United have surprised me in this game against Crystal Palace, after that penalty I honestly didn't see a way out for them but to comeback without any penalty awarded to them shows they have a different mindset towards these games especially with a few injuries on the team.

GG United, now waiting for a Mbeumo goal of it can land.

I’m much surprised too in this game, Manchester United were very poor since the beginning of the whistle and we all thought after that penalty it was game over for them but they found a back into this game and even went on to win it. 2 set piece goals performed the magic for them, games like this it doesn’t matter if you play well or not but getting all 3 points is what matters and that exactly what Manchester United did In this game. Well as for me I gambled on crystal palace to win at least a half and they did so I’m very much delighted on how the game ends.

Crystal palace home unbeaten run have been brought to an end, who would have believed it would be against inconsistent Manchester United. That has been Manchester United big problem this season, they have been so inconsistent and you can’t even predict which match they would even win.

Manchester United made a strong comeback. Crystal Palace took the lead with Mateta's penalty goal, but Manchester United played effectively in the second half, with Zirkzee and Mount scoring goals. With this result, Crystal Palace fell behind Manchester United.
They had started the season very well. They lost at home for the first time. There's no need to get discouraged. They can win their upcoming matches against Burnley and Fulham.

Manchester City secured victory against Leeds at home with a last-minute goal. City took the lead in the first minute through Philip Foden and went into half-time 2-0 up. Leeds United got more involved in the game in the second half and levelled the match in the 68th minute. Foden secured the win for his team with his last-minute goal, and we can say that City played better than their opponents. With this victory, City moved up to second place with a game in hand, raising their points total to 25.
Brentford hosted an out-of-form Burnley at home. We saw both teams play a rather dull match for a certain period. There were no goals until the 81st minute, but we saw four goals in the last ten minutes. Two of the four goals came from penalties.

It's the first half into Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match and first half is ended already and the score line is Crystal Palace 1 - 0 Manchester United, and the goal came from the penalty spot after Yoro rough his opponent in the box and penalty was awarded to Crystal Palace and it was taken by Mateta, but what surprise me is how he double tap the ball to score at first and the goal was ruled out by VAR and I was thinking maybe he won't take it again but he later retake the penalty kick and that's what has kept me wondering I thought the penalty won't be retaken.

Yoro will be the main culprit if Manchester United suffers a defeat. The mistake he made was interfering with Mateta when he didn't need to, as de Ligt was still there to break up Mateta's attack.
When Manchester United under Amorim dominates ball possession, it usually ends in disappointment. Take a look at Manchester United's previous matches against Nottingham Forest and Everton.

Regarding the first VAR penalty for Mateta, it was clear that Mateta had a double touch, forcing the referee to retake the penalty. Mateta bravely stepped up again as the taker, remained calm, and scored. 1-0 at halftime.

Manchester united is leading with 2:1 now about 80 minutes of the game but the issue there is that maintaining this score till the end of the game will be very difficult for Manchester united because they don't really know how to defend but it seems there moral has increased because they are dominating in everything unless expected goal and big chances but I think Manchester united can still manage to add one more goal to weaken the spirit of crystal palace. This win will help Manchester united step up in the premier league table if they maintain the score.

I really love how the match is going,though Crystal Palace is giving them pressure and they had an early goals against Manchester united,but even with that Manchester United is still maintaining thier points as they equalise, Manchester United is just moving gradually since after thier last match played against Brighton which resulted in thier victory, but since then, Manchester United is facing stagnant positions, went on draw with Nittgham forest and thier next match after that was also a draw against Tottenham Hotspur while Evaton beats them a straight winning, but now I can see a nice improvement on them in this particular match against Crystal palace.
Manchester United-2 Crystal Palace-1. Well played Manchester United.

They were more composed and very eager to win today, after watching zirkzee's performance, I kept wondering why Amorim didn't give him more playing time or wasn't he watching his performance during training sections? Anyways kudos to Mason mount, Bruno, Mbeumo and Amad, they were the ones with the best performance today and more reason why Manchester United won today's game.

 Well other players tried too but I think Mason Mount was more better and composed. If Manchester United's players can be this eager to win on every match days then I don't think other club's fans would see reasons to talk bad about the coach or team in general, I was so ready to troll some United fans after Mateta scored but it backfired, thanks to Zirkzee and Mason Mount.

They were able to turn things around in the second half, resulting in a win for Manchester United. I wouldn't have been surprised if they lost this match, as that's how they've been playing. However, they bounced back and took home three points from Crystal Palace.

It's a good result to boost their confidence, but usually, when they start to perform well and many people are betting on them, they end up repeating the same thing: losing again and again.

Manchester United surprised all of us today because if it were the previous Manchestwr United, there was no way they would have turned around a game they were losing in half time. I don't want to praise them much before they start disappointing us again but we must give credit to them today for a strong fighting spirit and for the fact that they defeated a big team like Crystal Palace in their home. If United continues with this winning mentality, they will surely qualify for champions league next season which may be a turning point for them.

MU has finished the game 2-1 against Crystal Palace. It's truly unpredictable performance by them. They unable hosted Everton who played 10 men at home, and now beating Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park. They also stop Palace's longest unbeaten home streak.

They went down one nil in the first half, but managed to score two goals to lock the game. The good thing is that Zirkzee finally scored for them after 364 days passed without scoring.

So many positives showed by them in this game. Especially when they never gave up even when they lose the lead. Congrats the red devil. You guys deserve it.

