This match could be the last for Pep and Jurgen to face each other in the EPL and it holds plenty of surprises as we’ve got 3 consistent teams all battling out to be crowned Champions of the league in May. Liverpool are currently on top with 63 points and City with 62. Followed by a firing Arsenal who sits close with 61 points, they’ve scored 31 goals in their last 7 matches which makes and help them build a very massive Goal Difference. Liverpool welcome City to the Anfield this weekend and that match will have so many turning point on how the league is shaped.

 Anfield is a fortress for Liverpool and they’re very excellent when playing there but this match will be having it’s own feeling as any result here would have great impact on the league title chase. City are known to come from behind and haunt you as they’ve had all 3 points recently from that kind of play. Liverpool will need to go into this match with very high confidence and make sure they take all their chances that’s been clinical as City could hurt them. After this match, I think Liverpool still have somw pretty daunting fixtures and for that they must be at ease with victory in this match.

 Both teams have same strength and the tactics of the two coaches are top notch and for that I must say this match is going to be real tensed and we can’t wait for the fun of the match. I wish both teams luck though I will love to see Liverpool get the victory off this match at least so Manchester City won’t win the league again, cause if they do Pep Guardiola  would be too full of himself and start feeling like the God of all managers, lol, currently Arsenal are at the top of the table and if they both draw that would be a big advantage for Arsenal.

It might look a little boring, but the most important thing is that Manchester United can get full points. Both teams attacked each other with little possession of the ball from both teams, only Manchester United was luckier than Everton because they got two penalty kicks, Fernandes and Rashford managed to execute them.
And Garnacho became the first Manchester United player to receive two penalties this season, and also the first time Manchester United had two different penalty takers in one half, and whatever the reason I am happy Manchester United won this game.

That's a very nice result from manchester united. It was so easy to predict the result of this game. Everton was not playing so badly, but it has inconsistent defenders. They were always out of their positions when everton went to attack manchester united fully. I have been watching the game and i have found how manchester united was able to get free space.
Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes could always escape the Everton defender's guard. A perfect result was achieved by Manchester United. Winning two goals combined with a clean sheet is good enough, considering it's facing a mediocre club.

Rashford and b fernandes performed pretty well but garnacho should become MOTM in this match. He was so smart, and he could always be left alone and one on one against Everton's goalkeeper. It surprised me that if garnacho is starting to feel better by playing as right winger.
Ten Hag successfully got three points, and this result made him far away from being sacked by Manchester United. It's a good result and i think that people got decent profit from winning this match.

It's such a very good achievement by manchester united. Bettors are also feeling happy with the result. Consider Mu's odds were pretty big in this match.

Man United victory is boring, just luck outside of our minds because the winning score is not purely the result of a player's skill, so I say that the victory was just a surprise.
Everton may look very bad because from the last 5 matches they were unable to get a win, only a draw was the best, but believe me Everton will be able to avoid the relegation zone because this team is one of the popular teams in the EPL so they will continue to try to improve their performance and appearance against Man United yesterday was good enough to be able to provide resistance even though I couldn't score.

but even though it's boring and only lucky to get 2 penalty kicks, at least 3 points are very valuable for Man United to continue approaching Spurs and try to shift Spurs position and get a ticket to the european league next season, but it won't be easy to shift Spurs current position which is still a bit consistent even though sometimes it is unstable, at least it can always provide a point difference that can provide a little comfort.
and repeating the discussion that Everton since getting points deductions is like losing enthusiasm and this should not be done, the coach should be able to raise the enthusiasm of the players to continue fighting to survive in the EPL because it would be very embarrassing for a popular team to enter the relegation zone and leave the EPL.
Everton still has the opportunity to continue adding points, at least being able to safely avoid the relegation zone is a good result.

Im sure you didnt watch the match, both of the goals were coming from a penalty and it doesnt mean Everton goalkeeper performance is poor.
The final result should be 3 - 0 if Pickford didnt make a "wonder" save from Fernandez free kick.

The match between Manchester United vs Everton has now ended with a score of 2-0 for Manchester United's victory, the match went quite tough for both and often required the referee to blow the whistle, since the match started both teams kept trying to attack and in my opinion the match was really very even though in fact Manchester dominated 51% of possession, even though Manchester United won today but their game is still very standard And much like what we expect from a team like Manchester United at the moment.

