On the other hand, I see that Man United is now exactly the same as when Arteta first coached Arsenal. It was limping and in shambles, but slowly when the team is formed, its quality will be seen, and now Man United has found the character of its game. Club management just needs to be patient or not wait for the process that is taking place. Man United now only needs to be consistent in their game and win in the remaining matches so that it is not impossible for them to finish in fourth place.

Too early to say that Man United has found their own character because of their 3 consecutive wins in EPL. Talking about their chance for the Champions League or Europa League, I think the chance is low if I look at their remaining matches. They still have some "hard" matches that may make them lose some points, they are matches against Man City, Liverpool, Newcastle and Arsenal. Aston Villa can be said as the one between them (United and Spurs) that has easier remaining matches. Of course how each team perform in the remaining matches will be the one key, which team can finish better is the one with better and consistent performance.

In football, anything can happen, especially the EPL league which we know often provides unexpected surprises. A difference of 6 points is certainly not safe for Tottenham, if Tottenham make mistakes in two matches then their points will be taken over by Man United. I doubt Tottenham can maintain the pressure from the Man United and Aston Villa teams in the next few matches.

Football is a game full of surprises and the EPL being on of the toughest league in the world is a league where one's expectations could be cut short, in the EPL you could see top clubs like Liverpool and City struggling to win against newly introduced Luton and even end up losing against them and one thing i love about this league is because every week has it's own suprises and you dare not underestimate any team else you could be taken by suprise.

 However Tottenham haven't really secured the top 4 yet since they got major competition against United and Villa, they might be ahead with about 6 points but it's not really enough yet cause 2 draws or losses would close the gap and give other teams an advantage ahead of them. Ange Postecoglou needs to do everything possible to make sure they win their next fixture, at this point they need to be very consistent and maintain it for a long while cause United haven't given up on the top 4 yet and are very eager to get there if Tottenham miss their chances. As for Aston Villa, I think they lost their touch and would not make top 4 but maybe the Europa or conference League.

What do you think on the Manchester City v Chelsea match tomorrow? 

I guess you all remember how things went on their latest rendezvous. Chelsea showed a spectacular resistance and got a 4-4 draw. Palmer also had a good performance against his old team. Even Jackson scored a goal.    On the other hand I have big doubts about Chelsea on this one. Because Manchester City have De Bruyne back in the squad and the match is at Etihad.

Manchester City have odds around 1.35 which is decent enough to add to parlays. I would just prefer that instead of going on with a different market.

[Strongkored]

I think it is still very difficult for United to break into the top 4 positions. If you talk about the top five and the chance of qualifying for the European league, I think Manchester United still has a big chance. Aston Villa have performed poorly in the last few matches and they have lost 2 of their last five matches. Now they are only 5 points ahead of United and that is a loss because United have managed to improve their performance. United might be able to catch Tottenham who are only 6 points ahead but I see Tottenham's performance is quite solid and they will also try to maintain their position.

Manchester United is six points behind Tottenham Hotspur so it is true that it will be quite difficult for Manchester United to reach the top four because they not only have to fight to win a lot of matches but also wait for the teams above them to lose so that the point difference can decrease and slowly they can move these teams.
Unfortunately, even though Manchester United seems to be experiencing good progress in the last few matches, that doesn't reduce the fact that there are still some weaknesses in them which are very likely to be exploited by their opponents in all the remaining matches.
Their defense which is still poor might destroy the advantage they get when facing a strong team like Manchester City in the match in March, so my prediction is that maybe Manchester United will only occupy a position in the European league or conference league, not the Champions League.

Manchester United are scrolling back to the top gradually, they have a good record this month, if they keep the conceding goals to minimal and increase thier goals from Garbacho and Rasmus, they will break the gate of top 4 and climb back with high hopes of returning to the Champions League next season. It will be a plus for them to even make it quick as the Champions League knockout is starting this week, all attention will be there and they focus on here since they have been eliminated in the group stage.

I think it is really difficult to see the Red Devils starting to concede much less goals than this in the remaining part of the season, my friend. 
Because I mean even Varane is performing really disappointingly. He wasn't like this in the previous season. His morale also must have dropped quite much after the bad results they got. But as an experienced and quality defender he should have still stayed mentally strong. When it comes to especially Hojlund he is very impressive recently. He finally started to score in the PL as well. This is valuable for the Red Devils to keep their hopes up.

