Manchester United will play a home match today and they will face a fairly easy opponent, namely Burnley. However, I still doubt whether the Red Devils can secure full points for sure or not, considering that in recent times, even though they can take the lead, sometimes their opponents can catch up and that's what I'm worried about. It looks like the defense will be the biggest focus and I think Erik ten Hag will have to do that if they want to win easily.
Apart from that, Burnley, who is still stuck in the relegation zone, seems to be trying hard to stay in the EPL next season because it is a bit strange to see a team promoted from the start of this season suddenly have to return to the championship division. So I think I will really look forward to the result and maybe I will bet on the goal over result, it is more realistic if Manchester United's defense is still being broken down frequently.
On paper, Manchester United should be able to handle Burnley well, because Burnley itself is one of the teams in the relegation zone now. With that comparison, we can see who is better among them.
However, the problem is that Manchester United is an inconsistent team, even though the opponents they face are teams that are much weaker than them. We'll see whether Erik Ten Hag will be able to bring Manchester United to victory, or they will be embarrassed by Burnley. I hope they can handle Burnley and win this game. The reason is that it would be very disappointing if they lost to a team in the relegation zone, apart from that they will also play as hosts in this match.
If Liverpool are going to continue with their horrible performance when they play against West Ham United today, the English Premier League title race will be decide among either Arsenal or Manchester City and I think Liverpool will try their best to prevent that scenario from happening. Liverpool does have a good playing record against West Ham United and I guess they should be able to beat West Ham United today.
Liverpool knows what is at stake for them if they lose to Westham United or draw; they will be out of the Premier League title race this season. I know Liverpool is not consistent now, but with the recent performance of Westham United, Liverpool is the favorite to win against Westham United. Westham United have been defeated in their last two Premier League matches, and I think Liverpool stands a better chance of taking three points from this match.
Liverpool still has hope, but if we look at their current position, then I can say they have been eliminated from the competition for the title, unless they get lucky in the form of their competitors (Manchester City and Arsenal) experiencing consecutive defeats. However, that is difficult to happen considering that Manchester City and Arsenal are also in good condition.
I didn't expect that Liverpool would have to accept bad results by losing 2 of the 3 matches they played and that made them be in the situation they are in now. They are 2 points away from Manchester City, but Manchester City has 1 match yet to be played and if they can win that match, then they will be able to widen the gap to 5 points.
