in the FA Cup Arsenal must appear strong in their meeting with Man City. Of course, they won't win easily. because Man City has a more frightening attack line than MU.
Arsenal played great soccer against Manchester United, If they can play the same way against Manchester City, they can also win because Manchester City although they have a great attacking line, do not have a perfect defensive line and their goalkeeper makes a lot mistakes under pressure. For any of the teams that win in this game in the FA, it will give them an idea how exactly to play in the EPL when both teams meet. The two coaches of the teams ARTETA and PEP GUARDIOLA are both good coaches, so the game in FA cup will be the first place to try out a strategy before the EPL. Arsenal played well against Manchester United because of two things. 1. Because Casemiro wasn't available, if not he would have dominated the midfield. 2. Ten Hag introduced Fred to defend instead of introducing Garnacho and Elanga to push more attacks. This is Manchester City cannot do, so don't easily expect Arsenal to beat City |

It's not worthy to sign him for united at this moment where the team was always aiming to get young talented players. Reus is too old. He care retire anytime.
Manchester United need to be very selective on the player that they decide to sign because they can no longer make player additions to the team that will later be disappointing or disappointing on start. Anthony is proving that the money spent on him is too much and the other new loan Dutch striker looks like another waste. Manchester United should make a move for a renowned and quick striker to compliment the pace of Rashford, that is what they need, not someone as slow as Wout Weghorst in this very competitive premier league. I don't even know the brain behind the signing of Weghort and how it will favour United. I don't trust Ten's decision in that. Ghorst is old and slow and he was practically missing throughout the match against Arsenal. Could it be that he was defending or what really happened. Was it because of him that United lost out on Gakpo and not interested in Osimhen? |

 Meanwhile, the 2 giants of Spanish football managed to secure 3 points which made the competition for the La Liga title this season so fierce. First there is Real Madrid who managed to win with a score of 0-2 over host Bilbao. The game was so intense that there were lots of violations and yellow cards for several players in this match made the match even hotter. Toni Kroos entered, who replaced Dani Ceballos in the 85th minute and scored the second winning goal with a beautiful shot outside the box and locked victory for Real Madrid in this match. The second is Barcelona who managed to beat Getafe with a narrow score of 1-0. Being the host certainly makes the Blaugrana players even more enthusiastic. On the other hand, they must win this match if they want to stay away from Real Madrid's pursuit on the standings. The only goal was scored by Pedri in the 35th minute and at the same time closed this match until the final minute. The worse thing that could happen to Real Madrid is if they drop a point in the Laliga when Barcelona hasn't dropped a point. The league is cool, competitive and interesting as it is now. If there is any to drop points between Barcelona and Real Madrid, it should be Barca to make the league more interesting. When we will know their standings is by next month when European competitions resume. |

Manchester City have a better squad and they are one of the most successful team in the Champions league, Manchester City have been struggling to win the Champions league but I'm not still sure if they can get it this season. The Champions league in this season is very competitive with other strong teams.
Currently seeing the performance of the Manchester City team looking to be getting better and superior, and most of the fact that Manchester City is the most successful club in the Champions League at the moment makes them believe that Manchester City will become champions this season, we are a little doubtful about this. Meanwhile this is a very competitive Champions League and there are a lot of bigger and stronger clubs who have quite good material here. like Real Madrid and also Bayern Munich, we see that their achievements are bigger than Manchester City, apart from that, several clubs here still look very consistent in the Champions League. Even though Manchester City have a good team squad, we doubt they can achieve it this season, considering there are clubs who have performed more consistently than them. What is the measure of success according to you? By often playing in the Champions League? or by becoming a champion? I can't say they are one of the most successful teams in this Champions League because they are still fighting for trophies here. I don't doubt they have a very promising squad, but they have to prove that by achieving achievements here. Because in the Champions League, having a very good squad is not the only measure they will win the title. Manchester city is in no way a successful team as far as the champion league is consent. Manchester city as always qualified for the champion league and also partakes in it every year but has never for once been a champion. We have many other clubs like Leipzig, Ajax and many others who have partaken in the champion league for years now but still can't win, not even for once. It is wrong to say that this club is successful in the champion league just because of a mare qualification for the tournament. |

Note, there is a particular manager who will come in to handle Chelsea players in there right now and you will be shocked to see how good this players will be playing It’s not all about signing new players, if you ask me I will suggest taking Thomas Tuchel back because he has proven himself to be one of the best coaches that have coached Chelsea in recent seasons. I'm saying so because Tuchel understood the team, the league and his tactics proved to be productive. I still think he is a good candidate for the managerial job for Chelsea. Chelsea is not a club owned by a community or group of persons. Chelsea is a personal business and as such can always take a decisions at anytime. It wouldn't have been so easy to sack Tuchel after such effort and sacrifice he paid just to see Chelsea in the level it was. Abramovich impatient management couldn't give Tuchel the slightest chance to make adjustment and chose a better strategy that suits the season. I quest right now it's too late to seek the return of Thomas tuchel, let's just pray Porter turn things round. |

Yeah , you are right. Seeking for a draw after a very nice performance is the actual reason why they lose the match. Manchester City and Arsenal are always deathly at seeing any surrendering signs by their opponent and that was what happened against Manchester united today. If only Ten hag boys were able to force more attack and maintain stable play like they did in the first half, I don't think it will end that way. It was quite a deserving win for the gunners.

