There's a high chance for Ten Hag to get fired this season because of the result they got so far. I'm sure Manchester United doesn't want to lose everything because so far in the Champions League they don't have a good situation at all and there is a chance for Mcashhter United to lose this tournament sooner than they should, also they are in 10th place of the league with the same situation with Chelsea. But still, the Mcnshter United players want to keep this coach and they support Ten Hag.

From reports so far, Bukayo Saka will be a major doubt to play against Manchester City in their English Premier League game this weekend and that's why I think City has derived an advantage and morale booster that'll help them defeat Arsenal in that game. Saka has been very instrumental to Arsenal's good run in the league since the start of the season and without him on the pitch, it'll beore difficult for Arsenal to face a big team like City.
That being said, I'm not gonna write off Arsenal just because Saka might not feature in that game because Arsenal has other players who can as can as well beat City.

Legends from Manchester United wanted the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo so Marcus Rashford could be the face of England. Lucky enough for him, Erik Ten Hag built a squad around Marcus Rashford assisting and supporting him with assist. Now Manchester United has a good nine and they no longer build around Rashford, why is it difficult with dropping him on the bench. Okay I get! Coz he is part of the MBE?  Lol.

They have good midfielder's, the problem with Manchester United has got to be from the owners and then the defenders. Since Lisandro Martinez got Injured, Manchester United defense has never been same. They have to get a good replacement and enforce the sale of Harry Maguire.

I can vividly remember the sound warnings from Van Gaal to Erik Ten Hag about making a move to Manchester United. They're are not ready for the growth of the club but only for them personal reasons. This is the reason why they supported the axe of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United after calling and dragging them out in the interview. Selling the club will settle all these, the glazers are recalcitrant.

We are yet to confirm if Bukayo Saka would be available for the weekend clash against Manchester city, but I feel that him been named in the England squad should give us a hint about his availability. He’s an important player for this Arsenal side and Arteta needs him to be fit against Manchester City. I feel he might feature in the weekend game considering the kind of player he is and how important he is in the team.

Certainly every coach will have their own strategy to make sure they get a win in any game they want to play, especially for a game as this there's certainly going to be a strategy set apart for it so as to be able to secure the full point which is the most important thing at the end of the day, but then in as much as arteta is setting a strategy guardiola will definitely not be left behind aswell too.

But then it's important to know that this is not a game where new strategy should be tried out as that may look like too much of a risk to take for a game as crucial as this which will definitely determine their position for the rest of the week and maybe the nearest future, Arteta should only improve his already know strategy and make small amends where necessary.

Manchester city is most likely to win and that's my prediction as contrary to yours because I feel they have a better team strength and they perform well regardless if they are home or away so they may win or possibly get a draw at least but which ever way they will be at advantage if they can secure a point at least or three points.

Why do you think Arsenal current performance is better than the previous season? In the previous season, they are leading the EPL standings during the first half of the previous season. Meanwhile they are only in the 3rd place in the first half of this season. They already got 2 draws in the 7 early EPL matches this season.

Well, I agree that Man City is still superior, their squad looks a bit better than Arsenal. For the next match, I also still assume that Man City will win the match although it will be in Arsenal home (Emirates stadium). Even if in the last match Man City got a loss, they must have a bigger motivation to win the next match to maintain their position in the 1st place.

It would be a big blow for Arsenal if Saka is unavailable to play against City on Sunday, the match is not a title decider, but the winner is going to make a huge statement and send a message to the rest of the league. It is indeed great to come out on top in big duels like this very early on in the season, it can give the team the momentum they need to go all the way.
Mind you that Rodri was available against RB Leipzig in the CL, but he would be unavailable against Arsenal as that would be the third and final game he'll miss due to suspension. John Stones is also back from injury, i can see him playing in that Rodri role on Sunday, that's if he is fit to play.

