Sunday’s fixtures promises to be interesting. Liverpool and Manchester City will go head to head at Anfield. This match will be tightly contested. Liverpool currently are a more stronger team than Manchester City and will capitalize on the weakness of City’s defense to win the match. Manchester City on the other hand will want to prove a point in the match. Inasmuch as they are struggling, it will be unwise to underate them as they are more than capable to significantly cause an upset to Liverpool.

Arsenal's game at West Ham today I think was the only game in the English Premier League that I was interested to watch but tomorrow, almost all the English Premier League games will be worth watching for me. The biggest fixture tomorrow in the league will be Liverpool vs Manchester City as a lot of reactions have been pouring out because of that game and for me, I think the Merseyside club will get the better of the reigning champions.
Liverpool have unarguably been the best team in the league this season and playing at Anfield, I expect Arne Slot's men to defeat Manchester City

Arsenal regained their best form and performance, because when Arteta managed to make Arsenal have a good performance from the last few seasons in fact, as far as I remember Arteta was able to make Arsenal make and have a quick goal in the first half. At the moment, Arsenal are back in great form like that again and of course, if Arteta manages to maintain this kind of performance, then of course Arsenal will be a team that is able to compete well in the race for trophies. But at least, I think there may also be some key players who have returned from injury or something else, to successfully make Arsenal rise.

Arsenal knows well how West Ham played to take a 4-0 lead until minute 36. Maybe because of preoccupation with attacking so conceded afterwards.
the 1st half match was very interesting to watch because both playing opensive, and attacking each other, but because Arteta's strategy is better, and has stronger material squad, so that arsenal can overcome Westham easily.
if I look how they take a lead, Arsenal is seem become stronger competitor for Liverpool and Manchester City, but if they can continue to maintain it, if they still continues to be airy, and inconsistent they may passed easily by Brighton.

the 1st half match was very interesting to watch because both playing opensive, and attacking each other, but because Arteta's strategy is better, and has stronger material squad, so that arsenal can overcome Westham easily.

If I remember correctly 2 of their goals come penalty, and one of the reasons for that is because the keeper punches someone in the face. I think West Ham scoring 2 goals in a short time can make them score more if not for the second penalty. The second half is a different game, maybe West Ham doesn't find the risk to chase 3 goals worth it to avoid injuries. But yeah, Arsenal was the better side.

Anyway, I think we had so many penalties yesterday, which is surprising and probably the first time I have seen this in the Premier League for as long as I can remember. Especially the three penalties in the Bournemouth vs. Wolves game.

[ajanwalker]

If there is a flurry of goals in the first half of the match, do not think that it will continue in the same way in the second half. I don't know if it's the players' respect for each other or something else, but in such matches there are very few or no goals in the second half.
Let's not let one side concede any more goals. On the other hand, he probably thinks that we have scored enough goals, let's not score more goals.
Yesterday's West Ham-Arsenal match happened like this.
The first half ended 2-5. We thought that if the same situation continued in the second half, the goal record would be broken, but it did not happen. There was no goal scored in the second half. Arsenal won the London derby by different scores.

As United fan, I'd want City to win this game or share the spoils with them today,  I will want to see Arsenal win the league rather than see Liverpool  ( My arch-rivals ) win it.
They have issues with balancing the game and that comes from the absence of Rodri. When I look at how Pep Guardiola complains about his injured players,  I come to appreciate Erik ten Hag more for how he managed the injury crisis for Manchester United last season. Full-time draw is all I want.

An intriguing match, Liverpool are playing at home and are in great form, and it is very important for City to win because in case of a draw or defeat they will allow Liverpool to gain too big an advantage, which could leave City out of the title fight. In the match with Feyenoord it seemed to me that they showed their previous game, but then something incomprehensible happened with their defense and Guardeola needs to pay attention to this, because Liverpool is a team that will not forgive such mistakes if they are repeated.

