There is little chance for Chelsea or Aston Villa to win the title because Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool are the biggest favorite teams until the tight competition from these three teams that have a big chance to win the title. With Chelsea in the top four, I think it is quite a good achievement because with their own performance improvement that can make them in a ranking that is at least quite profitable. Liverpool is the team that leads the standings and of course this is quite difficult for Arsenal and Man City to win the title, they have new rivals in fighting for the title because indeed with the previous season where Liverpool was quite far behind but now they are performing well to become the team that conceded the fewest goals. There is a chance for Liverpool to win the league title as long as they can maintain their performance well in terms of defense and attack.

Chelsea and Aston Villa are battling to stay in the top four of the table. Both these teams want to qualify for the Champions League. And Chelsea and Aston Villa are moving towards this goal. Last season we saw a very poor performance from Chelsea. However, the team won consistently in the last few matches of the season. So Chelsea was able to occupy the sixth place in the table until the end. And Chelsea's aim this season is to qualify for the Champions League.

All three teams are sure to fight for the title. Even in the last few seasons we have seen all three teams doing well in the Premier League. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all have strong squads. So this season the fight for the Premier League title will be more crowded.

Chelsea and Aston Villa has similar points on the table and I can't even differentiate their performance but I think Aston Villa are sneaky team that make way even when things are difficult for them. They just humiliated Bayern Munich in the Champions League and draw almighty Manchester United in their last game and as for Chelsea, they are busy making more goals than what they have concede, only their next matches is going to determine who is going to last at the top.

By features arrangements, Aston Villa might have a way to stay above Chelsea because I'm not sure how Chelsea are going to win Liverpool that is fighting to stay ontop of the table, any small mistake from this play will not only drag them from there, they have to come down to stay with Aston Villa hopefully Villa don't win their next matches again but sometimes, things don't go as expected, minor teams don't finish from surprises.

The team management continues to support Ten Hag, believing that he can turn things around for the club. The management had a good relationship with Ten Hag because of the trophies he had won in the previous two seasons; they did not want to fire him because he had won a trophy that other managers failed to win. However, this is not the first season that Manchester United has had a low point at the start of the season, the club had 9 points in seven games the previous two seasons and the management did not fire him, so this season, as Manchester United has 8 points in seven games, I do not think the management will fire him because they believe they still need more games to improve their performance.

As expected Erik Ten Hag really got full support from United top brass despite showing bad results. Regardless of the 2 trophies he gave, in the end Man United position in the standings still proves that they are going through a difficult season. I think it's quite clear that if he is to be retained then all United fans should be patient for quite a long time, maybe 2 to 3 more seasons to see Man United in the ranks of the strongest clubs again. With the decision to support Ten Hag, if at the end of the season the club is in the lower ranks, we will not blame coach Ten Hag anymore but we will corner all this setback due to Man United top brass themselves who do not want to make a firm decision.

Man.United is getting lower and lower nad lower, this team is really doing very badly, we need to remedy this mess.. for me need to sake the coach

Manchester United remaining 5 points left from the relegation teams standings and its first time in the history having 8 points of 7 matches in Premier League, but the management seems very comfortable with current standings of Manchester United because not have reminder the manager sack from his position although loss 5 of 7 matches. Erik ten Hag have enough time get recovery his teams return to winning trend perform due two weeks international break out.

Upcoming match, Manchester United will face not really strong team Brentford and opportunity to secure three points in front of their fans or bad possibilities for Erik ten Hag sack from his position. Unbelievable with Manchester United management really trust to Erik ten Hag although their team on bad trend performance and left few points only from relegation standings position.

Manchester United current position at 14th place with collect 8 points from 7 matches and they have been through an 5 latest matches in all competitions without the winning results so Manchester United has serious problem and indeed last week they had just gets draw result from Aston Villa but i don't think this result is impressive and on the paper indeed Brentford quality is below to them but Brentford latest performance is slightly better compared to Manchester United this because Brentford is still unbeated in the last 2 matches and Brentford also last week can able to win with big scores from Wolves

This match is 4th home matches for Manchester United and this season Manchester United home records for Premier League matches is very poor because from 3 latest matches Manchester United only get 1 win even from their latest match at home Manchester United have to lost from Tottenham with the final scores 3-0

I haven't checked the odds yet for this match but although Manchester United has poor performance but i assume they are the favourite and Brentford as underdog team and actually if Manchester United in the good shape beating Brentford is not hard task for them but the most problem is Manchester United has a problem with their consistency and this makes me doubt they can win and for betting option i think both teams to scores is good for this match

With the decision to support Ten Hag, if at the end of the season the club is in the lower ranks, we will not blame coach Ten Hag anymore but we will corner all this setback due to Man United top brass themselves who do not want to make a firm decision.

