The Saturday Premier League matches ended with quite a lot of goals and the results were very predictable. The big boys did the job perfectly despite their Uefa Competitions hustle.
Chelsea had a great game against Wolves and for some reason, I was wondering why Wolves remained in the Premier League because of their terrible performance against the blues. Newcastle also did put Brentford to the sword, the match gave us the most goals in the Saturday fixture and Tottenham also went on to strengthen their spot on the league table after defeating Brighton by a lone goal.
Manchester City continued their beautiful run in the league by putting 4 past the Southampton goalkeeper, the victory at the Etihad stadium was all they needed to snatch the first position on the league table from Arsenal and it gives me a lot of concern because the gunner's matchday 10 fixtures might put an end to their reign on top of the league table.
Arsenal has put a lot into this season's Premier League and they are getting the necessary result to keep them going and motivated but all that could change as they face a huge threat in their match-day 10 fixture.
The team has been quite impressive but they aren't invisible. Manchester United is the only team that has stopped Arsenal's progress once this season and we might be seeing it happen again.
Arsenal's hope of reclaiming the top spot in the league at the moment is currently in the hand of Jurgen Klopp and his boys. They currently have an outstanding which could still help them but there is no guarantee that they will win the outstanding.
The North London club will welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium and it would be Arsenal's third match against the top Premier League sides.
Manchester United didn't show them mercy but the London derby against Tottenham ended well for Mikel Arteta and his boys.
Playing against Liverpool is just like facing off against any other Premier League side but it isn't as simple as just that. Arsenal needs all three points from the encounter to keep them in shape for the Premier League race and Liverpool could rewrite Arsenal's future for this season's EPL if things end in the visitor's favor.
Liverpool isn't doing well, they have been struggling from the first day of the season till this very moment. Just last week, they had to come back from 2 -0 deficit to play a 3-3 draw against Brighton. First, it was injury issues but looking at the situation of things, you can tell that the team isn't in great form.
Arsenal should get past Liverpool with their present form but I can tell that it won't be possible. The two teams met four times last season and Arsenal managed to get a draw in all these fixtures, Liverpool might not be in great shape but they are still capable of wrecking damage.
A lot of pressure will be on Arsenal if they fail to win because an outstanding match is not enough to guarantee their spot back on the top of the table if Liverpool gets ruthless with them. The point difference won't be the same anymore even if Arsenal fail against Liverpool and win their outstanding.
They will need to continue winning every match to stay ahead of Manchester City and playing each other might be what will properly separate but sides on the league table. Arsenal should have the home advantage to themselves and hopefully, they can get something of out the match if they bank on that.
