After this break in the PL a really nice game is going to greet us!

• Man Utd - Man City

Of course Guardiola's club is the obvious favourite here. Man Utd is still in pain because of inconsistencies. And it's still not known who's going to be their next coach. Until then Fletcher takes care of the club.

In this situation I don't expect them to show a great effort in this derby honestly. 1.85 odds for Man City look just great! I might bet on it early in fact.

City odds is not only great, but it's very worthy to bet. I'm not sure an away game will affect their mentality since their team is just getting even more complete by signing semenyo. Let's say they put Doku, Haaland, and Semenyo together on the field.

It's gonna be very confusing for MU's defenders to think which man to target as all of them are physically good, and they have good pace.

So, it makes sense to bet on City. The chance to draw is pretty high, but i think City will win it. Don't forget Rodri is also fit.

True City has higher chances of winning this derby. United are yet to gain balance in their tactical approach. But going by the last three games for both teams, the have both recorded three draws in a row  where City had difficulty winning Newcastle, Chelsea and Sunderland. It could be an inspiration for Manchester United to defensively struggle for a draw game. The odds for City to win away looks pretty good but I am still skeptical about the outcome, it might be difficult winning away against ManU this time considering how United lost their first game with City this season. It might just be an opportunity to salvage their last loss.

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

This is the exact result you get when you brain dead Manchester United fans support the incompetent players who play for your great club and also the incompetent owners, directors and management handling the footballing affairs of the club. Amorim is now gone, who should be blamed next?! That is enough to show you that the players do not give their best for the club. Not even fifty percent equals that horror show they call performance. Next they face Manchester City, they will be hammered heavily.

I am not surprised at all by the result of the match. This result was expected. Even then, manchester united were lucky  that they were able to score a goal in the 85 th minute.

Manchester united have drawn matches against Leeds, wolves and burnley in their last three matches. It was not possible to win against Brighton with such a  bad performance. And as usual, Manchester united lost the match.

Manchester united players attacked a lot in this match too. They made 19 shots, 7 on target shots. Manchester united also managed to possess 60 % of the ball. But as usual, the performance of the defenders was weak  and their finishing was also weak.

[Emitdama]

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.

As Manchester United is always natural because after having impressive time now things are getting worst after every season recently some hopes are awaking but suddenly this sack of Ruben Amorim is now having impact with players also lost some confidence and things are also back on their worst.

Management is now doing their job which is never been ideal for positive results but still they are having enough time for bringing changes and also having right man for coaching job if they are keeping Ruben Amorim I was sure about their better results in this season but now sudden this more break hearts and things are also looking not good for good end of season.

I think the call for winner in their clash is clear as day. I support your decision to bet on Man City and I’ll do the same. Their attacking line is much stronger than Manchester United’s. If they also strengthen their midfield, Man City could become the strongest team in League. I’ve heard they’re showing interest in Marc Guehi, but it’s still unclear whether he’ll accept the offer from Man City or choose another club. ^{There are rumors that he’s considering a move to Bayern Munich.}

We saw Manchester united's performance against brighton. They did not play well. United's defense is still weak. Manchester united's opponents were weak in the last  three matches of the premier league. Even then they could not win. It will not be possible to stop manchester city's attack with such a shaky defense. Manchester city is the favorite in this  match. If they do not make any big mistakes, then city will win this match. It is safe to bet on City's victory. My guess is that manchester city will win the match by 2 goals.

Many people obviously will be staking on Manchester City to win. They've been more consistent with their results than their neighbours and looking at the quality of players of both teams, Manchester United surely has lesser chances of getting a result. That said, Bryan Mbuemo and Amad Diallo are out of the ongoing CAF African Cup Of Nations and will be part of the Manchester United squad for that game so it's a major boost for United and considering the fact that's they'll be playing in front of their home fans, United can as well win the game at the end.

Players are like weapons and coaches are their users if the coach can't use his weapon then they will be very difficult to fight, this team is really in trouble and it's getting worse lately, Amorim has fought hard but still can't reach the expectations that fans and club owners want, the thing we need to take seriously is how management manages all of this, they have to be a little open to fix Manchester United, and return it to its former glory, they should also be more patient because rebuilding strength is not easy after experiencing destruction, this Manchester Derby will be very painful if Man United still can't change its composition.

