Liverpool again showed a positive trend after defeating Newcastle with a large enough score and this increasingly showed how Liverpool could give messages to some of their competitors in the standings. Salah returned to being a player who played a role in bringing Liverpool to win the match because thanks to the two goals printed, Liverpool could secure three points and the remaining two other goals were scored by Jones and Gakpo.

Newcastle really lost the shape of the game as usual and the injury of some players made everything change and now they are only able to get 29 points from 20 matches. If this condition continues, I am sure that Eddie Howe's foster children will get worse at the bottom of the standings and this condition is not good for them.

If you look at the performance of the two teams, West Ham has recently been better than Brighton and besides that the match will be held at West Ham's home ground which is an advantage for the hosts. And the most important thing we have to know is that West Ham always wins when playing at home, and the opposing team always has difficulty scoring goals when playing at West Ham's home ground.
However, Brighton will also be a difficult opponent for West Ham, because in five matches the two Brighton teams managed to achieve three wins, one draw, and West Ham only won one win. And the head to head results of the two teams and the performance conditions of the two teams will make betting confusing. Because both teams have the same chance of winning and it will be more difficult to choose a draw, what is certain is that both teams will definitely have the ambition to get full points and will play very carefully.

Well if you come to look at it, they have actually tried very well themselves although they have the money like you said and having money is something like an advantage because they can buy the players they want but you can credit the management of the team because they have done exceedingly well compared to teams like Chelsea who had all the money and bought players but still can't put the Working formula together.

Im only expecting westham to win the match caused by brighton will be making some mistakes started from its backpass strategy. Brighton was a club that is very often in building its attack from the bottom, which is having very big risk to be countered through low blcok strategy owned by westham. Westham was also very often pressuring the defenders too. Brighton shall be so careful with it. It's caused by the main weakness of zerbi's strategy can be read easily. If Westham increases the pressure on the opposing players when they attempt a back pass, it is likely that the players will lose control of the ball.

It's not my first time to see that brighton was making mistkae when it was doing back pass. Zerbi needs to make sure his team will not be very often in doing backpass. The club that is aware of the main weakness of brighton will be intensively pressuring the defenders when they were building from the bottom.The goal keeper must always be ready to face the worst situation when the defenders will be missing the ball. This is the main weakness owned by brighton that needs to be solved as soon as possible before the match.

Due to sudden decline into their performance and having 3 defeats from 5 games with 1 draw and 1 win is surely never been ideal, but this happens into middle of the season which is good instead of happening near the end of season and losing title like last year currently they are at the fourth spot with 5 points difference from leaders Liverpool and chance of fightback is available, but they need to work on their weakness like they fail to score goals in their last 2 games and have only 3 goals from 5 games, and they concede 6 goals which bring their defense down which is also needs to be fixed.

Liverpool is surely currently at their best with Manchester City is also already at the third spot and their next game can bring them to the second, but we can expect fierce fight for the top spots in these teams which are having quality players and good performance but need to be consisted of.

If I were you, I would place a bet on West Ham winning rather than choosing a draw. The results obtained by West Ham in the last few matches are more promising than those achieved by Brighton. This game will also be played at West Ham headquarters, of course it will further arouse the players enthusiasm to extend their winning record.
The positions of these two teams are very close in the standings, West Ham is three points ahead of Brighton. Their very fragile defense makes it very difficult for Brighton to win points in this game, especially since West Ham's attack line is in its best form.

The best possibility for this match is a draw. But I think West Ham has a bigger chance of winning if they maintain their mentality and performance in their last two matches when they beat Arsenal and Man United.
Brighton is not a weak team, but I believe West Ham will have several advantages in the match.

Newcastle become a rich club in the EPL, but players are still not sure about Newcastle's future potential. If this season Newcastle can improve its performance and at least can finished in 4th position, maybe in the summer transfer window, Newcastle can find better players than at the start of this season. Because there are prospects shown by Newcastle if they successfully compete in the UCL for two consecutive seasons.

How this season is progressing I believe Liverpool will win the Premier League because they are in real great form this season, whereas Arsenal is not in great form and is losing matches, which is why football can be predicted. When Arsenal started this season new, many people predicted that they would win the trophy because they were winning matches and even defeating Manchester City, who were giving them a headache in the competition. However, they are currently losing to minor clubs that no one expects they will do that.

I hoped they would do well in the Champions League versus Porto, because Porto are in terrific form and have more Champions League experience than Arsenal, who use to qualify every season. So I think Arteta needs to tighten his bet and improve his players performances, but I don't think they'll win a trophy this season because they've missed their chances. I think they'll have another chance to top the league table if Liverpool misbehaves, but that won't be an easy task because I don't believe Liverpool will lose any points now.

I was also expecting very good season for them after their first end in top 4 but suddenly injuries and suspension of Tanoli hurt them badly even they are down but still doing reasonable job currently they are second-worst club with their last five matches performance just one win and 4 loses but no one can give any positive response on this performance even now we have serious talk about sack of Eddie Howe which is also doing good job in these conditions, but owners are not happy, and they are looking for the replacement which is surely not ideal thing because they need to give him chance with having some transfer of players in January as well because still this team can give better results.

After break, they are having match against Manchester City which is surely not easy, but I still want management to keep faith in his abilities and allow him to stay until end of this season because he is a man of vision and can do good fightback in coming weeks.

