[Fivestar4everMVP]

Yes Liverpool has a huge advantage over Burnley, they have a better squad between both teams no doubt but again this is a game of football where anything can actually happen irrespective of the kind of team that's playing. I always try to keep my fingers crossed in games like this because sometimes unexpected things happens.

Burnley could not stop Manchester United from defeating them when they were at 2:2 I wonder what you think they can get with a Liverpool team that has everyone available for the game and Mo Salah, Isak and the rest of the squad is ready to play the game. Liverpool will definitely be defeated by a team in this season but I don't think Burnley is that team not this early not even when Liverpool is topping the league they wouldn't want to risk anything.

If we are talking about a team defeating or beating Liverpool in the Premier league, I am not the type that says never since we can't actually predict what may happen tomorrow, and I also don't under-estimate team no matter how weak they seem to appear.

But when it comes to Liverpool and Burnley, it will be an insult on Liverpool to even compare them to Burnley, Burnley can not beat Liverpool based on their current rating except something changes before or in the middle of the match, or that Burnley turned out to be Extra lucky, but on a normal strength to strength and tactics to tactics levels, Burnley can't withstand Liverpool especially in their coming match.

Burnley vs Liverpool

Regarding the match above - I hope Liverpool maintain their consistency and win 3 points. We've already won 9 points in our first 3 games, including a 1-0 victory over Arsenal. The players' morale is excellent and I'm very optimistic about getting 3 more points, even though this is an away game. This game is expected to be easier than the one against Arsenal last week - but I don't want to underestimate Burnley, who have been a real nuisance for Manchester United in previous matches.

Liverpool is certainly going home with three points comes this weekend no doubt, it will sure be an easy win for them, you can't judge this game with that of the Arsenal's game we all know for the past few seasons Arsenal have been in mad form and if you go through their head to head the both teams usually win each other, and for the Manchester United vs Burnley we all can clearly tell that Manchester United actually played them a good football but was just quite unfortunate that they conceded two goals, but I believe Burnley won't give Liverpool that much pressure.

Liverpool has not lost a single match so far. Liverpool has played very well in every match. I hope that Liverpool will win. Because Arsenal lost to Liverpool a few days ago. Now Arsenal has to win against Nottingham. If Arsenal can win then they have hope this season. Nottingham is in very good form at the moment but Arsenal is a little weak in attack which is why I have some doubts about this match. But let's see what happens.

Burnley is not at same level of Liverpool but the FIFA virus through latest international matches can give Burnley some kind of advantage. Liverpool have more star players and are certainly more affected by FIFA days than Burnley. With better player fitness for this match, Burnley can play this match more energetic than Liverpool and they will have better probability of getting points from Liverpool than another match between them without FIFA day effects.

Premier League this season is at its early match days and Liverpool actually did not lose any match including a big match with Arsenal. They won all matches so far and got maximum points which are helpful for their title defending task in this season. Other clubs in Premier League especially title candidates and competitors like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City will have to pay more attention on Liverpool. They have to do more analysis on Liverpool tactics in general to Liverpool players' strength and weakness in order to prepare well for direct matches with this strong team in the future.

With good transfers from the summer transfer market, I believe that Liverpool will become a stronger team in this season with better resources for substitutions during a long season. It increases their chance of defending the league title successfully even facing with challenge from many other big clubs.

Liverpool is a strong team in this season, despite they are facing some little challenges that is making the players not to understand themselves strategies,  this match will not make Liverpool to lose their next match base on some kind players they have in this tournament, and You can't use Manchester United to compare Liverpool team because we all know that Manchester United have some challenges in the area of goalkeeper and winger  that is making them to start battling from the beginning of this season until they managed to win their last match, which Liverpool case will not be like that, I will not say Burnley will not score goal in this match, but they don't have squads that will stop Liverpool not to take another three points from this match, if Liverpool lose in this match, it will make many people to be angry with the team which I know something like that will not happen.

IS funny to see here in this thread we are talking more about the shit game between Liverpool and Burnley instead of the main one who is Manchester United against Manchester City, can anyone said to me why?

So lets change that.

What team do you expect to prevail in the derby of the weekend? Are we gonna see a close match or a open one?

[bitcoin_mining]

Liverpool has been good and strong this season compared to previous seasons. Their performance this season has not declined, and I believe they are ready for the Premier League trophy competition this season.
Facing Burnley should not be a hurdle for Liverpool, nor for United, whose performance is still not convincing. This season's competition is probably between Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. I don't know whether to consider Man City and United.

Liverpool are leading the race for the title already a team with the players they have can not face challenges when they play against a small team like Burnley they are performing well more than expected they are showing early signs that they are ready to win the league this season. Against Burnley is going to end in favour of Liverpool of course they won't find it difficult to defeat them like United did and as for the contenders it's either Liverpool or Arsenal for the title.

Brother, the season has just started, Liverpool have only played three matches, so based on the performance of these three matches, it cannot be said with such certainty that Liverpool is far ahead in winning the Premier League title. We will be able to say this in the middle of the season when we see that Liverpool is far ahead of all other teams in terms of points. In the current situation, if other teams perform a little better and if they earn full points in more than one match, then they will leave Liverpool behind and move to the top position of the points table.

For example, you must be observing the Premier League points table carefully where you can definitely see the position of Chelsea who are in the second position of the points table with only 2 points less. If Liverpool earns one point in the next match, on the other hand, if Chelsea earns 3 points, then Liverpool's points and Chelsea's points will be equal.
But yes, Liverpool has undoubtedly formed a strong team this season, so Liverpool will definitely try to retain the Premier League title this season.

