Eager Liverpool aims for comfortable victory in the Merseyside derby, while Arsenal hunt for a third consecutive win against Manchester City
In the upcoming weekend's action, one of the key talking points is the highly anticipated clash between Arsenal and Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium. This encounter holds significant importance for both teams, as Arsenal aims to show they can challenge for the title, while a victory for City would be a significant boost for Pep Guardiola.
Arsenal, who have been Premier League runners-up for three consecutive seasons, finishing behind City on two of those occasions, are now eyeing a third straight win against the Spaniard's Manchester City. The Gunners have been in impressive form lately, having won their last two games.
On the other side, City is currently in the midst of a major rebuild after last season's disappointing third-place finish. Guardiola is hoping to guide his team back to the top, and a win against Arsenal could be a crucial step towards achieving that goal.
Meanwhile, Manchester United finds itself in a precarious position. The Red Devils could find themselves in the relegation zone if results go against them after their upcoming game against Chelsea. United has taken just 31 points from 31 games, performing worse than any ever-present Premier League team since Amorim took charge.
Former United captain and record goalscorer Wayne Rooney believes United have "got worse" since Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag last November. The team's poor form has been a source of concern for fans, and a win against Chelsea would be a much-needed boost.
Chelsea, who have made a steady start to the season and have been tipped as outsiders to challenge for the title, pose a formidable opponent for United. The Blues have not lost to United at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2013, with five wins and seven draws in twelve matches since then.
Liverpool, who left-back Andy Robertson wants to start winning "simpler and easier," has been in impressive form this season. The Reds have scored a winner in the 83rd minute or later in all five games they have played this season. However, Liverpool looms following the international break for United, and the Red Devils will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture last season.
Elsewhere, Liverpool faces Merseyside rivals Everton next, who have won just once in 28 games at Anfield in all competitions. A win for the Reds would extend their unbeaten run against their rivals to 29 games.
Arsenal hosts Manchester City on Sunday, aiming to show they can challenge for the title. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be hoping to bounce back against Chelsea and avoid slipping further into the relegation zone. The upcoming games promise to be exciting, with plenty at stake for all involved.
