In know distant time from now Manchester united will be facing Brighton in there second game since there manager Ruben Amorim was sacked and darren fletcher made there interim, in there first game when the interim manager was in charge he managed to secure a draw and today all are expecting to see what he is capable of doing. Although from my own point of view i think its a direct win for Manchester united on that game as they have every thing it takes to win on that game, not that there opponents is that weak but no matter how strong Brighton may think they are, one cannot compare them to Manchester united in all rectification.

I think Mancester United would do their best not to lose this match but it does not mean that it would be easy for them because the team is currently going through a crisis...the best option for this game is a BTTS pick because Mancester united are going to score and definitely going to concede because that's been what they do constantly in almost every game..let's see what happens

Manchester United has scored just won goal now and they may likely score another goal. Then end up drawing the match because Brighton is winning Manchester United with two goals so right now the score is 2:1, Brighton 2 Manchester United 1 the game is an interesting game. I already know that Manchester United cannot win Brighton and that was why I did predict Manchester United to win I’m sure they will not win however I did not predict for Brighton to win because I was a bit scared also but with the way the match is going. It’s very clear that Brighton will win Manchester United in this match.

well, Mancester United decided to mess up at the dying minute, perhaps if they had avoided that red card maybe they would have been able to equalize and the result would have been 2:2. There are lots of reasons why I cannot rely on Mancester to win any match. it is obvious that the situation with Manchester United is absolutely terrible and I don't think they can recover from it this season

If Manchester United cannot recover from their form this season, then I don’t think they can also in their coming season because it’ll take them longer time to get to recover from their bad form and get back to their winning ways. The past glory of them is fading away the more as they’re unable to get themselves back into the game, they may be forcibly face harder moments if care is not taken. Now they’re eliminated from the FA Cup, they just have the premier league to put all their hopes on now, hopefully they can get to finish at a better position than they did last season.

I knew Manchester United won’t be able to win Brighton in todays match, right now Manchester United are not in form, their performance has been poor, and they just sacked their coach which I know thats really going to affect them in todays match. As a gambler it’s just risky to pick Manchester United in your bet now, right now they are just finding it difficult to win matches, so even if am gambling, with Manchester United current performance, I won’t pick them to win any match now.  I don’t even know how Manchester United are going to fix their current problem, because their current problem is not from the coach or players alone, we will have to blame the management also.

[Tmoonz]

Yes, that's true, I think this is a fair result because Liverpool and Arsenal are both strong Premier League teams, despite Liverpool's slightly slumped condition this season, but when the match between two big teams is of course different, and I don't think there is any problem with this result because Arsenal is still at the top of the standings.

It's looks like Liverpool won't be able to defend their title. The only thing they can do now is to finish among top 4 to qualify for the UEFA and it's very much possible because still 17 more games to be played. Liverpool draw against Arsenal is an indication that Liverpool is trying its best to finish among top teams of this season.

Well, Arsenal won't mind the draw, they shouldn't let it happen again because they won't find themselves lucky as this, to have Manchester City and Aston Villa draw with them in any week's match.

However, I will count this draw that Manchester City and Aston Villa had as the savior of Arsenal because if it had been Manchester City and Aston Villa had won their week 21 game, they would have drawn closer to Arsenal by points, leading to pressure on Arsenal not to lose or draw their remaining matches.

Gunners are lucky in week 21 but everyday is not Sunday and gunners must not relax in upcoming games because they are just 6 points ahead of Man City and Villa. Both City and Villa are in good form and both are eyeing for EPL title also. Arsenal must win few of ti's upcoming matches to extend it's lead and stay on top.

Frankly speaking that result wasn't what I was expecting seriously I was actually expecting Arsenal to win that game but it turns out to be that Liverpool won't give in to such performance like they really fight like they are actually title contenders , I think they were not fair and for Arsenal I was not really impressed with what they played in that game they actually disappointed me , I was hoping maybe one goal to nothing will really go a long way, because I have just come to realize that just 6 points isn't enough for a team like Manchester City they really need to work harder so this league title won't slip out of their hands this season.

