Honestly, I personally didn't expect Manchester City to be held to a draw by Newcastle in this match. The reason is, from the start of the first half, Halland and his friends played quite impressively. It was proven that in the 35th minute, Gvardiol was able to score a goal against Newcastle. After this goal, I personally hoped that Manchester City would score again in the second half, but in reality Manchester City lost concentration and Newcastle managed to equalize in the 58th minute from the penalty spot. Even after the draw, I personally am still quite optimistic that Manchester City can definitely win this match. But unfortunately, until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, the score was still tied. So Manchester City must accept this draw and maybe with this draw Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League standings will be slightly threatened. The reason is that currently Liverpool, which is in 2nd place in the Premier League, is only 2 points different from Manchester City. So, if for example Liverpool can win the match against Wolves, then it is certain that Manchester City's position will be shifted by Liverpool. And my prediction is that Liverpool can definitely win easily against Wolves. Because it is clear that Liverpool's performance with Wolves is very different. So with this, it is certain that Manchester City will be shifted from the top position in the English league standings.

I agree, the draw between Manchester City and Newcastle certainly came as a surprise. Despite Manchester City's dominance in the first half, they were unable to maintain the pressure throughout the second half which allowed Newcastle to equalize. This result does pose potential concerns for Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League.

Your point about Liverpool potentially shifting Manchester City's position by winning against Wolves is plausible. Currently, Liverpool's form is impressive and they seem to have the upper hand against the Wolves.

My prediction turned out to be correct, because Liverpool managed to win against Wolves with a score of 2-1 and now Liverpool has replaced Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings. Manchester City's failure when facing Newcastle did have an impact on its position, because as we know the Premier League has a very tight competitive atmosphere. So a draw does have a big influence on the Premier League. Now Manchester City is in second place in the Premier League with 14 points. Maybe, for example, Manchester City does not perform optimally in the next match, it could be that Manchester City's position is shifted again. The reason is, currently Arsenal, who is ranked 3rd in the Premier League, has the same points as Manchester City, namely 14 points. So currently Manchester City and Arsenal only differ in terms of the number of goals. Therefore, Manchester City must be careful with Arsenal, because if Manchester City gets another draw like against Newcastle, it is certain that Manchester City's position will be shifted again.

And talking about the Liverpool VS Wolves match, in that match, Salah and his teammates played quite well. The reason is that in this match Liverpool played carefully and was well organized. So even though Liverpool didn't score many goals in this match, Liverpool could win the match well. And if Liverpool can maintain their good performance and consistently win in the English league, I think it is clear that Liverpool can become champions in the English league.
