I can't say Wolves are playing well in this encounter until they get the business done, like getting that 3pt from the champions. This was how impressive they played against Chelsea but they ended up falling behind and now they're doing the same thing, but is still good to see them playing a 1-1 draw at half time against a very strong team. City on the other hand have been taking this game with care and I believe in the second half they're coming out to dominate the game fully, is best for Wolves to defend if they want to get a point in this game, at least a draw would be a great result for a team that haven't won any game since the beginning of this season.

Arne Slot hasn't changed much in Liverpool's system, but he has made some updates to the philosophy of the game. Liverpool have had a better than expected start under Arne Slot. Slot has managed to use the squad he inherited from Klopp very well so far and Liverpool have been playing good football and winning despite their significant deficiencies. However, I remind you that they have not played very challenging games in the league during the transition period. Chelsea will be a good test for them.

Chelsea had a not bad performance against Nottingham, but they drew and again suffered from individual mistakes in defense. Chelsea have a better performance compared to last season and they are doing well under Maresca. For Liverpool, the form of Jota and Salah makes it easier for them in front of goal. In Chelsea, Cole Palmer's form is rising week by week. I expect this match to be played at a high tempo and I think there will be mutual goals. Although Liverpool is the side that is close to winning, there is a high chance that Chelsea will surprise.

It was very difficult for Arsenal to maintain their quality of play after losing a player since the 30th minute, I know, they really wanted to win this match, but this is football, unpredictable things always happen during the match. Arsenal players cannot afford to be disappointed after their perfect start to the Premier League season ended at the hands of Bournemouth. Arteta must be able to make his players remain consistent in maintaining their performance in the next match, the competition is still long, they still have a lot of time to catch up on the points deficit from their rivals.

This was not like an away game for Man City because they completely dominated the proceedings. Wolves surprisingly managed to score in the early minutes but because of that, they ultimately tend to play defensive football in order to maintain the advantage they have, and that is clearly the only best option for Wolves who take the lead. However, this actually made Man City play more aggressively and gave them more space to build up, so that in the end Man City could equalize, and maybe they will be able to turn things around in the second half.

Manchester United got 3 important points from a come back against Brentford yesterday and they jumped up 3 positions after that. It's very helpful for Manchester United and Ten Hag to avoid a worse crisis. This win can hep Ten Hag buying more time to improve the team performance, rank in Premier League and avoid a sack decision from Manchester United.

The news of Mainoo injury and his needed time for recovery is very bad for Ten Hag. The young player has been growing up a lot since the last season and he is important in Manchester United now. Especially in a crisis like this, young players can be very helpful with their ambition to make a break out for their career. Next few weeks will help us knowing more about career future of Ten Hag in Old Trafford.

Man City was still lucky to equalize in the first half through Gvardiol goal. Now in the second half Pep Guardiola will certainly emphasize more aggressively, Man City has a high mentality to continue fighting in the second half, but Wolves is clearly not certain. Because Man City does not want to have bad luck especially in today match, the target of 3 points must be really obtained because this is the only chance for Man City to overtake Liverpool who will undergo a tough match against Chelsea. My prediction is that Man City will lead the score until the end of the second half.

Don't worry guys, there's still plenty of time, Man City has also equalized in the 33rd minute through Josko Gvardiol, possession of the ball by both teams is very uneven, 80% - 20%, something that Man City usually shows in every match, especially Wolves is not a strong team.
Well, the first half of the match will soon end with the score still 1-1, there are a few minutes left for Man City to score a second goal before continuing to the second half.
I will look forward to the other goals they will create.

It is not unusual to see Manchester City lose early in the match, Wolves are currently leading 1-0 over Manchester City and Wolves are playing quite cautiously because they have never won in the Premier League but now they are facing a giant team that will most likely give Wolves another defeat.
When I type Manchester City managed to equalize to 1-1 and the goal was scored by Josko Gvardiol in the 33rd minute, and now we are waiting for the next goal from Erling Haaland who I think will score more than 1 goal.

