Premier League matchday 23, Arsenal vs Manchester United

The matchday 23 has super big match must waiting for Arsenal vs Manchester United, for this match no doubt favorable Manchester United for winning the match after success beating Manchester City at matchday 23.
Have confidence performance and has almost one week for recovering I think Manchester United has bigger chance to win the most crucial match than Arsenal must focus for playing at Champion League against Inter Milan tonight. Lack recovering moment and Arteta actually will make many rotation main players when facing Manchester United in Premier League, Michael Carrick bring new glory, new hope and new motivate for Manchester United after winning the first match since appointing as new Manchester United manager.

Just looking at the market, it is clear that Manchester United is not the favorite and Arsenal is still the favorite team to win the match. I completely understand that maybe Arteta will rotate the players but Arsenal losing is something that is very impossible. A draw is possible but I really believe Manchester United will never be able to beat Arsenal using any means. Unless Arsenal only play with 9 players, maybe that could happen.

It's true Arsenal still remains the favourites to win this match and Manchester United is the underdog of the clash but just like in every match, uncertainty is bound to happen and I always recommend caution from the favourites because they can always be caught off guard. Just look at the last derby match between Manchester United Vs Manchester City, see how the underdog performed, they outplayed and won the favourites. The first match of this season, we saw how Manchester United performed well but we're not able to score a goal and Arsenal finally won by a lone goal. I just laughed when I read where you said Manchester United will never be able to beat Arsenal using any means. It's just laughable, maybe because you don't know how football works.

In theory, Manchester United maybe hard to winning this match. Perhaps that's why he said it so confident, if MU will not win the match. Arsenal are indeed the favorites, and even today they successfully defeated Inter Milan 3-1, which will certainly have a positive impact on the Arsenal players mentality before the match against Manchester United. However, even though Manchester United still inconsistent, a win against City can affect MU players mentality  So I agree with you, there's still a chance to win for MU. Even though Arsenal is the favorite, Manchester United can give a surprise.

Gunners are at their top most form after beating Inter Milan in good margin, now their confidence level is already high, and they have good chance of keeping things on their own even after beating Manchester City, they are also feeling good but their defensive issues and lack of good strategy must be still the concerns

Manchester United could be good, but they need time, inconsistency is always their problem in last few years, they need to be having some good depth which allow their players for giving their best, Michael Carrick's start is good and chances are high for them to have good end of their season still against big teams, their performance is not good which has been a problem for them in last few years.

they are need time, players and trust, MU already struggle to win epl title for a long time, but management unable to make it better so far. carrick still need time too, but I don't know if he able to adapt with players quickly, it ahould be a good news for MUfans. Carrick have a hard task to complete, if he jus become another mistake for MU, I can blame management for all disaster inside MU from the beginning they loss Fergie.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Man City lost another game this time in the CL. Did you see how comfortable Bodø/Glimt were against them? Fast counter-attacks and long balls were enough to finish them off...

How much longer will this last though? Up next they play vs Wolves home. I guess it's the end of this series... It had better be! Otherwise Arsenal will continue to increase the gap with them.

Bringing Carrick isn't the answer for them I think. Even if they kept Amorim they could have still beaten that Man City. I just don't find the players good enough generally. It isn't one of the most ideal lineups for Man Utd if they want the PL title in the future.

Till today no answer for United to bring in the successor of Sir Fergie. most of coach that has been hired by MU, they are not really success yet. even Mourinho also failed there. Carrick not solution, I agree but I don't know his cabality now, even failed in the past, maybe we just underestimate him. will see.

Only if we'd call out the glazers more than we do with these managers, because tell if these glazers are fully invested in the growth of the club after all these years, they'd do all that they can to make it thrive again but no, they're simply incompetent and all about the profits they get from Jersey sales. I would fall back to Cristiano Ronaldo's recommendation,  he said Manchester United should go get Luis Enrique and I have come to agree with him. Carrick cool now, but he not the man for the future and longterm.

The CL performance is still keeping Arne Slot's credits higher I guess. They've won 5 out of 7 games there until now and they are in 4th place. But I highly doubt them about reaching semi finals and beyond. 

On the other hand things aren't going well for them in the PL. 4 draws in a row. That's too much... They are competing for the 4th spot at this point. Because the gap with top 3 has reached even 7 points.

They'll face another club in trouble tomorrow which is Bournemouth. Let's see if they win.

I really love Liverpool management's patience with Arne Slot because now they are having good results even their Premier league, performance is not as expected still they are giving him time which will payback with better reward at the end most probably.

After their draw against Burnley at Anfield, I was expecting something will happen, but they are still having favour for him to bring better results their win against Marseille with big margin surely big breakthrough which can turn things into good for Liverpool, staying into top four in both big competitions surely good after having the worst start of their season, this second phase can bring good fortunes and results which are always welcomed.

