I see Arne Slot using Liverpool coaching method with tactics and strategies that are actually not much different from Klopp coaching method, this is what makes Liverpool not seem to experience significant decline in performance after the change of coach.
Arne Slot made the right decision by combining how the previous performance was with what he implemented to be able to improve Liverpool performance slowly and all the core players that Klopp previously had are now all still there so that Liverpool can still perform consistently.
Last season Liverpool mistake was when they entered the end of the season there was decline in performance and loss of confidence which made them unable to perform consistently, hopefully something like this can be lesson and in the future Liverpool can maintain their performance until the competition is really over.

On paper Arsenal has a higher chance of winning the match, in many aspects Arteta squad has more advantages. In addition, playing in front of their own supporters will give Arsenal an advantage, and in my opinion Brighton will most likely not be able to beat Arsenal, like they beat Manchester United in the second week match yesterday. If Arsenal fails to secure full points when facing a team like Brighton, then their ambition to win the Premier League trophy this season is very doubtful, Arteta must field his best squad to be able to continue to perform consistently.

The head to head record of the two teams meetings, Arsenal is still superior to Brighton, so it is very natural that Arsenal is favored in this match. Besides, I think this is the best season for Arsenal to win a trophy, after the last two seasons they have experienced rapid improvement, in fact Manchester City still looks very dominant. Arsenal weakness this season may lie in the front line, they have not recruited a better quality striker than Gabriel Jesus or Nketiah.

This match is really a guess to determine their position in the EPL standings. Either Arsenal or Brighton win or lose. Even if it's a draw, then the position will be the same, unless there is a change in the number of scores.

Based on H2H, both have also been quite competitive since last season, so it's still quite difficult. Unless Arsenal is really solid and optimal, I think Arsenal will have a higher chance.

In addition, there is also a big match between Liverpool and Man United which will also be competitive. Therefore, the position of 2-4 may change after this week's match.

For Manchester United it is again about losing touch to the top ranks of the table early on. It must be freaking annoying for all the fans who wished that ten Hag would be gone by now. Not everyone will blame him and I guess he isn't to blame for all the trouble really as I think it is still the players who play well or not, but the discussion will quickly come up again. Manchester United, once the biggest club in football, doesn't want to head into the season every single year with very few points out of the first few games.

Most disappointing is Everton so far. I didn't see them as competing for anything important, but usually they have been able to gather points here and there. The game against Bournemout is certainly a key moment as losing that one would be harsh.

West Ham against Manchester City looks like an easy round for the defending champion, but with West Ham I realized last season that you can't be fully sure. They had some impressive games and then they messed it up.

All the teams that got promoted have had a first rough week and my take was that all of them may probably go down again immediately except for Southampton. They had a first good game against Newcastle.

The leading teams have all been solid though and it's only two games, but I don't see why any of the mid quality teams should accelerate and take a top spot. Could of course become true, but I doubt that even Chelsea can claim a top four rank by the end of the season.

I think Arsenal will win this game from the fact that they're the better team and they know by now that ought not to be taking any chances if they really want to win the EPL title this season after running close to winning it these last 2 seasons especially last season.
While Brighton got the better of Manchester United I doubt such a similar scenario would occur against arsenal

Winning against Manchester United at Old Trafford isn't always an easy task and that's why I think Manchester United have a chance of getting a result in their game against Liverpool on Sunday. But if we must be realistic about the performance of both teams so far in the league and who stands a better chance of winning that game, there's no doubt that Liverpool will be backed by the majority.
My friend who happens to be a Manchester United fan told me two days ago that he's very confident that Erik ten Hag's men will get all three points from the game but I was very quick to tell him that I don't think they'll get a win in that game. It'll be a Liverpool win or draw if you ask me.

Based on the performance of Brighton after two matches, it is very good for Arsenal not to see them as a small team as they can shock Arsenal by sharing points with them if they are underestimated.
Arsenal and Brighton has recorded 2 wins in 2 matches it is very possible for any of the team to come out victorious in the match but Arsenal with a more balanced team and the advantage of playing at home will definitely help them to get a win against Brighton.

