Man Utd has received their first defeat of the season on a visit to the American Express Stadium today, Brighton Football club.
I never expected Manchester United to start losing in this early stage of their games, especially losing against a team like Brighton, it would have been better off if they had tried to get a draw, they had a bit of lapses in this game which led to their lost and they should try to work it out in their next line of games, basically in their defense line and their frontline players, while their midfield for now is a bit ok.
Whereas for the remaining games on going, Manchester City has continued to showcasing why they're the defending champions, and are currently leading with a 3-1 at their home soil as it was half time.

Crystal Palace is doing well in the field in the first half of the game. They would have scored that their first shot but the goalkeeper of West Ham United saves the ball. And I am predicting Crystal Palace to win the Match. But the second half of the game will determine who will win base on their performance.
Though Crystal Palace played more than their opponent in the first half but those who didn't do well in the first half can do well in the second half. So let see how it will go in the second half.
Fulham vs Leicester City. The both teams are trying but the Fulham is playing more than L City. Though both have scored 1-1.
Manchester City is really playing in this season and they are well prepared to take the cup in this season.

Manchester United tried all they could do but all to no avail, their previous game with Ipswich which they won by 1 goes to 0 came with so much struggling hence I knew that it not going to be that easy with Brighton today.
I knew Manchester United wouldn’t be able to win Brighton in the match, even before the match started, I predicted a win for Brighton or draw. I wasn’t really satisfied with the way Manchester United played in their first match, and I knew it’s going to be difficult for them to win Brighton. You made a mistake, Manchester United's first match of the season was against Fulham and not Ipswich, it was Liverpool that played against Ipswich, and Ipswich are currently playing against Manchester City.
But however, it is just the beginning of the season and I believe definitely there is going to an improvement in subsequent matches. I know that the fans will be in pains after seeing they finally loss the game after equalizing 1:1.
Let’s hope Manchester United's performance improves with time, but this is just the beginning of the season, and I am not expecting anything special from Manchester United this season. 
Brighton really played amazingly in the second half, even though Diallo managed to make the score 1-1 again, it did not dampen the spirits of the Brighton players. Garnacho managed to score a goal in the 70th minute, but the referee disallowed it because his shot hit Joshua Zirkzee foot who was in an offside position. Brighton's winning goal was scored by Joao Pedro in the 90+5 minute, Manchester United lost dramatically 2-1 in this match.
Manchester United recent results are a warning sign for Ten Hag, the EPL has just entered its second week but Manchester United has already suffered its first defeat this season. If it continues like this, there is very little chance for Manchester United to finish in a better position at the end of the season.
Manchester United defeat today is about the quality and mentality of players who cannot be fooled, the fact that the spirit of playing makes Brighton able to complete this fight with a second victory. There are so many notes for the Red Devils where they are again and again can not overcome the opponent's attack, Erik Ten Hag will definitely get a serious warning. Because when kick off starts to see Bruno Fernandes in the striker's position is quite funny Manchester United recent results are a warning sign for Ten Hag, the EPL has just entered its second week but Manchester United has already suffered its first defeat this season. If it continues like this, there is very little chance for Manchester United to finish in a better position at the end of the season.
In my opinion to finish in the top 5 is quite difficult. In the first half Manchester United was already leading 1-0 over Brighton, and one goal for Brighton was scored by Welbeck in the 32nd minute. And that goal was the 5th goal against his former club. And I saw in that match Manchester dominated the game and created 5 shots towards the goal and 1 on target, and I am sure in the second half Manchester United can penetrate Brighton's defense and score a goal. And in the next match Manchester United will face Liverpool, and it could be that the match against Brighton is their strategy so that Liverpool cannot read it, and in the end they can turn things around with Brighton.