Liverpool as a club has always been a big side in the Champions League football and so European  competition, in the past, now and also in the future, it will be stupid to have them underestimated. Until they've been knocked out, do not do that. In the Premier League,  they are not just consistent. A lot was expected from the defending Champions. They should grab three points when they play against Bournemouth today, same way they won against Marseille will be the same way. Least goals to be score will be 4!

Liverpool lose again! I really do 't understand why Liverpool management won't sacked Slots after get a lot of bad results this season. of course, if we are seeing the table, they are at the top 4, but their matches results.really bad. if their performance continues, Liverpool will go out from top 4 anytime soon. in other matches the title competitor Man City success ro get 3 points, Arsenal now under pressure, 4 points a head city, they need to win over MU to get back 7 points gap.

Liverpool lose again! I really do 't understand why Liverpool management won't sacked Slots after get a lot of bad results this season.

I don’t even know what to say about slot anymore. It’s surprising that a club that won the last premier league is the one performing poorly this season. I don’t know why Liverpool are still keeping slot, but maybe they still having hope in him, maybe they believe he will be able to fix things, he was able to win the premier league title for Liverpool last season, maybe they believe if they leave him, he will be able to stabilize things, but I think it’s better Liverpool makes the right decision at the right time.

I don’t know if slot will be able to improve Liverpool performance, it’s just better Liverpool allows him leave the club, they need a better coach.

I was speechless when I was watching the Liverpool game, Bournemouth winning 2 vs 0, just before 35 minutes into the game, shows that Liverpool aren’t ready to improve, Arne Slot seems to have been lost with all ideas, they’re performing poorly and there performance seems to be bad each and every game that passes in the Premier League, I don’t really Understand why Slot is still in this job, he should’ve been sacked last year, and now this performance against Bournemouth is so bad for the motivation of the club and players, Liverpool spends so much money in the transfer window and trusted Slot with that money in the transfer window and it was nothing, all a waste of money, the club looks like a mess.

The only solution to this Liverpool problem and bad performance is sacking Slot, he isn’t good enough to be Coaching Liverpool, right now Liverpool need a better manager who can manage very well and handle the pressure that comes with managing a big club.

Arne Slot is over for this season after losing from Bournemouth last night and make The Kop losses 7 of 23 matches in premier league, last season when becoming the premier league champion Liverpool loss 4 of 38 matches but this season already over for Liverpool to defend premier league trophy.
The management seems not giving huge pressure yet for Arne Slot position due several bad performance not only in premier league but also in Champion League, in premier league have remaining 14 points with Arsenal if can get three points today from Manchester United make its difficult mission for Liverpool catch up 17 points remaining.

Today there are more interesting matches to be played. One of them is obviously Arsenal v Manchester United.

Some say it'll be easy for Arsenal and some say the other way around. I'm not sure about the easy part but I don't expect Arsenal to lose any points. Manchester United wouldn't give up easily. Their performance in big matches is impressive!

I don't know maybe because of his doing good in the CL at the same time. Or they are just being the classic Liverpool. Maybe the board wants to give him more chances like they did with Klopp. But I don't think Slot is as good manager as Klopp.

Manchester United win over Arsenal with scores 2-3. Arsenal actually have a chance to get 1 points, but the last minute time, Cunha create the winning goal for MU at 87". With this results MU now have better positions. am I wrong about carrick guys? 
for Arsenal, this results really not good, because points gap between Arsenal and City now only 4 points

Back-to-back 2 wins helped Manchester United, season on track currently they are at 4th spot which must be an amazing stuff even we can't give credit to Michael Carrick but sack of Ruben Amorim surely has been working their performance because now players are doing impressively and things are going to be on track for them to have their best in this season.

But, one thing is sure if they will perform consistently, Michael Carrick could be good enough for having long term contract because he understands things here at Old Trafford which can keep things on level, and they will be giving their best throughout their campaign, always having a mentor who is the able to maintain the balance must lead to big impact toward success of any club.

Both teams had an impressive performance yesterday with Arsenal dominating the game possessively, and Manchester United being relaxed in the game absorbing the pressure and using the slightest chances gotten to make a difference in the game.

Manchester United scored two goal screamers in this match and that kept everyone in awe as to what potentials the team players possess.  I was really impressed with the performance they displayed and they are now sitted fourth at the table after defeating the top two premier leaders, isn't that impressive for Michael Carrick?

It would be pure politics if Michael Carrick does not get the permanent manager position if this winning continues because it is obvious that we can see changes in the team now, offensively and defensively.

It was really an interesting but lovely matchup. A person who didn't watch it and looked at the stats can say like "How were there 5 goals with not even a 2-goal expectation in total?".

But the stats are misleading for this one I think. Both teams were very effective and created so many chances. I can't say one deserved the win than the other here. Because both did.

Whenever Carrick manages Manchester United they really win or draw against big teams...
