One game that looks tricky to me this weekend is the game between Arsenal and Sunderland, Sunderland this season is one team that one can't predict due to the way that they has been performing ever since getting promotions to the premier League. Arsenal should not underrate Sunderland because Arsenal will be doing themselves much harm if they decide to take Sunderland for granted going into this game. This is because football especially the premier League is full of surprises and Arsenal should take approach this game as if they are playing a top team.

Manchester city and Liverpool will be meeting this week and there’s every chance that Liverpool may win Manchester city or they draw the match thereby making Manchester City to drop point.

If I were Arteta, I wouldn't be paying attention to the Liverpool Vs City game, because this isn't the right time to start hoping that your contenders drop points, while you fail to take yours. Of course, Liverpool looks very much like the better side, but it is best for Arsenal to win their game tomorrow. tbh, this Sunderland side looks very much like a tricky side that shouldn't be underestimated. After dropping 2 points to them at their home, I think it is best if Arteta reviews that same game to his boys ahead of the one at the Emirates tomorrow. And,, they better find a better approach to win the game at all cost, because thbe level at which Sunderland just loves playing a low block can easily frustrate a side that doesn't create too many chances from open play.

Tomorrow the opening match is going to be a lovely one!



Manchester United with a three-win streak are about to challenge Tottenham at Old Trafford... Carrick is doing a magnificent work. It's time to attack for his fourth win in a row.

This is literally a big game, and boom.... The premier league had to make it an early kickoff.
Well, with recent performance, United should be winning this unarguably, but football can just be football sometimes. But I doubt if Thomas Frank can actually pull this off and even fight at all considering the number of injuries to his first team players. I won't be surprised if the game is completely dominated by one side, but I would approach something interesting and not a boring 90mins.

I’m very sure that Arsenal can win Sunderland in this match tomorrow because Arsenal is more inform and they are doing very well this season. Sunderland is strong this season but I’m not sure they can withstand Arsenal and for the fact that they are coming to Arsenal stadium to play the match Arsenal will have home advantage and they will surely win the match however Arsenal usually make some certain mistake and some in matches but I believe they will not do such because they really want to lift the Premier league title this season and if they should keep making mistake, then lifting the Premier league title would be difficult for them. They have Manchester city on their back so they need to do everything possible to make sure that they give them a very good  point gap.

Sunderland started well, sharing second place with Liverpool after 10 rounds, but they are now ordinary mid-table team. They shouldn't pose any threat to Arsenal, here's what the bookmakers think about this game now:

1.23 - 5.20 - 13.50

By the way, I'm surprised that the bookmakers are so generous in their assessment of Sunderland's victory, lately it's hard to see odds higher than 10x, and this is not because the teams have improved their level and the competition has become more intense (although this is true in relation to the Premier League), but because the bookmakers are being greedy.

Even the from the odds they’re very little chance for Sunderland to even draw not to talk of even winning Arsenal Tomorrow and for Sure I’m really sure Arsenal will smash Sunderland and grab the three points.

Sunderland saw a massive decline in their promising performance at the start of this season, they started really well and then mid season they’re now losing and drawing matches, they won their last match against Burnley though but that still doesn’t make them any better and this is a good opportunity for Arsenal to solidify their position at the top of the Premier League table this season.

This will be a difficult one for Manchester United, but for this one I'm going to bet on Manchester United to win this one, I know it is risky to do so, and I'm not advising any one to bet on Manchester United to have a win over tottenham, but this is just a risk I'm taking and is not that I'm having confidence on them, just for the fact that, I'm having the believe they are going to have that win, due to some reasons as they are playing at home and because Manchester United has not recorded any win over tottenham for a long time now.

With the new update on Manchester United, they can do it and as you said I will bet for Manchester United to win as well. Tottenham Hotspur can't win Manchester United for now unless they draw the Match. And Manchester United is not coming to draw with any team for now.

Leads United vs Nottingham Forest is playing currently and the game is undecidable for a gambler to predict any of the teams to win. Predicted foe any of the teams to win.

[Mr Reporter]

Carrick has had a good start, and perhaps he should be given more opportunities. Amorim's management wasn't bad either, but he often made the necessary moves too late in many games. Carrick, on the other hand, has faced tough matches so far and managed to win every single one. This actually shows how talented and promising he is. He's another manager who gives me hope after Xabi.

