I realize that Manchester City are the better team at home so far against Arsenal, but Arsenal don't really deserve to be underestimated like that when they are also having such a good performance. Arteta seems to have started to learn a lot about how to beat Manchester City based on their last two matches, but Manchester City is still the favorite compared to Arsenal.
Agree. Even if Man City played well in a home match, they can't underestimate Arsenal. Guardiola must realize that Arsenal is already stronger this season, they are very capable to beat Man City at home. Moreover, it is a crucial match that may determine the chance to be the winner of EPL title this season. Arteta must already learn everything related to Man City, he won't expect to experience the same mistake.
How is that you draw the conclusion that Liverpool and arsenal have higher chances of winning the league this season? Although Manchester city have dropped their performance rate like the way they performed last season but I believe they are also well fixated in this league race despite the fact that the club isn't all that scary but I believe Gaudiola is a man with flexible playing pattern.
I think he conclude it by analyzing the remaining matches.
I can agree that Liverpool has a higher chance to be the winner because they seem having easier matches.
But Arsenal and Man City look to have the same chance. They still have some big matches, including the match between them (Man City vs Arsenal).
Manchester City vs Arsenal is the toughest match in the Premier League this season and we will definitely see an interesting match between these two teams. Although the match will be played at Man City's home ground, they will have to play cautiously as Arsenal are not that normal team and they are currently the strongest team. And Pep Guardiola must be more alert and improve his game otherwise it is not so easy to beat Arsenal this season. If they make a mistake in this season's Premier League, then Man City or Arsenal must lose, so both teams must enter the field with that plan.
However, it is easy for Liverpool to win the match as their match will be played against Brighton and the chances of winning are mostly Liverpool's. And Liverpool will go top of the points table if they win, but there will be enough competition between Manchester United and Arsenal if this match is a draw then Liverpool will go top. The biggest match of the season, Arsenal and Manchester City, both teams are strong enough that it is impossible to predict which team will win.
