You should not get your hopes high if am to say, Manchester united being at home doesn’t mean much this season in the law of football I think such teams are even likely to loss, from the setting it still shows that their forms is still inconsistent and they really loss some goals even at the Old Trafford, that phase if I could remember well the “Red Devils” is now just an historical statement, not really a guarantee if I would view it.

Manchester United are not going to be fantastic this season, the moment we stop expecting much from Manchester United then these disappointing results wouldn't hurt anymore because the Red Devils always find a way to disrupt the joy flow for their fans by dropping points irrelevantly. Old Trafford that was once a ground where history was written have suddenly become a ground where record is been made against the hosts. Do you need to see how Manchester United is losing back to back?

Michael Carrick just need to do better this season, he is under pressure but he got no panics because this is still early, alot more is coming in the mid season and he just have to prepare himself and tame up his team because this is no longer the time to joke around but they do mean business.

It has been a long time since anyone expected a high-level performance from Manchester United, as they generally finish the season as a team that fails to translate its intentions into on-field results. It is not easy for the team to return to its glory days, given that the quality of other teams has risen significantly and Manchester United is struggling to keep pace. While it is not always possible for teams to play top-tier football consistently, fans naturally maintain high expectations—and that is perfectly normal.

The task facing the team and the manager is far from easy, yet Manchester United’s squad is by no means poor. One of the team's issues is its inability to deliver consistently good performances; if they can rectify this, they could finish the season in a strong position.

The time that things suppose get better for Manchester United will be getting worst for them, by now they could’ve be in a good place in the table but due to their inconsistency that’s why they still remain where they are. Last season this is how they face challenges in the league, which make everyone was hope for them to do well this season, but still nothing change.

Yeah, Michael Carrick is really confusing for now as the team performances is not yet come back to normal and he have to settle down and focus on the team and make sure he analyzes the team, so that their performances will be up to a standard. Because with if they continue in this way it won’t be funny for Manchester United in the mid of the season, that’s the time I’m expecting the league to be a tough one.

Last season this is how they face of challenges in the league, which make everyone was hope for them to do well this season, but still nothing changed.

Manchester United needs to have good players in all wings before you can see them getting good results in every game they were lucky to have made it to top4 last season but since they still have them same set of players who are not supposed to be in the team due to their age and poor performance but the manager is still keeping them the team will continue to struggle. Last season Carrick style worked for them but this season the league seems to have discovered their style. It is going to be hard for the team to go far if the coach doesn't introduce another style and his players adapt quickly. Nobody should hope to see United win league for now because they do not have the right players to make that happen.

[Davidloki]

The match will likely be decided based on the team that handles the international travel fatigue better because those players will be a bit worn out. Both Man U and Tottenham have some of their key players who went to exhaust themselves in the national team and they will surely have some performance drop-off if they have to play a match just 48 hours after arriving in their respective clubs. I am sure it will come down to the team with a good, fresh substitute on the bench that will scrape away with the victory.

There are no major injury crisis with players from both teams and it's a serious match as well because noth teams need the win, so all starting players would make the squad for that game definitely. Bruno Fernandes, after a long Nations League period cannot miss the game against Tottenham because his presence is important to the team.

Just a few days awa before another EPL match day and i feel quite exciting to welcome EPL back again after international break. So we will have some games to come, and most games to happen at 10 oct.

Here's it.

Arsenal (1.37) vs leeds (8.00)

Sunderland (2.95) vs Brighton (2.31)

Aston Villa (2.70) vs Brentford (2.46)

Chelsea (1.66) vs Bournemouth (4.50)

Ipswich (2.85) vs Fulham (2.35)

Manchester UTD (4.40) vs Tottenham (4.40)

To be honest, i have Arsenal Brighton, Chelsea and Manchester United games to bet on with. So i'm going doing parlay from those games. My prediction Arsenal can easily trash Leeds while the same thing is gonna happen to Brighton to wipeout Brentford. So i'm gonna take money line choice for these

games. Meanwhile, Chelsea's defend is worrying me and i think there will be more than three goals to be scored, then total over 2.5 sounds a wise choice here.

