I think without Haaland City would really struggle to win. They have only won 1 match from the last 5 matches. It was really a very bad result for a team that was chasing the title. I was really surprised by the draw against Palace because they were leading 2-1 going into extra time. It was a truly unlucky penalty for City. This result makes things even worse because now they are in 4th position and Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa still have one game left.

Of course, this match is difficult for us to predict because both clubs both want to get the full 3 points, Tottenham wants to use the golden opportunity in the next match to overtake Manchester City, who yesterday achieved a draw against Crystal Palace. If Tottenham can get the full 3 points then Tottenham will are in 3rd place and have overtaken Manchester City, they are only 1 point different. Of course Tottenham will not miss this opportunity. They have lost quite a lot of points so they want to immediately fix it from now on.

Meanwhile, Everton still has to fight hard and this is also a quite difficult match for him because Tottenham is a club that is competing at the top and of course its performance is stronger and it looks like Tottenham Hotspur is in better condition now and is starting to get a winning streak but Everton also got a win. . in a row in the last 5 matches and only experienced 1 defeat so I think this will be quite an interesting match and it seems that with the option you said is a good choice, namely betting on BTTS it will be a little safer.

I can't fathom what's happening with Mancity anymore; they keep dropping points. Mancity surged ahead, leading by two goals and seemingly securing the win, but then, Crystal Palace equalized in the final minutes. To be fair, Mancity dominated almost the entire match, but in the last 15 minutes of the half, they lost what was almost a precious victory for them at the moment.

Perhaps the most regrettable was the perplexing foul by Foden, leading to a penalty in the final added minutes. It was an unbelievable ending because Palace hardly created any dangerous opportunities throughout the game. This outcome really puts Mancity in a tough spot in the championship race as they are currently trailing Liverpool by 3 points, having played one more match.

Yes tomorrow will be quite fun in the EPL as some big guns of the season will be matching all out to get points to move up and down the log, Liverpool match against Man United isn’t much of a match because if you check the way this Manchester United set out, you can easily tell how shambolic the team is and what’s more crazy is that they’ll be without most of their players whom they’ve lost to injury.

 I think yes a handicap on Man United and Liverpool winning is a sAfe bet for this fixture, Arsenal will sure cruise through when they play Brighton who aren’t really on a good form lately and this will also be a boost to Mikel Arteta title chase, Aston Villa are in god shape but now they face. brentford side that can cause you some worries even when not needed and that could be the surprise of tomorrow’s fixture, so I feel a safe bet is giving handicap to Brentford and for them to win still.

The truth is I don't know how Arsenal can have a performance like that. I believe that when it comes to these clubs, it is mostly focused on the good that each one of them can do, I do believe that Aston Villa can do the difference, it would be a lie for me to say that I don't have faith in a team like Newcastle, because Newcastle for me is one of the things I like the most the way they play, but they are not so consistent, of course, we see City as one of the most stable teams, that have the most control over what they do, but this is just a way to say it, this competition is very strong and I believe that when it comes to such strong teams, anything can happen, it can be That the last one on the table can surpass a Man City, this is something that anything can be possible, personally I don't like City, I have more faith in a Liverpool team because of everything they have been through.

I know that many have forgotten about the Colombian, but this is a fact, the Colombian is in a very good position, Diaz can make a difference, and in reality I would like Mbappé himself to be able to go for this football, he is the only one In the same way, of course English football and Almeán football, I would like even more for a Mbappé to leave because the Germans don't have that way of praising stars or anything, that would lower the player's ego, however with a Liverpool under Luis Diaz , and WEgipci'o could do great things, that's what I see as correct, I don't see anything else, that's why I see it that way, however, the worst team I've seen in the PL, in the UCL is the Man United and it really makes you angry because this is one of the teams that were the scariest in the past, I mean it happened 10 years ago, they have always maintained a great reputation, now in the hands of Ten Hag it seems as if they were haunted , with the best squad they have and they are not capable of doing something, here it is evident that CR7 was not the problem, the problem has always been Ten Hag.

Brentford vs Aston Villa: The Bees’ “bounce back mentality” will be tested after four losses in five

Manchester City are still not a credible team at all for betting. Today they hosted Crystal Palace. They couldn't win a game in which they got ahead 2-0. They couldn't prevent a 2-2 draw.    I really don't understand what is going on with this team these days. They struggled against even Luton despite winning the game at the end.

Now we are witnessing this result. Haaland couldn't play due to injury also. Maybe he could have been a game changer here. However their actual problem wasn't with scoring.

They were just bad at defending in the second half. If they were able to keep their dominance they had in the first half then it would have been an easy victory for them.

Tomorrow there will be interesting matches from 3 clubs who are in the top 3 in the points table and let's predict these 3 matches.

