For me, the Liverpool match is more important and exciting to watch. It’s not because Liverpool is my favorite team, but matches against Crystal Palace are always exciting.
33 minutes into the game, when I just started watching, Liverpool was already trailing, but that didn’t happen because the goal was disallowed.
And there it is—Mac Allister became the first Liverpool player in this match to put Liverpool ahead of Crystal Palace.

Chelsea is already down by one goal. This is our chance to move into fourth place.

Manchester City has lost three Premier League matches in a row. This is a bad moment for Maresca and the players. They had a good start of the season, many people were saying they were having a good start and they are ready to fight for the league, but at this point, Manchester City are far from fighting for the league title. From losing against Brighton, Aston Villa, and now it’s Nottingham Forest who are struggling to escape the relegation zone.

I knew Arsenal would use the opportunity to increase their chances of winning the league. I didn’t expect Manchester City to suffer three defeats in a row in the Premier League, they spent a lot of money on players, yet they couldn’t even win against a team that is struggling to win. Terrible performance before the international break, Nottingham Forest secured their second win of the season against Manchester City.

I'm not surprised that Manchester City is struggling now to win matches because I expected them to suffer from Pep Guardiola absence. But honestly losing three consecutive matches is a very big disappointment for Maresca, I'm sure by now the management will be having doubts about his ability to lead this team to success. I have said this before that if Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City, Mikel Arteta has the experience to rule over the Premier League just like Pep Guardiola and that sign has started showing.

Arsenal have 27 points while Manchester City have 21, so Arsenal are maintaining top place with 6 point difference over Manchester City who are in second position. And there's also a possibility for City to drop from second today because Brighton have 19 points and they will play Brentford today. If Brighton win they will move to City's position.

Manchester City's current travails are sort of overwhelming and at this stage the team has to show character by getting over the losses and looking forward to getting back to winning streaks.

The points they are dropping right now may be very detrimental to their title hopes specially as the league leaders are increasing their lead at the top whenever Manchester city losses a match.

This apparently means the title race has already begun and Manchester city has to close in on Arsenal cause this season's title race seems to be between both clubs, just as last season.

As many predicted Liverpool looks set to win this match. In the live Premier League standings, they have moved up to fourth place, while Crystal Palace sits at the bottom of the table, below Manchester United. Liverpool leads 0–1 at half time. I believe they could extend their lead in the second half if they play with more tactical discipline and patience. They must remain vigilant as the counter attacks spearheaded by players like Yeremy Pino are highly dangerous. If Liverpool loses focus either Yeremy Pino or Jorgen Larsen could find the back of the net so they need to stay alert to secure the win.

I was surprised by Manchester City 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest because I was sure that the bottom team would not be able to put up any resistance against the top team. The result was beyond my imagination and I lost the bet.
Manchester City are already 6 points behind the current leaders Arsenal. To escape this bad situation and continue the title fight, Manchester City need to win against Fulham in their next match. After losing to a weak opponent, there is no excuse for a strong team.

[laspol65]

At present, Liverpool has already scored two goals, Crystal Palace has created such an aggressive attitude that Crystal Palace is unable to correct itself in any way. This situation has been able to lead Liverpool to further improvement at the present time, but the way Liverpool performed last season, they have not improved much this season. However, Liverpool should be more aggressive so that they can win against strong teams. There is only a short time left before the end of this match, so Liverpool can collect points, but Crystal's winning performance is impossible, so it can be said for sure that Liverpool will win this match.

The equation could change if Haaland, Cherki, Foden can give the whole team a consistent performance in attack without injuries. Arsenal are currently ahead on points but to stay ahead in the title race they need to continue this consistency until the end, so I don't want to write City off for now.They have the ability to turn things around, but whether they can prove that ability with their performance on the pitch is a matter of consideration. However, I agree that their problem isn't just losing points but losing three consecutive Premier League matches and this defeat has greatly affected the team's confidence and consistency.

