Honestly I was thinking in the same lines especially that they don't have other tournament commitments thought they would throw everything at this game, but seeing we just five minutes into the game and United have already conceded doesn't give me the confidence to say they can turn this game around.. But i will keep an open mind as such games come with surprises.

I remember that game and if I recall Manchester city were actually out played and were lucky enough to force a draw otherwise Chelsea should have collected maximum points!!!

Chelsea are having a very poor season. Manchester United have also fallen behind top 4 and even the 5th place - to qualify for the Europa League at least.  

Chelsea have just got 1-0 ahead in the game by the way. This was a really tough game to predict and I also thought that Manchester United wouldn't lose. But it looks like tonight will be really difficult for them after this early goal.

I must admit a fact that Chelsea are really good in home games against big teams. I still remember that insane 4-4 draw against Manchester City here.    A really tough game is waiting for Manchester United as of now.

This is a match between two big teams that are no longer considered as the first four in the league because of their long poor performance, not taking sides due to the teams involved, it is very difficult for United to defeat Chelsea at Stamford bridge even though Chelsea is not good this season as it is vividly seen according to their position in the league but I think the performance of the two teams will determine who takes the point home and Chelsea having drawn their last match against Burnley and United playing draw too against Brentford it is very likely that the match will end in a draw or the home team win the game even though United is fighting to catch up with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.

First, it gladdens me to see Erik Ten Hag's selection dropping that fraud who have been protected too much by the media and his wacked team. The better talking should be on the pitch not on social media yapping and complaining when he should be showing working. He is 26 and earns almost the highest in the club and this is what he delivers? Glad to see Marcus Rashfraud dumped on the bench.

I'd also appreciate if he is part of those listed to be sold because, he adds nothing to the club but too many touches of the ball playing boring football and his lack of decsion making as he barely knows when to dribble and not to dribble.

In the case of the Champions League qualification, when you check the next fixtures of Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, you'd see that they Manchester United has a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League Competition if they manage to finish fifth position. It's nothing to worry about because I believe they would. Erik Ten Hag is the man for Manchester.

Nunez was able to break the deadlock through a blunder made by Grbic where he managed to block Grbic hard kick which sent the ball into Sheffield United goal. Well, in my opinion, this match will be easy for Liverpool to control because Liverpool has dominated possession of the ball since the first minute. Liverpool opportunity to return to the top of the standings is in this match and I don't think they will waste the opportunity in this match. After leading 1-0, Liverpool continued to pressure Sheffield United with their attacks.

With a lot of time remaining in the first half, Liverpool could have scored a second goal in the first half. Their strength is stronger in today match so it is very unlikely that Sheffied United will be able to beat Liverpool in today match. Liverpool will be the favorite team to win this match, especially since Jurgen Kloop played all of their core players in today's match.

Is already certain that Liverpool will win Sheffield United and they are currently leading with 1-0 in 17 minutes and I believe there would be more goals from Liverpool because Sheffield United is still a small club to Liverpool and also considering what is as take for Liverpool they will need to win the match with more goals so that they would have more advantage over others.

In regards to Chelsea performance they have not really shown any kind of sign that they are back in there normal form, so what do you think will be the results of there match against Manchester United? Because there last meeting was not favourable for Chelsea because they lose to Manchester United 2-1.

Every season, Manchester United will win the match against Chelsea, but let's see what Chelsea will do this time if they can break the record today and defeat Erik Ten Hag this season. Manchester United has already defeated Chelsea in the first leg, so this time is Chelsea's chance to win because they are playing at home and the fans will motivate them on the pitch. I know Manchester United can't defeat Chelsea at home, but the outcome can be a draw in the game or Chelsea will win because both of them are not in good shap they are struggling in the league table.

Manchester United are outperforming them this season,  Chelsea should try to win the match so that they can qualify for the Europa League next season if they can win there remaining matches because West Ham is ahead of them by 5 points, and if they win today, their points will most likely increase, and if they continue to win their matches, they will have the opportunity to qualify for the Europa League because they are not in any major competition this season.

