Liverpool should definitely rethink this whole Isak thing. Newcastle is not willing to sell anyways, and by the looks of it Ekitike plays amazing at that position, why put him out of position just to get Isak? Don't get me wrong, Isak is a great player, but they already have someone there, so why get someone else?

Like for example, their only original left wing is Gakpo, and don't get me wrong he is a great player but they should get at least a bench player there, or someone better if they can afford to, that should be fine.

I understand that it is not that great for them to not have Diaz, and unfortunately Jota passed away, so they should not look at striker anymore, and start looking at other positions that they need. Or better yet, stop transfers, because they already made enough, and they look good enough.

I think you gave a perfect example of why they need a good player at the left hand side which I honestly agree they should get but right after selling Nunez and after Diaz died I think another striker too is definitely needs in that Liverpool team. Liverpool are looking at players that cannot only play as center forward alone but also play the as a winger and you see both Ekitike and Isak they can both play those positions still. Liverpool were having Jota who can play center forward and also Nunez who can play as a winger and that’s what they want to replace. look at it now, if Ekitike gets injured now and they get an out and out winger then Gakpo will definitely have to go back been the center striker again and that position hasn’t worked out well for him since his arrival into the premier league.

The bookies is not wrong as they favoured Arsenal to win they have a more organized team Manchester United is trying to get their team together with the new boys they have in the team Amorim will try to experiment with the new players to see if they can blend into his pattern and if that works for him then we may see the team getting more reduced odds when they face better teama. Arsenal odd is expected because they are still the better side but United still has a way of beating Arsenal if they can face them with equal strength in due time they show will begin and the two team will prove the changes they have made.

In as much as I see Manchester United actually having a good team now I fully agree with the bookmarkers, first head to head arsenal tops that now for the last 15 games, then this is a new Manchester United with almost the attacking line been a new one whereas Arsenal has almost similar squad with little changes which were expected. So in terms of coordination the Arsenal team have it but if Manchester United can get together and understand each other I will bet for this Manchester United side against Arsenal all season

Sunderland immediately made waves after securing promotion to the Premier League. This marked their first match in English football's top flight after eight seasons in the Champions League. Remarkably, they pulled off a major upset by crushing West Ham 3-0. Sunderland put on an impressive display at the Stadium of Light, managing to dominate the match with a limited lineup. West Ham who performed quite well last season, were unable to overcome the pressure, ultimately succumbing to a humiliating result thanks to goals from Eliezer Mayenda, Daniel Ballard, and Wilson Isidor.
This result was clearly beyond predictions because on paper West Ham was superior to Sunderland, but this is football, there are always unexpected surprises during the match.

Doing a small highlight from City's game again Wolves. They came with new squad, and their new players are scoring. It's a very good start to me consider the new players can played like they already had years of chemistry with their old players. They dominated the possession, and actively defending at the same time.

Haaland scored two, Tijjie one goal and one assist, and Cherki one goal. You know how positive their aura after all of their new players scored. It means they are doing successful transfer especially for Tijjie. I can't believe they get him only for 50m, which is so bargain.

I will put him as the second favorite to win EPL title instead of Arsenal.

4 shots on target 4 goals after 15 shots overall, I would say Manchester City were clinical in front of goal having converted their shots on target. Last season decline was really felt by the team and this season they are going to make amends for what happened to them last season. Funny enough, I personally rate Manchester City to perform better than Arsenal this very season.

Manchester City won the last two matches against Wolves by a narrow margin. We saw Manchester City win 1-0 at home and 2-1 away. But this season, City performed well in away matches. City started the season brilliantly. They won by a huge margin of 4-0. Haaland scored two goals. However, Reijnders' performance was memorable. This new midfielder of Manchester City scored one goal and one assist. Reijnders was successful in the first match in the City jersey. Guardiola has managed to find a suitable midfielder for his squad. Guardiola has probably found a suitable replacement for De Bruyne

Manchester City is indeed an incredible team especially with Pep in it as the head, last season was a real set back and some people already started writing Manchester City off just after one bad season, it's still a funny scenario to me. I know some people will still say it's just Wolves, lol.

