I wanted to ask what's happening to Man City? Things are not right with them and it takes the best team to win them because they're not really in form and we know how Southampton are this season, givers of points and Manchester City are suppose to trash them just like they did in the champions league, I can't relate with what you said because I don't think is because of heavy fixtures of the season that's why City are doing poorly. Southampton are the weakest team in the EPL and with how Manchester City have been dominating teams over the years they're suppose to score at least two goals if not more than, so to me I feel the club is not ok and they are struggling.

I was shocked when I checked and see that Brentford losing to Ipswich in the beginning of the game because I know that Brentford is the favorite to win the match especially as they are playing at home, but they made it at the end because they leveled up before the end of the first half and complete the comeback in the second half.
Ipswich will surely be relegated this season because they are yet to win a single match, they are still finding it difficult to adapt to Premier League style of play; I wish they can get back better to start winning matches so as to leave the relegation zone, but if they keep playing this way, they will surely be relegated.

The game ended 1-0. Southampton didn’t allow them to add more goals in the game, they are very difficult to defeat, Haaland was very lucky to have taken the lead for Manchester City early, else they could have shared points with them today.

Well, maybe I was lucky not to bet on Manchester City, because before that I also still had work or other activities that I had to finish quickly. Because anyway, considering Manchester City are playing at home against Southampton who are at the bottom of the table without having a win so far this season. So with that factor, it is very possible for me if for example I bet then I will choose asian handicap Manchester City -1.5 or maybe-2.5 but anyway, the final result in the match between Manchester City v Southampton is only with a thin score of 1-0.

Although Haaland managed to make a quick goal in the first half, but it also did not make Manchester City to continue to make more goals. Although I did not bet on this match, but at least I might also be quite disappointed with this result because at least, Manchester City can maximize this match to win with a large score.

I don't think we should be too happy so early in the season. The season have just started and only 8 matches have been played. So that is still a very long way to go in this season. Of course, the start has been changeable, but what is going to matter is the consistency. If Liverpool is able to be consistent, there is a very good chance that they will be in serious contention for the title till the end of the season. Eight matches played and seven wins out of them is definitely a great start for Liverpool. They have been able to win against teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, even though I am not sure if Chelsea and Manchester United count as big teams right now. Like Arne Slot, I also wanna say the next big challenge is going to come for them in the next match against the Gunners. My bet obviously will go for LFC, although a nail-beating fight is warming for tomorrow.

It was another comfortable win for Manchester City, but I was already thinking that many goals would come in the match, not only the one goal that Haaland scored in the early 5 minutes of the match. I was expecting more than 2 goals in the match because Manchester City is playing at home, while Southampton is the visiting team. Anyway, it's a 3 points win to say, as they top the premier league table currently waiting for Liverpool to draw or lose to Arsenal

Something weird happened in Chelsea and Enzo Maresca started complaining about his player Reece James. Reece James was one of the old palyers in this team and he is playing there for a long time. But it seems his performance was not good enough recently and Reece James was not at the same level they were expecting to see.
Maresca said they need better leadership in the game and this means Maresca believes, is not a good leader for Chelsea.
Maybe even Maresca will use another captain in the next games.

Indeed it was an unexpected result. Of all the games played today, Manchester City - Southampton was one I was expecting a lot of goals. It could have been if Southampton had not parked the bus. It wasn’t an easy game for Manchester City, they are still missing their key players but I don’t think that should matter against one of the weakest teams in the league. Congratulations to City for getting all three points. Although it would have been fun if City had destroyed Southampton as expected.

Manchester City play well, but many people expect them to score more goals on the pitch, but unfortunately, they end the game with a one-goal difference, Southampton defend well, and that is why Guadiola doesn't achieve many goals in the Etihad today, but the fact that they achieved three points is a good thing for Guadiola, let's see what Liverpool will play against Arsenal tomorrow, and the game will be very tough, and Liverpool will be the favorite to win because Arteta are facing problems, is players are injured and we don't know when they will come back, Manchester City is topping the league table now and Liverpool won't like to lose there next match.

I believe Liverpool's coach he as been doing well since the beginning of the season, and I will support Liverpool to win the game tomorrow because even if Arsenal tops the league table again, I am confident they will drop to first place because every season, whenever they are in form, they will undoubtedly drop. in my opinion, Arteta cannot win the Premier League for Arsenal. Because he has been strong and then failed to win the league title for the past three seasons, but now that Liverpool is performing well and I feel they will push Manchester City this season, we will see what happens in the league.

Anybody that has actually saw this game as a surprise might have not been a watching Ipswich this season, Ipswich is that one team that I feel they will score against any team this season and they have proven that, they have Delap in such a great form that they use him very well, attacking wise they are very coordinated and that’s why they have many goals than even some top clubs. What has let them down most of the season is the lack of a proper defense which is why they ship in many goals and lose at the end. Today Brentford just got simply lucky and again Ipswich finds them selves at a position where they wish they should be rewarded with a point. Seriously they have majorly been let down too many by the league poor referring.


City have actually been struggling to create chances this season something I will say has to do with both Rodri and mainly Kelvin De Bruyne who are out of that midfield, so this season it seems like Pep is actually retaining possession more to actually avoid conceding unnecessary goals and that’s what the tactics has been all about

Brentford's game against Ipswich was full of surprises. I didn't expect them to struggle so much just to beat Ipswich, and my prediction was wrong. It was a fierce battle! I'm glad they won, 4-3, against Ipswich. The last goal shouldn't have counted, but it went in. So, they got the points.

