That's football for you, your expectations would be cut short sometimes. Well, I'm really impressed by the performance from Manchester United I'm enjoying their game despite that they've had ill luck in scoring goals, they've already had several good chances created compared to that of Palace, I think the massive win against Barnsley days ago has boost the confidence of the players and they'll really need a win in the 2nd half to keep the confidence level going up. It's good to see Hojlund back, I wish Erik Ten Hag could pair him and Zirkzee together in this game cause Zirkzee is really performing well and he's good at linking the players around him together but I doubt if it would be possible and one has to step aside for the other, Gernacho one the other hand is impressive as well I hope he scored before being subbed by Rashford and also Manchester United needs one of Casemiro or Urgarte to make Kobbie work more easier since Eriksen is not really good with marking.the 2nd half has kicked of already let's see if Manchester United would continue dominating and probably find the net.

I don't think Manchester United are doing well. Many people believe that because they thrashed Barnsley 7-0, they are back in form. Barnsley are not good, which is why Manchester United defeated them by so many goals; if Manchester are good this season, they should do well in the league. And win their bouts. Now they are playing against Crystal Palace, let's see how the game will end, but I see the game can end in a draw because Crystal Palace are doing well in the defense line, they don't give Manchester United the space to enter the penalty box, Erik Ten Hag still has many things to repair in Manchester United, if he what the players to be performing good and be winning matches. Manchester United have draw the first half, let see if Erik Ten Hag will get three point today, Chelsea are really doing well and everyone knows that. Chelsea are better then Manchester United this season and how the games is going am think they can probably end in top 4 this season and get the opportunity and qualify to the next ucl.

The first half ended and the score was still 0-0. Crystal Palace did not get many chances to make shots. Only in the last minutes of the first half did they get a few chances and it seemed like in the second half they had to work hard to get out of MU's pressure. I don't think the match will be a goalless draw. MU dominated the first half, and in the second half, they might have had more chances if Crystal Palace did not change their game. Henderson was a strong wall for the Crystal Palace goal.

Yes. The Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton match is very interesting with a very exciting game tension. They managed to turn things around from one goal behind. In the remaining 20 minutes, Villa scored three goals.
Manchester United haven't been lucky in the first 45 minutes of the first half. The ball possession was won by them up to 70% but several opportunities failed to become a goal.

From the game side, in my opinion the goal will be created in 45 minutes of the second half.
9 shots conducted by Mamchester United are only 4 on target. Henderson became a Crystal Palace player who was very active in saving the goal. If the second half the score will be drawn, then Henderson deserves to be the best player of the match.

I thought Crystal Palace would put pressure on Man United because they are playing as hosts, but the opposite happened, where Man United dominated the course of the match, and they forced Crystal Palace to play completely defensive football. The deadlock has not yet broken, but if the conditions continue like this, it seems like it's only a matter of time until Man United finds the net.

Rasmus Hojlund was seen on the bench in this match and it looks like he will get a chance to play in the second half, as well as Manuel Ugarte.

All the matches you mentioned above have ended in the final score:
Aston Villa 3 - 1 Wolverhampton
Fulham 3 - 1 Newcastle
Leicester 1 - 1 Everton
Liverpool 3 - 0 Bournemouth
Southampton 1 - 1 IPSWICH
Tottenham 3 - 1 Brentford

From the match you mentioned above, the Aston Villa vs Wolves match is the most interesting match in my opinion, even though in that match Aston Villa was behind in the first half but they again showed their mentality and attitude of never giving up as usual, yes Aston Villa was able to make a fantastic comeback in today match and finally won with a score of 3-1 over wolves,  Now other match between Crystal Palace vs Manchester United is being played, Manchester United who immediately began to pressure the Crystal defense since the start of the match,was able to create several dangerous chances in the Crystal Palace defense and Even a very powerful shot made by Garnacho forced Henderson to make a fantastic save when the match was only a few minutes.

