But you will never underestimate the Newcastle team because they can upset the teams in their home ground and City is currently facing a few injuries of their main players like Rodri and De Bruyne.
I don’t think anyone is underestimating any club, and with the current condition of Manchester City, I don’t think Guardiola will underestimate any club because he won’t want to lose points unnecessarily. I know Manchester City are currently facing injury problems, but even without players that are injured, then Manchester City will still be able to win Newcastle because there is a replacement for those players on injury, so if not that Manchester City are playing against strong teams, it’s not really going to have a serious impact on the club’s performance.
When there are no big teams in the competition, it becomes boring to watch and the league will not look entertaining and competitive. So the presence of both weak and strong teams is what makes the league interesting. Even so, now in the premier league, lot of the teams that are regarded as small teams are no more and when you underestimate a team, that’s when they’ll give you a tough time to even score even when the odds are on you to win the match easily. Manchester City cannot be regarded as a small team just like Newcastle United cannot also be regarded as one. Manchester City is the better team but Newcastle United can also have a chance to win the match or draw the match.
It was a great game in terms of performance and execution from the main players and the result is that they demolished the West Ham defense and won the game by a 5-1 score. Slot picked the team after Klop's departure and never let anyone down with their performances so far everyone is very happy with the way Liverpool performed.
The new Liverpool has been doing a great job and his performance since joining the team as the head coach has been impressive and I can’t but say that Liverpool got a good replacement for Klopp. They can and are already in the race for the league title, they just need to remain consistent and they need to show that great performance that they can win the league title without any doubts as the league is progressing.
