Although indeed, I also confident that Liverpool will win in this home match against Chelsea this time because yes, of course Liverpool still have better quality at this moment compared to Chelsea . But at least, if we check their head to head results when Liverpool are still in a good trend and Chelsea are in a bad trend. But yes, the reality is that their head to head results in their last few meetings, in fact ended in a draw too. So yes, considering such results, it is possible that Chelsea will be able to provide a difficult resistance in this match. If that happens, then of course it will still be difficult for Liverpool to get three points in this match, and it is unlikely to be easy at all.
Liverpool and Chelsea both had bad forms in the last season but Liverpool are better and in this season, it continues to be the same. Differences between two clubs are bigger in this season when Liverpool are holding a first position and Chelsea still don't see top four too nearly.

Not only head to head result between Liverpool vs Chelsea but generally Chelsea know how to bring troubles to big clubs. Liverpool are stronger, have better form but they must be careful with their plan, tactics and operation in the match and don't make mistake to give Chelsea chances to make a surprising winning. I am sure if Liverpool players make mistakes, Chelsea players are good enough to convert it to goals and beat Liverpool.

Newcastle deserved the win tonight, and it seems like teams have figured out Aston Villa's style of play. It's time for some tactical changes to regain momentum. Aston Villa needs to react swiftly and regain strength after the frustrating results in the past few weeks. Keeping the faith, hoping for a good run for the rest of the season, and after utilizing all these challenging outcomes.
There is no way for Eddie Howe to put pressure on his players so that they can play optimally because Newcastle has suffered four consecutive defeats, which has forced them to move to 10th place. Newcastle have no choice anymore, they have to get the full three points in the match. against Aston Villa even though it was difficult because playing as a guest, Newcastle seemed to be full of confidence from the start of the match and that was seen in the results of the match where Newcastle beat Aston Villa with a score of 1 - 3 and that made Newcastle move up to 7th place in the current standings.

Aston Villa needs to learn from their shortcomings, the mistakes they made in yesterday's match, of course losing at home was quite embarrassing in front of all their supporters who were disappointed with the less than satisfactory results. I am sure that with this victory Newcastle can appear more confident from the previous bad results and can be more consistent in the next match as well as Aston Villa who are currently chasing the EPL title or targeting the top four this season.

Chelsea have very little chance to win today's match, especially for them it will be an away game. Yes, Chelsea have gained momentum recently, they started to lose less often. But the club will not be able to oppose Liverpool. I expect a confident victory for the Merseysiders, they are very strong and even Salah's absence did not affect the game of the EPL leader. And most likely Liverpool will still play on emotions after the news of Klopp's departure.
Chelsea don't even have a pure striker, you can check the line up, Palmer will play at center forward position. Sanchez is injured too, they will play with second goalkeeper. While Liverpool? they have complete eleven players, no problem without Salah.
The absence of Mohamed Salah in the Liverpool squad will not have an impact on Liverpool's performance when they host Chelsea. Liverpool has everything they need from defense to attackers and they are even better than Chelsea. It is true what you said that Chelsea does not have a pure attacker, in fact it will affect Chelsea's performance. Chelsea only hopes that with a draw, if they win, it will be a bonus for Chelsea in the next match.

I think that 4th place for Chelsea this season is not a very realistic prospect and it's good if this season Pocchetino can get Chelsea at least to 6th place and get into the Euro cups next year. So far everything is going well for Chelsea, the players have improved a lot compared to last season, they have become more confident, more goals and Chelsea's matches are quite effective, you can see that the team is not sitting in defense. All this is still far from ideal, but the team that got Pocchetino last season was on the verge of leaving the EPL and it seemed that this season Chelsea will again fight to stay in the EPL, but Pocchetino was able to turn the situation around and now no one in Chelsea does not think in the departure and this is already a great achievement.
Currently the Chelsea squad already looks more like they have a better game scheme. The players have begun to understand each other and the level of effectiveness of their attacks has also begun to appear. In the match against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, we can see Chelsea has been able to keep up with Aston Villa. Even the passing accuracy of Chelsea players is also much better.

But still today's match against Liverpool will definitely be a very difficult match. but if Chelsea can get a draw it's pretty good.

