The suspense of five major leagues vying for championships still depends on the Premier League!
Compared to the leaders of the Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, Real Madrid has already taken a lead of more than 10 points, while La Liga and Real Madrid have a lead of 8 points. Only the English Premier League is competing for the Three Kingdoms Championship, and the situation is still anxious and unpredictable!
In the latest round of matches, defending champions Manchester City were forced to a 0-0 draw at home by Arsenal, allowing Liverpool, who finished second in the front row, to reap the benefits. After a 2-1 comeback against Brighton, they climbed to the top of the points table.
It’s hard to imagine that Manchester City (1.27 billion euros) and Gunners (1.12 billion euros), the two most valuable football teams, played far less brilliantly than Liverpool’s 1-1 victory over Manchester City in the previous round. Both sides only had three shots in 90 minutes, playing too cautiously, but it’s understandable.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has regained their true nature as a “reverse club”. After Brighton’s former Gunners’ lightning goal by Welbeck, Diaz and Salah each scored a 2-1 comeback, returning to the top of the table. Liverpool have won 7 times in this season’s league despite falling behind, equaling their all-time comebacks in a single season.
However, competition is far from over. The number of changes to the top of the Premier League this season has been too frequent, with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal all becoming leaders multiple times, but they have never been able to widen the gap with their competitors. There are often situations where the current round leads and the next round is overtaken.
At present, Liverpool has accumulated 67 points, only leading by 2 points, Arsenal has accumulated 65 points and is in second place, while Manchester City is 64 points behind the top 3 points.
As veteran English Premier League commentator Zhan Jun once said: Liverpool has taken the initiative by changing the big flag at the city head. But don’t forget, next week will be a double match, and there will be a “Double Red Cross” on Sunday. Maybe at this time next week, the top spot will change again!
2 wins and 2 draws! Strong Dialogue Gunslinger Invincible
The six league dialogues between Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal this season have all come to an end. Arsenal has the best record, with 1 win and 1 draw against both Liverpool and Manchester City. They have drawn 3-1 at home against Liverpool and 1-0 at home against Manchester City, with two away matches. Manchester City vs Liverpool drew 1-1 in both matches.
Arsenal remain unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws, earning 8 points. Manchester City has 3 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 3 points, and Liverpool has also been 3 draws and 1 loss.
Arteta’s team has significantly improved their performance in strong dialogue, including the Community Shield penalty victory. This season, the Gunners have won 2 out of 3 matches against Manchester City and drawn 1. In the 16 matches before this season, the Gunners suffered 15 losses and only won 1 game.
In sharp contrast, Manchester City’s winning rate in the dialogue between strong players has plummeted. Last season, Blue Moon faced BIG6 teams in the English Premier League with 7 wins and 3 losses, earning 21 points. We have played 9 games this season, with a record of 2 wins, 6 draws, and 1 loss, with only 12 points. Both of our victories were driven by Manchester United.
Invisible again? Haaland was given a clean sheet by the gunman’s center back
Manchester City is struggling against strong teams, and Haaland may have to take the blame. Although the Magic have scored 18 goals in 24 Premier League matches this season, continuing to lead the top scorer list, these 18 goals are distributed in 12 matches, and there are still 12 games with zero shuts.
This season, in both home and away Premier League matches and Community Shield, Haaland faced the Gunners starting center back Gabriel and Saliba in three matches without any action, scoring 0 goals, providing 0 assists, and even shooting 0 shots. He only touched the ball 59 times in three games and was completely defenseless.
Last season, Haaland played against the top four teams in the Premier League (Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle), scoring 6 goals and 5 assists in 6 games. This season, he played 5 games against the top four teams in the Premier League (Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa) before scoring 1 goal (against Villa).
Haaland has been criticized by fans for appearing invisible in big scenes, which is not something unique to this season. Last season in the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League, Haaland struggled to play. Although due to Guardiola’s tactical arrangements, Haaland seemed to be in jail, his personal abilities and technical shortcomings were also obvious facts.
Back-to-back consecutive kicks in the top three! Tottenham Hotspur becomes the champion judge
There are no longer any matches between the military factories, but starting from the end of this month, in the 34th, 35th, and 36th rounds, Tottenham Hotspur will play against Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and the teams of Postkoguru, becoming the referees for the English Premier League championship.

Since 2020, Tottenham Hotspur has an advantage over Manchester City with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the league. In the first leg of this season, they have drawn 3-3 away against Manchester City. They have also repeatedly defeated their arch rivals in the North London derby. As for the Red Army, they have only lost two Premier League games this season, one of which was thanks to Tottenham Hotspur.

After this round, data agency OPTA updated the latest probability of winning the Premier League this season, with Liverpool rising by 12.4% to become the biggest favorite with 47.7%; Manchester City has dropped by 12.4%, currently at 33.5%; Arsenal remains unchanged at 18.8%.
Who is the 2023-24 Premier League champion remains a difficult answer to choose from. It may be difficult to unravel the mystery until the last few rounds.
