the arsenal managed to win:



With this victory, Arsenal is provisionally at the top of the league and this puts more pressure on Liverpool, who tomorrow will have a very complicated game against Manchester United. Although they are not yet strong, they seem better to me than last season, while Liverpool seems worse to me than last season. Knowing that last season when these two teams faced each other, the game ended in a draw, so I will not be surprised if tomorrow's game also ends in a draw and this would harm Liverpool, but at least a draw is better than a defeat.

Arsenal's recent win has certainly put pressure on Liverpool, especially with the upcoming match against Manchester United. A draw would be a fair outcome given the teams' current form, and it would be less damaging for Liverpool than a loss.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester United is expected to be intense, with both teams looking to secure crucial points. Given their head-to-head records, a draw seems like a plausible outcome

I knew it was going to be a difficult game for arsenal, fulham are fond of playing defense when ever they on their home ground, arsenal on the other hand did their best to score multiple goals but that didn't happen..trossard scored in the 58 minute, I'm not sure they would have had another opportunity to score if he had missed that goal...I'm glad that they are still occupying the first position

[Balmain]

Arsenal were content with one goal today. Arsenal scored again from a corner kick, and Arsenal were incredibly lucky with corners today. Running play failed to produce a goal, but Arsenal managed to score again from a corner. Trossard hasn't scored for a long time, and today's corner was his goal. This was good for Trossard, as it had been a while. Arsenal remain top of the table.

These little hard fought win is very important in securing the title and it's something very supposed champions of the league must know how to do because there are going to be day's when your efforts at playing won't really matter much but the goals that you scored and defended because securing the three point in the match is more crucial than anything. Congratulations to arsenal for winning and staying top of the league but the next game now should be there main focal point now.

Chelsea got a really smooth win but João Pedro couldn't make any score contribution once again... It is his 4th league game in a row that he doesn't contribute in this way. 

João Pedro is a new player so maybe he needs more time to adapt, on the other hand I see João Pedro has contributed on the assist yeah he has 3 assists so far, not bad right? I think it's just a matter of time and maybe he will contribute more at the right time.

He's a good player just being unlucky with the whole injury situation at the club, their best creator has been injured and off for many games now. The chemistry between him and Palmer was great but since Palmer's injury he's been struggling to keep up.

Well, it doesn't matter, they won the game without his contribution and he did his best in his little way.

Liverpool vs Manchester United match is going to be a interesting one, we are just coming back from the international break, so let’s see how each player is going to perform in their matches, Liverpool performance dropped before the international break, they lost their last two premier league matches, I just hope slot will have fix things, and Liverpool will get back to their winning streak. Manchester United performance has been poor since beginning of the season, and am not expecting any changes from them soon. So I believe Liverpool should be able to get a win against Manchester United tomorrow, they just better than United.

The journey is still long, and many obstacles will stand in arsenal way of winning the title. I'm not surprised that arsenal are performing well this season, But can they maintain their lead until the end? In fact, last season, Arsenal also led the table for a long time, but lost control as the season approached its final stages.

Therefore, arsenal must be vigilant to avoid dropping points in the coming matches, as City are starting to make moves to close the gap. If City start to show competition, Arsenal must be cautious and continue to pick up points. Haaland has found his best form, and he even performed impressively in today match. He continuing to make an extraordinary contribution to his team's three points.

The possession of the ball on Arsenal didn't attract Fulham to leave the defense and face them so they were just there and Arsenal was with the ball. Liverpool can only rise in three points if win and anything different from it Arsenal also keeps some difference in point. Manchester City also celebrated this wining from 2:0 defeat, apart from only one match all the Sartuday premier League teams saw full point because of all the wining while Crystal Palace and Bournemouth was the different ones because of Bournemouth who was 2:0 clean on the first half but allowed Mateta score hard trick on them, it was almost over before the penalty of 97 minutes came for crystal palace and there was 3:3.

Arsenal being at the top of the league I don't think come with the same pressure as when Liverpool or Manchester City are occupying the top of the league. Arsenal are just placeholders as far as I'm concerned so winning and maintaining the position isn't a big deal. Liverpool having lost their last three games are under intense pressure to defeat Manchester United tomorrow to keep their title hopes alive and if you ask me, I think the Reds will get the better of Manchester United tomorrow.
There's a possibility of a draw but I doubt that Arne Slot will want to allow Manchester United get a result that'll help more pressure on him. He needed the international break to restrategize and I strongly believe that he'll make good use of it and return to winning ways again

[topbitcoin]

Big clubs as expected to get a victory in the EPL continued in week 8 this time but there are indeed some similarities that are quite visible so far where several clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City do almost the same pattern where their second half looks much more dominant than the first half and it is clearly good enough because 3 points were successfully secured.

It's just a problem for Chelsea that they still can't anticipate until now where the red card again adorns the end of the match.
This is the 4th red card in the last 6 matches Chelsea have played in all competitions conducted. Im quite surprised why they always make the same mistakes because even though they get the victory in the match but of course this red card shows that they are still having problems especially with fouls that are not really necessary.

