both clubs today in Etihad. It was like a shock to City players and a disappointment to Pep when Chelsea got a late equalizer at the 90+3 minutes and walk home with a point. I have already given up on Chelsea before that goal came in.

I love the spirit in Chelsea today, they didn't give up till the game was over despite that they didn't perform well in the first half. City made a mistake to play a defensive game in the second half and gave Chelsea the chance to continue attacking.
