I was quite surprised when I found out that Amorim played 4 defenders in his strategy. I thought he was a very stubborn person, but it turns out he can overcome his ego for the sake of his team. It wasn't their best performance, but at least things worked out, and most encouragingly, they managed to get 3 points at home. It seems Amorim realized that playing Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro as starters simultaneously was a risk, which is why he benched Yoro against Newcastle. The second half was really tense, especially after Amorim chose to take off Casemiro and Sesko, Man United really got tremendous pressure from Newcastle.

Amorim decision to deploy a back four proved to be the right one, with the defense appearing solid and better prepared to withstand Newcastle onslaught. Ayden Heaven and Lisandro Martinez were more alert in guarding United's defense, while Lammens was also able to thwart Newcastle attempts to score. Admittedly, this wasn't one of Man United best matches, but this time Amorim was truly able to devise a strategy that made the players perform better despite being without several key players who were injured. This kind of defensive ability must be maintained if United wants to reach the top four soon, now the goal is almost achieved after successfully catching up with Chelsea's points collected, they only hope their rivals lose to Aston Villa so that the gap between the two is no longer there.

I think Amorim is a good tactician and has the technical know how to secure a better lead. However, his players like instead of breaking the opponent's resistance with short passes when they have the lead they prefer long balls and effectively giving the ball away. That is why Newcastle dominated the second half completely

Today there are four matches that caught my attention:Nottingham Forest against Man City, Arsenal against Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool against Wolves, and Chelsea against Aston Villa. These matches broke my commitment to avoid betting until New Year so I could take the rest, so I decided to place the bets anyway. Conveniently, the first match in the lineup is Nottingham Forest versus Man City, so I placed a bet on a Man City win… and from there, we’ll see how it goes.

For this week game Liverpool as a host will play against Wolves on the paper this should be an easy game for Liverpool because we know Wolves had a problem with their consistency even Wolves still unable to win until week 17 which this condition makes them as the strong candidate to be relegated but last week Liverpool doesn't playing well that they almost lost points from Tottenham although at that time Tottenham playing with 9 players besides that some players has been confirmed got the injured so, Liverpool might be the favourite but their condition is not really good

Wolverhampton is indeed at the bottom of the table with only 2 points. The potential to survive and stay in the Premier League is no longer possible, but at least Wolverhampton can still prevent other teams from achieving their goals, such as Liverpool when they face them.
We are very excited about The Reds winning this match. 3 points are a must. It's not because we think Wolves are weak and we can underestimate them, but this match is just as important as a final. That's how Liverpool views the match against Wolverhampton.
3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 matches are just statistics. What we need is a result in every upcoming match.

Manchester United were really lucky to win that game honestly.    They were just dominated by Newcastle in performance. But they still managed to keep a clean sheet...

Woltemade was too bad with no shot this time. He is too inconsistent. Joelinton could have been a game changer but wasted good opportunities.

Bro I don't agree with you on this one, like the last time I checked Manchester United has got what it takes to even win the English premier League title, Manchester United has got some quality players that the coach is failing to make use of, like Manchester United needs that manager that can bring out the beast on this players, now if you think non of Manchester United players can fit in the Liverpool or Arsenal's team, I will like you to bring up their stat from each position and check how good Manchester United players are, on my own opinion I think Ruben Amorim is not really trying his best that's all.

Can you name those players then? The squad is full of trash players and everyone knows that. Good quality players are scarce. Such as Fernandes who might also leave next summer maybe. This squad can't even get near their golden era.

Wolves are currently in the bottom table with just two points secured so in my opinion It will be a pleasure for Liverpool to win the three points from Wolves today, even though Liverpool have also struggled to win games this season but I feel It would be a slap if they couldn't defeat Wolves, and sometimes it can be challenging to win against weak opposition. But I am confident that Liverpool will secure the three points.


Chelsea face Aston Villa at home today. It will be a tough match, and it is important to note that Aston Villa are in very good form. They have an unbeaten streak of eleven matches without a single loss, and they will want to maintain their good momentum so that they do not lose the unbeaten streak to Chelsea. Aston Villa are currently third in the table, five points ahead of Chelsea, and I believe Chelsea would not want to lose today to Aston Villa. Chelsea will also do everything possible to win this match, because Chelsea always play a good game against strong opponents.

We already know Liverpool has a history of surprising results in matches like this, so even though Liverpool are the favorites, it's best to stay away from this game. They might win 1-0, and since they don't score many goals, predictions might not come true. Generally, Liverpool matches are difficult to predict.

I think the Chelsea - Aston Villa match will be the best game of the day, and both teams will struggle. Aston Villa's performance is improving with each game, and Chelsea needs to avoid making mistakes at home. Aston Villa is a team that can capitalize on mistakes very quickly this season.

[Spack17]

I think Newcastle United also have a shot. According to transfermarkt data they are currently one of the top 10 most valuable squads in the world. If they’ve reached this level without even having any proper Champions League success yet it's not hard to imagine where they'll be later. They have massive potential and it definitely wouldn't surprise me if they beat Manchester United.

You were right about it. Newcastle lost anyway though but they challenged hard! They had the match under control in terms of ball possession. They passed many more but still couldn't score even a single goal.

I knew I took a big risk by betting on Manchester United as they didn't have Bruno Fernandes. Not only him of course. A few more players were also out due to AFCON. But they still made it. Dorgu scored even though he played as RW which isn't a so familiar position for him in his career.