Arsenal should learn the hard way if they want to win the premier league trophy. One man down shouldn’t have made them lose to Bournemouth who are less to them in quality and everything. What if they were facing a bigger team like Liverpool or Manchester City, is this how they’re going to concede plenty goals in the match or even if it happened in the champions league, is this how they’ll lose to the team? They need to keep a check on this and if they can’t be able to manage themselves not to concede goals after getting red cards, then they should avoid getting it at all because that will only make them to be seen as a less quality team that really want to win a trophy this season.


It was only some minutes before the start of the game that Saka was ruled out of the match and many have thought that Arteta did it deliberately to keep him fit and sound for their upcoming bigger match. This was just a rumour but not certain if that was the reason for that. Martinelli was brought in later as he didn’t start the game with the rest of the squad, but despite this changes, there was nothing to talk more about them to have won that match. Everyone is putting the blame on the red card and I say if they can’t play with one man down, then they should try not to get a red card, it’s very sad they’re losing to a team like Bournemouth at this crucial time.

Arsenal looks shaky this period and arteta underestimated the club and he was left with the consequences of his actions and this is not the kind of game for arsenal, and focusing on the defensive game is just reducing all out attacks. And I felt ashamed with the kind of performance that Arsenal have been pulling off since the beginning of this season, and the last time we played with Manchester City even with the red card we were able to draw Manchester City so what happened with Bournemouth flagging arsenal 2:0 is just surprising.

Like this season is just about cards like they don't want to spare anyone from the cards so if you do somthing thay deserves red card then you will be given, Chelsea and Liverpool is another trouble because getting who is going to win.

Manchester City vs Wolves The two teams have been counter-attacking since the start of the game and Wolves managed to score a goal in the 7th minute. Although we are still confident that Manchester City are the most likely to win this match, they must attack strongly if they are to counter the goals. However, since the game is being held at Wolves' home ground, Manchester City will now have to play better and strengthen their game performance. Also, Wolves are not that strong team they are in the relegation zone of the points table, I think Manchester City will definitely change their game and come out with a win.

The game is not that tough because Arsenal's best players are not in the game and we can see that the absence of Saka affected Arsenal yesterday, what made Arsenal lose hope of winning or ending the game end draw was the red card that Saliba received, Arsenal is facing a lot this season and they need to fix those things most especially the red card that they are receiving, Arsenal race for the title is ended because I don't see them achieving points that can make them challenge Manchester City and Liverpool at this moment.

Arsenal's performance yesterday shows that they can't do without some players, a player as Saka, Odegard and Saliba, although saliba will not be that important for Arsenal his performance in the defensive position is good, Saka and Odegard is needed in Arsenal's squad if not they won't even end up losing the league title, they will not qualify for the champion league next season.

Saliba is one of their core defenders and any replacement they can have for him will affect their game in the upcoming matches. I saw in a news that Saliba will miss the next three matches for Arsenal which is that of Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle. I don’t know how true this is but if it is so, I don’t think Arsenal defense can hold on to the pressure from this teams before the end of the matches. Arsenal really messed up in this match and I just hope they don’t have a repeat of what they’ve been doing from previous season that they end up not winning the trophy. They should do better and maximize their opportunities from now before it is too late for them.


The match yesterday was unlike what was expected from them. Arsenal should by now be a team that can play well even with one man down. They’re such a team that many people have seen to make the champions this season and if a red card in the game can make them lose to such a small team, I don’t think they’re ready to be champions this season either. They should go back to the drawing board and make things right for themselves if they really want a trophy this season.

Arsenal will no longer have the possibility to win the Premier League because I am confident Manchester City will defeat the Wolves, and Liverpool will not want to draw or lose at Anfield today, they will aim to earn three points against them. Arteta's lack of a backup plan has resulted in a terrible start. Saliba is the only key defender in the team. Without the red card, Bournemouth would not have had the opportunity to defeat Arsenal on the pitch. Let's see what happens next. Liverpool and Chelsea because the game will not be easy for Liverpool to win because Chelsea is in much better shape and will not want to lose today. Arsenal will simply go and focus very well in the Champions league because they can't do anything anymore to top the league. have seen that they are not more favorite for the League. If Liverpool and Manchester City win today they will be leading arsenal with clear three point, expect Chelsea defeat Liverpool before I can say arsenal can still try and top the League again if Chelsea defeat Liverpool and he won't be easy for them.

