Guardiola’s City and Arsenal hit four but no joy for Mourinho

“When we lose there are always doubts”, said Guardiola.

Smith is also not convinced that Arsenal will walk way with three points from the Stadium of Light, after a poor game against Middlesbrough last Saturday.

Sitting miserably in 12, Claudio Ranieri’s champions have been more erratic than an ECG during a panic attack, but they’re up against a Tottenham side that has nearly slipped into a stupor, having drawn their last two games.

Guardiola, whose team host his former club Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday, made eight changes to his starting XI from Wednesday’s 1-0 League Cup defeat at Manchester United.

1 – Sunderland scored with their first shot on target in the game. Hull leak goals like the Titanic leaked icy water, and Burnley seem to lack players with experience, surprisingly given they were at this level two years ago. For now, it looks pretty good but at the end of the season, if they keep struggling to find the back of the net, those single points gained are going to look an terrible lot more like two points lost.

Which means one from three for fourth place – Spurs, Liverpool, or Manchester United – and I think Spurs have the best chance.

Manchester United, who are experiencing a dip in form, might come into the reckoning if they start accumulating points on a regular basis from now on.

Burnley’s keeper produced another excellent performance with a series of outstanding saves, notably from Jesse Lingard and Zoran Ibrahimovic.

“You can see how much people put in the effort every weekend to get the points on board, and I think they will all be fighting until the last minute for the title”. David Moyes has become such a tragic figure, and I am not sure if there is a man more deserving of our sympathies more.

Arsenal can not be trusted to win the Premier League title, says Gary Neville, despite being level on points at the top of the table after 10 games played. “Top players like [Harry] Kane or [Eric] Dier were injured but they’re still in a good position.” .

Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud scored braces to guide the Gunners to glory, Jermaine Defoe scored the consolation goal for the home side.

Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool remained in a three-way tie for the lead after 10 matches as Jose Mourinho endured another day of ignominy. Emre Can opened the scoring for the visitors in the 16th minute, but Palace responded within two minutes when Dejan Lovren’s mistimed clearance was headed in by James McArthur.

“Nice and easy game, eh!” Phillipe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino look to be in fine form, and if the manager can tighten up the defence, Liverpool can go the distance.

“With a year at the club, Klopp would be better suited to the demands of the English game, his players would be well adapted to his way of playing and they would have no mid-week distraction from the task at the weekend”. By the end of the November we’ll know more about ourselves. “I’m very happy at the moment”.

Ahmed Musa’s second-half goal canceled out Vincent Janssen’s penalty just before the break at White Hart Lane.
