This week there are many interesting match:

Newcastle vs Liverpool
Arsenal vs Manchester United
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forrest

I think Liverpool and Arsenal will win the match without any doubt, we know how strong is Liverpool and Manchester United was lucky to win big margin against Everton.

For Manchester City vs Nottingham Forrest, it's a big question, I speculate Nottingham Forrest will win. Tongue

Liverpool will surely win this game because you can imagine crystal palace that has been struggling playing a draw against Newcastle and I think in that match Newcastle are a lucky side if not they did not deserve any points in that game


For man Utd and Arsenal it's going to be a very tough match because of the rivalry between them and it will be like a derby match man Utd might win the match the way they played against Everton the defending the attacking very fast also arsenal might win after beating sporting who where on the champions league in the second position scoring 5 goals past the goalkeeper and repeating the same thing against Westham scoring 5 goals past the goalkeeper so I think this match is unpredictable

Manchester United are now in a transformed mode with a new coach and their playing pattern have changed from how we used to them (absolutely poor) to let's say a more better one compared to what ETH was making them play. The new Manchester United manager has played 2 league games since joining from Sporting, drew 1 and got a comfortable win against Everton. Going against a hungry Arsenal side that has been trying to get back to the top is going to be Amorim first biggest challenge as a manager of Man UTD.
I'm expecting a more interesting game that won't end in a draw, the Gunners need to win that game to move a little bit closer to the league leaders and to reduce the point gap while waiting for Liverpool to drop point, that's if Newcastle can beat the Reds but that's all that needs to happen because Liverpool's 9pt is too big to say Arsenal they can catch up if the Reds doesn't drop any point, so I'd prefer the Gunners to win against Man UTD then wait for what will happen against Newcastle vs Liverpool.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal won their last match and I think that will give Manchester United confidence to play against Arsenal, Arsenal is in good shape now and we can see that from their last two games by defeating Sporting with five goals and also defeating Westham with 5 goals from the first half of the match, Manchester United have not been playing well from the beginning of the season but after sacking Erik ten Hag they are playing well.

Ruben Amorim is trying a lot to make sure the team's performance looks good and can play well against the big teams, if Arsenal defeats Manchester United it will not be a surprise because Arsenal's performance is very good and if not because of injury and some red cards that affect Arsenal from the beginning of the season Arsenal will be competing with Liverpool and the points between them will not be more than 3 to 4 points.

I don’t think Pep Guardiola or Manchester City supporters were prepared for this drastic drop in performance. I believe Manchester City will bounce back from this. I laugh at anyone who says Pep should be sacked because City is doing as well as they normally would. People forget the times before Pep arrived at Manchester City. How many trophies have Manchester City won before Pep came into the picture? City should be grateful that they are champions because of Pep and they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that they could have achieved the same results with another manager.
Nobody expected a drastic quick drop from Manchester City like they did in latest matches. Before this season, people could predict a difficult season for Manchester City because they did not have a good replacement for De Bruyne, but nobody expected a severe injury of Rodri who is very important in their squad operation.

There are more issues in their squad by ageing effects and they made mistake by selling Julian Alvarez too. Two seasons ago, they sold Cole Palmer who become one of brighest young star in Premier League now. Many problems come from ageing, lack of enough preparation in player resource, and bad transfer strategy recent seasons, put Manchester City in a big crisis now.

Pep will choose his right time to leave Manchester City, maybe at the season ending. I don't believe that he will stay with them, because he's smart enough to know rebuilding a successful squad like past 7 seasons is not easy.
I don't think you know Pep Guardiola very well, because if you do, you will understand that Pep Guardiola doesn't run from challenges. He said it himself that he likes challenges, because challenges makes him work better and help him improve. For your information Pep Guardiola just signed a new contract that will keep him at Manchester city till 2027. So he is not leaving anytime soon. You are right about the aging issue in the Manchester city squad, and that is what has contributed greatly to their recent slump in form. Manchester city problem is not coming from the striking position, so the sale of Julian Alvarez is not in any way contributing to their problems.

