It's hard for me, both of them are currently struggling. One Atletico Madrid wants to add points to stay in the top 4 position, while Cadiz want to win also and get out of the relegation zone. Atletico Madrid won just 1 goal, it's already lucky because this match Cadiz will be consistent at least playing very defensively for a draw.
Well it is true that Atletico have been horrible this season despite winning the LaLiga last season but they still stand 4th and right now would hope to protect that position. I think they have lot of good players who are just not making a mark this season but they would be hoping to at least perform to make a safe top 4 finish by the end of the season securing CL position. These are easy matches and I think they will win here. |

^ Salah has won the club the highest honors in the EPL and the UCL, so I don't think he's too keen in signing an extension unless maybe the offer is too much for him to refuse. Salah has Barca, Real Madrid and now Bayern asking around and sending feelers and they're prolly be willing to give better offers. If it were all up to me, I'd like to see him play under Xavi at Barca and begin a resurgence of the Catalan club. It would be something for sure.
I am not sure but I heard the rumours that Salah wants a good pay and that is what Liverpool are not agreeing upon. (Again, I am not so sure). Yeah I am also for sure there will be many keeping an eye on the situation. As for Salah to Barca, I can see that happen if Dembele is sold. I would also love to see that happen but I also love him in action against PL team so kinda rooting in for if he stays with Liverpool or perhaps in some other PL clubs. |

However, a win in this match confirms Chelsea are in the top 4 of the points table.
There are still 10 rounds to be played and I think any thing can happen. Possible they might drop out of top 4 and it is also possible that they might win but chances of that happening are very very low. They are gonna finish 3rd is what I feel like. They started out great but lost their form in the middle which is where they lost the fight of title race. |

Bayern Munichs moral is now really big after destroying Salzburg at home and i think they might even destroy Hoffenheim if they use full force like against Salzburg. Bayern Munich with this match can o most seal the title. They lost some points against Leverkusen but still have a big difference so i dont think that match mattered much.
Hoffenheim is also in good confidence. they are unbeaten in their last 4 matches. even Hoffenheim produced full points from the last 4 matches without losing and without a draw. Munich is sometimes too confident in matches against teams that are arguably weaker than them. but it makes Munich could have had the same experience when they had to lose against Monchengladbach. Yeah I will agree on this that sometimes they do tend to be overconfident and come out as losers. I think overall they have done enough and are leading the table right now and thats what matters. Hoffenheim are doing great season so this will be an interesting contest between the two but I think Bayern are too hot to handle and most likely to win in this fixture. |

It seems that another round of discussions with Salah regarding his new contract isn't going well.
Klopp tried to downplay it today by saying that there is still time, but he also said that it is ultimately the decision of the club and that they have made their stance known.
If Salah does not extend, I expect he will be sold in the summer. We simply cannot allow that he walks on a free transfer in 2023.
It really feels hard to believe that there are problems regarding contract extension between the club and Salah given how much contribution he has given ever since he arrived. There's still some time for his contract to end and I think both will come down to point and agree eventually. I am sure Salah to other club or other PL club is the last thing they want to happen but guess if they don't agree then they have to let him go eventually but still like I said , lot of time left and there's still possibility of change in mind and accept demands in the end. |

Do not let Liverpool fall in this match or lose because it will make it difficult for the title this season, but it is true that playing at the visitors of Bringthon is very different from the existing statistics and Liverpool will definitely have much better possession of the ball.
Liverpool must be able to concentrate more, they must not underestimate their opponents and don't let Liverpool make mistakes tomorrow but I think my prediction is that Liverpool can win.
I think they know how important is for them to win this match. After some difference in between them and City they now are close to taking them off from title race and I don't think they have any intention of throwing that chance away. They are gonna do fine and gonna play dominating game like they have done in previous couple of matches. Brighton are out of form so doesn't possess much threat so I think with the quality Liverpool, they are gonna do fine. |

Chelsea scored their first goal in the 3rd minute of the first half. And in 14 minutes they got a 2-0 lead. Chelsea have made 4 shots so far and each shot was on target. Now Norwich's only target should be to stop Chelsea's players. Otherwise, they will concede at least 5 goals today.
The Wolves took a 2-0 lead against Watford. This is the home match of the Wolves. And they are going to easily get 3 points in this match.
Well from the look of things it seems Chelsea are playing quite well for a change today. Norwich's defense has always been a worrying area for them and Chelsea seems to be doing very well against that. Seems like Chelsea are gonna take 3 points out of this. In Wolves vs Watford, Wolves are 3-0 up now and out of them 2 goals resulted out of mistake but still Wolves are doing a great work there. I still wouldn't call Hornets out here. |

