Liverpool has won the UEFA European League and the last time was in 2001. This shows that they have a good history with the UEFA European League. But even so, they have to be ready and focused because the teams from the Champions League are certainly strong teams that should not be underestimated. So far I see AC Milan as the most likely to beat Liverpool. But we also see that other teams are also quite strong, such as Leverkusen, West Ham or Brighton.
The last time they won it was in 2021, it was already a very long time. The good history also doesn't guarantee they can win the Europa League title this season. Sure, Liverpool mustn't underestimate any team, including the teams eliminated from UCL (AC Milan, Benfica, Galatasaray, Lens, Braga, Feyenoord, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Young boys). AC Milan is surely the strongest team among the teams eliminated from UCL. However, it is true that Liverpool also don't forget that they have a strong team like Leverkusen in Europa League now. I even think that Leverkusen is stronger than AC Milan because they seem never defeated by any team.

With the above qualified clubs is very certain that the Europa League champion is Liverpool because with the performance of Liverpool on this season I don't think there is much of a threat against them but however the only team that can challenge them a bit is Bayern Leverkusen because just like Liverpool Bayern Leverkusen has also maintain a very good performance since from the beginning of the season
I also think the same, only Liverpool and Leverkusen that seem to win the Europa League title this season. Both teams have great squad, they also have good coach. That's why they can maintain good performance during this season. However, I really expect these teams to play in the final round. And I predict that Leverkusen will win the trophy.
By joining several big teams in the European league, the competition will be even more interesting this season. Previously we only had Liverpool and Leverkusen as the strongest teams this season but the joining of a team from the Champions League will put them under a bit of pressure. AC Milan can provide interesting things for the European league this season because they have players who are good enough to beat their opponents.

We will see the actions of top players like Giroud and Leao in bringing Ac Milan to go far in the European league this season. But before that we will see the draw in the playoff round and I hope that strong teams can meet strong teams because it will provide an interesting spectacle for us in the playoff round.

From what we can see Manchester United is not in a difficult group in the Champions League but they failed to do well so it is quite appropriate that their strength is still not strong at European level because they are still unable to compete with Copenhagen and Galatasaray. I think this failure should be a valuable lesson for them to improve again in the winter transfer window because after being eliminated from the Champions League, Manchester United must focus their energy only on the Premier League.

So Erik Ten Hag can use the January transfer window to improve their weaknesses by recruiting new players. Yes, after the failure in the Champions League, Erik position is increasingly insecure and he must be able to restore the full trust of Manchester United officials by winning every match in the Premier League and being able to return to the top 4 ranking.
The inability to progress from group stage is a proof that Manchester United need to evaluate totally. This setback is a big reason for introspection and strategic planning. But I dont think utilizing the winter transfer window to strengthen the squad could be the best solution. Erik Ten Hag, facing an increasingly insecure position, must indeed demonstrate his managerial acumen and ability to react to a big failure. He can't keep using transfer window to solve the problme as they have already spent too much, but they still have no improvement.

It's time to focus energy on rebulding while concentrating on Premier League. The domestic league provides a platform for Manchester United to regain momentum and assess everything needed. Erik Ten Hag, for the last chance, need to show his ability to navigate the challenges, instill confidence in the squad, and gain positive results in the Premier League that will play a pivotal cause in restoring the trust of Manchester United officials and fans. Erik Ten Hag's leadership and decisions in this period will be crucial for the team's resurgence.
Erik Ten Hag needs to revive his players enthusiasm because failure in the Champions League could have a bad impact on their mentality. Erik must be able to maximize the strength of the existing squad to support their performance in the second half of the season and a slight change in strategy will succeed in bringing them back to their winning track. In the previous match we saw how Manchester United played quite badly when they faced Bournemouth where they were not able to adapt their game as well as possible when they had the opportunity.

I agree with what you say because this failure was Erik mistake in setting strategy and he had difficulty scapegoating his players. There are many upcoming matches that they can make the most of to change their performance in the Premier League so a big evaluation must be immediately thought about after their elimination from the Champions League. Tomorrow's match will be quite difficult for them because Liverpool is a team that is quite strong lately and it is very likely that Manchester United will need time to come back to winning ways.

