Of course, there is also this perspective. Injuries can change the entire balance of the team. Arsenal has too many injuries. If we talk about Manchester City, there have not been many injuries and there is Haaland who has scored nine goals in four matches. When you think about it this way, it is a fact that Manchester City has the advantage on paper. However, the opposing team is Arsenal and their technical director is Arteta. He is a name that knows Pep Guardiola very well. If he makes the right analysis and can stop Haaland, I think Arsenal can leave the field with at least a draw. Apart from that, although Manchester City is the favorite, it is a fact that the match is open to any score.

The results are pretty good for the EFL, but remember Barnsley is an EFL League One team, the third tier of the United Kingdom football league system. Nicknamed "the Colliers". So this does not show how strong Man United is at the moment. They deserved those 7 goals.

I feel sure fans are looking forward to Man United's game like Sir Alex Ferguson. They miss the fast game and the determination of possession so that they become a club that is quite feared when competing.  Currently, Ten Hag has not been able to make Man United return to the Sir Alex Era.

Well in my own perspective, I don't think I the bookmarkers giving arsenal higher odds against Manchester city should be a surprise, because Manchester city are way more superior to arsenal in my own perspective, besides they are at home, which you rightfully said, so I really don't think arsenal can go toe too toe against Manchester city right now that most of their key players are out injured, so I believe that even though arsenal is a very good team they actually don't have what it takes to beat Manchester city in their own backyard, with the kind of form Manchester city is on right now, so on that note I believe that Manchester city will come out victorious in this upcoming encounter between them.

Lastly, I understand the fact that most of us don't know how the bookmarkers operate, we don't know how they fix the odds of most games, but I think I have a clear picture of how they comes about the odds they mostly give out to most teams, so we shouldn't be that surprise that much why Manchester city odd is way more smaller than arsenal odds,  because right now, arsenal team is not as complete right now as Manchester city team which is quite understandable to me.

Manchester United managed to show a different dimension when facing Barnsley in the Carabao Cup match, they managed to shave their opponents with a big score after improving the quality of their game. This was a huge win in the Ten Hag era, It's been a long time since I saw MU score this many goals in one game.

The duet of Garnacho and Rashford really made the difference in this game and Antony managed to score his first goal of the season. I hope Ten Hag can maintain his team's best performance in the EPL, a win is very much needed to improve their position in the standings after only being able to get two wins and two losses in their four matches in the EPL.

I think the probability of a draw is not small at all. This match can end in a draw and the odds are really great. I don't understand why they give these odds. Manchester City is very strong but the opponent is Arsenal and they are also strong. If it were me, I would bet on a draw for this match. They gave good odds.

Yep. This was Manchester United's best performance since Erik Ten Hag took charge of United. I enjoy soccer and most importantly, big scores.
We know Barnsley is a weak side, but United need games like this for the players to build their confidence and also give the youngsters some much-needed time. And Casa needed this game as well.
We can see how confident Marcus is since his goal last week.
Let's pray and see how United does against Palace in the next game.

All of these successes and victories are also inseparable from Mikel Arteta performance who was able to perfect the Arsenal squad which was in player crisis, Arteta was able to read Tottenham game and make his players able to balance their strengths and achieve victory.
This is really great, I remember in the previous seasons when Arsenal were able to win matches that were initially doubtful that they could win, but everything was different at the end of the season because during the previous two season Arsenal always made fatal mistakes at the end of the season.
Arsenal have lost the opportunity to win the title twice because of their own mistakes, at the beginning of the 2024/25 season they were able to play well, I curious about how it will continue, whether Arsenal will repeat some of the mistakes in the past or they can learn and really become strong team this season.
I sure there will be big surprise later that we can witness in the Premier League title competition, there are several team that look like they can challenge Manchester City and this is fiercer than last season between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

They have bought quality players with significant sums of money but those quality players are not doing much for their club. I think they should have recruited more capable defenders to their club this season. Every season I see a glaring weakness in their defense. This season they made a transfer and there they tried to strengthen their defense but that was not enough to fix their weaknesses. Manchester United need good quality finishers, have good quality strikers but they are not finishing well. As important as finishing is in every match, saving goals for your team is even more important. If Manchester United takes these two aspects seriously and organizes their team according to that plan, they can definitely return to consistent performance.

This is literally a show of football intimidation and a big disgrace for Barnsley, Lolz.. Because though it looks funny, the way Manchester United just gave Barnsley a whooping 7 goals to Nill, a clear clean sheets, is obvious ever since Liverpool gave them 7 goals to Nill in their previous match played long time ago, they have been planning on who to revenge such number of goals to, of which it seems Barnsley happens to have been the lucky victim to have been publicly disgrace in such manner yesterday. However, big kodus to Rashford, Garnacho, Eriksen and Anthony for making Manchester United proud in yesterday's game against Barnsley.

Manchester United's victory over Barnsley deserves our appreciation, because being able to win with a score of 7-0 is quite a good achievement. So hopefully Manchester United can play well like this when facing teams in the English league. Because in essence it could be said that it is quite natural that Manchester United could win a landslide victory over Barnsley, because the levels of Manchester United and Barnsley are clearly very far apart. So basically it can be said that it is natural that Manchester United can win by a landslide in this match against Barnsley. Because the league castes played by Manchester United and Barnsley are clearly different.

