Man City is indeed very lucky to have a great midfielder like Kevin De Bruyne. He is able to make the flow of the ball in building attacks into the opponent's defense area very organized. As a midfielder he is also quite productive. I hope Man City continues to retain great midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne. And currently De Bruyne's contract at Man City is only until 2024/2025. Or until next season. And based on several news circulating, it seems that Man City is still delaying the process of negotiating a new contract for De Bruyne. Even though I would prefer Man City to make negotiations progress quickly to be able to continue to keep these great players at Man City on longer contracts. But I believe Man City management will also do it. They are just waiting for the right time.
Since joining Manchester City from Wolfsburg in 2015, De Bruyne has become an indispensable pillar in the team's squad. He has played an essential part in many titles won by Manchester City, including the Premier League and other cup competitions. His existence is a testament to Manchester City's ambition and stability in maintaining and developing their strong squad. He is one of the best players in Manchester City's history. During his years in charge at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola must have been fortunate to own such a talented star. But injuries and age will not guarantee that Manchester City will retain this midfielder after 2025. And the Etihad Stadium team rarely stands in the way of a player who wants to leave, and clubs in the Saudi Pro League are said to want to spend big on the Belgian international. De Bruyne may be the one to decide whether to stay or go. Currently, Foden has taken over De Bruyne's position well when he was injured. Foden will play better without De Bruyne on the field. At that time, the influence of detonator number 47 will not be limited. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have been applying and getting used to the absence of De Bruyne. It's just that things are a little tricky.
Manchester City and Arsenal both won wins over their opponents this week and this allows them to breathe a sigh of relief about the title race this season. However, another team, namely Liverpool, will only play a match this week and their opponent will be their eternal rival, namely Manchester United. Honestly, this is a big match this week and I can't wait to watch these two big English teams in action to win 3 additional points.
For Liverpool, winning against Manchester United is a fixed price that they have to pay, especially since Manchester United is a team that they always want to beat in every meeting. On the other hand, Manchester United will also do the same thing, especially since the defeat against Chelsea will still leave a scar in their hearts. If Liverpool win, then they will again take over top position from Arsenal and if Manchester United win then they will widen the gap over West Ham.
Apart from that, last season's crushing 7-0 defeat will definitely still haunt the Red Devils to this day and I wonder if it could happen again? Anyway, I will definitely bet on Liverpool.

It's very true that Liverpool are the clear favourite for this one, but you see this Manchester united side, they are very much unpredictable in their performance
Let’s just wait and see how the match will go, but I just don’t know why I have the feelings that the match is going to be a easy win for Liverpool, Manchester United won Liverpool in FA cup match, but i don’t think that’s going to repeat its in the premier league match, Liverpool will do everything possible to win the match, so that they will be able to take over first position from Arsenal, Liverpool is not going to play with any of their matches left. Manchester United is inconsistent this season, they perform well in matches you will never expect them to perform well, but I don’t think they are going to perform well in todays match. 
It is difficult to predict if the opponent is Liverpool, sometimes Manchester United, when faced with a strong opponent, can play to a draw, but it all comes back to the coach and his decision later on the field. Will Erik Ten Hag make the same mistakes as against Chelsea? Erik Ten Hag pulled his front line with players who were poor in attack. I even tried to predict a draw if I looked at the ambitions of each team which had a target of getting 3 points. Apart from that, it is possible that Liverpool will immediately step on the gas and bombard Onana defense. It's just a matter of how solid Manchester United's back line is, if they are able to withstand Liverpool's fast attacks, it's better to use Garrnacho and Hojlund to be ready to counterattack.
The Man United squad always becomes more alert when facing a strong team like Liverpool so the results are always quite surprising. That is, like the last meeting between Man United vs Liverpool, Man United managed to win. And yeah it was quite surprising for me too. But I'm sure Klopp will not repeat the same mistakes as against Man United in the Fa Cup. And likewise, Ten Hag will definitely not make the same mistakes as when facing Chelsea last week. Because Man United will be even more underestimated if they lose again today's match in front of their own supporters. But I personally will still trust Liverpool. Although a draw is possible. but I'd probably rather bet on Liverpool. 
It's very true that Liverpool are the clear favourite for this one, but you see this Manchester united side, they are very much unpredictable in their performance, which we can all attest to the fact of how their performance against Chelsea at the dieing minutes of that encounter, and when you expect the least from them, that's when they are going to surprise everyone and win convincingly, so ruling them out completely against Liverpool regardless of their defensive record this season is not ideal, besides, I don't think Liverpool will take them lightly due to the fact that their immediate past meeting between them in FA cup didn't ends well for the Liverpool side, so I believe that they will definitely go full strength against Manchester united in today's encounter, so in as much as it's going to be a fascinating encounter between them, it's also going to be an open tie also, so any of this team can win this tie regardless of people's expectations.
