It's a really challenging time for Spurs. It's really disappointing for both the fans and the team to be eliminated from the EFL competition, especially in a penalty shootout. I just can't understand why coaches decide to keep their best players on the bench! So, losing like this definitely hurt them. It's important now for them to shift their attention to the Premier League matches. Though, I'm doubtful that they'll be able to bounce back easily from this setback.
Ange Postecoglou made a lot of rotations in this game, so this result is quite natural and I don't think that this defeat will affect their performance in the Premier League.
Indeed, this defeat was quite a pity, but what Tottenham did indicated that they were not too focused on the EFL Cup so that they rested their main players a lot.
I appreciate Liverpool this season. They can return to challenge Man City in the championship race. They are keeping an eye on Ryan Gravenberch and Kalvin Phillips. These are two names worth upgrading their defense. This week, they will try to bring in another defender or midfielder. If that happens, Liverpool could still be Man City's most formidable opponent this season.
Liverpool have risen this season, we can see their impressive performance at the start of the season which indicates that Jürgen Klopp's team is better than last season, and I have no doubt that they will be a strong challenger for the Premier League title this season.
However, currently there are strong rumors about their mainstay player M. Salah who is being targeted by the Saudi Arabian team Al Ittihad, I hope this will not happen because M. Salah is quite an influential player in the Liverpool team, if he leaves then Liverpool's performance will be quite disturbed.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the impending Arsenal Manchester United match with Arsenal marginally favoured due to their recent performance and home field advantage. Big game unpredictableness, though, cannot be disregarded. This game might be hotly contested because both sides have displayed hints of unreliability. The tension is increased by the fact that these two Premier League heavyweights have a history of fierce rivalries. Despite their injury troubles, Manchester United can surprise Arsenal. Intrigue is increased by Rasmus Hojlund Man United debut. The result of this game could indicate which squad is actually in the mix for the championship this year.
It's too early to talk about the teams that will compete for the title this year, as well as the performance of the two teams, in particular, in the 3 matches played by Manchester United and Arsenal at the start of this season, we can see that both teams have not fully shown their best performance. .
Manchester United didn't look very good in the first 3 matches and they even lost this season to Tottenham.
Meanwhile, last week Arsenal just got a bad result at home when they failed to win against Fulham who played with only 10 players after one of Fulham's players was shown a red card in the second half.
This indicates that these two teams are having problems now, and considering the history and rivalry between the two teams since the past and also that these two teams are big Premier League teams who always present fierce matches when they meet so this match will be quite balanced, I don't think so. think that Arsenal will be at an advantage even if they play at home.
