Dont ask me why, but i can see the first win from Postecoglu Nothigham Forest  against Chelsea, i know they are like trash right now but somehow they are gonna manage to win against Chelsea, Chelsea players are gonna comeback from the international break in a sleep mode, and Forest fast football can make damage to them.

Lol I will.assume you want to be sarcastic about the whole thing because their is no way that Nottingham Forest will defeat Chelsea. It is unfair and as a neutral I will hope they manage to get at least a point from Chelsea but the reality is that they stand no change to get even a point from the match.
It is true that after the international break a whole lot can happen in football but honestly speaking I don't see how Chelsea won't take advantage of the opportunity to cash in all three points against Nottingham Forest.

It is very, very difficult for MU to win. Liverpool is playing very well, their players have complemented each other a lot, although in football everything is probable and surprises can appear at any moment. I think MU should play much better. I think the team did not do what it should have done and it is a matter of restructuring to get out of the very bad streak they have been dragging on for the last 3-4 seasons.

I just checked the game now and the odd that is given to both teams I doubt it Manchester United crn defeat Liverpool I their home ground, Liverpool is not playing well at the money they are without a win in their last 3 matches but facing another defeat in front of their fans I don't think they can let it happen because Manchester United is not a big threat they don't have a standard team at the moment so they can resume their winning against Manchester United. Manchester United should go for a draw but if they are lucky to get a win that means they performed very well.

Well I can bet my money for sure that Liverpool is definitely going to win this game despite their slow and poor form in the past few games. The record that is showing between these teams can't even make you think of playing Manchester United to win at all, as for the odds given I think even the bookmakers favour the home team to win the game. The match is one filled with lots of goals so let's see if they can replicate similar figures as before.

[DYOR+BTC]

Manchester united may have been in bad form this season narrowly securing just 10 points in 7 premier league games with  9 goals  and are at the 10th position in the league table but considering Liverpool favorite to win in there next game against manchester united I don't see that coming. Judging from there previous game against Sunderland, you will see a little improvement in there  tactical display, more adaptability, full dominance and improved performance from all angles making a win easy for them against Sunderland, and with the way things are going I strongly believe they will maintain such qualities against Liverpool which will enable them win against Liverpool

[Mehmet69]

It's true that Liverpool team is in a better place than Manchester United,  but I still believe it's going to be a very interesting match, at least it's what I am expecting.  I think Manchester United have a very good attacking players, but they have problem defensively,  which play to the advantage of Liverpool.  I watched Manchester United premier league match against Sunderland and I cam say that's their best performance this season and they will definitely want to build on it.
Liverpool has conceded goals in almost all their match this season,  so if Manchester United can put themselves together,  they might just get a result against them, but I will rather bet on goals than any of the team to win.

Yes, you are right. Although Manchester United's attacking players have performed very well, their defense is weak. So Liverpool is going to get a big chance in this match. Since the team Liverpool will give their maximum performance to maintain their place in the point table. So I will support Liverpool in this match.

After the international break, the Premier League is back this coming Saturday, with the full fixtures being as follows:



The most exciting match could be Liverpool Vs Man United. Liverpool has suffered 2 league losses in a row, which caused them to lose the top table spot to Arsenal, so they have something to prove to their fans. Man United's performance is always a question mark. They tend to mix decent games with poor ones. Their last league game was a home win over Sunderland, but it's been a long while since United noted 2 wins in a row.
Statistically, a draw seems unlikely, as both teams have demonstrated more of an "all or nothing" approach in the first 7 rounds of the league. Liverpool have zero draws so far and United only have one.

I have no doubt that Liverpool are heavily favored to win this match, even though they've lost in a row. However, if we compare their situation to Manchester United, they're still in a much better position. They'll also be playing at home in this match.

Their last meeting ended in a draw, and if we're talking about Manchester United's only victory at Liverpool's home ground, as far as I remember, it was in the 2021 FA Cup (correct me if I'm wrong). So, it's clear that many people are making Liverpool the top favorite in this match.

Manchester United vs Liverpool match is a must watch, Liverpool has indeed suffered two straight lost in a row and won't stand a chance to repeat that this weekend as their fans should be expecting more from them comes this weekend, but the question is can they be able to deliver? Because they're not in a very much good form as it stands, and Manchester United on the other hand always find it difficult to secure two straight win, so should we see this game as a draw game? Because it's quite really difficult to predict, it's been long now since Manchester United won Liverpool so could this be they only chance of doing that since Liverpool has lost form, but I think Sunday has the answers so let's wait till then.

