I don't see any team presently that is capable of challenging Liverpool to this season's English premier league title. Chelsea are the closest team chasing Liverpool in second place on the table standings but I don't think they will be able to win the league. I think Enzo Maresca main focus now is building a team capable of competing for trophies in the future.
Whatever Amorim is doing to Man United, it's not working out. But, in his defence, he has to play with what he inherited after Ten Hag. He probably will be allowed to do some shopping in the winter transfer window, but if there's no visible improvement after that, he might be in trouble.
it's not the fault of the Manchester United coach that things are not working at the club at the moment, actually nothing is bound to work at Manchester united until the team is properly fixed and I thing the coach has emphasized that during one of his interviews with press, he also emphasized the absence of the right players in the squad which is one of the reasons the team is underperforming and a possible transformation of the entire squad if not an overhaul, so I see no reasons why anyone should blame Amorim for the poor performance of this Manchester united side for now, he should be given enough time just as the previous coaches.At the very least, if Amorim doesn't make the expected improvements over the course of a season or two, then it's very likely that Amorim will end up being sacked as well as previous coaches. Although, I personally can still admit that Amorim is not bad at all sofar, because Amorim has not really fully formed a team with his selected players. Thus, Amorim still needs more time to really be able to make Manchester United have good dominance in the Premier League. It is difficult, but if I think that Amorim is a great hope because of his success at Sporting, then at least Amorim can also make Manchester United get some trophies.
This result is surprising, even they did not show as a winning team against Man City. Indeed, in the match Bournemouth was more effective. Man United was too nervous and destroyed because they conceded first. In fact, they are even more destroyed and make the players' mentality worse. This condition made Amorim dizzy and there were many rumors that he would ask for funds for a big fight. There are rumors that Amorim wants Osimhen when he is with Galatasaray on loan, then there are Ronald Araujo and Tyler Dibling. They still have 2 games against Wolves and Newcastle United.
To be fair, United and Osimhen rumour has been broken, I have seen it on witter where it's said that this is a wrong and fake news, just to increase the value of Osimhen and get him wanted. Osimhen is not even working with his agent anymore, he is literally working with his lawyer alone, nobody else. This is why these fake news are spread by probably Napoli to get rid of him, like try to make it look like fans do want it. If enough United fans see this news and go crazy about it, then they think United will not have any choice but to go for it.Osimhen is not against going to United I am sure, and I am sure United is not against getting Osimhen if they can neither, both of those are quite possible and they both would want each other, I am not saying this can't happen, I am just saying that there aren't any talks so far, this doesn't mean there won't be one, it just means that the news we have seen so far is fake, but eventually it could turn out to be true.

Impressive performance by Liverpool. Mo Salah is now the sole leader of the top Premier League scorers with 15 goals to his name, overtaking Man City's Haaland, who hasn't improved his 13-goal count in a while.
If Liverpool doesn't hit any longer period of season fatigue and underperformance, they're on the best way to win the league. And that would be a great debut for Arne Slot.
Manchester United are in transition and it will take time for Ruben Amorim to be able to build a team of his choice. We have seen flashes of brilliance from Ruben Amorim since his arrival at Manchester United, he has changed the atmosphere at the club. I think with time, Amorim will be able to get Manchester United back on track again.Impressive performance by Liverpool. Mo Salah is now the sole leader of the top Premier League scorers with 15 goals to his name, overtaking Man City's Haaland, who hasn't improved his 13-goal count in a while.

It is true that Mo Salah has been the most standout player presently in the EPL as he tops the standing with goals scored and also assists too, with 15goals scored and 11 assists. As they are poised to become the winner of this season's English Premier League. And I am sure even with injuries they will still win the title as other teams seems to have given up on the title pursuit.

Liverpool will host Leicester in their next match, next against West Ham at the London Olympic Stadium. Both matches will be played during the remainder of December and there is a possibility of losing points to Liverpool. I'm not underestimating Leicester and West Ham in any way, for me it's the best way to not drop points for the rest of the year.
And the next 2 matches that will be played by Liverpool have the opportunity to continue to get 3 full points. There is nothing to worry about The Red this season, Arne Slot and his troops are at the peak of their ideal performance so that any club in the EPL or the Champions League will have difficulty stopping Liverpool. Leicester City and Westham can still provide resistance but there is no guarantee they can steal 3 points.

Boxing day its here, can Manchester City end their curse?
If not there wound be anything that united and Bournemouth will be in this kind of discussion but sincerely speaking Manchester United let a lot of hope's down by not consolidating on the win that they have over Manchester City the previous weekend than just to come and lose at home to Bournemouth of all teams

Man United was too nervous and destroyed because they conceded first. In fact, they are even more destroyed and make the players' mentality worse.