Liverpool became a quite different team in the hands of Arne Slot, Liverpool's defense became stronger, and Manchester City even though they were not in too good condition were still quite sharp with Haaland still as the top scorer.
My prediction will be created several goals with both teams scoring, and underestimating City is stupid because City is still a City team with a good squad they can turn bad things around but Liverpool certainly will not let the situation become City's favour at Anfield.

The Red Devils got their first win with their new manager Ruben Amorim. It was a tough one though.    Bodo/Glimt made them serious difficulties. The defensive problems are still not fixed but it is early of course. They will need to get used to playing with a 3-defender formation first. Then this system will start working nicely hopefully.

Now the Everton game is next. Everton are far away from their good old days. At Old Trafford their chance is low. I hope Amorim will get another win here. 1.56 odds are nice enough for me to add to a combined parlay.

I'm seriously watching to see how Manchester United will cope in the match against Everton even though the later is not a major team that can be used to test a serious team because they are struggling to remain at the EPL this season unlike previous seasons that they are always at the middle of the table. However, if Manchester United are able to win the match, it will be a pretty good start for Ruben Amorim who is seriously under scrutiny.  I actually expect Manchester United to win the match to put them on the right track because winning have its way of motivating the players.

With what Ruben Amorim has done in Sporting Lisbon, I know everyone is eager to see how Ruben Amorim will perform at Manchester United, but I want you to know that Manchester United and Ruben Amorim will cope pretty well against Everton because Manchester United is playing from home, and Everton is struggling to win their matches this season in the Premier League. The match will be the third match of Ruben Amorim in Manchester United in all competitions, and I believe he is getting used to the Manchester United players and knows the tactic to use that will help him beat Everton at Old Trafford. I want you to know that Ruben Amorim is not under scrutiny at Manchester United because he was made the head coach of Manchester United and not the interim coach.

Although Liverpool is the best team in the EPL right now but we should not underestimate City by saying that City will lose in this match. Although the odds show that Liverpool will win but City also has a chance. Which means that this match will be determined by the performance of both teams when competing. So far City is on a 3-game losing streak in the EPL and it seems like they have problems in their defense. This will be very dangerous because currently Liverpool is playing very aggressively and has a solid defense. But anything can happen in the match because a team like City is not a team that can be underestimated.

Spurs vs Fulham (draw or Fulham)
Man United vs Everton (MU win)
Chelsea vs Aston Villa (Chelsea win)
Liverpool vs Man City (draw)

There are some interesting matches today but I'm sure everyone is waiting for the big match between Liverpool and Man City. I have a reason why I chose a draw in this match because I believe both teams choose to share points and will play carefully.
Although City is currently in poor form, Liverpool will not take any risks compared to ending up losing.
So both teams will play carefully without making mistakes so as not to lose points.

[Docnaster]

Tottenham Hotspur this season didn't have a good start to the season which is why many had already written them off for a place in the top four of the English Premier League table this season but in recent games, they've been getting good results and just last week, they got a 4:0 win at the home of the reigning English Premier League Manchester City. Against Fulham Today, Ange Postecoglou's men will want to to continue their resurgence to top form. I think they'll win this game and if they do, I believe they'll likely finish the season in the top four.  Do you think they'll be getting the better of their visitors or do you think otherwise? Let me read your thoughts

A really bold choice for the Tottenham - Fulham game.    Seeing Tottenham's odds @1.97 makes me uncomfortable honestly. However I still think they will find a way to win this one.

Manchester United just got their first win in Amorim era you know and I believe it is time to make the winning streak 2 games. I hope they don't struggle again.

Chelsea should be beating Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. Emery is in a really difficult situation these days. Aston Villa can't win for weeks.

And lastly, I also believe Liverpool won't lose but I think they won't even make do with a draw as well. Guardiola's team is still not convincing at all.

I think Spurs is in a very good mood after they were successfully beating City with decent score so i pick Spurs.

