If the injury to Saliba is a lengthy one Arsenal will drop more points.

Obviously, itâs fun being top, but that aside, this is the most open and exciting season for a very long time.

A few weeks ago Brighton were getting lauded for getting into the top 4 and being CL contenders, but started this week in the bottom half. I think that is less an indictment on Brighton and more a reflection of how many teams there seem to be this season who are good enough to take points of the top sides.

Yeah, there are some teams playing really good football. This week itâs Bournemouth, but Brighton, Fulham, Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle etc have all impressed in different ways lately.
Brentford are the dividing line. Below them is mostly dross, but above them are teams who can all beat each other on their day.

Itâs also fun to compare the payroll table to the current table:
Brentford is very impressive, Manchester United much less.

I would say Bournemouth is the most impressive.

I would say all those salary figures need to be taken with pinch of salt.

New challenger every weekâŠ
Was Chelsea
Then Arsenal
Then Forest
Then Arsenal again
And now itâs Man City after hitting form at just the right time (as matching us over the last 5 games).
Of course itâs too early to call anything but Iâd like to see a bit more before we predict the turning of a corner. Is it not just their football period has been less hectic? And theyâve played teams who generally arenât performing well.
They now have to go for broke in Europe as well at least one win to get them top 24 but then that adds two additional games. Itâs highly unlikely and probably impossible they can get top 8.

Didnât they lose a two goal lead just 4 days ago?
Yeah their winter period has been Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Brentford and Ipswich. Doesnât get much easier than that. Fact theyâve dropped points in two of those games should be the talking point not a big win against a dreadful Ipswich team.
Cityâs next four games in the league are Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool. Win all those and they can start talking about being back.

Yeah.
That seems to have been completely forgotten in this analysis. Effectively itâs been written off performances against Ipswich and a West Ham side weâve managed to beat twice 5-0 and 5-1.
Because the Leicester game as I said they should have been one down and conceded at 1-0. It wasnât massively impressive.