Here I am also favouring West Ham United because in last three games they won with clean sheets and things are turning into good way for them win against Arsenal is surely one of the best for them and with this now player's confident level is also high today's win can bring them to near Tottenham and have 5 points difference from Manchester United which is currently in bad shape and losing points frequently.

Brighton is also very exciting team and their record is also good in last meeting against West Ham United they won and their record against them is also very good which can create good exciting match for the fans with for punters both teams to score and over 2.5 is going to very good with result is not predictable as on match day any team can go through.

In four meetings, Brighton was more dominant head to head with 3 wins and 1 defeat which occurred at the last meeting, 26 August 2023, match 3 or the first half of the season.
I don't think it's very encouraging to use head to head statistics for their second match in the second half of the season because West Ham has recently shown a promising game by beating Manchester United and Arsenal.

On the other hand, I also have doubts that West Ham will appear dominant at home to achieve their third win in a row against Brighton.
Judging by the strength of Roberto De Zerbi's team, my gut feeling is more certain that the most likely result in my opinion is a draw.
The reason is, both teams have shortcomings. Mitoma injury. Meanwhile, Lucas Paqueta, who has been an influential player in the West Ham team, also suffered an injury when they beat Arsenal and had to be replaced in the 33rd minute.

As we await resumption of premier league matches on 13th January, 2024. Here is a recap of how all the matches played out last weekend and the teams positions in the league table.

Liverpool is topping the league table by 45 points, 3 points above the second in the league table Aston Villa who has 42 points, while Manchester city and Arsenal stands in the third and fourth position with 40 points respectively. Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester city and Arsenal are in the top four of the league table while Luton town, Burnley and Sheffield united rocks the bottom 3 in the relegation zone.

I'm not at all surprised by Newcastle's position. This team performed brilliantly in the last season. Everyone was surprised by Newcastle's performance. And this team was able to qualify for the Champions League. This team performed very well. Newcastle should have added more talented players to the squad this season and strengthened the squad. Newcastle's owner is very rich. But he did not provide sufficient funds for the purchase of new players. Several players in the squad have faced injuries this season. And this is why the performance of the team is quite poor now. If Newcastle management had added talented players to the squad before the start of the season, we might not have seen their decline.

He was already a legend before last nights game, and many goals ago. He is one of the few people that stayed with the club for this many years, when I saw last nights eleven, I thought to myself there are like maybe 3 or 4 players who stayed the same since early days, and the rest are all new, and they are still doing amazing, that should be important because only the great ones stayed, rest left and new players joined instead.

I believe that the yare doing fine, and they should be quite happy with what they have, there isn't really anything that could change all that much. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that Salah keeps this up, and it may take a few more years before he starts being not so great.

But in reality, if we consider the odds available at the moment it seems that Brighton is the team that is predicted to have a better chance. Maybe, because at least Brighton has better winning results in the head to head against West Ham, then Brighton can get slightly favored odds. Because anyway, if we consider the results they have so far this season, at least I still assume that West Ham is still a little better than Brighton.

But yes, because at this moment Wes Ham and Brighton have probably the same quality then yes, that factor will certainly make West Ham and Brighton have an equally good chance in this match. Also, in the head to head at least they also get a draw quite often and yes, it is possible that this match will end in a draw too, because they is in an equally good trend at this moment.

Usually when they appear at home then it will be better and confident in the game, for example Brighton when at home was able to win 4-2 with Tottenham and so when playing in front of their own fans have a different atmosphere.

You said right, West Ham and Brighton are almost equal in the game and the statistics are not much different, if you look at the results now especially playing at home then West Ham will be more favorite even though the odds are not much different, I can only guess where West Ham will win, but if Brighton wins I will not be surprised because they can play even crazier.

I am just surprised to see Newcastle in their current position. They started the season with a very good performance, and I never expected their performance to drop. Newcastle is currently in 9th place with 29 points. Out of the last 6 Premier League matches played, they could only win 1 match and lose 5 matches, which is really a bad one for them. I don’t really think participating in the Champions League is the reason why Newcastle dropped in performance, because since they played their last Champions League match and they lost to AC Milan, they have played 4 Premier League matches and lost 3 out of the 4 matches played. Newcastle is no longer playing the Champions League, so they should be back to form, but their performance keeps on dropping.

That's right, Manchester City have a game in hand that could possibly put Liverpool under pressure. However, no one knows how the Manchester City match will turn out, especially because in the last few matches they have found it difficult to win. Liverpool have been better than the previous season, but I believe Manchester City can still try something to be proud of at the end of the season. They were a little down in the first half due to player injuries, but I think Manchester City will return to leading the standings in the second half of the season.

This is the reason why Manchester City has dominated the Premier League in the last few seasons since Pep Guardiola coached them. Liverpool has only been able to win 1 title in the last 5 seasons, while Manchester City has collected 5 titles in 5 seasons. Arsenal fell short in the competition, despite their improving form.

Yes, I also see this match as balanced, it's just that West Ham brings quite good capital because they can pack 4 wins from the last 5 matches they played and also they will play at home. But Brighton came not to taste defeat they also want to bring at least 1 point from this match.
If seen actually the opportunities given to them are not much different and it could really happen. We'll see in this match who will be able to perform better, because if one of them plays badly then they will lose, whoever it is.
The match will be interesting if they play an open match, and I hope so. If one of them just plays it safe then it will be a monotonous match.