Manchester United's painful defeat against Chelsea in their last match will certainly have quite a big impact on this match against Liverpool.In terms of mentality and self-confidence in Manchester United players, it is very bad now and also if you look at it from the other side, the Liverpool team also has quite a lot of motivation to win to maintain its position at the top of the standings.
As for what happens in the next match, I don't think it will have a big impact and it must be admitted that this match will still be difficult because even though this is a prestigious match between two teams that have been a rivalry for a very long time, this will make the match It's going to be fierce, but we also have to look realistically at the strength and motivation of both teams.
That was last season, but this season is different. Liverpool wants to get a prestigious title and they gave up the FA Cup title when they were defeated by Man United. Now it's time for Liverpool to avenge their previous defeat in the PL and not let Man Utd win a single point in this match because Liverpool will try to be strong to win and catch up with the other 2 teams who have won first.
Don't forget that Manchester United had this same weak defense when they beat Liverpool in the Fa cup. This same United had same weak defense when they played draw with Liverpool in the premier league when the met during their first meeting this season. United have the chance to inflict pain to Liverpool tittle hope because that's what rivals do. Manchester United and Liverpool are old rivals who doesn't want each other progress. Manchester United are on pressure because of the bad results they have been getting lately and they will want to correct it. Besides they have their own ambition of qualifying for an Europa league spot, so they don't want to lose to Liverpool. This game is might end in a draw. Ten Hag has to remove the pressure on his shoulder by producing a convincing result today.
Despite Man-United been on pressure to win today's game against Liverpool due to it's recent poor performance between Chelsea and Brentford, thats the same way Liverpool will also be on pressure wanting to win so as to be rank top of the premier league once again, as they are just 1 point against Arsenal, who happens to be the current club topping the league now. So it's really going to be a tough match today, of which I'm expecting either a draw or victory for Liverpool. As it will really take a miracle for Man-United to win this game, but however, in football nothing is impossible. Manchester City continues to win.Despite falling behind against Crystal Palace, City did not lose their dominance in the match and defeated their opponent 4-2 and got 3 points.City, who fell behind 1-0 with a goal in the 4th minute but closed the first half 1-1 with a goal scored by Kevin De Bruyne, managed to increase the pressure from the beginning of the second half.The star of the match was undoubtedly Kevin de Bruyne.The star player, who completed the match with 2 goals and 1 assist, managed to bring 3 points to his team.
Man City is indeed very lucky to have a great midfielder like Kevin De Bruyne. He is able to make the flow of the ball in building attacks into the opponent's defense area very organized.

In a battle of 2 relegation teams, it was Everton who won at home.Everton are a bit more relaxed thanks to these 3 points.Burnley's chances are dwindling and even over.Together with Sheffield, they will probably not compete in the Premier League next season. The 3rd team may not be decided until the last week.The competition is fierce between the teams but Nottingham Forest have a game in hand.
Although Luton Town won against Bournemouth, the in-form team of the last weeks, they are still 1 game behind their opponent.It is important for Luton Town to win this game, but if they want to continue in the race with their opponent in the coming weeks, they need to avoid losing points.For some reason, I think they are closer to relegation.
Arsenal, on the other hand, continues on its way without losing points.Arsenal, which is currently the leader with more than one match, managed to get 3 points with 3 goals in a difficult away match.

As we already know, Liverpool's visit to Man United's headquarters is for revenge, so I hope Erik Ten Hag is ready to face Liverpool's attack. Jurgen Klopp will maximize all the strength he has in order to bring 3 points so he can regain the top of the standings and create a 2 point difference from Arsenal. I fully bet that Liverpool will win, playing at the opponent home ground is not an excuse if Man United is able to excel. In fact, Man United could provide competition as long as the squad is able to build cooperation. Based on several matches that I have watched, Man United's weakness is when the players cannot work together and Ten Hag bad decisions in using players. For example, Ten Hag always changes players when stability occurs, such as bringing in Rashford and McTominay who are lazy at the back. Many times the presence of this player makes the attack dull, therefore I agree more if Garnacho is retained rather than Rashford.
If I refer to the predicted line up that Ten Hag will apply in several references, it looks like Rashford is not included in the starting eleven in this match. Mctominay and Kobbie were the pivots, while Rashford was replaced by Garnacho. The line up predictions are just a reference, regarding who Ten Hag will play, we will find out. To be honest, I don't think United can win this match even though it is held at Old Tranfford. Moreover, several of Ten Hag's mainstay players will be absent due to injuries. Meanwhile, Liverpool almost always does their job well. IMO, this game will be draining for both teams. Liverpool needs full points to shift the ranking occupied by Arsenal to become the top of the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, United also needs full points, especially since this match will be played in front of the Red Devil's supporters.
