Westham never won again since 29th Dec last year, and they failed to score in their last 3 games.
Also, in their last 5 meetings - Westham has lost 4 times against Brentford.
This match could end in a draw or maybe Brentford will win with tight score.

That's how Chelsea, when faced with big teams, can always balance themselves, just like when they played against Man City, their game became very attractive. The result was a loss, but in my opinion Chelsea were able to provide resistance from the first half to the second half. Mistakes made only at the last minute may have made Chelsea players shaken. Overall, Liverpool were definitely superior, but scoring 1 goal meant Klopp had difficulty breaking down Chelsea's defence.

West Ham StartXI: 4-2-3-1

To this teams are base on the same performance but still I have hope for West Ham due to their home win game,


What is your thought in this game?

Shocked by this fact, the record that had stood for more than two decades collapsed under Ten Hag control. A defeat that is very difficult for fans to accept, because United is trying to get tickets to appear in the Champions League next season. Hojlund absence was the main reason United suffered defeat, Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were considered to have performed below expectations, Garnacho and Maguire deserved a good rating for their performance. Even though we know Maguire was late in anticipating the process of creating Fulham second goal, I think his mistake can be covered by his only goal.

On the other hand, United chances of finishing in the top four of the standings are already a bit impossible, but Ten Hag squad will most likely appear in the Europa League next season. Apart from all that, Ten Hag must now shift his focus to the match versus Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, before facing Man City in week 27. The series of defeats experienced by United this season has given rise to new rumors, reportedly United management will release most of players in the upcoming transfer window. It is possible that Ten Hag will also be released if he fails to retain his ticket to compete in the European League.

Liverpool seems very sympathetic to me. They are a team I always enjoy watching in the Premier League. Actually, I didn't think they would have this much trouble against Chelsea, but I was wrong. While Chelsea was fighting for the cup with all their might, Liverpool did their best and scored a goal as the extra time of the match ended. If they hadn't scored, maybe they would have lost on penalties.

Klopp is still proving to be the best and never gets tired of his job. A 56 year old young fellow and his team just prove to be unstoppable now and They will surely lift the EFL Trophy soon and this would be a best farewell to coach.

Liverpool didn’t played their best squad for Chelsea due to injuries. Some people were saying that Klopp underrated Chelsea but it is not right; Liverpool wanted to try the young players because they don’t have choice while Chelsea played their best squad with the aim of winning the title but Pochettino’s lack of good coaching skills caused them the title as they couldn’t win Liverpool with their best squad.

Klopp really tried for Liverpool, he left Dortmund and join the Reds when Liverpool need a good coach, and he do his best to rescue the team. However, this Klopp’s let season is now becoming fruitful as he has already getting a trophy and he is aiming to win more before the end of the season.

Everyone keeps saying that Liverpool played kids and all that, but I checked the line ups, while it may not be all that ideal, they weren't really kids neither. There were some of the big names as well, along with of course kids too. I think that's the point, we are talking about combination of both and that matters.

We are seeing them getting a title and not like that's news neither, Liverpool has been great since Klopp took over, won this before and they have won UCL and the league and the FA Cup, so they won it all and this is one of the least important ones. If Sheffield united won it, then I would understand why they would be happy, but caraboa cup? I really do not think that this one means all that much for them.

I just have a bitter sweet feeling about this man united loss at the weekend as a football fan, the sweet feeling was that, due to the strings of matches they have won, if they had  continued that way, they will feel that the team doesn't need any strengthening especially in midfield and defense, but the bitter feeling is that, the loss was a massive step backward in their quest for champions league competition, but for this Manchester united team to achieve their aim of qualifying for Europe most prestigious tournament, they just have to be more consistent in grinding out results, even when they are not in their best form.

This was one of those games that would have cost me the bet slip but damn thank god I didn't submit anything. Exactly during times when everyone thinks that Ten Hag is getting things done and getting things right and that Manchester United is on the right path to qualify for the Europa League at least, I thought that this must be a guaranteed win at Old Trafford. I guess everybody thought that. But what is really insane is how equal that game was. It wasn't as if Fulham had only two attempts and was lucky enough to hit them both. Fulham had lots of attempts and was able to create so many chances over the course of the whole game that in summary it must be said that this game was several steps back for Manchester United. With that shape I doubt that they will achieve anything of significance this season.

We can imagine what it would be like if Liverpool played with their full main squad at that time. Chelsea would definitely be more stressed and reluctant to handle various attacks from Liverpool's main players. Yes, Liverpool didn't play as well and as effectively as usual, but Chelsea couldn't even match it. Even though in the final minutes, Chelsea seemed to be really trying to at least find a draw match, but they still failed.

So, this is a very valuable farewell gift for Klopp too. Furthermore, they also certainly hope that there will be another trophies that can be presented at the end of his career at Liverpool this season, both in the EPL and the UEFA Europe League. Aaaahhh, remembering this all becomes a little sad, because after all, Klopp is very attached to Liverpool.

