United have a good record against big teams. They can make surprises. But in this match United lost many important players. This is a problem for Ten Hag. Arsenal has the motivation to maintain their hopes of winning the EPL trophy. United still have a chance to get fifth but I think it will be difficult. It could be said that United did not have any motivation in that match and that could make them play without pressure. I can't pick in this match because United could spring a surprise. I think the match will end in a draw again.

Some of these name I'm seeing above are currently training but Erik Ten Hag has no plans if forcing them into the game when they're not even completely ready.

Marcus Rashford was seen training, Anthony Martial back but has been doing some light training sections alone, he should be ready for the game against Manchester City during the FA Cup Competition Finals.
Tyrel Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Scott MC Tominay already back training with the club, but I'm not sure the first and last names mentioned are Gon be available for now. Lisandro Martinez also should be ready against Manchester City. I don't give double fvcks about thengame against Arsenal, the most important of them all is the Fa Cup finals finally. Erik Ten Hag has to do everything to do that game indeed to end Pep Guardiola's Era! I cannot wait to experience that moment.

Just like he'll always say, no club or team would have done well with the number of Injury crises they've had this season.  And also these players needs to be sold of for better players who wouldn't complain about intensity and stuff.

Arsenal should make sure they win, I'm not expecting too much goal though, if I did yesterday, then I was all joking. Manchester United is not in a good place to get draw, the list they will see is to score a goal against Arsenal. Nothing good about facing big sides, Mikel Arteta should fight for his place he needs to win the Premier League Competition.
Not too much goals for the game tommorow, maybe a narrow win would be more like a Manchester United 1and 3 to Arsenal.

This game is still a big match even though Manchester United is having a bad form. The sense of rivalry would always be intense in every big match between two historical rivals. Manchester having a good record against big teams is a proof that the sense of rivalry has always been a boost for the morale of the players to play with determination.

Arsenal have been in their peak form lately, they won games with big margin of goals in the last some games. They still the favorite to win this game, but playing at Old Trafford is never easy for Arsenal even when Manchester United having a bad season. Arsenal have a bad record against Manchester United at Old Trafford, but this season, Arsenal is having a different mentality, winning at Old Trafford shouldn't be a bigger challenge than keeping their hope to stay in title race. 

All that remains of Man United is their big name, but not their performance, and I think the match against Arsenal will be another nightmare for Man United. Previously I also thought that Man United would be a stumbling block for Arsenal but after seeing how Man United played against Crystal Palace, all of these thoughts seem to be completely wrong. Man United will have no chance of stealing points from Arsenal, even they will be lucky if they don't lose by more than 2 goals to Arsenal. The conditions of the two teams are completely opposite. Arsenal is on fire and they have very high motivation to win, while Man United is slumping.

I actually viewed the probability of both team and to my biggest surprise the chance for Arsenal winning against Manchester United is so big. I don’t know if all this happened after the crystal palace game but, definitely Manchester United lost their respect and chance after the game, aside home benefit, I do think home benefit cannot save United from Arsenal cause I believe Arsenal don’t want to miss this one last chance proving their strength. It will be so funny if Arsenal never get to win Manchester United after all their opponent and tough matches they’ll need to defeat Manchester United.

It will be so funny if Arsenal never get to win Manchester United after all their opponent and tough matches they’ll need to defeat Manchester United.

Seeing the condition of Man United losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace seems to be easy for Arsenal. But I think not, Man United are working hard at the moment they don't want to lose points again. It's going to be tough for Arsenal. Arsenal are wrong to underestimate Man United. This game could be a problem for Arsenal, they could have dropped points. I think Man United can get 1 point in this game.

I agree with you. United's performance was really bad. Even though sometimes they can surprise by beating big teams or holding them to a draw, such as holding Liverpool to a draw and beating Aston Villa who were at the top of the standings at that time, the data shows that United has no chance of winning against Arsenal tomorrow night. Arsenal beat United in the first meeting with a score of 3-1. I think they will score with a margin of more than 2 goals. Arsenal is motivated to win every game to maintain their chances of winning the EPL. And they have been in good form in the last four matches.

Snip.

I think Man United can get 1 point in this game.

