So, it seems that Liverpool is under investigation from EFL because a lot of their COVID-positive players proved to be false positives - meaning that their game vs. Arsenal was postponed needlessly.
Some clubs have complained because their games were not postponed in similar cases.

I don't really understand this - Liverpool was in a good situation to play Arsenal and they would have wanted to. What are these people thinking? That the players faked their tests?

Let's see how the investigation goes but this looks like a witch hunt.

What! Their COVID cases came out to be false?

If this was done on purpose it's a matter of great shame. I don't know why they would do such things. Although we should let the investigation run till we get to a conclusion but if this was done on purpose. the club should be punished hard as postponing a match messes up a lot of things for both the clubs and also the PL management.

I thank FA CUP is not important match for bigger club like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, they always prefer to choose second player composition for this tournament and I think they make FA CUP as bonus if success become the champion. Although FA CUP is most oldest tournament I think they keep use second composition player for playing. I think they will looks serious to get regular player composition if have been pass to final stage and they will play as top composition how to get trophy.

If there is an unimportant cup for top clubs of the Premier League, it is definitely the EFL Cup. Because that one has a much lower quality than the FA Cup. Maybe FA Cup is not as prestigious as the Premier League of course but it is the second biggest tournament in England I believe. The top clubs are trying their best in their tight schedule. And there haven't been much surprise in the FA Cup when it comes to its winners. Generally, the top clubs have won it so far.

yes, because it is often filled by second line players, making matches by big teams unattractive, the composition of players played by big teams does not describe the prestige of the FA trophy. To be honest, I don't care about the result of the FA Cup match even if it's played by a big or my favorite team.
if the FA Cup trophy is not prestigious and the team doesn't seem to care about the winning, it's better to just delete it this Cup, it only make the schedule more crowded.

I used to watch FA cups but I find it just a distraction these days. Top Premier League teams do not even see it as a priority since they only send their second tier teams to compete most of the time. It's also not surprising when they lose to Championship teams because of that.
Thanks for the link! I didn't pay attention for the topic since it isn't that active comparing to this one and because there was talks about FA Cup and EFL Cup here too Smiley

Arsenal have proven that they can win the previous derby which ended 3-1 to Arsenal's victory. But the problem is now they are playing at home to Tottenham where Arsenal are not very good at away match. Arsenal have lost 5 times at away match but because of their good form then they deserve to be favourites. But should Arsenal fail, it would be their 6th away loss this season from 11 games.
In recent years the encounters between Tottenham and Arsenal has mostly gone in favor of the team at home, although arsenal lost 1-0 last night,  arsenal right now is a team that can play very well and Tottenham as well, although they have their own weaknesses and backlash.  it would definitely be an interesting derby encounter between both teams but. We should be expecting a drama on this match day and Arsenal hasn’t really been able to deliver away from home this season, I think Tottenham have a upper hand to win this fixture.
Nottingham Forrest had great success by knocking out Arsenal.  But his next opponent is at least as strong as Arsenal.  They were paired with Leicester City.  I find this defeat embarrassing for Arsenal.  They may not have cared because it was the FA CUP, but Arsenal should have won this game anyway.
It was a very poor performance from Arsenal. They were busy doing nothing, passing the ball side ways and backwards instead of looking to create chance and score. I think only the first 14 players are good but the rest of the back up players and fringe players are not. It was quite displeasing, 67% possession, 10 shots, 0 on target, and simply excuses to follow. I was expecting Arteta to put out his strongest team, kill the game off then rest your top players. They do not have the depth in quality of players. When you pay players these wages and supposedly playing at the highest level, you should expect more. Arteta did not just learn from the first match he play with Nottingham forest in FA cup last two season.

At the same time, they try their second tier players to keep them hot. This is an opportunity for them to show their abilities. I think if they play well it is not impossible to become a player in the first team. Yes, it's a little difficult, but there's nothing wrong with showing their ability to be noticed by the coach.

what interesting Southampton vs Brentford tomorrow? who will win?.
the host is favored to win about 40% while Brentford has to chance of 25% win and 27% tie. this is the mid-table match, Southampton have only 2 different points, they have to rank up to 11th when winning the match, they have to come back after getting a bad trend in 6 matches only have 1 win. while Brentford a bit the same situation, but in the last match they were able to beat Aston Villa 2-1. Several players were absent because of AFCON. Southampton without Moussa Djenepo, while Brentford without Frank Onyeka.
In a situation like this Brentford should have more motivation to win the match after they managed to beat Gerrard and his team [Aston Villa]. Brentford is known to have a pretty good game so it is almost a chance to present an interesting game in many matches. I see them as a distinct team where strength is built by performance and teamwork. Also, Southamton should not be underestimated as they can surprise people at any time during the match.
I believe there is no other option for Brentford to win. because the next game will be very difficult for them. met Liverpool, Man United, also City. Of course, it will make it very difficult for Brentford to build a continued good form. it will be a grueling fight.
despite playing away, there was no other option to secure their points. otherwise, the teams below them are ready to take advantage.

