Let me assume that it's been long you watch Chelsea games if you do you can't include Chelsea as a team that is performing well this season, the only teams performing well in the English Premier league is Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa that rest of the teams are not consistent. Football games are sometimes full of surprises and unpredictable but Manchester City and Chelsea game is predictable, Manchester City is very much inform that Chelsea i don't think Chelsea can get a draw Manchester City will have all three points all to them self.

Manchester City should have a much easier time beating Chelsea in this situation, especially after Chelsea fired their manager. I think Manchester City is far superior based on their performance in previous matches. I agree with you because in the Premier League, perhaps only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa have performed much more consistently, while several other teams experience different conditions, sometimes playing well and then experiencing unfavorable results in the next match.

One thing you have to understand is that with Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City form most times doesn’t have much to do when either of them meet each other, what matters is what they play on that day, Chelsea might not be in form now but they might meet City and shock you with us with their performance.
Man City is having a good run now obviously the victory will be tilting more towards their side but Chelsea as well can not be a write off.

Arsenal played well last night but they were lucky too, they have to still improve. Victor Gyokeres has not fully gotten into groove on the premier league tuff so other guys are doing the work for him.
All Arsenal players needs to be at their best to get this league title.

I still doubt Gyokeres would be able to adapt to the EPL and that's not because of his abilities but because his teammates have still yet to recognise the fact that they have a number 9 in their team and not just a number 9 that drifts to the wing but one that creates spaces to drop him passes to score goals. I've watched Saka and Odegaard's game with Gyokeres and it just seems as though they are still in their Gabriel Jesus era. They don't drop him the obvious passes, cut backs and even when he creates spaces for them like take out defenders, they still fumble the possession.

The performance of premier league teams at times appears surprising especially teams like Manchester united meeting there rival Manchester city lately. For the past few seasons since Manchester united have lost consistency, they may loss to  weaker teams but never forget to put up there best when it has to do with Manchester city the reasons is what i can't tell but the only thing i know about both teams lately is not to rush in taking any side straight win when it has to do with both teams because in there games unbelievable results is always the answer at last

Liverpool travels to Craven Cottage to face Fulham. In their last match, Liverpool only managed a draw with Leeds United. Fulham also drew in their last match against Crystal Palace.
A win would put Liverpool further ahead of Chelsea, who may not necessarily win their match against Manchester City.

Ekitike must improve on his performance in the match against Leeds United, and Slot needs to start some players who came off the bench in the last match. A loss would make things even more difficult for Liverpool.

Liverpool really needs to step up there game, else they might be stinged by Fulham who are presently better than Leeds United that they played previously. Recently, it seems scoring goals is becoming an issue as I was surprised that Liverpool played there last game without scoring even a goal. It was unbelievable, and am sure that gamblers must have lost alot following that goalless draw they and Manchester city played.

One thing I like the premier league is that no team is written off, every team is a threat and no one is seen less. So Liverpool has to buckle up or seat up, else, Fulham might prove to them that they are also very strong and it is football. It's gonna be a tough match for them, for both teams, at the end, let's see how it will go

Manchester city is not playing against Manchester United, but against Chelsea. One thing you should know is that whenever two big teams are playing there won't be any form of underestimation. However if Manchester city or Manchester United is playing against a smaller team they may not take it that seriously and this the main reason why most times we will be getting the unexpected result.
The match between Manchester city and Chelsea is going to be a very tough match , both sides is really in good form this season. Am thinking the match may likely end in a draw.

[BitBakerr1]

Manchester United is drawing with Leeds 0:0 and with the way the match is going they may end up losing that match or drawing the match unless Manchester United comes up with a new strategy in the second half, I knew the match won't be easy for them especially since it's Leeds home and Manchester United top players are in Morocco for the African cup of nation competition. Let's see what will happen in the second half of this match, I'm sure people didn't bet on Manchester United straight win, if people did just few will do that.

You sounded so funny, how do you mean Arsenal players are yet to recognized they have number 9 although sometimes it can be like that but the case of Gykores is entirely different because Arsenal is playing well even without him and is not even like Arsenal was not doing well before they signed him, they were doing absolutely fine. So I think Gykores has not made himself visible in the pitch that is why it appears they didn't recognized him  or maybe he has not been fortunate enough to shine in the club.

Aston Villa 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest and the game is still in the beginning of the second half.
The match is pretty much one sided. Aston Villa is dominating the game while Nottingham Forest players aren't that concentrating. In the second goal there was at least like 3 mistakes done by the midfielders and defenders. How easy missing the ball by these players is impressive..
Even the attacks of Nottingham Forest are pretty much easy to waste or to stop. I believe Aston Villa could add another goal if they want.

what more did you expect from the game, despite the fact that Arsenal beat them 4-1 in their previous game doesn't mean they have dropped form it only shows how formidable Arsenal is this season, anyone expecting even a draw in this game is quite hilarious because Nottingham Forest of this season is not that of last season had it been It was last season I'd know it might end in draw based on how inform Aston Villa is, so this is a well deserved win for Aston Villa and I believe their hope of fighting for the league is not yet gone it's still very much intact.

The difference between the two is clearly visible in the standings table, a 3-1 victory is enough to prove Aston Villa toughness over Nottingham Forest. The defeat at the Emirates Stadium last week did not mean that Unay Emery's squad was weak. In that game, Arsenal was highly motivated to win because in the previous match, Aston Villa had humiliated them and given them their first defeat in the EPL this season. Aston Villa are currently in second place with a 6-point gap to Arsenal, they must maintain this kind of performance to keep their chances of winning the title at the end of the season.

If you've watched City and you'e watched Arsenal play, I mean the way City plays through their striker, you'd notice that Arsenal doesn't play through their striker. They are playing well, yes, but the reason they brought in a striker as prolific as Gyokeres is to score goals. But majority of their goals this season have come from non-attacking players.