Since Ange Postecoglou took charge at Tottenham, they are having positive change massively. Their Tactical play and team's spirit are not like Tottenham before. This is the biggest factor of their resurrection this season. But this is indeed not enough for them to win the league. Their biggest issue is the quality of squad depth which has been proven poor previously that they collected just 1 win in 5 games after losing their key players due to suspensions and injuries.

I think Aston Villa is quite similar to Tottenham, but they just haven't had badluck of losing key players. It's true that a team's performance over the entire season is a more accurate reflection of their capabilities than a short-term streak. Aston Villa's cleaner record adds to their credibility, and consistency is indeed a key factor to stay competitive at the top. A team like Liverpool who are able to maintain positive results while not playing at their best is a kind of toughest team to compete with. Even in contested matches, demonstrates their resilience and experience at the top level. It's exciting to see whether Tottenham can regain momentum, if Aston Villa can maintain their form, and how Liverpool continues to navigate their journey.
That's a good review of the situation in Tottenham and Aston Villa. I fully agree that if both teams have their first and best eleven players available for the whole season, I think a lot could be possible for them. But especially in the second half of the season, the depth and quality of the squad becomes relevant. It's very hard to maintain a high performance for a whole season when the squad isn't as deep as that of Manchester City for example. Tottenham had instant problems and Aston Villa, hard to tell, but maybe they get lucky and will be spared from injuries. It would be quite interesting to see what this team could do in the Premier League if they stay in top condition and don't lose any players along the way.
It looks like it would be a strong boost for them if Aston Villa players are not injured and can perform well like they have done so far. Yes, Aston Villa can return the surprise that Leicester City did if they are supported by avoiding player injuries so that 11 players can take part in playing in every match this season. Maintaining performance in the best situation will be their obstacle because in the second half of the season big teams like Manchester City will definitely try to return to leading the standings.

We have seen Tottenham fall from first place to 5th place and they need time to recover and if this happens to Aston Villa of course they could suffer the same fate as Tottenham. But that's just speculation because so far they have been able to maintain their performance well because they have managed to get through several big matches such as against Manchester City and Arsenal.

It was a good result but the difference with Al-Hilal was still very large. I had doubts about Al-Ahli because with the large squad of European players they have, sometimes they fail to win and the landslide result against Al-Feiha is proof that this team is starting to find its game again. Even though this still wasn't enough, at least they didn't experience a prolonged draw.

I think it is still quite far to put Al-Ahli in title competition with Al-Hilal and at least being able to finish in the top 4 is their best achievement this season. The only team that is able to compete with Al-Hilal is Al-Nassr and even though the difference in points is quite large, at least they are still the closest competitors compared to other teams. Talking about the Al-Hilal vs Al-Wehda match, it is certain that Al-Hilal will win and with a squad of European players now everything will be easier.
The difference in points between Al Ahli and Al Hilal is 13 points because Al Hilal also won today's match. Of course, Al Ahli needs lots of wins in the upcoming matches if they want to reduce their lag behind Al Hilal. By the way, Al Hilal was able to maintain the winning trend because they managed to get 3 points in the 17th match of this season. I see this match as one-sided or a half-field game because Al Hilal did not provide space for Al Wahda to threaten their goal. Al Hilal has never lost and that is a pretty good performance that they can maintain until the league has run 17 matches.

Al Nassr, who is in 2nd place, is also 10 points behind Al Hilal, who leads the standings. So this gap in points will certainly make Al Hilal sit comfortably at the top of the standings. I think this season Al Hilal can lock up the title early because they are so consistent in winning every match. Mitrovic also played a part in scoring goals in today's match and he is one of the players who is quite productive in scoring goals this season, he is only behind Ronaldo.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 14, 2023, 11:50:03 PM
Al Feiha 0-4 Al Ahli, Al Ahli got a big score and make sure they winning on matchday 17.
Now with these three points Al Ahli get 34 points in the standings, and they can still be closer to Al Nassr. But to get a ticket the LCA group stage, seems like Al Nassr also can still got three points on their next match, so Al Ahli possibility of getting that ticket won't be easy either.
But also there are still many matches waiting to be played, and Al Ahli still have a chance to catch them, so Al Nassr must always be ready to stay away from their competitors.
Al Ahli achieved quite a neat victory because they were able to humiliate Al Feiha with a big score in front of their supporters. I think if we look at the statistics it is not surprising that Al Ahli were able to win this match with a big score because they were able to dominate the game and even made a lot of shots compared to the hosts. Mahrez also scored a goal through the penalty point which made Al Ahli to seal victory in this match. The additional 3 points made Al Ahli reduce the points behind the team above them.

