It looks like this might be the last match for Solskjaer if they lose again and can't hold a draw let alone win against Liverpool it seems like this will be very difficult.
Whether Solskjaer will be able to survive at Anfield or Liverpool can be embarrassed

Well this is the FA Cup and this is a special competition.

It is great to see the smaller teams beating the bigger ones in almost every round until the quarter-finals, rarely does a minnow get to the quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals of the FA Cup but lower ranked teams have beaten higher ranked ones in the past.

The beauty of not knowing which EPL team will be stunned in to a draw or a shock loss is what makes the FA Cup amazing. When Rochdale drew 1-1 with Newcastle United at the Crown Oil Arena in Rochdale it was a massive game for them and their 8,500+ attending crowd but they will now be able make several hundred thousands of £ GBP now from the TV rights and a share of the funds the approximate 55,000 fans that will be at Sports Direct Arena in Newcastle will bring. The cash will go a long way to help a small club like Rochdale. Well done to them.

Exactly why Tranmere Rovers scored 3 goals to equalise and take their match to replay as well is something that cannot be explained. Tranmere decided to put everything on the line and go for when they were 3-0 down and Watford took their win for granted and were weaker against a team in the final part of the game that just did not want to give up. Well done to Tranmere Rovers.

Well, I also think that this is their reason for drawing the match against Tranmere Rovers they don't intent in giving their best players and have them taking an injury for their main target teams in my opinion, and they surely have another shot for the league keeping this as a tab and if they can have another mistake like this, in underestimating their opponent but maybe Tranmere Rovers have some tactics up their sleeves, I don't like to say this but I may be wrong as well.

Many clubs do not play the main players but with their reserve players good enough and some are held to a draw, I am also sure in the second phase they will maximize the match to qualify for the next.

Totenham
Manchester United
Newscastle
Watfort

The result of the match was a draw and but their first phase did not prioritize it.

One reason why I think Watford drew against Tranmere Rovers is because they had less priority for this match. Most of their subs were in the starting lineup but it's not a complete loss though they're still playing next week for a rematch. And the other league teams that drew against weaker teams are probably in the same situation.

Surprise as you are I never imagine that Tranmere Rovers had lost after winning their 3 score, the second half Watford just give their all and Tranmere Rovers just take out their guard down and the unexpected just happen, unfortunately, my prediction is very not clear and I just base my speculation on the odds, But well-unexpected things happen like this and I think Tranmere Rovers had learned something from this experience.

Well giving Watford superiority over Tranmere Rovers a Draw is surely something that is unexpected to see from Watford but I guess it really did happen. 

surprise surprise surprise!
watford play too opened after they lead 3-0 they are underestimated tranmere rovers and the consequence is that 3 goals comeback.
they will learn something from the match as they should not let this happened in the league , they are under threat to relegated, well done tranmere successfully forced a replay match at their home, it could be a game changer.

i was thinking when port vale equalized the score that they have the capability to hold for a draw.
but manchester city response are so quick , they are continuously making chances to score and the result at the end is a big gap .

at least we have seen a good football where the small teams make a set-off.

the result of this game:

Wolves Vs Manchester United

no surprise to me, Manchester united tends to lose or draw with the teams that are below his position on Premier League




I wonder what happened if Leeds United won this game? It will be like winning the lottery  


I start thinking for this game:

Manchester United Vs Norwich

Norwich can also do the unimaginable of winning the game

We see the Arsenal match later against Ledds United whether Arsenal will be able to restore its former glory?
This easy opponent Arsenal don't embarrass yourself in front of his suitors because the opponent is from division 2.

Man United vs Wolves ended in a draw and MU was unable to score even one goal, I think Manchester are still not good in its game.

Only the result of the game between Manchester United and Arsenal is really unexpected based on the previous week's scenario, What a come back for the Gunners, Arteta has changed the mindset of the gunners, they have won last two-game after losing many points in the recent time, after just 10 games they have won against a top team, it's really high time to go up the point table but it's also not an easy task for the current context, hope to see Arsenal will bring its glory within a short time.

Yes the problem with clubs such as Chelsea are that if they do not find a manager that brings immediate success they tend to part with them fast. I hope Lampard has brought Chelsea the stability that club needs and he has put his faith in the younger players instead of going out and buying after their transfer ban was lifted.

