First goal for Foden from Walker cut back was a really good team worked goal. There will be more players in Manchester City that will score in the second half. Doku, Alvarez are yet to score, and if they are not replaced in the second half they will score or create another chance for goal. If Nottingham forest manages to score one, maybe they will be able to score another to draw this game. It is very far from happening, but it can happen now especially with Rodri now sent off from the game with a red card due to violent conduct.

The start of the second half was a bit of a disaster because 1 minute into the second half Rodri got a red card and of course this slightly reduced the intensity for sure for Manchester City.
But on the other hand with a 2-goal advantage at the moment I am not too doubtful about them and surely 3 points they will still get in this match even if they play with 10 players, it's just that surely in this case Pep will try to change some schemes and will slightly hold back the intensity of the attack unlike in the first half because still losing Rodri this will be a little disturbing if they try to go all out in the attack carried out.

Manchester City is off to another fast start. Foden and Haaland put them ahead early on. There's nothing Nottingham Forest can do now. They will defend whenever possible and try not to concede more goals. But as long as Manchester City play like this, more goals are likely. Nottingham Forest started with a fairly defensive line-up but they didn't show any resistance as they conceded early goals.
Now things may be different as Rodri was shown a red card just the start of the second half. I still don't think Nottingham Forest to try to score but Manchester City may be more defensive now. If you bet on over 4-5 goals it might be difficult to reach.

The first half has finished and Manchester City is two goals ahead of Nottingham Forest, meaning that in this match it is very clear who will win even though Nottingham Forest still has time to equalize. But I'm not sure about Nottingham Forest's abilities and I even think there will be another goal for Manchester City in the second half. Because so far Manchester City is still quite good and consistent in winning matches in the Premier League.

Even in last few matches, they have done good job but still there is no competition between these two teams, and we already have 2 early goals but after conceding two goals now Nottingham is doing good job and their defence is trying to have not good number of goals against them in this match.

Now as we are in half-time of this match, score is still 2 - 0 with 30 minutes good time for the Nottingham as they are able to stop Citizens for having more goals against them specially they are doing good job to stop Haaland from having enough space.

In two other matches, we are having nothing with all four teams are struggling for scoring goals and result is 0 - 0 even Wolves is playing with ten men against Luton.

Nottingham Forest is too weak a team for Manchester City. It looks like Manchester City will win by a large margin at the Etihad Stadium. Two goals occurred within 7 minutes with a very neat goal process. This confirms that Man City will get an easy win at the Etihad Stadium. Foden's goal and Haaland's goal really impressed me. In my opinion, both goals were goals with extraordinary technique.
Manchester City almost added a goal in the 26th minute through Alvarez's kick.
A free kick is awarded to Manchester City now in the arena so close to the goalkeeper's line. Unfortunately, Alvarez didn't manage to do it well.
It's been 43 minutes of the game.

The match had only lasted 14 minutes but Nottingham was already 2-0 behind Manchester City. Of course, this is a good sign for Manchester City because it is likely that they will maintain their winning trend again for the match week 6.

Nottingham was really under a lot of pressure as far as the first half went. They weren't really able to build attacks well other than just taking advantage of counter attacks, but they need to develop their game if they don't want to lose badly to Manchester City. Maybe there will be 4 to 5 goals scored in this match by Manchester City because they really dominate this match with their good play.

Now Foden have scored in 7th minutes

For sure Manchester City will win, they have a good start and Nottingham Forrest's players are getting pressured. Manchester City is completely controlling the ball, Nottingham Forrest's ball possession is currently 1% lol.

An easy match for Manchester City, no need to watch it.

I wonder what Chelsea will show in their week 6 match. They've been disappointing so far and I don't see any changes that will take them to the next level. Aston Villa did get 2 defeats, but overall their game is better than Chelsea. I doubt that Chelsea will be able to secure full points in this match, even so I will also not close their chances of being able to achieve good results. I hope they will be able to get up and be better in this match. The players they have brought in so far have also not been satisfying, by spending fantastic pockets but their purchases are like a waste that does not have a positive impact.

let's be realistic regarding these two goalkeepers. I don't think anyone doubts De Gea's ability to guard United's goal, even though his performance declined last season. now, the goalkeeper has been replaced by Onana. as we saw several times in the Premier League, especially in the Champions League yesterday, Onana made a blunder. However, it is also important to see that Onana often does his job of saving the goal quite well. It doesn't seem fair if we measure this goalkeeper in a short time.
Moreover, the League is not yet halfway through the season. Plus, United's back line players underperformed despite the injuries to the main players.