Chelsea usually lose to the least expected teams so I wont be surprised if that happens. Nottingham Forest rested most of their players as only few of them were invited to the national teams so that gives them an edge against Chelsea players coming back with tired legs from the international break.

Postecoglu can't afford to lose this game it would be really bad for him, he's a terrible manager but his job depends on this game.

Chelsea has not been doing well lately but that doesn't mean nothingham forest will defeat them, I know football can be crazy sometimes but nothingham forest winning Chelsea I don't think that will be possible the least they can play in that match will be draw and in case you have forgotten Chelsea is not the club that always lose to unexpected teams I think you are mistaken Chelsea to Manchester united because Manchester united are the people that always lose to unexpected teams most of the time and currently they have been so poor, their performance is nothing to write home about.

It's true that Liverpool team is in a better place than Manchester United,  but I still believe it's going to be a very interesting match, at least it's what I am expecting.  I think Manchester United have a very good attacking players, but they have problem defensively,  which play to the advantage of Liverpool.

We might be looking at Liverpool of now with an eye from the past. The team this season has been surviving with a great deal of luck, having those late goals that would mean 3 points for them but, lately luck has ran out on them and Ekitike which has been some force behind these late goals isn’t in good form, Salah has been under performing all season and the Liverpool backline isn’t what it once was.
Manchester United might not be their better but, they could manage to still a point if not all 3 points come next weekend, I don’t see them loosing.

Liverpool will be playing at Anfield against Manchester United, and we're certainly more confident that Salah and his teammates will beat Manchester United in this match. Although Liverpool's performance in their previous two matches hasn't been great, they'll be working hard at home to get back to three points.  Liverpool's attack has been subpar this season, and I hope Arne Slot can overcome that against Manchester United.

For Manchester United, the match against Liverpool is certainly a tough one, but nothing is impossible, given Liverpool's inconsistent form. Amorim can rely on Sesko, as he has found the confidence to continue scoring goals, as he did against Sunderland.

Liverpool haven't been in their best form so far, although I admit their performances on the pitch have been relatively organized. 3 consecutive defeats are proof of Liverpool's ineffectiveness, conceding 5 goals and scoring only 2 in 3 matches. Their defense has been well-concentrated in most games, but lately I've noticed gaps that the opposing attackers can almost always exploit to score. If it wasn't for Alisson Becker under the goal, I think Liverpool would have conceded more goals in the last few matches, fortunately Alisson Becker was able to perform great as a goalkeeper.

Even though Liverpool are favorites at home, it's always possible for them to drop points. Manchester United are certainly inconsistent, but they've managed to put in some impressive performances, including their winning over Chelsea. If Liverpool don't want to lose four times in a row, then there are things that need to be improved.

Manchester United performance is just so terrible, I don’t think even Amorim knows how he will fix Manchester United current problem, he has tried different strategies but things are not working, he already signed different players, but immediately they joined Manchester United, their performance dropped, Manchester United performance is just terrible, I don’t know how they going to fix their current problem, because I don’t even know who to blame.

Liverpool will be playing against Arsenal in their next match, it’s going to be a interesting one, I just hope Liverpool won’t end up humiliating Manchester United in the match, I don’t know why some Manchester United fans has the feeling that they going to win Liverpool, with the way Liverpool will want to take over the first position from Arsenal, they won’t joke with any match right now.

Manchester United's victory over Chelsea was well-deserved, in my opinion, because United were playing at home.
But is it possible for Manchester United to pull off a surprise away against Liverpool?
I think that's highly unlikely, and we all know Liverpool have consistently secured wins at home this season, and they also benefit from the support of their fans, which can lower the United players' mentality.
From the head to head, we can also see how Liverpool have the ability to beat Manchester United even when playing away

[BlackBaron]

As of week 7, Manchester City is still stuck in fifth place in the standings. I doubt they can compete for the title this season, or if they have already regressed since selling many of their star players.

So far, they have suffered two defeats, and even dropped points against Brighton. Their weakness in depth is clearly evident. They have a good striker and a highly qualified goalkeeper, but when they have a bad day, they drop points.