Manchester city challenge is mostly coming from midfield. When your midfield is not functioning properly it will affect other departments of the squad. Manchester city is nothing without Rodri and Kelvin. They haven't been without these two players this long in the past, Pep never imagined that the duo of Kelvin and Rodri will be out this long, if not they would have been more prepared during the summer. Just watch out what will happen when the January transfer window opens. It is then you will understand that there is no body that is capable of rebuilding Manchester city than Pep Guardiola.

Currently they are indeed in a slump, with their matches tending to always end disappointingly. With Pep himself. he still has the confidence to be able to make his team rise from its slump, whether it is difficult or not for them to rise again but there is still a possibility that they will rise again even though it is difficult for them.

In addition, the Manchester City coach said he had to find a solution to be able to revive his team to try to win the next match. I am sure all coaches will do their best for their team. apart from that, is it possible that he has run out of strategies for his team? this is confusing.

Compared to the previous match, when facing Man City, their defense was quite good and tight, but still unable to block the flow of the ball from Liverpool to tear Manchester City's goal. And it is very unfortunate that Manchester City's attack line was unable to maximize every opportunity they got, even when they were in front of the goal.

The defeat from Liverpool was something that had been predicted before, considering Man City's performance on the field lately has been quite bad. and this is the 4th defeat in a row, while Liverpool continues to add to their winning streak to be longer. Currently, Man City's ranking in the standings continues to decline, now they are in fifth position and for the next match they will face Nottingham Forest, which is a team that cannot be underestimated this season, Nottingham could be a tough test for Man City to be able to stop the series of defeats experienced.
Manchester City have lost 4 match in row in the Premier League, even their game is very bad and there is no improvement at all, next Manchester City will face Nottingham Forest, team that has improved for this season, I want to see how Manchester City finishes it and if they fail to save 3 points in full then there is no hope even though this still leaves many match ahead.
Many people are questioning all the bad results that have happened to Manchester City this season in various competitions that have been followed, I very surprised why all this happened and really in all match.

Manchester City should focus on other titles indeed because English Premier League title will depend most from other teams results, mainly Liverpool of course, rather than Manchester City players performance.
I am pretty sure Guardiola is the most pissed one by the results of his team. He didn't see that coming and the good performance of Liverpool and the results they taken after Klopp departure weren't expected by most people.
Liverpool is getting 9 points gap which is a large score after 13 rounds in the league.
Manchester City have 11 points left behind Liverpool lead the top standings position and still have opportunity keep in the Premier League tittle race because in this season have many matches left. Bad trend after 7 consecutives matches all competition can't winning yet and become first bad record for Pep Guardiola with Manchester City, but have opportunity for upcoming match in this middle week return to winning trend by facing Nottingham Forest.
Three important points for Manchester City get confidence performance and return back to the 2nd place behind 2 points remaining from Arsenal but take several matches later for pressure Liverpool have comfortable on the top place position. I believe Manchester City have winning mentality as every season always get failure at the early season but success become the winner at the end of season.

Manchester City decline in performance has disappointed many who are connected to the club, but most importantly Guardiola must be able to improve the team's performance in order to achieve victory and restore the players' confidence. Now all parties must support them to get out of the slump, Guardiola also needs to work together with the players so that they return to their best performance. Pep Guardiola has done something that no manager has done before in the EPL, I am sure, this situation will not last long. He will soon find his best form to revive the competition in the title race.
Yes, there is still a chance for Pep Guardiola to make changes and restore Manchester City's performance which is currently not good. But I think it will take a long time because the top teams have made many changes and shown their best performance with their new coach, even though Manchester City has returned to its performance, it will still be a very tight competition, especially with Liverpool who are currently in their best performance which always produces good results in every match which I think is difficult to catch up with even though Pep Guardiola can change it because Liverpool are sure to always win matches in every match which makes them soar at the top of the standings.

Nothing will be smooth and eternal in any journey including in the world of football, and there will be a time when a team will become weak and be replaced by another team because they make changes and as the saying goes the wheel turns.