After losing 5-3 to PSG, Tottenham are in low spirits. They fell 2-0 behind within six minutes against Fulham at home. Turning the match around from that point on was difficult for them, and they couldn't manage it. Although Mohammed Kudus' goal in the second half reduced the deficit to 1, they failed to secure any points at home. I don't know what Tottenham's problem is, but we can say that they haven't been doing very well for the last two seasons. It wouldn't be unusual for them to add a few players during the transfer window to improve their performance.

The game was more of a test after loosing to Everton at home. For me I don't see Manchester United as a serious team. They always behave like they are intentional about not joining the title race. They had the opportunity to seal their place now at the top 4 but they chose to loose against a 10 man Everton.

This game too started with a bad lineup but I would say the defence was up to their task and delivered a good performance. Zirkzee finally found the back of the net after almost one year. The good thing is that they secured the 3 points but still, their performance in first half was not a good one. The squad is still too inconsistent and if they should qualify for champions League with this performance, I fear they may not go far. If they can keep the win steady, then it will be worth the signings. Thanks goodness for Bryan Mbuemo, he is going to be a good support for the team with the performance he is consistently giving.

The big day has come. Chelsea host Arsenal today! 

Another London derby ahead for Arsenal in such a short time. They have technically had a tough schedule recently but so far so good... They destroyed Tottenham and Bayern Munich both home!

However... People should still be aware that this game is still a difficult one. Chelsea are having their best season in the recent years. I still think they won't lose to Arsenal. Double chance on Chelsea @1.64 seems nice to give it a chance.

The London derby is always full of surprises, and both teams will be giving their all to win. Chelsea are slightly favored because they're playing at home, but Arsenal are on fire and their mentality is strong, especially after their big wins against Bayern. What's certain is that the match will be exciting.

This match will definitely be an exciting one honestly
Today we will see the both teams putting in their efforts just to have a win.
Chelsea is the favored side as we all know but anything can happen because in games like this anything can happen. We definitely hope for the best,  and I believe in Chelsea, they can win this match, they just need the right mindset and determination and also pray that luck is on their side, then they can win. Arsenal also is a not a team you should play with, they have been incredibly good recently but my prayers are with Chelsea 😀

That's football for us, were the unexpected and the unpredictable happens. Were we will think this will happen something else will happen entirely. If I'm not mistaken, today some of us already thought Crystal Palace was going to win today and that comeback was so unexpected. It was like a shock but I kind of like it. Manchester United needed to win so it can increase their confidence and at least take up the table.

West Ham is now a man down, Paqueta is shown the red card. Sorry to say but some players are just stupid. That was an avoidable red card but he still wanted it anyways. Your team is already a goal down and you still went ahead to compound their misery by making them play a man less in the remaining minutes. For descent he was given the first hello card, he should have just walked away instead he went pointing at the referee and he knew how well this is against the rules. Red card well deserved by him.

GG United, now waiting for a Mbeumo goal of it can land.

I had my doubts about the unconvincing Zirkzee, but he was the one who opened the scoring for United, leveling the score at 1-1 after J. Mateta's penalty. This wasn't Mbeumo's game, but Mount's. He was outstanding.
Bruno Fernandes, the primary creator behind Manchester United's two winning goals, surpassed Paul Scholes' assist tally. Bruno has 56 assists, while Paul Scholes has only 55, according to the official Premier League records.

Manchester United should have been in fifth place in the standings by round 12, but that's okay because United will take things one step at a time.

I wasn't also expecting such a reaction by Manchester United in this match.    Mateta could have scored more than that if he was more accurate first of all. The match could have ended in a different way for Crystal Palace.

But Amorim's side stepped forward by playing more efficiently. Especially I loved Mount's free-kick goal. It was really clean. He hasn't been used by Amorim for lots of minutes so far but maybe he can find more time from now on.

By the way I was surprised with Mateta's penalty being repeated. Did this rule change? I remember Julian Alvarez's penalty not being repeated for the same reason before.

Arsenal sit at the top of the English Premier League table, with clearly 6 points above. At Standford Bridge, Chelsea wouldn't not be intimidated by the Might of Arsenal. Both fans will turn up in their thousands,in readiness to support their Clubs. Chelsea have the home advantage since the game is being played at Stamford but that wouldn't  be enough to scare Arsenal from aiming for the three points at Stamford bridge. Arsenal have won against Big clubs away,so I don't think Chelsea is the favorite to win.

Liverpool have successfully to ended their losing streak because today they got valuable winning from West Ham and playing without Mo Salah who absent i can see Arne Slot have made several changes into Liverpool squad but this time his strategy was working well because finally Liverpool can return to the winning way however finally Isak have created his first goal in Premier league with Liverpool this season and hopefully this goal will restore his confidence and playing well for upcoming games and for other players i think they should be used this game to bounce back and got another winning in Premier league or champion league

[Woodie]

Liverpool finally managed to get back to winning ways thanks to Gapko and suprise package 📦 Isak   if this result didn't happen, Slot was going to be on the chopping board first thing on Monday!!

Btw looking at how results have come, I think it's safe to say punters have won this weekend because most of the favourites did get a result in their favour and very few upsets happened.

Aston Villa ✅
Manchester City ✅

Why are players always doing this, you fouled a player and you're the one acting as if you were the one fouled. That challenge from Caicedo was really dangerous on the Arsenal man. That was a reckless challenge. Chelsea has been playing well but what will happen now that they have been reduced to 10 men. The last time this happened to a fellow big team was against Manchester United and they lost. Arsenal has all the advantages now, they have an extra man to play against Chelsea for more than 45 minutes.
