Well, times have really changed and right now, I don't think Manchester United will be able to play that upper hand against Arsenal when they clash in just a few days from today, judging from their previous games in this season's EPL, even last season, Arsenal did way better than Man United, so I am personally expecting Arsenal to also do well this season as well, if possible, win the title, but this is if they will be strong enough to beat Manchester City which is their major contender, all the same, my fingers are crossed, let's see how it all plays out on the 3rd of September .

It may turn out to be a difficult game. Perhaps more difficult for Manchester United. Arsenal has greatly improved in form. Having played really well last season,, they’re great contenders for this seasons title win. I can’t exactly say that for Manchester United.
I’m hoping for a positive outcome for Manchester United but I won’t be holding my breath. Last season, Arsenal played a lot better than Man United and while this season is still very young, Arsenal has not lost any game. It’s a bit difficult to predict the outcome of the game but I think both teams may score. At the moment, Arsenal looks really promising and probably has more chances of winning the game.

Fulham 1-1 Tottenham - Fulham has knocked out Tottenham Hotspur from the carabao cup on penalties

Spurs being Spurs.. They never fail their supporters and the ones betting for them.
Fulham won without scoring in main time. Penalties were on their side and the journey prematurely ended for unlucky Tottenham.
Leeds United got also kicked by penalties (9-8) vs a team called Salford City. Chelsea will play tomorrow and expected to win. Everton victory is doubtful since they aren't that good in EPL..

Arsenal has no chances of winning Manchester United, after watching their games during the weekend, Manchester United has a good chance of winning Arsenal with high margin this weekend. Both team are building their team and the fans Will wait to see whose team is ready to challenge for the Title with Manchester city this season.

Writing Arsenal off is certainly a wrong decision to take in this game against Manchester United because Arsenal will be playing at home and we know how good Arsenal have been from last season when they play at home even against Manchester United. This weekend is another interesting weekend for football and EPL lovers, both teams will entertain us to a thrilling game this weekend. My prediction goes in favor of Arsenal to win.

I must say that the work done by Mikel Arteta up to now has been a great job and the results have been seen, a pity that last year they failed to win the Premier League by dominating it for most of the time! this year, however, they have to work on the mistakes they made last year if they don't want to repeat what they suffered last year, they started the championship very well this year but the last game despite playing with an extra man they let themselves be joined by fulham in the final minutes, these are not points to lose along the way if you want to win the championship

I don't think there is anything that is too disappointing from Arsenal because basically they don't really have the good mentality to win the Premier League title last season. The same thing may be repeated this season even though Arteta has actually proven that he is a coach who has built the best qualities from Arsenal.

I don't see Arsenal strong enough to overtake Manchester City as the Premier League dominators in terms of titles in recent seasons. Arsenal have failed in the last 19 seasons in the title race, meaning if they fail again this season then Arsenal are unable to win it for two decades in a row.

See, on a normal day, Arsenal is playing way better than Man United as long as this premier League season is concerned, but then, like I said in my previous comment, I can't not because of the matches Manchester United have lost, underrate them in their coming match against Arsenal, Arsenal is my team and I still hope for them to win, but one problem I have with Arsenal is that they tend to disappoint when fans least expect it, so in order not to be disappointed, I always prepare ahead of their games, that is, I do not set my mind on them winning so that just in case they lose, I won't be so disappointed, but then if they win,  it's always a thing of joy

Arsenal will always disappoint when you least expect it, just as they did last season when they lost the league title to Manchester City in the last moments of the season. Arsenal is the better team to win this next match versus Manchester United, but with the way they tend to disappoint, no one should put full faith in them to win. Manchester United is also not performing poorly, therefore I predict a difficult encounter for Arsenal, even if they win in the end because they will be playing at home this week. Manchester United will be hoping to win this game as well, since they have struggled to maintain a balance since the season began.

There were several reasons why Arsenal did not win the title last season. Several players in the team faced injuries. This is the reason for their sudden decline in performance. This was the main reason for Arsenal's lack of consistency in performance. However, Arsenal's performance this season is quite good. And against Manchester United, Arsenal will be favorites to win. However, Manchester United's squad is very strong. And it is very difficult to predict their performance. Even so, I would consider Arsenal as favourites. Arsenal are more likely to win if Manchester United's players put in a great performance.

But unfortunately, this season Liverpool will only play in the Europa League because Liverpool failed to finish in the top four last season. But even so, it certainly doesn't matter, because the Europa League is also still a big competition that will also be targeted for Liverpool to win the title there.