Liverpool will play against MU and we can certainly still remember Liverpool's victory over MU by 7 scores last season and it looks like this will repeat the bad story experienced by MU because several injured players have not been able to appear again while Liverpool have no problems with their players and have become guarantee that Liverpool will win with a big score again in tomorrow's match.
It's just that Liverpool's odds are a little smaller @1.33 or I would choose to bet on a handicap of -1.75 with fairly large odds @1.97 because I really believe Liverpool will score big and MU will have difficulty scoring.

Arsenal's next match is against Brighton and this is an opportunity for Arsenal to secure victory because Brighton is missing attacking players such as Danny Welbeck and also Ansu Fati so that Arsenal will have the advantage of being able to compete at home against a club that is in an unstable condition.
So choosing to bet on Arsenal is no problem with odds @1.49

Next, the club whose performance is improving, Aston Villa, will face Brentford.
Aston Villa is in a really stable and very consistent condition, there are no problems with the players and one side has just beaten 2 popular clubs who are at the top of the points table and this time against Brentford it is very easy for Aston Villa while Brentford is playing against a weak club like Sheff Utd were unable to secure a win and had to compete against Aston Villa whose performance was much better.
This time we get a very big odds opportunity if you want to take the risk of betting on Aston Villa with odds @2.19 and I am very confident that Aston Villa can win.

Aston Villa need a bit of a miracle to win the Premier League. I'm not underestimating them, but if we're talking about a long league journey, a team like Aston Villa really needs a very good player rotation arrangement. Honestly they don't have good squad depth. This means that if several key players are injured, it is likely that they will under-perform. I just hope that Aston Villa can continue to show their best matches because teams like them are the most interesting to watch.

Well I think this match is going to be a very tough one cause both teams have really had a good time earlier this season but are trying  to put themselves together so as to move upwards again, especially Everton who got deducted points and are now currently in the relegation zone, well Tottenham are a good team and would fancy themselves to steal the 3points against Everton, but they're not going to find it easy playing Everton especially now that Bissouma has been book with a red card and would miss the match.

 However Tottenham has alot of advantage in that game, they might be playing without one of their key player but they still have the home ground to their advantage and that could give give them a big confidence to steal the 3points against Everton by this time next week. My prediction for the game is a bts which is both teams to score.

This match will be a very important match for Everton to improve their position in the standings because they are currently still in an unsafe position and they have to gain a lot of points to return their position to their original position precisely in the middle of the standings as before, and vice versa in this match It is also very important for Tottenham Hotspur to catch up on the points difference with the top of the standings. They don't want to be far behind because Tottenham has the ambition to win the Premier League title and try to play in the Champions League next season.

Of course, Sean Dyche as the coach continues to provide good motivation to his players because they need encouragement after receiving this punishment and they have proven that Everton can still rise because they don't want to experience relegation.
I'm sure they will achieve good results in the future. But in the match against Tottenham I'm not so sure because Tottenham is also in a good trend and seems to be on the winning path and it is certain that both clubs will try hard to fight for the full 3 points in this match.

The last performance of Tottenham indeed signals a positive turn for the team after a challenging period. For me, That shows that Ange Ange Postecoglou is not a random manager. Guiding his team to bounce back after the struggles they faced is something a good manager can do. He is able to reorganize the lineup and gameplay with the return of some players players from suspensions and injuries. The recent return of Richarlison has brought about a positive change, injecting vitality into the squad and contributing to the team's improved performance.

The fact that Tottenham has managed to level points with Manchester City and is only four points behind the table-topping Liverpool is noteworthy progress. The points tally suggests that Tottenham is still very much in the title race. The four-point gap with Liverpool is not insurmountable, and the team's recent positive momentum makes a strong case for Tottenham's contention for the title. This is the dynamics of football that can change rapidly.

After a gloomy streak, things are gradually looking up for Tottenham with two consecutive wins. Tottenham's recent struggles have been primarily due to a severely depleted squad. Many key players have been absent due to injuries and suspensions, most notably Maddison, causing Coach Postecoglou considerable difficulty in organizing the lineup and gameplay. This situation has seen some improvement in recent matches with the return of Richarlison.

With this victory, they have currently leveled their points with Manchester City, though lagging behind in goal difference and trailing the table-topping Liverpool by only 4 points. Therefore, I believe Tottenham is still in contention for the championship this year.

There's no denying that losing the championship last season was almost unacceptable for Arsenal fans, especially considering how they had outpaced the second-placed Manchester City, only to be overtaken in the final matches, losing their coveted title. However, this season is different for Arsenal. We can't simply rely on the past to predict the present.

As for Aston Villa, a team proving to be a formidable opponent for the giants this season, no one can underestimate them at this point. But when it comes to championship potential, I still believe Arsenal has a significant edge over Aston Villa in many aspects. Even if they perform well, I'm confident Arsenal could clinch the Champions League title this year. Let's wait and see.

