The clouds have gathered over Tuchel:
Bayern-Leipzig. Harry Kane will defend Thomas Tuchel
In the last five matches of the English Championship, Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace (5-0), Nottingham Forest (2-1), Liverpool (3-1), West Ham (6-0) and Burnley (5-0 ). The Gunners are third in the standings. The difference with the Merseysiders is five points, but they have one game less.
It seemed that Mikel Arteta’s team was in fantastic shape and was prepared to beat absolutely any opponent. However, in the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League he sensationally lost against Porto (0-1). It is noteworthy that throughout the entire match the Londoners did not make a single shot on goal.
The Gunners had more possession and created danger from set pieces, but overall they left a negative impression. And this is not the first time Arteta’s men have performed poorly in important matches. Will the Spanish specialist be able to return to winning ways?
In the post-match interview, Arteta promised to work on his mistakes, learn lessons and prepare as best as possible for the second leg. He highlighted that the Gunners lacked threat and aggression in the final third. This will undoubtedly be given special attention in the next match.

Bournemouth-Man City. Erling Haaland’s flame burns
The season is going very badly for Newcastle. He occupies eighth place in the English Championship standings. The difference with sixth place, Manchester United, is seven points. There is a high probability that the Magpies will not qualify for the Europa League at the end of the season.
Black and White are greatly weakened by significant personnel losses. Several top players are in hospital, including Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Nick Pope and Joelinton. Furthermore, Sandro Tonali was disqualified for a scandalous gambling story.
You won’t envy Eddie Howe. However, despite the serious shortage of reserves, the coach managed to fine-tune the game mechanisms and improve results. In the last four rounds of the Premier League, its players defeated Aston Villa (3-1) and Nottingham Forest (3-2), and also drew with Luton (4-4) and Bournemouth (2-2). .
The Magpies have a very good attacking game. In 25 matches in the English Championship they scored 53 goals. However, Nick Pope’s absence highlighted Newcastle’s lack of defensive solidity. During the same period, he conceded 41 goals. 25 of them were lost along the way.
You can bet on Arsenal to beat Eddie Howe’s men and the total will be over 2.5 goals at the bookmakers at odds of 1.85. The Magpies have only won 3 of their 12 Premier League games away from home and have also drawn two. At the same time, he suffered many defeats in other away tournaments.
The Londoners, for their part, won 9 of 12 matches in the English championship at home and also drew twice. During this time, Mikel Arteta’s team scored 30 goals and only lost 11. It seems that the Spaniard will make amends for the poor performance of his team in the match against Porto.