Arsenal did themselves a huge favor by winning that game at all cost. They were the better side from the start of the game, until towards the end. Fulham failed to have a shot on target today, making arsenal to go two games straight without conceding a shot on target from their opponents, which is a clarity of how tough their defense is. There is still something missing in this arsenal team, and I guess it is creativity. Having more than two creative player in a team isn't a bad idea, so Mikel Arteta might have to look into that.

They are sitting at the top with 3 points clear. They've got two other big teams to play against, which is definitely going to be a massive test for them in this title race.

I didn't know that Arsenal won narrowly. They must be so lucky to record  a narrow win. At this time, what is most important in the 3 points and they have secured it to be at the top of the table.
Liverpool after their excellent performance last year, they reinforced their team and we expected them to even do much more than they did last, but it seems that things are starting to fall apart, age is catching up with Salah and VVD. Let's wait for the miraculous turn around.

So I believe Liverpool should be able to get a win against Manchester United tomorrow, they just better than United.

Yes, I'm also sure Liverpool can beat Manchester United tonight. But, considering that last season MU was able to hold on at Anfield, possible that the result will happen again if Amorim implements impressive movement. Arni slot must watch out for Amad and Dalot, that guy will be the driving force from the wing, then pass the ball to attacker, Mbeumo. but on the other hand, MU also vulnerable on defense, if Arni implements a quick counterattack, that possible Liverpool will win with big score atleast 2 different points.

[Velvet78]

Pedro could not be productive without someone who could assisting him like Palmer. This the reason why i'd prefer to see him play as an attacking midfielder instead of striker when Palmer injured. Just look at the first half when he's playing as a striker, it's an awful game. Things better when he moved down, and played behind Guiu as AMF.

I think João Pedro shouldn't be Chelsea's main CF. Instead he is better off with being SS. If you have noticed, he has made his biggest score contribution in that position. He can't do anything as CF because he isn't a natural scorer...

This is why I believe Chelsea should look for a real striker to play right in front of him. Trust me, in this way Chelsea can be even more deadly in the attacking line. But for now their general scoring is not bad of course with 16 goals in 8 games.

The area they need to improve first is their defense right now.

[₿itcoin]

Amorim really said, "We need everyone to have a good season".  Like stop the cap bro. We all know what kind of a season you guys are going to have . last season you have finished on the 15th position &  in this season you have played a few matches &  you are on the 12th position. Improvements are yet to be seen  in my opinion.

Honestly, I dont know what it is. Is it the fault of Manchester United coaching staff? Or the players? Or is it just the weather and the food?

English whether is very famous for being gloomy &  the food is also not the best. At least the tastiest dishes are not generally made in England that I can say. We have seen players who have performed great in the previous club absolutely perform like a clown when they start playing for Manchester United. Also Manchester United have changed coaches &  players, but nothing seems to work. Its like they have been cursed. Deep down Everyone can feel that something is very wrong and its probably not just the coach or the players

Unfortunately, Liverpool has been a team with serious problems in attack and defense, while Manchester United are a disaster, but they manage to score goals frequently. Now they are the official lineup:



and I sincerely hope that this time the new attackers become useful for the team. They cost Liverpool a lot and I don't see what they are doing usefully at Liverpool. The team shouldn't be in this situation with this high-level squad. I don't know what the hell is happening with Liverpool's players, but I hope they wake up early because the other teams are at the top of the table.


It seems that Aston Villa is recovering very quickly, they are managing to win games and are climbing a lot in the table, I won't be surprised if they are in 6th place in a short time, unfortunately Tottenham lost today, even when they scored the first goal of the game early.

Everyone believes this match will be an easy win for Liverpool. Man Utd are so bad that bookmakers gave them a 5.00 odds to win. Even after they beat Sunderland, nobody believes that United are back to winning ways even the fans find it hard to trust the team.

Manchester United are already leading by one goal at the beginning of the game. They are playing relatively well today. In football matches, surprises can come at any time, so it is not possible to say in advance which team can win. However, the players of both Manchester United and Liverpool are working hard to snatch victory, but it is not possible to say which team will win yet.

I'm a bit surprised, Manchester united seems to be putting a lot of pressure on Liverpool even though they are supposed to use home advantage and also considering the fact that united only has a 15% percent chance of winning this game made me feel like Liverpool was supposed to win in the first half. Scoring just in the second minute into the game is crazy, I don't think Liverpool is coming out of this one

People are beginning to get surprise by Man united performance at Anfield stadium in the first half, Mbeumo had to score from a difficult corner to give Man united the lead after two minutes of the match, though we can't conclude now that Man united will win since there is still 45 minutes remaining a lot of things can happen in the second half, if Man united can be more careful and make good use of any opportunity in the second half they will get 3 points at Anfield stadium.