Chelsea has done it again this is so frustrating for Chelsea how can they lose to sunderland at the end of the day, I honestly expected a win for Chelsea only for this game to end a 0:1 against Chelsea, the funny part of the game is that from the start of the game sunderland played as if they are among the top 4 on the list like they pressured like serious it's unfortunate for Chelsea losing a team like sunderland.
At the end of the day sunderland really deserve the win against Chelsea because Chelsea was so sluggish in the game as if they already were comfortable with whatever the outcome of the match would be.

[yenerbatmaz]

What on earth is happening in Manchester? It’s only the 4th minute of the match, and Aston Villa are already 2-0 up. If things continue like this, we might see a historic scoreline today—which would likely mean this is Carrick’s final match. They managed to turn a 0-2 deficit around against Roma, but I don’t see that happening today.
Look at what has become of the once-legendary Manchester United. It’s truly sad—there must be some serious turmoil within the squad, right?

It’s over. We won by a convincing score of 1–3. Fourth place is now ours, since Chelsea also lost to Sunderland.
Iraola did a pretty good job. He trusted Mac Allister to lead the midfield until the final whistle. There isn’t much else I want to say.
Beating Crystal Palace will give us good momentum heading into our next Premier League match against Manchester United.

[Adbitco]

It will keep on piling for Manchester United, the match hasn't even started and they are already losing 1 - 0 in less than 2 minutes of kick off, Manchester United is no longer a football club but a gathering of individuals who are just playing away themselves. You can imagine how mediocre the club has become. They keep on going down on each match day, they will remain in relegation zone unless they are able to pull off the kind of miracle they pulled off on midweek against Roma in the champions League of not, they will end this week just one step above bottom position. It's really going to be a long evening, let's watch and see.

There is at least 1 Bruno penalty goal that makes the match can still be saved by Manchester United in the remaining time: D

The early minutes the players still seemed not too ready to kick off with 2 goals in 4 minutes this made the situation a little worse but Bruno's penalty slightly loosened the tension at this time.
Manchester United need to do a few things at least to turn this into a draw if they are still struggling for 3 points.

The expectation is of course to make a comeback like it happened a few days ago when they played Roma but Aston Villa are certainly not an easy opponent especially after they won 1-2 now the mentality might be getting better. The flow of the game is trying to be controlled by Manchester United now but for the first half I doubt this score will change.

It was a pretty crazy game, and it could have been the fastest goal of the season by an Aston Villa player, Alysson did that and Jackson followed, 2-0 in under 5 minutes, what is it with Manchester United, I would ask the same question, and they are like people who don't know how to play, or they are not ready after the whistle is blown by the referee?

They need to quickly improve the players in their backline, Manchester United need to counter things so that the result does not become an additional defeat again and again, they have already entered the relegation zone, is manchester really already ruined?,,, I feel like they can still bounce back until the end of the season, but how have they really crumbled this season?

[Nightwatchmare]

Mikel Arteta will most definitely win the Premier League Competition all over again

Definitely?

One mess up and Brighton will have it, the team every onece regarded to a small team ends up winning the primer league will be the first thing you'll see in news  

Mind you it's very possible, Brighton recently has been a problem for big teams and even small teams, they are not biased.

Manchester City is the only team i rate to complete with Arsenal for the league title but right now i am thinking Manchester City cannot be able to pull that string again as they are 6 points behind Arsenal even their current performance look lik they are going to drop points before Arsenal would drop points. Arsenal have no competition this season, so Brighton cannot end up winning the league title this season.

[Iranus]

So, has the decline of City's and Chelsea's performance begun

Manchester City started season in such a manner that I thought they would be champions. Winning streak of  7 consecutive match! But, following that, they faced defeat in three successive game. While loss against Brighton might be acceptable, being defeated by 3-1 margin against a team at bottom of the table like Nottingham Forest is embarrassing.

The Blues have also lost two of their last three match. Just short while ago, they suffered 1-0 defeat against Sunderland. This is shameful. If this home team hadn't won this match, they would now be at very bottom of table. The team remain in relegation zone.

If there isn't an improvement in performances of both Manchester City and Chelsea, they will not be able to stay in top  4. Liverpool and Aston Villa's performance are gradually growing stronger.