Amorim has found a good composition for MU; he's put Rashford in the right position now, Rashford went crazy and created a lot of chances before creating the 1st goals. While Bruno created the movement to outwit the opponent and provide opportunities for the attacker to stumble on the front. This is what the fans want; MU has now developed an offensive strategy with accurate passing.

There are so many big changes were implemented to be effective. Amorim was brave to rotate the players, and success winning the match. I was previously skeptical when I saw Zirkzee, Mainoo, and Mazraoui as starters because those names do not look familiar to me. But apparently, it runs very effectively create score on 1st half.

Ever since Amorim took charge of Manchester United, everything has been a miracle at Manchester United. Where this Manchester United could not win a match after playing five matches earlier, Manchester United have not lost any match in the last seven matches but their winning statistics in all the matches is very high. 
Amorim didn't bring in players from other clubs but those who were already at the club but he is bringing this success because he is playing the right players in the right position and playing the right strategy. Manchester United's points table position has also seen some changes due to their good performances in the last few matches of the Premier League and this team is now at the ninth position of the points table with 19 points. 

Most of the season's matches are still left, so if this manager can play the players until the end of the season with the right strategy, I believe this team will be in a very good position in the points table.
when Man City is slumping, now we see MU starting a better step with Amorim. this gives good results for the response of fans and many parties hope that Amorim will give a change in performance to their players. so far Amorim has succeeded, but he must maintain this until the end of the season. Amorim's target should be the top 4 standings this season, with the players in the team.
it will be quite difficult if you see the performance of the teams above. but if Amorim can make a good result, of course everything is possible. MU fans seem to be a little cured of their anger at Ten Hag.
Manchester United's performance has changed a lot and we have noticed this change in the team since the new manager took charge of Manchester United, so the Manchester United manager will definitely want to maintain this improvement in the team until the end of the season. But the reality is that Manchester United need some quality defenders and quality finishers which Manchester United lacks at the moment. Since Manchester United will not be able to buy any players before the transfer window opens, they will have to plan with the current players in the team. But the most important thing is that Manchester United have changed their strategy and the strategy they are playing now is working for them. So if they are a little more serious about the upcoming matches then it is possible to do well in the upcoming matches with this current team

We were not prepared to see Manchester City fall like this. Manchester City is the best club in the Premier League. In the last few years, we have only seen Manchester City dominate in the Premier League. Manchester City started this season very well. But City's performance in the last few matches has been very disappointing.

Manchester City is now in fifth place in the points table after losing four consecutive matches. I don't know when Manchester City last faced such a disaster. It will not be possible for Manchester City to compete for the Premier League title this season. Manchester City should now try their best to stay in the top four of the points table.

Pep Guardiola legacy alone in Manchester City is bigger than whole Liverpool. Despite the poor form he found himself this season, he still remained one of the best managers at Etihad stadium. Winning 6 EPL titles for Manchester City, and Liverpool just having a single EPL title under the management of the former coach, Jurgen Klopp. So I ask, why Liverpool fans booed Pep Guardiola during the match probably when leading 2 nil at Anfield? It's pointless chanting his sack because the Citizens will be forever grateful for the outstanding performance and accomplishments made by Pep Guardiola for the team. He singlehandedly made the club become very competitive till this present day, he deserved his accolades.
The emotional atmosphere of football at matches sees whistles and jeers, but it would be nice if we could take a moment to appreciate how much a coach can contribute to a team's development, whatever the rivalry. Manchester City has been transformed by the amazing achievements Pep Guardiola has achieved and by his style of play. The spice of football’s beauty is rivalries with clubs but should not lose appreciation for the dedication and hard work behind someone being on the other side of the ball. Instead of employing energy to cowardice, we need to acknowledge the football’s beauty that great teams present to us, celebrate this beauty and be constructive while we remain of the sportsmanship spirit.

But Guardiola realized that this season is over, at least when it is about defending the title. He made a gesture showing the Liverpool 6 fingers because he wanted to return the provocations, saying that Manchester City won 6 titles in the last 7 years. He usually doesn't do that when he knows he is still in the race and it is all about being a gentleman. But in this case he couldn't hold back because he knew that a Liverpool win is putting the title race to rest for Manchester City. They need to recalibrate for this season.

