Manchester City’s title odds have been slashed while Liverpool and Chelsea’s chances of Champions League qualification were dented by dropped points.
Drawing upon his experience of numerous Premier League title challenges with Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Andrew Cole has taken to often repeating a line parroted by the legendary manager: “The season doesn’t get started until Easter.
”game until after all the chocolate eggs have been found, thereby bringing an end to all the fussy preliminary work in the eyes of Cole. From here on out, this is where the real business takes place. Yet, to many onlookers outside Ferguson’s sphere of influence, it appears as though plenty of important matters have already been logged and recorded. This weekend felt particularly significant across the full length of the Premier League table. While Arsenal pulled further clear of Manchester City, Cole’s former employers Manchester United opened up some breathing room in the battle for Champions League qualification.’s supercomputer has been able to offer some pretty confident predictions about how the campaign will look when everyone agrees that it has actually concluded.against West Ham United would be catastrophic to their Premier League title tilt. “Now it’s West Ham that defines the Premier League,”City duly dropped two points in a toothless 1–1 draw yet Guardiola insisted: “It’s not over.”inspired by the record-breaking feats of Max Dowman isn’t as solid as it may appear. If City win their game in hand and defeat the Gunners at the Etihad in April, they would be within one victory of once again reeling in Mikel Arteta’s side. However, the supercomputer isn’t as optimistic as Guardiola. Arsenal are given a staggering 97.46% chance of winning their first title since 2004, five years before their game-changer against Everton was born. That swollen percentage appears to overlook the nervous energy and lack of ingenuity which has permeated most Arsenal matches since the turn of the year, yet it shows how littlehas discussed the difficulty he faces in finding the right balance in his starting lineups, which is a problem that has afflicted his former assistant as well. Yet, while Arteta has been able to rely upon the impact of his bench—Arsenal’s Premier League substitutes have more direct goal contributions between them than any other club—City’s replacements have been painfully lacking. Only one substitute has scored for the Sky Blues in the Premier League this season: Rayan Cherki back on the opening weekend in August.It’s now 16 assists for Bruno Fernandes in the Premier League this season—a United record. | Ash Donelon/Manchester United/Getty Images’s 1–1 draw against Tottenham on Sunday with a chorus of boos. “We have to wake up because if we carry on like this, we should be happy with the Conference League,” the midfielder fumed.’s model, Liverpool are still expected to sneak into the Champions League places, which—despite the flood of hasty opinion pieces lamenting the Premier League’s demise in Europe—isat home to Newcastle United on Saturday. Of the 22 shots Liam Rosenior’s side rattled off, only three were on target. Having enjoyed a winning start to life under Enzo Maresca’s replacement, the Blues have claimed just one win in their last five top-flight fixtures, seeing them tumble down to sixth place, one point behind Liverpool.. Michael Carrick’s rejuvenated side are almost as close to City in second as they are to Chelsea in sixth .all matched their draw. Yet the mood in north London has unmistakably lifted. Spurs were well worth their point at Anfield, taking advantage of a Liverpool side coasting on a first-half lead to snatch parity through Richarlison in the 90th minute. “It’s a long way to our goal, which is to stay in the Premier League,” Igor Tudor freely admitted, “but today was important to show what they showed.” What Tottenham showed was some fight.pointed out, “give everything, then the football will give you back.” The football appears to have taken a lot away from Tottenham lately but more displays of this sort of spirit and grit will surely see them claim salvation.Grey Whitebloom is a writer, reporter and editor for Sports Illustrated FC.