It was really unlucky day for Manchester United, the goal in the last minutes was very disappointing but yeah sometimes unlucky day can come to anyone including Manchester United, overall Manchester United did not play bad it's just that Fulham also played well and luck is on their side. Besides disappointing, this defeat also hindered Manchester United from approaching the European League zone they are 3 points behind Tottenham and Tottenham still have one match to play, if Tottenham wins in the next match then Manchester United are 6 points behind this means that the challenges are increasingly difficult to get tickets to the European League.

But you must be talking about the time a few weeks ago as Arsenal has significantly stabilized their game in recent weeks and they are not facing any unnecessary loses of points all the time. It rather looks ok for me and how they are doing and now with that last win they cearly underpinned their ambition to play for the Premier League title this year.

I am surprised that Manchester City has so many of these narrow results. I am not sure why that is the case, but when you look at the player names then that can't be the problem. No doubt that Haaland alone could have scored more goals than he actually did, but so far it is a lot about the result for Manchester City. It is time for them to show more dominance.

The goal that occurred in the 2 minutes before extra time runs out makes this a deep regret for Chelsea because i feel that if in the end they can continue to survive in the last 2 minutes then the possibility of Penalty is a different result because in the end the match is determined by mentality and luck in penalties but Van Dijk actually scored a goal that made Chelsea lose momentum and difficult to equalize the score in the last 2 minute .

This is a little regrettable but it did happen so that with the results that happened this made Chelsea have to lose the trophy that was in front of their eyes even though it might be the only trophy for Chelsea this season if they could win but after losing the final now then it looks like Chelsea will have to fast title again this season .

On the other hand we actually have to congratulate now for Liverpool and Klopp because with this one trophy it will definitely make a good spirit for them especially Klopp target now is definitely to get as many trophies as he can to give a good last impression before his farewell to Liverpool at the end of the season.

Fulham can break the bad trend at Old Traford. After 21 years without a win, Fulham was finally able to win 1-2. After a good trend in 7 matches they finally lost at home. It seems that Hojlound's injury is making Man United difficult. They also did not perform well in the extra minutes of the second half. This made Man United lose 3 points. The chances of entering the Europa League Zone are getting harder again. Luckily Totenham also lost to Wolves, so their point gap is not far.

Klopp wants to give them the best before he retires next season so he will do whatever it takes to achieve that now that Liverpool have won a trophy, they still have several targets at least 2 trophies can still be won. We know that Liverpool is currently having injury problems but that's not an obstacle they are still playing optimally, imagine if Liverpool played with a full squad of course they can be a threat to anyone. In the next 2 days Liverpool will play in the FA Cup and I am sure they will qualify for the next round.

Ten Hag’s interview after the game also made me laugh, as always, he again said that the team was moving in the right direction and blah blah blah. He probably thinks that a joke repeated many times only becomes funnier. I saw statistics where United are in the top in recent games in terms of the number of shots they allowed on their own goal. Even Luton has done this an obscene number of times. The fact that they won for a while was rather luck. But it is not infinite, and if you statistically play poorly, sooner or later this will be reflected in the results.

The better you removed your mind from the idea that Manchester United is a team that is title contending in the EPL. Manchester United has no hope in the EPL title. The only reason they are putting efforts to win most of their matches is because of their reputation, qualification for the next UCL league competition, and lastly to maintain the love of their fans. They are aware that it won't be possible to try to fight for the EPL title.

Currently it is not even easy for Manchester City. They are getting it tough from Liverpool and Arsenal. With goals points and normal points these two teams are battling it, and Manchester City is no were to be seen. It will be a luck if Manchester City wins the league again. This is not last season i am certain that Arsenal and Liverpool are way more serious to win the EPL title now.

The Carabao Cup final game yesterday between Liverpool and Chelsea was undoubtedly a very entertaining game to football fans that aren't supporting any of the two clubs but a very nervous one for fans of the two clubs because of how intensed the game was. Before the extra time, the two teams saw their goals been ruled out for offsides while Chelsea did hit the bar on two different occasions but it was in the dying minutes of the second half of the extra time that Virgil van Dijk whose first goal in the game was ruled off for offside rose up to score a header that made sure Liverpool leaves the Wembley stadium with the league cup trophy.

Liverpool manager will be leaving the club at the end of the season and is trying to make sure he wins as many trophies as possible to use them as his farewell gifts to the club that's immensely supported him over the last seven seasons. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino who initially took Tottenham Hotspur to the UEFA Champions League final in 2018/19 season but failed to win it once again left a final with an English club with the trophy and his facial expressions after the final whistle spoke volume of how frustrated he felt with that result. Chelsea were the better side on the pitch of you ask me but Liverpool were the lucky side and that's why they won.

It's caused by manchester united was facing mediocre clubs in the last games but the different result happened when manchester united should have played against fulham. I can't deny that missing hojlund has also become the main factor why mu was also losing in that game.
Rasford and some players were not able performing better in that game. No doubt that MU was suffering the lose against fulham which is still placing at the bottom. Fulham looked like a weak team but this club has good squad It's started with some great winger line willan and many more.
Manchester united was not lucky enough when iwobi's shoot is not blocked by onana. Oh i remember that how onana was only seeing the ball without even putting some efforts to block it. This goal keeper is so weird.
Onana was always giving up before he was trying to block the ball.