When Kloop was about to leave, he was one of the coaches who stayed for a long time. At the beginning of his arrival did not make Liverpool immediately become a good club like it is today. He came in 2015 and got the first trophy in 2018/2019. They won the UCL trophy and went on to win the EPL.  Not instant but they continue to process, Furthermore, I know Guardiola, I think he is the most successful manager today. With good financial support he managed to have 16 trophies in 7 years. I'm not too amazed.

But for Arteta and Frank they are pretty great. Arsenal with the conditions at that time were able to improve until now. Then Brentford with Frank they were surprising, without many star players they were able to always improve every year of competition. These four managers are currently the longest serving team managers in the EPL.

This is an unbalanced match, Burnley is not an opponent capable of putting high pressure on Manchester City.
Of course, Manchester City is quite the favorite to win the match and I'm sure no one doubts that because in terms of quality these two teams have very significant differences and also Manchester City is struggling in the top competition with Liverpool so they certainly won't make mistakes that result in failed to get full points in every match they played.


It doesn't matter whether this match is balanced or not, what is certain is that Pep will aim for full points in this match in order to take over the position occupied by Arsenal in 2nd place. although it is doubtful that Erling Haalaand, Akanji will be able to appear in this match. even if Pep plays him, it is very likely that he will start from the bench. like De Bruyne, he will also start from the bench. so, it is very likely that the pattern that Pep will apply to his squad is 4-2-3-1. while Burnley is predicted to use a 4-4-2 pattern. which means, they will try to play defense. referring to the betting exchange, there is no ideal option for me. however, you can be sure that City have a very high probability of winning this match. at a minimum, City will score 2 goals. In essence, Pep is targeting his team to shift Arsenal's position in 2nd place.

In other matches, the match between Liverpool vs Chelsea will be an exciting match. Playing at Anfield, Liverpool is far superior to its rival team Chelsea. although in this match, Klopp could not field his main team squad. but still, the bookie is giving low odds on Liverpool with @1.57. In the Chelsea camp, Poche will maximize his team's ability to be unbeatable by Liverpool. although, this match is an away match for Chelsea. Based on H2H meetings between these two teams, in 7 meetings in all competitions, the match always resulted in a draw. apparently, it seems like these two teams are having a hard time beating each other even though one of them is not performing well. moreover, in this match Liverpool will not play Moh Salah. Poche will take advantage of his team, at least Chelsea will target victory after winning full points in the three previous matches. even though it will be a tough match, especially since Liverpool is in a positive trend. there are not many choices, other than fighting with hard work. Maybe there will be a surprise in this match, and Chelsea odds @5.20. for Chelsea fans, this is very tempting. My estimate, +1 handicap option @1.91 Chelsea. quite challenging, even though there are big risks, we'll just have to wait for the final result of this match.

Aston Villa was only able to win one match in the last five matches, lossing points they obtained allowed Tottenham to overtake their position and kick them out of the top four of the standings. Aston Villa gradually experienced a decline in performance, Unai Emery fleet was no longer as consistent as in the first half of the season. Predicted to be like the next Leicester City, now Aston Villa doesn't seem to be able to maintain its position to lock in a ticket to the Champions League.

Aston Villa is in a difficult situation. They are only 3 points ahead of Tottenham and their chances of getting Champions League tickets could disappear. This is really bad because previously they performed really great and could even get first place. Everyone thought Aston Villa would get second place at the end of the season. But looking at their current form I think they will have difficulty being in the top four if they can't improve their game.
Newcastle deserved the win tonight, and it seems like teams have figured out Aston Villa's style of play. It's time for some tactical changes to regain momentum. Aston Villa needs to react swiftly and regain strength after the frustrating results in the past few weeks.

Newcastle won that game due to their tactical manoeuvre, they've really studied the best way to play Aston villa, I for one felt it was going to be a draw game, given the qualities of Acton villa at the moment.
Looking at the the first goal from schar, I thought it was Victory for shot moment, before I could say jack Robinson, schar made it two, it was at that point I knew Newcastle are settling for a victory, the substitution of Alexander Isak and brining in Almiron to game too changed the tactical style of Newcastle a little bit at the front line, however Newcastle where brilliant with their style of play.

