⚽ Premier League 2026/2027 Discussion Thread ⚽

[KingsDen]

the only thing I find weird is that Carrick didn’t rotate his players for the upcoming derby on Sunday. Bruno Fernandes shouldn’t be playing 90 minutes when you’re already 3 nil up.

That’s true, it was a risky decision on Carrick’s part. Fortunately, Bruno Fernandes didn’t get injured in last night’s match against Sabah, because if he had, it would have been a setback for Manchester United, since they’re set to face Manchester City this coming Sunday.

But we all know that Bruno is among the most consistent players Manchester United has ever got. He is not an injury prone player, I wonder why you are bringing injury here. I mean, if you say I should be on any Manchester United player that will not get injured until the season is over, my surest shot is on Bruno.

I agree that Bruno was supposed to be subbed when Manchester United started leading by 3 goals, but meanwhile we should not blame Carrick. Bruno deserves all the minutes, who knows this will be his season for the Balloon d'Or award.

Congratulations to all the bettors who made some money from United’s game tonight. 

Congratulations indeed . Their games are so inconsistent, all the time's I choose to add them in my bet they always mess up, and now I get scared of betting on them, I could bet on them today because I have totally lost confidence on the team. And with their performance today the urge of betting on them will eventually increase, but I will not let it until I have seen how their next 4 games will be like, but for now Manchester united will have to go off my bet list for a while.

Man United won against a small club and even Sabah FK club logo wasn't on Livescores, so it's quite natural that Man United could win that match. Actually, when betting we also need to see who the opponent is if they're a weak team, there's nothing wrong with betting on Man United. Because anyway when facing a weak team, they can dominate the game, and when a team can dominate, goals are easy to score.

In the upcoming EPL Man United will face Man City. Looking at the opponent Man United is up against a tough team, and even though they are playing at home, betting on a Man United win carries a big risk because their performance in the EPL so far is still unstable. On top of that, Man City will definitely use this match to secure a win to stay at the top of the table, especially since so far the only teams to have a perfect record in the first three matches are Man City and Arsenal.

[WatChe]

I share same thoughts with you, Manchester United are going to bring out all their artilleries on that day to unleash on City, it's a derby match, and without much saying, the odds are in favor of city, so Manchester United are like the underdogs in this encounter, but in a bid to prove a point, United wouldn't want to stand idle, they will literally fight with everything they have, it's a super Sunday game, one of the biggest since the league started.

If we look at performance of Man City and Man United after week 3 then Man City is way ahead of Man United. Time is running out for Man United to start winning matches becasue if they were not able to do good after week 10 then there fans have to wait for the next season. Man City is at number one on points table while Man United is on number eleven spot, still we can't say that it will be an easy win for Man City. EPL is top league and every team has the ability to beat any other team in the league, just look at performance of Hull City.

[GIF-JOBS]

anyways it was a good performance from Manchester United i was impressed, but it’s a small opposition they’re meant to be winning such games convincingly.

Manchester United won the match easily, and it was expected, and they won the match by a big margin, as expected, keeping full control of the match. However, I will not say that they did something extraordinary, because the opponent was weak. But the next match will be the real match and I am very excited about that match. Because Manchester United will face a strong team in the next match, Manchester City. Of course, I expect Manchester City to win there. However, a competitive performance can be expected from a Manchester United, but I think that even if Manchester United performs strongly, they can draw the match, but they will not be able to win the match against Manchester City.

[Nightwatchmare]

The thing is Manchester city have always struggled to beat Manchester United at old trafford in recent years, so now with Manchester city With a new coach and a new project, they might still find it hard to beat Manchester United. There is just this spirit Manchester United develop each time they play against Manchester city. Regardless I think it going to be an interesting game, for me I will definitely enjoy this one, especially when my club have won for the week already.

So what would you rather gamble on in this game. Goals, win, corners or even fouls. For me I thinking I would rather gamble on the corner option, I feel it safer.

