It's unbelievable that Chelsea equalise in the first half, whereas Manchester United would have score two goals assuming the penalty kick was scored but Manchester United lose the penalty to Chelsea, even the Chelsea had penalty to Manchester inside eighteen but the referee couldn't notice that earlier, I will say it has not be notice earlier is because the last man device was faulty and they couldn't detect it easily, so Chelsea equalise the match unexpectedly because Chelsea have missed almost two chances and the third attempt Cole Palmer scored the goal, I believe that this will end 2:1 or draw, but Manchester United is seen to defeat the match because their pressure is much to Chelsea, the first half ended 1:1

Despite the fact that they scored just before half time I think it will have little effect on the outcome, for I think MU will win this match. They dominated the whole first half in all aspects except ball possession, they are better attackers, better shooters. I'm afraid Chelsea either have no chance here or it will be a hard fought draw

It was actually a big opportunity Bruno Fernandez miss if not by now it would have been 2-1 against Chelsea but however Manchester United seem more challenging on this match, although I no that there matches against Chelsea is always like this but with the way the match is going if Manchester United continues there performance there is every possibility of wining Chelsea, but there mistake was the penalty Bruno Fernandez miss.

Well with the look of things I believe that Manchester United will either win or draw because they are really putting an effort on this there match but let's see how it goes.

You are explaining a very important detail. The loss of trust in football causes fans to react. In the last Manchester City match, the referee did not continue an advantageous position, which caused City to lose 2 points. Maybe they will miss the championship by 1 point, we don't know.

The VAR system is supposed to have a positive impact on football but referees manipulate it as they want. Football is the most watched sport in the world and mistakes are the end of football.

I think like you, I wouldn't be surprised if there is news of bribery in the coming days. The other possibility is that maybe something like this was done because of the position in the match and there is no ulterior motive.

Manchester United's performance was very good in this match, so I think they have a high chance of winning the match. Chelsea ultimately managed to take advantage of their opportunity to equalize at 1-1, but I'm sure Manchester United can beat Chelsea's game. The team played full of confidence and this was not like the previous match against Newcastle, of course Chelsea had to be more or less in the defensive area throughout the first half.

In another match, Manchester City really came under high pressure from Aston Villa. Manchester City defended more in the first half because Aston Villa intensively launched merciless attacks on Manchester City's defense. Unfortunately there were no goals in this match even though Aston Villa had several good chances throughout the first half. I hope the second half will be more intense for these two matches, of course this makes me watch two matches at once.

A well deserved goal for Manchester United after falling to score in so many good chances created it's really nice to see them get a goal finally to take the lead becase they have been a better team showing good performance to be honest. I was expecting a strong match since it's a game between two great teams but seeing the level of dominance from Manchester United I think they will end up getting a win at home.

I think both Manchester united are not really in their best form this season so I think they are just playing to get a win because they are mounting much pressure on the Chelsea team but since the score line has been leveled to 1:1, I think we get to see a more interesting game in the second half.

Manchester united is misusing their opportunity as Bruno lost the penalty which would have given Manchester united the lead. The game might change soon in favor of Chelsea and if Chelsea make proper use of their opportunity, they might net the post.

Manchester united is missing good opportunity as Chelsea goalkeeper is depriving them from scoring with his brilliant saves. Currently, Manchester united is in possession of the game.

Mc Tominay has finally broken the deadlock on the 19th minutes with a good finish after so many attempt.

Yeah finally Manchester United managed to score the first goal after much effort I noted that in 25 minutes Manchester United had fired 12 shots 5 of them are on target meaning they played aggressively from the first minute, while Chelsea seems to still be observing the match no need to rush. We know Manchester United is not safe yet so they have to anticipate a counterattack from Chelsea like what Chelsea did in their last few matches they can surprise the opponent at any time, I think Chelsea will do it in the second half. In another match, Aston Villa vs Manchester City no goals so far but it looks like Aston Villa are in control of the match, somehow they seemed more confident maybe a factor as a home team?

Liverpool also scored the first goal since the first half and now there are 20 minutes left in the game, even though Liverpool controlled the match up to 85% they have to remain careful because they are playing as an away team I mean sometimes the home team has more power to destroy anyone. By the way, it seems there is no change in position in the standings almost all teams took the same places before.

It’s almost the half time mark and Manchester United have lost the slim lead over their opponents as Chelsea have managed to score a goal and equalize the scores. At this point, I bet Chelsea can’t wait till the half time after being under constant pressure from United. But it also seems they’ve woken up and beginning to play better minutes before the half time.
Man United on the other hand, has not been playing so bad. But if they had been better, the opportunities they had let go to waste would have been made to better use.
I think Manchester United has a somewhat weak midfield in this game.

So United has rumours of some players being unruly and Erik ten Hag chooses to drop the likes of Martial and Rashford to the bench and suddenly United is playing full of confidence which tells a story here and hope am not being speculative here  !

Btw, With Chelsea being in far better form I honestly didn't expect the Reds devils to be the better team here despite of the scoreline(1-1) but I feel United should take this one with the 12th player on their side and being on their home turf..let's go United!

Elsewhere, Aston Villa giving Manchester City a hard lesson and with the form they are in they could get away with a win here...

