I think this week will end really badly for Manchester City. Because I believe Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa all are in a situation to be able to win their games this week. Liverpool can win against Manchester United home easily while Manchester United are bad at defending. Arsenal should be able to beat Brighton home as well.
Aston Villa are playing an away game against Brentford but Brentford are really bad this season. They were able to win only once on their last 5 game weeks in the league. I don't think they can hold off Aston Villa from winning another game.
Facing a dilemma situation, Man City must accept this week's results and let the top 3 teams extend their respective positions. Liverpool clearly have no problems and currently they are more on fire than before. Moreover, fighting Man United is certainly a motivation for every Liverpool player. Arsenal still have hope even though Brighton, despite facing a tough team, can always create opportunities to match their opponents on the field. Maybe it will be quite tight and 60% of Arsenal have the potential to win points and Brighton is also actually difficult to predict based on head to head. Brighton is still the favorite. I am quite optimistic about Aston Villa, I will definitely be able to handle the home and away playing conditions well and in this match I hope the positive trend can continue.
Am very excited about the current fire and form Liverpool has had, or do I call it luck, because their way to the top of the table came at a time when the other bigger teams lost or drew more than once.
The would sure do damage to the hopes of Manchester United winning or even securing a point in today's match bectthe later has rather been enduring a poor performance spell in all their recent league appearance.
For Arsenal, the win will be very much required because if they have to redeem their top position and be sure of the title in this league, then they definitely have to capitalize on the draw of Manchester city yesterday and the expected win against Brighton today .
Liverpool discovered their form at the right moment and am happy the way they are playing. I don't see a way for Manchester United to get a point in this game. I expect Liverpool to inflict more misery to the fringe Manchester United team.