I won't talk about tactics in this post, but let's just follow how these two teams fight. United have odds @4.70, while Liverpool @1.62. It is clear that there is a quite significant gap. My guess is, this match could end in a draw. but with the condition, as you said, The Red Devils must play as a team. After all, they actually have a front line that is quite dangerous in the opponent's area. ideal option for me, handicap +75 @2.10 even though it is very risky. yeah, it's called betting, it always involves risk. so, let's wait and enjoy.
That's true, indeed recently United have not had a good performance and they are now in sixth place. That's not too bad, but their recent performance has not been optimal, perhaps because they have problems with their defense Indeed, with United's current weak defense and poor performance maybe this will be a good opportunity for Liverpool. But what you say is true as a big team they can give surprises when they are on the field.
Considering the results of recent matches between Liverpool and Manchester United, the Liverpool team can undoubtedly be considered as the favourite. Manchester United are in a very bad position right now. Liverpool have won four of their last five matches, sharing points only against Manchester City. Liverpool, on the other hand, have lost three of their last five matches, winning just one. Even in the last match, Manchester United could not win against Chelsea.
However, Manchester United's record against Liverpool is better this season. These two teams have met twice. Manchester United won the FA Cup match 4–3. Even Liverpool's home match in the Premier League was a goalless draw. And so even if Liverpool are in good form, they will have to play well if they want to get 3 points against United. Especially the attacking players have to perform well.
Yes, this match is very important for Liverpool to top the standings... After a bad game against Chelsea, Man U have spent a lot of energy and for Liverpool it is an advantage... I think Liverpool will win today, because Man U make a lot of mistakes in the last games... The game against Chelsea shows that it will be difficult for Man U to play against strong clubs... Their win over Liverpool in the League Cup doesn't suggest that it will happen again in the EPL...
Aston Villa drew 3-3 with relegation rivals Brentford.Their loss of points in the last 2 weeks has been completely to Tottenham's benefit.It has become easier for Tottenham to be 4th.Aston Villa scored goals at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half to take a 2-0 lead, but they fell behind 3-2 after conceding goals between the 59th and 68th minutes. Fortunately Watkins managed to score the equalizer, but after the narrow win here, their chances of going to the champions league are getting less and less.The points difference with Totthenham has decreased and although Totthenham has 2 games less, the points difference is only 3.I think Totthenham will at least get 1 win from the 2 matches they will play and reduce the points between them.
Manchester City got a comfortable win against Crystal Palace
Manchester City secured an amazing away victory over Crystal Palace. Manchester City are in good form this season, when Crystal Palace scored the first goal, I knew it wouldn't be hard for Manchester City to come back because they couldn't lose to 14th place Crystal Palace, however, Manchester City couldn't keep a clean sheet against Palace, they conceded two goals.
Crystal Palace scored the first goal which I thought would make Man City struggle to get the ball but it got the Citizens on their feet, if Palace was a better side it would have been very difficult for Manchester City to start scoring and when the game was coming to an end that was when the 14th placed Crystal Palace started playing like their life depends on it.
These guys (Crystal Palace) are suppose to be at the bottom like where we have Sheffield UTD on the table, they have better players but to get things done is a problem and I won't say City are in good form, this is the worse I have seen from the Citizens, this season they haven't been like the City that won the EPL and UCL, is been pretty hard for them.
Wolverhampton were defeated at home against West Ham.Wolverhampton, who led at half time with Sarabia's penalty goal in the first half, were defeated in the second half with 2 goals scored by West Ham.Although Wolverhampton played a better game than their opponent, they could not defeat their opponent and some things need to change in the next season.Neither team has much purpose in the remaining weeks, but the fact that they played so well and lost the match shows that they should question themselves.
Don't forget that Manchester United had this same weak defense when they beat Liverpool in the Fa cup. This same United had same weak defense when they played draw with Liverpool in the premier league when the met during their first meeting this season. United have the chance to inflict pain to Liverpool tittle hope because that's what rivals do. Manchester United and Liverpool are old rivals who doesn't want each other progress. Manchester United are on pressure because of the bad results they have been getting lately and they will want to correct it.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have lost three of their last five matches, winning just one. Even in the last match, Manchester United could not win against Chelsea.
However, Manchester United's record against Liverpool is better this season. These two teams have met twice. Manchester United won the FA Cup match 4–3. Even Liverpool's home match in the Premier League was a goalless draw. And so even if Liverpool are in good form, they will have to play well if they want to get 3 points against United. Especially the attacking players have to perform well.