To my greatest surprise United was able to end the first half in a 2-2 draw regardless conceding two early goals within four minutes. After Jackson goal Manchester United became stronger and took over the ball possession which gave them a penalty and it was brilliantly taken by Fernandez. After several shots on target with their endless attack on Villa defense, Teilesman was able to score the equalizing goal on the 44th minutes to level the game 2-2. If not for Suzuki, United would have scored more than two goals.

A very exciting match. After falling behind 0-2 goals, Manchester United equalized the score in the first half. We saw 4 goals in the first half, the second half of the game may be more aggressive and exciting. The result of the match is still uncertain, it is not possible to predict what will happen in the final result. Because, it seems that Manchester United have woken up and they want to get rid of relegation. Aston Villa was very pressured towards the end of the first half, there was a big difference between the beginning of the match and the end of the first half. They are not willing to lose against Manchester United in any way. Let's see what happens in the second half!

[GIF-JOBS]

Watch the match between Manchester United and Aston Villa, the match is very competitive, Aston Villa scored the first goal in the 1st minute and the second goal in the 4th minute, but Manchester United is trying to play well now, in the 16th minute they got a penalty and scored the goal, and later in the 44th minute they scored the second goal and now the score is equal. It is not yet known who will win the match, but in the first half Manchester United played quite well, because they conceded two goals in four minutes but they did not lose confidence and equalized the score in the first half. Now in the second half we may see more goals from both teams, neither team is ready to lose the match and so it is very difficult to determine the winner right now.

but I didn't like the result of the Chelsea vs Sunderland match today at all. I expected Chelsea to win this match. In the last match, they beat Manchester United 2-0, and their attack there was very good. But I didn't expect them to lose 1-0 against a team like Sunderland. Basically, Chelsea's attack was very weak in today's match.

33 minutes into the game, when I just started watching, Liverpool was already trailing, but that didn’t happen because the goal was disallowed.
And there it is—Mac Allister became the first Liverpool player in this match to put Liverpool ahead of Crystal Palace.

Chelsea is already down by one goal. This is our chance to move into fourth place.

At the end it was a good result for Liverpool, just the response they needed after that arsenal defeat. Crystal palace is one of the worst team in the league, so I was expecting Liverpool to win this game with ease and they did. It also nice to the Liverpool big money scoring, both Witz and Isak are on the scoresheet.

Chelsea suffer a defeat against Sunderland, it always a hostile ground for them, they lost both of their games against Sunderland last season. Chelsea will now go into the international break with a defeat. I think Chelsea injuries have really affected in this game.

[NewRevelation]

I was surprised by Manchester City 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest because I was sure that the bottom team would not be able to put up any resistance against the top team. The result was beyond my imagination and I lost the bet.
Manchester City are already 6 points behind the current leaders Arsenal. To escape this bad situation and continue the title fight, Manchester City need to win against Fulham in their next match. After losing to a weak opponent, there is no excuse for a strong team.

That is why it's football. So many things can happen that leaves fans shocked. I was amazed as well. I watched the match from the second half, and the home team really played well. At the time when city was trying to restore the game to a 2:2 draw, the home team made 3:1, and that completely shattered there hope and broke there wings.  Football is full of mystery and that game was one of a mystery.

City needs to change plans and play pattern. They have the players, but things aren't working for them anymore. It could be lack of a creative midfielders or good and creating wingers. Yesterday during the game, it seemed that Halaand wasn't in the game. There was no impact as forest's defense short him out completely. Forest were fantastic yesterday, whole city needs to improve there play pattern.

The first 14 minutes was a nightmare for the players, they changed everything immediately they scored the first goal, Manchester United were playing like a hungry lion, it's been long I saw such a hunger from the club apart from against AS Roma in the last game. Manchester United turned the half from a losing 2:0 to drawing 2:2, the pressure was from the team is showing me that Carrick has been talking to his players. It was Amad who could have scored the goal few moments before Tielemans finally equalised. Second half will be more interesting, more attacks from both of them but I'm on Manchester United side,.Maino is back from injury, his giving Manchester United good balance in midfield.