Chelsea is actually no longer a club that should be under-estimated even though they are far behind when looking that the premier league table, but in the past, Chelsea have been a trouble for some really big clubs like Manchester city, Arsenal, Liverpool and so on and on.

So for me, I am definitely rooting for Manchester united to win the match against Chelsea tonight, but if they must achieve this, then they have to play with all seriousness and carefulness, leaving and giving Chelsea no space at all, else, they just end end up losing the game to Chelsea, or the game may likely end in a draw.

By the way, Liverpool and Sheffield United game is on at the moment, it's already like 15 minutes into the game, score is still 0 for both sides, what are your predictions guys?
Personally, I think this game should be an easy win for Liverpool, actually, I am expecting up to 5 goals from Liverpool, while none from Sheffield United, that is 5:0, what ya all think?

When I saw Manchester City's line-up before the game started, I thought that if Guardiola's decision to rotate almost all lines would backfire on them at the end of the game, but I was wrong, because Manchester City still managed to control the game better, and even in the first half many chances created by Manchester City almost became goals, but Olsen's performance that was able to prevent those chances from becoming forced goals Manchester City ended the first half with a score of 2-1.

Many said that Manchester City would struggle in that match and I saw that it only happened in the first half, but when entering the second half Manchester City was able to destroy Aston Villa throughout the second half, with the victory Manchester City can still keep their current championship chances and of course still put pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal who are their main competitors at this time in winning the Premier League,  While Aston Villa the defeat further threatens their position in standing, because Tottenham only needs 3 points to be able to shift Aston Villa position in the 4th place of the Premier League standings.

It is true, initially Aston Villa was expected to be a stumbling block for Manchester City who are struggling to defend their title this season. However, throughout the match, Aston Villa did not make much effort in terms of scoring goals because they were busy defending against Manchester City's good attacks.

Manchester City basically had an unbalanced defense due to injuries to Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake, but the other players who replaced them played well and they were able to respond by conceding only 1 goal through a counter-attack scheme. In the end it was a match that was easy for Manchester City to win, even if they didn't have De Bruyne and Haaland.

Another interesting time when i was seeing pep decided to put haaland on the bench instead of give him a chance to play. Foden is always on fire and he was carrying the club many times. I can't even count how many times foden carry the club with his amazing performance. Foden was often shooting from out of penalty box.
Manchester city's players are so capable in this. They have been doing it several times with various strategies. It's hard to predict on what strategy that is gonna be used by pep guardiola soon. The impact is quite small since foden was carrying the club

The goal from Aston Villa was almost making me feel that a villa would bring trouble for the city, but it's all wrong. It's caused by foden was doing hatrick in this game which is so amazing. he is such a astonishing winger. No doubt that Palmer has no place in the city. He will not able to compete with foden.

United should be able to get the win today, or at least they have to get the win looking at the standings if they want to have any chance at all, they need to win this match. Villa is already doing better than everyone expected, and there is a serious possibility that they could be at UCL next season, Spurs are pushing for it, and could get that spot because they are lacking one game so they could be ahead, but United is almost 10 points behind, it is already quite tough to reach there, which we could assume already they won't but at least they need to try.

Better yet, West Ham is right on their tail and that would mean no European competition at all, not even conference, if West Ham passes United, so they should try their best.

Yes, that's true, because it's very visible that Sheffield do not have the potential to withstand a team such as Liverpool right from 2006, not to mention today that Liverpool will be playing from home, because despite the fact that Sheffield might have drawn with Fulham and Bournemouth of recent 2 matches, Liverpool has always and will always have a better advantage over Sheffield, and today is not going to be any different. But however, let's just wait as we have bearly just 25 minutes for the match to kick start.

This is enough to prove the true quality of Manchester City and Manchester City even made several player rotations in this match, but this did not have a big impact on the team's performance.
It was previously predicted that Aston Villa would make it difficult for Man City because both teams are highly motivated, Aston Villa is struggling to finish in the top 4 and Manchester City is currently fighting for the Premier League title this season, but Man City is right. really very strong and proved their true quality by winning this match easily.