In tomorrow's match, Al Hilal will face Al Wahda in a home match which makes it possible for Al Hilal to win this match easily. In their last 5 matches, Al Hilal recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and one defeat when they faced Al Wahda. In tomorrow's match I'm sure Al Hilal will be able to feast on goals because Al Hilal this season often wins matches with more than 2 goals. And I'm sure Mitrovic will chase additional goals in order to catch up with Ronaldo as the temporary top scorer.

I remember this kind of a season from somewhere.  Huh  There was a season in the past in which Manchester City were even much worse than this situation in the Premier League. However they still captured the league title at the end by coming from really far behind.  Grin  Would this be another season in which they do the same?

I say why not? Because at the end of the day they still have the best squad in the league and the best manager who is Guardiola at the same time.

They are already doing great in the Champions League statistically and I believe that they will make things better soon here also.
Well you're right, about last season, Arsenal where dominating the league from the beginning of the season to midpoint and even became everyone's favorite to win the league at some point, but they bottle the league and gave Manchester City and opportunity to lift the trophy again, therefore i won't be suprised if same thing reoccur this season, cause if you look at the standings you'll see that City are not left out in the title race,  there's still hope for them to win it, since the gap between them and the current  league leaders is not very wide.

 City might find it very tough defending the Champions League title but winning the EPL is not going to be very tough for them and i concour with your statement that they got the best players and manager currently, making them very strong potential winners of the EPL and sonner or later, maybe after the January window, we'll see them dominating the EPL table.
Let's see whether Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool can take advantage of Manchester City unstable situation to win the title this season or whether Manchester City will rise and take the top of the standings in the upcoming matches. Of course, Manchester City has a squad that is quite high quality in terms of their players and also has a coach whose quality is beyond doubt in bringing the team to win trophies. The big question is whether Arsenal can learn from last season failure or they still don't have the mentality to become champions this season.

This season is different from the previous season because this season Aston Villa made a lot of progress in their squad and even managed to beat Manchester City. I think we will see a new team that will try to thwart Arsenal mission to win the title. But for now I still believe that Manchester City will be able to defend their title this season because they still give other teams the opportunity to step over them before the time comes for them to become leaders of the standings again.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 14, 2023, 11:21:00 PM
Manchester city will be able to make a comeback and return to leading the standings this season and they will be successful at the end of the season. I think Manchester city strength is still quite strong in the Premier League, but recently they have lost their consistency, They have lost 1 defeat and 3 draw. First place and fourth place are only 4 point apart and that is one match that can change them in the standing table.
Hopefully what you say is true. because so far, their performance has decreased quite a bit. And if you look at several matches, sometimes the players play quite ridiculously. This is ridiculous and disappointing when you see the current condition of Man City. while on the other hand, its competitors are trying very hard and optimally to maintain and improve their consistency in every match. Liverpool and Arsenal are Man City's toughest opponents in the EPL at the moment and their performance is getting better every day. So, if Man City's condition continues like this, then this will end badly. Pep experienced several problems with his main players. So, in the transfer market at the beginning of next year, Pep should find more potential players so that he can at least strengthen the team again and help it recover again. because if it continues like this, conditions may be difficult to change.
When a team fails in several matches, of course it is nothing but a decline in their performance in that match and that is what Manchester City players must improve in the upcoming matches. Their success in beating Luton and also the victory over Red Star will give Manchester City players confidence again to appear more consistent in order to bring them back to being leaders of the standings. I'm not too worried about Manchester City because last season they were also far behind Arsenal, but at the end of the competition they were able to make changes by overtaking Arsenal and locking up the title.

This season, it is possible that they will do something similar in the second half of the season because Kevin is believed to be joining the Manchester City squad in the second half of the season, of course that is good news for fans. In fact, the points difference is not too far from each other so that the next few match will make them become leaders of the standing again. Manchester City squad is still the strongest in the Premier League and their recent setback has of course surprised us all, but that can be corrected quickly after Manchester City managed to beat Luton in the previous match.

