People always assume Man City will win the competition because Man City has a great squad. They have best coach (Guardiola) and they have best player (Haaland) there. Although Man City ever dropped their position on the table and missed some points, people still assume Man City will be the candidate of the champion. For this reason, I can understand people's assumption.

However, this season isn't the same as the previous season. If we consider the remaining matches of 3 candidates of the champion, Liverpool seems to have the advantage. Man City and Arsenal have harder remaining matches because they still have some big matches. They will also still fight one another in matchday 30, so there is a big chance for missing points in the next few matches.

When I went through the fixtures yesterday, I found out Arsenal still have more competitive teams to battle and surprising seeing Liverpool and Manchester city with less competition. Liverpool have more chance of winning the title but I still think Arsenal will find a way to defeat their opponent cause we can't really judge looking at the fixtures but let's watch out what will happen next, Arsenal have a lot of tough games to play. Concerning the Manchester united vs Arsenal, this game will be tough cause Arsenal has never won united away and let's see if Arsenal can break this streak although even if Arsenal is topping the table they have a long way to go in terms of defeating other teams.

With conditions like this, many predictions and assumptions about potential EPL winners vary. Because it is that competitive, with crucial points distance. In essence, if one of the three clubs falls once and is unable to win in every match, then at that moment, the position may change. And of course it will affect the final results of this Premier League later. So, this will be a competition not only about the clubs' performance but also their mentality. Indeed, the Premier League is always a favorite. Those three also still have 1 match left, so this is quite even considering the number of matches they have.

I didn't see the tactics Ten Hag used against the Liverpool team to be superior. Manchester United won because they were lucky in the match that's all. After all, if we are to judge the match on performance, Liverpool had the ball possession of the match(Liverpool 58/42 Manchester United). Liverpool had played against tough teams like Manchester City and Chelsea and they had good results from it. Can Manchester United do that if they play against Manchester City recently?
What I am saying is that Manchester United are lucky to win against Liverpool not the other way you put it ''been superior of the tactics used by Ten Hag''

I would like to think so too, but luck is part of a result, which of course is also due to the efforts they put in. If we look at the match statistics, Man United is actually quite capable of matching Liverpool's performance. They are also not far behind in possession of the ball, even quite even. Both Man United and Liverpool also attacked each other, with quite high and tight intensity. It's just that Man United's pass accuracy is not better than Liverpool. However, once again, in this soccer match, whatever the match process is, what will be seen is the final result. And Man United have got it. So whether it was their efforts or the luck factor involved, they won and advanced to the semi-finals.