Two penalty goals in the first half made Manchester United able to win the game and made Manchester United current position in the standings unchanged in the 6th place of the English League, while for Everton, this defeat actually made their position even more dangerous in the relegation zone because they were only 5 points adrift with Luton who was in the relegation zone and even with the defeat to Manchester United Everton has now recorded as many as 11 consecutive matches in the league without a single victory.

Poor performance are probably not the style of Manchester United because they've made signing of potential players to enchanced the performance of the team. Manchester United doesn't struggle against some competitive opposition this season, they've climb to be in their peak form and winning is constant for them as long they're in good shape. Manchester United thrashed Everton home and away this season, a good record coming in from the Red Devils against the Toffees this season. Erik Ten Hag play safe football and delivering three winning points for his side this season. There's certainly impressive stats for them.

In Premier League Man United vs Everton team match, Man United team is now leading by 2 goals. Everton team has not scored any goals so far. Everton team may not be able to score any goals in this match near the end. Man United team player B. Fernandes  Scored the first goal in 12 minutes and M. Rashford scored the 2nd goal in 36 minutes. Everton team's goal keeper J. Pickford started a poor performance.

That part of his job if he doesn't want to get tired then just sit on the bench, other players want to play on the pitch and not just wait on the bench or be a substitute, not only Phil Foden worked hard in that match, even Erling Haaland too played hard in that match but he also still has enough energy and still has the enthusiasm to be Pep mainstay player in this difficulty match. Phil Foden should also have a hardworking spirit like Erling Halaand.

The presence of Moh Salah is certainly a joy for Liverpool fans and certainly makes Liverpool play impressively in this match even though the opponent is quite tough, but Salah returned certainly makes this match lighter I mean at least Liverpool is helped a little by the presence of Salah, but yes, it seems difficult to predicts. The results of this match is considering that both teams have the same strong performance.

You meant manchester united, right? Rashford successfully adding another score for united after he was getting a penalty. What an ez win for us. Everton keeps play so badly in this game. No chance for everton to equalize the score. manchester united probably adds more score in the second half.
The first half has not yet ended but united is almost taking down everton. Everton goes even deeper and there's no way for everton to score in this game. Manchester united should get second penalty but referee rejected to take a look at VAR.

Garnacho has become brain of attacking line from manchester united. They did it very well. Glad to see that united is winning this game. I don't even need to watch this even further since the result from this game can be known easily.
The prediction about united won the game totally true. This match offers decent odds for us. What a game from united.

Everton is not having creativity and it's always missing the ball many times. No more chance for everton tow in the game. United is likely adding another goal otherwise. Garnacho missed the chance many times but it can still be paid off in the second half.
MU needs to ensure it is winning the game by adding more scores.

Not Manchester City, but Manchester United. A small mistake because Manchester City is stronger than Manchester United, so you forget that it is Manchester City who are playing against Everton now. Just fine.

Two goals and both came from penalty kicks. The second penalty executed by Rashford had to be awarded by the referee because Garnacho was fouled. His foot was stepped on which made him fall into a restricted area.
In this first round, Garnacho and his friends performed well.
Maybe Everton will rise in the second half even though it is not certain that they will succeed in achieving a draw.

Manchester united is now on two goals, as Gnarcho was brought down the second time to win a penalty, which was brilliantly taken by Rashford to put his club on a better position of winning their visitors. Manchester united lost two straight games, and I am happy that at least they will be able to win this match, no matter how tough their opponent might claim to be.

Everton is trying to be stubborn in the match, and they are struggling to score a goal. They have being creating chances but not too good to convert into a goal. The first and second goal was scored with a penalty, and united was able to grab two goals in 35mins.

Man United 2-0 Everton.

Manchester City leading early against Everton is interesting to see especially without their front man Hojlund , but unfortunately we all know the drill here...United score early then go to sleep and let the other team come at them and before you know it the game gets tied and possibly get behind..but hoping they prove me wrong here especially that their Manager is also hanging on some thin thread!!

