The second week of the EPL will also present an interesting match, Tottenham vs Man United on 19 August. Man City vs Newcastle on 20 August, it will be interesting to wait whether these clubs will also draw.

Between Tottenham vs Man United in my opinion Man United can still excel but the potential is slim and Tottenham can still control the game even without Harry Kane. As for Man City against Newcastle, so far Man City remains the superior club. But Newcastle has changed a lot, especially since qualifying last season with a Champions League ticket, they will definitely use the match against Man City as an important match to study the opponent's game. I'm not going to take it lightly that Newcastle are quite capable of holding a draw, it will have a very positive impact on Eddie Howe's squad.

Seriously, the two matches can be hard to predict, especially Tottenham against Manchester United, because in their openly Premier League matches, both teams didn't perform to our expectations; the performances were not impressive at all, so seeing the two teams playing against each other next week, I am not even encouraged to bet on their matches, but from my observations, Tottenham may be a little bit stronger than Manchester United based on their performances I saw last week against the Wolves. So the chances of any team winning are not clear. Honestly, judging them from their last week's game, I will see that Tottenham may win or draw the next match against Manchester United.

As for Manchester City's match against Newcastle, both teams had good performances, especially Newcastle. The game may be tough, but I believe by all means Manchester City will try all it can to win the game and come out with three points, especially since the match will be played at their home. If Manchester City does not later win the match, I am not expecting less than a draw from them because, despite Newcastle's performance, I don't think their standards are up to Manchester City's own. Newcastle won and scored up to five goals, which should not be used to judge that they were better than Manchester City.

I think the match against Tottenham this Saturday is going to be a big test for Erik Ten Hag this season against on of the big teams and fans would be expecting to see a better performance than the one they had against Wolves they narrowly escaped a defeat and were rescued by Rafael Varanes header, if im to judge by their team performance in their last matches I'll say Tottenham stand a better chance but when it comes to the squad Manchester united have a better a squad all Erik Ten Hag just need to do is to boost the moral of the team to gain confidence when they're playing especially from the midfield area, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount seemed lost in the last match even Casimiro looked so weak and allow the ball to get past him easily, however i feel it would be a win or draw for United against Tottenham.

Newcastle seemed very tough this season and i was suprised of their 5-1 victory against Aston Villa their new signing Tonali is leaving the dream and fastly adapting to his new team and scored on his debut, fans would be looking to see if he'll replicate such form against a big team like Manchester City, City on the other hand would be playing without one of their key player Kelvin Debruyne that got injured during their opener against Burnley but Gerdiola doesn’t depend much on one player to win matches so he'll seek other Alternatives to replace Debruyne, the match is very tough for me to decide due to the present form of Newcastle but i know Gerdiola would try to avoid a defeat in that match.