Newcastle had a much better performance so far compared to the last season and the other games we saw from this team.
I think they continue this performance, they can even have the chance to race for the premier league title this season with other teams like Arsenal and Manchester City,
The best game we saw from this team so far was against PSG.

It's not been confirmed yet if Bukoya Saka would be fit to play against Manchester City this weekend and alot of Arsenal fans would be hoping the injury sustained against Lens in the UCL match is not very severe and they could see their star player on the pitch against, Arsenal has won Manchester City this season in the community shield game before the EPL started though the game ended in a 1-1 draw and they managed to win through a penalty kick out.

 Arteta would be looking to win his former boss once a against and get a chance to top the league table, but it's not going to come easy even though they're playing with a home advantage due to the fact that City are the league leaders and would  be very careful not to drop a point, they might have lost 2 matches due to the red card booking of Rodri but Pep managed to come up with a strategy that enabled him to perform well and win their UCL match against Leipzig therefore I believe he should be strategising on winning Arsenal currently.

As for tactics, I think they'll still be the same as always, trying to attack and balance each other out like they did last season.
H2H is now clearly in Manchester City's favour because in the last 3 matches Manchester City managed to win 2 times and 1 match ended in a draw, but Arsenal playing home will definitely want to improve and avenge their defeat at last season's meeting.
I personally in this match will still favour Manchester City and will bet for them but indeed another possibility of a draw can also still happen but I'm not too sure Arsenal won 3 points because I think their chances are only a draw even though last week Manchester City lost to Wolves but I still believe Manchester City can improve the results in this match.

While many people blame Erik ten Hag for Manchester United's performance this season for reasons that are appropriate to the circumstances being compared.
Erik ten Hag is a figure who plays a big role in the decision of which players will be played in every Manchester United match and in every competition they play.
Rashford is a player with a high goal productivity rate for the 2022/23 season. He was able to score 17 goals for Manchester United in the Premier League and Rashford was the player who improved the most last season under Erik ten Hag.

I began to realize that Erik ten Hag's assistant's role seemed to be dysfunctional in helping him carry out this season's strategy.
ETH was overwhelmed after Shaw was injured in the left back position. Casemiro and Bruno are not on the same page in midfield. Now, the option played by Erik ten Hag in the left back position is Ambrabat, who is actually a box to box midfielder.

Manchester United's unstable performance this season is based on the storm of injuries that befell their players. If you look at the depth of their squad, Manchester United certainly have a lot of quality players in their team, but their play was really bad at the start of this season. I think Manchester United will have a fate like Chelsea, where it seems quite difficult for these two teams to win because their performance is inconsistent in every match. Football experts say that Manchester United has experienced a decline in their playing patterns this season. Well, this is quite correct because Manchester United only won 3 wins in 7 matches.

---

Chelsea also had the same fate this season where they performed quite poorly because they had difficulty winning at the start of the season. Chelsea only collected 8 points and is far behind the leaders. I predict that the pace of these two teams this season will be tougher for them because other teams are stronger than them, such as Aston Villa and Brighton. Even though this season Chelsea has a lot of quality players who they bought at quite expensive prices, such as Caicedo, their performance is still not as expected.

I don't know how Arteta's tactics is going to be like in this game,It is a game that would really be tough to predict,and considering that Arsenal are at home,they won't want to lose again to Manchester City, especially when they are playing at home infront of the wonderful fans.While Mancity will be playing without two star players, Debruyne and Rodri who is out for injury and red card.Mancity have lost the two games they played without Rodri,and Rodri isn't going to be available for this one.
However, Arsenal are not also complete in their squad,it is yet to be know whether Saka will play or not because of the injury he sustained in the Lens game,He needs to be checked properly before the weekend game.

