Michael Carricks has shown himself to be a very good coach in this few matches that he has managed as interim manager . But for pep and his boys I don't know what is the problem with Manchester City this season dropping points so easily they are playing to the advantage of Arsenal with the way that they are going.

City mess up and United were the victor. Michael Carrick continues on where he stopped but we wonder if he cam continues with the form of his.

Arsenal is definitely winning this.

Same Arsenal who couldn’t actually capitalize on the opportunity today again. They will allow Aston Villa to actually come and narrow down the points now to four again if they win. In as much as I know that Nottingham Forest under Dyche are actually compact defensively and majorly a low block team I was expecting Arsenal as a club looking to be champions to pull this off and go nine points clear of city but they couldn’t which doesn’t make me think they are convincing even at this mid stage of season to be crown champions because seven points can be nothing when disaster hits like injury and Manchester City picking up solid form after this January spending spree

Michael Carrick is already getting so much hype just because he was able to win against Manchester city today, Manchester United should still be calm, and shouldn’t overhype him because he just joined Manchester United, let’s just be calm to see how he will perform in subsequent matches, let’s hope he will be able to improve the teams performance.

Arsenal is definitely winning this.

Let’s wait and see, Arsenal isn’t really playing like a team that really want to win the premier league because I don’t know how they going to play draw today, a match which they are suppose to win so that they going to be seating at the top of the table comfortably.

Manchester City shared points against Brighton & Hove Albion at Etihad stadium. Sums up their draws to about 4 since their last winning against Nottingham forest. This current Manchester city team is completely spineless and mentally weak. Collecting huge weekly wages for nothing. The players should really be ashamed of themselves. 4 points in 4 games, this is horrible!

So many good chances so many goal scoring opportunities missed. The team looks less confident, on other days they would have won all the three matches. There is something that is not going good in the team, maybe the injury factor but they need to fix it as soon as possible.City fired off 20 shots, yet only four were remotely on target, and just one actually crossed the line.This inefficiency, dressed up as dominance, is Manchester City's so-called identity. Now guess what? Man United, of all teams, defeated them yesterday.

city's loss gave arsenal an opportunity that I didn't know they would let go of, I'm not a big fan of Arsenal with how far they have come i really want them to win the league at this point because they deserve it...after city lost i just assumed that Arsenal would give that game rheur best but they didn't even put in any effort and it was really disappointing...Their next match will probably be better than this.

I can't believe Manchester United easily defeating Manchester City last night, nice debut game for Michael Carrick although underestimate but success giving three points at the derby match of Manchester. I believe all of you placing bet for Manchester City because has good consistent performance and blame with Manchester United with inconsistent performance exactly under new manager Michael Carrick.
Shock if you see the match statistic Manchester City without one shot on target than Manchester United made 7 on target, its wonderful games for Man United fans seeing their team can defeat The Citizen because current standings both teams gap many points and City already signing many new players.

Anticipated the late winner from Arsenal but it didn’t come honestly and whoever choose to call it luck if they happen to win the Premier League title can say that because they keep on fumbling chances to keep a good distance between themselves and Manchester City. Sean Dyche now 5 points away from relegation, I understand why it was too difficult for Arsenal to slot up a goal. Mikel Arteta needs to do better with games like this, lifting the title is the most important factor for him this season and not the champions league. Inter Milan away next. Should be another draw!!

It is natural, particularly given the opportunity that Arsenal had to increase the distance between them and City. Nevertheless, it is not astonishing to face a side of Sean Dyche, since his teams are well-structured and difficult to penetrate. Nevertheless, heroes are evaluated by the way they cope with these very situations. It is not the fact that Arsenal cannot use the opportunity to make this race unattainable but the possibility of City remaining in it. Arteta needs to devise methods in close matches since as the season continues, lost points such as this may characterize the championship.

Arsenal should have capitalized on this match to enlarge the gap on Manchester City slightly, but they couldn't do their best as Nottingham Forest made it difficult for Arteta's men to score, resulting in a draw. That's the nature of the Premier League sometimes facing a team considered less strong doesn't yield the desired results. For this reason, the Premier League is quite competitive as the competition here can surprise anyone. Manchester City are still in the title race despite their defeat against Manchester United as there are still many games remaining.

The outcome of the current match Aston Villa vs. Everton will substantively determine who will win the battle to be the second place. Manchester City lost and they have got no points and as such, this is a great threat because there is a major chance that they can fall to the third place. Moreover, Aston Villa will have the advantage of playing at home because they play well at home. I am betting Aston Villa to win, and they will have the second place.