Manchester City usually beat Manchester United at etihad stadium but when they visit oldtrafford Manchester United usually beat them back even if they are struggling. Because of Manchester United struggles in the premier league this season i want to bet Manchester City to win Manchester United in the Manchester derby i believe Manchester United current performance in the 3 games they played so far this season they cannot beat Manchester City at oldtrafford. Manchester derby is always an interesting game, i cannot wait for the derby to kick off.

Considering the strength, it is not possible to put any team ahead, both Manchester City and Manchester United are very strong teams. No team should be judged by the first few matches of the season. The Premier League is a competition where even the lower placed team in the table has the ability to defeat the top placed team.

I think the main difference in the match will be based on the support of the fans. In this respect, Manchester United will definitely be ahead. The parade of fans during the match will definitely give Manchester United the necessary confidence to win. In this match, we will see goals from both sides, the match may be a draw or a low-interruption match.

I was impressed with their last yesterday with Sabah but I don't think that can make me want to change how Manchester United are going to win Manchester City, it's not possible. It's not even a debate, they don't have what it takes to win it that is why I'm doubting it. There is no way they will draw with Everton and win Manchester City, they probably win Sabah in the Champions League because they met one of the luckiest team that made it through from play off from other clubs.

There is two things involved in what will come of Manchester United, let's say they are going to do better, they win Manchester City, if they can pull that they can win their next 4 matches without any problem but if they lose to Manchester City, the next line features are going to use them for bonus in the table. Maybe they don't stand any match now till October when they face Tottenham.

If we look at performance of Man City and Man United after week 3 then Man City is way ahead of Man United.

Man City may be way ahead but this match isn't gonna be easy for them either. Infact, I think Man United is most likely to pick a win in this game. I understand the squad depth in City and all of that but believe me, Man United are usually more comfortable and composed while playing the big games than an average club.

Beside the present Man United squad aren't bad either, they are just yet to find their rythm imo.

When a team does well, we are supposed to say it. We should not bring any excuse by saying that the opposition team Manchester United played with is weak. We should give them the praise for winning the match 4-0 with a clean sheet. It is not easy because any team that qualified for the Champions League is good; no weak team qualifies to the Champions League. We have to admit that Manchester United put up a very good performance to win the game after not being in the Champions League for some time.

All six teams from the Premier League that qualified for the Champions League all won their first matches; it is a good representation from them. I will want to see the majority of them qualifying above the group stage, and based on their first match performances, they can do it.

We have better players than Manchester United, so as of right now, we have a better chance of winning the game, and aside from the points, they have a better chance of winning. It's not because it's my club; I know what we're capable of, and I'm confident that Haaland will score a goal, which is what I'm expecting. People underestimated us and are unaware that we are still very active. More reasons why I feel they should be able to win is that we have seen the both of them play so we should be able to decide who is going to win and this is more reasons why I know for sure it is our game.

Honestly let’s not even pretend like we don’t know that Manchester City will beat man united in this match, man city is too big for man united to handle right now. Derby can always surprise us but I don’t see myself putting my money on man united to win man city, it would be man city without thinking twice. I know they will fight to win at old trafford but they can not stop man city from win the match.

I also think that, even if Manchester United tries hard, the chances will be in favor of Manchester City, Manchester City's attack is also very good, and their defense is also very good. They defeat their opponents by maintaining more ball possession in the match. Manchester City is undefeated in the last 3 matches in the Premier League and they are in the top position, and they will not want to be knocked out of this top position easily, because if a match is unexpected, their biggest rival Arsenal will go to the top, and so they will definitely play the match with the aim of winning the match at any cost. And since Manchester United is one of the top team in the Premier League, I will also expect Manchester City to win as the top team.

When I bet on them, I will definitely give more importance to the possibility of Manchester City winning. Because Manchester City's current situation is quite good compared to Manchester United. Even Manchester City's squad, depth, tactical consistency and all aspects are better than Manchester United.

But this time, since we are discussing the Derby match, I will not say that the victory is guaranteed directly. In such a situation, the difference between the two teams is often not fully understood in the performance on the field. Because we have seen before how even the weak teams gave their best in the Derby match.