The red card affected their game and Arteta’s plans and Bournemouth took advantage of the situation. As far as i know Bournemouth this season they may be mid table team but they are now big problem to big teams so big teams need to very careful when playing against such teams. It is now clear that without Arsenal’s key players the rest of the players can barely make something happen on their own, Saka, Odegaard and Saliba’s absence proves that the team will struggle without them and it might even get worse when they face Liverpool next weekend.

It so unfortunate that you lost your bet, if was an unexpected occurrence and even Arsenal team never thought they’d pick up a red and lose the game. I was disappointed as well because i thought they still have the champions spirit in them as last season and the season before where they were unstoppable even with a man down, they don’t seem like that anymore and the fact that they couldn’t even draw was so disappointing and now everyone is doubting if they stand a chance to be champions this season.

It almost time for the match to begin the match and the selection are not so bad, Wolves are struggling currently and so it should be easy for Manchester City to win this game even with a declining defense. Rodri will definitely bee missed but Kovacic seems to be filling the space perfectly and even scoring goals for the team something he barely does for Chelsea. No matter what happens i expect a win from Manchester City to extend their lead away from Arsenal and also ahead of Liverpool if Liverpool drops points against Chelsea today.

Arsenal suffered a disaster out of nowhere and took a bunch of bettors with them, apparently - no one expected a dry defeat in this game. Many bet on the total over or BTTS, or Arsenal's victory or even a double chance.
By the way, I noticed that favorites often lose points synchronously, so it is likely that City or Liverpool will lose points today (hope it will be City).

2 very interesting matches today and Man City bets, I am very comfortable but for Liverpool vs Chelsea, it is very tense.
Everyone knows how Liverpool performance is currently having a very strong defense only conceding 2 goals from 7 matches and also having a very consistent attack line. The problem is that Chelsea is currently also very stable looking more consistent and in the attack line when having a very good performance and being able to provide strong resistance to be able to share points.
So that's the reason I took a double chance draw or Chelsea.

Arsenal is genuinely awful even before they lost one of their defenders. They're hard to take the three points even if their player, Saliba, was not given a red card. They missed Saka and Ødegaard. They lack good wingers. They have no good CAM who helped with their rotation from the midfield to the offense. They're so bang average in this game.

And if you watched their line-up closely, then you should also be aware if that's one of the garbage line-ups. They're putting Merino, Rice, and Partey together at mid. It's one of Arteta's faults; they're all much more dominant as defensive midfielders. It makes their attack look so ineffecitient.

I have no reason to call them that they'd be winning the game if they had not dropped a player due to the red card.

Arsenal's defeat doesn't seem to be because Arteta doesn't have a plan B, but rather because of the impact of the red card. Initially, Arsenal appeared confident, even though they were playing away from home. But after Saliba receives a red card due to Trossard's carelessness, their mentality becomes shaky, so they continue playing with an unstable composure. Playing with 10 men from the early minutes will definitely drain their stamina, and when their opponents manage to break down the deadlock, it makes Arsenal even more devastated.

 The match between Arsenal and Bournemouth was very disappointing by the Gunners standards and I won't deny, they played like they weren't prepared at all. I still maintain that if you're not good at building from the back, don't attempt it and it's this their back and forth and their somewhat disorientation that made Leandro Trossard attempt that back pass that resulted in Saliba roughing Evanilson. Personally I think if he hadn't been that rough and found another way to guide the ball, the guy would not have been able to score too.
 It's so sad that Saliba had to record his first red card in his professional career against a team like Bournemouth who aren't even that worthy opponents.