The performance from manchester united was still very inconsistent and im doubting united to enter into the top 4. The gap was too big and united is not yet stable at this time. The only problem that owned by manchester united was on the goal keeper and defenders. The main problem is now manchester united doesn't have good defenders in the squad.
The club needs also to perform much better caused by there will be hard fixtures to come soon. Im concerning about the performance from manchester united which was very under perform. yet it's still capable enough in winning the game continuously.

I have heard that if ten hag has been planing to revamp the club and i hope this will be ready very soon. The performance from manchester united is not that bad but it needs to be solved through recruiting the good players and sold the garbage players in the market. I hope ten hag will be fully maximizing its scouting team.
There must not be another stupid recruitment from him like onana and mason mount. They were playing so garbage and ten hag needs aware about that caused by he was the head coach of manchester united.

Im always watching how the transfer progress of united is always going on. Ten hag needs to put this as his main concern.

[tusandii]

Onana was really amazing against Aston Villa which made me ask "Why isn't he like that most of the time?"    If he wasn't an inconsistent goalkeeper during the most part of the season he wouldn't have been highly criticized. But because of having a tough season people even started to create various memes about Onana's performance.

Maybe the bad look of the team this season caused Onana's concentration to be shaky as well. But he is actually a quite decent goalkeeper which he proved by this match too.    If he completes the season by minimum amount of mistakes from now on I don't think Manchester United would be in search of a new goalkeeper.

Big man started Manchester United with a weak defense and midfielder's with tired legs, right constructive criticism would be peng and I'm open to him listening bto whatever they've got to say.
I'd blame the poor performance of the defense as it must have affected the performance declines of Andrea Onana. Props to Villa too, they made me happy with how they played.

I'd love to see him getting consistent from here. He is a goalscorer and a good goalkeeper for them. Manchester United are trying to maintain balance in this second half and they'll.

I have the same opinion as you that what must be paid attention to is not only Onana, it is not even worth blaming Onana because as a goalkeeper it will not be easy for him to guard his own goal against many opposing players if there is no support from the defense players it will definitely be very difficult for him Onana to save the goal.
One day I thought why people thought that Onana was the source of defeat in every MU match, even though he as a goalkeeper had tried his best to secure Manchester United goal.
I believe that if the defense can perform like they did against Aston Villa, Manchester United can definitely be better.

Tis definitely collective efforts with with whole defender's and then the defensively midfielder's to do them job. Not to forget the midfielder's entirely to keep a good possessions so that they can as well control the game and how it flows.

I no longer respond to those who criticize Andrea Onana, with time he'll silent all of the critics. In between he has made a good percentage of saves over any other goalkeeper in the Premier League Competition this very season but no body would want to talk about it.
Erik Ten Hag is doing a nice Job. So far Mc Tominay has been his number 1 goalscorer in the Premier League Competition. Glad to finally see the likes of Granacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford improving.

Yes, it's true, even though I'm not a Manchester United fan, I still pay attention to developments and weaknesses that occur at MU, so even though there are a lot of people who blame Onana, let's just leave it because it all requires a process because Onana has just been in the Premier League, even De Gea also experienced the same thing the same thing when he first moved from Atletico Madrid to Manchester United required adaptation and his performance did not improve quickly.
What De Gea experienced will be repeated by Onana as long as he can defend the goalkeeper, he will definitely improve soon.

Initially I thought MU needed a major overhaul of players but after I saw that MU players only needed time to improve their performance as you said some of the players who started to improve with a little improvement were much better than before.
Erik Ten Hag, who plays an important role in MU future, as long as he can manage the players well, will one day achieve success.

[klidex]

Onana was performing very well in the match against aston villa and i can't even believe it how manchester united was able beating villa with good score. Chelsea is going to face manchester city soon and im doubting chelsea to get points against manchester city caused by city was too strong.
I will not complaint if chelsea will lose against city coz this club is still on the its peak performance this season. im only hoping there will be attractive gameplay from chelsea and manchester city and it will make the game becomes even more attractive than before.
Im hoping that if pochettino will be using the best line up to beat city although it was an impossible thing to happen for chelsea.

Slowly, Andre Onana performance very well with Manchester United and success made his team keep unbeaten in this years from 6 matches all competition, but have little improving performance for Andre Onana how to make his team keep make clean sheet on every match due last clean sheet made when Manchester United won over 3-0 against West Ham United.

I losses faith with Chelsea performance in this season, unpredictable and still inconsistency with their performance and difficult ho to break on the top standings position. Next match  Manchester City are waiting for and seems not easy for Chelsea will success get three points and City will make success make seven consecutives winning in Premier League?

