Even though Liverpool won, Man City was still the champion

Manchester, who had just played, was held and drew with Westham and the result was that the difference in points was not too big.

Liverpool are tight on 86 points with two games to go, and Man City are ahead at the top with 89 points and it's clear Man City still have the upper hand

Man City's match with Westham ended in a 2-2 draw, and if Liverpool won the remaining 2 matches, it is possible that Liverpool will become champions with Man City's record slipping in the last match.

Man City's last match will be against Aston Villa. And Liverpool with Southampton and Wolverhampton.

According to Paul Merson it looks like Liverpool's win will have no impact on Man City

"Liverpool could have won 55-0 over Southampton but it wouldn't have made a difference. They have no chance of winning the Premier League," Merson told Sky Sports.

Where the key now is the success of Man City equalizing against West Ham, if you lose Man City are in a difficult position.

Manchester United was beaten by Manchester United in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium

By playing one game more and winning, Manchester City remain six points clear of Liverpool.
Manchester United in this match did not present Christiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani due to injury, Rapahel Varane and Luke Shaw due to Covid -19.

A precise low shot resulted in the Belgian's second goal in the scramble for goal mouth. And Kevinbruyne was central to this win, putting City ahead with a fine finish and restoring the lead.

City stepped up strategy after the break then took the lead in the 68th minute. When Riyad Mahrez found De Bruyne's corner with a half-volley and beat United goalkeeper David de Gea.

After a long VAR check for offside. City provided the closing goal by Mahrez.

From the start of the first whistle as City forced to score against Manchester United, De Bruyne scored twice to give City a third, and they are in no mood to give up their title at the Etihad Stadium.

In the first half City's performance was impressive but after halftime their form was even more amazing and City were able to beat United, who at that time United were not given the opportunity to hold the ball and hold off attacks.

The ball was dominated by City, and broke through United's defense to make United lose.
This match was like a torture for United, Maguire in a position outside City looked to give the ball into the goal mouth and get the second goal.
He also got a yellow card for making a rough tackle.

The defeat in this match left United desperate for an important fourth place. This grim evidence makes winning in Europe's elite competition a fantasy with evidence of this poor game, and it is painful to watch United chase the shadows and lose every shadow.

And against City it was a bleak affair that even weighed heavily in their campaign to save their season.

Manchester maintain their grip on top four spot in Premier League

In the first game in front of the fans between the two old rivals at Elland Road since October 2003, they produced a spectacle fit to play in a flood and atmosphere that was expected to be thunderous.

What a resurgence
level with two goals in one minute, Rodrigo's cross in the 53rd minute drifted behind goalkeeper David de Gea. And the substitute sent Elland Road into joy when he sent in a cross from Daniel James

Eagles came back to seal Manchester United's win with a quiet finish two minutes from time from Fernandes' pass.

Manchester United took a tough road to a phase win - possession in the first half, quick shock then recovery to finally seal the win

Leeds showed their defensive weakness in the first half when Diego Llorente failed miserably to mark Maguire in a corner, a situation not helped by goalkeeper Meslier's hokey-cokey 'in-out' which left him in no man's land.

They were hit again when Victor Lindelof stepped out of defense to feed Sancho for a perfect cross over Fernandes' head to send a cloud of gloom over Elland Road, to accompany those who continued to pour down rain on the left field which brought water to the surface.

Harry Kane Signs Luxury House, Tottenham Fans Are Worried

MDP Live - Harry Kane has moved house in January 2022. Because, he and his wife and three children have a new house to live in.

The Tottenham Hotspur star's new home has a rental price of 1 million pounds per year. The house that Kane rented can be found in North London.

As revealed by The Sun, the house that Kane is renting has a spa, cinema, staff room and elevator to facilitate more than 20 rooms. The England international will also have a round-the-clock private security guard and a personal chef to sort his meals.

Worth £20,000 per week, the property also has nine bathrooms and is located on four floors. One of the main features of this house is the magnificent entrance hall with chandeliers and marble floors.

Scare

Tottenham fans are a little worried by the news that Harry Kane would rather rent a house than buy it. This indicates the 28-year-old striker is still hesitant to commit to his future at the North London club.

Kane almost moved to Manchester City in 2021 for a fee of 160 million pounds. Pep Guardiola's team want to use his services after Kane with England reached the final of Euro 2020.

It's still possible to move

So far in the 2021-22 season, Kane has only scored five goals in 19 Premier League games. Kane's prowess in front of goal is needed as Tottenham want to qualify for the Champions League.

There is still the possibility of Kane leaving Tottenham Stadium in the 2022 summer transfer window. Unless, Antonio Conte can convince the striker to stay next season.

If Kane lands the long-awaited transfer in the summer, then it will be easier for him to leave his new home.

Previously, Rangnick made a surprising statement saying that captain Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were not good enough to play.

Weakness

During his presentation Rangnick did expose the team's defensive weaknesses and recommended that major changes were needed.

Rangnick insists all three players need to be replaced. MU said the German coach needed to change.

Help

Previously, it was reported that United would offer four players as consideration for a move for midfielder Jude Bellingham. This Premier League club needs a new player in this position.

The Red Devils are looking for reinforcements in midfield, as Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are all out of contract in the summer.

Thrown

According to the Daily Mirror, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek and Eric Bailly are the three players United are ready to offer in exchange for Bellingham.

These three players have now been thrown from the first team. Martial even wants to leave Old Trafford this month or in the summer.

Consultant

Rangnick took the lead at Old Trafford in November following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The 63-year-old will oversee the team until the end of the season before taking on a consultant role for the next two years.

Part of his focus in the coming years will be based on talent assessment and identification. And he has properly informed the club's top brass about the players the club already has.

Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction: The Away Team is Thirsty for Victory

MDP Live - Chelsea is looking for an outlet for anger after being humiliated by Manchester City last Saturday. In the Premier League match, the Blues were forced to surrender 0-1 by The Citizens. Kevin de Bruyne's single goal in the 70th minute buried Thomas Tuchel's men at the Etihad Stadium.

This defeat also widened the distance between the Blues and City. Chelsea now occupies the third position with 43 points or 13 points adrift of The Citizens who control the first position.

So that the gap is not getting wider, Chelsea must look for the missing points. And Brighton, who is in seventh place on the Premier League table, is not impossible to be the victim. The two teams are scheduled to meet at Falmer Stadium on Wednesday (19/1/2022) at 03.00.

The embarrassment of losing against City is not the only reason Chelsea need to do better at Brighton. However, it has been a long time since Thomas Tuchel's troops have not picked up the three points. Of the last six games, Chelsea have won only once and drawn four games.

With the current points score, it is not impossible that Chelsea will be knocked out of the top four, considering that the teams below it, such as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, have more games remaining.

However, Chelsea certainly needs to work hard at Brighton. Brighton is known to be on fire and is unbeaten in the last five matches in all competitions, including 4 Premier League matches. In the meeting with Chelsea in December 2021, Brighton was able to force a 1-1 draw.

It's a shame neither Brighton nor Chelsea will perform at their best. Both teams lost a number of pillars due to injury, Covid-19, and the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.

Lineup Prediction

Brighton & Hove Albion:

Sanchez; Lamptey, Webster, Burn, Cucurella; Gross, Lallana, Moder, Mac Allister; Trossard, Maupay