I remember when Klopp took over after 8 EPL games when Rodgers got sacked, Liverpool won just 13 of the 30 EPL games Klopp was manager and Liverpool finished 8th in 15/16 season. And I remember when Klopp was being blasted by Liverpool fans and the media around 2016 saying the team was playing no better than when Rodgers was there but the board stuck with him in that difficult period and allowed him time. Klopp is a fantastic manager, he turned Liverpool in to a juggernaut.

The Guardiola aura has ended, if he could go back and leave after the winning the EPL last season he would do that. Now the problem for him is that he would not want to leave Manchester City until/unless they win either the EPL or Champions League otherwise he himself and many others will see him as a failure even though he achieved so much there.

Rodgers has been brilliant for Leicester City this season, they are the team all neutrals want to win, it would be a great achievement for Leicester City to chase Liverpool till the end of the season.

Having said all that the calendar year has to belong to Liverpool for making back to back Champion League finals and winning it in season 18/19, along with the incredible run of 37 EPL games without defeat.

They deserve it. They were so patient with Jurgen Klopp, and they are now reaping from the fruits of his work. I bet if Klopp had gone to a club like Chelsea. he would have been sacked in his second season because of lack of trophies 

Congratulations to Liverpool FC for going a whole year without losing an EPL game. They lost some games such as various cups and competitions in that period but did not lose a game in the EPL.

Liverpool have played 37 EPL games without defeat and picked up 101 points from a possible maximum of 111 points in that time. What an achievement !

Their last defeat was 2-1 against defending EPL champions and 2018/19 EPL champions Manchester City on 3rd January 2019.  

Congratulations to Liverpool and their manager Jurgen Klopp.

Today I am also very disappointed with Newcastle as I lost my parlay just because of them I place 5 teamer and all gone good just they kill my this badly as I have over 2.5 because I was expecting few goals from them but they completely not in good touch.

Now these were some result which showed what the beauty of what the FA Cup is all about:

Watford 3-3 Tranmere Rover
Rochdale 1-1 Newcastle United
Brighton & Hove Albion 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Fulham 2-1 Aston Villa

what happened? They were winning 3 - 0 in the first half of the game, I cannot believe they conceded 3 goals in 30 minutes in the second half.


I start thinking that Manchester City may also draw or lose


they draw the game


I'm glad I didn't place any bets on these games, it's been an unpleasant surprise

The results are very disappointed Rochdale vs Newcastle because Newcatle could not win this match despite traveling to an opponent I think it's easy because the opponent is in division 2 but this time the results are balanced and able to break down in the 79th minute, I think Newcastle is still lacking in defense .

Did anyone bet on this match? how do you feel?

Very weird betting odds can be found all over the place to be fair but it is the magic of the FA Cup that allows for shocks wins/defeats to happen  

Somewhere along the line a minnow will beat a big club, there will be upsets happening in some games today that is what makes the FA Cup so important when small teams get a chance to play the bigger teams and get an opportunity to make money through gate-sharing receipts and television rights. Possible upsets might be:

-Rochdale vs Newcastle United
-Fulham vs Aston Villa
-Preston North End vs Norwich City
-Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield Wednesday

for Premier League on the January 18 Matches

Watford VS Tottenham - 1-2 will be the score in my opinion,

I guess Tottenham can do a lot against thew underdog Watford.

Brighton VS Aston Villa - 3-1 will be the score in my opinion,

I think that Brighton can have a bright future against Aston Villa regarding the odds of them.

Manchester City VS Crystal Palace - 5-0 will be the score,

I might be exaggerating the score between these two but Man. City is a formidable foe against Crystal Palace and I am not seeing any means that Manchester will be having any problem with Crystal Palace.

West Ham VS Everton - 2-2 will be the score,

This match may end up in a draw, in my opinion, regarding that these two are pretty much alike and a possible draw may happen.

Arsenal VS Sheff Utd - 4-1 will be the score,

Arsenal is a force to be reckoned with and Sheff Utd may have a hard time defeating Arsenal.

