EPL Gameweek 5 Results: Man City Show Lethargy, Man United and Chelsea Enjoying their New Strikers, while Arsenal Shows Chances of Revival

Gameweek 5 of the English Premier League was nothing short of entertainment. Manchester City showed a lot of lethargy, drawing 0-0 with Southampton. Pep Guardiola’s side lost their momentum and even with strong substitutions such as Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez coming in, failed to beat a seemingly improved Southampton. Chelsea, on the other hand, walked over Tottenham, beating them 3-0. Lukaku’s comeback has seemingly reinvigorated the club and we can’t wait to see what he does for the club.

CR7’s Comeback a Morale Booster for Man Utd

Cristiano Ronaldo’s comeback was nothing short of a team morale booster for Manchester United who beat West Ham 2-1. CR7’s return to the club has seen the club become highly motivated and has provided the spirit of winning that Ronaldo is known for. Man United have this season to lose and we hope that the team will not let down Cristiano and its fans. On the other hand, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer seems to be enjoying decreasing questions about his future at the club, all thanks to his former Man United teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Klopp’s Organized Methods of Success

Liverpool showed once again how organized they are after beating Crystal Palace 3-0. Of all the teams in the EPL this season, Liverpool seem to be the only team following a set and strict game plan. This is so much so that their manager, Jurgen Klopp is sometimes seen to be angered after they score a goal but do it in a way that is not according to his game plan. Liverpool are among the favorites for the English Premier League title this season, and we can’t wait to see what Man City, Chelsea, and Man United have in reply to their bid.

Another Victory for a Reviving Arsenal

A seemingly reviving Arsenal followed up their win last week with a 1-0 victory over Burnley. Two wins in a row is a good thing for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s boys may just get a much-needed morale boost from the win. Arsenal’s confidence had been waning, after back-to-back losses in the EPL opener. They may however lack the oomph to get all the way to the league title but are no doubt a contender for the top four.

A Blow for Leicester

Leicester City suffered a blow after losing 2-1 to Brighton, in a match that saw them shockingly upended. Leicester are a strong team but lack the star power to really be amazing. Even so, they have dependable players such as Jamie Vardy, who have inspired the club enough before, to see them contend for the league title.