Arsenal are seven points ahead of a second place which provides them with some cushion. Nevertheless, they must continue to score points in order to stay ahead and win the first place.

Manchester united made it easier for Arsenal to get city off their backs but they didn’t rake advantage of the opportunity and it was really disappointing...arsenal needs to realize that this is the time they need to start putting effort in their performance...Aston Villa won't take any chances today, they are going to win the game to secure their spot on the second place, maybe arsenal needs to be worried about them

It seems you have forgotten that Manchester united don't always joke or play with big teams even though they are not in a good form and they deserved the winning yesterday because they played Manchester city like they were better than and that yesterday Manchester united was far better than Manchester city and if not for those offside and opportunities missed, the game would have ended like 5-6:0, Manchester city was very lucky yesterday and this was the same way Manchester united played against arsenal in their first match but Arsenal was fortunate enough to win. There's no certainty that Arsenal will win the league for now.

Well, even with the current situation now I believe Aston Villa will try thier best by all means to beat or defeat Evaton in today's match, since Manchester United defeated Manchester city yesterday, I know definitely the Aston Villa team and fans were happy because thier targets would now be to fight for tha second place in the table, Arsenal should continue maintaining thier best form and the best position for now. As the matches continues let's see what Aston Villa will play against Everton in today's match.

A lot of gamblers lost money in two Premier league matches. City were considered favorites against United. But Manchester City lost the match 2-0. Arsenal were naturally favorites against Nottingham forest. But Arsenal also failed to win the match.

I expected a better performance from Arsenal. It was predicted earlier that Nottingham Forest will play defensively in this match and want to draw the match. As a result, Arsenal should have tried to break down nottingham's defense with a lot of attacks. But they managed to make only 9 shots in the whole match. Arsenal lost points because of their poor attack.

I can't believe Manchester United easily defeating Manchester City last night, nice debut game for Michael Carrick although underestimate but success giving three points at the derby match of Manchester. I believe all of you placing bet for Manchester City because has good consistent performance and blame with Manchester United with inconsistent performance exactly under new manager Michael Carrick.
Shock if you see the match statistic Manchester City without one shot on target than Manchester United made 7 on target, its wonderful games for Man United fans seeing their team can defeat The Citizen because current standings both teams gap many points and City already signing many new players.

I suspected that such outcome might become reality in my previous post , in which I assumed that Manchester United might show some restiveness in their clash with Man City. The only thing I was wrong about was hoping for the BTTS bet, because I expected Man City to score at least one goal.

P.S. I was more surprised by Arsenal’s draw than by Man City’s defeat.

Manchester city were a bit off form. They had failed to get points in the previous three matches. But even then , it was unexpected that they  would perform so badly in the Manchester derby. They  should have performed better.

Manchester united won 2-0 . They definitely deserved the win. Manchester united players managed to make  7 on target shots. On the other hand, Manchester city players could not make a single on target  shot despite having 68% ball possession. If the attacking players had performed well, city might not have been defeated.

Manchester City has been playing without many important players for the entire season. That is felt even in big teams with big squads. Rodri was sidelined for a long time. He has returned, but City is now playing without other important midfielders like Nico and Kovacic. There are more injury concerns in defense. Stones has been out for a long time, Gvardiol broke his leg, and Dias is out as well. With matches played every 3-4 days plus international duty from time to time, fatigue is setting in with those who have to suit up every single time.

Nottingham forest was never a team to be considered less strong , considering there performance last season. Manchester city, they lose this race of they should continue losing matches. Arsenal on the on other hand fail to grab the golden opportunity of increasing the gap between them and Manchester city by not winning Nottingham forest. This season may likely be like season before last for Arsenal ,if they fail to maintain a big gap in point between them and Manchester city.

Without any doubt they are fumbling, but few things are still needed to be understood that they are having good control at the top with their opponents are also fumbling especially Manchester City without any win in 2026, Aston Villa is having game against Everton, this can cut deficit from 7 to 4 still it's good enough.

Nottingham Forest also having good important point with now they are living in safe zone still they needed hard work for keeping this distance because West Ham is also doing good, few things are clear now top race is almost ended with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City just fourth spot is remaining here fight will go till end.

Manchester United have enough highlights in yesterday game and it's been a while we see such an amazing performance from Manchester United not just to any team but the Almighty Manchester City, I know Manchester City has not really been that trustworthy like they use to be but the fact is there is no way any body could believe Manchester United can play them such game it was really amazing, but I'm quite disappointed on Arsenal they could have won that game yesterday to at least add to the point but yet they drew, seriously speaking I don't see them winning Manchester United this weekend no doubt.