D. Welbeck was the man of the man and was seconded by K. Mitoma they scored all the 3 goals. Brighton squad was a gallant o e to recommend.
Finally the last whistle has been blown and the game ended by 2 goes to 1, Brighton defeat Manchester United,

Of course this match was very painful for Man United, they could not maintain the defense line well until they finally conceded in the final minutes. From this match we can clearly see that Man United needs a truly pure left back, because the two goals he scored were passes from the right side to the left side, and were always empty.Manchester United tried all they could do but all to no avail, their previous game with Ipswich which they won by 1 goes to 0 came with so much struggling hence I knew that it not going to be that easy with Brighton today.

In addition, I am also very confused by the substitutions made by Erik Ten Hag in this match. Even though Man United needs creativity to be able to score goals, but what Erik Ten Hag did in my opinion was very wrong because he replaced Bruno and brought in McTominay.
It seems like this will be Erik ten Hag's last season at Man United if Man United's game does not change and continues to make the wrong decisions when the team needs goals. On the other hand, Man United's game system is very slow and wastes a lot of time, especially Onana who, if collected from 97 minutes of play, there were 15 minutes of the ball held by Onana. There is really no chemistry in Man United's game, their pressing is very slow.

Brighton had a very decent first half. Their game plan has been effectively deployed. They prefer to play it short, through the midfield and distribute to the flanks through the fullbacks.
One thing I have observed about this Brighton team is that Brighton will change Manager but their football doesn’t ever change. That’s exactly how the Ex Manager De zerbi rolled too with them, Just dey slow things but hit out line breaking passes.
They have been keeping to the plan and kept Manchester United mostly at their own half. Manchester United have shown good attacking patterns so far in the first half, but it seems they are relying on counter attacking play to break out from the back once they get hold of the ball.
Manchester United will have to enter the second half with another tactics to be able to create chances to give them hope of equalizing and maybe win the game. They have to improve on their final touches and passes around the goal area.
Manchester United need to make some quick changes if they really want to get back into this game, Marcus Rashford seem to be struggling too much with the ball and the man utd players are not really getting the ball around those dangerous areas in front of the goal of their opponents and that's why they had slim chances in first half, I think they need to bring in Alejandro Garnacho to help create some chances through the wings and get some crosses so they can atleast get some goal scoring chances in the second half.One thing I have observed about this Brighton team is that Brighton will change Manager but their football doesn’t ever change.

-snip-
Last season Aston Villa played very impressively. But I don't think they can have the same level this season. I'm not underestimating Aston Villa but I think Arsenal are still very strong at the start of the season. I'm picking Arsenal to win that match.-snip-
Manchester United played well in the first match after winning 1-0 against Fulham. But it can't be called a good game for United. They scored a goal at the end of the match and I think it was like a lucky goal. Now the Brighton vs Manchester United match has started and the score is still 0-0 in the 18th minute. So far Brighton has been able to play evenly with United. Both teams still have the same chances. No team dominates in this match. Aston Villa will be welcome Arsenal to Villa Park, tomorrow. This is going to be their first home game of the season.
We all know it’s going to be a very tight one for the Gunners. Emery men defeated both Manchester City and Arsenal here last season in two consecutive games. They approached that game like they were on a mission to win something special.
I can't wait to watch the match whether this season Arsenal can avenge their defeat last season which was defeated by Aston Villa in their 2 meetings, Aston Villa recruited a lot of players this summer so I think the performance is a little different whether better or worse but the fans' hopes must want to see Aston Villa win at home to beat The Gunners, I actually support Arsenal to win this match but it seems quite difficult I think a draw is a fair result for them to share 1 point.We all know it’s going to be a very tight one for the Gunners. Emery men defeated both Manchester City and Arsenal here last season in two consecutive games. They approached that game like they were on a mission to win something special.
The probably of Aston Villa to win is very high because unai emery will want to maintain his perfect record against Arsenal. Aston Villa started this season in an a good mood by winning westham at away and now they are going to play at home which will be an added advantage, because they are playing in from of their home fans, of which they won Arsenal both home and away last season, the highest Arsenal can get from this match is draw.
Arsenal performance against wolves wasn't that clear enough to boldly stand the pressure of Aston Villa at home. But however, the end shall justify.