[MK-74]

Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres are among the most expensive forwards in the Premier League, with a combined value of around €200 million.
However, I believe their individual contribution to their national team has been almost zero.
They failed to make any impact in the World Cup qualifiers and were eliminated after losing to Kosovo tonight.
For players with such high market value, I think they should have at least influenced the game.
In my opinion, Arsenal and Liverpool overpaid for these players.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Dont ask me why, but i can see the first win from Postecoglu Nothigham Forest  against Chelsea, i know they are like trash right now but somehow they are gonna manage to win against Chelsea, Chelsea players are gonna comeback from the international break in a sleep mode, and Forest fast football can make damage to them.

It will be difficult not to ask you how because Nothigham Forest  is not in good shape so how will they manage to win against a Chelsea team that defeated Liverpool is what I don't know because Chelsea players will want to take the game as a bonus seeing that their opponent is in the bottom of the league and they have managed to win just one match since the beginning of the season, if they manage to best Chelsea the coach of Chelsea be sacked losing the game since he lost with one of the worst performing teams this season. Football is unpredictable let's see how the international duties of the players is going to affect them from winning against a team in poor form.

Wish football works this way though. Defaeating a stronger side doesn't translate to defeating a weaker one. Nottingham Forest are in a rut and that could fuel a good performance from them against Chelsea. Also, lots of players coming in from international duty too. Chelsea are the clear favorites though.

Both players have really been poor with their performance, they’re not playing at their best, I was just wondering why they’re not able to score goals for their country, because they are two expensive players, and they really cost a lot, would I say it’s because of the poor management of the coach, because the coach is always at fault when a player isn’t playing very well, this are players that should have a very good individual performance, and why are they playing so poorly, Gyokeres is struggling to score goals and also Alexander Isak is also struggling to score goals for their country respectively, that makes me wonder are they really worth the price that their respective clubs bought them, this days players are very expensive and they end up not playing to their best.

It's true that Manchester City has not been at their best recently and they are in 5th position right now, so most of us don't see them competing for the Premier League this season.  I kind of agree with it, but I think this might play to their advantage,  because nobody puts them in contention for the Premier League,  which might take a lot attention away from them and we should not forget they have the best coach in Pep. I will not be surprised if they pop up as contenders for the Premier League as the season goes on.

[Nightwatchmare]

Yea, at least Manchester United were able to get a win but a two wins in a row will be very much unlikely, after Liverpool has experience three defeats in a row and now their next game after the break will be at Anfield. They will be fighting to get back to winning ways and I expect United to lose the game or at best savage a tie which will even be difficult looking at the over all team strength against each other.

Don't you think that Liverpool experiencing 3 defeats in a row will give Manchester United the morale to face Liverpool and get a good result from Liverpool at Anfield? When Liverpool lost back to back, i was thinking they were going to bounce back to winning ways against Chelsea because Chelsea were also struggling, but i was surprised how Chelsea gained dominance against Liverpool and beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool players have a more busy schedule than Manchester United players, and i think it will give Manchester United players enough time to prepare for Liverpool.

The fact that i was also among those who thought my team won't defeat Liverpool shows a reason why Manchester United might not be getting all three points at Anfield.

Liverpool men are not the kind of team that will want to remain in a losing end even if they are being stressed or facing difficulties. They have a strong winning mentality to bounce back and they know they do need it especially at their home after losing three times in a roll away. They are among the team with a better winning mentality in Epl and this is good to bounce back, looking at their squad depth, notably attacking wise.

What if your belief in Liverpool vs Manchester United game goes opposite? If it were last season's Liverpool, i would have accepted that Liverpool will bounce back against Manchester United, but i doubt this season's Liverpool will defeat Manchester United at Anfield, because any team that doesn't play a low black game for Liverpool this season always becomes difficult for Liverpool to beat. Arsenal played better than Liverpool in the first half, and Liverpool couldn't score any goals against Arsenal, but when Arsenal played a low block game in the second half, Liverpool was lucky to score a goal against Arsenal.

Liverpool is no exemption to Manchester United surprising teams and clubs better than them. I will put in for you not to underrate them. They can do the most annoying and surprised wins when it matters. This game is that game to show that. Liverpool might be miles ahead of them currently but they are also not as good as people rate them. The head to head shows that Manchester United can get a draw or a win in this game. It will be a super Sunday. As for Chelsea against Nottingham Forrest,  the both sides need the win to quiet the noise around them. A draw will help them together.