The Manchester United vs Arsenal match is one of the most exciting matches this week, both teams need to win for their respective interests. Arteta will try to field his best squad in this game to get three points because he is fighting in the title race with Manchester City. Arsenal must bring home three points from Old Trafford if they don't want to be knocked out of the title race. Manchester United wants to get out of its downturn after being humiliated by Crystal Palace last week, Ten Hag certainly doesn't want himself to be hated by Manchester United fans even more because of the bad results his team continues to achieve, the game vs Arsenal is very important for him to bring Manchester United back to winning ways.

Meanwhile in another match, Manchester City will face Fulham who are ranked 13th. Manchester City performance is still very stable, allowing them to beat Fulham easily, especially in the first match between the two teams this season, Manchester City managed to beat Fulham with a score of 5-1. Manchester City has a big chance of taking over the top of the standings from Arsenal because they will face a weaker opponent than Manchester United.

Premier league title race Fullham travel to Man City today by 12:30pm and Arsenal travel to Manchester united tomorrow by 4:30pm I think if arsenal could be able to win their match against Manchester united tomorrow they will be in safety because they are going to won their remaining match against Everton, while Man City is going to won their match against Fullham today.

Many doubt Manchester United's ability to provide balanced resistance to Arsenal based on the results obtained throughout this season and most tragically when they were humiliated by Crystal Palace 4-0. The rivalry between the two will continue, but judging from the depth and solidarity of the two teams, Arsenal is far superior to Manchester United.
Maybe there will be a surprise in this game due to the embarrassing defeat that Manchester United received in the previous match. Ten Hag must be able to unite all his troops to give their best performance in order to protect the club's good name from the bad results obtained by its rivals. Arsenal will certainly try not to drop points in this game, they are competing with Manchester City in the title race and really need a win to maintain their chances.

Manchester United can not get any points from this match, and I’m very sure that Arsenal will win the match, Manchester United was beaten by Crystal Palace with goals and we are still expecting the same Manchester United to win or end draw against Arsenal, that will be very difficult for Manchester United, Manchester United players are not in good shape most especially the defensive line, Manchester United defensive line is not complete and we can see that is why Crystal Palace beat them like they were a team that is just coming out from relegation to play in the premier league this season.

Arsenal will never lose against Manchester United, even if Manchester United players are back from injury they can not beat Arsenal because Arsenal is in the process of fighting Manchester City for not allowing Manchester City to win the league title this season, although it will not be easy for arsenal because Manchester City is not going to lose any of their last matches they have but let wait and see what is going to happen at the end of the season and see who is going to win the title.

Premier league title race Fullham travel to Man City today by 12:30pm and Arsenal travel to Manchester united tomorrow by 4:30pm I think if arsenal could be able to win their match against Manchester united tomorrow they will be in safety because they are going to won their remaining match against Everton, while Man City is going to won their match against Fullham today.

Fulham vs Manchester City. The last time Fulham was able to hold Manchester City draw on September 18, 2011, after that Fulham was completely unable to take 1 point when they face Manchester City both when playing home or away. The question is, is it possible that in the midst of Manchester City's ambitions to win the Premier League title this season they will be careless when facing Fulham? I don't think it will happen.

I actually worry about Arsenal to win the match against Manchester United even though in terms of interests I don't want Manchester City to win the four -season PL Trophy in a row.

I share the same view with you on this, about Arsenal being able to Win Manchester United in their fixture while Manchester City plays with Fulham. I don't think Fulham can beat Manchester City because their last 5 fixtures was a straight win for Manchester City over the Fulham club. Fulham never had the opportunity to win both home and away and now that the ManCity guys are more prepared, one won't expect anything less.

As for Arsenal vs Manchester United, I also see the last fixture against both teams and Arsenal gave them a 3 over 1 win. Will Arsenal be able to replicate the same efforts in tomorrow's game is what I can't say but hope for Arsenal to achieve to as to further accelerate their winning streaks.

I think Manchester united against arsenal is going to be a though match for arsenal because I didn't believe that arsenal is going to won Manchester united tomorrow on their home grand is not possible the best result of the game is just draw. Already so far now in the premier league Fullham and Man City is already 1 goal down in 14 minutes against Fullham.

Well, from what I know and would like to say, Manchester united are not currently in a good form, so, if Arsenal were or are to capitalize on that, I would say that Arsenal have far better chances of beating Manchester united in their coming encounter, except if Arsenal themselves fail to prepare well for the game, or maybe all of a sudden, they lose their own form as well.