In today's Premier League match Man City vs Aston Villa two teams entered the field to play. In this match Man City team scored 4 goals and Aston Villa team scored 1 goal. Before half time Aston Villa team scored 1 goal and after half time Aston could not score any more goals.  Villa team. Man City team player Rodri scored 1st goal in 11 minutes and P. Foden played great in today's match.P.  Foden scored the 2nd goal at 45+1 minutes, the 3rd goal at 62 minutes and the 4th goal at 69 minutes to win the match.

The only hope for Man United to get a trophy is only through the FA Cup, but it won't be easy. Even though they have a big chance of qualifying for the Final, but their final opponent is Man City. Meanwhile in the Premier League, I don't think Man United will be able to take 5th place because the points are quite far apart and their performance is inconsistent.

Chelsea has a performance that is no better than Man United, but they will play at home. So I think this match will end in a draw.

Obviously, red devils. Chelsea is a club that is full of little brats. Many of its attackers were lack of chemistry with each other. It's very common for me to see how Chelsea's players are so selfish. They were not even willing to pass each other. This is why i don't like this billion pounds bottle jobs team.
Get ready to see that the attendance will be booing Chelsea again as it will lose against Manchester United. Chelsea is now an inconsistent club with so many garbage attackers combined with weak and slow defenders.

There's nothing better other than seeing united to humiliate chelsea once again like what it did at old trafford. I'm feeling so damn bad about the gameplay of Chelsea. It's very unstructured gameplay i have ever seen in my life.
Even none were able to create a proper long shoot. All i have seen from chelsea is players are shooting the bird.

Well the fierceness of the EPL keeps going high and high and holds no bound yet, rather every match day proves to be very competitive in all of it’s sought. Yesterday we saw 2 different matches yes they both have some top weight as you can see that the teams who played are all major contenders at one point or the other.

 ⁠We saw Man City and Arsenal having some crazy wins and getting maximum 3 points in their matches to still remain very relevant in their title chase. The points were really massive for these clubs as it helps to still keep them up in the challenge. For Foden this match also brought him to 3 PL hat tricks which is as many as Lampard, Rooney and Ronaldo had in their EPL careers.
 
 The Lad is just 23 and attaining this height and feat is just incredible and as such he must be commended. He helped his club to nail Aston Villa who lost out in this match and as such open the hopes for Man United to get into the top 4 spot. Arsenal on the other end were able to do their job perfectly by nailing it hard on Luton even though we expected more goals from Arsenal but a 3 point is a 3 point and that was a massive win.

 ⁠Liverpool are the favorites as they prepare to entertain Sheffield later this evening as getting 3 points in that fixture will be able to bring them back to the top and make them 2 points clear. For Man United and Chelsea, yes I’ll go with double chancing on Chelsea because of how excellent their performance against the big 6 have been this season. This evening’s action is one that doesn’t needs to be missed at all and I’m sure looking forward to it.

Man United is stuck in 6th position and is having difficulty getting a single League ticket. It's a shame that this season the Red Devils have experienced a drastic decline. Last season they managed to finish in 3rd place but now it is clearly not a place they deserve to occupy. Today Man United will visit Chelsea headquarters to compete for 3 points. Chelsea being a mid-table team doesn't mean it's easy to beat. Playing at home is an advantage for the Blues if they can control the game. I hope there is nothing to be afraid of against Man United, because they have now lost their direction and goal in the EPL.

In fact, even if Man United managed to get 3 points, it would still be difficult to catch Tottenham with a difference of 4 points.

where is your bet going?

For Manchester United I can agree with you. I also don't expect them to make a big comeback from the point they are at for a Champions League spot. But for Tottenham I don't think so. The gap between Aston Villa and Tottenham is only two points and Tottenham have a missing game which can be used as an advantage like I said. 

Do you really believe Tottenham have literally zero chance to close a gap like 2 points in 8 games they are going to play? That's a really bold comment honestly.    Tottenham and Aston Villa both have had inconsistencies so anything can happen.