Finally Dortmund won the match although we call it a dramatic win somehow the two teams scored 3 goals in 3 minutes 75' 76' and 78'
This season Dortmund played badly and lost 6 times out of 16 matches it was clear that Haaland move had an impact on their goal activity
As we know Haaland is the main goal machine for Dortmund and now they don't have a substitute.
Though they win , I'm not surprised to see them struggle like that against a club like Augsburg. 4 goals in first half shows that the both team suffered unstable defense syndrome. For now, the only arm that is working well for Borussia Dortmund is the attack, and I wonder what they would have done assuming Jude Bellingham's goal wasn't added. Let's see how they will cope if they succeed in selling out Jude Bellingam as they planned. |

In the first half, Osasuna was one goal ahead of host Elche. The match was normal, nothing special, I even saw that in this match the two clubs played with all their hearts. Not many opportunities were created, they only played in the midfield area with Osasuna having more of the ball. In the second half, it looks like Osasuna should be braver to attack because Elche doesn't look like it will harm their defense in the first half. Unless Osasuna wants to play it safe, they will be more careful because they already have a 1 goal advantage. I don't see the potential in Elche's game, it looks like they will lose again.
Osasuna leads by 1 goal. Osasuna's players are playing well, and Osasuna is controlling most of the game. Hopefully, Osasuna will be able to score more goals. From the 57th minute, I had the feeling that the match may likely end in a draw cuz it became difficult for Osasuna as Etche discovered new chances in the midfield after the substitution of Pablo Ibanez for Jon Moncayola. It would have been a good opportunity for Osasuna to take over the 6th position from real Betis but It didn't happen as they were unable to create much space and execute an attack. So bad for Elche that a draw or even a win against Osasuna wouldn't take them anywhere. |

It was a hard time for Leeds United. Despite all the ball-winning, possessions, and attempts, they still couldn't register a goal in both halves of the Match. Brentford on the other hand was so poor in their attack, it was an opportunity for them to overthrow Brighton or Fulham from the 6th or 7th position in the standing, but they were unable to make a single on-target attempt all through the first and second half. I'm very more furious that the draw didn't end with a Goal-Goal, at least it would have favored my bet slip.

Today match between Manchester United vs Asernal is going to be a big deciding game for both clubs, because since this season startrd both clubs have been on a consistent in tgeir performance and if all things being equal Asernal that happens to lead the premiere league table with the highest points will win the match.
The odds according to the bookmakers predict Arsenal to win, 1.88 against 4 .05 is an attractive odd to place a bet. But Is a big risk to bet on Arsenal to win in today's match. Arsenal is just 2 points ahead of Manchester City while Manchester United shares the same point with Newcastle who is currently in the 3rd position of the EPL standing, for that I think a win today is very important to both Manchester United and Arsenal and as such the match will be quite difficult. |

I think real Madrid needs Harry Kane, but I'm still contemplating what will be his decision seeing that two great sides want him. Manchester United are also in pursuit to bring him to Old Trafford even after a report had already revealed their mission for Enzo Fernandez. If I were to decide on Harry Kane, I will join real Madrid, the reason being that he will have an easy way to winning many European trophies.
Don't Harry Kane might consider an offer from Real Madrid, so far Harry Kane has liked Real Madrid, while for Manchester United I'm sure it will only be the second choice, Real Madrid will get a new player like Harry Kane and will give a big surprise in the line of attack that might can bring Real Madrid to always win in every match when Harry Kane participates on the field. In as much as I'll want Kane to join Madrid to win trophies, there is one thing with English players, they like playing I'm English clubs and like revolving around. We should not be surprised if Kane will chose Manchester United over Madrid in his transfer bit. Especially now that United is showing signs of contending for trophies |

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United Full time Newcastle United tried all their best to make sure that they won the game but Crystal Palace was not a team to just shy away so the both side struggle ended in draw. Newcastle United played well compared to Crystal Palace, but the defense and the midfielders were the problem for Newcastle United, and Newcastle United was having the chances to score but the goalkeeper of Crystal Palace was good. I was expecting Newcastle to defeat Crystal Palace because of their good result in previous game but to my surprise it ended in draws, I think Crystal Palace is lucky because Newcastle is tougher but they couldn't win the game. After their precious point in the last round against Manchester united, crystal palace surely aimed to win this match to or get 1 point in the worst case and they forced Newcastle to a draw, crystal palace is away enough for the relegation zone but they still need to improve more in the next matches to insure they will not back to the relegation zone again I don't what Crystal palace is upto. Honestly if this was how they started the league competition, they should be contending for top 4 or still be at the stage of Brighton and Co. I am surprised how palace drew with Manchester United and consecutively had to draw against Newcastle. They have really improved |

