I am happy someone have my opinion on that match because Liverpool just escaped being beaten by PSG who did all that was needed to win the match if not of luck and Liverpool goalkeeper Alison. If Liverpool play the same thing at Anfield, they may not be that lucky to escape being beaten. Arne Slot urgently need to come of with a strategy that will stop the shots that were flying from all corners when they went to France. If they become the team that are in the offensive, it will be much better than being on the defensive like they were.

And one of the problem that liverpool had was te fact that they underestimated psg and because psg was creating more chances than liverpool but it looks like they dont want to put in any form of energy in the champions league, there main focus might be the premier league since that is a already secured spot and they were even more lucky because to me that game might have ended draw and alison did a great job saving a lot of goals and if not for him they would recieve more goals, but eventually they are lucky to have been able to defeat psg so they will just maybe focus on there premier league because there lack of intrest is just to much.

Arsenal football team has excellent players who will give excellent effort in this match. Arsenal football team stats is wonderful in the table.  Arsenal team has 54 points on the table and Manchester United football team has very low position on the table and that team points are only 33 on the table and that team had 14 position on the table. Arsenal football team performance is not wonderful because that team could not win most of the matches because that team won only 2 matches out of 5 matches and that team lost 2 matches out of 5 matches and 1 match was lost by that team.Manchester United football team could win only 1 match out of 5 matches and two matches ended with draw result and 2 matches lost by that team.

Why do you think that? it may be that Manchester United's extraordinary players will also make great efforts in this match. We cannot expect anything good from Manchester United this season because they have won only nine matches in the Premier League so far. It is also a matter of seeing whether they will be able to play properly against the Arsenal football team. One thing to note is that Arsenal scored seven goals against PSV football team in the UEFA Champions League, that means they scored a lot in this match. So in my opinion they may win in this match, even I want to support them for this match.

Man United is safe and they wont be relegated im sure of that. The gap between them and Ipswich is just to large. They should focus on europe league and try and reach the champions league by winning that. For them i think this season is over in the premier league they cannot go up or down.

Manchester United is one of the football clubs with the most fans in the world but this season their ranking is very sad.

I really want the old Manchester United where they fought to the max and were full of calculations.

I don't know how long the crisis faced by Manchester United will last, hopefully this season they will win the Europa League so they can advance to the Champions League next season and at least save the team's finances.

I dont think we will see the old Man United for a really long time. They need to rebuild the entire team and give Amorim everything so he can build it from the ground up. Too many bad players in the team and they need players that can make a difference and currently they dont have a single player that can impact their gameplay

[WatChe]

There is nothing to expect from Manchester United this season, they have indeed performed very badly, even the number of defeats they have experienced is more than the number of victories they have achieved. In 27 matches in the EPL, Manchester United have only managed to record 9 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses. Likewise with the goal difference they have recorded this season, they have only managed to record 33 goals and conceded 39 goals.

And facing Arsenal in week 28, Arsenal is currently in very good condition, where in yesterday's match Arsenal impressively defeated PSV with a big score of 7-1 in the UCL. So in my opinion Arsenal will only be a nightmare for Amorin and the team, and most likely Man United will again swallow the bitter pill of defeat.

Meanwhile, regarding Liverpool, their performance has been unstoppable in gaining points, they are really in a safe position to relax at the top of the standings.

Arsenal made a record in Champions League history by becoming first team to score seven goals away from home in the knockout phase of the league. Both Man United and West Ham United have same number of victories, draws and loses in EPL so far but interestingly West Ham United has defeated Arsenal on Feb 22 by 1-0. If West Ham can beat Arsenal then Man United can also do that provided they play well on Mar 9th. Arsenal on the other hand can't afford more defeats to remain in contest of winning this season title.   

Liverpool next encounter is against Southampton, Liverpool has lost only one game while Southampton has won only 2 games. Liverpool are favourite for that game.

The point is too large because they extend their performance immediately Ten Hag left and ever since Amorim came as the new coach, from the 24 games he has played in the club, he has only managed to win 9 and that 9 came most from Europa League, I'm not sure if Premier League is upto 4. If they continue with this sequence, that gap they are using as shield of not gone to relegation is going to catch up with them and they are going to be in trouble.