As it stands Aston Villa 1-0 Man City HT

Match still 0-0 between Aston Villa and Manchester City

This is a really exciting game to watch,it's bad that I'm not watching it,but I wish Manchester City get a way to win this one as I gave them a straight win in my ticket.I also want Aston Villa to score as well,but I predicted a 2:1 win in favour of Manchester City in this game.It is sad that City are finding it difficult to get their way to score in this game.But I still think in the second half,City will get a double goal,and win this game.Aston Villa's coach  Emery,is really doing an incredible work at Villa,and he's making sure Villa qualified for either champions league or Europa league next season,I think that is his target,and he has made the top four  a hot one for the big teams.

Everyone is talking about how Arsenal barely got away with a win, but if they somehow magically end up winners of the season, then nobody will remember this game, nobody would even question it. I do not know if something is going on behind the closed doors, but refs ended up preventing City to win the game on the last seconds, they ended up making them lose, and then they gave Arsenal extra time and making them win. I think if someone provided me a proof of refs or some betting mafia making sure that Arsenal gets the title this year, I wouldn't be shocked with that.

The whole world is expecting City to win, and I think if Arsenal wins then a lot of sportsbooks will make a lot of profit as well, so that could be one reason. I am not saying there is bribery or anything going on, all I am saying is that if something like that was provided as a proof to me, I would not be shocked to learn that, I already assume that's what's going on as of right now anyway.

I agree that Man City defense is the weakest line, they need to improve it if Man City wants to play stronger. You're right, Pep needs to sign an experienced center back. They also need to sign a new right back and left back who has a good ability both in attacking and defending. Man City defense is in urgent to improve, current defenders seem hard to make Man City be more competitive.

Indeed. In the last season, Man City has duo İlkay Gündoğan-Kevin De Bruyne in the midfield line. These players succeed to make Man City very strong both in attacking and defending. Now, Man City lost the roles of these players. Gündoğan moved to Barcelona, meanwhile De Bruyne got injured for a long time. The absence of these players bring big impacts to Man City performance because they are no players who have the similar ability like them. Julian Alvarez and Bernando Silva may be good in attacking but they are not proper players to keep the balance for the team. Julian Alvarez and Bernando Silva can't play well for defending, they are only good for attacking.

Chelsea have been a strong team against most of the big teams this season, ending games with a draw instead of loosing. They have not started well and confidently at Old Trafford, they would have even been more than a goal already down if not for some good saves from Sanchez the Chelsea Goalkeeper. There is still plenty of time in this game for Chelsea to score back because Manchester United are also vulnerable and capable of making mistakes too in defense if put under pressure. Chelsea have to make sure that they are not scored again by Manchester United before the halftime.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United has a great opportunity to score the first goal. Bruno Fernandes just missed the penalty. I thought the game was over for Chelsea when the penalty was awarded, but McTominay scored again to put Manchester United ahead. Given that the game is still in its first half and Chelsea can still score at any time, Manchester United needs to play more defensively. They are have a great start against Chelsea. My only concern is that this one doesn't end the same way as their previous games. I don't want the match to go that way after winning the first half and end up drawing or losing,is either they should start losing from the first half.

Aston Villa are quite good at balancing the game against Manchester City in many kind of statistics now. They have been the much closer side to score the first goal as well. Manchester City have only 2 goal attempts so far which doesn't fit a team like them at all. I was expecting Emery to make things difficult for them but this is way more than I expected. 

But I still want to believe in Manchester City to find a way to win this game. Even if they get 1-0 behind I think they will somehow make a comeback. They have much more qualified players and a manager like Guardiola. I think it must be time to end this draw streak.

If Manchester United had made good use of all their opportunities gotten so far, they would probably have been leading by about 3 to 4 goals. They’ve kept coming over and over as their first goal has likely given them a morale boost to go on for more.
The game is still early to comfortably predict a winner as there is still the second half to play and the game could still go either way. Good start by Manchester United. Hopefully, they could keep up the momentum and get more goals.

Bruno missing that penalty awarded was obvious, he was standing so relaxed as if he won't Miss it. though Manchester united have been able to see the back of the net from a beautiful goal from the 18 yard box from mcTominay. From the start, Manchester united have been forcing the attack against Chelsea and creating chances for themselves.
Is as if, Chelsea are yet to get into the game properly, though Jackson have had some chances but they've not created enough for themselves on like the Manchester united who are on high spirit this first half.

This time Manchester City will definitely have harder times than last season and they saw that after the good performance, they saw from Arsenal and Tottenham. Arsenal was about to lose two points but they didn't and now they are in a good situation also Tottenham was another team we were thinking they could have a bad performance in this season because of losing Kane but they have been amazing so far.
Not surprising to see Manchester City try to improve the team during winter.

Man Utd has just got their account opening goal in the 19th minutes of the game. Since the beginning of the first half,  Man Utd has really dominated in the game and deserves the lead even after missing a penalty kick that would have given them the initial lead. I'm not anticipating much from Chelsea's side because whenever there is game between the United and Chelsea, and even though United is not inform they usually wake up and most times win Chelsea regardless of their form, However, I already bet on Manchester United to win or draw.

Manchester united is misusing their opportunity as Bruno lost the penalty which would have given Manchester united the lead. The game might change soon in favor of Chelsea and if Chelsea make proper use of their opportunity, they might net the post.

Manchester united is missing good opportunity as Chelsea goalkeeper is depriving them from scoring with his brilliant saves. Currently, Manchester united is in possession of the game.

Mc Tominay has finally broken the deadlock on the 19th minutes with a good finish after so many attempt.
