[Football] English Premier League Betting & Discussion Thread

I am also quite impressed with Chelsea's improvement this season, because they are a team with a sluggish performance in the previous few seasons and even with a lot of money they did not get anything.

But this season they can rise, and this is also thanks to their coach who slowly sees the potential in the squad. I look forward to their performance next season.

I'm curious why did you say this?

Chelsea has been poor this season to me and there are decision Enzo Maresca made in the beginning of the season that we critise him about and it came back to hunt him. We saw that he took Trevor Chalobah back but we can say definitely he did regret loaning out Petrovic. Let's how everything if they can finish in top four.

Everton 1  vs  1 Arsenal

I thought Arsenal with their main players back could be really good at that achievement. but the final result against Everton this time was really disappointing. a draw, it seems they can indeed if you look at the statistics of the match. but that's what happens on the field, there are always unexpected surprises. whether it's intentional or not. what is clear is that Arsenal are not optimal this time and they played quite badly.

With 8 matches left I don't think Nottingham Forest is also safe at the 3rd position, they have only 6 and 7 points lead over Man City and Newcastle respectively, so there is still quite a long way to go for all teams between 3rd and 7th positions as we could still see a lot swings between these positions. Man City especially aren't just going to give up that easily or go down without a decent fight.

Believe me Nottingham Forest is safer than you think because nothing Manchester City will do will make them have more than the point Nottingham Forest has, while you are even thinking that, have you seen that Chelsea has brought them down from the number they were before the march?, what you will consider is that right now apart from Nottingham forest being on that position they are the third to fourth best team on the premier League, I'm adding Manchester City to be the fourth because they might still have strength than Nottingham forest but they cannot build point more than them because Nottingham forest is not ready to loss match from the remaining eight.

I guess you didn’t picture Nottingham Forest losing to Aston Villa and yet it happened, If. Chelsea and Man City should win their respective matches today, then they’ll close the gap between them Forest making the fight for the 4th place a even more close one. As I’ve said before, the race in my opinion is still a wide open, and nothing is guaranteed just yet.

A draw's like a cuppa gone cold—better than nothing, but you still want more.
The same mistake Arsen Wenger used to make is what Arteta repeated today..
He kept the key player on the bench because of UCL, but at the end of the day, they lost the League as well as UCL.
And let's stop blaming external parties. They had their part to play, don't get me wrong. But if Arsenal were good enough, they would have gone to win this by two goals. Arsenal was flat and inconsistent. Arsenal is not good enough this season.

Its the Manchester Derby (Manchester United vs. Manchester City) today. Haaland will be absent from this game, but Marmoush will be the striker, and he has been a threat to opponents since joining the City team.

Manchester City's performances have improved, whereas Manchester United has been inconsistent, losing 1:0 to Nottingham Forest in midweek while City won 2:0 against Leicester, though a struggling team.

This will be a close game, but I believe City will get the three points. City will hope to finish in the top four league positions after being eliminated from the Champions League.

I judge overall, I will not deny that they still make mistakes, but the mistakes they make are not as big as in previous seasons. When they can compete at the top even though they are far from the top of the standings, I will still consider them quite good.

I also do not judge based on this season alone, but I compare it with the previous season, and I am sure you also see the same thing if you compare it with previous seasons, even though in terms of points last season was still higher.

Liverpool's loss means nothing. Only an absolute disaster could prevent them from winning the league. Despite the loss to Fulham, they are still 11 points ahead of the 2nd Arsenal, who also failed to win against Everton.
Arsenal's 2nd place is also not under much threat, with 5 points gap between them and Nottm Forest, who also have a nice, 4-points advantage over 4th Chelsea.

The real battle will be fought for the 4th place, the last one in the Champions League zone. Currently, we have 4 teams competing for it, all within 3 points from each other: Chelsea, Man City, Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Newcastle has played 2 games less than the other teams, if they were to win both, they would be only 1 point behind the 3rd Nottm Forest.

The derby match is over and it ended goalless. I was surprised to see United pressuring and attacking City defense in the second half, while City was busy defending Lolz. I never expected to see United draw this game because of the way everyone was hyping City to win the match. I didn't bother to place any bet because I wasn't sure that City can win United. Both teams shared points.

The other day I was saying that the break seems beneficial to all teams at the top of the table but now every one of them dropped points I guess it's rare to see teams win two games in just two or three days span. This is the perfect chance for Newcastle to overtake three teams and move into fourth position.

Newcastle will immediately move up the rankings if they manage to collect full points in today's match. But I really don't dare to bet this time. Because I saw too many match results that were beyond predictions. Several draws and also defeats of the underdog team really make us lose a lot of our bets. So I had to pause for a moment. This season is really tight.

City have already lost it all thos season and what they should be preparing for is to make the team back to standards by next season. This involves buying good players to add to the ones that wouldn't be leaving after the end of this season. Pep gat a lot pf work to do because is like his strategy is fading just like Mourinho faded.

I think so, you're absolutely right. Now Pepe has to reinvent himself. What he did this season was a real disaster. Personally, I think that City's plan this season is for them to keep as things they shouldn't do and mistakes they shouldn't make. I'm doubtful because with this season's performance, many players will want to leave City (and I understand them). If there's a restructuring, it has to be done from the ground up.

It is difficult to say if Chelsea will finish in the top 4 this season. If Chelsea draws in any of their remaining matches, I am sure the 4th position will be taken away from them immediately from either Newcastle, Manchester City, or Aston Villa.

Chelsea is in the same match points as Newcastle(53 points) because Newcastle won their match while they drew theirs against Brentford. Had it been Manchester City won against Manchester United yesterday, Chelsea would have lost the 4th position automatically, allowing Manchester City to qualify above them

If players are to leave, then I believe they've been in the news for a very long time, so it might not necessarily be because of this season's poor performance. I won't be surprised if players like Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish use the exit. They've been rumored with a possible exit since last season. It has already been confirmed that KDB will leave at the end of the season, so that's not a surprise at all.

And they won by against Leicester by a comfortable margin. For me, this was one of the usual no-brainer bet where you can give the other team a handicap. Anyway, next for them is Man United which is a much harder match to predict. If they win that, then they'll be fourth just one point behind Forest. I think a draw is more likely to happen.

I still believe Poch might have done better this season because we saw the improvement of the team last season ending, and that means we might have still be having Petrovic as our main goalie this season and there would have not be need for signing Jorgensen, who can say Petrovic has been better than and then we could stick with Sanchez for the main time as second choice. While I do love Joao Felix still, I think we might be having Conor and there won't be a need for Drewsbury Hall.

All that aside, you saw the dumb or annoying game plan Enzo came up with on our game yesterday and disappointing it was. We are in the fight for top four race and while we are having trouble securing top four, man did a dumb thing of dropping key players against Brentford who are much stronger than those we are challenging in the Conference League this week quatar final, Legia Warsaw and also a team we have find difficult to win these past seasons. Not also ignoring that we saw how more poor our attack is without Jackson.