My prediction was nearly proving right about the Manchester derby. I thought that Manchester City would win by a two-goal difference but they won by three goals. The first half was really delightful to watch as Manchester United also played impressively. They never gave up in the first half and made a big effort. Sancho's goal was really great. But in the second half, things completely changed. Manchester City took full control of the game and Manchester United didn't even have a single shot attempt. Manchester City scored two more goals and destroyed them by 4-1. This half was really boring to me as it was one-sided.
Yeah I also saw some improvements like they were pressing quite well at the beginning but yeah still some holes like allowing them to come onto them. City are good at controlling the game and playing possession game so they didn't see much of the ball and were cut out at mid or thwarted by defense in second half. In second half the level of pressing from United was missing which I would say as a reason for poor second half performance from United. |

Lol. They are headless because they don't have Ronaldo and they're playing Fenandes as the false 9. Interesting choice. Is Cavani on the bench? Rangnick has to play him at the second half now or Rashford if United ends up being behind a goal or a couple of goals. And wups, almost a second a goal by City there. see the lineup available. what happened to cavani, why is he not even on the bench? it's only been 5 minutes but bruyne who took advantage of a good assist from silva managed to score 1 goal now the score is 1-1, sancho was so unexpected, what a great match  Cavani , Ronaldo , Shaw weren't seen with the team so it was already reported by most of the reporters that they won't be featuring in the Derby. Reason is still not known, maybe Rangnick will tell when reporters ask about it. Sweet goal from Sancho now brings back United right in the game. So far good pressing from United for a change. |

Christensen is rejecting English teams after all - out of respect for Chelsea. United was the most interested and it is also possible that the rejection isn't so much about respect for Chelsea, but also a lack of confidence in United reaching the CL next season.
Barcelona looks as the most realistic option now and Chelsea is getting closer and closer to losing 3 out of 4 of their first team centrebacks at the end of the season.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10580437/Andreas-Christensen-close-agreeing-free-transfer-Barcelona-summer.htmlif Bayern get him then the Bayern defender will be even more perfect but it looks like Bayern hasn't been lucky. with the arrival of christensen the barca squad will be very dangerous (Aubameyang is showing his ferocity up front, while Christensen will defend Barca's defense with his skill)Talks been going for sometime now and the final confirmation will be done by next week. Also along with Christensen , Azpilicueta could also sign for Barcelona, so two defenders who won the Champions league last year. I think it is very possible that they will trigger the buy clause to bring in Traore. Barca will be solid back again next season if that happens. |

Watford could reduce the number of goals through Sissoko's goal in the 87th minute, until they finally really lost in this match.
I was scared for Arsenal in the final minutes of the game, for a moment there, i thought the game was going to end in a draw after Sissoko's goal, what a disappointment that would have been for me. Thanks to Odegaard, saka and Martinelli, we are now fourth on the table. A Manchester city win will today ensure will stay fourth, although i can't say for sure that Pep's side will win because of the quality MUFC can bring to play, hopefully they do. Couldn't be more proud of how we are advancing in the table and how well the chemistry is between the team. Morale is top class and form is top class, what else do we need? Maybe a bit more improvement as in frequent goalscorer and we will be all complete. I am sure we are gonna get a forward in next transfer window. Hope we close out this season as top 4. |

Their squad is seen as the youngest squad in the league,and also being managed by a young manager in the person of Mikel Arteta who has proven to do the right thing,and he is definitely taken the club to the top.
A win against Watford today will make them go above Manchester United if Mancity defeat them today.
Arteta has experience working besides Guardiola in City as assistant manager so he knows what it is like to manage a team and plan out tactics. Arsenal under Arteta has achieved has achieved so much and lot of people doubted Arteta and his style of managing but it doesn't just happens with a snap, every manager needs time to rebuild the squad to make it strong. |

News came in that Cavani, Ronaldo and Shaw will not be featuring in the Manchester Derby today as reported here: https://twitter.com/Football_TaIk/status/1500327813726883841 . It seems now more difficult for them without Ronaldo as their front man. I know he hasn't done much in couple of matches but he always keeps opponents defense in pressure buying his teammates room and time to find an opening. |

