Liverpool 0-1 United.

We did not see any goals in the first half. However, from the beginning of the second half, both teams increased their attack speed. And to everyone's surprise, Manchester United scored the first goal of the match. In the 52nd minute, Lisandro Martinez's goal gave Manchester United the lead. However, Liverpool equalized in just 7 minutes. Cody Gakpo's goal equalized the match. Both teams are still attacking. Both teams are trying to score goals. However, I would say that Manchester United's players are performing better than we expected. We thought that we would only see Liverpool's dominance in the match. But that is not happening.
In the first half there was a terrible rain and from the outside it seemed that the game could be stopped, because it is very difficult to create chances on such a flooded field and it is clear that the players spent a lot of effort just not to concede, but when the rain passed the game intensified and United were able to open the scoring, and Gakpo then equalized.

Now Darwin Nunez came on the pitch and I think it is not the best substitution, because recently he almost stopped scoring and usually his appearance on the pitch weakens Liverpool.

Gaurdiolla still has work to do. Maybe the transfer window will sharpen the team further than keep them on track for the competitions they have at hand. For now I still see city as a struggling team this season until they are able to prove otherwise.

There are many rumors related to Man City Transfer. Guardiola wants Sunderland goalkeeper, then Dani Olmo who cannot be included in Barcelona's official roster, Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marsmoush and most importantly to strengthen Manchester City's midfield is Atalanta midfielder Ederson. It seems that Pep will spend a lot to improve the team's strength for the second half. Because I'm sure Man City's owners don't seem to be stingy about spending money. But Man City seem to have to be careful so that they do not violate the FFP.

Although this news might be a rumor, considering Manchester City's current mixed performances in the EPL am sure Guardiola can be this ambitious to sign all these players and more if they are available to ensure that Manchester City get back to winning at all costs. Potential targets like Dani olmo who is currently having a fine form at Barcelona this season and Ederson who’s known for his commanding presence in the midfield, these additions would significantly strengthen their squad.

What a goal from Martinez as he broke the deadlock on the 52nd minutes with a brilliant finish to put Manchester United on the lead. United started the second half with pressure on Liverpool defense which led to a goal.

Liverpool will not take this match lightly anymore, because they need to fight and equalize the goal or if possible win the match so that they don't drop points. Will United be able to do more wonders in this match and score more goals. Let's hope so.

Liverpool 0-1 United.
I've already said that winning the game at Anfield isn't essentially mission impossible, but the game isn't over yet and things are still to change. The 0-1 lead didn't last long because Gakpo finally managed to equalize the score at 1-1. Gakpo was not in an offside position and the goal was approved after a VAR review.

I'm basically very happy with Manchester United's performance today because I think they really did as expected. The team tried to find opportunities to score goals and they did, it's just that Liverpool were really hard to stop as they tried non-stop.

The most interesting game we are looking forward to tonight is the Liverpool Vs Manchester United match. Liverpool no doubt has been superb with their performance this season beating every team that comes their way in their campaign to winning the EPL trophy this season. On the other hand Manchester United haven't been impressive with their performance as they have been very much inconsistent in the EPL this season so am not expecting any shocking result from Amorim side. I pretty much don't see them having a chance in winning Liverpool, but if they could get a draw here then it's a huge result for them considering how poor they have been recently.
Liverpool vs Manchester United match is one that many people are looking forward to. Liverpool has been playing very well this season beating almost every team they have faced. On the other hand Manchester United has been inconsistent and has not played well. It is unlikely they will beat Liverpool but if they can get tie that would be big accomplishment. It will be interesting to see how Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag plans to play against Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp.
Its 2024/2025 season man and non of those coaches are currently coaching either of the clubs you just mentioned. Its 15 minutes on the clock already I'm kinda impressed with Manchester United's performance so far, i thought they were going to be parking the bus as usual against Liverpool but they are coming out to play football which is impressive to watch. Both teams attacking each other at intervals.
What a missed chance from Gakpo, lets see what the remaining minutes holds.
It was what I couldn't understand finding it that he was mentioning Erik ten Hag and Jürgen Klopp at this time, obviously he isn't following the football events as they unfold. Grin

To the game tonight, it's first half gone already with a goalless draw, so disappointing for some us who had thought that Liverpool would have been leading by now with at least a lone goal considering the poor form of their opponent Manchester United. With this I just have to give it to United for been able to hold Liverpool to a draw for the first 45 minutes played because In this game Manchester United have looked so better with  the play unlike how they played in their last game against Newcastle united. Am looking forward to seeing what the second half ha got to offer.
Its obvious he isn't actually following football trends, same as you, i didn't think United was going to hold Liverpool for that long but its football man. Manchester United up a goal up by Martinez and 6 minutes later Gakpo equalized to make it 1-1  and its minute 62 on the clock, more fun and surprises to unfold.

