I know it's not a Premier league weekend as we having FA Cup games..but it's nice to see Manchester City giving these small teams a real beating trying to think they will have a bite of the cake...but man this is a crazy scoreline by the citizens 8 nil and they still wanted to get more goals🎉😎..hope this is a start of a new beginning as the Premier league starts next weekend and they start the challenge to chase league leaders Liverpool!!
I think Manchester City has gotten there highest goal today for all there entire match because apart from this there is no other match they scored 8 goals, i no that people will laugh a lot today because Salford was completely outweighed, actually this kind of club does not fit in premier League, however FA Cup has given MccAtee first hard trick, meanwhile Leicester City also hit a similar all time high of Manchester City but only stopping at the 6 goals and Queens Park rangers cancelled 2, Chelsea and Bournemouth 5 goals, actually the few premier League players has turned FA Cup red today.

Beating Salford City 8:0 at home I don't think is a good way to make a statement. Pep Guardiola knows where he's needed to make that statement which is in the English Premier League and of course the UEFA Champions League but I doubt the Spaniard will be able to easily do that in any of the competitions.
Manchester City this season I don't think will be able to win any other this season apart from the Community Shield they won at the start of the season.
Manchester City’s performance has improved in their last three games, they started winning and they were scoring goals to back it up, and they team looks balanced compared to last two months where they were suffering a lot of defeats due to poor performance.Manchester City this season I don't think will be able to win any other this season apart from the Community Shield they won at the start of the season.
However, winning these matches doesn’t show that they are back fully just as you said, they need to prove it in the Premier League by going back to the top with their winning streak; while they should as well try their best to make it to the Champions League knockout stage because that’s the main thing the team needs right now in order to maintain their standard.

Manchester City played well in the match, they humiliated Salford today. I know they are a small club, but at least Manchester City is regaining their confidence back. Scoring 8 goals in a match is just really too much, and I didn’t expect so many goals from Manchester City, even as they played against a weak team. Since Manchester City is beginning to bounce back, let’s see how they are going to perform in their subsequent matches in the Premier League. Manchester City is going back to the city which we used to know, they are not always scared of any team.I'm sure what Pep Guardiola will be all about now is how he will take over the first position from Liverpool, which I just think is going to be kind of difficult for Manchester City to achieve. Liverpool won’t want to drop from the first position, so they will do everything to keep on winning all their matches, but let’s see if Liverpool's performance is going to drop also, but if they can continue with their good performance, then they will be winning the league title this season.
Although Man City scored more goals in the match, the results obtained were not at all impressive, because they only faced a team playing in the 4th tier of the English Premier League. The difference in squad depth between the two is very far. The main competition remains in the Premier League, so I think it is still too early to say that Man City will continue to be on the winning track.
And for the next match in the second round of the English Premier League, Manchester City will face Brentford. Where in the previous match, Man City had difficulty winning over Brentford. They were only able to win with a narrow score of 2-1. and Brentford who recently managed to get a win after facing Southampton which ended with a score of 5-0, maybe in their meeting with Man City, they will give something different from the previous match.

Not a chance... There's a huge gap between them and Liverpool. I do think they can mount any pressure on to them even if they were to perform consistently until the end of the season. I think Manchester City will lose so more Premier League games soon.

No Premier League games this weekend and we'll have to wait till Tue for another round. To me, the most interesting game of the matchday 21 is Nottm Forest Vs Liverpool.
The odds for that game are:
Nottm Forest: x4.50
Draw: x4.00
Liverpool: x1.70
This looks about right, but maybe Nottm Forest are underestimated a bit. They are on 6 wins streak, while Liverpool lost the 1 leg semi-final against Tottenham and split points at home with troubled Man United.
What's a bit strange is that both teams tend to perform slightly better in away games than at home (the difference is negligible though).

What's a bit strange is that both teams tend to perform slightly better in away games than at home (the difference is negligible though).
Only Nottingham is better for away games than home games, about Liverpool it is clear, so far Liverpool is the best team for home and away games. However, Nottingham is the only team that managed to beat Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this season. So, underestimating Nottingham at this moment is certainly not right, because Nottingham is really a dark horse that cannot be underestimated this season.
But, because previously Liverpool lost to Nottingham at Anfield then of course, the revenge mission will be the target for Liverpool in this match, with the great ambition to take revenge then maybe it will come true for Liverpool's victory. Although maybe I am also not completely sure that Liverpool will win this match, because maybe Nottingham will make a surprise in their home game later against Liverpool.
I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool finds it difficult to win Nottingham for the second time. If this happens, it means that Nottingham understands Liverpool weakness and is using it as an advantage over them.
I see Manchester City having an away game vs Brentford. After winning 2 games in a row Guardiola's club look stronger. I liked their effort in the last one too. I guess I will seriously think of adding their win into my parlay after a while. 
Now they have won 3 games in a row, because they just beat Salford 8-0 in the Fa Cup, we don't say this often, but this is the first time City are winning three games in a row in a long time. Brentford are a very strong side at home, so it will be a very tough game for City, if City beat Brentford away from home, then i will believe that they are actually back to form and that they have found their rhythm again.