I am not going to all the fights for the 18/1 I am just picking fights that I think I can speculate on, and this is all just speculation regarding what may happen.

lol watford being underdog for the first 20 league matches and yes this is rare but also a good opportunity to make money on 11x multiplier haha
no way port vale wins over manchester city even with the reserve team, pep side always surprising.

speaking about FA cup

now playing at minutes 39

Birmingham City 1 - 0 Blackburn Rovers

Bristol City 1 - 0 Shrewsbury Town

Burnley 3 - 1 Peterborough United

Millwall 1 - 0 Newport County

Rochdale 0 - 1 Newcastle United

Rotherham United 1 - 1 Hull City

Watford, Southampton and Bournemouth will face the Division 2 club of course it will be easy for them to qualify for the next round, actually it is not interesting to see in the match I just predicted they would win in the match tonight.

I played a triple which I am not very convinced that it will be a win but it can be as the odds are low.Together the odds are just a bit over two.I choose for today Watford,Southampton and Bournemouth to win against their opponent.I choose these teams because in theory this should be a no brainer Premier League teams should win against teams from lower divisions.This is only theory though as reality we know how harsh it can be.

Talking about FA Cup, today I saw this:



It's not every day we get a chance to see this (Watford being much more favorite in the odds)



Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs Manchester United

It's a high risk game 

And now seriously, my surprise will be if Port Vale wins Manchester City:

I am sorry, I missed two matches but am adding the full list now 

It seems interesting to me is Wolves vs Manchester United because this match will be more exciting because fighting over to win the next round, they will reciprocate goals and maybe there will be many goals.
If you predict 2-3 for MU then I am different from you only predict 1-2 for Manchester United.
Maybe betting here will be more exciting and I'll do it.

@JollyGood in your list you have not featured Manchester City even their match is scheduled for tonight against Port Value, and my prediction for this match is 3 - 0 where City will score all the goals. Manchester United vs Wolves will be an entertaining clash, and I’m expecting the match to end at 3 - 2 where Manchester United will win and progress to the next round.

Here are the FA Cup games taking place on Saturday 4th January 2020

As you can see several EPL teams are involved.

I understand where you are coming from, Klopp is a legend for many but for me a legend would be someone who does much more than what Klopp has achieved for a club the size and stature of Liverpool. In my opinion (not that it matters much) he will need to win at least one EPL to get universal acceptance as a great. For me looking through the record books sitting above all the managers in greatness undoubtedly it Ferguson for obvious reasons. Paisley and Clough followed by several others in the mix but even now I do not consider Guardiola a legend for what he achieved in such a short space of time at Barcelona - maybe decades in to the future his achievements might sink in but right now I cannot give him that status.

Klopp has signed a new contract to extend his stay, if he becomes the first Liverpool manager to win the EPL (30 years after Dalglish last helped them win it) then he will be afar bigger hero than he is right now. I would still be unable to mention him in the same class as Fagan, Paisley and Shankley but others might.

The great thing about Klopp is that he is so energetic, his character has rubbed off on the whole squad and he has shaped the team with a never-lose always-win mentality. Getting Klopp to sign from Borussia Dortmund was a master stroke by the owners but I recall when he first arrived he was being portrayed as someone not better than Rodgers. Thankfully he turned things around and the rest is history being made...



Maybe they never had to step up a higher gear today as they were keeping something in the tank for the next match. It seemed inevitable Liverpool would win tonight.

Liverpool do have tricky matches coming this month, if they drop points in just two of those next 4 games and both Manchester City and Leicester City close the gap just slightly then the pressure might be back on with memories of last season still fresh when they had an 8 point lead at Christmas but ended up as runners-up while Manchester City were champions.

Convincing win, but I honestly was expecting a little more counter attacking from Sheff Utd. Seems with Gomez back in the squad we are starting to pick up a little more clean sheets also. Next few fixtures for Liverpool are going to be the deciding factor I think. Especially, the game against Man United which they always seem to get at least a point from in recent times.

You were spot on about Mane, he scored the second goal in the 2-0 win tonight 

The Liverpool juggernaut shows no sign of slowing down......

I am feeling 4 - 0 is no going to happen as first half just ended and Liverpool leading by 1 - 0 hopefully they will able to double this score as Sheff Utd is also giving them tough time.

I wasn't around for the previous prime times for Liverpool so its a completely new feeling for me. I'd disagree that Klopp has to continue to cement himself as he's already gone on to win the champions league, and truly absorbed himself in the club culture. Maybe I'm a little gun ho, but I would already consider him a legend even if he went onto win nothing else. We've had some mediocre years recently, but that changed almost instantly when he was appointed. I dread the day that Steven Gerrard takes over from Klopp which will probably be 2025. Five more years under Klopp does sound nice though I'll admit, and Gerrard being a legend isn't too doom, and gloom.