This is what the case has often been before hand, now, times have changed. Just like the Bundesliga where we've got a Bayern Munich dominance of the league, the EPL has turned out to be confined to very few teams in the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.  No other team counts so much and you can be almost certain that, these 3 would always be in the top 3 spots while the other teams struggle on whatever spot is left.
Looking at this fact, the rest teams have redirected there energy and force towards the FA and Carabao Cup for there chance of going home with a trophy. Even Europa now has become difficult, not to mention the UCL. So, its not really a game for second eleven anymore, just a slight change but, you could be sure the big dogs would be out once the time is running out.
I would not say that all three top places will necessarily belong to Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, but rather I would say that the winner of the championship is likely to be one of them Wink It's just that the Premier League is the tournament where the real strength of the club is manifested over a long distance and the accidents inherent in the cup system are leveled. Accordingly, the most powerful clubs at the moment are Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, but this does not mean that it will last forever Grin Let's say earlier it was also necessary to include Manchester United in this list, but due to a combination of certain circumstances, we cannot do this yet Wink

No one following FA Cup and noticing that Arsenal got kicked by the 9th championship team? and that ManU passed with 1 goal vs Aston Villa and that McTominay scored Roll Eyes
We will have a mixture of EPL games with EFL Cup matches between Liverpool and Arsenal then Spurs and Chelsea then 3 day later Chelsea will face City and Spurs will face Arsenal. Pretty pressured schedule there Undecided

Probably because this is Premier League thread, not a cup thread. Most cup competitions have their unique threads, I don't know if FA Cup have one. Arsenal's loss was a big blow though.

League games will go on today, Southampton will play with Brentford at home. Southampton is favorite by bookmakers, probably due to home advantage. Brentford is higher in standing though. I wouldn't bet on this game as it's open for all three outcomes.

Honestly I feel like City is so good these days that I feel like they could just beat Chelsea by a hefty margin very easily. -snip- City will beat Chelsea, that much I am pretty sure about.
The chance for Manchester City to win in the upcoming matches is surely bigger than Chelsea. They are in a good form and they will play at home. While Chelsea isn't really in a good form after they have a problem with Lukaku. I saw Chelsea attackers become not really as well as before since the problem happened. It makes Chelsea lose their power in the attacking line and they play not really solid anymore. So, I also doubt that Chelsea can win in Manchester City home. But the match should be quite tight, Chelsea isn't a weak team and they have strong defenders. Probably Manchester City wins 2-0 or 2-1 in the upcoming match.

If Manchester City plays like they did with Arsenal, Chelsea can beat them. Chelsea is not a team to be underestimated. Manchester City is a really good team, but we also have to consider the possibility of Chelsea winning. Chelsea can be a good option, especially for betting. Even if it's not a favorite, there are always possibilities.
Honestly I feel like City is so good these days that I feel like they could just beat Chelsea by a hefty margin very easily. Liverpool and Chelsea are fighting for that second position at this point, nobody has any doubt that City would be champions, we all know they have already decided that. Hell sportsbet.io is so sure of it that they decided to pay out early to City outright bets, think about how guaranteed it is looking right now, to be fair they did it last year as well and that really worked as well because City won, and I am guessing same will happen this year as well so they just paid out early but the real winners will be still the winners. City will beat Chelsea, that much I am pretty sure about.

I think that the Manchester City - Chelsea game next week will be a quite satisfying game for most of us. I hope so at least. These teams both have an unbeaten streak for many weeks. Manchester City are in a much better situation now as they won all of their last 11 EPL games. When it comes to Chelsea, they didn't lose their last six EPL games too. But they got four draws in those ones which is not good. But there is a feeling in me like Chelsea will defeat them. Maybe it is really hard but I don't know.

With the speed at which Guardiola and his prolific team are playing, one won't be wrong if he says: give Manchester City the EPL title already. It has been thrilling and full of positive vibes watching their games at etihad stadium even when they play away. The way the are structured in terms of game tactics is worth studying. Unlike their neighbour Manchester United whose problem goes beyond tactics of their coach but merely the indecisiveness and less confidence of their players on the pitch, for Manchester United to grace the stage of play as a top side a lot of overhaul of team philosophy and players needs to take its course
Although I agree with you on Manchester United, there is still a lot of games ahead of us and we can see an improvement from ManU. But one must also consider the age of Cristiano Ronaldo and how much he can contribute even though he is incredible at his old age. But we now by now that age is simply a number for him and it doesn't matter. I really wonder what he will do.

Also yes, Manchester City also has this years title already I think too. Guardiola is doing brilliantly considering he is managing a team at the EPL, not La Liga. With the way they play, we can consider them the winner of the title this year. I don't see any possibility where they lose the championship.