Manchester United are interested in bringing Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane, 29, to Old Trafford this summer. What do Tottenham and their very stingy manager think about it?
To be honest I don't think Manchester United would have much chance to sign Harry Kane in case of Real Madrid's joining the race to sign him. Because Real Madrid are in a much more favourable position for Kane if he doesn't make leaving England a problem. It is up to that actually. I wonder if Kane is okay to leave the country as well if he wants to leave Tottenham. If his answer is yes then Real Madrid and maybe Bayern Munich also would be his best options. Otherwise Manchester United can have the upper hand on these teams and bring him to the team. I don't know if Levy can keep Kane anymore if Tottenham have another bad season without titles. First, Manchester United can lure him with money, besides at the moment the Red Devils are doing quite well in the league. Secondly, if he does go to Real Madrid or Bayern, what will he be there? In Spain there is a high probability of getting lost among other high-quality players and then it will be a bad transition for Kane, which he will soon start regretting I think real Madrid needs Harry Kane, but I'm still contemplating what will be his decision seeing that two great sides want him. Manchester United are also in pursuit to bring him to Old Trafford even after a report had already revealed their mission for Enzo Fernandez. If I were to decide on Harry Kane, I will join real Madrid, the reason being that he will have an easy way to winning many European trophies. |

Congratulations to Sevilla tonight as the titely defended their ealy goals till the end of the match making the walk away with 3 goals against credit today, but in their coming game, Sevilla must put up good attacking skills because if you watched the match you will discover that Sevilla has several chances to have scored more goals than. what did tonight?
I wasn't surprised to see the scoreboard the way it is at the end of the match because right from the start Sevilla showed much more winning passion than Cadiz. The game became much more fierce in the second half with about 7 shorts on target from servile Cadiz was completely defensive at this point and this led to them conceding a late-minute goal. But Cadiz as well wasn't an easy side to deal with. |

we all know that Dortmund prioritize selling players over winning titles, although they have come far in the champions league they are undoubtedly more interested in selling their best players so chelsea will be playing Dortmund without their good players, I don't even know to what extent dortmund already sold players this january but i'm guessing they sold their best players
Despite Dortmund selling their best players, their performances are still quite good. However, they are not consistently performing well. But Dortmund's players have the ability to beat a big team like Chelsea. Moreover, Chelsea is perhaps a renowned team. But this season their performance is not stable. The Chelsea team is now in the 10th place in the Premier League points table. And so it would be foolish to think that Chelsea can easily win against Dortmund. It will be challenging for Chelsea to win this match as well. Very interesting to see Chelsea performance because they were very active in this transfer window and apparently Potter want to rebuild Chelsea and if we see Chelsea current squad they have very complete players on every positions but lets see whether those new players will adapt quickly with Potter strategy or not but their new player Joao Felix has worst debut that on premier league he got red card which caused he will be punished suspension however seems Chelsea has promising squad and lets see in the next few matches whether they can improve their performance using new players or not but if Chelsea performance getting better I think beat Dortmund isn't hard for them Madueke, Joao Felix, Fofana, and Mudryk, are the latest players that have joined Chelsea, if u check those players non of them is a midfielder for that one shouldn't say that Chelsea has very complete players in every position. Chelsea still has a big problem and that is the midfield. If you make a careful analysis from the past matches, u will discover that their mistake all came from the midfield. I am so surprised that they have little taste in fixing it. |

When comparing the two coaches, the name Erik ten hag is still above Xavi when it comes to his contribution to the club. Erik ten hag was successful with Ajax, that's why the red devils brought him to Old Trafford to train Manchester United now, while Xavi might have helped him with his contribution as a Barcelona legend which allowed him to now train Barcelona's main club. It will take time for Xavi to be compared to a coach as great as Erik ten Hag and I think Xavi can achieve that in a few seasons.
Now it's not the right time to compare because Xavi hasn't coached Barcelona for too long, even though Xavi will be great if he can lead Barcelona to win two different competitions this season. But apart from all that, I just want to see them compete really well in the Europa League because lately the two teams have started to improve the way they play in their respective domestic leagues in order to be better this season, including for the Europa League competition. I agree that Erik Ten Hag is now better than Xavi Hernandez, he is also a coach who has more experience compared to the Barcelona coach now. We will see how they prove on the field, because this is their first meeting because as far as I can remember these two people have never met before as coaches. Manchester United vs Barcelona is one of the big matches that will be played early. Ten hag wasn't in a tough league, and secondly he was in the toughest club ruling a weak league for that he had better advantages. I will support it if u said Ten Hag is more experienced than Xavi but saying that he is a better coach than Xavi I will say u judge based on the current performance. Becaquse the same reason should make u rate him above Artetta but because Arteta is doing well, u wouldn't say Ten hag is better than him. |

