Arsenal players are under a lot of pressure at the moment. Arsenal have dropped points in their last two matches. Unexpectedly lost against Bournemouth. And because of this, Arsenal is 5 points behind Manchester City. The competition in the Premier League is fierce. It is much more difficult to close a 5 point gap in the Premier League. Because the performances of Manchester City and Liverpool are quite consistent.

Arsenal's opponent in today's match is Newcastle. Newcastle players are not in form at the moment. We haven't seen Newcastle win in the last 5 matches. Newcastle have lost three of their last five matches. And Newcastle is in the 12th position of the points table. So Arsenal's players will win if they perform somewhat consistently.

You are right mate, there are a lot of good coaches out there that will be able to work on the team and transform it to a high level of performance, that should have been an option instead of giving Ten Hag a long time before sacking him. Ruud van Nistelrooy will put in the best he can in order for him to improve the team performance and manage the players properly with the skills in him, because if he wants to sell himself out to the world that they can rely on him as a good coach in future. I hope to see more positive results in Manchester United upcoming matches.

The following games below are my picks for the week which I comfortably feel that there is a higher chances of seeing both teams to score based on various teams past results. Leicester is one of the team that has been scoring goals in every their matches consecutively since the beginning of the season, this is round 10 and they are meeting Ipswich which looks more pretty like a both teams to score.


1. Newcastle versus Arsenal

2. Ipswich versus Leicester City

3. Liverpool versus Brighton

4. Nottingham Forest versus West Ham United

5. Southampton versus Everton

Even though nothing is guarantee, what are your stand on my predictions above?

The match between Newcastle and Arsenal will be played today and obviously the greater burden is on Arsenal at the moment, after the defeat against Bournemouth and the draw with Liverpool in the previous match, then Arsenal must be able to get full 3 points in the match against Newcastle later, to be honest, I think the match is not easy and Newcastle erratic performance will of course be difficult to predict, sometimes Newcastle play quite well and are able to trouble other teams, but on the other hand they often play very poorly and become easy opponents for other teams, So it is difficult for us to see that the match will be easy for Arsenal to win.

To me I believe the champions league game or winning the champions league is the last thing they are thinking of at the moment, I mean the Gunners. Winning Newcastle today is all they need and if it happens I think today's win will motivate them to go against Inter Milan. I don't really look at odds to say a team is going to win or are the favorite, sometimes the performance of both teams can make me say who's favorite to win a game so this encounter between Arsenal and Newcastle I think the Gunners are the favorite like I said on my previous post, they play much better than Newcastle but Newcastle have less engagement than Arsenal this very season so the Newcastle side are a bit less busy than the Gunners.

You think Newcastle will make today match tough for Arsenal like the way they face tough match with Liverpool? No, Arsenal will take victory from Newcastle home because they will add more effort in this match to make their fans rejoice for the victory they are going to achieve. I have watched many Chelsea matches in this season, I don't think they have the capacity to make match tough for Arsenal because Chelsea is not well organize like Arsenal in this premier league, but for the UEFA champion league, Inter Milan will defeat Arsenal 2:0 because they have everything a strong team have to withstand Arsenal.

I have the same thoughts. Arsenal is facing tough weeks, where they had to fight with Liverpool last week, and now they have to play against Newcastle and they also have to play against Inter Milan in the Champions League and Chelsea in the next Premier League match next week. Arsenal may be targeting wins in all of those games, but on the one hand, they clearly have to rotate the squad because it might be the best option when dealing with the tight schedule. If their only focus is the game against Newcastle then I would bet on them.

Whenever a club sacks a coach, their plan is to find improvements with a new coach but it's plan and hope. Reality with a new coach can be different, and Manchester United understand this difference very well with their own experience. After Sir Alex Ferguson, many coaches hired and fired, and they have yet improved their club competitiveness against other big clubs in Premier League and around Europe.

They want to have better performances and brighter future with Ruben who will have his first season in Premier League. There are many challenges for Ruben, first Manchester United is a big club with lot of expectation and pressure on his shoulder, second adapt to a new league is never easy. He is a very young coach and will be another young coach from Portugal joining Premier League, after two biggest coaches previously Jose Mourinho and André Villas-Boas, one succeeded and another one failed.

Arsenal have a Champions League game coming up against Inter... Of course they are favourites to win today, but the odds on them winning more than 2 are very high.... I wouldn't bet on this match, especially as Newcastle are not the easiest opponent for Arsenal... I hope it will be an interesting battle...
Liverpool and Brighton is an interesting match too... No-one wants to give away points for nothing... I think there will be a lot of goals here...

Manchester United is likely to improve under new management. Ruud van Nistelrooy had an impressive performance against Leicester City, where Manchester United got all three points. This result suggests that the players are not the problem but the former manager was. The players are talented and of high quality. A major overhaul may not be necessary, they should instead buy more players in key positions to strengthen the squad. I am confident that a new manager can make United better than it was under Erik Ten Hag.

I some how agree with you that both teams are not going to  find it easy on each other but if it will be on who to get a win I believe the Gunners are the favorite, with all these injury crisis that have befallen Arsenal I doubt if they can be seen as the favorite (I mean without the injuries) if not that then they are good to go. Missing Gabriel who had an injury in the encounter against Liverpool is worrisome because you can't be without 2 of your best center back not playing together talking about Gabriel and Saliba but I'm happy to have Saliba back, as least the defense will be a bit solid.
This game is more important than that of Liverpool to me, because if you check how the Gunners have lost points they should be taking this game too serious like they're playing the champions league final. But without some important players for the Gunners I wonder what they're going to do or manage against a team like Newcastle that only have it in mind to spoil the party for teams in the top 4.