No easy game that's for sure, aren't Nottingham Forest the team that gave Liverpool the first lose this season and to meet again when both are in good form
can't wait for this one..it will be explosive!

This is my team Chelsea Can we stay consistent? I doubt.
But when we finally get to find the rhythm for consistency then people will see why we are among the nest in England. If Enzo Maresca can not find a way to make us more consistent, with time he will be axed just like every other good coaches who has managed the team.
Against Bournemouth we may get a win if we can play well and take our chances and avoiding defensive lapses which has been a main issue for us.
Now that the January transfer window is opened many teams are going to strengthen their squad, while some may also bounce back notably Manchester City and thus will even make top 4 much more difficult. Chelsea needs more consistency now than the first part of this season to be honest.
FA Cup games are ongoing. What do you think about the biggest game of the round, Arsenal - Manchester United? 
It is going to be underway tomorrow. The game is at Emirates. Arsenal are of course the obvious favourite here. However we shouldn't miss an important detail here also. Manchester United have been quite successful in the FA Cup lately. They are the last champions and they reached the final in the year before that one too. In these years, they weren't doing good in the PL. They are again struggling in the league now. I think Amorim will do his best for the players to focus on the FA Cup. We can see a surprising result IMO.
I am a Manchester United supporter, I have been watching the FA Cup matches since yesterday till today. I have watched the big clubs like Chelsea Liverpool Manchester City play smaller clubs, but as it is the time of Manchester United, they have to face big Arsenal. I don't know why they are so unlucky because it will be a bit difficult for Manchester United to beat the gunners. Although, it is an FA cup but it rather the vibe will be like that of an EPL star match.It is going to be underway tomorrow. The game is at Emirates. Arsenal are of course the obvious favourite here.

As you said, Manchester United has a good history in FA cup, they'll capitalize on that and coupled with their excellent performance against Liverpool, so it will be a difficult match for Arsenal.

Among the many FA matches played this week, of course the Arsenal vs manchester united match is a bigmatch match which is the only match that brings together two EPL teams in the FA round 3, in the last two matches, arsenal failed to get full points, including when losing to newcastle at emirates, while manchester united, their position is still at the bottom standing and it is difficult to catch up with the position to play in the European zone next season, so amorim should emulate what ten hag did last season by winning the FA as a alternative way to play in the UEL, seeing the current conditions and mentality of the two teams, I think the match will be difficult for we predictions, although arsenal play at the emirates, but it does not guarantee for their can beat manchester united in the match later, especially if amorim squad plays like against liverpool previously.It is going to be underway tomorrow.

After failing to win their last 5 games, Everton have parted ways with Sean Dyche. Everton, who have only 3 wins in the league this season and are just above the relegation zone, have temporarily brought in U18 coach Leighton Baines. There are many good managers available. Let's see who will be their choice. Everton need to be much higher up the table. I don't think they will be relegated but it's too stressful to even feel the danger.
It is not always funny for Everton very season now, over some few seasons back Everton are always struggle at the end if very season not to relegation and really it is very bad experience that very season recently, I believe they need to change the coach and found a better manager which can help to manage the team well, if not if they keep that their position on the table always one season they will see the team relegated. As for now I just which them get a better coach if not it may not be funny form them if they enter that relegation zone to the ending of the season.

Everton football team won the match against Peterborough United football team . That was totally one sided match because Everton team players did 2 goals in this match and Peterborough United team players did no goal in this match. Beto was the player who gave his team confidence because he did goal at 42 minutes of the match. I expected that Peterborough United players try to resist in this match and they tried to resist but they could not stop Everton team by doing 2nd goal in this match and Everton team players did 2nd goal at 98 minutes of the match. And he did this goal at penalty .Peterborough United team need improvement in their defense and also in the attacking system.I saw that. It's an easy game for Everton. I were not doubting them to win it. They fought against a team with far below quality than them. It's easy for them to win it. The difference in the quality owned by both of clubs is the reason here.
They made 5 goal attempts, and only 1 successfully converted into the goal. They also get additional goal came from penalty. Not good or bad performance from Everon.

This is a very important match for both Liverpool and Nottingham Forest because a win will change the gap between them, and it could have a big impact at the end of the season. It is reasonable that Liverpool is more favored than Forest because they have a squad with more famous players in it, and their points are indeed higher. But that doesn't mean Liverpool will be able to win just like that because Nottingham Forest is really strong this season and they also have the advantage of playing at home.
If Liverpool still plays like they did against Man United and Tottenham, I think Nottingham Forest will have a chance to steal points from them.
