In terms of the last six Premier League games the league table has a somewhat unfamiliar look to it. Although with Tottenham 10th, Liverpool 13th and Chelsea 15th, this is pretty much what we would expect – simply because unlike professional journalists we look at the last six games table. So I suspect many football supporters could be a little surprised if all they do is read the newspapers and watch TV.
However such lower levels of the table don’t really concern us at the moment because in terms of the last six games this is a case of second against fourth, and sadly it is Arsenal who are in fourth. But the difference between the two sides is just one point and two goals. And we all know where that one point went – it went the way of PGMO. Here’s the table…
So the difference between the two sides is simply VAR. Looking at the actual league table this is going to be a game between the top two, with Arsenal three points ahead and a game in hand, despite PGMO and its VAR allies. A win obviously takes us six points clear, a draw leaves things as they are, but sadly a Manchester City win takes them top, although with Arsenal still having that game in hand.
However, if we compare Arsenal at home with Manchester City away, as we always do before each game we get a very different picture.
For now, with each club having played ten games the situation looks refreshingly Arsenal-orientated. So let’s take a look at those ten Manchester City away games… Here is the full list…
As we can see two of those defeats have come in their last two games and both were against other teams from the Big Seven of this season. And both were by one goal.
So although when Manchester City play against more lowly teams in the league away from home, a victory is not assured although they generally do get it. But when they come against any of the bigger sides away then that makes life more difficult. Yes, they can just about beat Chelsea, but not Liverpool who lie 15th in the away form table.
Arsenal on the other hand at home against the other members of the Big Seven have played four, drawn one and won the other three by scoring three goals.
Manchester City have played five such games but only won one of them – and that was against the weakest of the Big Seven teams, Chelsea.. Otherwise they lose by a goal or draw.
Putting all this together that would suggest a victory by one goal to Arsenal. But of course, such calculations are done without taking PGMO and VAR into account and with those two lunacies available for the powers that be, we might take it that Manchester City are dead favourites to win. This could be VAR and PGMO at their very worst, and if so, Arsenal don’t stand a chance.
