The Red Devils, it’s time to admit, have had another disappointing season. Currently, Man United sits in sixth place in the league table, but their chances of catching up to Tottenham and securing a spot in European competitions are practically nonexistent. With eight matches left in the season, Erik ten Hag’s team trails Tottenham by nine points, and judging by Man United’s recent performances, closing such a gap seems unrealistic. Midweek, Man United traveled to London to face Chelsea. Despite conceding two goals early in the match, the Manchester side found the strength to stage a comeback. However, in injury time, just as it seemed the “Red Devils” were headed for victory, the visitors conceded a penalty, and then let in the decisive goal from a corner kick. This defeat marked Man United’s 12th in the Premier League. It’s the worst result in the top ten along with Newcastle.
The “Reds” took advantage of a draw in the head-to-head match between Manchester City and Arsenal and climbed to the top spot in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s team secured a hard-fought victory over Brighton with a score of 2-1. After that, midweek, Liverpool hosted Sheffield United at home and secured a 3-1 victory. At the moment, Liverpool leads Arsenal by two points and “City” by three. Compared to the previous weekend, the situation remains unchanged, as all three top teams secured three points each. Argentine Alexis Mac Allister produced a masterpiece in this match. The player is having one of the best seasons, with five goals and five assists in Liverpool’s last ten matches.