Everton can threaten Tottenham's two consecutive wins because Everton has the ability to end it.
What Sean Dyche did at Everton is quite impressive because the penalty for deducting points did not affect the mentality of the Everton players at all and now they have managed to get out of the relegation zone and from five matches they managed to get 12 points which is quite extraordinary and from those five matches they only lost to Manchester United.
Tottenham has to be wary of Everton's excellent counterattacks because it seems that in the match against Chelsea, they can be very effective with this strategy and Everton's quite disciplined defense will make things difficult for Tottenham later, there is a big chance for Everton to get points in next week's match, even if it's just one.

Tottenham Hotspur's win tonight after their convincing win against Newcastle last weekend I think goes a long way to explain how good of a side they can be and their level of determination to return to the summit of the English Premier League standings. Before the their last weekend win against Newcastle, they had already gone five league games without a win in which they lost three and shared points in the rest two of the games including draw against Manchester City. During that period, a lot of their first team players were out injured as well as those that were suspended but since last weekend that Romero came back to the squad, they've been performing well especially in the defense side of the team.

Their next league game will be against Everton who's been absolutely on fine form this season despite their point deduction for financial fair play violations and that game is definitely gonna be a very difficult game for Tottenham Hotspur but I believe they can still take all three points from the game of they can play at their best like they did tonight.

You forgot to mention chelsea as well as villa was destroying chealse during the early match of EPL. Emery is slowly but surely building his club so well. Im not expecting aston villa to played so well this season. It's amazing to see this club is sitting at the third place of EPL.
I would rather than call liverpool and manchester city are the strongest candidate to win EPL this season. Believe me or not if arsenal will be bottling it again this season. Im not expect a lot from arsenal.
Arsenal is always declining once it enters into the late game, unlike the club like manchester city or liverpool which are very stable and they are to know what they are doing. Arsenal is always botting the chance to win EPL in so many seasons.
I personallly think that arsenal has no chance to win EPL. It is possible that Aston Villa will exceed the performance of all the big clubs by the end of the season. Aston villa is just getting better and better.

Im waiting for another surprise to come from aston villa. I know this club is very strong with the came of emery to the club, Emery is just a great coach but that's sad how big club in EPL was not even eyeing him.

Next game for Tottenham is against Everton who are fighting for premier league survival and fighting their way back to the top of the table where they were once close to this season. Bissouma will suffer a four match Ban and their coach will need to be able to go on without him because Tottenham have struggled in the games before this and their last. Tottenham are now fifth and still very close to the top of the table. Richarlison have scored goals in his last two games for Tottenham, maybe that is a signal that the striker is finally ready to deliver what is expected of him.

It looks like it would be a strong boost for them if Aston Villa players are not injured and can perform well like they have done so far. Yes, Aston Villa can return the surprise that Leicester City did if they are supported by avoiding player injuries so that 11 players can take part in playing in every match this season. Maintaining performance in the best situation will be their obstacle because in the second half of the season big teams like Manchester City will definitely try to return to leading the standings.

We have seen Tottenham fall from first place to 5th place and they need time to recover and if this happens to Aston Villa of course they could suffer the same fate as Tottenham. But that's just speculation because so far they have been able to maintain their performance well because they have managed to get through several big matches such as against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Manchester City may have faced some challenges this season with the unavailability of Kevin de Bruyne, but they have a formidable squad with exceptional depth and talent. Their ability to rotate key players and maintain a high level of performance in various competitions showcases their resilience and adaptability. Historically, they have proven the capacity to overcome mid-season hurdles and finish strongly. Pep Guardiola who is known for his tactical acumen and ability to motivate players adds a strategic edge to City's campaign.

Arsenal and Liverpool are indeed performing well, but sustaining success throughout an entire season is a challenging task. Both teams have their strengths, but they have also experienced fluctuations in form and results that is not impossible to happen again. Aston Villa, while displaying promising performances, might face challenges in maintaining consistency over the course of a demanding season with the quality of squad depth being the issue. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa may pose challenges, but City's pedigree and the guidance of Guardiola suggest that they remain strong contenders for defending their title.

Chelsea could sign Jesus Christ in January and they still wouldn’t finish anywhere near the top 4. I don’t think I’ve seen a football club spend so recklessly, mismanaging funds in my lifetime.

They’ve spent close to £1,500,000,000 in 18 months and they’re just as bad, if not worse than before. They are 14 points behind Man City in 4th and we are not even half way through the season. Man Utd have a better chance but I still think they won’t finish in the top 4.

Doing so impressively currently with the limited budget he was given, means that if he was fully backed financially by the board, they could do better than they're doing currently and even be one of the top contenders for the league, I believe the boards would be really impressed with how far Unai Emery have got the club and therefore they should try as much as possible to invest for funds for the Jan transfer window so Emery would strengthen the club to continue doing better.

 Well I won't conclude yet that Manchester United or Chelsea are out of the top 4 race yet, cause there's still lots of games left to be played before the League comes to an end by May/June period therefore I expect both clubs to try every possible and take advantage of the upcoming January window and do the necessary signings to get the clubs into doing better again.
