The team currently has the best goal difference (that is, between the goals scored and the goals allowed) which has helped them to be the first; ahead of Liverpool and Manchester United in the standings.
Tuchel’s players have achieved success in their last two matches. They won their match against Zenit St. Petersburg (1-0) in a group stage fixture of the Champions League and had a confident 3-0 victory against Tottenham in the English Premier League Championship.
Manchester City
The champion of England is trying to catch up with the group of leaders. Unfortunately, the mistakes made by the team have prevented them from rising above 5th position in the standings today. Pep Guardiola’s team has 10 points.
It seemed that after a confident 6-3 victory over RB Leipzig in a group stage match in the Champions League, the citizens were going to have no problems in the match against Southampton. But unfortunately, the Manchester City vs Southampton match ended in a 0-0 draw.
