⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

[LittleBitFunny]

I bet on Manchester United to concede at least a goal today and that is going to be my bet tonight.I lost quite some bets lately on Manchester United where they screw up against weaker teams for two consecutive matches.I doubt Brighton is the team that they can make a turn seeing their form lately.Maybe they win but I am sure if they don't tonight they will make again for the third consecutive match so many tickets lose because of their performance.

I'm not betting on it. It could go absolutely anywhere, a Man U win, a draw, a Brighton win... and no-one would be surprised. Man U suddenly pulling it together and coming away with a 5-0 win wouldn't even be surprising, and neither would Man U imploding completely and getting thrashed.
Man U at the moment is, for me at least, completely unpredictable. Even though their last 3 matches have all been 1-1... I wouldn't even bet on that outcome.

Nice decision, I think at the moment if you bet on Manchester United winning or you bet on Manchester United losing or you bet on a draw, in all the cases your money is in grave danger.
And Manchester United is currently too unpredictable for making a bet. As you said the last two matches were draws and it is completely possible for this match to be a 5-0 win, and that is also either way too. I mean Manchester United can give 5 goals or even concede 5 goals too.

Manchester United conceded a goal in their last match. Their opponent tonight is not one of the league's top scoring teams, but they can still score. In fact, they have quite good defensive players, but we can see from the statistics that they concede goals in every match.
I think it is risky to bet on this match. We can see a lot of surprise results at the end of the match

[Igebotz]

Hah yup.  I think there’s a more than 50% chance that Brighton could win the match or it could be a draw.  I could look like an idiot here but I put a little action on Brighton draw no bet at 3.10.  My gut says it’s either going to be 0 - 1 for Brighton or 1 - 1 with United scoring a goal late in the second half.  Dunno...  But yeah, United hasn’t really been looking that good since Rangnick arrived.

But then again who knows, the match is at Old Trafford so United could prolly go play like United and go 2 - 0, 3 - 0.

Isn't it too soon for Brighton, who just played a tough game against Watford three days ago? They're one of my favorite clubs, and they always deliver when you expect them to. Since it's a midweek game, I'm anticipating a tight and close score line. At 1.60 odds, I predict both teams to score.

A win here will propel Manchester United into the top four, so this isn't a game they can afford to lose. Their champions league hopes are on the line.

Risky games are the finest to wager on because they provide the most value. It's always a 50-50 game; you either lose or win a large sum of money.

To win against Brighton, Manchester United must first strengthen their defense. After conceding a goal, it became difficult for Manchester United to control the match and score. If Manchester United is not upset, they will win if they play defensively. They have won the last 6 matches against Brighton. But Brighton is in good form now. They are unbeaten in the last 6 matches. They have drawn matches with teams like Chelsea.

There have been several weak points for Manchester United this season. First on the defensive line. Second in midfield especially defensive midfielder (DM).
With the joining of Raphael Varane, Manchester United's defense was slightly helped, but not optimal because the figure of Maguere who looked half-hearted in guarding the defense made David de Gea as the last defense to work extra to block the opponent's kick.
In the midfield, almost every week a player like Fred has a stable level up and down.

I think that Manchester United has certain holes in their game and the opponent are exploiting their flaws really well. In all the matches I can say that Manchester United seems to have almost no momentum and no control over the match.

Then mid-field looks like they almost fail to make any good chances and the defenses really easily penetrable right now and the goalkeeper can only do so much in certain situations.
I know that they are trying to play long balls but I think they have to make more passes and gain control and possession of the ball.

RESULT:

Manchester United 2-0 Brighton and Hove Albion


This was a win giving Manchester United 3 points but Brighton had chances to make this game have different result. Their goalkeeper De Gea saved a shot to keep Manchester United in the game but Ronaldo scored his 804th career goal to open the scoring and what a goal it was. He should have had a hat-trick. Fernandes scored the second at the end of the game with a brilliant goal.

Full credit to Brighton for trying to make the most of it after they had a player sent off. They will be safe this season and will avoid the relegation.

[JollyGood]

It is looking interesting at the foot of the table as teams fight for survival trying to avoid relegation and the teams fighting for the top 4 finish are also providing entertainment.

One point to note is that Chelsea are now just 4 points ahead of Manchester United.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, the gap is quite high enough. ( points, meant that Liverpool should win 3 times and City should lose 3 times). haha. but this is probably impossible because we know that City often plays very well and wins the matches.

No doubt, Manchester City have high possibility of winning the Premier League. I don't also think Liverpool will be able to catch up with them. They have proven to be one of the greatest team in EPL this season.

Indeed, it is too difficult to pass Man City to reach the first standing and become a winner. We have seen the points, the games so far, and how every chance is utilized by each team. I am sure that Man City will be the winner, City deserves it.