Their performance next season I think will heavily depend on who'll be appointed as Ruben Amorim's permanent successor. Yes, Manchester United are underperforming at the moment but the truth is that a manager with great experience can still improve them to be better in the space of 6 months. Again, the summer transfer window will give them the opportunity of making significant additions that can improve the team's strength and depth. The glory days of the club might be a thing of the last but they still have all it takes to revive themselves and bring it back.

[dezoel]

Arsenal has shown very good performance since the beginning of the season and on the other hand we can see that Man City is not like that; even now we can see that Man City is once again experiencing performance consistency issues. However, it should be remembered that the season's journey is still very long and I still believe that fierce competition will continue. 

However, it seems I am overlooking Aston Villa here, I think only Arsenal and Man City are competing fiercely to win this season's Premier League title.

City just defeated a lower level league team 10-1, exeter is obviously not at a level where they can defeat even the Wolves, so it was obvious that City would win, but even in that case, 10-1 is a huge victory that shows that City is very well focused. I know that three draws in a row is bad, but Arsenal got a draw there to Liverpool too, so only 2 draws mattered. I think City still can do a fine job, the gpa is only six points and the fight for the title is still not over yet.

Manchester united are just performing poorly in any games they play and I don't think they can improve better this season, they really need a good coach this season since Amorim as left the club they need a better replacement. And Manchester united need more players in the team to make them perform better because If they didn't take actions that is how they will be losing games in the competition, I will surprise when Manchester United lose game because they are not playing any tough competition they just focusing on the league but still they are struggling in the competition I don't know when Manchester United will go for the Champions League again, because with how they are playing this season they is not any hope to qualify for ucl next season.

[Akbarkoe]

Don't rush into Arsenal before they have two matches left to play in the English Premier League, even though they are a very strong candidate this season, we know Arsenal has always been disappointing even though they have a lot of potential to win until the end of the season. Looking at Manchester City, who have also struggled this season in winning matches, especially in their last three matches which resulted in draws, the difference in points is only 6 and it is still very possible for Manchester City to catch up in the next matches.

All the top clubs are struggling to win their contenders but to be frank, Arsenal have really tried this season to defeat so many clubs that we thought will convinently defeat them making the match to end in a draw. That is better for a draw than their opponents to beat them. This is a fight for the top and it's not going to be easy for any club to dominate the top for several weeks.

Yes, I also do not close my eyes that they are working hard here to be able to get a win in every match to maintain themselves at the top of the standings, after all, they want to get the English Premier League this season, it has been a long time since they won the trophy, a big advantage if Man City and Aston Villa continue to not produce points, they should be easier in having points and also a bigger difference so that it is not easy for their opponents to catch up.

[tygeade]

Considering no other team has even a remote chance (not expecting Aston Villa or Liverpool to have any chance at all) it is all about Arsenal and City. In this case, what Arsenal does will matter of course, if they keep on winning then yeah it is going to be easy to get the title, but it also matters how City plays, will they start a big winning streak? Or will they end up with losing some more points? Can City win 10 in a row? If so, they can still be champions, if not, then they will not be champions.

These all matter a lot and we need to make sure it's definitely something to care. We need to see how they move on from this and how they end up playing. City results matter way more than Arsenal results for the rest of the season.

Honestly, they have not been playing better recently, and that is what led to the sack of Amorin to get another better coach for the team. But as they sacked the coach, I believe that people will not expect a special result from Manchester United. So with this loss, I don't expect people should complain that much, because we all know Brighton are not that weak a team. Even in their last game against Manchester City, they were able to draw Manchester City at Manchester City's home. So today, I don't expect people should be shocked as Brighton defeated Manchester United.

In fact, even if Manchester United were able to get a new coach, I don't think they may perform as many people are expecting from them. It is even possible that if Amorin had not been sacked, they would still have lost this match to Brighton. But it really pains me that Manchester United have been disqualified from this FA Cup competition. The FA Cup was the hope I was having for Manchester United this season, but now they are already out.

Well both teams result matter to me, it will take Arsenal just to lose a a game and they would be in huge pressure and it would take Manchester city just lose one game and arsenal will play with a lot of ease, and that is not something Manchester city would want. To me it far from over and then again it would take just one lose from either of the side to declare it all over. Arsenal have been very good since the beginning of the season and honestly they deserve to win it this season but then again just because you deserve it doesn’t mean it would be handed over to you, you have to fight for it and earn it.