Its the Manchester derby, so I really expect Manchester United to try to give their best in the match. It's never an easy match between these teams and its a match they always play for pride, so I am expecting a very interesting match. Manchester City look stronger than Manchester United right now, but it's not going to be an easy ride for them, like I mentioned earlier Manchester United will be playing for bragging right, so I am expecting them to play a good game on Sunday.

Manchester United results for their last three games, one loss, a draw, and one win. Manchester City have a good start over Manchester United, and of course they should be considered the favorite, since it will be at United's own stadium, we will expect a big battle, City are also not consistent, which makes us believe that United can actually push for a draw to end the week four fixture and be successful doing so.

The match is going to be an interesting game considering that sometimes form may not necessarily determine the outcome of a match. Manchester city has a strong squad, however Manchester United will definitely want to prove themselves in this match. Manchester city still stand a better chance of winning this match, but the match is not going to be that easy for Manchester city to win. The outcome of this match may affect how Manchester United will perform in their next matches.

Joao Pedro wins his first ever Player of the Month award with Chelsea.

He becomes the first Chelsea striker to win the Premier League Player of the Month award since Diego Costa in 2016.

It is over a decade since a Chelsea striker won it. Many changes are coming at Chelsea Football Club.

[Taricoins]

anyways it was a good performance from Manchester United i was impressed, but it’s a small opposition they’re meant to be winning such games convincingly.

However, a competitive performance can be expected from a Manchester United, but I think that even if Manchester United performs strongly, they can draw the match, but they will not be able to win the match against Manchester City.

We shouldn't even call that Man United last match a win because that Sabah of a team was literally founded 3 years ago if am not mistaken, it was inevitable. Concerning the City and united derby, I don't even know what to predict because this City is  not the one we knew with Pep and I still think they are a bit shaky. Carrick can take advantage of that but the good thing is that United will be playing at home

[AYOBA]

Man United won against a small club and even Sabah FK club logo wasn't on Livescores, so it's quite natural that Man United could win that match. Actually, when betting we also need to see who the opponent is if they're a weak team, there's nothing wrong with betting on Man United. Because anyway when facing a weak team, they can dominate the game, and when a team can dominate, goals are easy to score.

Normal whenever Manchester United facing small club they always find their game very easy to win, that’s why anytime I see their results against small it won’t be a surprise thing to me. Because when it come to a small teams they always make sure they do well and having so many goals, but i keep wonder why they can’t did the same thing when facing a strong team is that there are afraid of strong clubs or what?

In the upcoming EPL Man United will face Man City. Looking at the opponent Man United is up against a tough team, and even though they are playing at home, betting on a Man United win carries a big risk because their performance in the EPL so far is still unstable. On top of that, Man City will definitely use this match to secure a win to stay at the top of the table, especially since so far the only teams to have a perfect record in the first three matches are Man City and Arsenal.

I think their performances in the premier league is even worse than others league. Even that their coming match against Manchester City I didn’t hope for them to win that match, due to their current performances is not that encouraging. I’m not that good in betting but even though I choose to bet I will not give Manchester United a straight winning what a big risks.

[JeromeTash]

I also think that, even if Manchester United tries hard, the chances will be in favor of Manchester City, Manchester City's attack is also very good, and their defense is also very good. They defeat their opponents by maintaining more ball possession in the match. Manchester City is undefeated in the last 3 matches in the Premier League and they are in the top position, and they will not want to be knocked out of this top position easily, because if a match is unexpected, their biggest rival Arsenal will go to the top, and so they will definitely play the match with the aim of winning the match at any cost. And since Manchester United is one of the top team in the Premier League, I will also expect Manchester City to win as the top team.

Just so you know. In such derbies, the form of a team usually does not work, which is why you have seen Manchester United beat Manchester City even when Pep Guardiola was still coach and Manchester City was in red-hot form.
I would give this derby a 50-50 chance of both teams winning, maybe even a draw.