But so far they are going great with Garnacho doing some damage with his quick feet winning United two penalties..it's insane  

Rashford scores  

---

Aston villa are a great time this season and that front lead by Watkins  is doing some wonders and I expect this game to have goals, say not less than 3 goal's !!

There is a chance that Richarlison might not be able to play because of a knee injury. Otherwise Tottenham have all of their important players in the attacking area ready to play. 

Son started to score goals again after returning from the Asian Cup. We saw it against Crystal Palace last week. His contribution is really valuable for this team. While he was away performing for South Korea in the cup Richarlison made difference. I hope we can see them both in the starting eleven today.

I think Aston Villa won't lose home. They are in good shape again recently and Watkins' improvement is also helpful. 

Liverpool will play at Anfield and everyone knows that Anfield is a haunted stadium for Liverpool opponents but I think that only applies to teams other than Manchester City at the moment, playing at home probably will not be too beneficial for Liverpool to beat Manchester City in that match, because Manchester City is one of the best clubs at the moment,  Manchester City consistency in facing each opponent has been very proven and it is fitting that Liverpool are wary, both teams now have the same quality, performance and consistency so it is very difficult for us to predict who the team will win in the match and it is even impossible if both teams only rely on the performance and quality of players then it looks like the two teams will only end in a draw.

With the quality of the team, the same performance and consistency of both teams, of course, later maybe the techniques and strategies used by the two coaches will be the difference that will probably make one of the teams superior later, both coaches I think have their own secret strategies in stopping the opponent and of course we will see how the two great coaches will be able to maximize the match to get 3 points for their team.

This game between Liverpool and Manchester city is really going to be a fascinating encounter between them both,  but I sees this game as the title decider, because the high level of consistency in both teams putting away the smaller teams is really good, and arsenal might use this particular game to cement their place at the top if it ends in a draw, and I believe that with the kind of form arsenal is right now, it would be very difficult for them to let go of that position, but I really do think this game will be an important player in the race for the title.

This kind of meeting of two favored teams in the Premier League is highly anticipated, especially as it could be a deciding point between the two teams, the last 2 matches that City has played have not been very good, but usually the team that has just lost has big ambitions to win the match, I think This match will be very exciting and I hope both teams can play well

Salah has been showing his capability in the match against Sparta. Salah was only absent for a few weeks and it's not something to worry about. im not doubting Salah will still consistent with his performance. Salah's injury has been forcing the club to explore more creativity in their gameplay and it's worked pretty well to push the available players to play beyond their limits. The reason City needs to have a good leftback who can always keep Salah from threatening the goalkeeper since salah is the biggest threat when it comes to the direct counter attack. 

The fact that Liverpool's gameplay improved once he joined the main squad. It is common for fans to use him as a benchmark to determine how strong Liverpool is now. Liverpool's main target to achieve victory over manchester city and lead the competition, which is unlikely to happen soon. 
Despite having some strong attackers, Liverpool still lacks a good defense. It gives more opportunities to score for manchester city since some key players won't play in this game. All players must be completely prepared for this. 

I strongly believe city can win this game even with narrow score. I don't mind how many scores to be scored by city as long as it will win and that's enough.

I don’t think that a team that loses this game will have to give up the league just already, there would still be 10 games left after that match which means a possible 30 points to me. Should Liverpool win they will be ahead of Manchester City with just four points and should Manchester city win they will be ahead of Liverpool with just two points. So it wouldn’t be over for any of them most especially when both teams still have top teams to play Against and also team’s fighting relegation and European places which are dangerous to play at the time when season is ending


This game is one tricky game that no matter the form of both teams it is unpredictable. Both teams haven’t lost at home this season I think and we all know how bad Manchester City record at Anfield is. I would have go for a Liverpool straight win base on past matches at this ground but with their injury crisis at the moment I will say it’s a tricky test for them. For anybody trying to bet on this game it will better to avoid it and pick another game because it will definitely end both ways. My prediction thing is a home win or draw

Maybe some people have hopes for Salah, but will Salah be able to bring changes to the Liverpool squad after his injury, because someone who has suffered an injury needs some time to find his rhythm again, Salah cannot be a benchmark that Liverpool will be much better.  OK, but the current squad is actually able to handle complicated matches without Salah's presence in the Liverpool squad.