As for Man U vs Everton, Manchester United's odds looks very decent @1.66, playing at home, and they was bouncing after their win in Europa League. They will have a hard time to beat Everton, which is an away team. I think to pick Man United -0.75 makes sense.

The game between Chelsea vs Villa is pretty interesting. I remember the last time Chelsea burried Villa, yet i believe it will happen once again. So, i pick Chelsea.

The last game between Liverpool vs Manchester City is quite hard to predict. City was a winner last season. but they're just declining so hard. Meanwhile, Liverpool is getting even better under their new coach, Arne Slot.  They have not yet stopped their winning streak. My pick is Liverpool

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

The match between Chelsea vs Aston Villa team in the Premier League has already started. Chelsea team is leading by 2 goals so far. The players of Aston Villa team have not been able to score any goals in this match so far. In today's match, it does not seem that Aston Villa team will be able to score any goals because the players of Aston Villa team are a much stronger team than Chelsea team. We have seen that Aston Villa team could not do anything good in the previous matches, we are waiting to see how they will perform in this match.

So far, that predictions made by len01 is going smoothly, Tottenham couldn't defend the goal they scored and made it possible for Fulham to draw the match, they fought so hard and even created good chance too. I knew Manchester United would win Everton but the scoreline is suprising, Amorim's football is becoming more interesting as the week goes, the players are beginning to understand his tactics and suprisenly the ones we least expected where the goalscorers in the match. Chelsea outplayed Aston Villa, they're really improving and have found their way to the top of the table too bad Aston Villa is losing form and have really dropped. Liverpool and Manchester City would be kicking off soon, in their previous 5 matches City have won the most but based on Liverpool's form and City decline in form recently, the home team are the more favourites to win. Well we could see a draw cause City have really declined on the table and they'll fight so hard not to lose again.

All matches of week 13 have ended, except for the match between Liverpool vs Manchester city today which will be played soon, arsenal, chelsea and manchester united managed to win very convincingly today, while Tottenham actually had to draw 1-1 with Fulham, curently change in position in the standings has occurred quite significantly and made the competition between teams in top 4 zone is getting tighter, the Chelsea vs Aston Villa match, is actually my concern because both teams have a positive performance, but I didn't expect if Chelsea will win easily even with a landslide score today over Aston Villa.

Even judging Chelsea's performance against Aston Villa today,  Chelsea's goals should have reached 4:0 score line but,  N. Jackson miss used most of their opportunities to score more goals. Arsenal is ahead of Chelsea base on first to climb basis ,but re tied to point and goals.
Manchester City Match has already kick-started and Liverpool is currently leading in this very game,  Looking like City would suffer another defeat in the Premier League today,  if they failed to mount their guard in this game,  I kind of think that Manchester City poor performances has resulted in them losing a bit confidence of their quality and this will definitely create more problem going forward, If Pep Guardiola failed to act quickly or swing into action to rescue the club from this mess.

I hate to say this but Tottenham looks so garbage and mid-table team in this game. They have been declining so hard after their massive won against City. I think no excuses for their shitty performance. they completely dominated the game, but only created 4 big chances.

The reality check is that they are nothing without Romero and VDV. They were equal to the Fulham without their best players. I know some of their important players were injured, but it can't be used as an excuse.

They have a lot of players available in their bench, yet I'm questioning Ange's roster building skill. The draw is fair enough, but i'm not a fan for this result.

[Pandu Geddon]

Liverpool vs Man City match is quite tight. Liverpool managed to lead by 1 goal from Gakpo in the 12th minute. And now it is approaching the end of the second half but Man City did not get many opportunities to score goals. Moreover, Salah scored Liverpool's second goal from the penalty spot. Making the atmosphere worse for Man City.
If this result lasts until the end of the match, and Liverpool wins the match, then this result will extend Man City's bad results. There is something wrong with Pep's squad. He must be very uncomfortable with the results of Man City's last few matches.
On the other hand, Liverpool with this victory will be more solid at the top of the standings. And Man City dropped far to 5th position in the standings.
