Usually Crystal Palace always make it difficult to play at home but last night they had to fall to Manchester City who were completely helpless... I doubt City won this time Pep managed to convince many people.

When the opponent is Manchester City, then you should be ready for any result at home. Especially when Manchester City is ignoring the bad times and stepping into the good times.

We also saw Manchester City's great form at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, where Real Madrid is considered a very strong team at home.

Haaland's great form has made Manchester City even more devastating. They have created a position in the Premier League from which they are able to fight for the title.

it was indeed a very poor performance from Tottenham, their defense and everything about them currently is poor, Even though they didn't make any effort they also lost some of the chances that they had. Nottingham Forest really took football fans by surprise because no one expected then to win with such a goal difference. Tottenhams loss was unexpected, they have really lost their form

The Tottenham match for yesterday was not favourable at all because what we expected to see was not what we saw. Tottenham cut many people's bets due to their poor performances not being able to score a single goal. It was too bad for the team and next time, I will be careful when adding Tottenham to my bets so that don't have to see similar results again.

In a few hours, Manchester United are going to host Bournemouth at Old Trafford... First a reminder, the Red Devils lost their last 2 home games against them by the same score. 0-3.

This year's team is at a better position in the standings despite still not being consistent. Bournemouth has gone down very sharply in a short time. I think Amorim's students will win this game by a small margin.

It was a mistake from Woltemade who headed into his own net. Lol
Sunderland are still pretty good with their promotion team.

On the bright side, Woltemade didn't pass this game and scored!    By the way this must be like the most boring game of the week. 0.30 xG vs 0.24 xG. Just a waste of time to watch...

There's something about Manchester city when they decide to lock in and step up their game,  they have been losing this season but now they have finally worked their way to the top. city are now aiming for the title and from the looks of it they might actually be a threat to arsenal. Their win against real Madrid was also impressive, I honestly didn't expect them to win that match but they did

[Sandra_hakeem]

Delighted with the three points but concerned with their performance. Possibly the worst I've seen them play since Arteta took over. If they play like that against anyone else, they will get battered. Arsenal had a scare against the bottom team, what is wrong with them? In terms of performance, the title race is still open to anyone.

Their first half performances were extremely alarming. No sense of urgency and no one is taking charge. This controlled form of play is not working and they need to let the boys be more creative.
If Arsenal want to win the league, they can't let their opponents have the ball in injury time, especially when they're only leading by one goal. This has happened countless times, and arsenal must learn from it.

Sorry for your loss and that of your friends but as a gambler there a game I mean team you should avoid to play or add in your ticket because of their underperformance. Tottenham Hotspur is among the teams that are not consistent in their game but sometimes they form so serious especially when they are playing with bigger teams. There are team I have decided not to be adding in my ticket even though they are playing against the smallest team because I don't trust them.

Manchester city is really at its form this season and any club that is facing them should be ready for a tough game. The match between Manchester city and crystal palace was something most people was thinking that crystal will win Manchester city or that that the match will be a draw. The possibility of Manchester city winning premier league is very high unless arsenal fasten up there grip.

Nottingham forest had a really good game yesterday, winning Tottenham in the end scoring 3 goals with Spurs having none of theirs. It was a really surprising game as I certainly didn't expect Nottingham forest to score that number of goals amd go on to win the game. I particularly liked the 3rd goal scored by Sangaré. It was a lovely goal.
Spurs didn't really have a good defensive performance and it was clear in that game. Nottm forest fully used that to their advantage and had amazing home win. Spurs didn't have it in them to muster some sort of motivation to even score 1 goal. Not nearly an impressive performance from Spurs.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Hugo Ekitike lighted up Anfield with two goals in a very  remarkable way. The boys played well overall, Florian Wirtz, Mohammed Salah, Allison and Federico Chiesa and all others deserved this win. This is Football in the Matrix at its best!
Isak wasn't there for any of the counters they had and players like Van Dijk (even as a defender) were sprinting past him.

But I am really happy with the win. This was Liverpool in their first five games; they were sloppy, but winning. The losses started coming when he was benched for Isak, who wasn't ready to perform. I would suggest Isak be benched for now as having ekitike as the striker is enough. He has speed and agility reminds me of prime Torres in some way, he's good at dribbling,and strong in the air, if Ekitike continues this way, he will undoubtedly be in Didier Deschamps's first eleven for the World Cup 2026.

It's really beautiful to see City back again to the what they used. This is the City that i know. They scored three goals against Palace at Selhurst Park with cleansheet. Pep is truly building a new legacy by having Foden - Haaland - Cherki as his new trio.
They played so calmly, though a bit struggle during the first 35 minutes, but can break it down in the end. All of them are balling in this game. Importantly, they finally revenged all of team that gave them lost last season. It should be marked as a Champion performance.  

This is a sign that Manchester City has gain back their beautiful moment, honestly last season was so tough for them which I was saying that that pep Guardiola will leave because the team just changed suddenly to a negative Direction. Indeed this Is a great come back for them because it lead them to have two points interval between Arsenal who are currently at the top of the table. With this massive comeback, Arsenal is really in big trouble because with the way arsenal is performing now they are seriously in danger, but let's see, since the season has not ended we shouldn't conclude early. because they normally perform very well up to the end of this season but for a very few matches they lose form and that is how they lost their trophy.

The other mega surprise was Sunderland taking the derby against Newcastle.

One of most underrated derby so far. In my opinion Sunderland vs Newcastle is even hottest than Manchester derby. You know how Sunderland even marked Newcastle as a visitors in their scoreboard.  