Don't play in Champions League will be less pressure for Liverpool but Europa League will be more easily and less pressure with them but definitely it won't be pressure-free. I am sure Liverpool will want to go as far as possible in Europa League and if they see opportunity to win it, they will do their best. It will require them to actually focus on Europa League if they go deep in knock out phase and it will impact their play resource, fitness and concentration for Premier League.

Yes, Liverpool will be aiming to win the Europa League this season, winning it this season will be a good thing to put away disappointment of last season. Liverpool have a good opportunity to win the title this season since there are not much tough opponents competing in the Europa league that can match Liverpool’s strength except Klopp decides the Europa league will not be a do or die affair for them this season.

Yes, Liverpool is indeed one of the candidates for winning the European League this season. But it won't guarantee 100%. Because after all, the European League sometimes gives unexpected surprises. Not only that, several big clubs from other leagues are also in European this league. Maybe there will be some pretty tough competitors like Atalanta, AS Roma, Villarreal, Bayer Leverkusen and several other clubs. Even though in terms of experience, Liverpool should have its own advantages.

Al-Ittihad is still trying to hire Salah from Liverpool and this player hasn't said anything yet but there is interest from the Saudis, in the other hand, Liverpool said they don't want to sell Salah to the Saudis but the Saudi team is still trying to put this player under pressure and they say Al-Ittihad is trying to hire Salah by promising his huge amount of money.

Luton town seems to have lost motivation in this match and from the look of things,  their chances of equalization or scoring goals scores in the match is seem and may not come in the first half.

Chelsea weren't in complete control of the game until the Luton town boy let Chelsea dominate the game. They had their chances to equalize the game in the first half but didn't take them. The game ended 1:0 in the first half and Chelsea didn't or couldn't score until the 68th minutes which was plenty of time for Luton town to get an equalizer and it would have shifted the momentum from Chelsea to them but they let Chelsea have the momentum when they conceded the second goal then there was nothing left again in the game and Chelsea took all full control to dominate the game. They let Chelsea in on an easy win and that's all on them but kudos to Chelsea for seizing the opportunity when the saw one and didn't misused it.

Chelsea's journey is still very long, I think Pochettino must immediately find the right format to raise the competitiveness of the game because if performances are like now and there are no major changes then the Blues will find it difficult to face other strong teams. For today's result I congratulate Chelsea.

I thought I wasn't the only one not that impressedin the Chelsea win against Luton town, it's just Luton town so we're supposed to win and it's not surprising to what Chelsea should be capable of doing with or without a coach so I'm not impressed. Luton town are a newly promoted side and we shouldn't be using them to judge the boys improvement but I'm not going to lie that it felt good seeing the boys win then to lose because it would had been hilarious if the boys would have lost this one. Sterling was feeling like prime Messi but we know he can't do that against a more serious defense in the premier league like against Manchester city or Liverpool. He has to keep on playing like this and maybe Chelsea game will improve.

Liverpool have a good opportunity to win the title this season since there are not much tough opponents competing in the Europa league that can match Liverpool’s strength except Klopp decides the Europa league will not be a do or die affair for them this season.

I don't think they care about Europa League much. As long as they don't play in Champions League, other European tournaments are far behind Premier League. Their aim should always be Premier League title. I know that's very hard for them but they should aim that rather than settling for less.
Manchester City and Arsenal were way better than Liverpool last year. This season they started better though. Klopp should find new ways to win games, without Salah. Maybe this will be Nunez's year. We will see.

Al-Ittihad is still trying to hire Salah from Liverpool and this player hasn't said anything yet but there is interest from the Saudis, in the other hand, Liverpool said they don't want to sell Salah to the Saudis but the Saudi team is still trying to put this player under pressure and they say Al-Ittihad is trying to hire Salah by promising his huge amount of money.

Ittihad has not given up yet to recruit salah. Many rumor about him to leave from the club were starting to appear again. I believe the rumor will end after end the transfer window for European competition. But, I'm concerned that Saudi can still buy European players due to the saudi transfer season will not be closed. There is still a chance for salah to leave from liverpool. Fans are feeling so mad caused by this rumor. They were massively saying no for selling salah to the saudi club caused by liverpool can only rely upon him now. Let's wait further confirmation regarding his transfer to the saudi pro league club. I thought that if this will be gonna one of most important transfer that shall never happen to liverpool.
Liverpool fans are starting to feel panic again after they have heard this news was just spreading again.

[Leviathan.007]

Jamie Carragher the famous former player of Liverpool who recently sent many comments about this team said, that Liverpool can even race with Manchester City and they can be at the same level if Liverpool hires a midfielder and a defender for this season. They had a great start in this season and they should use this chance.