They're attacking Ipswich well, but their defense is still an issue. It has cost them a lot. And i gotta admire Wissa’s mentality. He deserved to be MOTM.

City was playing safely by still trying to dominate the ball possession and keep the lead till the end of the game. And they're getting three points. This is like what i have expected if they're gonna struggle to beat Southampton even in their home game. So, they played carefully after they scored a goal, and took the lead. A boring game.

An eventual victory for Manchester City taking all three points in a 1:0 result. Little did I expected that Manchester city will struggle that much to cart away the three points today from a Southampton side just coming from  relegation. All efforts made to get a consecutive goal after that early goal from Erling Haaland proved abortive by the Southampton defense and the goalie too made some brilliant saves there. A pity it was that Cameron Archer the Southampton  forward couldn't utilize the closest goal opportunity he had in the late first half to level the score which probably might have ended this game to a 1:1 draw.

Many people expected Manchester City to beat Southampton in a different score today, but I expected a narrow win because I thought there would be rotation due to the heavy fixtures and players wouldn't play at 100% and that's what happened. Haaland scored early in the game and it was enough for City to get 3 points. Nunes and Haaland are in great form at the moment. There doesn't seem to be a team that can stop this City team. Arsenal and Liverpool are playing each other, which means at least one of them will be behind.

In the first match in the early minutes of the game that Manchester City usually does not appear, but with the opportunity they can take advantage of it well with Hallan who maximizes the opportunity to become the first goal scored in the fourth minute of the first half, The course of the Manchester City and Southampton match is quite interesting and I see Manchester City's game starting to be seen in the twelfth minute, occasionally Southampton builds an attack but they are not very good at maximizing it, also with the opportunities they get which are offside almost become a goal because they only hit the crossbar from Ederson.
With the second half going well, Previously I thought Manchester City would be able to win by more than one goal but it turned out that Southampton's defense was quite good, also with several opportunities that Manchester City had did not become goals and the score of 1-0 lasted until the end of the match.

If you watch the recap of the game you will actually see that I was right about my pre-game comment. If Haaland didn't mess up he would make a hattrick in the 55th minute comfortably. Even though he scored at the beginning of the game, he couldn't make use of many goal opportunities. I was expecting Manchester City to win by a bigger goal gap.

An endless effort put in by Manchester city to score their second goal, but Southampton have denied them all their attempt, making it more frustrating for Pep Guardiola and his men. I can't believe that more than six goal opportunities, none was able to pass through Southampton defense into the back post, because they have locked their defense and threw away the key. On the other hand, Southampton is also struggling for an equalizer and if care is not taken, they might get an equalizer before the end of the match, if City fails to bang their net the second time. Manchester City thought it would be an easy win but they are wrong.

In a coaching capacity it may be true that Arteta understands the condition of his team much better because he has been at Arsenal for several seasons so he understands the conditions better. While Arne Slot still needs some improvements as Liverpool coach because he is new here. But this is not a reference if you look at the results of several matches between the two teams and maybe we will see the ability of each coach in seeing a more precise strategy.

Although the match will take place at the Emirates Stadium I am more confident in Liverpool in the match. The scenario that could happen is that the match will end in a draw because Liverpool will certainly play a little more carefully so as not to lose full points.

Brentford has played a brilliant game this afternoon coming from 2 goals down and quickly went on to lead the game by the 51st minute thanks to that early penalty in the second half scored by Mbeumo..which is a good lesson to all that never give up untill it's game over.

Elsewhere, Manchester City made to push on in trying to get a second goal as Southampton as contained them from getting that assurance goal..but City being City I foresee that goal to come.

This upcoming match between this two team Manchester United and west Ham seriously i don't think there match will be that interesting to watch, because both team  are not that strong in terms of performances the only better that Manchester United done do this season is when they faced Brentford and able to won they them 2-1 that's only win for the all the season.

Furthermore, even this there upcoming match against the West Ham I have hope for the west Ham that they will win Manchester United upon say both the team performances always look the same, but with that West Ham is far better than Mn U, with the kind pattern of the match their playing this season: There's not any improvement in their performances.

Nottinghamshire Forest is having one of their best season for the last couple of decades. They merely saved themselves from relegation last year and now with a much more balanced team, they are doing wonders. Defeated Leicester 3-1 in the home ground of Leicester.
On another match between Aston Villa and Bournemouth, I had expected a multi goal dominant from Aston Villa. They are dominating the game but has failed to score any goals till the 71st minutes. I believe they'll have a winning goal within 90 minutes.
Manchester City had an early success with Haalands 5th minute goal against Southampton. They are still aggressively attacking so I believe it would be another comfortable win for City.

In premier league matches, Liverpool always success securing three away points and seems not really advantage for Arsenal although as their home match when facing Liverpool. In this season, Liverpool won all away matches and have chance to make Arsenal as the next teams for securing three points how to make comfortable on the top position standings.
I don't think difficult for predicting behidn inconsistent performance of Arsenal, after defeating by Southampton last match and seems difficult for Arsenal how recovery to winning trend in domestic league although have won in Champion League after defeating Donesk.

In my opinion, Liverpool with consistent performance since defeated by Nottingham Forest looks not difficult for defeating Arsenal and have possibility for winning above one or two goals.