Provisional score: crystal palace 0 vs 0 Manchester United

Maresca was getting better. He was not trying to experiment by playing his players out of position. He is also very intelligent with the subs as well. His decision also helped their benched players get good minutes at the same time.

I'm very disappointed with how selfish Madueke was in this game. He also looked very off in his decision-making.

About the decision to send off Palmer at halftime. I think you forgot that, with many players in the squad, they need more minutes to develop. And this is the reason why he was benched at the mid game.

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Wolverhampton
Fulham 2 - 0 Newcastle
Leicester 0 - 1 Everton
Liverpool 3 - 0 Bournemouth
Southampton 1 - 0 IPSWICH
Tottenham 2 - 1 Brentford

Aston Villa and Newcastle two teams that I predicted to win but the first 45 minutes they lost.
Southampton and Everton use this fight to get the first 3 points.
Can still be at stake. Analysis and bet. Hope you win.

Seriously i will say Chelsea really did improved their performance in this game than their last scrappy win against Bournemouth. Many will say it is still early to judge the performance or set a target for them and i will agree but the thing is when you start getting points this early you set yourself up for better campaign and it gives the more boost to go higher. Enzo Maresca has been exceptional since his arrival to the club, one of the first thing he did was to reduce the pressure on the team by lowering their targets first and the one thing he did that even though he got into some players black books was to reduce the number of players, for goodness sake I was wondering how he would have worked with that team but the sell off of some players has actually been working.

Cole Palmer is Chelsea’s most dependable player at the moment and if there is something I notice that Enzo Maresca is trynna do it is cutting down that dependency. If we look he has substituted the player off in almost all the matches they have played. This week In the pre match conference he started that each player has their roles with Joao Felix and Cole Palmer been his attacking midfielders and that means that Palmer wouldn’t be having those long unsubstituted game times again, in as much as sometimes this doesn’t bring balance to the easily it actually creates healthy competition which is essential if the club wants to move forward, so plamer needs to be patient with the reduction of game time at the moment

It must be admitted that Arsenal is Manchester City's main rival in the EPL League for several seasons. The match between Man City and Arsenal later, which team can win this match can be one of the factors that determines the champion this season. Although it is not entirely the determinant of the champion, what happened last season is like this. So what happened last season, might happen again this season. that's why I also think Arsenal in this match will try hard to get three points.

Arsenal certainly don't want to repeat the same mistakes as last season, if they really want to win the EPL title they have to beat Man City, this victory will certainly make Arsenal more confident in the following matches. Indeed, this match Man City is still favored but in my opinion Arsenal is still optimistic that they can win this match. I will go against the flow in this match, I will bet on Arsenal's victory.

Brilliant play by Chelsea, nice!    Enzo Maresca is getting better with the players as time goes on. It is good to see it in the early stages of the season. It would be easier to remain in high places of the standings.

The only thing I didn't like to see was Madueke's selfish attitude in a big goal chance. I must add Palmer's being substituted only after 60 minutes as well. He was also surprised by that. I know they were 3-0 ahead already. But if your best player wants to play longer then you should let him.

Chelsea doesn't have Palmer in the Conference League squad in this stage. It is done to benefit from Palmer's talent longer.

Just when you gave up on Chelsea, they are flying high with their first half victory over West Ham. I can only understand how disappointed you would be right now but you have to understand that emotions are not needed in gambling. You've got to develop some kind of consistency, choose your team and continue consistently with them and you could be making more progress that you would if you continue jumping from one place to the other searching for the holy grail. As Chelsea will be winning today, will you resume playing them again?

I think we must not expect too much from Liverpool in this game. They will have an easy opponent; they will also play at home. But they can't underestimate Bournemouth. This was because their opponent was able to perform a solid low-block strategy.

Liverpool is gonna face a tough game soon, and i predict they're gonna win with a narrow score. A home game will boost their confidence. But, they will struggle against their opponent's low block.  

I expect Liverpool to win 2-0/3-1 against bourne. And i prefer to take handicap home -1.5 for this game.

