I also expected Manchester City to win easily against Fulham because history shows that they usually win, but Manchester City ended up conceding 4 goals while visiting Fulham, it would have ended in a draw, but they managed to secure the three points. Chukwueze is enjoying his best moment in the Premier League, destroying Manchester City defenders with two amazing goals, it would be disappointing if Manchester City did not win the match after 1-5 in 54 minutes.

This was absolutely one of the historical games in the Premier League history.    When it was 5-1, I was like that's it! Manchester City were going to get a huge victory! But no... That was an insane comeback attempt by Fulham.

In the stoppage time they were nearly making it 5-5 too if it weren't for Gvardiol's crucial clearance. This is the best game I have seen so far in this league this season for sure. Now Manchester City secure their 2nd position against Chelsea for this week too.

There is something i noticed in Liverpool players since beginning of this season, the several matches that i have watched Liverpool played, i noticed that they pressure in which they put in to dominate every first half of any games, is not like the same as of second of any games, just just for a little recap of their previous match against West Ham, you will notice that second half is when they manage to score one goal and still West Ham was finding ways to score back because they reduced domination to be 50 -50 chance, so looking at today match with Liverpool vs Sunderland, for me no team should be consider to be a lesser teams as far as premier League is concerned, since Liverpool is always good in every of their first half, they should make sure that they are able to score more goals in every first half of any games so that they can still try to see if they can score in the second half of the game, because most of the lossing by Liverpool club is from the second half of their matches.

Today it's time for Arne Slot to make it a 2-win streak. He doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to strengthen his seat again. Sunderland is a really tough opponent no doubt. Don't forget their 2-2 draw against Arsenal home recently.

I also expected Manchester City to win easily against Fulham because history shows that they usually win, but Manchester City ended up conceding 4 goals while visiting Fulham, it would have ended in a draw, but they managed to secure the three points. Chukwueze is enjoying his best moment in the Premier League, destroying Manchester City defenders with two amazing goals, it would be disappointing if Manchester City did not win the match after 1-5 in 54 minutes.

As I said in my previous Premier League post, head-to-head record is never the only factor that should be taken into account.    I got what I expected from this match but the score was unbelievable surely!

Who would have thought the match would come to 4-5 from 1-5? Nearly even 5-5 in the last minutes. I really like the football Fulham have been playing for the last 3 matches. There is good progress.

Indeed, Man City won, and that's the main point. However, they conceded four goals, proving that their defense was just as weak in this match. Pep needs to evaluate this in depth. And you said it was unlucky, which could be because one of Man City's goals was an OCR goal by Ham player Sander Berge.

Manchester City's defense is indeed weak, and this presents a major task for Pep Guardiola to fix. If only the defense were solid, perhaps they could have won big. If Pep Guardiola doesn't improve the backline soon, it will be a major problem for Man City, as a victory that was within reach could be in vain.

By 54 minutes of the match Manchester City was leading by 1–5, everyone was sure that they were going to punish Fulham through their aggressive attack and solid strategy, but suddenly Fulham fought back and surprised with 3 quick goals at the end of 80 minutes toward 4–5.

Turning point and Manchester City fans were also shocked what the hell was going around how this happened, but Fulham is one of the dangerous side, and they can destroy any team on their day. Same happened with overconfidence Manchester City in this game but 17 minutes they kept their nerve and not let down for more damage, this gave them a win and chance of staying at the good spot. This year they needed to be having good result.

Manchester City had it under them but Fulham didn't stay for long, some match are funny, players you have been seeing all the time without regarding but one day you will see them become like a newly signed players because of what they did on the match, Iwobi Bassey and Chukweze, especially how Chukweze was becoming the hope of Fulham, when he carries the ball he beat everybody to attempt and he was forming how Manchester City uses to create a counter attack on there opponent because in all the balls the only person he was always aiming to give passes was there 11 man because that was were some of there goals came from, hope you saw how identical his two goals was because it came from the same way and he uses the same left foot and it enters on the same place of the post, imagine how Manchester City was shooting the ball away because of how tired they are on the Fulham while Fulham was wishing for more time.

[8rch7]

I knew Manchester City would win Fulham yesterday because Fulham has not won Manchester City since 2012, but i was absolutely in shock with the way Manchester City struggled with Fulham in second half, and if there were enough time after Fulham scored their 4th goal against Manchester City, Fulham could have surprisingly made Manchester City drop 2 points yesterday. If a team doesn't want to win the league title, then they do not need to win all their matches. But if a team wants to win the league title, they need to set a goal of winning all their matches so that they can be ahead of all the teams in the league to achieve their goal.