A very important match for the Gunners to get full points over Manchester City. unfortunately, it won't be easy at all. Although, Arsenal was able to provide fierce resistance to Pep Guardiola's squad. like when they met in the Community Shield, Arsenal was able to keep up with Manchester City's game and even though the victory they achieved came from a penalty shootout. But at least, this capital could be a big motivation for Mikel Arteta's squad. that in fact, Arsenal has a chance to get full points in this week's match. Moreover, the match was held at the Emirates Stadium. although for City, it won't have a big impact. However, with the absence of several of their core players, Arteta should take advantage of the momentum to try to break the dominance that his strongest rivals have always won at the moment.

There is no need to talk about the Premier League trophy for now, because they only need a win against the Cityzen. After all, the Premier League still has a lot of games to play. However, the meeting between the two teams this week will be very crucial for the Gunners. and I'm sure Pep Guardiola will not underestimate Arsenal, which is now managed by his former assistant while Arteta is still with Pep Guardiola. Honestly, I can't wait to watch this fight. Plus, it has a tense effect on Gunners fans. but as an Arsenal supporter, winning or losing is another matter. Most importantly, I enjoyed the game displayed by the two teams that will meet this week.

Player injuries have certainly affected the team's performance, especially if it is the main player. There are many cases where a team loses its best form when one or two of their key players are absent due to injury, remember Liverpool last season?

However, it's not just player injuries that have hit Manchester United, the performance of their key players has dropped significantly compared to last season. Rashford is the player who is increasingly being talked about, but there are several others too. So it's no surprise why Manchester United's performance this season seems poor, there's clearly a reason instead of just blaming Ten Hag.

I understand, for the most part I agree with you, but I stated in my post the fact at the end of the season that things have more or less normalised. Injuries to players are something that the coach can't influence, so it's hard for me to say that in this case injuries don't play a role, they just directly influence it

Newcastle United is the simply the best  fast-growing mediocre team in EPL this season, all this remarkable results originates from the club appointing Eddie Howe as manager, things have kept moving foward for the Magpies, in EPL. They qualify for UCL spot last season and watching them today playing in UCL and thrashing Ligue One giants at St James Park stadium is basically among the memories we won't forget. Newcastle are in the vest form and would be able to face any opponents currently, not having too big names but these players contributed alot more than these necessary big names.

Newcastle performance improvement in their previous six matches in various competitions is quite impressive, I think the wins over Man City and PSG are the most impressive. Of course, this cannot be separated from the depth of Eddie Howe squad this season, Newcastle movements in the last summer market went according to expectations and are now starting to produce results. The next challenge for Newcastle after their success in the UCL is to get points in the EPL, by visiting West Ham headquarters. The Magpies have positive capital in the last six matches, I think this will increase the squad confidence and mentality to overtake West Ham who are currently one level above them.

West Ham lost the statistical number of wins to Newcastle, but most recently West Ham managed to win over Freiburg in the Europa League group stage. However, Newcastle victory in the UCL is certainly more meaningful, so Newcatle deserves to be favored even though West Ham acts as host. Regarding the starting XI, Eddi Howe doesn't seem to have changed much and is predicted to play the same squad when they won over PSG yesterday.

you are right If Arsenal want to be Premier League champions  then they must get 3 points against manchester city . Because arsenal's biggest rival for the  title is Manchester City. And I'd say one of these two teams will win the Premier League title this season.

This is Arsenal's home match. If they fail to  pick up 3 points against City at home, they will fall further behind Manchester City in the title race. Arsenal are still 1 point behind Manchester City. So a win in this match will see Arsenal occupy the top spot in the table. I am quite optimistic that Arsenal will do well against Manchester City.

Although this season Arsenal actually has a better performance than last season. But I also think that Man City will still be superior in this match too. Arsenal always have difficulty when facing Man City. And I think maybe this time it will be the same. And the mentality of the Man City players is very strong. Both home and away matches, Man City always performs with maximum performance. So favoring Man City is my choice this time too. I don't remember last season who was the favorite when these two clubs met. But what is certain is that last year I was disappointed with Arsenal who lost quite easily. Man City at that time actually beat Arsenal very comfortably. But this time Arteta must have thought of a different strategy. But still I can't believe it.