Perhaps Manchester United's top brass are waiting for the right time to make a decision, hoping that something positive will happen in the next few weeks. Although Ten Hag seems to still be trusted by the club's management to continue coaching the team, it does not mean that his position will continue to be safe, the club has started looking for solutions to the team's declining performance at the start of this season, Thomas Tuchel is included in the target of Manchester United's top brass to replace Erik Ten Hag. This season has been a nightmare for Manchester United, spending more than £200 million seems to have been wasted due to the team's increasingly difficult performance in winning.

It was surprising to me how Chelsea were able to show the same results as Aston Villa and even managed to finish above them due to a better goal difference. Aston Villa lost a little ground due to the last two matches, when they first failed to beat Ipswich, and then lost points in a draw with Manchester United, and thus allowed the leaders to get away, now the advantage of Liverpool is 4 points, this is more than the distance of one victory, it looks like in the end for Aston Villa it will all come down to the fight for the top 4.

It looks like Chelsea and Aston Villa will compete to be able to finish in the top four because at least, until this moment Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are still predicted to be able to stay in the top three until the end of the season. Although indeed, sometimes one of them also still has a chance to fail to be consistent in the top three and thus, it will be a good target for Chelsea and Aston Villa to also be consistent in that position. Because if Chelsea and Aston Villa manage to be consistent in the fourth and fifth positions, then their points will also not be too wide with the three teams above them and thus, they also have a chance to be in a better position.

About the upcoming match between Liverpool v Chelsea, basically this remains a big match and there is also no guarantee for Liverpool to win despite playing at home. But, if for example Liverpool still win and Chelsea lose, but of course there are still many opportunities in the next matches throughout this season that still provide a chance for Chelsea to stay in the top five. Interesting of course, because Enzo Maresca managed to improve the performance and quality of Chelsea, unlike last season when Chelsea was still with Pochettino who was only struggling in the middle of the standings.

[Litzki1990]

As I watched the Manchester United vs Aston Villa match yesterday, I felt like Manchester United were playing a random game. Manchester United failed to make the correct pass and another player failed to receive the ball despite the correct pass. However, I was able to see some attacks from Manchester United against Aston Villa which were brilliantly saved by the opposing goalkeeper Martínez. Not only did "Martínez" praise the goalkeeper, but this player won the World Cup with his own single effort, on the contrary, the Argentinian goalkeeper saved Aston Villa brilliantly in every match at the club level. If there was another goalkeeper in place of this goalkeeper, maybe Manchester United would have been able to score and win this match.

Not only yesterday's match but throughout this season Manchester United is playing random football. They lose themselves and try to find again and again but it is not possible anymore. Before yesterday's match, many of us predicted that Manchester United will be more likely to win because Manchester United have won more in the last five meetings. Yesterday's match proved that it is not possible to win based on past performance if current performance is not correct and successful.

I was absolutely amazed yesterday when Emiliano Martínez received a ball and he floated his body into the air and blocked the ball like a bird, That might have been one of the most important moments of the match because if he hadn't blocked the ball properly it might have been goal. By drawing yesterday's match, Aston Villa snapped a five-game losing streak at the hands of Manchester United.

Manchester United have lost themselves ever since Ten Hag took over. I can't think of any match so far in which Manchester United have performed very well and I will applaud the manager for performing well. Manchester United might have been in a better position if another manager had taken over. If one of the most discontinuous teams is discussed among the big teams in the English Premier League, the name of Manchester United will come first.  

After the end of last season, there were rumors that Manchester United might change their manager and appoint a new manager but such rumors did not come true. But if this rumor is true, it would be good for Manchester United. We understand this from a distance from the team, but Manchester United management does not understand this from this close.

[Lida93]

Guys, have you got Manchester United at standings?
We've heard quite a few negative comments about Ten Hag's performance so far, so how confident are you about the possibility of his contract being maintained until the end of the season?