In premier league match, its first time for Manchester City have conceded 4 goals in one match after playing 14 domestic league matches and I am shocked how come The Citizen's defense easily conceded until four goals. Looking head to head Fulham never won against Manchester City since 2012 I think The Citizen should confidence for winning the match without conceded many goals but last night Fulham make the match most interested how both teams success scoring until 9 goals.

I can't believing the match statistic how Pep Guardiola's tactician always dominance ball possession but in this match get huge pressure from Fulham until success controlling the games. Indeed have conceded 4 goals but Manchester City scoring 5 goals and success securing three points keep pressure Arsenal still has one match more just 2 points remaining for awhile.

Liverpool has dominated Sunderland in recent years, but Sunderland is better this season. If they are going to win, this is their best chance. It's not easy to beat them at Anfield, but what teams have beaten Liverpool this season? Why can't Sunderland do it? They can do it too. Everyone was surprised when Nottingham Forest beat them 0-3 last time. Crystal Palace also beat them by the same score in the League Cup. PSV Eindhoven beat them 1-4 in the Champions League. All of this happened in the last month. So they are no longer unbeatable at Anfield. Even average teams can score 3-4 goals against them and win. Sunderland's chances are not as low as the odds suggest.

Sunderland is in good form so I can't say Liverpool will win them. Today we have more interesting matches and those who are predicting any team to win should analyse the games well before placing the bets. Arsenal vs Brentford which is another strong match to watch. Brentford is not also a weak and Arsenal should not underestimate them. As for Chelsea, they have to win their game but Leeds united is also good in this season. This should be a nice gambling night both the gamblers and those who will watch the games.

Liverpool is not in good form, the fact that they won their last game doesn't mean they are in good form and if I'm not saying this wrongly, I think that is how they have been doing, winning and losing and Sunderland their opponent is not in a bad form either I mean they drew arsenal who happens to be the strongest in England currently so Liverpool winning them will be very difficult if at all they will win Sunderland and arsenal will be hosting Brentford, with arsenal form they are suppose to win them easily but I think they drew last game so it may happen again.

Westham isn't really a tough opponent as they've been abysmal this season. They'll face a much tougher side in Sunderland. If they win against Sunderland, I think they can start to build on that. Also, the coach made a huge decision to bench Salah in the last game. I'm guessing he'll bench him again against Sunderland.

It was a real close one eve after been ahead with 3 goals advantage only to lose grip of it and was playing defensive. That's unlike the Manchester City team we used to know ever since Pep took over. After that shambles of last season, his not been himself. Back then who will actually play Pep then outplay his team I'm teams of possession. Even if you manage to win but you see that possession, just leave it for him. This Manchester City team still needs to improve more, just look at the 3 goals advantage the would have lost if that game had finally ended in a draw!

[Volgastallion]

What a joke is becoming this season of Premier League when i think the past one was a strange one this one still surprise me, is unbelieve how some games are being played or develop, yesterday was one of that games, how can Manchester City let go a 5-1 game, i mean i know it ended 5-4 and they ended up winning but how they can let it go this diference a  few years back this was impossible to think.

Sunderland position is above them i think this proven they are much better than Liverpool and the win result from Westham should be motivate Liverpool players to playing better but Sunderland cannot be underestimate because i can see they are in the good form and i can says Sunderland also tough opponent because while playing against big teams Sunderland seems hard to beated even recently Sunderland can draw from Arsenal and beat Chelsea

This season Liverpool has unique record because in Premier league until today Liverpool is the only team who didn't get draw results but regardless this record Liverpool should be able to maintain their shape and the game against Sunderland is very important for them because if they won their position on league table will be lifted up and i can says Arne Slot not in the good position because if Liverpool lost again today the rumour to sacked will be appears again

The Fulham - Manchester City match reminded me of a Chelsea - Manchester City one played under rain and ended 4-4. Once again a rainy day and Manchester City win by 5-4 this time. 

The problem for them is that they concede so many goals recently. 6 goals in 2 matches is just too much for a big team like them. Defensive problems need to be solved by Guardiola as soon as possible to stay in the race.


Today I think Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all will win. Especially Arne Slot needs that win so bad to gain more credit.

[Qastessa]

Two well-balanced sides in Premier League doing good in Champions League but sadly their performance in Premier League is not as they deserved both have same level of attack and defense, but their performance is lacking good coordination and better results.

Newcastle United and Tottenham final to end deadlock in 70 minutes of play at St James Park but in last 20 minutes good entertaining soccer from them bring good end of this game injury time goal from Romero give important draw to Tottenham as they are still winless in Premier League for last 5 games and their humiliating defeat against PSG is also bringing more pressure on Thomas Frank. Newcastle United is also facing problems, but Eddie Howe is confidence about his team's performance as they are doing much better in last few games.

