Nottingham Forest is currently in a losing position. The game is dominated by Bournemouth. Although the first half has not ended and the second half is still there, Bournemouth will try to maintain this temporary advantage until the match ends according to statistics.

This match for me is very exciting compared to the Wolverhampton vs Arsenal match which is still a draw or the Liverpool vs Ipswich Town match which is already ahead of Liverpool 1-0.
Newcastle has managed to reply to Southampton's goal 1-1.

edit: The Southampton vs Newcastle score has changed.

Nottingham Forest have been pretty good this season, they've suprisenly won lots of games and it got them to the top 4 but im suprised by the outcome of this current match against Bournemouth, i didn't expect it to be easy for them cause Bournemouth are a tough team to play against but seeing that Bournemouth is leading by a goal and even scored before 10mins into the game is really suprising this is going to be a tough one for the forests and they'll need more effort to bounce back and win.

 Well there's still much time about 30+ mins or more so it's enough time to get a comeback, although Bournemouth are seriously dominating and thereby making the chances of Nottingham Forest very slim, they've even added another goal to the previous score making it 2-0 currently, it's going to be a tough one for Nottingham and the least am expecting from the is a draw, if only it would be possible. As for Newcastle i was pretty sure they were going to win.

[hahay]

Playing with only 10 players since the 43rd minute, really made it difficult for Arsenal to score a goal in this match. I think that shouldn't have happened, considering that Wolves at this moment are also not in a good trend. Thus, Arsenal should still be able to score a goal in this match but yes, because Wolves also managed to play better in the second half, it might make this match end in a 0-0 draw. Indeed, there is still enough time for them to score  a goal in this match, but it seems that if Wolves can consistently put pressure and or attack, then maybe Wolves will score a goal and will make Arsenal lose at Molineux Stadium, who knows.

Today match is not easy for the Nottingham Forrest there game seem to be a surprise match against weak team, which nobody expected that they can able to having even single goal, but indeed with the Bournemouth much efforts there where able to lead the Nottingham Forrest with 3 goals; and with the Nottingham Forrest currently condition I don’t they can get even 1 goal to equalize back. Because game has already come to an end, all their efforts have already wast right from the first half of match there’s no any hope hope for them now that they can bounce back and win this match, it will be a difficult thing for them: Bournemouth have take the lead already.

Among the few matches that I have seen today in the Premier League, the match between Nottm Forest and Bournemouth seems bad to me because it was unbelievable that Nottm Forest would suddenly perform so poorly in this match. They showed weakness in all areas today, nowhere did their players perform properly. This team is in a very strong position in the points table yet today they performed very poorly even they didn't manage to score a single goal. Based on such an incredible performance by Bournemouth, it can be said that their team's defensive players and attacking players have worked hard today, even this team has led in every field. Bournemouth managed to win this match by an incredible 5-0 goals.

What's up with these teams against Bournemouth recently? First they destroyed Newcastle away by 4-1 and now they demolished Nottingham Forest home by 5-0.  

They have been able to beat really tough opponents in an incredible way you see. I checked whether there is any manager change for Bournemouth right away. But I saw Andoni Iraola still keeping his job. Impressive work by him and his players!    These wins carried them to the 6th position for now but with an extra game played though. But they would finish the week as the 7th the worst in case Manchester City win today which is still very okay. Bournemoth are having a really solid season for themselves, aren't they?

[SatoPrincess]

Looking at the league table. Liverpool have a good advantage in the title race as things stand and it looks like Arsenal are not serious about catching up for now because on occasions Liverpool have slipped and I expected Arsenal will jump on the opportunity but they blew it again and again. Nottingham Forest have been getting surprising wins this season but I still have doubt they will stay consistent till the end if the season. I’m confident Arne Slot will take every point possible now and keep increasing the gap from second place.

Among the few matches that I have seen today in the Premier League, the match between Nottm Forest and Bournemouth seems bad to me because it was unbelievable that Nottm Forest would suddenly perform so poorly in this match.

The match was a surprising one for everyone, and most people never expected a loss from Nottingham Forest, but unfortunately Bournemouth humiliated them by scoring 5 goals in the match. What surprises most is not that Nottingham Forest lost the match, but the amount of goals that they conceded is just surprising, a club that has been playing well since has ended up conceding so many goals against a team like Bournemouth.