We all know it’s going to be a very tight one for the Gunners. Emery men defeated both Manchester City and Arsenal here last season in two consecutive games. They approached that game like they were on a mission to win something special.
And now they have added some new faces to the team in the summer and they look like they’ll bring more reinforcements before the window closes.
I don’t think the approach would change. They’ll still want to get something out of this match with Arsenal as Emery would want to retain his spot for champions league football.
Arsenal would need to dominate this game from the start to finish to get something from this game. If they give Aston Villa that kind of spell wolves had in the 2nd half of the game last week, they will definitely have themselves to blame.

I remember last season when Aston Villa beat Arsenal and Manchester City, although the defeat didn't affect Manchester City I think it Arsenal from winning the Premier League title, Arsenal are going to play them today and we all know how the game is going to be, the game is going to be tough because Aston villa is not that kind of team that can be defeated easily they have a good player's and also have a good goalkeeper, Arsenal need to play well in this game because if they lose this match is going to make them lose hope of winning the trophy this season.
Arsenal also needs to know how to play a winning game because Aston Villa players are going to play a defensive game to make sure any shot that is being played is going to stop, Let's see how the game is going to be but my advice for anyone who wants to bet on the game is to bet on both teams to score a goal or to bet over 1 for both teams to score more than 1 goal in the game because betting on any team here to win is a very big risk.
Tomorrow early kick off Brighton vs Manchester united at Amex stadium. I think the game we going to be a quite though for both teams because looking at their performance in the premier league they just play average football and their strength is almost the same.
However even in their last sixth meetings Brighton won four times while Manchester united won two times, though Brighton is playing on their home ground. However, I think is going to be a draw game for both teams.

Manchester United is going to play against Brighton in the next match will start within few minutes. I think Manchester United should be able to win this match. Of course, Brighton is on the first place of the table but both Manchester United and Brighton have played only one match so far. So at this stage of the season being at the first position of the table does not mean anything. I am not belittling Brighton. Because if we actually think about it, Brighton have finished in the 11th position in last season and Manchester United on the eighth position. So not much of a difference between them if we think like that.
If you look H2H stats there are not much difference too, sportsbook are providing odds 2.34 for Brighton and for MU it's 2.80.
Anyway, I just hope that Manchester United will be able to perform well and do far better compared to what they did in the last season. I am expecting a win from Manchester United in this match.
Best of Luck guys...

I'm sorry, but it's simply you're missing the key point at the end of video. Pep's clearly said that his motivation to win PL trophy will be there in the last month of competition. I'd prefer to see his statement as sarcastic, not as a lack of interest in winning the Premier League.
Look at how City was always backstabbed arsenal in the last month of competition, then they won the trophy.

I must have missed that point, thanks. Yeah I also see it sarcastic actually because it doesn't make sense. Guardiola and not being competitive? There is no way.
I agree, Arsenal messed up twice which led to Manchester City winning the title in both cases.Deep down, I want them to be knocked out so they can fight for the Premier League Top Four. But, Enzo Maresca would want to challenge for that cup too. Chelsea had a great past with Italian managers, Enzo Maresca wouldn't be the first, not even the last.
I get that feeling. While they are having hard days, it is more difficult to expect them to concentrate on both tournaments for success.
The board will prioritize success in the Premier League for sure. I hope this manager change won't make a bad impact on the team while they were improving their form. They must do something this season considering their poor look for years...

Pep Guardiola says that the motivation for winning another Premier League title is not there yet...
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1ev5hfb/pep_guardiola_the_motivation_to_win_another/
Maybe he has got bored after winning the league title every season.
Jokes aside, he says this but I don't doubt Manchester City even a bit. They would be in the title race for sure as usual. There is a system running like clockwork and it is really not easy to break it. I see only Arsenal which have a chance to perform this task. So far they have tried twice and failed. But there was progress last season. I'm curious about this season a lot.