Btw, congratulations to Man United that has won and added more points to the club for the fourth standing.
During the match, both clubs were playing very well, they seemed to be balanced in possessing the ball. Moreover, both Man United and also Brighton also have several chances to shoot.
After the first goal by C. Ronaldo, Man United has a bigger spirit again to win the game. Moreover, there was a red card for Brighton, which really adds the confidence and also chances for Man United to score even at the extra time by Bruno Fernandez.
Yes, the point gap is 4 different from Chelsea, but Chelsea still has one remaining game to play. If this club can win the game, the gap point will be higher again between Man United and Chelsea.

Yes, but Chelsea have a game in hand, plus a much better goal difference. TBH I think Man U should be looking below rather than above... Arsenal are still my favourites to take fourth spot.

Bit of a gap opening up at the bottom of the table. On the face of it, it looks like the bottom three are starting to drift away... the questions really are over Everton and Newcastle? Was Everton's good result last time out merely a blip in their descent? And how much is Trippier's absence going to affect the Newcastle recovery?

This was a win giving Manchester United 3 points but Brighton had chances to make this game have different result. Their goalkeeper De Gea saved a shot to keep Manchester United in the game but Ronaldo scored his 804th career goal to open the scoring and what a goal it was. He should have had a hat-trick.

Full credit to Brighton for trying to make the most of it after they had a player sent off. They will be safe this season and will avoid the relegation.

Ronaldo should have scored more than 2 goals in the match against Brighton and Hove Albion if only Jadon Sancho had good composure by turning the ball back from Ronaldo's assist in the first half.
The Manchester United vs Brighton and Hove Albion match really showed that Manchester United had started well, only remaining in the final finishing in scoring goals. Regardless of Ronaldo's personal record.

Yes Ronaldo had a chance at 6th minute but missed and had another chance to score a goal but his good will, he passed to Fernandes but he missed. Still Ronaldo's goal at 51st minute was awesome. Was really lovely to watch him score a goal. Fenandaes as well had chances to score more than a goal but yes missed. Man Utd goal keeper was the other hero for Man Utd win the match. He saved 2 goals. It would have been either drawn at the end if he missed though. Was a good match.

If you're a supporter of a rival, it's only natural that you want Manchester United to continue to be a laughing stock.
We don't look at the club, but we look at the whole which is football. Manchester United is not cursed, but it has not been able to return to the way it started under coach Sir Alex even though they have brought in several top coaches starting from Van Gal, Mourinho and several former players starting from Solskjaer, Carrick and most recently Ralf Rangnick.
My question is, you as a fan of rival clubs, how was the condition of rival club MU before being handled by Pep? does it fall into the category of the club being laughed at?

You seem to be someone who has always looked at the Manchester United club from the past until now, but in general I also can't give a very precise answer to this, but in the past I have seen that a club like Manchester United is a very strong club and has The performance was extraordinary, so if this season there is a slight decline in terms of play, it is a very reasonable thing too although it would be a plus if at this time Manchester United could return to their previous form.

I am not fixated on the old Manchester United game and I am aware that a club is not always in an era of glory. The problem is that Manchester United is not currently in a transition period because it has been a number of years that it has not been properly considered a laughing club by opponents.
Many former Manchester United players have criticized United's current state of play. Do they also look at MU's game and compare it to the old MU?

[JollyGood]

It is a long season though therefore a lot could happen with the 13 or so games remaining to play. However unlikely it seems right now about Liverpool catching Manchester City, it is possible. For example if Liverpool win their games in hand and narrow the gap to 6 points with equal games played it would mean a victory for Liverpool when they play Manchester City would reduce the gap to just 3 points. I think Manchester City will win the league but Liverpool will chase them until the end.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and West Ham United are making the chasing pack look good

Yes, I am free with the Manchester United talk, because I think Manchester United is in more danger from the teams below them. Manchester United cannot afford to lose points at this stage of the season and obviously, Chelsea has one game in their hand so they are quite chilling but Manchester United, if they lose one match they might potentially lose their position in the table.
I think that Everton and Newcastle are standing on thin ice because they cannot lose at this stage. They don't have much of a point difference with the team in the relegation zone.

I really don't believe that Liverpool is going to be able to catch Manchester City this season. Even though Liverpool has one match in their hand, the nine points difference between them and Manchester City looks really big at the moment and I don't see Manchester City losing consistently in the near future. But I am sure that Liverpool will not give up and keep chasing till the end.
Meanwhile, I am keeping a close eye on Manchester United because 1 mistake from them can cause them to lose their position in the table.

[Igebotz]

man Manchester City's Premier League and Champions League form is frightening; they are a joy to watch, and it's highly likely that they will not lose more than three points in the remaining games.

However unlikely it seems right now about Liverpool catching Manchester City, it is possible. For example if Liverpool win their games in hand and narrow the gap to 6 points with equal games played it would mean a victory for Liverpool when they play Manchester City would reduce the gap to just 3 points.