Liverpool won the match 1-0 and gained 3 points from the match. Liverpool's performance was very good. They attacked and hold the ball in their possession. West Ham did 13 shots. However, they could not score any goal. Because Liverpool's defense is tough.
With the victory in this match, Liverpool is now only 3 points behind Manchester City. Manchester City have been the favorites to win the title for so long. But they are probably going to lose their top spot.
One goal more could have lifted off much of pressure from Liverpool's defense but anyway they handled them right till the end and secured 3 points, thats what matters. Now they stand equal with City on the table and will wait for the outcome of the derby tomorrow. We can't say for sure if City are gonna lose the top spot. Maybe they do and then Liverpool drops points or maybe they do drop point and Liverpool win the season just like you said. Anything could be possible as both teams are playing good football but you can't eliminate the element of surprise and its same for both whether it be Liverpool or City. |

At the rate at which Liverpool keep winning their games, this is putting pressure on the current league leaders Manchester City and any drop in points from here on out means the EPL trophy will have to be played till the end. But to early to think ahead of ourselves, current match against the hammers the Reds are a game up but can they hold this lead... Lets wait for the second half.
Absolutely and that is when most of the teams start making mistakes and drop points. I am rooting in for City to drop some points and come equal to Liverpool and maintain the gap until they meet in April which will make it even thrilling to watch. Right now they are not giving West Ham much of a chance here but Hammers are also trying some shots here on and then with whatever possession they get. |

The most famous acting clown in the world, Conor McGregor, has announced that he is ready to buy Chelsea for 1.5 billion pounds Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor has announced his readiness to buy the English football club Chelsea. He posted a related post on Twitter.
“I am putting forward my offer of £1.5 billion,” he wrote. Earlier it was reported that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich intends to sell the English club for 4 billion pounds. https://pledgetimes.com/mcgregor-ready-to-buy-chelsea/I wonder why he makes such statements? Obviously, he does not have that kind of money or the authority to conduct such transactions on behalf of people who have such money. Or is there something I don't know? Don't know what kind of game he is playing there.. also not sure about if he is serious at all. But I think there are many buyers who will give a best offer for the club and I am sure McGregor to own Chelsea will only be a dream. I am sure Abrahamovich will look for someone who can become a owner like he is and knows its more than just money and all. He owned the club for two decades (I think-not sure) and Chelsea had their ups and downs but he stayed. He wants to sell it to someone who has the same level of passion for the club like he does. And McGregor is nowhere near that. |

1-1 between Roma Atalanta.
This game can be crucial for the Atalanta race to the next Champions League.
If Atalanta ends with the same amount of points of Juventus they will go in Champions League and Juventus in Europa League.
1-1? Isn't Roma leading the game with 1-0? Yeah game is crucial for both, but it is important for Atalanta more than Roma. They still have lot of time to find an equaliser and then find the winning goal but they need to push themselves and make some more good attacking moves. So far a good contest.. |

again bayern shows unsatisfactory results for bettors. Neuer has not been able to play until now, so I can see that the Bayern defense is in a bad condition. If Muller didn't make a mistake, then the chances of Leverkusen being "draw" in this match are very small
In another match I saw that Leipzig was very lucky this time, if the assist made by Szoboszlai is not used properly by Angelino then Freiburg will win
Leverkusen are not an easy opponents and they are third on the table. With most of the players of Bayern injured it is pretty hard to play the usual dominating game. And I wouldn't blame much on Muller, he was just trying to intercept that cross in any way possible and just got in confusion with the goalkeeper and led to that mistake. Tight competition is really shown by Inter Milan, Napoli and also AC Milan. They alternately hold the status of the leader of the standings, their points are almost no gaps. Inter with 58 points, Napoli 57 and AC Milan also have the same points with Napoli. The Serie A matches are just a few days away but their rivalry is getting more and more interesting to watch.
I would have said something about this but it is in wrong thread, this is thread for Bundesliga discussions. Please move your post in Serie A discussion thread |

Aston Villa were absolutely crazy in this game, Gerrard totally changed this team now.
I think Saints are not able to handle it in mid. They are allowing space for Villa to make some kind of move. The pressure while facing an attack is missing for them. Also Coutinho is putting up an exceptional performance once again and just toying with Southampton players. Its a great performance but Southampton should have put a bit more pressure in both attack and defense. No wonder they are losing right now. |

...I assure Mancity and Liverpool can win.
Convince as the right bet.
Nothing can be said for sure..Both teams are in close title race and sure they would want to win here but you can't say about other teams. They are up against United and Hammers and both teams are capable of playing out surprise. Both will be thrilling match that for sure, but it's hard to pick out winner for sure. |