I personally think tottenham is stronger than Manchester united as of now, and if Arsenal were able to beat tottenham, then I see no reason why beating Manchester united should be or appear difficult for them.
And speaking of the current game between Manchester city and fullham, Manchester city besting fullham is what I expect to happen, any other result like the game ending in a draw or fullham winning is not realistic and can only happen by luck.

[emrecemsan]

He is one player I love and I will never dislike him even though I have always had this strong dislike for a club like Chelsea in the Premier League Competition. ( Although I support them during Champions League Competitions )
Cole Palmer had been everything you want to talk about for Chelsea, the driving force, and also being instrumental for Chelsea this season.

It is really difficult to not love a player like this man.    His being a versatile player is a big grace for Chelsea. I believe that Palmer is the best transfer Chelsea has made in the recent years.

I don't think it is exaggeration too when we look at their transfers like Mudryk and see how useless he is. They spent around 100 million euros with bonuses for this guy. 

Most people will say his goals are from the spot kick but all that do not count, all that matters is that he scored those goals for his club to solve issues is all that is important now.

Palmer scored 9 goals by penalty. But this shouldn't be used to overshadow his pure talent. If one has ever watched him play they can't deny the fact. 

I can't wait to watch Cole Palmer in the coming Euro's.

Southgate has given him only 2 chances and he didn't even play for 45 minutes in total. But after this fascinating performance I'm sure Palmer will be getting a lot more chances. If he still doesn't then Southgate deserves to be blamed.

Arsenal is motivated to win every game to maintain their chances of winning the EPL. And they have been in good form in the last four matches.

I think if Arsenal respects their opponents, they will win. Right now they are a team with a good foundation and will win this match. If Arsenal score an early goal, this match could be over before half-time and that is what they should be aiming for. In case MU attacks, it will be a delicious bait for Arsenal to take advantage of.

Arsenal will have to try their best to win this match. The challenge here is the level of the opponent, and the ability of each player as well and the head coach. Therefore, the Gunners will have to play very focused and alert if they do not want to receive more 'bitter consequences' at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's team is causing great disappointment. But Old Trafford is always a big challenge for Arsenal. I'm not sure about Arsenal's chances of winning. Football always contains surprises, crazy things that we don't expect.

[boltz]

For a moment I really believed that Fulham will be able to snatch 1 point from City but in the end they had 0 chances to score , 1 red card and only 1 shot towards the goalie ...which means City literally played at 110% against them in order to take 3 vital points for EPL title fight.

Now , it's Arsenal turn to do the same but facing United should be an easy win right now because United doesn't have the power to fight against Arsenal.

Arne Slot looks set to become the next Liverpool boss

source: https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-dressing-room-arne-slot-29135024#

I have seen this in multiple places that this is definitely going to be the new coach of Liverpool. But I think Liverpool has actually taken this decision a little too quickly. I definitely should have waited a little longer and tried to bring in someone else as the new coach. Maybe Alonso could have been one of the best choices. But I believe he was not available. They could also look at Zidane.

I don’t know how the new coach is going to do with Liverpool. But I really think that there was no such hurry from Liverpool to actually make this decision. They could have waited a little longer. Maybe they have really good faith in this coach and they do not have any doubt that he is going to be the perfect successor of Klopp. But I have seen a lot of people doubt that. And I will also be lying if I say that I do not doubt this decision as well.

Yes I have also seen this news all around the internet. Doesn't it look like they are in a hurry? I mean Arne Slot hasn't proven anything to be selected for the job this quick.    As for Zidane, I don't think he would accept the offer. It still doesn't look like he wants to manage a team except French national team. They have spreaded rumours linking him with Manchester United and Juventus recently but I don't think it will happen either.


Manchester City finished off Fulham easily by 4-0. The thing that impressed me the most was Gvardiol's performance by 2 goals. 

Have you noticed how incredible he is recently? He has started to take responsibility in even the attacking area. His shots are like we are watching a striker instead of a defender. 

[X-ray]

It will be so funny if Arsenal never get to win Manchester United after all their opponent and tough matches they’ll need to defeat Manchester United.

