Manchester United fans intend to finish in the top 4, unlike last season, when they finished 15th in the league table. If they dont qualify for the Champions League next season, it will be over 2 years or more since they haven't tasted a Champions League game. Bournemouth were better than Manchester United last season. They ended in 9th position. What makes Manchester United better than them this season? They are not the better side, I think Bournemouth should win Manchester United, forget past glories and focus on realty.

With the current performance of Manchester United this season they stand a better chance of finishing among the best 4 team in the league when that happens they will be better than last season cause they couldn't make it to the 1st ten in the league due to their very poor performance. Bournemouth can not be compared to United though they are not doing badly this season but as it is now you can't rate them higher than United because this season United will finish the league better than them.

The matchday tomorrow starts with the one between Newcastle and Chelsea. It's a quite tough away match for Maresca's team though.    Newcastle are one of strong teams in home matches in the league so far.

On the other hand we can say the same thing for Chelsea's away performance! Palmer is also back and seems to be in good shape. However still hard to predict how this one would end. None of the outcomes would be surprising but I hope for goals from both sides.

Amorim has developed this team great, and while they are still getting disappointing results at times, they are not getting it that much at all.

We should be considering their situation as very dangerous at the moment because they can do very well by the end of the season or very bad, we have no idea which one it will be. They have to play the second half of the season better and most of their opponents are in UEFA competitions, so they will have less games to play which could be some help for them.

They faced Man City at home and I also considered it tough game but it ended with three points for Newcastle at home,  I should have been worried with them if it was an away game but it is not. They have made good use of their home advantage to win crucial games.
Chelsea did well with Cole Palmer even played better and with Garnacho scoring twice during their last game against Cardiff, this should be a good game to see him in the starting eleven. Newcastle winning is a wise choice to make at the end

Don't know if this season Amorin will finish by being able to participate in the UCL tournament, Europa League or Conference League?
Their play is still inconsistent so it cannot be concluded that Amorin will do it all easily when the reality is not.

I'm curious how Man United will fare against Aston Villa as a team on a winning streak --- I'm here doubting the red devils, especially since some players are absent for the AFCON cup. I wouldn't bet on Man United that's the point.

Well matches like this are very unpredictable, and considering the poor foam Newcastle have been it makes it even more complicated to predict. Well it an early kickoff and we all know how early kickoff ends like, as a wise and smart gambler it best to just leave the game, don’t include it in your ticket in other not to feel regretful later.

Well I still think Chelsea have a high chance of coming out with atleast a point in this game, it going to be a very difficult one but they might get at least a point. Chelsea having cole Palmer and Moises caicedo in this game is going to be a huge boost in this game especially at that midfield where Newcastle like to craft their attacking threat.

I’m so hyped to watch this one and can’t really wait for it to begin. I guess we will be back here to talk about the match when it ended.

[emrecemsan]

Time for some PL action!

Even the first match looks pretty nice. Newcastle host Chelsea. It's such a close one but I don't think Chelsea will lose. Palmer should help his team get some points from here. The main event is Tottenham v Liverpool of course! I don't think Liverpool will lose as well and BTTS is very likely.

It seems De Ligt is injured, as he not even on Amorim roster.

Yes, it turns out he has really been injured. At first the source I looked at left it blank but now I see he's had back problems for a few of weeks. 

I'm on your side in this matter. I never thought United would reach at least the top three in the table because of their weak defense combined with midfield issues that sometimes come back to bite them. Probably Arsenal, Man City, and Chelsea will be the three competing for the trophy at the closing stage. Someone may point to Aston Villa^{who are in the top three right now,} but I regard them as accidental sitters there.

I wouldn't say Aston Villa are accidentally over there. They deserve their place for now with a lovely win streak of 6 matches. But I wouldn't just trust them in the long term you know. The same team started the first 4 weeks of the PL by scoring 0 goals...

The absence of three confirmed names is proof for Amorim to play the next few games with an unusual formation.
Aston Villa is a team that will subject Amorim to a lot of criticism if the final result fails to give Manchester United a win. There is always a fault to be found to frame Manchester United in a negative light.

Facing Aston Villa, who are currently on a positive run, if Manchester United can secure a win, I have no doubt that in the second half of the season, United will be considered a team capable of upsetting the favorites for the Premier League title. And next season, Manchester United could well be in the running for the title if Amorim remains head coach.

Newcastle is strong team, but they face waves of injuries. They even missed Livramento in this game, which must give Chelsea advantage to win the game. They always use physicality to harm their opponent, but hope Chelsea can give proper fight and win the game.

FYI, livramento has been so talented, and always had big contribution to the Newcastle. Missing him is obviously a big disadvantage for the magpies. If you ask me, which club to win the game. I think chelsea can win it even feel so struggle because i expect Newcastle to play 4321 with Woltemade upfront.