Yes, if we compare Manchester United’s and Manchester City performances, it is clear that Manchester City will be the favorite team in the upcoming match between them. Honestly, nobody would like to bet money on Manchester United to win.but the fact is that people should know this upcoming match is between two big teams and despite Manchester City being in better form than Manchester United, anything can still happen. When Manchester United plays against big teams, they always become stronger. Again, it is a Manchester United home game, which means they may appear even stronger, and that may make the match not so easy for Manchester City.

What is clear is that people will never see Manchester United as the favorite because they are not a reliable team. The games people expect them to do better in are often the ones they play poorly. So despite all that, since it is still a Manchester United game, I am convinced enough to trust them and bet on them.

[Solodoski]

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.

Manchester City are definitely in the title race, after all it just 6 points gap between them and Arsenal at the top of the table, but I think Arsenal has a better chance to win the Premier League,  because they are the most consistent team and they also sit on top of the table. Talking of Manchester City getting 10 straight win, it should also be mentioned that Arsenal can also do the same with their performance so far this season. Another interesting thing is that Arsenal's fate is in their hands, they don't need any team to help them beat many City for them to go top of the league,  on like some seasons past. They just need to keeping winning and I believe they will be crowned champion of England come May.

I don't know how to Identify Manchester United problem personally, but they have to do something about it, Manchester United is a big club with a big name and trophies and not this generation of players in their club make them look like a very weak club and it is very bad.
They should work on their self sacking managers will not really solve the issues there are other problems they have to fix than sacking managers, if they will buy new players let them buy what ever they have to do they have to act properly or they will be thought the hard way even as bad as going on religation.

Since when have Manchester United been in this position, they should play well and improve their performance and they have lost very badly against Brighton while they should have failed Brighton. They had a good chance to equalize with Liverpool but Manchester United has wasted this chance many times. Everyone had hopes from Manchester United that they would win today's match and become strong but they did not strengthen themselves and disappointed their favorite. Manchester United should have played well and strengthened themselves. Manchester United has lost 3 very important points while the opponent team was weak. Manchester City has recently scored 10 goals in the match and their victory against Newcastle will also be quite good.

Betting on it early is actually good because as the days go by I feel the odd for City to win will diminish. City winning this match is a no brainer, this matchup will completely be a win for City, I know sometimes City puts up unexpected results like the past draws but It's Man United, and they are currently trash. In there last 7 games they have only won once and plus there off pitch confusion on how to hire an interim manager to replace an interim manager is just wild. The players are not performing and everything about them screams instability.

[Wakate]

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.

It is not that it will be very easy for Arsenal to win the league but because of the point they have currently and if they are able to maintain their chances and win more matches without losing anyone, this would help them to have high expectation of winning the league.
Even though they have rivals, that does not really mean if enough energy can be reciprocated.

Obviously if you mean without losing again in the remaining matches even if only having a 1 point difference also it will not be a problem because the guarantee is unbeaten again, it's just that we don't know what the future will be like, defeat is definitely possible therefore it is very important when the rival experiences bad results they must be able to accumulate points, we must not forget how Arsenal can lose their consistency, and if they have a pile of more points to chase they can bounce back if they experience defeat without having the pressure of a small difference.

Yeah so far Arsenal are more deserving to win the league but just because they deserve it Doesn’t mean it would be hand over to them, they are currently leading with 6 points which might seems it enough but I bet you it not, they need to put in more effort like they did in the first leg or even more effort. This is the premier league and it always bound with dramas especially at the very ending so Arsenal needs to do better than the first leg.

It been arsenal season so far, let see if they would take it to the very end. Manchester city and Aston Villa keeps running behind them, but also they keeps dropping points and it would only make it easy for Arsenal, well for Manchester city it been a disappointing season for them, they look like a shadow of themselves. Well they are the closest to challenge Arsenal for the title but then I don’t see them winning it this season.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Getting a point against big Premier League clubs is acceptable for now, but they can't get complacent. they need to keep pushing forward. Excluding the top three, there are 11 teams (or even more) neck-and-neck in the standings
Although December's performance was disappointing and the atmosphere was not great, the players gave their all in every game and gave the fans a dopamine boost.

The second half was worth watching and I thought city will dominate and score, but the way chelsea played made me admire the coach. He brings on santos, played gusto on the right and delap-- That was self-believe right there! I guess they'd rather lose to Fulham than to City.