The odds for all the games of round 18 (26th and 27th Dec), by Duelbits, are as follows:
Is anyone else tempted to place a smallish bet on a draw on Man City vs. Everton? Or do we think Everton is so weak that Man City in crisis can still easily defeat them?
Statistically speaking, Everton has the highest draw rate in the league (44%) and, in their last two games, they stole some points from Chelsea and Arsenal, both games ended in goalless draws.
Interesting matches to watch out for in the boxing day fixtures I must confess that all the matches are hard to predict and all the teams looks good going into the mid-week fixtures but one game that is of interest to me is the Chelsea vs Fulham game, Fulham is another team that has surprised a lot of people as their performance has been great they have been pulling out results from both home and away and going into this match against Chelsea they look like they can cause another upset.Is anyone else tempted to place a smallish bet on a draw on Man City vs. Everton?

Chelsea should be very very careful with this game and not under rate this Fulham team that has been impressive Chelsea should take this game at home with all kind of seriousness because if there is one team that is in form in then league Fulham is that club
After beating Manchester City i thought they were starting to bounce back and would perform better against Bournemouth, however, i was wrong, Manchester United suffered a crushing defeat, plus another embarrassment was that the match was held at Manchester United own ground.
Many people expect Man United to maintain their winning streak after beating Man City, but Bournemouth is one of the teams that always makes things difficult for Man United when playing at Old Trafford. Bournemouth may not be considered a team capable of competing at the top, nor are they considered a "dark horse" team like Aston Villa, Tottenham and West Ham. However, Bournemouth's performance this season is very impressive, Man United has just become a victim of their ferocity, the victory made them succeed in occupying 5th position with 28 points, even now they have succeeded in surpassing Man City in terms of points.

Chelsea could have won that game if they played the same in the second half. But things changed and Everton seemed to have it under control. Enzo Maresca could really look for this point loss while fighting for the league title. 
Everton are really an interesting team though. They have had a hard time in the Premier League for years. But somehow they manage to steal points from top teams regularly. It happened with Arsenal as well previously you know. Do you think they will relegate this season? I feel like Sean Dyche will find a way to keep the team here. But a team like Everton should be targeting higher goals than only clinging to this league. I really miss their old times being a tough team.

I had thoughts that it is possible to play on Everton with + handicap, but I decided to skip this match, despite the fact that City is terrible now, this cannot last forever and it must end someday. On the other hand, Everton can defend very well, so it is not excluded that they can dry up another match. I think that Chelsea should beat Fulham, after zeros with Everton they will definitely want to win, after the last round Liverpool was able to improve their positions again, they cannot allow them to break away even more.Statistically speaking, Everton has the highest draw rate in the league (44%) and, in their last two games, they stole some points from Chelsea and Arsenal, both games ended in goalless draws.
Manchester City is currently very depressed, I have bet on them many times and think they will rise but a very long series of defeats makes me realize that it will be very difficult so in the match against Everton I don't think that Man City has a large percentage to win the match or draw, this is a fairly difficult match because everything is possible so I think it's better to bet on other Premier League matches, it's better to minimize the risk.

Mohammed Salah's performance for Liverpool this season have been outstanding but looking at the statistics, his contribution to the club in the last 9 league games is insanely ridiculous if you ask me. In the last English Premier League games, the Egyptian have been able to record 16 goals contributions.
Liverpool management needs to act fast and secure the future of Mohammed Salah or risk losing him for absolutely free in the summer when his contract with the club will expire.

Mohamed Salah's performance with Liverpool this season has been incredible, it's fantastic to see the player contribute a lot to the team this season. I didn't expect Salah to be this impressive this season based on his performance last season, I assumed that he had finished; we can't see the best of Moh Salah that we have seen in previous seasons. Salah scored 18 Premier League goals for Liverpool last season, but he has only scored 15 in 16 games this season. Salah is having an amazing season, and despite his age, he is still in a strong position to compete with other Premier League players under Arne Slot.
However, Liverpool's management has no choice but to offer Salah a new contract. I don't believe Liverpool is going to have a good left winger like Salah at this point, but if the management does not provide him with a new contract, the team is going to miss because another team will sign him and he will continue his incredible performances at another club. Moh Salah is a perfect match for Liverpool since Chiesa has yet to adjust to the team.
Salah's performance this season is very good and he is currently the best player in the world right now, he has helped Liverpool to win many games this season, Liverpool's game against Tottenham is very tough and every opponent that faces Tottenham knows how strong Tottenham is this season and Liverpool defeats them with 6 goals, Liverpool is ahead of all the Premier League team's with many points still have a match in hand which shows that they have the opportunity to win the League title this season.
Liverpool should extend Salah's contract because he deserves it, two year's contract will be very good for Salah and that will also make him happy and know that the team is happy with him, if Salah continues like this I believe another Premier League player goes to win Balloon Dior this season again and it will be a well-deserved award for Salah.
Then as for the ballon d'or, though it can be very difficult but if he can lead this Liverpool team to a premier league and champions league double then no doubt that he is actually going to be the most deserving player in the world for that award, so the most logical thing Liverpool needs to do right now is to extend his contract for at least three seasons, because I know that he still has a lot to offer this Liverpool team more than most people think.