It was the first derby in a long time but it's always a good rivalry and it was the most epic derby so far for me in the EPL.

They changed the scoreboard, Sunderland also did the same thing where they took a photo with the fans after their win and this is of course to mock their rivals who always do the same after a game and win.
This really shows a very good situation where hot derbies are increasing again in the EPL after we know there are a lot of derbies that occur.

With this result also Sunderland again destroyed the momentum that Newcastle just wanted to create because previously they did 4 games without defeat and Sunderland destroyed that.

Playing at home to Tottenham opponents is very difficult it adds to their burden, their mentality has decreased significantly this season, their game is bad, I think there needs to be a massive evaluation because they lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest which incidentally they are not so good also this season, but all of this depends on Frank as a coach, whether he is able to bring changes to Tottenham for the rest of the season or not, if not most likely they will be relegated quickly, their performance is very bad will continue like that, the spurs must be patient this season because Tottenham is not like what was expected before being able to compete well.

Something seems to have happened to Arsenal's form. They've suffered consecutive points losses in the Premier League, and their victory against Wolves was a stroke of luck, with a goal coming in injury time. They almost dropped points against the bottom team in the league and would have been level on points with Manchester City. Manchester City have been on the rise lately and are playing very well in every match. They've achieved consistency, and their team dynamics complement each other well. While Arsenal started the season well, they aren't doing so well now. Therefore, we need to discuss the possibility of Manchester City overtaking Arsenal by the end of the season. If Arsenal wants to win the championship, they need to be as consistent as Manchester City.

We're three hours away from the last game of the match week 16 in the English Premier League. Manchester United host Bournemouth and the above is the match preview if both teams. In their last five games Manchester United have drawn two games, lost one and won two while for Bournemouth, they've lost three and drawn two. Looking at the statistics, Manchester United stands in a better position to win the game and considering that they're the host team tonight, losing the game or dropping points I think will be a very surprising result. What's your takes on the game? I want to read from you

It feels so  good to see my club back in form, we really suffered last season that we had to fight for the top 4 spot in the Epl. We where getting beaten home and away last season. Everything that happened last season was because of  Rodris injury which destabilized the team. But the team has a good squad depth after an incredible signing was made this season. Arsenal needs to be careful and make sure they don't lose important matches, they need to keep up with their winning consistency, if not 22/23 season might repeat itself again.

[1kodumtek7]

There are less than 3 hours left for the match. It could be an interesting one. Because Manchester United couldn't beat them in the Premier League since May 2023. That's too much for me.

But the positive side for Amorim is that his opponent isn't having a good season. Actually Bournemouth looked decent at the beginning but the point losses started to come like raining. I think Manchester United will by a close score such as 1-0, 2-1 or so.

I don't know why but no matter what anyone says about Manchester United I can never too certain especially when it comes to a team that is capable of winning or have been winning them for some time now. Although Bournemouth isn't having a good season they can still shock Manchester United and crawl up their faces with so one or two dirty tricks that can lead to them securing the win.

I wassurprised when Tottenham lost to Nottingham Forest, because Tottenham has been very poor lately and they are also very to predict. Nottingham Forest on the other hand have been playing better lately, although I wasn't so sure that they will win the match and I wasn't sure of Tottenham winning either, so I just played over 2.5 goals, because I believed that there will be goals in the match. Tottenham is not a good team to bet on winning,  because they are very hard to predict.

[Ndabagi01]

That's the real City when they perform with the full squad. They're good in attack and defense. It's not even Palace could beat them at Selhust. It raises my expectation to see them lift EPL again after their terrible season. They will be back again as a super team. They only need time to build deeper chemistry and composure.
So far i really like their composition.

Manchester City are playing a very great football at the moment and with the way they perform on the field, they’re going to most likely win the premier league this season and fight to overtake Arsenal at the top. The English Premier League is a very competitive league and no team can be looked down on as it is now. You have to be at your very best and perform optimally in order to stay at the top of the table. Manchester City is a very top team that when they roar, you’ll be trembled as their opponent because defeat is most likely certain for you.

Sorry for your loss and that of your friends but as a gambler there a game I mean team you should avoid to play or add in your ticket because of their underperformance. Tottenham Hotspur is among the teams that are not consistent in their game but sometimes they form so serious especially when they are playing with bigger teams. There are team I have decided not to be adding in my ticket even though they are playing against the smallest team because I don't trust them.

Tottenham Hotspur happens to be one of the most unserious team in the premier league and have not being really consistent in their game. Even games they’re suppose to win, they’re most likely going to lose the game or even end up in a draw. I don’t have much hope in them, no wonder they almost ended last season in the relegation zone. It is better to stay away from Tottenham Hotspur for now.

Usually Crystal Palace always make it difficult to play at home but last night they had to fall to Manchester City who were completely helpless... I doubt City won this time Pep managed to convince many people.

I don't know the most compelling reason to doubt Manchester City in their away match against Crystal Palace - unless Manchester City are not in good form. Although Crystal Palace have had some good results against big teams this season, they couldn't stop them all. Manchester City is truly ambitious to reclaim the Premier League title this season – they have a great chance of winning it, even if this week they are still in second place, 2 points behind Arsenal.

Crystal Palace certainly tried to maintain their good performance at home - but it was difficult to stop Manchester City, who are now starting to rediscover their good form. Pep Guardiola has managed to maintain his team's winning consistency with a record of 4 consecutive wins in the last 4 weeks - and this is likely to continue for the next few weeks.