Fulham vs Ipswich, that was a very good save from Christian Walton the Ipswich goalkeeper. Both teams seem to be cautious of each other, as the ball from both teams are mostly played within the midfield area and few touches within the 18 yard box. As a result of this the first shot on target came in the 20th minute from Fulham. Its still a dicey game and both teams a weary of each other.

This match is being played with a lot of interest in which the players of Ipswich town have scored a goal in the 38th minute by Szmodics and a goal at this point in the first half could lead to a defeat for Fulham.If Fulham don't score in a while then I can imagine that they can lose this match. They have one chance not to lose which is to score a goal and draw the match but to do so is to make their record worse as they already have many draws in their record. So Fulham should win this match. A goal from an Ipswich player is a match win as Fulham have yet to score and can win by one goal.

Manchester City is leading its home game with a 2-0 lead over West Ham in the first half. This is a match they are most likely to win if Manchester City perform like they did in the second half, something that supports it is that West Ham did not make many dangerous attacks throughout the first half. I'm sure Manchester City will secure a win at home, that would be good.
Manchester City did actually played an interesting game today against West Ham, as the game have just ended in favour of Manchester City with 4 goals to 1 against West Ham,  which was quite impressive seeing the almighty Manchester City recovery to their usual playing pattern after not been consistent recently. Hence, they are currently 6th on the League table with 34 points, just a single point difference from Newcastle United.

Manchester City has been out of form for a long time. Manchester City has been consistently performing poorly. We have seen Manchester City lose even against smaller teams. However, in the match against West Ham, Manchester City's players did not make any mistakes. After a long time, Manchester City won by a big margin. Although Manchester City conceded one goal in this match. Still, City achieved a great victory of 4-1. And this victory was very necessary for Manchester City. Due to the victory in this match, the confidence of Manchester City players will increase. As a result, Manchester City will be able to play well in the upcoming matches.
I have always believed that the January will be the turning point for Manchester City as they are bound to return to their best performance once again. Teams in the Premier League should start feeling uneasy including Liverpool because Guardiola’s brilliance and ability to adapt makes him a coach that thrives in challenging situations. With the quality of players Manchester City have at their disposal, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to make a comeback in the Premier League.

What I predicted and believed from the start was absolutely right, Manchester City managed to win landslide victory with score of 4 - 1 and in this match Haaland was again seen performing more impressively, at least he gave 2 goal for Manchester City victory which also became one of the players with the highest rating in this match.
Hopefully after this victory they can gain better confidence and truly restore their mentality as before as very strong squad that is always concern for anyone who will face them, the chance to win the title is indeed very small but they must be able to get place in the top 3 this season.
You see, as soon as City's attack starts scoring like it used to, they leave no chance for their opponents. And imagine if City scored only one goal again, it would only be a draw again, so it is very important for City to score a lot, because their defense is not as good as it used to be, and in any case Guardiola has always put more emphasis on the attack. But Leicester and West Ham are not the strongest opponents and these teams have a weak defense, so we need to see how City will play against stronger opponents.

A big win against Leicester City followed by a 4-1 win against West Ham meant that the team now looked fairly confident. Although the two opponents they have won against in the last two matches are not very strong teams, it was very important to get back on the winning streak. Their points table has seen some changes due to winning two matches in a row. Now Manchester City is positioned at number 6 in the points table. Maybe they have lost a lot of points and are far behind the number one team in the points table but if they can perform well in the upcoming matches then their position can be between 1-5 in the points table. If they can stay in this position, their Champions League dream will be alive next season.

So far Liverpool still looks good and so does Manchester United, because both also have good efforts in their attacks. Before the start  of this match, I thought it would be difficult for Manchester United to provide a threat to Liverpool's defense line, but in fact Manchester United who played away was also really able to make good goal attempts. Thus,  maybe Manchester United will also be able to score goals in this match and if that happens, then of course  it will not be easy at all for Liverpool to win at home.
Yes, i actually thought it was gonna be a walk in the park for Liverpool before the start of the game, but as the game started and progressed i found out that Manchester United didn't come to park the bus but to play also, though Anfield is a strong turf and a slaughter house for the host, it hasn't being easy for Liverpool against Manchester United. Its HT currently and both teams are playing goalless, lets see how the second half goes.
Liverpool had quite a number of opportunities to have gotten a goal in this encounter during the first half of the game but have failed to see the back of the net, The first game between Fulham and Ipswich ended in a 2:2 draw, Looks like this game too would end in a draw,  because I haven't seen this front line players putting enough effort to convert an opportunity into a goal,  it would be better that both teams ended in sharing points.
What a goal from Martinez as he broke the deadlock on the 52nd minutes with a brilliant finish to put Manchester United on the lead. United started the second half with pressure on Liverpool defense which led to a goal.