What a great performances from the Fulham in their yesterday match against Manchester City. Because to be honest speaking if they told me that Fulham are going to equalize those goals that yesterday i won’t believe when Manchester City was leading them by 3-0 right from the first half, but with their much efforts they were able to equalize 4 goals out of 5: and if to say their still more time after they equalized their last goals I have confidence that they could’ve lead draw.


Concern Arsenal match tonight against Brentford it very important for Arsenal to fight for a win in other to boost their points in the top spot. Because currently now their points gap with Manchester city is just to 2 points this is the reason why they need to put in much efforts so that they can get victory over Brentford.

[NewRevelation]

The match between Fulham and Manchester city yesterday was a very surprising game, it's just the luck of games, if not Manchester City would have ended up disappointing me with thier unwanted performances. I couldn't believe Fulham would have a scoring opportunity up to a 4 goals in that match, after Manchester City was leading 4 goals ahead of them, Fulham performance was quite alright, because I wanted to concluded that the match would end in draw when I saw 4-5, but the Manchester City has were manged to take the lead and gain thier suprises victory against Fulham. I must thumb up for Fulham for thier performances.

I missed this match but from the replay I watched, it was really exciting.
The 1-5 score was created in a period of 53 minutes. Furthermore, in the remaining time, Fulham scored 3 more goals which forced the match to end with a score of 4-5.
If in the last 10 years Fulham can score one more goal, I believe many people will be disappointed and all Manchester City players will have to suffer this disappointment.

The Newcastle vs Tottenham match was also fierce. 4 goals with a score of 2-2 were created alternately until the final minute.

In today's matches let's see what Chelsea will play against Leeds united and  Arsenal vs Brentford.

We hope Arsenal can win over Brentford. In my opinion, Chelsea also has a good chance of winning this match.

I think for the match involving Chelsea vs Leeds, Chelsea has a %100 chance of winning. Leeds are not in a good form now and are not really playing well this season. So far, we have heard little or almost nothing from them. But Chelsea has been good, there players all coming back from injuries except for Moses Caisedo who picked up a red card last match against Arsenal. For sure, Chelsea will beat them very well. Also putting in mind that Chelsea is trying to chase down Arsenal and city who are at the top, so they wouldn't be joking at all.

On the other hand, Arsenal will be facing a serious match, Brentford I think is more formidable compared to Leeds. So they should be getting ready for a serious fight. Adding to the fact that Arsenal has lost there two centre backs to injury lately, and the team is presently waving, trying to survive the bad injury spale that has hit them recently. Anyways, let's see how it goes to night

[ingiltere]

If Chelsea win today, things will really heat up at the top. Leeds United have lost their last few matches and they need to end this poor run. Chelsea could be their victims. This is a match where mistakes won't be tolerated. Manchester City barely managed to beat Leeds with a last-minute goal just last 4 days ago. Now it's Chelsea's turn. Leeds United must earn points because they've slipped into the relegation zone. Farke actually has a good squad, they don't deserve to be in the relegation zone.

[Stormisover]

At first, the match was easy, as predicted, Manchester City would easily win when visiting Fulham's home. However, in the second half, Fulham's game completely changed, the match heated up. Fulham really played very persistently, successfully scoring 3 goals against Gianluigi Donnarumma, Manchester City was defeated by Samuel Chukwueze who was the star for Fulham in the match. Luckily, Manchester City scored 3 goals in the first half so they managed to lock in 3 points in the match.

I also expected Manchester City to win easily against Fulham because history shows that they usually win, but Manchester City ended up conceding 4 goals while visiting Fulham, it would have ended in a draw, but they managed to secure the three points. Chukwueze is enjoying his best moment in the Premier League, destroying Manchester City defenders with two amazing goals, it would be disappointing if Manchester City did not win the match after 1-5 in 54 minutes.

The Newcastle vs Tottenham match was also fierce. 4 goals with a score of 2-2 were created alternately until the final minute.

It was great that Tottenham managed to get a point against Newcastle, it was a tough game for the both sides. Before the match, I predicted that both teams will score goals, but I won’t be surprised if Newcastle wins because they also won their previous two games before playing against Tottenham. Tottenham did not give Newcastle a breathing space during the match, denying Newcastle 3 points with the last minute goal from Cristian Romero.

There was no way Fulham was gonna see even draw in that game they were even fortunate to have scored that much goals, like even if Manchester City drop in form I still don't see them drop to a point that they can't beat Fulham, despite how hard Fulham tried to show themselves at last Manchester City emerge the Victor, I still have this deep feelings that Manchester City will still get back to form and when they do I won't really be a good news for Arsenal as they will have to work more hard than they have worked already, I just hope Arsenal gather enough points to keep them moving during this time.