The players are bad IMo, but Amorim has a problem too but who knows if the tactics he is trying to make the players used to isn't what the best for them. I have that fear too of seeing them in relegation but if they pass trough this bridge, there is chance next season to make things right again, if after next season and things doesn't go well, he will be replace. I'm not even sure the management will be that patient like they did with Ten Hag, they will make him pack up with immediate effect.

If the odds were different than I would say betting on United could make sense. However, 1.77 for Arsenal is a great return, you make a 77% profit from that "investment" so you are going to do a lot better. Is it possible at all that Arsenal may fail to win? Of course it is possible and of course we are going to end up seeing Arsenal losing or getting a draw, but for a 1.77 odds I feel as if the bet is worth it and betting is alright.

You could even parlay that with some other games and take a bigger risk but a bigger payout as well. There are rare cases were favorites get this kind of odds, so it would make sense to bet on Arsenal, since we usually see Arsenal get 1.40 or worse type of odds, 1.77 for them is a cool bet.

Tomorrow's game means a lot for Manchester City. If they beat Nottingham Forest away, they will move above them and into third place. I know that for Manchester City it doesn't mean much to become 2nd or 4th unless they are champions, either way they are going to the Champions League. But they will want to finish the league higher. They can say that even in our worst season we were 3rd. 
My local bookmaker has Manchester City winning odds at 1.70. We can understand that it's not going to be an easy game from odds. But against Nottingham Forest, who have been on a downward trend lately, City will take advantage of this situation.

Too many bad players in the team and they need players that can make a difference and currently they dont have a single player that can impact their gameplay

If in the end there is a courage to overhaul as a whole not only from the player structure but also from coaching and of course management then I am quite sure that even though it takes time but they can still regain momentum later but for now as long as it still cannot be done then honestly I doubt that in the end Manchester United can change quickly for now.

They try to change players and coaches too much without seeing that in the end the chaotic ones are above them but they don't see it as a mistake that in the end Mancehster United make the same mistakes every season.

There has to be a comprehensive fix for something like this but when they can't do the things that have to be done then in the end their performance will not be much different from before because after all they are currently there is no chemistry, no spirit of play and no harmony between players and coaches which makes their situation always worsen every season.

The old team can only be seen again if the new manager starts to do the needful in the team, he's trying to introduce another another method into the team which is not helpful in the team right now, he needs to bring in new players, introduce his style together with the old team, do away with some of the players that are not helping the team to grow after that I believe the team will become better again. Manchester United still have some good players but the bad players are affecting the good ones that's why the manager needs to do away with team so they can give room for good players to come into the team.

Full fixtures + odds (by DuelBits) for this weekend's round 28:

Nottingham Forest x3.66 Vs Manchester City x1.94; Draw x3.80

Crystal Palace x1.48 Vs Ipswich Town x6.00; Draw x4.75

Manchester United x5.33 Vs Arsenal FC x1.73; Draw x3.50
West Ham United x3.14 Vs Newcastle United x2.25; Draw x3.50

Nottm Forest Vs Man City should be an interesting one. Who knows, the result of this game could play a deciding role on who finishes in the 3rd place.
I think the City is most likely to win it and the odds are looking pretty decent. All they have to do is not be reckless in the defence.

You really can't tell for sure remember, is just so funny to see people making predictions about arsenal wining manchester united so easily without even having a second thought. Did you really think manchester united will be so lazy to watch arsenal gaining victory over them for the second time?

Manchester United performance might be so poor this season, but Arsenal playing against Manchester United won’t really be a easy match for Arsenal, the pattern which Manchester United will play will be a different one, and Manchester United might surprise us the same way they surprised us against Manchester city, nobody expected a win from Manchester United in the match.

If Manchester United will be playing against a weak them, then am not always having confidence in them, but now that they will be playing against a strong team, it’s not going to be a easy one, am not saying Manchester United will in the match, but even if Arsenal will win, it’s not going to be a easy one.

I don't think so. Manchester City really needs to secure top 4 in order to rebalance their finance and comply with the FFP rules. The money from playing at UCL is really helping them in this. If they missed UCL spot, they potentially face a sanction as they can't rebalance their finance to meet FFP.