What can we expect from Manchester City in this 2025. They won their game against Westham today. Rodri is back and the team has increased in the performance in their last two games. Will they be able to come back up and win the league? I doubt so, because they are very down in terms of point in the League table. The gap between Liverpool and City is not something that can be easily closed. It will take Liverpool to lose up to 4 games for City to be in the top which is nearly impossible for Liverpool to lose so much.

Apart from the City game i becoming so impressed with the way Chelsea is playing today but they are still one goal ahead of Crystal Palace. The faster they score another goal in the game the better for them to the three points home. However, i like the duo between Palmer and Sancho. Both players are highly into each other in the game and they have giving Chelsea the lead they deserve today.
Will be very much surprised if West Ham don't sack Lopetegui soon with results like this. Last match was a 5-0 defeat to Liverpool, in the match with City have already conceded 4 and not counting Southampton serious victories Lopetegui's team has not had recently, but City is apparently coming out of the crisis and although Liverpool this season apparently can not be stopped, but the first three City can still get, if as usual will be successful in the second half of the championship.

Chelsea drew with Palace and a couple more matches like with Ipswich and Crystal Palace and Chelsea will most likely drop out of the championship race.
There is a possibility in the next match if West Ham gets a bad result and also a big defeat, in the next match West Ham will face Aston Villa in the FA Cup and also with Fulham. And if both matches get bad results then it will be a threat to Lopetegui Argote. And I am also happy to see Manchester City starting to return to their best performance and I hope that with the two good results that Manchester City has done, it can continue, and can compete at the top. However, Liverpool seems to have difficulty catching up, considering the aggressive attacks that make their opponents have difficulty which will make Liverpool likely to still win every match and Liverpool also still have one more match to play.

Yes, it is very unfortunate that Chelsea failed to get full points and a goal in the final minutes from Jean-Philippe Mateta ruined the victory that was in sight and the score ended in a 1-1 draw.
Maybe West Ham have some money problems because they sell players more often than buy and hardly buy any players and Lopetegui was hired because he was cheaper than the others.
By other metrics West Ham is in last place in the EPL, including attacking and defensive metrics and West Ham's play proves it. 
Perhaps after the management Moyes wanted to find someone who can put West Ham attacking and beautiful game, but in the end they got the same game as under Moyes, only in defense play even worse.

Today all the attention is on the match Liverpool vs Manchester United and although the rain greatly hinders the match and I would like the rain to pass and the teams still could play at 100%.

Amongst all clubs that Liverpool do play against, Manchester united is the club that have won Liverpool more. This makes it not an easy match for Liverpool, and United didn't come to stand at the ballpark but to fight and struggle to see if it's possible for them to win Liverpool or draw the match. However, I wasn't expecting much from United and I believe that Liverpool will win the match in the second half.

I keep saying Arsenal needs to sign a striker but Mikel Arteta does not want to sign one. Against Brighton, Arsenal had many chances to score but they missed them. Every point counts, every point dripped is important in the title race. This loss may have changed the trajectory of Arsenal in the title race. I don’t think they are contenders to the title this season.
You know what baffles and pisses me off at the same time about this Arsenal team? It's the fact that they know their problem which is the lack of a striker but they can't fix it. This had been an issue since the departure of arsene Wenger and some how I'm tempted to believe that they are being deliberate about not signing a striker and preferring to patch players simply because they are not interested in winning the league.
This January transfer window should be an opportunity for Arteta to delve into the coffers and get someone that can be a poacher for them because Gabriel Jesus isn't just the guy for the job and also a replacement for Saka's position would be nice so you don't rely on just the guy or Raheem sterling whom he rarely uses.

I saw the News about the weather conditions at Anfield on X as the field is filled with snow and temperature is too cold, I felt initially that the match is not going to be played, I'm happy to hear the news of the match still going to hold.  Manchester united have been too inconsistent with their performance, while Liverpool has very consistent in their push to win the title. Given the way things are, I doubt if Manchester united will draw this game, Liverpool are in a better position to win this match.

Almost all of us agree that Liverpool will win easily in this match and there are many reasons about this option, first of course we know Liverpool as a consistent and solid team so they managed to secure the top of the standings in a few weeks. Another reason Liverpool play at home with high confidence this means that Manchester United only have a few opportunities to get points especially lately Manchester United's performance is very bad with 3 successive defeats, therefore Sportsbook offers low odds for Liverpool like the screenshot below.