Liverpool will host Chelsea at home today. I didn't think that the match would end in a draw like their previous meeting; however, I think that Liverpool will win. We can't say that Chelsea is back to their high level of play; Liverpool need to win the match to remain at the top of the league, and if they make any mistakes to draw or lose any of their games, Manchester City or Arsenal will take over the first position.
Chelsea are still far from top four but they will try because giving up now is too early and their players will want to show their best performances to get attention from their national team coaches. Euro 2024 is only some months ahead and star players will not want to miss this big tournament. In Chelsea, they have some young star players who will try to have their first Euro tournament.

I think that 4th place for Chelsea this season is not a very realistic prospect and it's good if this season Pocchetino can get Chelsea at least to 6th place and get into the Euro cups next year. So far everything is going well for Chelsea, the players have improved a lot compared to last season, they have become more confident, more goals and Chelsea's matches are quite effective, you can see that the team is not sitting in defense.

I also think Chelsea are in 10th position with 31 points. And like them, their top 3 teams have 1 point more than them so they can overcome them. However, those who are in the 3rd position are 4 points ahead of Chelsea.so Chelsea will have to win two matches in a row to overtake this team as well.  So I don't see any chance of Chelsea going any better than 6 th position on point table. so I don't worry too much about Chelsea. I'm thinking about Arsenal. they got some relief by winning today's match. they are only 2 points behind Liverpool so they can do a lot better going forward

How surprising was Brighton's defeat against hosts Luton in last night's match and I still can't believe De Zerbi's men conceded 4 goals in this match. Two quick goals were scored by Adebayo and Ogbene and with this advantage it was enough to prove that Brighton's chances of winning were very slim. It didn't stop there, towards the end of the first half, Adebayo scored a brace and at the same time closed a 3-0 lead over Brighton.

Even if Brighton could recover in the second half it is possible that the result would be a draw but it seems that I had too much hope for this team and instead they conceded again and Adebayo recorded his hat trick in this match. Brighton played very badly and perhaps it is true that the absence of a player like Kaoru Mitoma had a complete impact on the creativity of their attack line. Certainly there are quite a few bettors who lose money in a match where it is clear who the winner is and perhaps very few bettors place bets on Luton. Well, congratulations to Luton and at least they still have hope of staying in the EPL this season.

Before the match started, the hope that I had for Brighton was too much. I was thinking Luton Town could not score a single goal, but when the match started, the way the match was going from the first half, I later lost hope for them. All my thought was that since Brighton are in better shape than Luton and they are doing well in their matches when you compare them to Luton Town's, I thought the same victory would happen to Brighton in this match, but they failed to do so.

When the first and second goals were scored in the first half, I knew that Brighton were going nowhere because their performance was very bad. They didn’t show anything that would make the fans think that they had hope. Although Luton also used the energy of being at home to concur with Brighton, the result is still too bad for Brighton.
I'm actually the opposite and I quite believe that Luton will make it a little difficult for Brighton but it shouldn't be with a crushing score like this. Maybe from Luton I expected that at least they would only score 1 goal but in fact it was chaotic and they never stopped breaking into Brighton's goal. Indeed, we have the same thoughts regarding Brighton's chances of winning, but it seems like they were careless and have fallen too deep.

As bad as it is for Brighton, it is impossible for them to lose like this and we also have to accept the reality that in football anything can still happen, including Luton with this landslide win. From now on I will be really wary of Brighton and will not be too hasty in placing bets when they play. All my betting winnings had to be destroyed in this one disappointing match.

If Aston Villa have Mbappe, they might become a champion. Tongue

I think Aston Villa is lack of strategy, take a look with their line up, it's either 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2, nothing else. Aston Villa is a textbook play team, so it will make the opponents know their loopholes.

Even if they have Mbappe it would still be too difficult for Aston Villa.  Cheesy  As the team consistency goes down recently they started to get really poor results. There is only one win in their last five league games.

But it has never been the main goal for Aston Villa to become champions here. They must be trying to focus on their main goals first. Even being in top four is a great achievement so far. But can they keep their presence here? It will be really difficult while playing like this. They were horrible against Newcastle as well especially in the first half.