Lastly, The game between two bottom table teams are always hard to predict, but i have MU with better Advantage than Spurs. So i'm going on MU to win because they really need pts.

What's you guys are gonna betting on?

Chelsea situation is quite funny, they have arguable the best attack in the league partnered with one of the worst defense, the lack of caicedo and Enzo is really showing in the matches, though James is trying to patch up things, it’s not enough, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bournemouth takes the win, given what the Bermuda Triangle have been doing this season 😅

Spurs went all out this transfer window and haven’t been able to win a single game since the start of the season sitting at the bottom of the table smh….

This is the reason why Manchester city should face other punishments even though it means banning them from taking part in the English Premier League for some season but they should not be stripped of their trophies.

A ban to Manchester city will discourage the other teams from breaking the rules but this ban will further send a message to all the clubs who has been breaking different financial fair play cause they want to sign a particular player the truth will start coming out cause other teams will be investigated and if they are found guilty they will be made to face the same punishment that will be given to Manchester city.

History will not be rewritten cause the players who won medals with club has taken their medals if they finally strip Manchester city of their trophies then they can only change the number of trophies they won but the medals that was given to the players will not be returned.

For integrity of the game, its important to give strict punishment to anyone who breaks the law. If you keep on sparing teams based on the criteria that its one of top team and has signed top players of the world then it won't good for EPL in the long run. Man City has appealed against the guilty verdict and in next few days we will see outcome of this appeal. No one knows what punishment will be given to Man City in case they were not able to defend themselves. Its not a good time for the Man City players, management and their fans. 

I do not know how this condition may begin to affect the Manchester city players psychologically, on and off the pitch, it can be scary for them that the club might be sent to lower division which is possible to happen as part of the verdict,

Cause right now no body do know what would be ruled in the coming days upon their appeal.  But what we can be sure of is that Manchester city will not escape some punishments for their actions.

It's quite disappointing, and again all hopes are not lost as I still believe Manchester united will end in a more pleasing position this season, they've not been in their best of form no doubt, but the season is still too long to judge nor write them off, on a norm they are really playing out of expectations and I don't really know whom to blame, but I can only urge Michael Carrick to put in more work, like he should apply the same tactics that worked for him last season rather than trying something that will end up ruining everything he's done last season.

But I don't think Manchester United can do much better in this season, they can be in the top 5 at most, but if they continue to play and lose matches, they can go even lower. Last season Manchester United were in the top 3, now it remains to be seen what they do this season, but the way they have started, nothing good can be expected, there have been 5 league matches and from these 5 matches they have only gained 5 points and currently they are in 12th position in the points table. They need to improve a lot, the way they are losing points even against weaker teams, this kind of performance needs to change as soon as possible. Because they will have to face stronger teams ahead, and if they continue to lose points against those teams, then they will go down quite a bit, from where it may be difficult to recover for the whole season.

I think Chelsea will improve after this international break, in the first period of the season, we saw them struggling at that defense, they have conceded so much. I believe Xabi would have used this long period of international break to try and bring solution to the team. Surely Caicedo is missed and Enzo leaving in the last minute of the transfer window have been affecting them in that midfield. We had from sources that Caicedo could be available to face Bournemouth when they play this weekend, that will be a huge boost for them.

Tottenham case is really unbelievable, imagine having a very busy transfer window, spent so much money, bring in quality players and at they end still struggling to get a win. Let believe this long international break would be use to bring in solutions. Let see how they play when they play this coming weekend.

You are not far from.the truth,  because Manchester United have been very poor recently and they have shown a lot of inconsistency this season, whether they are playing at home or away. Tottehanm has also.been very poor, but I think.they have some good players. I just feel they have not clicked and if they do, they might be a problem for team. Manchester United playing at home against them.is definitely an advantage to Manchester United,  but because of their inconsistency we don't know if they can win, but I feel the game is going to produce at least 3 goals.