The performance of Arsenal will tell if they will win the match but going with their performance in the last two matches they are not looking like a team who is going to drop any points against a small club for now.

Yeah Manchester United are the team looking desperate here, a loss again will mean they lost 6 points which at this stage will be very disappointing, over the past season we have seen this fixture producing drama or unpredicted results either Manchester United getting beating with an heavy score or they manage to cough out wins that most people do not expect from them. Right now on the table log Liverpool are the better team and are the ones that bookmakers are tipping to win. But regardless of that I wouldn’t still underrate Manchester United. First of it is an home game for them, secondly they have been playing way too better than last season just finding it hard to convert their chances and lastly this Liverpool team has been tested this season. With a new manager in charge I will like to see the team reaction and how the coach tweaks his tactics when they go down first.

What we don't have to do this early season is to underrate any club. We sure know that Arsenal is stronger than Brighton in the English Premier League, but that doesn't literaly imply that it's a straight win for Arsenal.
Remember that Brighton is an offensive team and they have alot of young and energetic players who could fight from the first minute till the 90th minute without getting tired even if they are on the lossing side. Also, if you carefully trace the history of Brighton this past seasons, you will understand that they play their best games against top teams in England. So, we should generally expect an exciting match in a warm atmosphere and not a match that will outrightly victimize Brighton. The season is pretty new, so no clear lane is created yet by any team.

Arne Slot will have/is already having a very good season beginning at Liverpool but I think it would end really well for him, finishing within the top four due to having so many competitors for the league this season clubs like Man city, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham even though Man united performance have not been so great at the start of the new Premier League season. I think Manchester United are still able to compete against Liverpool with little or no chance of winning the fixture but good possibility of ending the game as a draw or won by Liverpool with a minor goal difference.

Tomorrow's match will be one of the proofs of Erik ten hag's performance because he must be able to prove that they can beat Liverpool. Well, one side of the performance of the two teams in the last two matches has been seen that Liverpool is more consistent in the last two matches because they were able to get full points. While Manchester United have not been able to show their consistency in the first two matches because the previous match Manchester United was defeated by Brighton.

I remember when Liverpool beat Manchester United with a score of 7-0. Maybe tomorrow's match if Manchester United's defense is weak then there could be many goals that will occur. Regarding the players where Manchester United lost some of their main players in tomorrow's match because they were injured. While Liverpool seems like they will come down with a perfect squad where Salah et al will be ready to appear to seek victory at Old Trafford.

In terms of performance at the beginning of this season, Liverpool are a little better but that also cannot be a reference especially since this is the first time the Slot faces a big match in official competition after 2 previous matches they faced opponents who were a little easier.

Manchester United still have many gaps that can be exploited, especially their teamwork until now still looks not quite solid so this can be a hope for Liverpool to get full points back in the match later.

But of course Manchester United also don't want to expect that especially with their current condition playing at old trafford, of course they don't want to lose points in front of their own supporters.
What is clear is that this can be a consideration later in the game because after all it is certain that this will be an interesting match.

Brighton isn't a really big and strong team enough but I know for sure that Arsenal isn't going to be an easy team for them to really handle, they may manage to get a goal but I cannot be certain about them winning the game or not, even arsenal you still cannot be sure if they are going to win either because we have seen in recent times the way most other teams have performed even the bigger teams have not been really at their best, they have been struggling at some point, so if same happens to Arsenal I don't expect any much different.

Big matches are usually accompanied by mentality, and Liverpool have that. If Liverpool had scored early, I'm not sure this result would have ended in a draw, instead Man United could have been slaughtered by Liverpool and this has happened before.

Moreover, if you look at Man United in the last four matches, it is clear that Man United is not very stable. They lost to Liverpool in a friendly match, Lost on penalties to Man City in the Community Shield. When entering the EPL league, Man United won by a narrow score against a weak team like Fulham in the first week, then lost at Brighton's home. Here it can be seen that Man United is not yet fully strong strategically or as a team. This is very different from Liverpool under new coach Arne Slot, he managed to bring Liverpool successfully through two matches in the EPL perfectly.

