This is not Manchester United's fault but Arsenal players are quite effective in utilizing corner kicks so that they managed to score two goals from corner kicks in this match and also overall even though they lost, it must be admitted that Manchester United has shown good performance in this match and in my opinion the defeat against Arsenal is a natural thing.

Amorim has slowly shown changes in the performance of the Manchester United team, I think this is a step forward and they just need time to be able to build this team better, I am quite optimistic about that.

Amorim managed to make the game a little better, but Arsenal are in better form now and it showed, especially in the second half. I think it is too early to evaluate Amorim's work, only a few games, he is trying to understand who will be the main players of his team, and I expect that in the winter transfer window there may be big changes in the team. I see that Manchester United players are trying, but it is clearly not enough to beat Arsenal.

Buddy please I will want you to explain what you meant by Chelsea is not competing for the league, how do you even know teams that are competing for the league title, Chelsea has been able to keep up to their winning streak for some matches now and so is arsenal doing too, so what made you to come to such conclusion that chelsea is competing for second position as you choose your words to be, a team that has making efforts not to drop points and you're saying they are just comfortable with the second position, it seems you're an arenal fan which is normal but I expected an analysis that's devoid of sentiment from you instead of making it look like arsenal is the best team in the English premiership right now that can win any team easily without facing any difficulties, you've forgotten that we are talking about the game of soccer thats unpredictable irrespective of any team cureent form.

You said Liverpool will be dropping points and Chelsea may not be able to continue with their current peak because of some teams they will be having soon but I never heard you mention arsenal, that's funny bro, yea next year will tell but I assure you that arsenal will end this season without the premiership title, that's a fact you already know, as for Chelsea qualifying for champions league next year, they will that's if the team keep their performance as they are doing currently.

Liverpool really want to win the Premier League this season..

What is scary is that Manchester City happens to lose straight 4 games in a row in the Premier league competition but they are still 4th on the table with 2 points shot from equaling the 3rd and 2nd position. This victory is a just a bit of relief for Manchester City, this is just a minor win for Guardiola since the opponent is not a difficult one, they lost some crucial games that supposed to prove how best they are this season, a team that worn series of Premier league trophy in a role, this could have been a sad ending story for Guardiola if he doesn't strategies his team soon, which we can fortunately keep in mind this time around as he already took a step by securing his full points lastly.

Chelsea has brought in more surprises to the Premier league so far, just within a short space of time they made changes and went from down here to up the table, this is the same result expected from United's new coach but has failed yet to prove to the club. Chelsea are not even contending for the title, they best understand what they are fighting and work towards it, City will definitely come back contending more actively in the race and that will have impact in where they finishes on the table, Maresca really knows what he is doing.

That was the only cheat that Arsenal used to outsmart United to get their two goals, apart from that both teams played beautifully. I believe that Amorim has learnt another lesson on where to foucus more attention on which is corner kick, so that other clubs will not use corner kicks to find the back of United net easily like what happened yesterday.

I am not bothered with the result, because I expected a win from Arsenal and the best from United was a draw but it turned out that Arsenal got three points in this match, because of their super form that they are in recently.

I know Nottingham Forest have been doing a little bit well since returning back to main league but I never have a single doubt that Manchester City will defeat them. Manchester City is currently running on a bad day streak but winning that game is a must for them to restore their confidence and get back to the game. Despite their bad form, they were the favourite to win and they did. We can not conclude they are back to their winning days but at least the yesterday win will calm the situation and pressure on Pep.


How does this sound to you? Isn't it insulting saying Chelsea are competing for second place? Let be fair with Chelsea at least for their performance so far. I know we all judge Chelsea earlier from the performance last season and at the beginning of this season but they've proved everybody wrong with their shocking performance and now they are occupying the third position on the table. Of course, they can not be relied on as usual but despite seeing them second position on the table and assume them as second position fighter is under rating. As long as they maintain their position in the top four with almost similar points with the rest of the clubs, they are contending for whatever thing is Arsenal is contending.

This time Pep did what he had to do right, especially after experiencing a series of defeats. He played his starting eleven which was indeed worthy, no longer trying something by overhauling some of his players' positions. Silva, De Bruyne, Gundohan and Grealish performed well again. The victory over Nottingham Forest should have been the beginning of City's revival back on track.


So far Chelsea have done a very good job, they are unbeaten in their last 6 matches. In addition, Enzo Maresca's squad is very productive in terms of scoring goals. At least currently Chelsea can be said to be a team that must be watched out for by their opponents, they are in 2nd place in the standings even though they have the same points as Arsenal. Next week will be a tough match for Chelsea, their opponent is Spurs, a team that is not easy to beat. Interestingly, Enzo Maresca will be tested again against a team that can be said to be quite strong and will he be able to keep his team on the right track. Well, we should wait.

It was Bernardo Silva who actually scored the first goal with assist from KDB, the second goal later came from KDB which was assisted by Doku, and finally the third goal  which was scored in the second half was by Doku with Erling Haaland assisting in that goal. Haaland made several attempts on putting his name on the scoresheet last night but to no avail.

Any further loss would keep Man City in a bad position in the premier league. It's great they're picking up with their performances. Guardiola is also focused on making changes between goal keepers Ederson and Ortega who starts the game. He's not highly confident on Ederson after the 2-0 defeat against Liverpool. But the goal keeper is still his No.1 in the club. Changes as this would help him figure out the cause of their crisis.