Andre Onana is starting to be praised by most people after a series of bad defenses while he was Erik Ten Hag preferred goalkeeper for Manchester United. I know Andre Onana potential will definitely start to show progress over time, it just takes time to adapt to a big Premier League club, previously he was in Italy and is currently in English so adapting is very important for players to returned to their best performance and currently Andre Onana is starting to see good improvement and Erik Ten Hag feel relieved about this.

Chelsea performance tend to be unstable and we haven't seen Chelsea playing consistently in the last 5 matches Chelsea experience 2 defeated and 3 wins, but these wins did not occur consecutively, so their performance cannot be said to be good. Against Manchester City, it was quite a tough match for Chelsea and me. I think Chelsea will lose again in this match.

Yet again he is still far from what i have expected. Onana has been bought by united used a lot of money but the club was not able to performing even better. He's such a flop in united. I think that he deserves no more chance in united. onana was only lucky enough caused by he was the only goal keeper owned by united.
So, united has no choice other tha give him the more chances to play. Im very disappointed with his performance and it feels like that he was always declining instead of climbing. I think that manchester united needs to increase its standard to increase again.

I don't even know why there were fans who are supporting him. Onana and mason mount have been also making the standard of club to drop a lot. That shit from mason mount and onana were not acceptable. The performance from onana and mount were not at all acceptable.
I hope that those who are still delusional about the performance from mount and onana can realize the fact that if there will never be improvements to come from onana and mount. They were flops.

Against Manchester City, it was quite a tough match for Chelsea and me. I think Chelsea will lose again in this match.

Of course, with the current strength, it is possible that Manchester City will get the full three points because Chelsea has not looked consistent in the last few matches, but I believe Chelsea will make it difficult for Manchester City to win because in the previous match Chelsea played very aggressively against Manchester City. and it's still in my memory where Manchester City conceded 4 goals so easily and were held to a draw by Chelsea and even almost lost, Guardiola seems to have learned from that mistake.

I also hope that Manchester City can win this match, at least a narrow win is more than enough, playing at the home of the Etihad Stadium of course in front of all their supporters, Manchester City must be able to show their best game, Chelsea is very good at fast games and counter attacks which must be Guardiola is careful to place players correctly and the most important thing is that KDB will be played in that match, because I believe that with KDB he has a role in creating goals for his friends through his assists.

Onana is not consistent, and that’s why people think his performance is really poor. There are some matches in which Onana do perform well, but he do perform very poorly in others, which has really affected Manchester United. But if Manchester United's defense is really strong, then his poor performance won’t really be obvious, but Manchester United's defense is also not that strong.
 
I never have any doubt that Manchester City will win their next match against Chelsea. I am just surprised that some people are thinking Chelsea will win the match. I don’t even know why they think Chelsea might surprise them, I don’t think Chelsea will be able to surprise them in a match like this.

Manchester United aren’t doing very well to have the full confidence of them finishing in the top 4 this season. They’re performing quite as an average team even though they’re having consistent wins. How long will the consistent wins come especially when they’ve got a shaky defense line and an unreliable goalkeeper. Those are my fears especially as they’ll soon get into the fixture where they play EPL Big 6 games, will these shaky areas of the team be able to still stand out.

 ETH is saying something on revamping which is worthy of applauds but will he be able not to make same error like he did with Onana, because making same error is like creating more injuries and worry for the team and that’s going to even make their performance poorer than how they’re now. With these points I don’t think they’ll be able to make the top 4 yet but they can finish somewhere around 5th or 6th of they try to remain consistent even against Big 6 teams.

Before you get to Andrea Onana you must have outplayed the midfielder's, the defensive midfielder in particular, and lastly, the defenders before getting to Andrea Onana, why are these players not being blamed? Aren't they part of the squad also? These people bashing and lashing out on him are simply biased or do not know how to watch football not to talk of playing, because of they did play, they'd know that he's to be encouraged. Football ain't easy, these players makes it look so easygoing lol.

I cannot say they'll lose that game against Chelsea. What I know is that they're going to see a fierce battle against the blues this weekend just like it was during the first half of the season. The availability of Kevin De Bruyne also means nothing.

[Huppercase]

If Manchester United weren't politically blind with their decision to send away David Degea, the team would have been in a good shape but because they thought he was their problem and went for Onana and he is not performing better as they expected, they are now angry for their own mistake. Last season, clearly it was their center forward that was weak and defense but Degea was keeping them inform but now that their center forward is okay, their goalkeeper is a basket and center back is weak.