The Manchester City vs Arsenal match is going to be the toughest of the week. Seriously,  the match is going to be an interesting one, and it’s going to be difficult to predict. The two clubs are currently at the top of the table, and they will do everything possible to win the match. If Manchester City can win the match, they will be able to maintain the first position, which I am sure they will try their possible best to do, and if Arsenal can win the match, they will take over the first position from Manchester City, so the two clubs won’t want to lose the match.

Anything is just possible in the match, and I believe we can see a draw in the match, but I don’t think one of the teams will dominate the match, I believe the dominance will be equal in the match.

Well said my man. But then, did you see how they did against Ac Milan? If you did, you'd be convinced that they'll comfortably win this game today against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are also hell stiffneck lol, could it be because they was at home against Chelsea last weekend? Well, in little time, we'll see how they respond to the game against Liverpool.
If ( Liverpool ) can deal with a big side like Ac Milan away from home, handling Bournemouth might not come easy but I'm sure they've got this game. 3 points to the reds is my prediction likewise. Arne Slot has kicked off nicely as the new manager of Liverpool.

Liverpool were a big disappointment on the previous week you know. Despite being in control of the game they lost to Nottingham at Anfield. It was such a poor score like 1-0 as well that I don't know there were many people making some money from it. 

Today they are hosting Bournemouth. Honestly I don't give it any chance this time. Liverpool would win here. And not just a simple win, I expect a win by at least a gap of 2-3 goals.    Arne Slot needs to make his players more focused on not making simple point losses against weak teams. If they want to stay in the title race this time, this is a must. Otherwise people will start criticizing Liverpool's not making proper signings last summer again.

From the analysis that I see, it seems that Man City will win this match even though Arsenal defense is very strong. All of this is based on Guardiola definitely wanting to provide comfort for City players when focusing on UCL. While the difference in points between Arsenal and City is only 2 points.
So Guardiola will definitely try to get 3 points from the match so that when appearing in UCL there is no pressure to chase points in the EPL.

In this match I think that the match will probably end with 2-1 and maybe I will bet on over 2.5 with odds @2.01

Manchester City against Arsenal match may likely end in a tie because they both played draw in their Champions League games and the funny thing is that they both ended in 0:0 score in their respective games in the champions league. I know that bookmakers always gives the favourite odds to Manchester City due to the fact that they mostly win Arsenal in their meetings. Arsenal is still in a good form currently same as Manchester City and the season is still new such that the both teams don't have much injury records so the players are still very much active and ready to play with enthusiasm so it will be a very tough game even though most football analysts are predicting Manchester City to win.

I think it would be more tougher for Arsenal because they're playing without Odegaard, I'm not trying to say that they can't win games without Odegaard but he's the power house in the Midfield and very important for Arsenal to perform better in that position. If you notice, when Arsenal tend to play without Odegaard, their performance declines compared to when he's playing, well I don't doubt that both teams are strong but Manchester City is the best team when it comes to winning that game, their key players would all the available, giving them a boost to defeat Arsenal. Well no matter the result of the game, I'm very sure Arsenal would allow Manchester City to win without giving a fight, Arteta has worked with Pep and understand his game infact he learn some good tactics from Pep and thats way he's one of the most outstanding managers in the EPL currently so I'm hoping to see something surprising from Arsenal's game, the most interesting thing about the match is that they're both very strong team so it's going to be a tough one even though the majority thinks Manchester City is favorite to win.

Although Arsenal has some important players coming back to their squad. But i think it makes no difference caused by they still miss Odegaard. They still won't solve their main problem without him. They lack ball circulation to their attackers..

They're still missing Odegaard in their upcoming game. There will be no good midfielder like him to control the ball circulation to their attackers. And because of that, they have less chance of coming back with points from an away game.





Bookies are not confident in Arsenal's chances to win an away game soon. Their odds are still steadily growing, which means they are being unfavored in this game. A surprise can happen. But playing without their best player will change their pattern.