The season has just started, so there is still a lot to do. I think the pressure on him is probably due to his own success last season. Last season's success has raised the expectations of the fans. When he took over as interim manager, he led Manchester City to third place, winning 11 out of 16 games. As far as I know, he was given the job permanently because of that performance. So everyone is expecting Carrick to do better than last season. But since he has only got 5 points from 5 league matches, the question arises in everyone's mind why the team that changed so quickly last season is not showing the same consistency this time.

[Jessie2121]

Finally we are done with international break, welcome back club football, what a boring week without club banter. Arsenal will start up the game week against Leeds UTD, the away team have playing very well since the beginning of the season and I some how think it will be a problem for Arsenal. As league leaders and champions they need to step up their game especially after the loss against Brighton, it was a terrible performance by Arteta's players like they were ready to lose that game. This is another chance to go back to winning ways, keeping their mind focused in the game, dominate who ever comes their way and stay on top of the league table. Like I said it will be a difficult game for Arsenal so a 2-1 victory for them since they always find it hard to score more than 2 if not 3 goals since this season.

Let believe this long international break would be use to bring in solutions. Let see how they play when they play this coming weekend.

It is well known that Tottenham has spent heavily during the transfer window. While the exact total expenditure can be found by checking the figures, the real issue at hand is the reason behind their failure to win any of their last five Premier League matches.
De Zerbi is no stranger to the Premier League, but his tenure at Spurs could be cut short if he continues to post negative results before reaching the ten-game mark.
Facing Manchester United is certainly no easy task, and this match represents a serious challenge for Tottenham. De Zerbi needs to pay close attention to this fixture, as his future could well hinge on the outcome.

Tottenham has been so terrible and still lost even if they have a much stronger in team based on quality/talents.  I feel Manchester united will come out victorious even if themselves are not consistent but at least they could still cause so much to Tottenham.

While anything can still happen and that means Tottenham winning, the chances for me on this is lower than United winning. Manchester united have a special charm when they play at home yet can still be defeated.

To be honest, i have Arsenal Brighton, Chelsea and Manchester United games to bet on with. So i'm going doing parlay from those games. My prediction Arsenal can easily trash Leeds while the same thing is gonna happen to Brighton to wipeout Brentford. So i'm gonna take money line choice for these

I will say this is a very tricky games you have picked because some of the games, yes Arsenal looks easily to win against Leeds but let’s be honest Leeds actually are not bad and with some players of this Arsenal team coming of the international break I do think that there could be some upsets in most of this games, for the game between Manchester United and Tottenham I can easily say that this is very tricky game, Manchester at home to Tottenham is supposed to be an easy win for Manchester United but I will tell you that this game will be made difficult by Manchester United we could even see Tottenham recording their first win against Manchester United.

Then the game between Aston Villa vs Brentford is another game that could go both ways. Although Aston Villa have started the season very badly I do think they can use this game to bounce back. Then there is the Brentford side who have been convincing this season for me. I am leaning on Aston Villa not to lose this game

Because of Manchester United home advantage, i think Tottenham will lose or, if lucky get a draw in the game on Sunday. Neither Manchester United nor Tottenham has been impressive, the two teams really fell behind, instead of trusting Tottenham, Manchester United are at an advantage, Tottenham has been the worst of teams, so far in the Premier League, after all the spending on players.

Honestly I would also advise people not to add Arsenal to their sleep this weekend. And even if they have to, then it’s shouldn’t be the 1x2 option. but rather they shouldn’t bet on total goals, over/under. that looks safer in my opinion. I’m sure we are not new to the upset that come after an international break like this, teams tend to frustrate bettors and this particular game is another early kick off 12:30 pm that usually ends in a surprising result. Arsenal will always be the favorites to win before the game starts, but trust me don’t expect much from them else you might be surprised at the end.

Manchester United has the home-field advantage. Tottenham has already made a very poor start to the season. I don't think they will pose a major obstacle for Manchester United. However, Manchester United has suffered some unexpected dropped points. I believe Manchester United holds the advantage provided they don't play as poorly as they did against Hull City, they will win.