Well to me I feel he is more important to him team and he should do better in the next game just as you have made mention he had really faced a lot of challenges in the last game’s, He's definitely making waves with his tactical prowess and leadership. Winning tough matches is no easy feat, and his start is impressive. Amorim's experience won't be wasted, but Carrick's fresh approach might be just what the team needs.

I feel he need to still work more on he self very well most time because I feel sometimes Winning is more hard than you can think and now that is look more like he is showing wave’s and starting promising is the one that is more surprising to me, I was reading that he even made some timely moves….

This  should be an easy game for Arsenal especially now that Sunderland has gone down in the premier league table which means there form has reduced drastically but I wish it was when they were still at top 2 or 3 it would have been a bit tough for Arsenal to win them but now I can't really tell about Sunderland but as for Arsenal, there form is really impressive and I'm tempted to say that it is almost impossible for team like Sunderland to stand before them but football itself is full of wonders so we can't really tell.

This will be a tough game for the Gunners not as most people may think, Sunderland has been winning tougher team this season though no team is consistent than Arsenal in the league that why some people think that Arsenal winning Sunderland will be very easy for them, well this football where anything is possible we can't tell or even predict it, i won't still be astonished if Sunderland wins Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

[SirLancelot]

Even if Carrick is somehow benefiting from the signings Amorim has made, then why didn't Amorim benefited from them and Carrick is doing that? The entire logic is that Amorim should have been doing better, they spent 200+ million, I think somewhere near 250 million, and he didn't do that greatly.

I think it's also not about the results, because when Amorim left they were like just couple points away from fourth place and now they are there. So not like Amorim left the team at 10th place and Carrick took them to fourth place, they were already either fifth or sixth if I am not wrong only couple points away from it. So it's clear that Amorim was decent enough, and Carrick is a bit better so far with the results he got but lets wait some more games to judge.

[Dzwaafu11]

It is still early to make sure about Carrick to be the one for Manchester United. But this is definitely a marvelous start by him! He beat Arsenal and Manchester City in 9 days. Now it is a 3-win streak with the Fulham one...

Carrick needs to keep winning as much as possible. If he manages to keep the team in top 4 by the end of the season then I think he will have a bigger chance to get a new contract. Otherwise I don't think he will be permanent.

Carrick was appointed as manager until the end of the season. So far, Carrick's work has been quite satisfactory, as he took over mid-season without a pre-season, and the team wasn't in top form. However, Carrick has been able to revive Manchester United's performance. Carrick is a talented coach, and he will certainly want to demonstrate to the management that he deserves a long-term contract as Manchester United manager.

Carrick is actually doing well, the new manChester United manager is doing unexpected work. Because I believe many of us didn’t expect this much from the new manager, even after we all thought he will do but mot this match.

Right now, Manchester United is in good form, they keeping winning their matches, I just hope Carrick will be able to keep this consistency till ending of the season. By then I will say the manager is very good. Now is too early for me to say that his going keep his consistency for a long, but his doing well at the moment.

Man United are performing well and they are also having a good run, so I think it's very likely that they will get another win in their next match. Tottenham is not an easy opponent, but considering the situation Tottenham is currently facing, I am quite confident that Man United can win those 3 points. Yes, Tottenham is facing an injury crisis, so Thomas Frank doesn't have many options to choose from, and besides that, Tottenham will be playing away.

Three consecutive wins is something you wouldn't expect, considering two of the opponents were Arsenal and Man City. Many doubt Man United this season, but if they can beat Tottenham and get four wins in a row, then I think Man United may have a chance to finish in the top four.

That's true, the praise is worthy. What will be tested is his consistency, this time he's only had 3 wins in a row, so there's still a lot to catch up on because if he's only able to give a breakthrough for a little while I think the management will also think twice about keeping him, plus Manchester United are cruel in firing their coach if he's no longer productive.
There is a chance if we continue to win like before, but the opposing team will definitely look for loopholes in the strategy that Carrick has developed. If they find loopholes, I think Manchester United won't have much hope.

He deserves the award for the manager of the month, he's been very successful since he took over as the interim manager of the club and has made things easy for the players, Carrick has proved to be a good coach to rely on for short-term goals, I'm confident that he'll try take Manchester United to the Champions League.
 They're in good form, all thanks to Carrick and another good thing is that all the players love him, he's helped boost their confidence and made them a fierce team to play against, Manchester United is now an interesting team to watch again. Well the match against Tottenham is a big test and I can't wait to see how the team handles it.