Most people that placed bets on them will definitely lose their bets, because from the way Nottingham Forest has been playing since the beginning of the season, they lost and conceded so many goals against a team that they are not even supposed to lose to. Let’s just hope they will continue performing well in their coming matches.

Nottingham Forest are really struggling to maintain the championship league zone. If they can continue with their good performance, then they should be able to achieve that, but they will just have to stop losing matches unnecessarily. Teams like Bournemouth are supposed to be used to accumulate points and not lose points.

The match between manchester city vs chelsea is being played at the moment with chelsea leading 1-0 at the moment, manchester city who previously looked weak in defence against PSG in the UCL actually immediately played 2 of their new players in today's match, khusanov who just joined manchester city immediately had his debut match against chelsea, but instead he made a blunder which eventually led to a goal in the 3rd minute, After the two fatal mistakes he made today it looks like he started to get nervous in the match, I think today Guardiola made a big mistake by playing him against Chelsea, young players like him should make their debut in not crucial match or maybe towards the end of match, because every new player will obviously be very nervous about the atmosphere of an English league match, especially in a big match like today.

Khusanov debut today :
2'—Error leads to goal
4'—Yellow card
Welcome to the Premier League, Abdukodir Khusanov

I think that shouldn't have happened, considering that Wolves at this moment are also not in a good trend. Thus, Arsenal should still be able to score a goal in this match but yes, because Wolves also managed to play better in the second half, it might make this match end in a 0-0 draw.

Arsenal finally got a goal in the 74'. Wolves got a red card in the 70' which made their defense slack and this gave Arsenal the edge. R. Calafiori got his winning goal in a crutical time. Arsenal tried to have held Wolves down with 10 men for almost 24' and when the game got normalised with equal number of players we saw Arsenal take their winning goal.

Wolves gave good pressure to Arsenal but their pressure wasn't enough for a win. If they had taken advantage of the one man down since 43' maybe they would have scored first and the game might have ended in a draw or they would have succeeded in defending their goal till the end. But Arsenal ended up outsmarting them.

Chelsea have proven me right because I held the opinion that the would win tonight. They are leading by one goal and first half is over. Although Manchester City scored through Marmoush but the goal was disallowed as it was offside. I expect Chelsea to maintain this goal by scoring one more goal and falling back to the defense, this way they are sure of collecting the three points. If they allow Manchester City to eqalize the goal in the second half, that will be a major problem for them.

The game has kicked off. Wolves have a new manager, they are looking to improve and get back to winning ways. Against Arsenal the new manager will want to make an impression so I wouldn’t advise that Wolves be underrated in this game though Arsenal have the better team and stronger side in this fixture. It is expected that Arsenal should win against all odds, I hope they don’t bottle it today.

It's not a good peformance from Arsenal. They were so struggling to score, but how fortunate they were after wolves's stupid player got a red card. They'd not be winning if Wolves was not getting a red card. It's a massive win for them, though they lost one player, and got several matches suspension.

They always performed badly in attack, and the defence has always become the only thing helped them a lot. I can see them to secure a spot to the UCL, but not for winning the league.

They may be hard to win against team stronger than wolves if they kept play like that. It must be a wake up call for Arteta to concern his team's attack.

It was a tough one for Arsenal, they were the favourites to win, but Wolves didn't make it easy for them, they struggled all through and even got a red half at the 1st half making them to play with 10 men in the 2nd half, that was a big opportunity for Wolverhampton and i felt they'll make good use of it and find the back of the net but all efforts didn't lead to any goal, well it helped them gian and retain possession but it wasn’t very useful since Arsenal still managed to score the winning and only goal even while being pressured. I wonder why they'll even waste the opportunity of playing against a team that are one man down, got a red card as well and gave the opposition team an opportunity to score, it shows that they still got a long way to go, they're poor defensively and Arsenal would've comfortably won if not for the red card offense in the 1st half. If only the scored 1st maybe more pressure would've been on Arsenal and they would scored again but then their carelessness was a plus to Arsenal cause they made good use of their chance and won.

Arsenal deserved to win the game but the red card didn't let them score an early goal and win the match, Arsenal tried their best to make sure they got the three points and they got it with the goal from Calafiori, I think sometimes Premier League referees need to go and check a Var because giving a red card because that Red card decision is to hash, the red card affect Arsenal and thank God they did not give up and score a goal to get the points they want.