The title is actually beyond the reach of Chelsea that's why they prefer competing on the second position but arsenal on the other hand is too strong to want only the second position so the trophy is there motivation while Liverpool is on there better face now because there is no way I would say that arsenal will top the premier League when Liverpool has up to 7 point different from them and to make things more complicated for arsenal Liverpool will be having smooth wining from there premiere league matches they would be having from now because certainly they would win Everton, Full ham and so many others. However what if Liverpool win the premier League and also the champions League how would they be rate?.

It is quite surprising that Chelsea can climb to 2nd place at this time. Because it is true that in the previous season there were many people who mocked Chelsea's failure, who always tried to change coaches but the results were always bad. But now Chelsea has proven that its efforts have indeed produced very good results. Because currently Chelsea can compete at the top of the English league standings and can overtake Arsenal and Manchester City's. Apart from that, Chelsea's current performance is really great, because in last night's match Chelsea managed to break into Southampton's goal with 5 goals. This proves to us that the current Chelsea players are really great.

So with Chelsea's current performance, I personally don't hesitate to say that Chelsea can get a ticket to the UCL for next season. Because we can see that Chelsea's biggest competitors for getting tickets to the UCL are currently only Arsenal and Manchester City. Because Liverpool definitely doesn't need to be paid attention to by Chelsea, because Liverpool are currently at the top of the standings with quite a large difference in points. So currently Chelsea only needs to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal. And I am sure that if Chelsea's performance continues to be as stable as it is now, Chelsea can be sure of finishing in 2nd place in the English league. Therefore, Chelsea must maintain consistent performance if they want to get a ticket to the UCL.

Manchester City is starting to find momentum to rise and return to a better moment even though if we look at it there are still some weaknesses that still occur when they beat Nottingham Forest. It can be said that Manchester City has started to find its best form in the match because Nottingham Forest is not a weak club this season even though in several matches they have not been very consistent because they have experienced three defeats in their last five matches.

The next match will be against Crystal Palace so Manchester City will not face much greater pressure and I am sure they will continue their positive trend for the match and will secure three full points at Crystal Palace's home next week.

Yeah, and i think it's wise not to expect them to participate in the title race. I have seen many of Maresca's interviews about his club. He always  says they're not a candidate for the title race.

I think Chelsea is gonna overachieved this season. they performed far from our expectation. Two squads, 22 players, and working properly. It's kinda weird to see their odds is still considerably high like any one didn't really change their odds. It's getting opposite with what City did.

I never expect Maresca to transform Chelsea in matter of months, but it happens.

Ruben Amorin failed his first big test as a Manchester United manager, well it's not something that I should be suprised about cause I noticed the players are still trying to adapt to the new system, they might have won a struggling Everton but Arsenal is currently at the peak of their game and not a team to experiment with, I'm even more surprised that Manchester United didn't conceded more goals and the both goals they conceded we're from set piece, I think that's what Amorin needs to work on, how to the able to defend in situations like that. Arsenal deserves the crown of the set piece kings they've mastered it and are putting it to good use, while watching the match it got me so confused when Arsenal are about playing corner kicks cause their players isolate from the rest then suddenly run closer to United players to create confusion for their teammate to target the ball and find the back of the net, it's quite interesting how Arteta came up with such and I'm impressed with their performance.

The victory that Manchester City got when they hosted Nottingham Forest could indeed be a morale booster for Manchester City players again this season. Because the Manchester City team really needs to win again so that they are not too far from the top four zone, especially at this time a team like Brighton has also shadowed Manchester City in the zone because previously Manchester City had often experienced consecutive defeats. Apart from that, there are three other top teams who are currently looking quite strong so that Manchester City also needs to think about it in order to be able to catch them through the upcoming games.

I wanted to bet on Manchester City to win against Nottingham Forest yesterday, but when I remembered Manchester City's recent struggles in the Premier League, I was afraid to bet on them to win against Nottingham Forest, but I regretted my decision when they were winning against Nottingham Forest at Etihad Stadium yesterday. It is a good thing that Manchester City is finding their way back to winning matches in the Premier League; it will improve their confidence to win more matches in the Premier League. Kevin De Bruyne was amazing for Manchester City yesterday; his one goal and one assist helped Manchester City to easily beat Nottingham Forest yesterday.

Pep Guardiola will be a bit relief now after losing somany matches in the past weeks and finally had a a winning yesterday against Nottingham, I think Kelvin De Bruyne is coming back to its form again as had one assist and a goal but I wouldn't still conclude if Manchester City has gotten back form until there performance in their probably next 3 game ahead.

Chelsea has been in a good this season they really improve as they have been on winning ways  they won Southampton yesterday with a better goal margin though I wasn't surprised with the scoreline Because Southampton has not really did well this season as they even at the bottom of English premier league table after playing 14 game they were only able to win just one game lost 11 and draw 2 that's a very poor performance for Southampton this season as they might likely be relegated if they refuse to improve their form.

That's the difference between Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea is competing for second place but Arsenal is chasing for the title. Liverpool will drop a point. Chelsea might not be able to keep up with their performance because they still have strong games ahead of them. Anyway, next year will tell because the season has just begun. We will see more big teams dropping points next year and that will decide which is in the title race.

This doesn't stop me from giving credit to Enzo Maresca for what he is doing in Chelsea. They have improved from finishing below the 11th position for the past two seasons. And now they are in second position. More is expected from the team if they want to qualify for the Champions League next season.

The yoke has been broken yesterday, and I saw it, immediately Haaland scored the first goal because of the ball work which shows that City are getting better. The joy in Pep was immeasurable yesterday on the pitch and the players are back from Injury apart from Rodri. Doku was able to score after coming back from injury also with De Bryne. I hope a City will continue smiling in their next matches. A good victory for Chelsea as they won Southampton 5-1.