If Manchester United's performance doesn't improve in the next game, I don't think he will spend the first half of the season as coach. Dismissals may need to be taken and management must be firm, it will help the team not collapse.

The team management continues to support Ten Hag, believing that he can turn things around for the club. The management had a good relationship with Ten Hag because of the trophies he had won in the previous two seasons; they did not want to fire him because he had won a trophy that other managers failed to win. However, this is not the first season that Manchester United has had a low point at the start of the season, the club had 9 points in seven games the previous two seasons and the management did not fire him, so this season, as Manchester United has 8 points in seven games, I do not think the management will fire him because they believe they still need more games to improve their performance.

I still do not see the reasons behind this firm support from the management of the club for Erik Ten Hag because as far as am concerned there is no moral justification for allowing the coach continue, at least not after such a poor form that the club has been struggling with since late last season up to this moment and something ought to be done urgently or else the club may soon be faced with relegation threats if nothing is done. The club seem to be taking a nosedive and all that the management could do is to express their support for a non performing coach, I think they ought to do more than that. The club had participated vigorously in the transfer market before the start of the season and at such one would expect things to go in the right direction but the reverse is the case. I think it's time the coach sits up and start getting good results or he should be shown the way out.

7 matches and 8 points, Manchester United have these things and they are like a weak team now. It's very noticeable of three clubs which used to be strong, Manchester United, Leicester City and Everton are closely with each other at low ranks. Leicester City and Everton have risk of falling to relegation zone and their main targets in this season will be a position to stay in Premier League next season. Manchester United with their resources will not fall to relegation zone but it's hard for them to climb to higher ranks like top four or six of Premier League.

Era of Sir Alex Ferguson went away and like 40 or 50 years ago, I miss it so much. With his management, normal players can unite together and as a team, they are strong. With Ten Hag, star players can become useless under his bad management.

Manchester United's position is now 14th in the table. This team managed to get only 8 points in 7 matches. Out of 7 matches won only 2 matches and lost 3 matches. Manchester United's weaknesses, both in attack and defence, are on display. In 7 matches, Manchester United's players managed to score only 5 goals and conceded 8 goals. A Renowned team like Manchester United has scored only 5 goals in 7 matches. Manchester United's forward lineup is not weak. Still I am very upset to see such a poor performance. If the forward players can't do well, there is no way for this team to improve.

Era of Sir Alex Ferguson went away and like 40 or 50 years ago, I miss it so much. With his management, normal players can unite together and as a team, they are strong. With Ten Hag, star players can become useless under his bad management.

Ten Hag has been the coach of Manchester United for a long time. He bought players like Hojlund and Antony at high prices. And the management of Manchester United is paying high wages to these players. But the performance of these players with Manchester United is very poor. Manchester United team is behind due to bad match strategy. And the only solution is to find a new coach. We will not see any improvement in Manchester United's performance unless the coach changes.

The rivalry between Chelsea and Aston Villa will be determined by consistency, moreover a long season requires both teams to have player options and here Chelsea is very favoured because they can still continue to maintain their performance until the end of the season. While Aston Villa's squad is limited and then in the Champion League strong opponents await so it will be more draining than Chelsea. The Blues lose 1 or 2 players can still be patched up with other players but when Aston Villa loses players then the consistency can be reduced.

It is till the season matures properly that is, from next year that we can begin to look at the clubs that will be able to be in the title race for long. Chelseas and Aston Villa are doing pretty well but how long will they be able to keep to their consistency is what matters the most.

However, the top three clubs are always like that trying to compete with one another on who stays on top to be ahead of the others. Liverpool have successfully sit on the first position and if care is not taken, either Arsenal or City will take over. I will not be surprised if it is Arsenal's turn to be on top which means that if they do, they might remain on top of the table for long just as usual.

[Palakka]

Chelsea and Aston Villa has similar points on the table and I can't even differentiate their performance but I think Aston Villa are sneaky team that make way even when things are difficult for them. They just humiliated Bayern Munich in the Champions League and draw almighty Manchester United in their last game and as for Chelsea, they are busy making more goals than what they have concede, only their next matches is going to determine who is going to last at the top.

By features arrangements, Aston Villa might have a way to stay above Chelsea because I'm not sure how Chelsea are going to win Liverpool that is fighting to stay ontop of the table, any small mistake from this play will not only drag them from there, they have to come down to stay with Aston Villa hopefully Villa don't win their next matches again but sometimes, things don't go as expected, minor teams don't finish from surprises.

