Changes in positions in the standings will continue to occur. Bournemouth position is still not safe because they are only 2 points ahead of Newcastle who are in 12th place, the results of the next match will determine their position and Man United has the opportunity to provide competition for the top six positions. Man City and Man United will be very busy in the January transfer market to strengthen their strength, as we know, their current performance is inconsistent.
I really support these 2 clubs to actively trade players in the transfer market next month, because there really needs to be a change, especially Man City who might be looking for new players who are still young and able to replace some vulnerable positions. Meanwhile Man United will focus more on solving the problem in the front line by selling Rashford. I am sure that Man United's current back line will still be maintained. Maguire is also starting to be liked by Amorim because the formation of 3 defenders in the back line is familiar to him when he was still a defender for the England national team. And it was proven that Maguire in the match against Man City yesterday managed to block Haaland movement.
Gaurdiolla is more concerned about getting his many injured players back than singing new players. The January transfer market might just be a thing of concern for Manchester United who will be looking forward to strengthening their attack line. For city pep Is insisting his old players be given back to him according to him

"What I want is my players back, the players that we have I will love desperately to compete with the squad that we had at the beginning of the season," Guardiola told a press conference. "I said many times. This is the only regret that I have; I don't have the players. These players, not new ones. But in the certain moment, the right moment, we will see.."

Maguire seems to adjust with Reuben Amorim strategy showing great improvement as seen in their game against City. I think as mentioned the focus might just drive towards getting forward to improve on their attacking strength so the can compete for the top 5 position in the league