Yeah truly if Aston Villa should have a player like Mbappe there performance will greatly improved more than the way they are now because considering the impacts Mbappe has made on PSG I will seriously agree with you that having Mbappe on Aston Villa will surely be a game changer for the team, however Aston Villa has been very good this season considering there stand on the premier League they have made a good record for themselves by securing the fourth position on the premier League while Tottenham Hotspur is beneath them, although I never expected Aston Villa to become more successful on the league table than Tottenham Hotspur because we all no how Tottenham Hotspur started on this league season during the early time but there inconsistency has made them remain on the fourth position, so perhaps what Aston Villa really need is a player like Mbappe to enhance there performance more.

to be able to secure Champions League tickets next season is clearly very difficult for Aston Villa especially as there are still many matches left and this could make clubs like Tottenham take over 4th place or Newcastle but because this season Edie Howe is in a situation that is a little far from expectations. Last season it was possible that Newcastle was hungry to compete with Man United to win tickets to the European League.

when I saw the start of the season where Aston Villa topped the standings, it made me optimistic but maybe Unay no longer has much energy because his players are starting to lose their ideal performance. Aston Villa could also be a candidate for a European League ticket.

Some people think Aston Villa might end up winning the league this season, but I know that will be kind of impossible. I knew their performance was going to drop, and I once said that if Aston Villa are not careful, they won’t be able to end the season in the top four this season. Aston Villa's performance has really dropped. In their last 5 matches played, they were able to win just 1 match, draw 2 matches, and lose 2 matches, which is really a bad one for them. If they want to maintain the top 4, they shouldn’t be wasting the opportunities they have right now.

Emery in disaster right now. It's caused by this will be also helping other club to prepare the right strategy against aston villa. Aston villa was always struggling when it was facing the defensive strategy. Aston villa was often winning the game when it faced the club that played offensively but the different situation when club was facing a club that used parking bus.
It has proven very effective in pressuring aston villa to be even more offensive and newcastle was just making it happen by destroying aston villa with huge margins. It's amazing to see newcastle to regain its good performance again. As long as the club can know the main weakness of aston villa and it's quite easy to beat it.

Emery needs to fix this as soon as possible caused by the club must have stayed at the top. It's caused by aston villa is very close to qualify for the UCL next season. it will be disappointing many people if villa will be struggling to defend its position.
The club can at least qualify for the europa league at the end of season. The club must be trying even harder to defend it. I meant that if aston villa must put more effort to perform better in the upcoming game.

Villa is gonna face sheffield and it will become an easy match for villa to gather three points.

The latest defeat to Newcastle left a big question mark as to why they were able to lose points again, even though we see that Newcastle is experiencing quite a serious injury storm. I feel it will be difficult for Aston Villa in the future to break into the top four again if Tottenham overtake them, they will get an additional 3 points by beating Brentford tomorrow. For Newcastle, the victory they just got broke the bad results they had in their last four matches, an additional 3 points put them in 7th place in the standings temporarily.
Aston Villa's opportunity to stay in the top four of the standings is still not closed even though they are experiencing a decline in the last five matches.
The English Premier League competition always presents surprises, including the Aston Villa - Newcastle United match. The most widely circulated prediction is a draw, but in reality Aston Villa lost.
Before discussing Aston Villa's decline in performance, Newcastle has also experienced it. It is thought that Eddie Howe will not be able to make Newcastle achieve what he achieved last season.

Defeat at home provides an opportunity for Spurs to overtake their position in the standings because Tottenham's potential to win is great against Brentford at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Maddison's return to Tottenham's midfield was welcomed positively. Maddison will probably play with Bentacur in sharing roles to make things easier for Richarlison and Werner.

Aston Villa is just ahead of Tottenham with just 3 points. If Tottenham can win their next match, then they will have the same points with Aston villa, and as we can see a decline in Aston Villa's performance, how sure are we that they won’t be losing more points? In the coming matches, Aston Villa just has to be careful and improve their performance.

The most important thing is how the players react to this defeat.

Playing a high line when you are not going to press from the front is suicidal, and playing from the back at a slow tempo creates a lot of problems.
This tactic didn't work, and Unai will have to come up with something new for the next game. Players also have to get the ball out of their area more quickly.
I am still confident that Unai Emery will overcome this minor setback and show the fans why he is one of the best coaches in the world.