This summer their president said it wants 400 mil for Osimhen.

I doubt he will leave for less than 150.
Really it's a fantastic figure that the club wants, but recently Osimhen has agreed to a new contract that will soon be completed at the beginning of 2024 in addition to Victor Osimhen will experience a fairly high salary increase, even the media said he had the highest salary in the history of the Napoli club.

This means Chelsea will not have the opportunity to buy Osimhen if he extends his contract until 2026, the clause value is €130M according to sky sport but it could be even higher.
https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1735025642649903502

It seems that Napoli are locking Osimhen up to prevent him from leaving for another club.
It is clear that Napoli have reached an agreement on a new contract with Osimhen which makes the assumptions of many people who think that Osimhen will go to another team not seem to be true because Osimhen will sign a new contract with Napoli. I think this will frustrate Chelsea again because they are so interested in recruiting Osimhen but Osimhen prefers to stay with Napoli by extending his contract. I think this deal will certainly make Osimhen focus 100% on Napoli and there will be no more buzz with speculation about his future.

So Chelsea will therefore try to turn to another striker in this season's transfer window and it seems likely that Vlahovic will be their diversion if they don't plan to disrupt Osimhen. Chelsea need a new striker and I am sure they will be able to recruit quality players this season, even several names have started to be linked with them recently. Let's just wait and see if Pochettino will be given fresh funds to buy more players in the January transfer window.

Napoli cannot afford to lose point in this game,there are some games they will play and it will be obvious whether they will lose the game or not, its not this type of game,Napoli will win with great margin.They are beginning to show that they are a big team,and that is the reason they never wanted to sign some of their star players like Osimhen,the Nigerian wonderkid who is sought after by many European teams.He might decide to stay if Napoli show him love instead of hate, with the way Napoli's fans were going,it just look like the player have already set his mind on leaving the team,and he might either end up in England where he will have to compete with Haaland for the golden boot.
Well, if you look at Napoli this season, of course they are easier to beat by their opponents when napoli play at home, so the upcoming match will be difficult for Napoli to end their bad streak. Yes, in terms of strength, Napoli is quite strong compared to Cagliari, but in the last 5 matches in Serie A, Napoli lost a lot of points and was easily beaten by their opponents. So for Walter Mazzarri, of course this match will be a crucial match for them because if they lose again it will be difficult for napoli to get back into the top 4.

Cagliari previously won the match against Sassuolo and this victory was an asset for them when they came to Napoli home ground. We'll see whether Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia will be able to bring Napoli to victory in this match or fail to return to winning ways. In another match, Bologna will face Roma and this match will determine their fate as to who will be able to maintain their ranking this week. If Roma fails, it is possible that Napoli and Bologna will move their ranking and if they win, Roma will be able to widen the distance from the pressure of Napoli and Bologna who are below their ranking.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 13, 2023, 11:43:58 PM
It should be not easy to fix the problem in Napoli. He also needs time to bring some changes for Napoli performance. Mazzarri is a new coach, he needs to adapt with the nature of Napoli players. He must know each player to improve their mentality and solve the problems. It is not an easy thing for the new coach. So, we must understand if Napoli still failed to win in few matches, specifically in the big matches. It is not about the coach's ability, but it is about the limited time to rebuild Napoli.

In UCL, Napoli has qualified for the next round. I think Mazzarri was quite successful to destroy Braga in the final match of group stage. But Mazzarri must prepare many things because there should be harder matches in the next round. They also can't fail to win the match again because they will be eliminated if they fail to win.
Mazzarri performance will be better seen in the second half of the season because he can bring in several players to support Napoli performance in the second half of the season. Currently the situation at Napoli is quite messy after the coaching change where several players are not in their best form and it takes time for Mazzarri to be able to revive his player performance. I think the fans have to give Mazzarri time because if fans expects Napoli to win the Scudetto this season, Mazzarri certainly won't be able to do it because since the start of the season, Napoli has seen difficulties in every match.