Having a game in hand may be a major disadvantage, especially when facing a side fighting for relegation or a champions league spot. They currently have a game against Arsenal, who are also battling for a champions league position and they are most likely to drop points.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and West Ham United are making the chasing pack look good 

Every game for the top 7 clubs and the last 5 clubs is now like a final, as you can see from Ronaldo's celebration after scoring against Brighton last night.

[JollyGood]

The man has just scored his 804th career goal. He is a living legend as far as footballers are concerned. He has 105 international goals which is just behind the current record of 109. His goal against Brighton was stunning but the two opportunities he missed were shocking, such is his brilliance. If Manchester United are to have any success this season it really has to be through Ronaldo and Fernandes. With either of them missing from the first team it seems unlikely the team will have enough motivation and drive to win games.

It was not just his celebration for scoring, look at how angry he was for missing the chances he had because he knows he should have added more. He should have scored a hat-trick but those two goals helped Manchester United stay in the fight for a top 4 finish and yes you are right the teams in the chasing pack are almost playing a cup final every game

I am very glad that Ronaldo finally scored and broke his goalless streak of 6 matches. In principle, given Ronaldo's high skill and attitude, the only question was when this bad series would end. By the way, about de Gea, I would like to add that thanks to this match, the goalkeeper repeated Peter Schmeichel's record for zero matches for Manchester United and the number of these matches is 128. Also thanks to this win, MU returned to 4th place, which allows them to participate in the Champions League next season, but taking into account the missed matches, Arsenal, Wolverhampton and Tottenham still have chances to beat Manchester United if they win these missed matches.

[Igebotz]

Man The biography of Ronaldo was unnecessary. Lol. We don't have to live in the past; every footballer, regardless of their goal-scoring records, has had difficult times. Consider Messi, who despite having an incredible goal-scoring record in one of the best leagues in the world, is struggling in Europe's smallest league, just like Ronaldo. After going six games without scoring, I believe that was Ronaldo's first goal of the year. I was attempting to convey that he is working extra hard to help the team qualify for the Champions League, and you could see how important each goal was to him.

 I don't see him continuing at Manchester United beyond his contract if they fail to qualify for the Champions League after stating publicly that he will not be a part of a squad that simply fights for the top six.

I always pay attention to his reaction if he is not given the ball and missed the shots. he will be very disappointed even grumble. I know he is the best player on this planet ever have, but we know how old him, He is now is not fast and sharp like before. He has several opportunities but that is missed because is not running fast and probably because of a decrease in his instinct. The team should have made him a diversion like Manchester City did for Grealish. the shooter Must be Rushford, Bruno, or another attacker.

@JollyGood he’s an perfectionist and he hates when he misses the chance to score, plus those reactions were for the sports pundit who are constantly criticising him. @blue Snow Ronaldo would never settle for that role, because he wants to be the main goal scorer and create new records, rather than just be a player who just assists and let someone else take the glory.

[JollyGood]

Man The biography of Ronaldo was unnecessary. Lol. We don't have to live in the past;

It makes good reading 

No other player in world football including those at your beloved Chelsea will ever get anywhere near what this man has done. Some of his records will never be broken. At 37 years old, he is running around on the football pitch like a teenager given his first game to impress his manager.

I don't see him continuing at Manchester United beyond his contract if they fail to qualify for the Champions League after stating publicly that he will not be a part of a squad that simply fights for the top six.

He is a serial winner, he wants to win. He also stated he wants to go to end his career in the MLS but that is far off. Maybe the rumours about him joining PSG next season have substance because the Qatari owners have money. If Manchester United fail to qualify for the Champions League he should leave unless they win the trophy which means they automatically qualify next season even if they miss out on a top 4 position.

Grealish is having a nightmare at Manchester City. He is currently out of the team because of injuries but even when he was fit and playing he was struggling to make an impact. If he stayed at Villa he would have gone down in history as their best ever player but in his desire to win trophies he made Manchester City pay £100 million to Villa and he is on a huge salary. Villa chairman put out videos on social media stating they were not interested in selling Grealish and rejected many offers for him but when handed in a transfer, Villa had to sell him but decided to get the most money they could.

Villa can use some of that £100 million to strengthen the squad while their new manager Gerrard settles in meanwhile Grealish watches his Manchester City teammates from the sidelines.

You are right, Ronaldo is a perfectionist even at 37 years old. He was furious with himself for having 3 clear opportunities to score but he failed to find the back of the net but Ronaldo is a world class player and he scored a stunning goal with a half-chance. That is him.

Manchester United 2-0 Brighton and Hove Albion

Manchester United played a wonderful game yesterday to defeat Brighton 2:0 to improve their point to 4th position in the premier league table. Ronaldo really demonstrated his professional career by giving Manchester United fans a great joy for the goal. Now that Manchester United has got to 4th position, it will be difficult for them to lose any match again because their players are now fully ready to move the team to another level in this tournament. Brighton players really missed many opportunities to have a goal in yesterday match but they missed those opportunity that made Manchester United to load them 2:0 .