Even now I am starting to believe that Pep Guardiola has lost his chance to defend the Premier League title for the 5th time in a row. Although in fact everything can still change, things start to get very difficult when the points gap becomes too big. Liverpool leads the standings with a gap of 11 points from Manchester City and Liverpool with their consistency will clearly maintain their position until the end of the season.

Pep Guardiola is starting to realize this even though he will still improve his team's performance. The season is still long and everything can still change, it's just that Manchester City must always hope that Liverpool can drop a few points in the next match while they themselves have to win.

Yes but you can tell from the way that Liverpool is playing, it is not that they won many of those games with luck or coincidence. They have basically dominated all of those games and Manchester City has never been more toothless than this. Liverpool could have won 5-0 against Manchester City. If some of you saw the game, just take the chances that Salah left out being alone in front of the goalkeeper and then hitting the ball in the wrong spot sending it over the crossbar. Usually never happens to him, but Manchester City got lucky that he didn't have his best day. Yet he gave one assist and scored one goal.

But City's performance in the last few matches has been very disappointing.

The fact that Manchester city is in this situation is given me joy one time champions are now the one that are struggling to even make top three, most people have not see Manchester city in this condition before, but to me it is not surprising at all. And most of the games thay Manchester City have been playing is not even encouraging and they can no longer deliver any more but all this is because people believed so much in them and no one expected to fail this way.

Manchester city that have been winning back to back are now at the mercy of other clubs finding there self in the first position, how do they even find there self in this position, they don't stand a chance to win anything this season, and people literally worship city and they think nobody can win them and see the kind of clubs that are even winning them.

Since Amorim joined Manchester United, they have been trying to improve the team and forget all the bad days they had with Ten Hag so far. Amorim was working at Sporting and he had a good performance there and that's why he knows the players in this team better than anyone.
Ruben Amorim is a good coach based on his performance in his former club, he is a manager that loves winning and he is always after having quality players, and since he joined Manchester United, he is trying his best to make sure the team is not yet balanced, but from all indications, he can do better than Ten Hag.

Quote
Now, it seems Amorim wants to hire Sporting player Viktor Gyökeres. He scored 43 goals in 50 games for Sporting, which made many other teams send him an offer.
This means Manchester United is not alone and other than this team, some other teams want to hire Viktor Gyökeres and this can make it harder for Amorim to have Viktor Gyökeres.



Amorim will try his best to bring Gyökeres to Manchester United, but I don't think Amorim will find it easy to bring him because there are other teams that wants to sign him, therefore, the management will demand huge amount for money because he is currently the best striker in the world.

If Pep Guardiola fails to end the current negative trend, it is clear that they will fail to defend the Premier League trophy, and will even have difficulty competing in the Champions League in the future. Indeed, many parties are bored with Manchester City dominance in 4 consecutive seasons, and it seems that this season Liverpool will succeed in ending the dominance of the defending champions. Since Pep Guardiola took charge of the club, they have never lost many matches in a row, this is the first time this has happened. Nottingham Forest will be Manchester City opponent in the next match, both are only one point apart in the standings, on paper Pep Guardiola has a great opportunity to create a turning point in performance.

I'm not happy with what I have been seeing going with Manchester City, the more I look at it this doesn't looks ordinary in the eye but I think Guardiola should be blame for this. The players are not doing their best, sometimes you don't push too hard, this is what you get when you are too desperate, there are ways you will be soft and motivational to your players and they are going to ball like it's their last games but the harshness in the locker room is something else.

Another fault I see in Guardiola is making players takes the blame, he is one of the best but he need to do better. This was what transpired between Erik Ten and Manchester United players and they refused to comes back to game ever since until he left. I hope things turn out for good. If we magically makes the top of the table even though we have less chance I will be happy if we do that and if we don't, it's not the end of the world. VI Premier League it's in the gallery.