Maybe their target is to remain gradually in the top 4 places until the end of the competition. But Napoli is still stronger than AC Milan in the Champions League because Napoli managed to qualify for the round of 16 while AC Milan did not qualify. For this reason, Mazzarri can focus on every match Champions League as well as possible because if they succeed in doing that of course they will also be able to do it in Serie A.

yesterday I thought Barcelona would be able to stop Girona's progress from continuing to be at the top of the La Liga standings, but in fact they had difficulty facing Girona at Girona's home ground, this time the pressure for Xavi is very big. Barcelona's next opponent is Valencia, while Girona will face Alaves, there is a big possibility that Girona will win that match, Girona really has the upper hand.
Barcelona lost their last two match, Even in today match Barcelona lost to a team that is not too strong in the Champions league. Barcelona bad streak must be immediately overcome by Xavi in ​​Laliga because their ranking will be increasingly threatened if they cannot return to their winning ways. Now, speaking of Girona, Of course no one thought they could beat Barcelona with a big score because barcelona is a big team in La Liga with many good quality player such as Lewandowksi and Gundogan. What happened to barcelona this season was none other than the decline in performance of their player such as Lewandowksi and De Jong, Which could also be caused by the storm of injuries that befell their players this season.

Barcelona is currently ranked 4th and the team below them is Bilbao, which is performing increasingly well for break into the top 4 ranking. So, if Barcelona fails in the match against Valencia, They will automatically be even more stressed and the situation can change quite quickly due to criticism from fans for them. I think defending the title this season will be more difficult for Barcelona if you look at their performance so far.

The teams from Laliga performed quite impressively in the Champions League where 4 representatives from Laliga were able to end the last match in the group phase as group winners such as Real Madrid who led Group C, Atletico Madrid who led Group E, Real Sociedad who led D and Barcelona who led Group H. It seems that if you look at the strength of these 4 teams, I think they will succeed in bringing the UCL title home to Laliga because they have the most representatives who have qualified for the round of 16. And maybe only Sevilla failed to advance because they weren't very strong this season.

Apart from that, of the Serie A representatives, only AC Milan failed to advance to the round of 16 because they lost in goal productivity to PSG. Of the Premier League representatives, only Arsenal and Manchester City qualified, while Manchester United and Newcastle United failed to advance to the next round. From the Bundesliga, only Union Berlin failed to advance. I think this is quite an interesting season for the defending champions, namely Manchester City, because they have opponents who are tough enough to stop them from winning the title.
I think that's just your assumption because if you look at last season Serie A had 3 representatives who qualified for the last 8 but in the end they failed to win the title because Manchester City managed to beat Inter milan in the final match. So, it is not impossible that this will also happen to the Laliga teams that qualify for the next round because we will see how strongly they compete in the knockout round. However, they have greater opportunities compared to teams from other league. I will not measure the number of delegations from each league that qualify for the round of 16 because team from other league are quite strong this season, such as Bayern munich.

It's quite a shame that AC milan didn't qualify for the round of 16 because they are a team full of experience but they failed big in the Champions league this season. AC milan fans were both disappointed and happy because they were disappointed to be eliminated early and a little happy because they could join the European league. As said by other users, Ac milan will also easily lose in the European league because AC milan has been underestimated this season because of their instability in either Serie A or the Champions league.

Manchester united has failed to go to the knockout stage and im sure that newcastle will be going another EPL team that is failed to go to the knockout stage as well. I don't wanna say a lot but look at the current line up of newcastles. It has no good squad at this time.
The performance from newcastle is also very inconsistent in the UCL. This is the first time of newcastle played in UCL after almost two decades. Missing an opportunity is a common thing caused by the players may be feeling awkward with the situation in the UCL.
UCL is the fight from the best of the best. newcast is just coming back here, and that's it.

MU has been confirmed out from UCL while newcastle is still having the last chance but im very pessimistic if newcastle will not make it. It's caused by that newcastle has not yer performed so well.
It keeps struggle in all of competitions.
The next match between Newcastle United vs AC Milan will be a match for the 3rd place between these two teams, because these two teams have a small chance of qualifying for the round of 16. Newcastle United is in a negative trend in the Premier League and I'm sure they will be quite under pressure in the match against AC Milan. Even though these two teams appeared inefficient in the Champions League this season, AC Milan will probably be the winners in the next match. Well, if AC Milan wins, I'm not sure they can qualify for the round of 16 because I see PSG will be able to subvert their hopes.

