[Football] English Premier League Betting & Discussion Thread

[pawel7777]

Odds and fixtures for this weekend's round (match day 23):



The most interesting one is obviously Man City Vs Chelsea. If the City wins tomorrow, they will jump back to the top 4 (Champions League zone) at the expense of Chelsea.
Chelsea is not doing great recently, they might have won their last league game but it was a home game against weak Wolves, so not much glory in that.
Man City gave a great show, beating Ipswich 6-0 in an away game, but got their asses whooped in the Champions League by PSG (4-2) so the team's morale may not be that high.
My prediction: 2-2 draw.

In the past few seasons, we have always doubted Chelsea when facing Man City. But things have changed this season. Chelsea is starting to recover this season. Meanwhile, Man City is starting to lose its strength. And this season, I personally have even more doubts about Man City every time this team plays, even when facing weak teams. Because somehow Man City's performance this season is much more difficult for us to predict. Meanwhile, I think Chelsea are almost the same but still better than Man City this season.

But this week there is a match that is easiest for us to predict the outcome of, namely the Liverpool vs Ipswich match. I think Liverpool will actually win quite easily. So I will not hesitate to favorite Liverpool.

I still see many people vote for City this week. I wonder if their past success contributed to this prediction because their recent form is not good enough. That being said, the difference is not that massive. Personally, I'm betting on Chelsea to win the game because I feel like City's mentality has been quite bad recently. Seeing Guardiola in interviews makes me feel like his personal life issues might affect how he manages the dressing room. A break from football can probably help him recover his mental health in the future. Anyway, as long as City buys players they can finish in the top 4 imo.

I do not anticipate a draw in the match between Manchester City and Chelsea. The gap in quality and momentum between the two teams is small, so I anticipate a highly competitive and high-scoring game. Pep will hope to return to winning ways and return to Champions League spot, as you mentioned, and playing at home gives Pep's team an advantage. My prediction is that Manchester City will win, with both teams scoring. Haaland have not been impressive lately but he will be in the score sheet today.

The match between Southampton and Newcastle is a must-win for Newcastle in order to keep their Champions League hopes alive for next season. Southampton is the worst team in the EPL in both attack and defence, so I do not see them pulling off a surprise in this game. Isak will be on the score sheet today.

Liverpool vs Ipswich is not a tough fixture. Liverpool will be in high spirits in this game and will want to win early to avoid last-minute pressure, as they did against Brentford. Liverpool plays at Anfield and has already secured their place in the Champions League round of 16, so they have no concern about the Champions League's final fixture, and their sole focus will be on winning this game and maintaining their point lead in the EPL.

The bad days for Manchester City may not be over yet, because they need to improve the way they play also considering the opponents they will face are also teams that cannot be underestimated.

Chelsea is the next team that Manchester City will face, and although they look to be a better position to win like they always do, Chelsea cannot be underestimated. This second leg fixture will be tougher than the first because this is a Chelsea team that understand better the tactics of the coach and have played together more. Also, Chelsea have some boost in defense with Chalobah and Reece James back.

Yes I agree with you that Chelsea will probably now understand more about what Manchester City will do, because Chelsea understands it better strategically.

In addition, Chelsea will also learn a lot from other teams, how they beat Manchester City. They will also realize that Manchester City is currently in a bad phase so they will try to take advantage of it.

Unfortunately, football doesn't work that way; being terrible at one team does not necessarily imply that you would be bad at another. They could be poor at team A, lose by a large margin, and then go to team B and win. That being said, I'm a huge Chelsea fan, but we've been poor every time we've faced City, and nothing would change today.

Both teams are missing some key players today, it could be he only opportunity to close the gap with Arsenal. Losing today might put us to 6th spot if Newcastle wins, which I believe they will.

Liverpool and Bounemouth just scored while I was typing this...

Today match between Manchester City and Chelsea will be a tough one because both teams have not been consistent with their performance and coming into this game it will really be a hard one for each of them because a win for any of them will be helpful to their cause in the league because it will help them get closer to the top four spots and maintain their stands because at its stands Both teams are highly unstable in the league because today they are up and the next day they are down. This game has been producing lot of goals in previous encounters so let's see how it will go today but a win for any of them will be a plus as They will be looking to improving their standings on the league I think this game is a 50_50 for each of them to win

The games have played until 25th minutes and Manchester City have conceded early from Chelsea after Noni Madueke scoring the goals at 3th minutes, its continues bad trend of The Citizen after losing at Champion League match last three days ago and looks bad if loss three points from Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola make huge rotation for this match although very crucial match, won't loss important match in Champion League make Pep have save Kevin De Bruyne at the bench and firstly new player Abdukodir Khusanov play at the first minute or make his debut at premier league match.

Bournemouth is like being possessed where this team scores a lot of goals with strong teams like last week Newcastle and now Forest who were slaughtered 5-0 at home even though we know Forest is quite a strong opponent but there is nothing in front of Bournemouth because they cannot score a single goal.

This is not as expected actually not where to bet both teams score in this match, but the results are not what we want.

I expected more from Forest but Bournemouth destroyed Nottingham Forest.
Andoni Iraola is a genius, destroys title contenders, and their unbeaten run is now extended to 12 matches.
Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo were outstanding, but Kepa was also good. I respect the performances of all the players.
I hope they don’t cook Liverpool next.

Manchester City won the match at the end with a beautiful come after an equalizer in the first half to end it 1-1. In yhw second half, Haaland goal gave Chelsea the lead on the 68th minutes of the match with a brilliant finish. Foden wrapped up their victory on the 86th minutes with a one on one chance with 1
Robert Sánchez. The match ended 3-1.

What did Chelsea even play throughout? Maresca has defended Sánchez several times in press conferences, but in the end, he keeps making blunders. lol
The Cityzen beat Chelsea in everything, good defensively and on-attack. Stats are looking strong for City.
I hope City takes today's performance as a stepping stone to more solid performances, they have tougher opponents starting with Brugge.

I think Manchester City finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League table this season is quite possible. They showed a domineering performance tonight against Chelsea by winning them 3-1. I think the confidence of the City boys is back in order as both the players are the coach want to let go of their bad moments outside and forge ahead with the hope of reaching the top spot of the Premier League, to qualify for the Champions League next season since they have lost in lifting the Champions League trophy this season.

Chelsea should just forget about the top 4 positions this season. Their performance is no longer getting better. I thought that Enzo was making Chelsea to be a formidable team but my guess was all wrong

There is one thing I love about Manchester City, there ways in matches might be fruitful all the time, there may be some inconsistency and all that but the top 4 is a sure thing for them, it's hard to see them not making top 4 before the end of the season and it seems now, it's already repeating itself again. The first place might be hard for them but not the top of the table.

Chelsea has just show their bad side of them this week again, some weeks they became the talk of the football street but now it's became a laughing things, it's would have been better if they drew that game but instead they lose the game and they are shifting away from the table.

Chelsea ended up being unable to defend the one goal advantage that was gifted to them at the beginning of the game. If Chelsea would do well, changing the goalkeeper should be part of the plan as they try to improve on your attack by signing a better striker. Sanchez has made too many errors this season that I think he should not be considered any more for the first team goalkeeper of Chelsea.