I see Liverpool as the title winner of the season since the beginning of the league, Liverpool's performance this season is very good and j don't think there is a team that can compete with them to win the league title again, Liverpool is ahead of all Premier League teams with huge points that can be easy to achieve, the only way to stop Liverpool is to defeat them and drop points and we all know that it is not going to happen because there is no any team that can defeat Liverpool currently.

This is how it is now, Chelsea has lost the lead. Erling Haaland has given the Cityzens the lead. So Chelsea would have to drop points and the hope of winning the Premiership is gradually fading. Enzo Maresca has lost the winning touch we saw a few months ago. This will be a great win for City and it might make the beginning of a new phase.

Liverpool's performance and results so far strongly suggest that they're the favorites to win the English Premier League title this season but I don't agree with your assertion that Arsenal aren't serious in catching up with Liverpool and my counter opinion is backed by the Gunner's performance today in their game at Wolves. Arsenal were down to 10 men in the first half but were strong and resilient enough to deny Wolves any chance of scoring till the 70th minute when Wolves' Gomes was shown the red card before they finally got the only goal of the game to claim all three points.
I know it'll be very difficult Arsenal to catch up with Liverpool but their performance today gives me the impression that they're very much ready to do anything to catch up with the league leaders

[LUCKMCFLY]

So yes, basically Amorim certainly still needs time and the reality is, even though Manchester United has failed to recover in the Premier League. At least, Amorim has still managed to make Manchester United have good results in the Europa League, and I think this is still a stage of the recovery process, maybe nextseason Amorim will really succeed in  making Manchester United compete in  the top four  of the Premier League standings, who knows.

Yes, it's just that things are very strange, Amorim started off very well, but after 4 games he changed everything and implemented a less aggressive football, and changed many players, he never put Rashford out to play again, in fact they are saying that he is going to go to Barcelona, ​​which wouldn't be bad, but what I can say is that Amorim has to make the changes quickly, because he is putting the team in danger, he is making it descend a lot, they are not consistent, the truth is that it surprises me, I hope they improve and do a better job, I like this club, it has always been one of my favorites, but I see it very deteriorated.

Chelsea end up disappointing most of their fans today with the defeat from Manchester City. They were one goal ahead of Manchester City but they failed to defend the goal and conceded three goals to give Manchester City the win today. Chelsea were on a series of wins some months back and we were already seeing them as a team that will finish in the top four of the table or even has a chance to compete in the top four of the table but unfortunately, their inconsistency has caused them a lot and would have to fall back below the top four of the table. Manchester City has now reached them in the top four and with this, I don’t see them going down this position again, they’re good at keeping consistency in the league, so we wait to see how they thrive as they’ve gotten themselves back to the top four position in the league. A good performance and a great win from them today.

Very disappointing game from Chelsea today it is now as if they are being cursed when playing against Manchester City because I can’t even recall the last they win against Manchester City. They had the advantage to win this game after scoring an early goal by forcing a mistake out of city’s defense but they failed to take control of the game. Chelsea still look inexperienced and I was more disappointed in Levi Colwill’s performance today and also Sanchez was even worse, he just keeps making mistakes every match day and his decisions keeps weighing the team down.

The approach was very poor after taking the lead and it made Manchester City get their balance back. Nicolas Jackson have been a huge problem for Chelsea and it is very clear now that they need a more clinical striker. With a striker better than Jackson Chelsea wouldn’t have lost all the games they lost since December and they would probably be challenging Liverpool for the title up till now. Bringing in a better striker should be a priority for them now and I would suggest a top striker either Victor Osimehn or Victor Gyokeres.

It is never easy to play with a man down. Despite Arsenal’s efforts, they struggled to create meaningful chances as Wolves dominated possession and applied pressure. However the game took a dramatic turn in the 70th mins when Wolves were also reduced to 10 men following a reckless challenge. Their persistence paid off in the 74th mins when Riccardo Calafiori capitalized on a rebound inside the box finding the back of the net to give arsenal the lead. I think the goal boosted the confidence of the arsenal squad and they managed to hold into their advantage for the remainder of the match .