That said, if he were to win the first top flight trophy in the premier league era for Liverpool he would certainly be considered by Liverpool fans as a legend to the club. Liverpool do have a tough fixture list coming up, and while there is a gap at the moment if the challengers such as Man City who have a less tough schedule I think dropped points could start rocking the cart. Although, these boys at the moment seem to be focused, and are determined like no other Liverpool team in recent years.

Great story to read, thank you for sharing.

Your father is right, Klopp is one of the best managers ever but he needs to keep up the successes otherwise he might not be able to cement that view all round.

Well there are many new fans that were born after those great Liverpool teams that were built and rebuilt during the Shankly years in the 60s through to mid 70's with Paisley and to the 80's with Fagan and Dalglish where they absolutely dominated English football and regularly dominated European football for such a long time. Now a whole new generation of Liverpool fans and general football supporters are seeing history being when they had never seen or lived through great periods of football history but only heard of them such as:

- the Manchester United back to back EPL and FA Cup double wins in the early 90's, their treble sucess in 1999 and their glory years under Ferguson
- the Arsenal historic invincible team of 2003–04 which won the EPL by 11 points with a 26 wins and 12 draws record and went a total of 49 consecutive EPL games unbeaten under Wenger
- the historic Liverpool sides of the late great Bob Paisley between 1974–83 where they won back to back European Cups in the late 70's and one in early 80's
- the great Brian Clough and his unlikely but super successful European Cup triumphs with Nottingham Forest in the late 70's
- the way English football teams (Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa) won all 6 European Cups between them during 1976/77 season to 1981/1982 season

There are so many more things to add but the point was Liverpool fans are finally getting the sort of football from the Klopp Liverpool teams that was being played regularly when greats such as Dalglish, Souness, Keegan and Rush were playing when managed by Fagan, Paisley and Shankly. Their 30 year wait to win the EPL just might be coming to an end thanks to Klopp and the players he has working hard for him.

Despite Sheff Utd playing some very good counter attacking football against Man City they were ultimately brushed aside. Liverpool will have to be wary of this, especially because Liverpool's fullbacks like to push up very high, and often have to race back, and catch up with play. Admittedly it does help that they are incredibly fast full backs.

I don't see Liverpool keeping a clean sheet, but I do see them winning convincingly. I think we'll see Mane, and Firmino on the scoresheet, and it'll end up 4-1.

Even when the front free haven't got their shooting boots on they often score. I took my father to watch Liverpool back last year against Leicester City where we won 2-1. Although, we went down 1-0 just before half time through Vardy. He's been a Liverpool fan all his life, and as it goes that rubbed off onto me from a young age. Well, comparing last year to this year is incredible. Even back in the Rogers day where they came 2nd I always felt we were going to concede, and throw the game in the last 10 minutes. We often fell apart like school kids. This year their composure, and determination to win games is second to none, and its got to the point that if we are struggling I still expect them to find the win anyway.  I remember telling my father that Klopp would change Liverpool, and he hadn't heard of him at the time. Now he thinks hes one of the best managers to ever come into football so not as he got the players believing in themselves, hes got the fans who never even heard of him before to love him, and feel a confidence they haven't felt since the 90s.

After tonight against Sheff United, Liverpool will face a tough opponent Tottenham> Manchester United, I think it will be a more exciting match because the club has been tense in their previous matches.

But many believe that Liverpool will be able to get past all with a perfect victory bringing 3 points.

Wow like a match against Leicester 4-0
Maybe that can happen because Liverpool's performance is very good so a score of 4 goals can be achieved, but my predictions say otherwise I predict Liverpool vs Sheff United 3-1

Liverpool wins

8pm kick-off tonight, Liverpool playing at home. They have two games in hand, have a 10 point lead... things are looking rosy for Liverpool  

By the end of this evening they could be 13 points ahead of second placed Leicester City and still have a game in hand.

I would have thought 4-0 sounds about right because Liverpool are on fire but if Sheffield United want to get something out the game they will have to attack and hope they score otherwise if they sit back and try to soak up the pressure Liverpool will score goals for fun.

Liverpool vs Sheff Utd
Mane to score at any time (this is often a winner)

 

Score prediction is 4-0 LFC.