There is still lot of games to go, and from onward it will be a very demanding three point from each coach every week. Arsenal are in the driving sit and if they want to remain their then they just have to pray Manchester city drop points before they do but definitely both teams will still drop points before the end of the season.

Manchester City's next three games are against very weak opponents: Manchester United, Wolves, and Tottenham. If they win all three, they could have nine points, while Arsenal also has easy games in their next three. Therefore, if Manchester City drops points in these three games, their title race will be complicated. Manchester City's problem is their difficulty winning away games, even against weak opponents.

[Qhunman]

If Manchester United cannot recover from their form this season, then I don’t think they can also in their coming season because it’ll take them longer time to get to recover from their bad form and get back to their winning ways. The past glory of them is fading away the more as they’re unable to get themselves back into the game, they may be forcibly face harder moments if care is not taken. Now they’re eliminated from the FA Cup, they just have the premier league to put all their hopes on now, hopefully they can get to finish at a better position than they did last season.

Manchester United are not serious,when will they ever take games seriously?. If this how they would play, then they wouldn't go further. Manchester United should hired a quality coach who can ignite the fires as old days and being back their former glory. It is embarrassing that Manchester United would go without winning any trophy. Since Manchester United don't have any other competition besides the the premier League,they should now focus on Finishing amongst the top 4 to qualify for the Champions League next season

on the contrary, not recovering this season does not mean that they wouldn't be able to recover in the coming season. amorim wasn't really the problem but it is quite unfortunate that they had to let him go. Their problem currently is their defense, if they can sort that out i believe that within a short time they can start improving while they keep on working on other areas they need to. today's game was another disappointment

As a Manchester United fan, so many times we feel as if we are not among the big clubs again as we can not even compete with the least club. Imagine Manchester United was even unable to play with wolves that had not gotten any win. Sometimes I always say very embarrassing to be a Manchester United fan, as we are completely out. Right now what I will say is to sell the team/club and this is what Manchester United really need now. If it will help the club. To be honest right now it is not the managing system but all others that is involved in Manchester United as a club. They need to sell the club, that is all. Let the club be in another managing system.

Man U are just miles apart from those old Sir Alex Ferguson days! Those are the old glory days when players give it their whole heart on the pitch, not like these days, where players cry and whine like babies that need their diapers changed. Honestly, without getting a very strong coach that can instill discipline and some high level of mentality into these players!! Then Man U will just keep struggling every season. The FA Cup should be a competition that at least they should fight for.

I think it’s actually a great thing that we have even managed to get a new permanent manager that we are now saying it’s actually not the manager once again at least this will reduce the burden on the next manager. Seriously I have come to terms not to disturb my self with how poorly the club is managed. For me I see the board as the genesis of the whole problem and seriously as long as their is still the Glazers around this club I don’t think they would be making any improvements because sincerely speaking they will still run this club just in a way to make them earn more in revenues only.

In fact i actually think this knockout from the FA cup and Carabao cup is actually good for Manchester United fans because it means less games to suffer for and less revenue for this greedy owners. While it’s painful they need to accept reality that their darling club isn’t what they actually want it to be

[Sandra_hakeem]

It's a long waited win of the season and a great start for 2026. The fans have only been imagining what a good performance looks like.
Wolves is the worst team in Premier League history, but they completely dominated West Ham, that was something nobody expected. A win is a win, one may say, but a 3-0 at home in the first match of the year, feels different. It gives you hope that the dark days have gone, and future is fine. Seems they have managed to find some good form, if they keep playing like this they will be safe at the end of the season. Although their last match was a 1:1 draw against Everton, I believe they should be able to regroup and save the team from the relegations.

[Adbitco]

It's the time of the month again and the Premier League player of the month of December is upon us again, here are they players that has been nominated for the award for last month, 8 different players from 5 different teams. 3 from Manchester City, 2 from Aston Villa, 1 from Fulham and the last from Leeds United that's a total number of 8 players with only one of them going to win the award. Who gets your vote? For me, Leeds United is the least team here and hey have impressed for some couple of games and their lead man is up for the award. Leeds United has been able to play against some big teams and still not lose against them, which means they have been impressive. Personally, I think the Leeds United man deserves to be voted for.