I agree with your point. Even though it is not always yet evident in the results, Amorim has obviously contributed to the team structure and mentality. They search deeper to be broken and they are more assured of possession, which is a step in the right direction. The irregularity remains to be of concern, though, as a single poor performance could turn the entire situation around within a short time. The reduced number of matches than their competitors in Europe could assist in them healing faster and concentrate and thus the second half of the season will be a decisive one to their long-term goals in the league in general.

Moving to another club is the right solution for Salah. He shouldn't stay any longer, lest his beautiful story at Liverpool be tarnished by the current situation. It's a tough move, but perhaps it's the only way to fix everything. A club is truly a family, but there are times when it has to step out of its comfort zone. If Salah still maintains his ego, I just don't want Liverpool to disappoint him.
It's better to part ways amicably.

We don't know is personal decision now because the media has not updated us yet about what he thinks his next action will be about considering going to a better club and will respect him and give him the privilege to start playing to his best again.
Liverpool had done him dirty and this is what many other players need to learn from and should not feel total dominion over a club that can exit them at any moment in time.

Manchester United Vs Aston villa game is definitely going be an interesting match to watch, Aston villa is third placed in the premier league table, and have had a quite a very stable form this recently, usually it won't be an easy task for the red devils trespass their opponent's defence line in this encounter, what Utd should do in that game is simply double down their efforts if they actually wants to defeat Aston in this game.

How can you compare Manchester United to Bournemouth, Lol. Please Don't go there because Manchester United is in better form than Bournemouth. Please check the standings and see where Manchester United, that should explain to you that Bournemouth isn't par with Manchester United this season. Last season, Bournemouth finish better than Manchester United but this season, Manchester United is in better form than bournemouth. Even though United isn't reliable there are better than Bournemouth.

Why are people looking down on Manchester united because of there inconsistent performance even up to an extend where people are even comparing them to Bournemouth that they are even writing Manchester united off against Bournemouth because bournemoth where able to secure a draw on there last game.  I don't blame any body comparing them, all my blames goes to Manchester united as they allowed themselves to looked down on for reasons best known to them. All I know is one faithful day Manchester united will get back to there long lost glory

Even as the premier league season has not ended, Manchester United is better than last season because Manchester United is currently 6th in the premier league standings, and it is a good sign that Manchester United has really improved their performance this season, annd Manchester United will have a good chance of finishing in a champions league place if they stablises their performance. If it were last season, Bournemouth can be compared to Manchester United because they were even better than Manchester United, but this season Bournemouth can't be compared to Manchester United because Manchester United are performing better than Bournemouth.

I agree with you that Chelsea has hope in this match because Chelsea is currently, playing like Newcastle in the second half. James has canceled one goal to make it 2-1.

Chelsea is playing aggressively, and Newcastle cannot meet up to their pace. They look pretty good with their playing style this second half while Newcastle is looking shaky and I expect an equalizer from Chelsea soon.

I am very certain that even though Chelsea does not win this match, they are going to draw the match which is going to surprise many people that have lost hope in Chelsea that they are going to lose because New Castle was able to score Chelsea with a two goals at the first half. I already bet on this match for the outcome to be at least 3 goals and we have seen that, waiting for another goal.

[yudi09]

Newcastle in home is gonna win against Chelsea, Newcaslte now how to playa gainst this big teams in his home, i know they are not gonna have Dan Burn which is a starter and brings a lot in defense and with his height but Chelsea is not playing good right now, with all this i see Newcastle winning.

That's not the case. Newcastle, who were leading at 45 minutes into the first half, conceded two goals to Chelsea in the second half before the game entered the 70th minute.
I predicted that Newcastle would win when they were two goals ahead, but now I predict that Chelsea has a chance to make a comeback because there are less than 20 minutes left in the game as of the time of this post.
After Reece James opened the scoring for Chelsea, Joao Pedro made a difference that sparked Chelsea's players' enthusiasm for a comeback.

In the other good game between Aston Villa and Manchester United i see Villa winning against United.

Your prediction about which team will win—I share the same prediction as you. Aston Villa won't have much trouble facing Manchester United.

And here you have it, the game finally ended in a 2 - 2 draw and the goals you have wished for came through. Yeah, it's not been easy for Chelsea playing away against Newcastle and come out in top, it's always been a difficult journey for them. Before halftime when Newcastle were leading 2 - 0, I was like, that's it for Chelsea, second half Newcastle might add 1 or 2 more and Chelsea might always score 1 or goals. I was sure Chelsea was going to score at least one goal. My surprise came when Chelsea equalised and ended up playing draw. Good one for Chelsea.

Chelsea could have won the game if Garnacho had scored those late chances he had. It was a good game all round though with James making a great tackle late in the also. Just hope he can be fit for long to show what he can do.