Many mind are still doubting Manchester United and we can not blame them for that, because it will be risky to put a trust on them, no matter the improvement with their recent performance. Manchester is a team that is tricky in so many ways.

For those persons that want to bet on this game, we can see that Manchester United have the smallest odd to bet on and tottenham is have about 4 odds to win this game, and this is one thing about United, they will be having bigger odd to win, then they will start performing well, to have a small odd, then they will fully disappoint thousands that will hope on them.

Do you remember the man waiting for cutting his hair on the condition that Manchester United win 5 in a row? I hope the poor guy finally manages to do it.  

A club that's on a good run against a club that sometimes turns into a pretty dominant club when it comes to the big club.
In terms of conditions I think Manchester United are now very capable of 3 points because they are the favorites for this match coupled with their conditions in the last few matches which are quite dominant 3 points add to their current value.

But Tottenham are sometimes unexpected at some moments so this makes it possible for them to be more able to provide resistance. I expect this match to dance but for 3 points I still believe Manchester United can get a win in this match.

This is because football especially the premier League is full of surprises and Arsenal should take approach this game as if they are playing a top team.

Let me explain the players Arsenal use when they draw with Sunderland and why I think it might not going to be the same on the second match, Merino, Sakai and Trossard was the three front strikers on Arsenal but this match things will change and Arsenal might use three different strikers on the first half that Sunderland have not seen on the last draw and this three will be Madueke Gyokeres and Martinelli, so this people will even give Arsenal the wining they're looking for from the first half and besides Sunderland as a team who were playing as a club that came to win the premier League is not that strong form now.

Indeed what is surprising me about that matchday fixtures is the odd given to Arsenal to win this match which is just approximately 1.2 comparing the risk against playing an unpredictable team like Sunderland, it's not just worth it.

But one thing that would make this match a straight win for Arsenal is that they would be playing at there home field because at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland are just another beast. As always, I will be rooting for Sunderland to take some points of of Arsenal

So it's clear that Amorim was decent enough, and Carrick is a bit better so far with the results he got but lets wait some more games to judge.

Amorim brought in some players but he couldn't do much and in the end he was sacked. Carrick took over with the same squad but he brought hope to Manchester United. Amorim should have been able to do more than what he did, but football is too complex to compare it like that.

I think Carrick's success in some games is probably because he was in charge of this team, so he knows a bit about what to do. But I also still want to see how far Carrick can maintain what he has done, because this is just the beginning and usually Manchester United are good when they get a new coach, but after that they decline.

We know how tottenham are very stubborn when it comes to the play against Manchester United, and if we check there previous head to head, we can tell that tottenham have the dominant against United and there is no doubt to say Tottenham have been dominating United.

We this is a new run for United, because we can say things are quiet different from the club right now and we can see how united are playing with confidence. It will not be an easy one for United, but they have the potential to win this game.

Today we only have one game, which will be Leeds United against Nottingham Forest. Interesting fact about these two teams:

Nottingham Forest = 24 games, 7 wins, 17th position

Leeds United = 24 games, 6 wins, 16th position

Bookmakers are placing Leeds United as favorites:

Leeds United @2.22; Draw @3.35; Nottingham Forest @3.45

Leeds United are strong when playing at home, but I believe both teams will score and there will be a draw.

Its so surprising how the bookies knew that Leeds was going to win the match because I see Nottingham Forest as a better team than Leeds but it seems there are other factors playing out here rather than the name. One of those factors I think should be home advantage, something that Leeds treasure so much. They have shown great resilience at home than most of the big clubs, so it is understandable why they are defeating Nottingham Forest 3-0.

This is because football especially the premier League is full of surprises and Arsenal should take approach this game as if they are playing a top team.

Sunderland performed quite well in the first leg of their Premier League match against Arsenal, managing to draw 2-2. The main reason they were able to hold Arsenal to a draw was because they were playing at home. R Le Bris, a Sunderland player, tried to implement a strategy by moving advertising boards to the sidelines to narrow the space for the opposition to use long throws. As we know, under Arteta's guidance, this strategy is quite effective in creating deadly chances from the sidelines. And it was evident in that match that Arsenal looked helpless, with quite limited space, this strategy did not work. Meanwhile, in the upcoming match, Arsenal will be playing at home, they will be in control of the pitch, and I predict that Arsenal will win this match quite easily.
