[Football] English Premier League Betting & Discussion Thread

I think Man City is too much of a favourite, they might have won their last game (finally!) but I think their problems are far from over. I don't think West Ham will win, but there's a big chance they will split points.

If I'm reading it correctly, their form is quite similar. 2 draws for both of them, 2 losses for City, 2 wins for West Ham, and 1 loss for West Ham while City just got their win in the last game. I don't know why the odds are like that considering City managed to win another game but fell to the same form again a few weeks ago, I guess the underlying number is good enough for the bookie to put City as the favorite. I think I'll bite the bullet and predict that West Ham will win this game for no reason at all.

If they remain consistent with their current performance then there is no doubt that Nottingham Forest will indeed be able to get a ticket to the UCL. It's just that competition in the top four will always be tight as usual. So if there is even a slight decline in performance, it will shift a team and leave the top four. Like what happened to Man City this season. But it will be very interesting if in the end Nottingham manages to get a ticket to UCL.

Still not know how many Premier League teams in this season get Champion League slot will the same four teams or get opportunity 5 teams such as Serie A and Bundesliga teams. I think if Premier League get extra slot for participants in Champion League looks have opportunity for Nottingham Forest depend on their consistent performance reach the big four or finish at 5th standings position.
But the premier league have many matches left and difficult for predicting teams performance on second half season always make us surprise exactly the top teams will improve their performance.

Manchester City won again in the previous week, now they will face West Ham. On paper Manchester City is still the favorite to win, but as we saw in the previous match they were also the favorite on paper, but in reality they could not do much and had to accept defeat.

It is quite difficult when predicting a match where the team is still in an unstable state, because all possibilities are still quite large to happen.

Manchester City have good capital for today match against West Ham United after winning from Leicester City last match and slowly their current standings reach to the top fourth position. For the first half match, Manchester City have won 2-0 from own goals and Haaland goal.
Looks for second half not get problem for Man City to secure their winning match and have ambition back to back for winning the premier league match to prepare their position at standings.

I think Manchester City are back to winning ways again because currently they are leading Westham United by 4:1 this is the traditional Manchester City team that every one knows this win will really help them in finding their feet in the league table because currently they are not in the top four spots
I think Manchester City is the only team in the premier League that would have given Liverpool a good run for their money in the premier League title race but currently the game between city and Liverpool is much and it will take a miracle for Manchester City to close in on Liverpool and possibly over take them but today's victory is a nice one and is a step closer to finding them self in the top four in the league table

Dropping points against Fulham, Ipswich and now Crystal Palace from a title contending position to getting out of top 4 in less than 4 weeks is crazy. Danm it! Chelsea those are games we should be winning not dropping points like fools. Tired.

Edit:
Started the season on a high note, now we're back to the level we were last season.

What were you expecting? The players lack the experience to contend for the EPL title yet; they need to have some of the experience like Arsenal has before they can really be taken seriously. Liverpool have that experience even more than Arsenal does; that is why they remain favorites to win the EPL this season.

Your name should be the best definition of what we should describe Manchester City with "bounce back" I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the team has been playing recently but at the same time, I'm not shock because the Manchester City we know before now use to do this regularly, win is in their performance and happy to see them doing good, Guardiola can now smile in interviews again.

Haaland is beginning to spark up, seems he doesn't want Salah to take that Golden booth this season from him but it's better even if they are unable to win the Premier League, they can still take a honorable award as been one of the trials and not failures.

Never expected them to win the title but at first I thought we were really going to have some serious run of games and making the Top 3 easily at the end of the season. The lack of experience is beginning to play a big role in our recent games

Chelsea are well positioned to finish in the top four; they have had a run of bad games, but they will return to goal-scoring and winning form. I predict the top four this season will be Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City in whatever order.

In the Arsenal game against Brighton, Btrighton scored a penalty kick. Arsenal now struggling to try win the game.

It looks terrible that Chelsea has fall back to become the shadow of themselves again after giving tremendous performance at the beginning of the season. I thought that this poor performance of theirs, it's thing of the past since Maresca has taken over as Chelsea coach. They will now compete for the league trophy. All that it's not gonna be true again because Chelsea is no longer formidable. Their defense and frontline is very weak

I have to feel sorry for Man United because it's looking like another defeat against an inspired Liverpool side. After Arsenal and Chelsea dropped points in their recent matches, I'm pretty sure LFC is looking forward to extend their lead and MU will be their next victim.

On the Forest side, they are like the Leicester 2.0 but they peaked at the wrong season. I still hope they extend their win streak.

It looks like Man City is back and hopefully the worst is behind them. A convincing 4-1 win over West Ham although I'm slightly concerned about West Ham having more shots on goal.
Unfortunately it's too late for the Citizens to hope for defending their Premier League title, but at least they should be able to put up a good fight for the top 4.

Their next 2 league games against Brentford and Ipswich shouldn't be that hard, but they will have a streak of very challenging games starting from the end of Jan:
Chelsea (H)
Arsenal (A)
Newcastle (H)
Liverpool (H)
Tottenham (A) - Man City got humiliated in their last game losing to Tottenham 0-4 at home
Nottm Forest (A)

That 1.5 months will be a true test for Guardiola's team.

Man United isn't in a good condition, they often got a defeat. Sure, I also think Liverpool will defeat Man United. Moreover the match will be held in Liverpool home, it won't be a comfortable place for Man United players. Considering the current conditions of these teams, it is very clear that Liverpool will have a bigger chance to win the match. I even think Liverpool will score more than 2 goals. But, surprising result is always possible. We don't know that Man United may be lucky in this match.

Brighton vs Arsenal

Updated based on result:
Quite disappointing result from Arsenal which only ended in a draw against Brighton. Although Brighton is indeed not a small club and indeed often troubles many of its opponents. but in this match, even though Brighton got a goal from a penalty kick, they were also able to provide a very tight fight for Arsenal. and even they did it with many attacks. well, this draw result made Arsenal's position even more squeezed by Nottm Forest. Oh yes fortunately Chelsea also drew so that their position remained the same there.

And for the development of Man City in the end it is getting better. Pep is starting to really get back to making the squad gain its confidence again as a solid and strong club. yes at least in the last 2 matches, Man City won, even this time they got a big win.

West Ham is not a weak team, but Man City was able to win 4-1 from West Ham. Haaland also appeared stunning this time, especially with 2 goals from him which are really that good.