But even so, hopefully Manchester United can play compactly like this when competing in the English league. Because so far I also see that Manchester United's competitiveness in the English league is still quite bad. Especially when you meet big teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, you can be sure that Manchester will most likely always lose. So in essence, Manchester United may be satisfied with the results of this victory. But they shouldn't forget that in the English league they are having difficulties. Because the proof is that Manchester United is currently in 10th position in the English league.
And in the coming week Manchester United will face Crystal Palace. I was a little hesitant to bet on this match, but it looks like doing BTTS in this match would be very appropriate. because I'm sure these two teams will both score goals.

I'm looking forward to this match, because I think this match is quite tough where Manchester City will face two strong teams besides that I still think they can win but maybe there will be difficulties that will occur. The pressure that they will definitely give to their opponents will also occur and I don't doubt they can win.

Arsenal who have a good defense will certainly make it difficult for Manchester City to score goals, but anyway I think they can find a gap to score goals against Arsenal. In addition, Arsenal can also be said to be a team that has strong performance so they are one of the teams that will block Manchester City's development. We'll just have to see how the match goes to see who will win this match.

Congratulations to Manchester United because maybe this match is Manchester United's day which has won with a very satisfying score and I think the fans are happy with the results of their match which has been able to beat Barnsley. In addition, I appreciate this because it is one of the good achievements that they have done with their hard work. With their quite interesting front line players, because they played quite well and scored goals each.
Manchester United should not relax with this victory because they still have a long journey that they have to go through, besides I think they don't look ready to face other strong Premier League teams. They still have to work hard to improve their performance and ranking, because the victory they have achieved is not the end of their journey.

Tottenham played well but their defense made costly mistake. Arsenal Gabriel scored  winning goal because of this error. Arsenal is usually the better team but they did not play their best. They were lucky to win. Here I will say Tottenham defense needs work. And Arsenal won because they used their chances well not because they dominated. And Tottenham controlled the game 66% possession 494 passes but couldn't score. So they need more practice.

Tottenham football team did not play bad but they could not win this match due to lack of defense system. They should defend any ball that is coming towards goal, Gabriel got a chance to do goal and he got benefit and he did important goal for his team. Arsenal team is best team in this tournament but in this match ,they could not perform well but they won this match luckily.  Arsenal players shots were only 7 in the comparison of 15 shots of Tottenham team . The possession percentage of Tottenham team was good and that was 66 percent and their passes were also more in number  and that was 494 but result was not in the favour of them .

It is undeniable that most of the players from Man United are able to show their best performance when they have left the club. And most of them can really fit in and be optimal with their new club.

Anyway, good movement and development from Man United today in the EFL Cup. Where they humiliated their opponent Barnsley with a score of 7-0 without reply.

And what is interesting is the duet between Garnacho and Rashford, they both became very productive players this time. See this:

However, it has been seen that when Nottingham Forest or many other clubs play against small clubs then they face a big problem in the way of maintaining form. Indeed, they can occasionally produce the upset against the major teams, but the major issue is how they can overcome teams they are supposed to be capable of beating. Continuity is probably the biggest issue that can’t be easily addressed, and it typically has links to inadequate monetary support and the talent pool in a team. On the other end of the scale, merely having the ability to remain in the top flight is a major accomplishment for them. Not getting relegated is a victory in itself for a team that has no fortunes to invest in their team. Even where they always push for better score, staying within the elite competition is something to be thankful for. It demonstrates that clubs such as Nottingham Forest are still trying as much as they can despite all the constraints.

Yeah I agree with you, from all sides Manchester City is clearly the favorite especially as they are the home team but as you said surprises can come at any time and Arsenal have the ability to do it. We know Manchester City have the ability to score goals and Arsenal have a good defense, even the best in the Premier League well, we can imagine how this match will be on September 22nd. If we check the betting market at Stake.com it is clear that the odds for Manchester City are better at 1.81 while for Arsenal it is 4.5 and on a draw bet 3.75

In the end the situation remains the same where although they can always surprise and even win with the big clubs but in the end consistency for small clubs is always a difficult problem to solve.

We know that in the end financial capabilities and resources ultimately affect performance so for some clubs like Nottingham Forrest even though on several occasions they can always surprise by winning or holding a draw with a bigger club, their condition will never change.
They will still be very troubled to try to stay in the main league competition because after all it will be very difficult so they must continue to feel grateful even though they are at the bottom of the table because in the end not to be relegated even for a club that is actually still very short in terms of player material and finance it is a very good thing for them.

How many goals did Chelsea concede in their last match? The answer is 0, they didn't concede any goal, what then are you guys talking about? The season is pretty still early and every club including Chelsea is striving to hold their ground and soldier on. So, we should stop the extreme criticism on Chelsea and allow the coach do his job. We shouldn't forget that the coach is new and still have things to fix in the club. It is very rare to see any coach achieve something great in their first season. Besides, Chelsea was not handed over to him in a good form. He obviously needs time to adapt the players and himself and deliver to the management.

I will say that’s just the two main problems Chelsea are having, their defense is just so weak, and they are supposed to work on the position because their opponents are always finding it very easy to penetrate them, and they also lack striker. Jackson which  they have is not consistent, he do perform well in some matches, but in most matches his performance is always poor, and if Chelsea wants to continue with Jackson, then they won’t be able to perform well this season because most of the chances that they will be having, Jackson will be missing them. So Enzo should look for a way to tighten their defense.