[JoyMarsha]

Al-Ittihad is still trying to hire Salah from Liverpool and this player hasn't said anything yet but there is interest from the Saudis, in the other hand, Liverpool said they don't want to sell Salah to the Saudis but the Saudi team is still trying to put this player under pressure and they say Al-Ittihad is trying to hire Salah by promising his huge amount of money.

The price Al-Ittihad Club brought before Salah to sign a three-year deal with them is a mind-blowing contract, for which he will be paid 65 million euros annually as salary compared with the amount he is receiving from Liverpool with the pay of 18,200,000 euros annually.
In a situation that we later find Salah keeps staying in Liverpool as their key player, would be because of the love he has for the club and its fans. If not, this is a good opportunity to move to a new league and club that will be paying him huge money per annum. However, as it is, no one knows what's in his mind until the transfer window is closed(whether he is leaving Liverpool for Al-Ittihad because of the pay)

Liverpool is a good team and can perform well in the Europa league but I have noticed before now that big team's that are known to be champions league team don't always show much interest in the Europa league. If Liverpool really want to get the Europa league championship they can achieve it but it is too hard to tell how determined they really need the Europa league. Team's like sevilla and other well known Europa league team tend to do better than big team's in Europa league,  this happens because big team's don't see Europa league as competitive and they don't take it serious.

Nobody likes to see Harry Maguire in Mancshter United anymore and Manchester United doesn't want to give this player on loan but they want to sell him and earn some money from transferring this player to the other teams because Manchester United wants to hire other players like Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina with the money they get.

Harry Maguire is quite a talented player. However he often makes big mistakes between matches, and Harry Maguire's errors have cost Manchester United several matches. Defenders have to play very carefully, but Harry Maguire is not careful. Yes it is true that he was talented, but you know he failed to develop the talent properly.

Harry Maguire was not experienced enough at 30 years old. Actually Manchester United are no longer interested in keeping Harry Maguire in their starting XI. Even if Manchester United wanted to sell him, I don't think any big club would be interested in buying Harry Maguire at a high price. I think Harry Maguire will leave Manchester United as a free agent.

Harry Maguire is not totally bad and has his talent as well as weakness that must be covered by his team mates and a team tactical operation. He can play well if he is put into a system that can support him, cover his weakness and help him to show off his best strength.

In Manchester United, he does not have it and he also carries very big pressure because of his high transfer fee from Leicester City to Manchester United. His performance for England is difference than what he shown in Manchester United. However he is not a top-notch central defender and far lower quality than legendary central defenders years ago in Premier League like John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campell.

Manchester United are no longer interested in keeping Harry Maguire in their starting XI. Even if Manchester United wanted to sell him, I don't think any big club would be interested in buying Harry Maguire at a high price. I think Harry Maguire will leave Manchester United as a free agent.

They no longer want to use Maguire but they also are facing with difficult to sell him. They don't want to release Maguire as a free player but actually want to get as high money back as possible that is impossible with all recent performances from Maguire. No big club want to spend big transfer fee to get Maguire.

Arsenal played in front of their supporters who should be more motivated to perform as well as possible and not disappoint. I know there were some doubts about them after the draw against Fulham but chances are Arsenal will win the game if the opposing team doesn't shut themselves out of the game.

Fulham had no bigger plans against Arsenal other than defending and counter-attacking. But Fulham's two goals were Arsenal's defensive mistakes that failed, but Arsenal's overall game play was really good. I'm sure the match against Manchester United will benefit Arsenal, so I won't underestimate Arsenal there this weekend.

But I don’t really doubt Arsenal's match against Fulham in that game because I think Arsenal are already doing well in the season, and you can see that Arsenal have more chances of winning than Fulham in that game, and that's why I did not think of disappointment at the end. However, every club needs to be motivated when playing, and that is why whenever they are at home, they get that motivation and do more than when they are away.

I also think the same thing: the goals that Fulham scored were because Arsenal made the mistake of having a weak defence. If not, I believe Fulham did not have any plan for scoring against Arsenal. All I think they will have in mind is that their squad should hold their home well so that even if Arsenal do, it won’t be too much, and the pressure shouldn’t be too much.

We all may feel optimistic about the strength that Liverpool has in the Europa League. But you are right that in every league, sometimes the final result is always unexpected. Even in the Champions League last season, we saw that many of the superior teams lost more quickly. So football has always been the most interesting sport. Because the results of a match and a league sometimes always surprise us all.

I personally feel that Liverpool will remain focused and prioritize the Premier League. But Liverpool will definitely fight to the max in the Europa League. I think it's time for Liverpool to win another title in one of the competitions.