Talking about the odds, pretty weird your local bookmakers give City far less than what stake give (1.90). However, i can't really expect them to have ez win against Nottingham Fores, though my expectation is kinda high in this game. The problem is that they're missing Ake for 10 weeks. I reckon their defense may be a little bit shaky, and draw to happen as the result.

The game most probably to end with 1 - 1.

Everyone have a problem they're facing, probably these elite teams in the EPL are going through alot already to even standing top. Manchester united headcoach, Ruben Amorim have another test to pass this weekend and his oppositions is Mikel Arteta. Amorim needs more time to blend but so you know, Arsenal are equipped with every potential players with top phase qualities. Everyone now believes Arsenal wil win Manchester United with ease efforts this weekend, because Gunners have proven themselves worthy to compete for the league title.

You're right, most of those players are not capable anymore. Because from team to time they don't even improve instead they keep falling. I still wonder why manchester united still choose to keep those players who are not capable of playing for the team, most people always think that the fault is from the side of the coach. But for me I don't think if the fault is from the side of the Coach, because there are alot of weak players in manchester united that is not supposed to be part of the squared. Yet they keep making use of them, The worst part is that they can't even give amorim the opportunity to do whatever thing he wish to do.

Although it is a bit difficult to win this match, three points are very important for Man City to improve their position and secure a place in the top four. Now it's time for Man City to step on the gas, even though the title is very far from their reach, but a win over Nottingham could open up the opportunity for Man City to finish as Runners-up or at least in third place. At least that was enough to prove they could fix things in a short time.

You are absolutely right Manchester United need to build their foundation of strength from the beginning or overhaul the team in a big way like what some teams have done. Management must sell many players and buy many players, such as Eriksen and several others who have not performed impressively this season. If you look at the strength of other teams, of course Manchester United is very far behind so that they are less competitive this season.

The goalkeeper may also need to be looked for another player because Onana cannot show his best quality like he did with Inter Milan. Maybe the defense line is the main focus of improvement because Manchester United is very easy to break through by their opponents this season. If you look at the front line, of course Manchester United must also look for young players who are more productive in scoring goals. I think Amorim can immediately arrange which players will be their targets in the transfer market next season.

Manchester City is the favorite to win even playing away tonight. Many observers say if the city is begin to revival it's moment to rise and show if they still club which is not to be underestimated, And the City shouldn't look upon The forest as a weak team also because from performance side, they are much better as a team who often competes in degradation zone. I guess this match will present an exciting match, because I heard Rodri as motor attack was back from injured and begin to practice. Many fans expect that guy play right away to improve their standing and may shift Arsenal's position. But we don't know yet, even if it hasn't been played, Pep would have prepared his strategy to overcome their counterattack.

[X-ray]

EPL is coming back again, and i'm very exciting to see how my bet is gonna work this week. I'm doing parlay, but only feel doubt with my bet on City's game. Although City is slowly going back to their form, they looked so shaky at defence especially when it comes to the late game.

I often saw them bottled their win just because being so inconsistent at the second half. it makes me think they may be repeating the same mistake in this game.

I'm still counting on them, but not sure if my bet is working in this game. let's see how it works.

Quiet with the talks of more time... what's important and lacking at the same time has got to be the tools and players who are ready to fight and play for Manchester United. Arsenal have found it difficult scoring in the last two games in the Premier League Competition but this game against Manchester United will be different,  they have not striker but I know they can still get a goal or two. I don't expect too much from Manchester United unless I see Harry Maguire and Manual Ugarte back in the squad.  Too much for Bruno Fernandez as well from SkySport but he has done more than expected in the Premier League Competition:

Not bad at all. 

I'm only doubtful about your last bet. It is quite a high risk for 1.30 odds you know. This big game might end in a draw as well. I hope it wouldn't be the reason of a loss for you.

Chelsea should be winning easily. Liverpool would even turn it into a show and score at least 3 goals by themselves.    Crystal Palace beat Ipswich earlier and I think they will do it again. Forest - Arsenal ended 0-0 last week but I think this one will end by goals from both sides.