I expected the match to be won by Manchester city, am sure Manchester city won’t want what happened to them last season to repeat itself, they won’t be joking with any match which they are playing right now, and they going to do everything possible to win most of the weak teams which they will be playing. Manchester city signed some players which they believe will improve the teams performance, and Pep Guardiola will do everything possible to win the premier league title this season, since he messed up last season.

Guadiola have fully comeback to there best form, because with how they perform against wolves was very great. If they will continuing performing well like that am sure they will probably achieve the Premier League this season, everyone believes that Manchester City will be the favorite to achieve three point against wolves. because they are not in a better shap and Manchester City have more key players more then them he will always be difficult for wolves to get the opportunity to defeat Manchester City in any matches they meet.

Haaland is back to is goal scoring again he as started scoring goals in start of the season with a wonderful goals and am already thinking that he will get the golden boot this time again. Guadiola as build is team already and he won't let what happens to him last season to repeat is self again. The players that Guadiola have sigh they have be doing good, in my opinion I don't think Manchester City will have difficulty to win matches this season, because they have everything this time and can challenge every clubs and perform well in all competitions.

First Liverpool in Community Shield Trophy now Chelsea in first game of season Crystal Palace is surely going to be team to watch in this coming season because they are giving their best in these early games their defense and attack is having good balance.

Chelsea with greater ball possession not able to have any advantage which is good work from Crystal Palace because it's never been easy to have performance against a team which is winner of Club World Cup and playing at home. In second game of the day, Nottingham Forest is also doing good job and leading game by score of 3–1 against Brighton a good start for them challenges are waiting to them in coming games.

Yeah, their attack improved a lot. They also not really concerned by missing Rodri on their line up because of there is Nico Gonzalez as his backup.

Other than that, I also hope your wish will come true. Really miss when they played so competitive in EPL. I hope they get rid of their dull performance last season.

[Adbitco]

Today is the day Manchester United gets to be tested and really see if the new signings will be of a great impact and Netflix FC also has something to prove as a new season has began 

I know bookies have Arsenal as favourites, but there is just something about the Red devils when you write them off.

Prediction Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal.

Btw is Onana available or maybe other keeper will take his place 

Arsenal won the match which was the most important thing but they didn't really play anything in the game. They were just lucky that Manchester United players were not clinical in front of goal, how can they have 7 shots on target with zero goal to accompany it. Earlier I had predicted a win for Manchester United, I thought they would have made use of the high odds given to them.

The game between Chelsea and crystal palace ended in a goalless draw at Stamford bridge, it shows how keenly the game is being contested among the two teams whom I think are really in a good form currently considering that the both side have played in two finals and have recently won two trophies amongst them within the last few months, for me it was a good game for the both side, although Chelsea dominated major part of the game but crystal palace sticked to their game plan and held Chelsea to a Draw game. Although crystal palace had a goal which was overturned by the VAR. Chelsea would have hoped to win their first game of the season in Stamford bridge but crystal palace defended well and make sure they get a share of the point at Stamford Bridge.

I see there is an improvement in Manchester United game despite they lost to Arsenal at Old Trafford, they try so hard to make an equalizer but all failed but i am impressed with the way they played that's to say they will perform more better this season then last season if they can put thesame energy when they play other teams.

Arsenal also did well to have defended till full time their goalkeeper made some good saves and their defenders never allowed any mistake that will deny them the 3 point at Old Trafford.

It was an impressive and fascinating performance from Manchester United today and if they continue this way maybe top four could be a nice business for them this season, Arsenal did well in defense which gave them this victory, it was an expected over 2.5 goals match between the two teams gamblers will be disappointed seeing that the game ends in just 1 goal on the full time, this season is going to be. Tougher compared to last season in the English premiere league from the look of things although the beginning may not necessarily determine the end but let see how it goes.

Indeed, it was an unbelievable performance by Manchester united considering what they have been doing last season, you can imagine Manchester united possessing arsenal that use to play possessive game like Barcelona I mean it is really a big and nice improvement for Manchester united and if they can continue improving I believe they will finish well in this season and kudus to arsenal for their victory and  they really defend well and that was there luck else Manchester united would have scored more than a goal and lastly I don't like the time Amorim started doing sub most especially the time he brought Amad dialo.

[Velvet78]

We saw Mbeumo - Mount - Cunha trio in the attacking line today. I was waiting for Sesko on the front though. I can't say the general performance of the Red Devils was bad. They played quite well actually.