That's why i prefer to take Total Over instead of Liverpool win. We must stick to their h2h in the last months. It never ended in below 3 goals, and makes sense to pick Total Over 2.75. I don't even see United chance to win, but they can score.

Liverpool is in a very good mentality, and they have to win to widening their gap to the competitors below them. They have to beat United.

As for MU, i believe Amorim will do another rotation, and this will be their boomerang. He's under very big pressure at this moment.
It's half time now and the score line is 0-0, I think we are moving towards a draw, Manchester United have had brilliant chances to score even Liverpool too have had to miss some good chances they would have scored. Manchester United have been a bit defensive even more than I expected and that have been helping them so far as i thought that by now the goals would have started coming in, I don't know what the second half  holds but over 2.75 is likely not going to happen, with the way both sides are playing, if anybody mistakenly scores, even if is 1-0, the game is likely to end on that one 1-0 because both sides have been closing in on all their wings not letting any part to porous for exploit.

In a battle of 2 teams who have struggled to win in recent weeks, Brentford dominated their opponents with a barrage of goals.Brentford scored 5 goals away from home and got an important win.It was a game in which both teams were keen to play the ball but Brentford were better offensively.
Bournemouth defeated Everton 1-0 with a goal from Brooks.Bournemouth have not lost for a long time and they are showing that they are in the race to qualify for the European Cups this season.I don't know if they will be able to keep the same form towards the last weeks of the league but I must say that they are doing well so far.

Chelsea is really in need of a prolific striker. They would have won that match if not that Jackson was missing most of their scoring chances. I won't even blame him for giving Chelsea a direct winning. Myself I did same thing, I was really hoping that Chelsea will return to winning ways after dropping points in their recent matches.
It’s just high time Chelsea gets another striker, they can’t be risking Jackson. Also, we can see that Jackson is not consistent, and Chelsea needs a better striker. Jackson wasted lots of chances in the match, chances which he would have converted to goals. I was surprised that Chelsea couldn’t get a win in the match, I just hope Enzo will since some players, because Chelsea's performance is dropping, which is really a bad one.

If Chelsea are not careful, they will find it difficult to secure a spot in the top four. I had confidence in Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League before, but from the way Chelsea are playing currently, they might find it difficult to achieve if they don’t improve their performance.

Just look at the number chances Nicolas Jackson missed yesterday. He was the reason why Chelsea lost 2 points yesterday. It’s Chelsea’s fault for not signing a striker in the last transfer window because when former players like Mikel Obi and others were insisting that Chelsea get Victor Osimhen, they didn’t go for him. They had their hopes on Nicolas Jackson and Cristopher Nkunku.

Arsenal leads Brighton by 1goal to nil thanks to a  Nwaneri goal and if they hold on to their lead this will put them 3 points behind Liverpool who have 2 games in hand to get to 20games...and looking at the log it's interesting to see how Nottingham is now in the top 3 rubbing  shoulders with the elite and playing some good football that we can't ignore them...but I believe Chelsea should pull through for a top four finish despite dropping points of late.
Chelsea I think is surely going to end in the top four of the English Premier League but I expected more from Enzo Maresca's men than a fight to finish the season in a UEFA Champions League qualifying spot. The Arsenal game at Brighton have just finished with both teams getting a point each after they played out a 1:1 draw which was also the same scoreline Chelsea match against Crystal Palace finished. Nottingham Forest are still occupying the third position with 37 points but will match Arsenal's 40 points if they manage to win at Wolves on Monday
With the current form of Newcastle which are just one point behind them on the standings, and the resurgence of Manchester City as both club are fighting for a top four finish in this season English premier League, it will surely make it extremely difficult for Chelsea to be able to cope with the pressure of both Newcastle and Manchester City. Talking about Arsenal, I think they should be able to qualify for next seasons Champions League irrespective of their disappointing performance against Brighton yesterday.

Everyone is free to choose, being different is not a mistake, regardless of the final result of the match. Liverpool and Manchester United both have great ambitions to secure full points, everyone realizes that Arne Slot squad has a higher chance of doing so, but surprises can also happen. If Liverpool lose points, then Arsenal hopes of competing for the trophy are alive again. Meanwhile, if Manchester United suffer defeat, then their position is getting closer to the relegation zone. The match has been going on for a quarter of normal time, and so far no goals have been scored.
You're right, regardless of who the favorite is, the final result could be different as expected. As far as the first half went, I thought the match was really intense with both teams managing to create good chances. No goals were scored in the first 30 minutes and the most important thing was that Manchester United's game was not bad.

Liverpool are certainly better at building attacks and they have also made several attempts to score the first goal, but all of these attempts have not been successful. This match is really difficult and I am sure Liverpool will not win easily as many people say.