Bournemouth's performance in the last two matches has surprised us all. None of us could have imagined that Arsenal would lose, especially against Bournemouth. Arsenal were in very good form. However, they lost 2–0 against Bournemouth. Bournemouth were a bit lucky, with their overall performance quite good. If William Saliba had not received the red card in the match against Arsenal, Bournemouth might not have won this match. Bournemouth performed well it's true, but they were lucky. Bournemouth also performed well against Aston Villa.

But Guardiola is a very experienced coach. After a long time Manchester City have occupied the top spot in the table. Manchester City will certainly not want to lose the top spot. So Manchester City will play with the aim of winning against Bournemouth by a big margin. I am keen to bet on City to win.

It's because Saliba made a stupid mistake which resulting him got red card, so Bournemouth take advantage over that. While draw against Aston Villa was just a fluke, they scored in the injury time.

Pep rotate some of the players and also rotate the position, two young kids in attacking midfield, while Gundongan is playing in defensive midfield position. But, we have nothing to worry in the upcoming match, Pep will use the current best lineup, I'm sure they will beat Bournemouth.

I think so, especially on Arsenal when bookies offer attractive odds @2.00 what should not be normal odds for Arsenal this means that they think Arsenal will save several main players for more important matches in the Champions League. The same thing with Manchester City although playing away they should be more favored but maybe the coach will consider the same thing as Arsenal, but yeah we have to pay attention to the lineup before the match starts including players on the bench and certainly these teams don't want to lose points in the league.

On the other hand on Liverpool I was a little confident in them because they play at home and also in the Champions League they played at home so they have advantages and have many options. In addition, Liverpool also won in 3 UCL matches which means they are safe enough although still having 5 matches, 9 points can be relied on to get a ticket to the next round so in my opinion Liverpool will play more relaxed.

The English Premier League is entering its 10th week and will present an interesting and most awaited match, Man United will face Chelsea at Old Trafford Stadium. The reason is that both teams want to steal points in this match to improve their position in the standings. Man United under the guidance of Ruud van Nistelrooy is back on the winning track, on the other hand Chelsea certainly wants to continue their winning trend in the EPL and they also want to maintain their position in the top five of the standings.

After Ten Hag was fired, Man United won big in the previous match and Man United is now handled by interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. In the match against Chelsea, of course he wants to prove that Man United will return to the winning track after losing to West Ham in the previous week. So even though he doesn't need to prove anything because he will only coach two more matches before Man United's coach is filled by Ruben Amorim, Ruud van Nistelrooy of course with this little opportunity wants to prove that he is still needed to enter Ruben Amorim's coaching system later.

It is interesting to talk about Ruben Amorim because he is a very potential coach, only at Man United the pressure is greater than at Sporting. So if he wants to be successful with Man United he must be able to make Man United players obey him, no Man United player feels superior and Man United management does not intervene excessively with the team. That way he will be free to train Man United with all his abilities.

Bournemouth have produced two surprising results in their last 2 matches as they had beaten Arsenal in front of their home fans and also forced a draw upon Aston Villa while playing away from home. It will not be an easy match for Manchester City today when they play against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium as they are also missing a number of key players including Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish but I think Pep Guardiola will still have a solution to bring his team towards a victory against Bournemouth today.

If talking about meeting statistics certainly Manchester City is much better than Bournemouth this because in the last 15 meetings Manchester City always win from Bournemouth but recently Manchester City has facing unsatisfactory condition because some of their players will potentially absense and the players such as Rodri, Kevin de Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish, Savinho, Josko Gvardiol, and Manuel Akanji will be doubted to play even Guardiola has been confirmed these situation that Manchester City has crisis of players

I think these problem also causes why Manchester City only win with narrow score 1-0 from Southampton and they lost from Tottenham at Carabao Cup and for the match against Bournemouth Guardiola has been thinking to used some of Manchester City reserved players and after seeing these condition i will looking forward to see whether Manchester City can able to beat Bournemouth or they will slipped in this match

Do you think E. Maresca would just fold his arms and watch the Manchester team dominate his boys?. Of course not, the pattern of play changed for the United boys and as such there is expected that there would be a good counter tactics from the blues. It's still very early to compare Manchester United performance to best Chelsea, although I know that meetings between the two clubs are always a battle regardless of their forms.

But let's not rush... 90 minutes would definitely decide whether it's the tactics of V. Nistelrooy or that of E.Maresca that would be prevalent.

• Bournemouth vs Manchester City (BTTS)
• Liverpool vs Brighton (BTTS)
• Newcastle vs Arsenal (under 2.25)
• Nottingham vs West Ham (Nottingham win)
• Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace(Wolverhampton win)
• Ipswich Town vs Leicester (Leicester win)
• Southampton vs Everton (Everton win)

7 matches and there are 3 top team matches and in my opinion choosing to bet on one team's victory will be a big risk. I don't doubt the top teams like Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal but after this match the three teams must appear in the UCL and of course the coaches will maintain the players' physical condition so they can perform optimally in the UCL. So I am sure that between the 3 matches there will definitely be a surprise.

And in the other matches I speculate to bet on getting big odds.
What are your predictions regarding these 7 matches?

No doubt, inconsistency become the habit performance of Manchester United in this season although have big winning over Leicester City at EFL Cup can't guarantee will take three points when facing Chelsea in Premier League match.
Last match in premier league, Manchester United defeated by West Ham United and make Erik ten Hag sack from his position, opportunity for the interim manager Ruud Van Nisterlrooy still become Manchester United manager until three matches later before international break to show his capacity bring United back to the winning trend.

Manchester United have remaining many points left from the top standings team and its the new era begin after sacking Erik ten Hag get three points every match to make position keep close reach the big four standings or get in the race for winning premier league trophy in this season.