We hope that a surprise will occur in this match because if PSG loses then Newcastle United and AC Milan have great hopes of changing their fate. Apart from that, Newcastle United's first season in the Champions League did not go quite smoothly because they did not prepare their forces well in last season's transfer window. Maybe this will be an experience for them to be able to improve their strength in the January transfer window. Howe has done well in building Newcastle United but struggled greatly when they were drawn in most difficult group.

According to some news and articles, Ronaldo scored more goals after he reached 30 years old than his younger age, however, his performance as a young player was awesome but having this good performance shows Ronaldo is losing hope even if he is old and even if he is playing in a league like Saudi League where Ronaldo is far from the top European teams, I think with this performance we see from him, he can even play for a much longer time.
Ronaldo's strength is still quite strong even though he is 38 years old, but he is strong enough to run and score goals in even the most difficult situations. I believe he can score lots of goals because previously he played in the highest competitions in the world such as the Premier League, Serie A and also Laliga. So it's not surprising that Ronaldo has the ambition to score lots of goals in the Saudi Arabian league. In fact, I also see that other players support him quite well in every match. Ronaldo made Manchester United regret terminating his contract because Ronaldo is one of the players who is able to raise the enthusiasm of other players.

Al Nassr have three more games before ending the year so there is a big possibility that Ronaldo will score a few more goals before the turn of the year. I don't think anything can stop Ronaldo from scoring goals because Ronaldo is like being reborn as a true goalscorer. I think he can reach 55 goals this year because they still have 3 matches to play in December.

I don't agree as it was already said Joao Felix was overly expensive and Barcelona signed him because Felix was willing to let go a lot of his former salary. But what does he do for Barcelona? He is a striker and he is barely scoring any goals. This must be disappointing for both the club and the player, but for the player it is now the third time that he can't justify the expensive prices clubs paid for him. He failed at Atletico Madrid, at Chelsea and now at Barcelona. I think he has been overrated for a long time now.
Barcelona have had a crisis in their goal machine this season because they rely on Lewandowksi for every goal and when he is not at his best it is difficult for other players to score. The same thing has been shown by Felix where he has been very trusted by Xavi this season as a player who can make a lot of changes in their front line but in fact he has not shown a big enough contribution. Because in the 13 matches that Felix has played he  only managed to contribute 2 goals and 2 assists. So, I don't think Xavi will decide quickly whether they will make Felix's status as a Barcelona player permanent or will send him back to Atletico Madrid when the loan period is over.

Barcelona has not yet 100% recovered from the financial crisis they are experiencing, of course they will use every budget as best as possible to build the squad. So there is a big possibility that if Felix fails to shine Barcelona will send him back to Atletico Madrid and in the second case Atletico Madrid will suffer big losses because Felix's selling value will drop drastically due to poor performance. Apart from that, we'll see whether Felix can maximize the quality he has because Xavi still really trusts him to be the starter in every match.

Reece James the effective and important player of Cheslea posted bout his situation in his team. In the game between Everton and Chelsea in which Chelsea lost the game with a 2-0 result, Reece James got injured hard and he left the field. It seems the James's problem is a hamstring injury and he can't play for his team for a long time there is the possibility for James to have surgery and if he does that he should reset for a longer time.
Most likely he will need time to recover from his injury and I read in an article that James will be out for a long time. The injury suffered by James will certainly make pochettino have to think about using Levi Colwill in the upcoming match. James has been injured twice recently, of course he regrets the situation He has experienced and I hope he can be patient with what happened to him. Chelsea, who were expected to be strong again this season, Actually found it difficult to do that because in the previous match when they beat tottenham, I thought they had succeeded in finding their best game, but my assumption was wrong because they lost again.

This season will be the same as the previous season if we look at Chelsea performance because they seem to be comfortably in the middle of the standings. The fans may have to be patient to see chelsea come back strong and compete at the top of the standings. We don't know what chelsea should do anymore because they have replaced coach and bought lots of player but still can't appear stronger in every match.

Yeah Liverpool has greatly improve a lot lately unlike there performance early this season when they were finding it a bit difficult to perform but however it was quite fortunate for them to have realized themselves on  the areas they were having challenges with, and also I never imagine they will be able to lead on the premier league table again after Arsenal and Manchester City was on the first and second position on the table but Liverpool manages to push themselves all the way from the third position to the first position they are now on the premier league table.