United and Man City are both experiencing a decline in performance. They have not achieved good results at the start of the season. In terms of player quality, I think Man City should be above United. But we don't know how both teams will fight. Whatever the conditions for both, this is a derby match. The match will surely be competitive and hopefully not boring.

Remember is football we are talking about, though some teams can be considered as underdog while the other seems to be more superior but that doesn't mean that the one you're seen as underdog can not defeat the one that seems to be more superior. so I see nothing wrong if people are seriously talking about liverpool and burnley and of course we might as well have liverpool fans in the house so what did you expect?

And yeah, manchester city vs manchester united is one of the crucial match this weekend. I can see that the bookmakers are already fixing the odd in the favor of manchester city, how did you see the possibility? Probably, probably, I can't really tell for sure I think the end will justify. What about your opinion what did you suggest?

Well the Derby is loosing it weight as Manchester United have been on a struggling path for quiet a while now and their fellow rival Manchester city have been struggling too I’m recent years. Years back  when the Manchester derby use to what you expected.

So far ever since Amorim moved to Manchester, pep have never defeated him so I Guardiola will want to change that this coming week. Manchester city have been hit with 2 injury blow, they lost Cherki before the international break and now they have lost Marmoush in the international break, both players will miss this clash.

Manchester United have been poor since the beginning of season, I don’t expect much from them in this match, I think they will lose This match, that my personal opinion tho.

You are talking about a team that Manchester United has beaten with 3 goals and if we look at Burnley over Liverpool, it will not be much of an interest. That's a more and better match than what you talked about. Which is going to be from Manchester United and Manchester City. If we look at Manchester City, it is also in a good game and Manchester United are also in good form, so the chances of interest in this match are very high and it will be a very impressive match for us. In this match we will get to see tough competition which will make it difficult for each other.

As for betting, I don't plan on including them in my list, as they haven't shown convincing form since the start of the season and there's a chance this match won't be a close one. However if I had to pick who has the better odds, I'd pick Man City. Haaland is currently in fine form for the Norwegian national team and more importantly Man City also has home advantage.

The reason why is because that match doesn't look like one to talk about.
Asides the fact that on paper, both teams are still trying to find their angles especially United.

Hmmm maybe they are so much interested on Liverpool because of the funds they've spent on the transfer market and the kind of players they've also got, so if you ask me I'd say it's worth focusing on, but talking about the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, I'd say it's a win or draw in favor of Manchester United, like as we all can see after the departure of some key players from Manchester City they've not been in a good form despite the new signings, Manchester City performance has been very poor and can't use that on Manchester United, I'm not saying Manchester United is in good form either but judging from the present situation I can still tell Manchester United is in good position to win that game.

Manchester city and Manchester United! Who will win? If you ask me, I stand with Manchester United, at least for now, Manchester United are more attacking and with more force up front. Am not writing City off, but then, Manchester United stands a more better chance to win regardless of where the match is played.

But you know, it's football, anything can happen. Manchester city can pick form that that and trash a living hell out of United, lol. That's just football. We expect anything. But I feel it's gonna be a win for United or draw. That's my prediction, but if it plays otherwise, I wouldn't still be surprised, because it's the game of football

Both teams are in thesame level now Manchester United is not well same as Manchester City this season but it is going to be interesting since it is a derby match i can't predict who will win but Manchester City looks more good than Manchester United, i don't also think it will be a boring game both teams to score won't be a bad option for gamblers instead of picking a direct win.

This match will be tricky to predict because just as you have said it's a derby match even though Manchester United has not been in the best of forms when it comes to big teams especially there city rivals united seams to up their game, so this game will be very interesting to watch as both teams will be fighting to get all three points.

The sad truth is that whether Manchester city is in a good form or not, they always play Manchester united like mad so their form doesn't really matter whenever they are playing and also considering the fact that Manchester united is not even in a good form, I mean they are scattered, not coordinated. They have all it takes to go as far as contending in first position in the premier league this season but it is very sad they don't know how to utilize those good players, I don't want to conclude yet but I believe and think Manchester city will win Manchester united.

[Youngrebel]

So lets change that.

To change that is base on the topic at hand. People discuss what concerned them. If you are interested to discuss Man United and Man City, you can initiate the discussion and others will follow. In the weekend there are a lot of games to discuss here. And anyone can bring my of the games and create a discussion here.
On Saturday 13 September 12:30 Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest, and other 7 games on that the same day. And Sunday 14 September, Liverpool vs Burnley which will be a auto win for Liverpool and for the game between Manchester United and Manchester City, as for me it will be  clear win for Manchester City.

If I missed understood you, you can correct me.

The game you are referring to as shit game may be more important to people who are supporters of Liverpool or have interest in some of the players. As I understand, the signing of Isak is dominating the news which is why Liverpool is dominating the discussion and not necessarily Burnley. Manchester United and Manchester City are two weak teams this season, so don't be surprised if people are not paying them any serious attention.

[Versatile_choice]

This match will be tricky to predict because just as you have said it's a derby match even though Manchester United has not been in the best of forms when it comes to big teams especially there city rivals united seams to up their game, so this game will be very interesting to watch as both teams will be fighting to get all three points.

Is very hard to predict the outcome of this match, you know if it were before when manchester city is still in a good form I would've possibly choose them as the favorite team to win this match considering the home advantage, but is obvious that manchester city is going through the same challenge with manchester united and this would balance the strength of both teams so if I'm to predict the score I think I will go for goal goal or Draw that's the both teams to score our they end up with a score of draw. I'm sure that these prediction is more suitable for this game, than going for direct win.
