[Football] English Premier League Betting & Discussion Thread

[koang]

The Premier League title is gone, they hand over the trophy to Manchester City.
(...)

No need to be overly dramatic.

Okay. Tell Mike Arteta, to take some time to heal and come back on Wednesday with full confidence that Arsenal will make it to the Champions League semi-finals, give the fans a reason to smile.
Wednesday is not just another game but will also determine how Arsenal as a team responds after Sunday's miserable defeat
It's time to go to war, closer is not enough. Please...don't lose again.

An impressive win by Chelsea today. They demolished Everton 6-0 with Cole Palmer scoring 4 goals.
Looking at the table, Chelsea is currently 9th, but they only have 31 games played so 1, or even 2 games less than the teams above them.
5th place is out of reach for them but they have a decent chance to attack 6th place and to overtake Man United and Newcastle.

Yes, it was an extraordinary match. Chelsea really destroyed the Everton squad in that match. Pochettino must be very satisfied with his squad in this match. And he is certainly proud of the developments in the Chelsea squad in that match. But this is different for Sean Dyche, who must have been devastated to see the squad he coached suffer a crushing defeat in that match. And I think Everton have the worst defense this time. Usually Everton don't play like this but this time they were really careless in defense. And Chelsea was able to make everyone present at the stadium and support them cheer with joy when they saw the results.

Pochettino was actually pretty angry (rightfully so) because of the drama caused by Jackson and Madueke, who both tried to take the penalty away from Palmer, despite Palmer being designated penalty taker. This was very unprofessional behaviour and was met with a strong reaction from the Chelsea coach:

Pochettino have instruction Cole Palmer is penalty tacker not matter with how many goals he scored before, although he made hattrick before penalty kick but Pochettino never change his instruction for the other player become penalty taker. Actually is not serious problem with Chelsea victory over six goals and Jackson got chance too by scoring the fourth Chelsea goals on 44th minutes.

Chelsea has chance moving up to 7th place and relegated Manchester United to 8th place because Chelsea has one match left and current points with Manchester United remaining three points only.

The joy of winning the team got over the players head and they didn't reason well about the situation but any professional footballer would know that Cole actually deserves to take that penalty because it's easier for him to compete for golden booth after getting among place with the highest goal scorer but they acted childish but I'm glad Pochettino still supported Cole Palmer been the penalty taker so that next year, such wouldn't happen again.

They could still aim even for the 5th place. It's not going to be easy, but that's possible if Chelsea was to win all their remaining games including the match with Tottenham who now occupies 5th spot.
Tottenham is still to play against each team from the top 3 (and against Chelsea) so them losing 10 or more points could happen.
But then again, Chelsea also has outstanding away matches against Arsenal and Aston Villa, so their chances are purely mathematical.

Poch's ball is back, there is a clean sheet, and the team plays wow, though indiscipline with Madueke.
Nicholas Jackson was brilliant. Cole Palmer is the man of the match no words can describe this boy.
And Cole Palmer's quattrick in Chelsea's 6-0 win over Everton sent Palmer straight into the top scorers' list.
The Blues midfielder has now matched Erling Haaland's tally in the Premier League top scorer list with 20 goals.

Well it was a pretty bad incident. But fortunately this did not continue. Because Palmer took the penalty in the end. Pochettino must be angry about this. but he is definitely still proud of the performance of the squad he coached. In 3 days Chelsea will face Man City in the FA Cup. And this will be a good match to see how far Chelsea has progressed. And whether they can continue to play well or not.

Chelsea seemed to be on a rampage this week so they were able to win the match with a landslide score of 6-0. At first I thought Everton would give them quite a tough fight considering Chelsea's inconsistency this season, but they managed to play very well.

But even though they won this game by a landslide, I doubt they will do the same the following week. The reason is that they are always good in one match and in another match they will again not perform according to expectations.

After Man City and Arsenal were eliminated from the Champions League, I don't think Liverpool should continue their quest for a Europa League title. They cannot afford to compete in both leagues now. Since they are already 3 goals down, Klopp might as well use his second squad and preserve all key players for the Premier League.

No Premier League teams participants in UEFA Champion League semifinal round after Arsenal and Manchester City were eliminated last night, its bring positive side the third top standings team will focus for winning domestic league. Left Liverpool participants in Europe League but not longer chance make come back and win aggregate four goals after conceded three goals on the first leg match.
Jurgen Klopp will focus to Premier League race too and improving performance for upcoming match how to secure more close points with Manchester City lead awhile remaining two points left.

I feel sorry for Man City. They dominated Real in every metric other than goals. They had over 4 times more shots on goal than the Spanish team, but they were just down on luck.
For the tournaments like this, a little things can decide on who goes through and who drops out. Man City has nothing to be ashamed of for yesterday's game (maybe except for Silva who could've done better in his penalty attempt).
But now when they can focus entirely on the league (and the FA cup), I don't think anyone will be able to overtake them.

Manchester City have the upper hand in the league, but if they loose focus they could be hurt the most by the team they least expect. Arsenal blew away our chance last GW, we lost the UCL to Bayern also, our players will feel mentally down, and may still loose some upcoming games because we have less to fight for. The premier league this season may finish in the following order, with Manchester City first, Liverpool in second and us in third place.

Man City is indeed unlucky in the UCL this season. The busy schedule also means that Man City may not be as good as before. But now Man City can focus more on the EPL and FA Cup. And in the FA Cup semi-finals tomorrow, maybe Man City will win. Because their opponent is Chelsea and although Chelsea has improved recently, I don't think they can be better than Man City. So the FA Cup might belong to Man City this season.

Chelsea will have the bigger odds to win the game because to the bookies, they are the underdogs and Manchester City have the edge to win. If I will bet on the game I will bet on Chelsea because Chelsea in this season have performed really well against big teams and have disappointed mostly against the smaller teams and that has been their problem. In the FA Cup game against Manchester City, Chelsea recognize this as an opportunity for them to win a trophy and they will not want Manchester City to stop them.