Actually there performance this season is very impressive  and I'm very sure that Liverpool is going to go home with one of the trophy this season because there efforts and performance really deserve it, so if they miss the opportunity of wining the premier League I believe that Europa League will not miss them.
Liverpool have appeared impressive recently in the Premier League because they managed to lead the standings this week. I think no one doubts their strength this season, even in Europe they are highly favored as candidates to win the title. Even Sevilla failed to join the European League this season because they closed the last match in the Champions League in 4th place and failed to join the European League. So by failing to join Sevilla, other teams will have a greater chance of making history this season. Liverpool, Roma and Leverkusen are quite strong teams this season in the European league.

We will be looking forward to several teams joining the European league so that it will provide more interesting competition in the upcoming matches. Well, Liverpool will face Union Saint in their last match in the group phase. I think Liverpool is strong enough and they can win this match easily. I think there could be a rain of goals in this match because we know Salah et al have been in their best form recently. Maybe my strong prediction is 0-3 Liverpool to win.

Less than 24 hours before the game between Newcastle and AC Milan and Pioli started talking about this game, he said how important is this match for AC Milan to win the game against Newcastle in the Champions League tomorrow. He said this match is a like final game for them
Currently, AC Milan and Newcastle both got five points in the group F.
Both teams are equally strong and I hope AC Milan can perform better and secure victory in this match. The match in Group F is very crucial for the 3 teams below Dortmund because if AC milan wins and PSG wins then PSG will qualify and that's why this match depends on the results of other matches. Yes, Dortmund doesn't care whether they lost or not in their last match because they have already secured a ticket to the next round. What Pioli was thinking was of course that they had to play more aggressively from the first minute because if they were slow in moving then Newcastle United could again destroy their hopes.

In another match between Dortmund vs Psg it will be quite difficult to predict because in the first leg PSG can easily beat Dortmund so it will be quite difficult for Dortmund to be able to provide a surprise in this match. A draw is enough for PSG to qualify for the next round and AC Milan and Newcastle United will probably fight for third place to join the European League. Btw Pioli could be fired if he fails because the issue of Pioli dismissal has been very widely reported recently.

Steven Gerrard who was in charge frustrated the club and the players, the management the right by showing him the exit. They struggled that season. Having experienced how tough the Premier League Competition have been during his time with Arsenal failing here with Villa would be difficult so far as he is doing the right thing. The struggles with Arsenal defenders and attackers continued that day. Same way they couldn't get good defending against Luton Town. Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli didn't do so well. Bukalo Saka included all flopped.

The points between the first four clubs are not so much, it's competitive and interesting. It shows that the Premier League Competition is still open for four clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City all together.
The change that occurred at Aston Villa is of course Unai Emery expertise in managing his players to perform better in every match they play. Their progress has been unstoppable so far because they were able to beat two big teams, namely Manchester city and Arsenal. They managed two difficult matches well by achieving a victory that allowed them to compete at the top of the standings. We see their game getting better in every match because they are increasingly confident to get up and do their best with their targets this season.

I think their big target is to lead the standings this season because Aston villa are slowly being able to overtake the teams above them. The next two matches will be easy for them if compared to the previous matches. But I hope they don't get complacent too early because this season still has a long way to go and many surprises could happen in the coming week.

I don't know if there will be a winner in this match or not, because they're not in a good place with each other either and I'd prefer it to end in a draw. But maybe Empoli have the advantage in this match, because they will act as the host. However, with their current form I doubt they will be able to take advantage of their status as hosts to win.
Lecce achieved unsatisfactory results in the last 5 matches that could not win once and only got 3 draws, so it is likely that they will also receive a draw in this match.
In their last 5 matches, Empoli was able to win 2 matches against Lecce so in today's match of course there is a big possibility that Empoli will be able to secure victory if they can perform better. However, if you look at their position in the standing table this season, of course Lecce is performing better than Empoli, so it could be that everything could change in today match. Empoli may have the advantage of being the host in today match but they still have to play carefully because Lecce can pose a threat to them.

Empoli must be able to win today match in order to stay away from the relegation zone. In my opinion, the strengths of these two teams are relatively balanced and it is possible that the final result will most likely end in a draw. Lecce in their last 3 matches ended in a draw, will they be able to end this match with a win considering that the team they are facing is a team that is ranked low on the standings.