All these matches will be play with a very good performance and depending on the performance of these teams their results will also be determine and there will be a lot of interest in their table in these matches. I think Manchester City is better in the first match Arsenal in the second match Liverpool in the third match and Chelsea in the last match but this match can also be seen in the form of a draw. And this will be very beneficial for you because the prediction I have made is much more reliable and certain in the case of a win. Manchester City has a high chance of winning because they are also at the top with a good number of points and their players play good than Nottingham. We will also see a lot of impact in all these matches and in these matches all these teams should play well and become stronger so that they can play themselves good than before in the match.

I couldnt dare to bet on this match. Newcastle was the stronger team for sure but it was an away game and hard to predict.
Btw AFCON is a total nightmare. It's causing massive problems in my country’s league as well. The top teams can't even use 4 or 5 of their starting 11 players and trying to build a squad with those absences is incredibly difficult. It really brings down the quality of both European and domestic leagues.

Nottingham is not a team that will pose a challenge to Manchester City. Manchester City will easily win away from home. Arsenal, on the other hand, will play Brighton at home. Since they are playing at home, I think Arsenal are the team more likely to win. The competition in the Premier League is very high. Therefore, even though both teams are favorites, there is a small chance they could both lose. Manchester United won yesterday and are still in the race for the Champions League. Chelsea's match has now become even more important.

Manchester City is indeed far superior compared to Nottingham, but Manchester City is quite bad playing away. If they lose then it will be more difficult to catch Arsenal at the top of the standings, City is really trying to catch up to number one and has proven to be consistent in winning streaks but Arsenal is also quite consistent with Arsenal's most losses only ending in a draw

I wasn't expecting Manchester United to win Newcastle, my prediction was going to be draw. I didn't even watch the match, I had to watch the highlights this morning. Dorgu scoring is quite surprising and daily giving assist. Now Manchester United has moved to the 5th position. They need to keep performing well if they really want to qualify for the champions League. Because we still have Liverpool trying to move to the top 5. It is going to be hard for Manchester United though,but let's see how this season goes for.

Apart from the match between Chelsea and Aston Villa, it seems like it would be quite easy to guess who will be the winner. Nottingham Forest is really not the same as last season, so I think Man City will be able to beat them this time because Man City is in good form. Meanwhile, for the match between Arsenal and Brighton, it will most likely be Arsenal's win, but it might not be easy because Brighton might not give up easily, and it seems like they will choose to play defensive football. Liverpool will get an easy win against Wolves because the two have such a big difference. The most interesting one is the match between Chelsea and Aston Villa, and I think the match will end in a draw.

It is going to be hard for Manchester United though,but let's see how this season goes for.

The match was unbelievable to me because I never expected the slow Manchester United that we know to beat Newcastle without even allowing them to concede a goal that could make the match a draw one, allowing Manchester United to strive to score another goal so they don't have to draw the match. My expectations was tarnished after I have predicted that Newcastle is going to have at least a single goal from the match.

[len01]

If you look at the current condition of both teams, then Man United does not have a big chance to win, and I think it is even quite difficult for Man United to just get a draw.

I’m not really sure that Man United will struggle just to get a draw, even though several key players are absent from this match. The players’ mentality when playing at home is much stronger, and that’s what could make this game end in a draw. The match has already started, and if we look at the game so far, it’s very clear that Man United still have plenty of chances, either to secure a draw or even go for a win.

I think there's an high chance of struggling for them getting either a win or a draw. Their attack is often shaky and now key attacking prowess, Mbeumo and Amad won't be available  definitely this will make them making use of their chances more difficult, hopefully they defend properly to avoid mistakes that would be capitalise greatly by Newcastle.

And now we can see a 1–0 victory secured by Man United. Newcastle actually showed a good performance, but it was only in the second half, and Amorim managed to apply the right strategy to defend during that period. As I mentioned before, home matches give a big advantage to Man United, while away games are still a problem for Newcastle.

Hi !

Manchester United won yesterday, but it was a very tough game. In the first half, a Newcastle player hit the crossbar. And in the last minutes of the match, Newcastle had the initiative but couldn’t score. Now United have moved up to fifth place in the table.

Today the league leaders Arsenal and Manchester City will play. I don’t think there will be a big win, because both teams will play cautiously and try to save their energy, since they have to play three matches over the next week.

A straight bet to City is the sense bet to pick right now. They are back to their peak. Everyone in the squad is still on fire, have good ball distribution, and we will see Haaland to cook again.

They improving massively, and i believe they will be doing deforestation soon. I also remember how Forest's home being called as City's ground. It's caused by Forest rarely able to win against City at home. It seems City will be dominating the game like what they did in the previous games, and they will score like two goals at least.

Other than CIty's game i also pick Liverpool to win against Wolves. Hopefully, they're all gonna win their games.

It’s unbelievable how Manchester United kept a clean sheet here. They’ve conceded in 19 of their last 20 matches and Newcastle created enough chances to win three games over. Manchester United rode their luck big time really. Newcastle’s wastefulness and some pure luck saved them.

[el kaka22]

Liverpool will definitely not have trouble against Wolves at all. That is as easy of a game as it gets and should not be a big deal at all. I get that it may not be easy to decide for the time being but this is what we are going to see, Liverpool will get a win. In fact, even be able to bet on Liverpool to win is a big deal, because if I owned a sportsbook, I would not let people to bet on Liverpool to win, since it's such a guaranteed result.

I would however put handicap and whatever else like corners etc etc those would be ok, but moneyline the game result? That I would not let and that is why if you can bet on any place where they allow you to bet on Liverpool to win? That is free money for you and you should take it. It's gambling, of course risks happen and exists, but this is quite sure bet.