Manchester united is thoroughly an amazement centre and not a team with focus of going home with any trophy anytime soon if not why won't they win a team as weak as leeds in there game today. Imagine playing for complete 90 minutes plus extra time with just 2 shot on target and call your team people fighting for trophy, its time Manchester united need to step up and face reality because i see know reasons after receiving huge wages as they do yet they can't win a game as low as that of leeds, all they could do is share the points in a most win game for them, i think they are not willing or ready to compete for any trophy this season and next if not we would have seen the zeal in there game pattern.

There is nothing more to expect from Man United this season, and I think it will be the same for next season if Amorim remains as the coach of Man United, because we can see that there has been no positive progress since Amorim became the coach, so the future will likely remain the same. The draw against Leeds United, I think, can be understood because Leeds United is a team that is currently developing; they have remained unbeaten in their last 5 matches. However, the performance shown by Man United deserves criticism. They played really poorly, not just in this match but in several recent games, as the team's performance seems to have significantly declined.

Newcastle just missed their one chance to get ahead of Crystal Palace in a very unselfish move from Wissa, brilliant but he was in an offside position eventually, didn’t time his run just right and had a shoulder in but, the moves afterwards was just perfect and though he was one on one with the goalkeeper, he chose the easier option which was to make the pass for Gordon and he made the effort to get to the ball and put it in. Sadly, it had to be canceled by the VAR for an offside.

[SatoPrincess]

The goal has been confirmed. Fulham takes the lead 1 nil courtesy of former Liverpool player, Harry Wilson. The goal was obviously onside, I don’t know why the referee even bothered to check VAR.
Anyone else noticed that Virgil Van Dirk hasn’t been himself all season? It’s sad to see a player of his quality fall off.

Let's see what will happen in the second half of this match, I'm sure people didn't bet on Manchester United straight win, if people did just few will do that.

It's hard to beat Leeds United at home we know that and getting a draw for this match for Manchester United I think it's not too bad, yes although I also know many bettors who hope that Manchester United will get a victory in the match, but fortunately I don't, I'm not that brave to bet on Manchester United. The result of the match is 1-1 you have to be satisfied with that the players cannot be present to expect much especially those who are absent to make their side become empty, Manchester United and its fans must accept the reality for 1 point that can be obtained this week.

The performance of premier league teams at times appears surprising especially teams like Manchester united meeting there rival Manchester city lately. For the past few seasons since Manchester united have lost consistency, they may loss to  weaker teams but never forget to put up there best when it has to do with Manchester city the reasons is what i can't tell but the only thing i know about both teams lately is not to rush in taking any side straight win when it has to do with both teams because in there games unbelievable results is always the answer at last

For me I think Manchester United is a better team to Manchester city. Because Manchester city doesn't have what it takes to win big teams like Manchester United. For Manchester United only see smaller teams like small boys, but to surprise of the games. They will lost consistent  behaviour and surprises to the fans. So past few reasons Manchester United has been doing better to Manchester city .

Manchester United has been playing poorly in the league for a very long time and the rivalry with Manchester City has been very long, it's an old rival but it's still a hit to make it a derby match at any time because of Manchester, I don't have big expectations for Manchester United to end well this season, being able to maintain a position in the top 5 of the standings is very enough for them for now until the end of the season, the competition is very hot and fierce, they have to make the team better if they want to compete with Manchester City.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United got another draw today... If you ask me, they didn't play good enough for the win either. All those goal attempts but only 2 shots on target? And hitting woodwork once too of course.

It feels like Sesko and Gyökeres are racing each other about which one is more useless.    Sesko was terrible today. I can say he was the worst performer of his team as well.

The only hope for top 4 is depending on Liverpool and Chelsea's form from now on with this performance level.

Manchester United still played another careless game today. I just can't imagine what sesko is doing in the striking position like what exactly is he up to in Manchester United. Supporting Manchester United is becoming a tedious job filled with extreme uncertainty. Manchester United ended the Wolves 11 game lose by giving them a point in a game that should be sealed with 3 points. Today again, they have given out another point to Leeds after trailing in the 62nd minutes.

The absence of Mbuemo and Amad is now clearly significant that Cunha became the redeemer today. The hope of achieving this top 4 is gradually fading off. Manchester city and Chelsea still own that space and I don't see any of those top teams now who could drop for Manchester United. Liverpool is already performing better and would not even be compared to Manchester United. Fulham is currently leading Liverpool right now but still, Liverpool remains ahead of Manchester United. The Glory glory Manchester United is long gone and what we're now watching is different from the Manchester United we grew up watching.

[GiftedMAN]

Brentford are beating Everton 3:0 despite playing as an away team but like always we are not even talking much about them or giving them the credit they rightly deserve. They've been very brilliant for a team that was just recently promoted to the English Premier League. The club's striker Igor Thiago have been very prolific this season as he's now the second top scorer in the league. Currently in the 7th position of the English Premier League table, do you think Brentford will be able to continue their consistency and probably finish in a position that'll guarantee European football next season? Let me read your thoughts.

[X-ray]

The goal has been confirmed. Fulham takes the lead 1 nil courtesy of former Liverpool player, Harry Wilson. The goal was obviously onside, I don’t know why the referee even bothered to check VAR.
Anyone else noticed that Virgil Van Dirk hasn’t been himself all season? It’s sad to see a player of his quality fall off.

The VAR check was ensure the goal was legitimate, and it's answering the doubters if it was on side goal. If referee was not doing it, there would be many complaints to come from Liverpool's side. After the VAR check, everything is clear.

As for Van Dijk, he's been getting older, and he slowly lose his form. His inconsistency is just showing how Liverpool can't keep him far longer.
