Chelsea - Leicester GG & Tottenham - Everton GG

Chelsea finished the year strong beating Stoke City with 5-0 but at the start of 2018 they still didn't taste a victory in all competitions. Premier League they drew against Arsenal for 2-2 and again against them in the Carabao Cup they had a goaless draw at home Between these two also they met Norwich in FA Cup and made another goaless draw so for the past few games they struggled in offense as thy only had just 1 goal from open play and the other was from a penalty while their new signing Barkley is still not ready to start in so most likely not to be able to debut against Leicester City tomorrow So it will be a diffecult game for Chelsea but the good thing is that Both Simpson and Morgan are out for Leicester that is why it should be easier for them yo pick up the three points.

I'm really looking forward to the game between Liverpool vs Manchester City and I hope the team that is led by Klopp can stop Manchester City unbeaten record in this season, let alone Liverpool have a player who is on fire that is Salah and I am sure Egyptian pianist is capable of destroying the defense Manchester City and made a lot of goals. Hopefully, they can win this game and make the beginning of the fall of Manchester City this season although it is not easy.

I can actually see Liverpool beating Man City on the weekend even without Coutinho, especially now they have Salah back apparently. I think I'll wait for the full line ups to be announced but I might have a cheeky bet on Liverpool if the odds are good. I could possibly see a very high scoring game something like 2-2 or 2-3 but either way it is sure to be a match to watch.

Well to win the Premier League, you will have to be very consistent, no wonder Manchester City are currently on top. And they are yet to lose even a single game in the process. But going unbeaten in the EPL will be impossible for them.

Last season liverpool played poorly in the second round, that's what caused their points lagging far behind for a calendar year. This season Liverpool play pretty good, only inconsistencies that are still too frequent, inadvertently behind the back to make them often lose points. In contrast to Manchester City whose game they improved in the second round last season and getting bolted this season. Pep learned quickly the Premier League game.

Found another nice value bet featuring none other than Burnley. 

But I can't decide if I wanna get in on the +.5 at 1.88 or the +0 at 2.93.  Them being away means I should be going for the +.5.  But I'm a gambling man, so I'm going for Burnley (away) to win vs Crystal Palace, +0 at 2.93.

Not sure what, but there's just something about Burnley...

Great 2017 for Chelsea e Manchester City.
Before Chelsea and then Manchester City, have made the record of consecutive vittories in Premier League.
Good average for Tottenham (over 2 points)
Surprise of 2017 was the Burnley

So true. All the Liverpool fans were not disappointed at Coutinho departure but they were disappointed at the way Coutinho did to leave Liverpool. I hope Coutinho does not forget the services of Liverpool so far to him who has raised his name so Coutinho really becomes a famous player of very high quality. Hopefully, Klopp can get a suitable player to be able to replace his role when in the field.

Liverpool are not really going to miss Coutinho at all, but they were pissed by the manner that he left, With Suarez they were forced to sell due to the Chiellini biting saga but with this, Countinho forced the move after with his unwillingness to play anymore.

I think it was the best decision for Liverpool to sell Coutinho his mind is not with the reds anymore and we saw that this last 6 months he didn't perform as good as he used to be so Liverpool cannot stop in him and making huge profits from him will help the team in different directions currently Salah stole the show from him this season and I believe that Liverpool have strong enough Offensive players to compete on top 4 Firmino doing good. Mane had a dip but he should picked up quickly when he gets to be regular all the time now Liverpool maybe needs to sell Sturridge and try to get better replacement for him other then that everything should work fine for now.

Which team is not tempted by the huge profits from selling one of its players. But, Coutinho departure from Liverpool will not make a headache for Klopp because in his squad there are still many good players who can replace his role so it is also profitable for the players who are more often on the bench and the departure of Coutinho make the opportunity to play it open wide for them.

They knew that they were going to be able to afford it since they were ready to sell Coutinho for that ridiculous amount. Even though didn't like the prospect of selling one of his best players am sure the higher bosses definitely pressured to let sleeping dogs lie especially since they have Mohammed Salah performing superbly now,

Coutinho is top class player, he would be missing in any club in the world. Liverpool did well though to bring van dijk although transfer fee is ridiculous, but that shouldn't matter too much as long as they can afford it

buy talented defender could be good to solved defence problem from Liverpool but i think Van Dijk have to adapt with Liverpool team and Klopp strategy so it took more time to him however Salah could be good solution after Coutinho leave but i didn't see any update whether he will played or not this weekend and Klopp was so worried with his condition and if Liverpool this weekend playing without Salah then i have to say they're still difficult to win

I don't agree with you that Liverpool is starting with the feeling being inferior against Manchester city . They did play without coutinho in the beginning of this season and they were just amazing . I think Liverpool problem was only in defence not in middle court and I think the last recruit from Southampton van Dick will be a good solution for defence problem . Maybe now Salah condition after the injury will be the question . In an other side the position of Manchester city being comfortably in the top of the league with a large margin of the following teams will be a motive to the team to be less aggressive on the match . Still a can not predict who's going to win and I don't advise you to bet on this game but I still see an advantage for Liverpool . And if I will give prediction for bet it will be that both team will score

There were reports that Barcelona were looking into buying the defender, I am sure that it made Liverpool panic since there was no way that Van Dijk or any other will hesitate when Barcelona came knocking no wonder they splashed such a huge amount for him. He is good but not good enough for that tag.

i have recently seeing upcoming match schedule for EPL this week and i found interesting match Liverpool against Manchester City and i would admit Liverpool decreasing their strength because Coutinho leave so this is first match without Coutinho and could be difficult match and probably Manchester City is more superior rather than them

^ And Mane and Firmino and their midfield is decent enough to give Man City some pressure.  Of all the fixtures to watch,  I enjoy these two clubs the best.  This should be another box to box battle, and very high paced and intense.

Well Liverpool still have Salah though, he's doing really good in this season but without Philipe countinho is a big disadvatange for Liverpool. What i'm sure is this game will have many goals for sure. Liverpool with bad defensive and also both teams play openly and offensive.
