Yeah, I've been betting against Leicester past couple of games. Vardy and Mahrez are really the only sparks there left, although they do seem to be reminding us a little bit more about why we loved them two years ago. They still managed twice the attempts but that should have been the case anyway for the home team. City's probably going to pluck Mahrez away next season too... pretty sad the way things turned out for the team, to be honest.

Chelsea? Just prolonging their misery with that win over plucky Burnley. They still have to host Liverpool in 2 weeks, too. Their Top 4 fight might be over by then at this rate.

A little bit bummed Southampton didn't manage to win vs Leicester but at least the +0.5 AH bet was a win. It would have been so awesome to bag the 3.10 odds for Southampton win as well but nah  I am kinda sad to see them get relegated and hope they will somehow find a way to save themselves 

I'm sure if Chelsea will be able to get a single ticket in champions league, this is not a surprise because Chelsea have always been able to get a place in the champions league even though they have not earned the title there, as Chelsea have not been able to face another big European team

After today's draw Southampton still in very serious trouble for relegating because they need 3 must wins in next four matches and I am not sure these are coming as they have vs Bournemouth home Everton away Swansea away and Manchester City home hardly they can won two matches and these are not enough for staying in Premier League for them
 

after hostpur only draw
and chelsea win meet burnley, this now chelsea open chane to get one ticket in champion league
defeat with totenham hotspur this now only 5 point,

I think the second position will already be owned by Manchester United at the end of the season. I've been thinking like that since Liverpool was defeated by Manchester United, when I felt that Liverpool would not be able to catch Manchester United at the end of the season.

Burnley vs Chelsea - Away win
Leicester vs S’ton - Home win

Southampton need desperately to win in order to avoid being relegated so I think it's a nice call to bet something on Southampton +0.5 as they shouldn't lose today vs Leicester.
Burnley are in a very good winning spree so I think they might surprise Chelsea with a draw or more at home. BTTS & over 2.5 goals in that match.

Chelsea will meet Liverpool in round 37 which is the hardest game in their fixtures. While Tottenham will only meet weaker teams that I think won't be a problem. So the chance for Chelsea to shift Tottenham in the fourth position on the final standings looks impossible for me.

Last night Man Utd took advantage of their game in hand over Liverpool, by beating Bournemouth. Now securing 2nd place would be much easier for them. Tonight feels like a do or die for Chelsea for their final chance of top 4. If they win tonight they would be 5 points behind with four games to go, and both will still have the same number of left over games as they are in the FA Cup semis as well. It would be an interesting finish for spot number 4.

I would assume this is the reason why they announced today no matter how much Real Madrid offered Mo Salah for a transfer they would not trade him.

Why would they as having him on the squad has brought them to the Champions leagues quarter finals and them facing his old team is sweet justice in trading him in the first place.

The FIFA thing was obviously a joke. I'm not a fan of Liverpool or even City, but the Liverpool midfield is not that bad bro. Silva had one of his worst games in both of the Champion League matches against Liverpool. Lock down defence caught the most of City's players not just Silva. Also the defence of City was outplayed just by one player and that is Salah, he is the most creative player I've seen in a while now, Messi can step aside already. That City defence with John Stones is absolute garbage, but I can't blame them, its Pep Guardiloa's fault and his tika taka idiotic plays. For me personally Liverpool were not the underdogs, in the last three games City have ate 3 or more goals by them, clearly that is not by luck my friend, its something between the teams, specifically City.

We all fancy a Liverpool win as they have been putting a lot of work to get results and we are tired of seeing the same old teams getting the CL trophy back and forth, we need change for once and coming back to England I hope city wont relax either after scooping another EPL trophy because some quality teams have emerged towards the end of the league and the next campaign will certainly not be short of entertainment.

Yes Liverpool have the best supporters. Liverpool supporters often make noise, Liverpool supporters have been very patient waiting for Liverpool to win again, they miss, this season Liverpool should be able to get the Champions League, the only hope this season, and premier league for next season.

Silva is a really good player, wait until you see Naby Keita at Liverpool next season.

BEAST MODE

In the meantime - Bournemouth vs Man Utd - Probably an away win, I can’t see United losing 2 in a row to less favoured opposition.

Man City's failure in the Champions League wasn't because they weren't "ready" for the semi-final, they were outplayed in two games, nothing more. Also, are we sure "they weren't ready?" we're talking about a team (City) that played in that stage back in 2016 against no other than Real Madrid (aggregate score was 1-0 for RM, the citizens actually put up a good fight against the champions that year)...or are you implying that the actual Man City squad is inferior to the one from two years ago? IMO, the team was absolutely ready to win the Champions League this season.

Man City was ready to at least reach the CL final. The team made one of the biggest investments in the transfer window this season just so the team can be ready to compete at high level with other top clubs. They bought every player Guardiola wanted to strengthened the squad to win not only the EPL but also the CL, which I'm sure was one of the main objectives (if not the main priority) for the club this season, I mean, you simply don't bring the "best" manager in the world and spend €500m just to win a league title and some random league cup which name I can't remember. Let's be honest, performance-wise throughout the season, Man City was one of the big favorites to win the CL.

C'mon now, you don't need FIFA to compare players, I mean, most of us can agree that Silva is 10x better than the entire Liverpool midfield combined...
the truth is not always the better team with the better players wins. Just look at what happened with Sevilla and Man United, or Roma against Barcelona...there's always the chance that the underdog wins. Man City failed in two decisive matches, that's it, but that doesn't mean that they aren't better than Liverpool.

No, Pinnacle has better odds but the difference isn't really that much (sometimes) unless you plan on betting thousands of USD worth of BTC.  If so then every pip matters.

Trading p2p is a no no for me even with escrow...  Too much of a hassle.

Liverpool have an incredible supporters. They are always there in every Liverpool match both home and away matches. They always spur the players mentally with songs that improve adrenaline and motivation in Liverpool matches. In a big game, Liverpool is far more favored because it has a remarkable history.

Real Madrid lost & drew with Tottenham in the group stage, Real Madrid were close to possibly being knocked out by Juventus in the 1/4 final. Believe me Liverpool definitely have a chance to win the CL.

Manchester City's last match with liverpool was excellent in terms of liverpool games, playing tirelessly to keep Man City overwhelmed until finally the man city lost. But I think the man city has a reason with that, No matter what the domestic league achievements are not a guarantee it can be easy for a higher league. The mental quality in the middle of the championship league can not only capitalize on the mental qualities of the domestic class. Mental players, coaches, supporters, officials, and sponsors.
Liverpool fans have grown accustomed to super matches. Still remember when Liverpool's victory in turkey during the final UCL match of 2005 cons Milan. 85% of seats are liverpool and proved that they are not only strong to host. The Mafia tickets did not move when liverpooldian was sure to win well before the game started. And at that time Liverpool are destroying the achievements in the domestic league. Even Milan lost dramatically to a more haunted stadium situation than Anfield himself. This is evidence that mental quality is very influential. Never in history has the attitude of supporting a club like this. Clubs are always efficient and have no money. But do not underestimate the mental Great FC Liverpool Family.