Seeing the condition of Man United losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace seems to be easy for Arsenal. But I think not, Man United are working hard at the moment they don't want to lose points again. It's going to be tough for Arsenal. Arsenal are wrong to underestimate Man United. This game could be a problem for Arsenal, they could have dropped points. I think Man United can get 1 point in this game.

It appears so. We'll also see if Manchester United will make a comeback against Arsenal but the chance for this thing to happen is very lesser for united. Arsenal currently outperforms Manchester United in every way and it's still also in a very good state as well. The club is likely to lose by a narrow margin against Arsenal soon but who knows if manchester united will be lucky enough in the upcoming game. The simplest option is to select Arsenal to win the game or total over caused by united may not able scores a lot in the next game.

There will be a lot of goals scored in the upcoming game between Arsenal and Manchester United. Arsenal may be owning the game again. It's obvious that betting on Arsenal is the best option for the upcoming game. Arsenal will be able to beat Manchester United once more. Things have been going so badly for United since the last game.
It keeps losing three points, and this could continue until the match against Arsenal.

Now , it's Arsenal turn to do the same but facing United should be an easy win right now because United doesn't have the power to fight against Arsenal.

The game between Manchester city and fullham today is a disappointing one for me personally, in as much as I celebrate with the Manchester city fans for their winning, deep down in my heart, I wished they had lost the game, or atleast, it ended in a draw, not for the benefit of fullham, but for the benefit of Arsenal who are currently in a fierce fight with Manchester city for the title, Manchester city are currently having a better chances of winning the title again this season, and this is because Arsenal had at some point wasted a game that was important, and right, they are shot of one game which would have atleast, given them an equal chance with Manchester city.

And speaking of the Arsenal verses Manchester united game that is coming up tomorrow I think, Arsenal sure have a better chance of winning the match, but we still can not underestimate Manchester united, Arsenal still need to prepare very well and play a very good game if they must win, else, they just might mess up.

[Litzki1990]

Arsenal has very very easy two games, they are going to definitely win both of them (and if they don't, they do not deserve the title anyway lol). However, the only problem for Arsenal is that Manchester City is not playing anywhere else at the moment, just one FA Cup finals game down the road, and the games they have left do not look like all that great neither for Arsenal. West Ham? 9th in the league at the moment. Tottenham? 5th, so maybe? Fulham? 13th in the league.

So as you can see maybe Tottenham could, or maybe a shocking thing will happen but I feel like the possibility of three out of three is a lot more likely at the moment. This is why we should consider how the teams could get even better in most cases, that should be the point and City is at the top.

Well, I think the two remaining matches of Arsenal is not going to be that easy for them, because this Manchester united against arsenal on Sunday is going to be a though one for arsenal because one thing about all this big clubs in England premier league is that when they jam together it is always difficult to predict the winer, however even if arsenal won their remaining matches I think they will still wait for the out come of Man City before they will think of taking the premier league title.

Arsenal have been performing consistently since the start of the season and they must perform well in the remaining few matches of the season. If they fail to perform well in the last few matches then the good performances they have had throughout the season will be worthless. At the moment, Arsenal's toughest opponent in the English Premier League is Manchester City. Arsenal may have to compete with Manchester City until the end of the season and the competition until the end of the season will determine whether Manchester City or Arsenal will secure the title. Liverpool had chances but Liverpool couldn't capitalize on those chances as they have had some poor performances of late.

Actually for quite some time now Arsenal performance was really good and if you check their remaining matches I think is only Manchester united that will only give them a though time because if they can be able to beat Manchester united on Sunday I think they are going to beat Everton, however just like I have already said earlier wining their remaining 2 matches is not the problem, the fat is that can man city be able to lose one of their remaining 3 matches?

Arsenal should beat Manchester United with the way they are currently performing. Compared to other matches, the match against Manchester United is very important for Arsenal, in that case, Arsenal may enter the field with a complete plan to win against Manchester United.

Arsenal and Manchester City have played 36 matches each where Arsenal is two points behind Manchester City after 36 matches. With two more games to go, Arsenal will not have much of a chance unless Manchester City lose a match or pick up full points. Arsenal must win the next two matches as well as they have to look forward to the Manchester City match if Manchester City lose either match. If this equation of the game comes to this stage and Arsenal lose the title to Manchester City then it will surely be a matter of great sadness.