So far we have seen the competition in the Premier League is starting to be very tight and some teams are currently starting to try to outperform each other, some teams that are in the European competition zone (ranked 1-5) currently only have a small point difference so that it is still possible for a change of position to occur in the standings, every team that tries to move up or maintain their current position of course requires them to be able to maintain performance and consistency in every their match.
Aston Villa did suffer some disappointing results, as you said, failing to beat Ipswich and only drawing with Manchester United previously cost them an important point and failed to dethrone other team in top standing, but with the small points difference, Of course we will see how chelsea and aston villa will put up strong resistance against other teams to fight for the top of the Premier League standings, because in my opinion, Chelsea and Aston Villa, they still have the same chance as Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City at the moment to end the season as champions.

The Premier League has only been running for 7 weeks and I see a slight change in the standings where Chelsea under their new coach has shown improvement, they have the opportunity to shift strong candidates such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City as long as the most important thing is that Maresca is able to maintain his consistency, and for Aston Villa like the previous season under the guidance of Unai Emery they have become strong and should be watched out for.

In the previous seasons we were often presented with three strong candidates such as Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool who took turns topping the standings but in the end Man City lifted the trophy at the end of the season, will that happen again this season?

The Blues lose 1 or 2 players can still be patched up with other players but when Aston Villa loses players then the consistency can be reduced.

The competition between Chelsea and Aston Villa for now in the top 4 is indeed very tight considering that their position is only determined by the goal difference, but I think the two teams have bigger ambitions and targets than just the current top 4 positions, both teams have so far had a pretty good performance and the opportunity to be at the top of the standings is still wide open, so of course requires them to stay consistency in all their next game, But if we look at the busy schedule  from both teams have after the international break is over, of course it is will be a challenge that will test their mentality and also their consistency later in the league, so indeed squad depth will obviously be an important factor to face those challenges and Chelsea have the advantage of their squad depth factor this season, with a squad that contains almost 30 players and most of them are talented young players who are ready Competing, of course, makes it easier for Enzo Maresca to maintain performance and consistency with the right player rotation in every match.

I must admit that Chelsea under the coaching of Enzo Maresca is showing a lot of improvement because I remember how low Chelsea is on the table by this time last season but surprisingly they have the number 4 position of the premier League now but I doubt if they would shift Arsenal or Liverpool from there position because if we check them through the clubs they have played with on this premier League, we would see that they have only been meeting smaller clubs and the only big team they meet was Manchester City and they loss the match with 2:0, so is from how they would perform with the bigger clubs that would give us believe that they can shift Arsenal or Liverpool, I even love the fact that Liverpool is there next rival, so if Chelsea wins that justify everything.

Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain set to leave the club at the end of the season

Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain is expected to leave the club at end of this season.

The Spaniard originally planned to step back from day-to-day operations when he turned 55 but was so invested in the City project and working alongside manager Pep Guardiola that he extended that to his 60th birthday.

He reached that age in August and the decision was made with full knowledge and endorsement of the club hierarchy.

City are believed to have reached an agreement to appoint a replacement, who is due to start in early 2025.

Begiristain played a leading role in the recruitment of his successor and will continue with his duties during a handover period for the first six months.

The former Spain midfielder previously worked as technical director at Barcelona from 2008 to 2010.

He joined the Etihad club in 2012 in a move that reunited him with City CEO Ferran Soriano, who he worked with during his time at Barcelona.

This sudden decision will be as a result of the charges FA is charging Manchester City which they will hardly survived because they failed in their recent appeal, we don't know how it will go yet, but if they are find guilty of the alleged charges, they will serve several punishments which can result to the team been demoted to relegation zone and other penalties which include declaiming some of their titles they won. If the team management is fund guilty, they team will lose several players, and I am not sure if Pep Guardiola will stay with the team because we know that he is a coach that need a team that can spend a lot of money to sign all his desired players.

Lets generally review these charges here, are we even sure that Manchester City can win the case if they further decided to take the case to court? Because I think they actually committed most of these offense even though their management has money, they were using extra money outside the money the team is generating to sign more players than it should be, and if it keep on going like this, every team will will wants to the same and it will affect some rules in football.
