This is the first time under Guardiola's leadership, feeling the pressure. Manchester City are in trouble after losing four consecutive matches in all competitions. Should everything be questioned at this blue club as the injury list grows longer? Manchester City's defense is currently in a state of alarm, with Pep Guardiola forced to rely on 19-year-old center-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in the match against Brighton.
Five points behind title rivals Liverpool before the international break. If they do not find a solution to overcome the injury storm and regain their form soon, the Etihad team risks being left behind by Liverpool in the championship race as soon as December ends, similar to the scenario that happened in the 2019/20 season.

Ahead of the 2024-2025 season, Man City is downsizing by selling 4 of its players, and City is also recruiting 2 new players who are expected to strengthen City's attack and defense lines, with Mateo from Chelsea who plays as a central midfielder and Josko from RB Leipzig who plays as a defender, and Josko is also one of the highest rated defenders in the world. And this recruitment further emphasizes City's commitment to strengthening the midfield and defense. For the start of the season, all of this went according to plan with several series of wins achieved. However, City did not expect that the downsizing they did ahead of the 2024-2025 season would be a disaster with a storm of injuries that occurred unexpectedly. So that in the end man city had to experience a series of defeats

Arne Slot managed to keep Liverpool's game in good condition. not many changes have occurred, they are still very strong in midfield and also fast with wing attacks. but the changes may look quite good in their defense.
They appear quite productive with few goals conceded. hopefully, Arne Slot manages to maintain this performance well until the end of the season. and that will be the Premier League trophy for him. I know the competition is still long, all possibilities can happen, but hopefully, the worst possibility they experience is not.

Being able to perform well in the Premier League and Champions League is something that has been expected all this time. Although Arne Slot seems to only continue what Jurgen Klopp has built, there have not been too many changes in Liverpool's body. However, Arne Slot was able to maintain and improve Liverpool's performance.

Although it is still too early to judge Liverpool and say that Liverpool will win the title, considering the long season. However, seeing how Liverpool performs and is consistent on the field, they will remain a club that competes closely at the top of the standings until the end of the season.