Manchester United manager and the players knows other clubs are closing up already on the Premier League Competition right now, it's either they win or they don't even lose. This is not about doing it for Arsenal or whoever that wants to win the Premier League Competition but they should do for themselves.
Yes Manchester United might hav struggled to win against Chelsea during the last game but this game has got to be their greatest rivals in the Premier League Competition, they have to be focused. Erik Ten Hag should stick that that squad that came up against Chelsea and hopefully they don't lose confidence over that lose at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool though are hungry lions, Mo Salah has scored as much goals against Manchester United and would be lined to do same yet again.
After Arsenal and Man City won their game, Liverpool will be under intense pressure to take back their spot and I'm of the mind that they will bring everything to the table, they will even take advantage of Man UTD's inability to win games and hope to come out top but with the surprisingly 4-3 win the Red devils got over them in the FA, I think Jurgen Klopp won't want to take Erik's men for granted. In March 5, 2023, Liverpool gave Man UTD the shocking defeat of their lives, thrashing them 7-0 at the Anfield and I don't think that will be an event any Man UTD fan will forget in a hurry.
This game will be another avenue for Erik ten Hag to prove that he's got good plans for the team else he might as well kiss his job goodbye if he bottles this.
Arsenal and Man City fans(especially Arsenal) will be hoping that Man UTD can be able to beat Liverpool so that there'd be one less competition for their shot at the title , but with how relentless Liverpool have been, can Man UTD be able to deliver or will they be shifted further from their dreams of making it to the champions league next season?

I'm posting a little late because I was irritated with psg and because of that I had to cashout my bet to avoid losing as I already had a profit thanks to Manchester City and Arsenal's victory. I'm not going to complain too much because even though it wasn't much profit, it was still profit. Manchester City once again showed that they are an extremely strong team, they won this game with ease, but conceding 2 goals against Crystal Palace was not a good performance from their defense considering that they will be playing against Real. madrid in the next game which will be in 2 days, in the next game manchester city will need to have good defense if they want to win the game
Arsenal also played very well, they won very easily and the most interesting thing is that Arsenal didn't concede goals, they have good players that you can put in the starting 11 and also have good players on the bench, and few teams can do that. The arsenal doesn't lack good strikers, they have too many. and this is a squad that deserved to win the premier league this season, but as a liverpool fan I'm rooting for liverpool to win the premier league, if liverpool were far from the top I would be rooting for arsenal. As I said before, unfortunately I had to cash out as soon as I saw that the PSG coach didn't put his best players at the start of the game
Manchester United FC - Liverpool FC
this will be a complicated game for liverpool, due to some bad luck whenever we play against manchester united we are not having good results in the last games, I bet on liverpool to win

Man City managed to win their away match against Crystal Palace with a score of 2:4. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Man City was able to win a match which was quite easy for them because he also has the determination to continue achieving a winning streak in every match he faces and tries as hard as possible. so as not to be left behind by the top 3 teams in the competition for the EPL title. This is truly the fiercest battle so far this season among other domestic leagues.
I know that Manchester city will win the match despite what they where experiencing in the first half that made crystal palace to hold their defense stronger for Manchester city strikers not to find opportunity easily. You can see that Manchester city manager didn't use some of their potential players to played crystal palace, but they still turned the match to their favour by succeeded to scored four goals to defeated crystal palace 4-2. I think, their next match will still be for their favour because all their potential players will fully be on ground to be part of that match, and it will end up for the favour of Manchester city to embrace another three points to move to second position.Manchester City is a strong team. And quite experienced. Guardiola also rested several players from his squad against Aston Villa. Even then, Manchester City defeated a strong team like Aston Villa 4-1. City players were very confident. It was not difficult for City to beat a team like Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace performed very well in this match. Even then they were not able to win the match. Crystal Palace scored only 4 minutes after the start of the match. However, De Bruyne's goal in the 13th minute leveled the match. De Bruyne scored two goals and Haaland scored one goal in this match. Manchester City is going to face Real Madrid in the next match. I am eagerly waiting to watch this match.
Manchester City continues to win.Despite falling behind against Crystal Palace, City did not lose their dominance in the match and defeated their opponent 4-2 and got 3 points.City, who fell behind 1-0 with a goal in the 4th minute but closed the first half 1-1 with a goal scored by Kevin De Bruyne, managed to increase the pressure from the beginning of the second half.The star of the match was undoubtedly Kevin de Bruyne.The star player, who completed the match with 2 goals and 1 assist, managed to bring 3 points to his team.
