Going exactly as expected I'd say. Same way as ManU played against Liverpool both times last year, sit deep and play behind the line. Not the necessary quality yet in the releasing pass but Rashford or Martial breakaway is happening any moment.

Thiago as well, what a shame for him. Looks awesome but just is made of glass and cannot play week in week out, looked awesome first half, genuine class. Just you know he about to get injured again. (This his first home game for Liverpool!)

0-0 it is, Yanited better of chances in second half, first half was Thiago show but again Liverpool look lacklustre in front of goal, strange.

City win tonight and they go 2nd! Leicester played a game more and are 3rd and Scouse be 4th!

Fairly typical top match where both teams are afraid to lose imo. United was very cautious until the last 15 minutes, then felt the game was going their way and mounted some final pressure.

If Everton wins their game, City wins 1 and loses vs Villa, and Villa wins all 3 remaining games, then Liverpool would be 6th place after 18 rounds!

United had the better chances, if Bruno and/or Rashford didn't both have stinkers they should have won. The dippers are toothless in attack.

Big matches in Premier League this season are all boring draws, lol.

btw, Athletic Bilbao winning the supercup after defeating both Madrid and Barcelona.

The Premier League has become a lot less crazy as the season has progressed. I mean, it's still absurdly even. If not for factoring in the presumed strength of the teams, and if we were to only look at the current league placement, then we'd be looking at something like 6-10 potential winners halfway through the season. Even when factoring in the presumed strength, we're looking at 3-4. (I'd consider City potential winners even if they were in Aston Villa's situation, but I don't consider Aston Villa a potential winner. )

But sadly, while the season started with an absurd amount of goals, this is one way it has become less exciting.

Quoting myself from october here:
The goal per game average is at 3.68 right now. Average for every PL season is 2.66 (hasn't been above 3 since 1966.)

Now, this number has dropped to 2.74. Seeing how high it was at first, looks like we've had a fairly low average tally since then.

Italy however is at 3.12 midway through the season! Certainly in conflict with what one might think when thinking of Italian football, but they're scoring - and conceding- a lot of goals this season.

Well he’s done almost everything at Barcelona, suppose he had to tick off the get sent off box too.

City’s form is looking a bit ominous for the rest of the league. Feels like other sides bar Liverpool don’t have that extra gear to shift to and win every game, and Liverpool haven’t been able to access it this season either.

Shades of 2016 which was a great, historic season but realistically if any of the big hitters had come into their stride that year they would have dominated the league table.

City's 7-2-0 past 9 games is good, but it's not like they had fantastic opposition. Draw vs united, a very impressive win away vs Chelsea and a 1-0 vs southampton are the only games vs top 10 teams - while it includes games vs 13. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

I mean, I might just have them as current league favorites myself, too. But I think it's really close between them, United and Liverpool. Maybe something like a 30% city 25% united 25% liverpool 20% any other team.

Rumour mill says Barca wannabe president Rousaud says Haaland is a done deal meanwhile Chelesea is offering 100+ for Haaland.