The only player I didn't like was Altay Bayindir. They conceded that goal because of his own mistake.    They could have got at least one point. But they should have been able score at least a single goal after all those attempts too...

Very impressive indeed!

But I feel United hasn't found the right team that gets the job done and unfortunately they got more players in the frontline than needed which was unnecessary and waste of resources! They should have invested some of that money into their midfield just to balance the team, otherwise great performance, and loves what I saw from Ahmad and  Mbeumo

Arsenal also did well to have defended till full time their goalkeeper made some good saves and their defenders never allowed any mistake that will deny them the 3 point at Old Trafford.

Man of the match definitely has to go to Arsenals goalkeeper because United really threw everything they had but it was not enough.

Looking at the match from start to finish, although Manchester United performed impressively, another aspect worth evaluating is the players' ability to find attacking positions and capitalize on opportunities. United had numerous clear chances, but they squandered them. I saw Cunha struggle to score, dribbling past the opposition defense, but once in the opponent's penalty box, he had no choice but to pass to his teammates, forcing him to shoot from a tighter angle, ultimately squandering the opportunity and failing to convert it into a goal.

This match provided an important lesson for the team and their coach. If they can improve their teamwork and harmony, Manchester United will have a truly lethal attack.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I'm not actually saying Liverpool can not win crystal palace rather I'm saying we can not judge based on what Liverpool played other team we all know how funny and unpredictable football can be a times but anything is possible in the game of football.

It's very Possible that anything will happen in the pre-season games , we can't rely on it, but I've Undoubtedly seen that Liverpool has an exceptional team, I like it a lot and they're doing very well, I can't believe they have great potential and the coach has put his team together very well, but we still have to be Vigilant at the start of the season in the PL.

I Respect what you say but that's not the idea, The idea was to have won but they didn't achieve it I don't think they'll finish 4th if they continue like this They're going to look bad anyway they have Liverpool, they have City, Newcastle, who is hungry the team is lacking and lacking As a MU fan, I would be Worried.

No matter how many opportunities they have, if they can't score goals, it will ultimately be in vain, and that's what Manchester United experienced in their first match.

Perhaps despite still being under the shadow of criticism, the loss to Arsenal can still be tolerated because, aside from this being the first week, we also know that the two clubs are fairly evenly matched in terms of strength, and Arsenal has been in much better condition in recent seasons.

However, if Manchester United continues to allow this situation to persist, and they fail to secure victories as the season progresses, this will clearly be dangerous. As you mentioned, Manchester United desperately needs wins, and this has become an absolute necessity given their current circumstances. They are under pressure to prove themselves this season after last season’s disastrous performance.

Manchester United really played well today, I never expected such a good performance from Manchester United today, if I will be honest, Manchester United really played well today, they created chances, but they couldn’t convert any of the chances which they created into goal. I will say Arsenal were just so lucky in the match, Manchester United played better than Arsenal in the match, the luck which Arsenal had today was just the early goal which they scored.

I wasn’t really impressed with the way Arsenal played today, Arsenal midfield was just so weak in the match, which made it easy for Manchester United to penetrate into Arsenal Defense today. Manchester United created lots of chances today, but they missed all the opportunities which they had today, seriously Manchester United deserved to win today, they played better, and I will say everyone were just surprised with the way Manchester United played in the match.

The match could have actually have the turn out of Chelsea match if not for the goal, actually if there was any means for them to had averted the goal there is no way Arsenal would have won Manchester United because the kind of strategy they give Arsenal would have just make the match to become goalless but perhaps that's how the match was meant to be by Arsenal having three points and Manchester United not getting any but that's just the first and there are many to use and meet up the gap they kept, Fulham might definitely close this gap for them because Manchester United could win them.

I understand that it is not that great for them to not have Diaz, and unfortunately Jota passed away, so they should not look at striker anymore, and start looking at other positions that they need. Or better yet, stop transfers, because they already made enough, and they look good enough.

Well for now, it's only one hand we have all watched that features Ekitike in Liverpool jersey playing for them, let's wait until his played numerous games for the team first before we can conclude that his suitable for the team. I still feel that the reason why Liverpool is still chasing, is that Isak is a proven striker in the league and their comes a time when and where a player starts having difficulty, these ones knows how to deal with such situations.