Of course this will be a big capital for Liverpool to face Man United at Old Trafford, and what's interesting is that now in the last few seasons Old Trafford has no longer been feared by opponents. So indeed in this match betting on Man United's victory is the same as wasting money, my prediction is that Liverpool will get full points in this match.

The season is just starting, and Liverpool have been playing well. I was thinking their performance will be affected because of the new coach that they are having, but as we can see, Liverpool are really playing well, and they won’t just want to lose any match currently, and we can see that Manchester United's performance is not really good this season, so trying to face Liverpool is not just going to be easy for them, the match is going to be an interesting one, but I will be predicting Liverpool to win the match also.

Manchester United is not as bad as you are thing that you easily concluded that anyone who bets on them to win against Liverpool is just going to wast their money is unfair. It’s football, and anything can happen. We should also check their head-to-head record over the last two seasons. I don’t think Liverpool has won against Manchester United in a home game at Old Trafford.

I’m not saying that Liverpool can’t beat Manchester United in up coming game, but I want you to know that Manchester United is not so weak that you should judge them like Leicester City or other weaker teams. The same thing was said last season when Manchester United qualified for the final against Manchester City people claimed that Manchester United couldn't defeat Manchester City. But at the end of the day, Manchester United won the game.

Manchester United against Liverpool is always a big match, and either team can win. What’s important to note is that the favorite to win the match, based on current performance, is Liverpool. However, I cannot fully bet on them with assurance that Liverpool will win the game."

Liverpool is under new coach, while Manchester United is under the same manager that manages the team last season; therefore, I will be expecting Manchester United to defeat Liverpool especially as they are playing the match at Old Trafforf.
Statistically, Liverpool won two and drew two in their last five meetings against Manchester United, while Manchester United won just one game, this clearly shows that Liverpool have good hope over winning the match than Manchester United.
Arne Slot will be playing his first difficult match against Manchester United, if he win Manchester United, then we can put them among the title contenders this season.

The season is barely less than 3 weeks and you have already concluded who is stringer and who is weak. Don't you know that even the strong team you think are the best get beating by a minor team but we wouldn't see that now until the season becomes tougher, hard and as each teams lose stamina and strengthen towards the tournament. Some teams naturally loss some players to injuries, so you should expect a dynamic strength change from one team to another.

I think Liverpool are only energized by the presence of Arne Slot, most teams behave that way after they get a a new coach due to the pressures mount on them and after a while probably some weeks of the round matches, they behim to show their real characters and how incompetent they are but not all teams and coach change, some remain the way they are until the end of the season.

But I think it will be quite difficult for Man Utd to beat Liverpool this week. Even though Man Utd are the hosts and they should be able to play with more confidence, we know that their opponent is Liverpool, where the mentality of the Liverpool players is always the same whether it is at home or away. I think Liverpool can still be favored or maybe a draw will happen. Last season was the same. And we know that currently Man Utd's condition is really quite worrying. because their 4 defenders are also still injured and will not play in the match against Liverpool. They are Lindelof, Shaw, Yoro and Malacia. Their midfielder M.Mount is also injured and Hojlund is still not fully recovered and may play in the next 3 weeks. So it can be said that Ten Hag is currently in a difficult position. Because the squad he built will definitely not be optimal with so many injured players.

All what I know is that Manchester United will not win that game. That is just the fact because Liverpool have a strong defence that will make it very hard for Manchester United to penetrate and that will make it hard for them to win them. It is not that I will not respect your opinion that the game might end up in a draw. No, there is a possibility that it will end up like that. But the most expectation is that Liverpool will win the game in the sense that we know Liverpool are trying their best to see what they got this season, so I don’t think they will like to go on a draw or lose this game, so I will also say that they have higher chances of winning the game.