I don't even know why there were fans who are supporting him. Onana and mason mount have been also making the standard of club to drop a lot. That shit from mason mount and onana were not acceptable. The performance from onana and mount were not at all acceptable.
I hope that those who are still delusional about the performance from mount and onana can realize the fact that if there will never be improvements to come from onana and mount. They were flops.

Didn't you see what Chelsea has been doing all this while, did their fans gave up? No, the same thing I'm seeing with Onana and the fact that he was good in Inter, a lot of people including me thinks that he is under a lot of pressure. Last 2 games since he came back from Afcon was great and people praised for that performance but the moment he makes mistakes, they come for him forgetting that he is a human and bound for mistakes especially when people want more from you.

[Kristiyana]

Man City during this season has lost 3x, while Chelsea 10x. But, If what is meant is Head-to-head Man City vs Chelsea, it looks like Man City has not been beaten by Chelsea in at least the last 5 matches. But once a draw and another is a victory for Man City. And in the next match, Man City looks like they will win again, although maybe it won't be that easy, but I believe that Man City will be superior.

As a Liverpool fan obviously I want Chelsea to win but let’s be honest here, Man City will destroy them. It’s what they do at this time of the season.

I am starting to give up hope that Liverpool can win it this season. We have too many injuries mounting and Man City have Haaland and De Bruyne back fit.

It's not completely over until it's over. Anything can happen in the long run. Both Manchester City and Liverpool may also lose the league to Arsenal.
You just too expectant I guess, you'll have to enjoy the flow as it goes, that way you'll never be disappointed with what's to come and not come.

I do not want Manchester City to win the Premier League Competition this season though. But who am I to say that? Lol  The Gunners I gave my support are not doing well, fingers crossed anything could still come up. Stay positive.

Onana's criticism from fans is not his fault, but a result of the general team's performance. Onana before now in his previous teams was as good as ever, he won awards and made good name for himself. His move to Manchester United and his performance afterwards surprised everyone because suddenly, he began to concede consistently and it was disappointing for the club as a whole. Do not blame Onana for his flops, Manchester United right now needs reformation, their defense, midfield, attack and team management as a whole needs to be fixed. Hopefully, they'd work on themselves and bring back the fighting spirit Onana experienced in his last teams.

 Well as for ManCity vs The Blues it's going to be a very tough game, ManCity are the favorites to win the game, but we've seen how Chelsea act very tough when they face bigger teams, they make it very tough for them to win very easily or score plenty goals, City would dominate the game no doubt and try to break Chelsea's defense like they normally do but I think there would be GG in that game, which means both teams to score.

Yes, it would be unfair to only blame Onana and people who give bad criticism of Onana should be able to assess it as a whole, not only looking at its bad performance but also looking at its good performance in the future after Erik Ten Hag made changes to players. It's no longer productive to be replaced with new players who can make better contribution and just focusing on improving the defense line will help Onana save Mancheater United goal.
I have never had bad thoughts about Onana or the future Manchester United because this club part a popular club and it will not be possible to continue to let this club get worse and all of this will have help from Erik Ten Hag, who last season managed to bring Manchester United to top the safest position to get champions league ticket and this season maybe Erik Ten Hag will do same thing.

Manchester City seems to be guaranteed to steal 3 points from Chelsea because Chelsea always can't beat the clubs above them.

Don't conclude that easily, football has a lot of surprised in store for everyone and there isn't any sure occurrence until after the final whistle. Based on form, Manchester city its expected to win with hate margin, but you can beat me witness that matches between Chelsea and Manchester city is always very competitive, enjoyable and tough. I look forward to an amazing display from the two teams and I'm not expecting anything from any team, rather I'm expecting a result after full time

Liverpool have quality players and a quality bench in support. I doubt their injuries will deter then from excelling. J. Klopp will do everything in his power to ensure the boys deliver. This is his last season, so he'll love to leave the club with some glory.

In terms of performance and consistency, Manchester City is better than Chelsea, although in the previous meeting Chelsea were able to hold Manchester City to a draw with a fairly large score, but I don't think Pep Guardiola will let that happen again at home because Manchester City is trying to continue to win. points so that they can continue to compete with Liverpool and Arsenal at the top because if Manchester City loses more points in this match then they will not be able to take over the place currently occupied by Liverpool.

The draw occurred when Manchester City played away and the key players were not yet complete. While currently Manchester City's players are complete and ready to return to strengthen Manchester City in facing the next match. I am sure Manchester City can win this match with a big score to repay the previous match, and Pep Guardiola will maintain a tight defensive formation because sometimes Chelsea can play aggressively and make things difficult for their opponents.
