Leicester City Vs. Manchester United.
I hate if this match Man Utd not win again. Ibra is good no doubt but Man Utd needs someone who can convert many chances into goals. He wastes lots of chances per game which is deadly. Man Utd just needs a lethal finisher. If until 50 minutes Ibrahimovic did not make a goal, he must be replace Martial or Lingard.

Fabregas comes on for last 10 minutes and the team plays better than it did for the entire match, he should have been on in Matic place for this and Tottenham matches , hope he starts against Arsenal then can be replaced by Matic on the 60th or 70th minute....Conte must appreciate Fab's passing and ball control skills.

I dont think the result solidifies the notion, Payet has only been out for a couple of weeks, i think the team needs a few more weeks to adjust

in my opinion Manchester United have their fate in their hands the Premier League title is out of the question but i think it will be ruthless competetion for the rest top 4 spots and we can have any of the teams from the top 6 expect Chelsea out of the Championsleague spots because if any team have a though periode he will fall down so if United pull themselves toguether and if they get little bit lucky they should be in CL next season

About Huddersfield - Brighton, Jamie Paterson of Nottingham Forest and Jordi Hiwula of Manchester City, Huddersfield Town strengthened the offense line and made a good start to the Championship League. Leaving behind an unfortunate season under Chris Hughton, Brighton made an ambitious start with 18 wins in the first 27 weeks of the English Championship League. My guess is Brigton wins.

Manchester united had the chance to even be a champion premier league this season. because I see a great teams of EPL is difficult to guess and and the game is not stable. like a few days ago some great teams almost getting bad results. and we know, the Premier League is a competitive League so anything could happen, regardless big or small teams they can beat each other.

Yeah now they are after not winning at home in the game they should win.  Top 4 is the challenge for them now but who would likely slip up above them? all teams looking strong right now.

You know West ham does not have the spark anymore with Payet being out of the team. So who else do they have to score now? The result solidified this notion.

The best chances came from a freekick and a penalty. The freekick goal was the result of a goalkeeping error, the penalty was down to bad officiating and it should never have been. Be lucky Firmino is off form. My grandmother would've scored that tap in he missed. Chelsea created no clear chances, Liverpool created a number of clear chances. From open play, Liverpool were much better, and I was expecting the opposite. I was expecting Hazard to rip the defense apart; he couldn't get past Clyne. Costa was in Matip's pocket; besides the fraudulent penalty, I don't recall seeing Costa even touch the ball. For a game Chelsea fans were convinced Chelsea will win convincingly, Chelsea didn't even draw convincingly.

Man United is already out of the Premier League title race since last year with their inconsistent form. United needs to finish in the Top 4 to play in the Champions League next season. This is important as having Champions League football can attract good players to join the club. United still has a chance of getting Top 4 but it will be difficult if all the other contenders managed to win their games.

You are right , Man U just kicked it away . I was expecting them to be more aggressive and now they cant get to the top , such poor matches in the last stages by big teams like Man U , Arsenal .
On the other hand , Man city crushed it as they win the match by 4 goal to nill.

Manchester United lost a big opportunity, I wonder how can they stand Mourinho, while they invested tons of money there's no achievement. It looks like Pogba and Zlatan isn't enough for him to win games. From now Manchester United is officially out for championship race. They can't close 14 points gap with Chelsea. Manchester City is the only team that profited this week. Only they won their game in Top 9 teams. Half of the games finished as draw this week.

If chelsea will make at least a draw with Arsenal, almost certainly will win the Premier.
Yesterday wasted opportunity from Manchester United to approach the champion's League group

Gabriel Jesus, the next super star..
As I said so many times before, this guy will become the best striker in the world, and I would personally like to strangle Fernandez and Barca board for not signing him and spending money on useless Gomes and benchwarmer Paco Alcacer. Each player cost more than Jesus, and Barca could have used Munir until January...

Now it is over, his release clause will be impossible to pay...

Neymar told them to get him, it was obvious even to the blind man he will become the worlds best, he already plays like he is 22-24 years old, and he is only 19, the striker for next 15 years.

The matches played recently have made people to believe that Arsenal is now a weak team while Chelsea is in a better position to clinch the title. It is very true that Chelsea have high chances of getting the title this season but remember that we still have several matches to play and the top 5 teams still have a chance to be tops. Arsenal is currently on their top form despite losing to Watford. You never know, this might be a plot to hoodwink Chelsea and later beat them this weekend. It will never be an easy walk in the park for the blues. They were beaten in the first round and beating them in the second round will not be difficult.

Say goodbye for two manchester club, no chance for them. don't forget tottenham and arsenal, they can take chelsea position when chelsea made a foul.

Yup now we got one clear picture of this season looks like Chelsea is going to be top of the list. Yup, they are staying in the first position with 9 points lead. The other 3 places may be we see a lot of competition. Man City and Man United both have a chance to take place in top four lists. I hope Man United will definitely come in top 4. let's see what happen in coming games.

It baffles me that not one commentator questioned Clattenburg's carelessness for the free kick. Mignolet was still at his post and shouting at the players in the wall when the referee blew the whistle. That is totally unacceptable from a professional referee. Mignolet was perfectly in the right protesting the goal, as the referee has the obligation to check if everyone is ready inside the penalty box in case of a direct free kick. I heard the commentators arguing that Mignolet took too much time setting up his wall. That is such a ridiculous argument. Goalkeepers get punished for time wasting with yellow cards - when taking a goal kick, NOT setting up a wall. But this must be the first case where time wasting is punished with a goal. Imagine Clattenburg giving a penalty for it. Even that is not as absurd as this!

I’m also amazed by Gerrard’s reaction. Even after hearing Mignolet's explanation that he hadn't heard the whistle, he kept embroidering on the incident being Mignolet's fault. I mean, it IS perfectly possible that the goalkeeper didn't hear it, as he was shouting at his players when Clattenburg blew the whistle. And his actions after setting up the wall certainly seem to confirm this. Why did Gerrard refuse to believe his former teammate? YNWA, unless you are a Liverpool goalkeeper. I know the Liverpool fans won't like my opinion about the matter, but that was a disappointing reaction from the Liverpool star. And stop saying that a goalkeeper "must always keep his eyes on the ball". No goalkeeper would "always" keep his eyes on the ball, whether it is for a free kick or a corner kick. What goalkeeper would be so stupid not anticipating the players' positioning in front of him in case of a cross or a rebound!

Good!  That will make both Liverpool and Arsenal drop in the table giving Man City the opportunity to finish within the top 4.  Man United also could still finish in the top 4.  Too bad they wasted an opportunity by only drawing vs Hull.  A win would've the ones dropping points on their toes.

Yeah they sure did and I was expecting Man Utd to score a late winner like they have done a few times already this season but Hull defended well and were not going to give up an easy goal or late winner like they did last time they played. Man Utd will find it hard to make the top 4 this season but I won't count them out just yet.