Suppose, United is still fronted by De Gea. that means, the situation is no better than before. The reason is, De Gea is more concerned with securing United's goal. but he did not contribute or help build the attack that started from him. In contrast, Onana is a modern goalkeeper who was involved when United started to build attacks. Onana's only weakness is from shots that aim upwards, it is not uncommon for Onana to always have difficulty in saving because his range is not like de Gea. But for De Gea, this is his specialty. So clearly, these two goalkeepers have different characteristics. IMO, if the problems in the United camp had been resolved including the return of injured players. Gradually, they will return to their best performance.

Finally someone who clearly says that ten Hag is not doing the club any good. I am not so much referring to his quality as a manger in terms of training methods. But I think he lacks communication skills and also isn't very good at building a cohesive team, a team that is willing to work and suffer for each other. It didn't take ten Hag very long before he was seeking confrontation with Ronaldo publicly. He isn't fostering joint effort and team cohesion, he is going to prefer dispute over diplomacy all the time. While I understand that sometimes a manager has to demonstrate strength, in my opinion ten Hag is taking it too far.

Me too but i may skip it if MU keeps repeat the same performance like the previous game. Manchester united is being favorable in this match against burnley but the thing that makes me doubt is about how inconsistent manchester united is right now.
Manchester United's defenders are performing poorly and it's currently the club's main weakness. We need to be aware of this. I took manchester united to win this game but i kinda feel if this is going to be a hard game for manchester united.

The inconsistency owned by the defenders of manchester united has made it will always so hard to win the game even against mediocre club. I hope united defenders will not repeat the same shit this time.
It's unacceptable for the fans right now to see manchester united to lose points once it was facing easy match against one of weak club in EPL.

This is the match in which host Burnley did not have the services of Ekdal, Obafemi, and Churlinov due to injury. Burnley is a small team and does not have a big name. Of course, they are also at a much lower level than Manchester United.
Manchester United have lost their last 3 matches in all competitions, and they need a victory against Burnley to dispel the gloomy atmosphere that surrounds Old Trafford. Ten Hag is showing signs of wobble and only needs one more loss against Burnley. If the team fails, Ten Hag should plan to find a new destination. But I believe he and his students will be determined to win this match.

Since this match will be held at Manchester City's ground, the team will get a lot of advantage and the performance of Manchester City team is much ahead of the opposition team, so it can be understood that Manchester City is likely to win this match by a big margin.

United are bad and I'd like them to lose (although I'm a United fan and I want the club to get rid of Ten Hag) but today the likelihood of that is extremely low - Burnley are just terrible. They have just one point and although they average one goal per game, they concede as many as three goals. Perhaps a defeat to Burnley would have led to Ten Hag being sacked today, but I still think the game will end with a score of 1-3 or 0-2 in United's favor.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest This match will be played at Manchester City's home ground so they will have plenty of attacking power today. And today's match will be Manchester City, Forest will win comfortably, no doubt, Manchester City will play great in today's match. So far Manchester City has won all the matches played in the EPL. Manchester City is the champion team of last season and in this new season they are performing as well as before which is why they are at the top of the points table. However, Manchester City is the strongest team this season, Manchester City course pep Guardiola has selected good players and they have played well in every match for that. Man City will easily win the match today, according to today's betting tips, City has the best chance to win the match.

Regarding Manchester United choice not to renew David De Gea's contract and the necessity for a more thorough evaluation of their team performance, you make a good point. It is true that Onana cannot be held totally responsible for goals conceded when up against a powerful foe with a superior assault. The players, coaching staff, and officials should all share accountability for the team performance. It may be necessary to bolster Manchester United's defence, and it's important to avoid focusing on a single player when discussing the team deficiencies. Football is a team sport, so overcoming flaws as a team should be the top concern.

Burnley are in the relegation zone and they've not won and matches they've played so far and have got just one point, so I don't expect them to win against a team like Manchester United that finish third position in the League last season and to think of it Burnley just got promoted from the Championship league this season to the EPL and they don't have a good squad with quality player that could cause havoc to Manchester United.

 United on the other hand have had a poor start so far and are 13th on the table which has caused lots of fans to panic and complain about Erik Ten Hag tactics, but I think they'll win against Burnley, they might not be performing well currently but this match could take them back to winning ways as expected by he fans.

Not really bad, I'd say Burnley performance is pretty much similar like Manchester United because both of the teams can still give a fight despite they lose the match. Since this match happen in Burnley's home and the odds is high, I will bet Burnley to win.

I hope Manchester United will continue their lose streaks lol.

It looks like they can already forget about trophies, after 5 rounds they are 9 points behind City, and although this is only the beginning of the season, I see no reason why anything should change for Manchester United in the near future. Manchester United should beat Burnley today, but I'm not sure about Ten Hag's team, their defense is too bad. Manchester United spent a lot of effort in the match with Bayern, and Burnley rested at this time and prepared for the match, this could also affect the result today. Of course ten Hag will want to win today, because so far the results of his work look too dubious.