Regardless of anything, Ronaldo's presence there has had an extraordinary effect, coupled with the arrival of PSG there with a full team and clearly playing this will make them even more elevated. The closeness of the Arab club owners to several big clubs could have brought more things there and it is not impossible that there are other clubs owned by other Middle Eastern Sheikhs such as Manchester City or Newcastle will follow in this footsteps because apart from anything other than promoting their own club as well to raise the league in his country.
PSG could be the first but on the other hand, there will be a few more to follow and I'm pretty sure about that.
I think that the presence of Ronaldo was the only factor that attracted attention to this game. Otherwise, who would even care about a PSG friendly against an unknown (in Europe) club? It can be said that Ronaldo successfully worked out a significant part of his huge salary by playing in this game  Ronaldo was a special figure but it doesn't mean that there can't be a friendly match of that kind or don't make it look like it's taboo to fix a friendly match between the Arabic side club and a European club. It was a good avenue for promoting the Arab League and also advertising Ronaldo's new home career. The Arab league will soon also be rated special and would have been since long ago if not for the home player per team rules. |

Let's see what Freiburg will do today and whether they can win the match  This match will also be an interesting match, all possibilities can happen here, but if we talk about predictions, I predict that this match will end in a draw. What do you think? Is Freiburg able to continue their good trend? or their good trend will stop at this match? because they'll play with one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga. Freiburg is playing very well this season. But Wolfsburg's performance in the last few matches has been outstanding. They have won 4 of the last 5 matches and one match has been drawn. Both teams are in good form now. So it is difficult to predict the outcome of this match. However, in the match between these two teams, Freiburg is ahead. Out of 5 matches, Freiburg managed to win 2 matches, 2 matches were drawn and Wolfburg won one. I think both teams will share the points in this match. Wolfsburg Freiburg, and Leipzig are the three clubs that has shown drastic improvement lately. Though Freiburg has been performing so well since the beginning of this season but I still believe that Bayern Munich stands unopposed because seeing the goal rate in the match between Wolfsburg and Freiburg makes me feel Freiburg title hunting force is reducing and I feel they now have a fight with Frankfurt and Berlin only. |

A very fair result for Liverpool and Chelsea in their game. The reason is that the two teams have the same erratic appearance, also the two teams in this match are both very difficult to create an opportunity. They are still level on points now, with Liverpool ahead by a game in hand. They haven't shown a change, so to talk about them going into the top 4 in my opinion now is not the right time, because they have to improve their game first.
It's better to cast mind away from thinking that either Chelsea nor Liverpool will be able to find their way into top four this season, there's nothing to show that there is an improving on the way. Imagine the form of Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester United and Manchester City as teams that are currently on the top four position on the table, do they look like teams that would be losing form anytime soon? I don't think so! The only room for succour to Chelsea and Liverpool this season is the Europa league hopefully, cause the UCL is a no-way route as it stands. My personal opinion though! They both were very poor in their performance, I know and will continue to say that if any of the sides Liverpool or Chelsea were playing against Newcastle or Brighton in today's match, they wouldn't see the closest thing like a draw cuz that's the most unserious performance I have seen from both side. I am just being a bit considerate base on the fact that they both still have more than 17 matches to play, aside from that I don't see them in the top 4 this season. |

In this match, Liverpool as the host must have more chances to win this match. But it seems that 17 minutes have passed. But Chelsea still dominated the game. However, Chelsea still struggled to penetrate Liverpool's defense. whereas some of Liverpool's attacks looked better. because the attacks always go fast. so Chelsea's defense had a little trouble.
It is unusual to watch a match between teams like Liverpool and Chelsea and understand that this is a match between teams that occupy 8th and 10th places. Chelsea managed to end their losing streak last matchday with a victory over Crystal Palace, while Liverpool is still going through tough times. And Chelsea looks better so far, they even managed to score, but Havertz was offside. I hadn't thought about it before, but if things continue like this for Liverpool, can Klopp lose his place as a manager in the team? I was expecting a better performance from Liverpool but the reverse is what I have seen. Playing a whole 45 minutes with just 1 shot on target. Both sides displayed a very sluggish performance though it was worst on the Chelsea side. I was so surprised to see Hall in the midfield and cucurella in the front flank. I don't know if they will be any difference in Chelsea's play pattern if the injured players return, because the way I'm seeing it porter is unable to rotate the available ones. |
