but without Jesus I think the power of the attack is less. Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka it's good, but Jesus is a great striker to back up the win with his attacking power. I'd be surprised if Arsenal lose, it's because West Ham haven't been really strong so far.
They dominated as usual in these 20 minutes and even had a very good chance a while ago but I still can't convert it into a goal. I think in this match even if there is no Gabriel Arsenal will definitely win and I am quite sure of that if you see the condition of their game now and the dominance they are currently carrying out. I know arsenal not having Gabriel Jesus their will be little problems in the attack but it won't stop arsenal from winning the match. To me arsenal played as usual like the way they normally perform. It is too good to see Arsenal maintaining their position in Premier league. |

So with his impressive form, I see it is impossible for Manchester City to let go of this talented player. Instead of selling Erling Haaland, currently Pep Guardiola is still looking for players to strengthen the depth of their squad.
Erling Haaland even surpassed many Premier League clubs with his goals. Even if we write pages about him, it is not enough to describe him. He's someone who fully meets the definition of extraordinary.  Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are unlikely to sell him. But there is something more interesting about this. I think it may not be possible to determine the value of Erling Haaland. After a few seasons, other teams looking to compete with Manchester City will have to bring Mbappe to the Premier League. Manchester City are very calculative to bring Haaland by this time and already know he will be very productive to the club. If Manchester does not get who will march up the quality of Haaland they won't let Haaland go. I rate Haaland to be the best player in Premier league. He is Messi of thus time. |

Previously, what problem did Lewandowski have that caused him to be suspended for 3 matches? I haven't heard any news about him today. The away match against Atletico Madrid will certainly be a crucial match considering that Barcelona must win this match if Real Madrid does not want to shift its position at the top of the standings.
Lewandowski has been suspended for 3 matches for insulting or disrespecting the referee. This he got when Barcelona visited Osasuna headquarters in their 14th week. The Spanish football federation considered the actions taken by the Polish national player to be excessive and disrespectful to the referee who led the match, so this suspension was given to him. Lewandowski himself denied that his actions were directed at the referee, but still the appeal that was made did not result in the decision to sanction him being revoked. It is a shame they will have to be without their most important player at this crucial moment when he is needed the most. Real Madrid will be hoping to see Barcelona struggling without Lewandowski and possibly lose points. I just hope Xavi has a good plan to manage the situation to get positive results from the game and get back on top of the league but I think Barcelona will find a way to get the best from this three games without Lewandowski. Barcelona will make plans to scale through this period Lewandowski won't be playing. I think the ban of Lewandowski is a ban that will last for three matches of Barcelona that will take place in laliga. Real Madrid sees the suspension as an advantage to be in the first position. |

Seeing how Napoli is playing, there is a huge chance for Napoli to win against Inter, but Napoli didn't have enough good results against Inter. Out of their last 8 meetings, Napoli were only able to win 1x and because this match will be held at Inter's home, Inter remains the favorite to win for the bookie. bet @2.22 on Inter and @3.15 on Napoli, betting on Napoli and they win would be very profitable but I predict it will be a draw
A bold prediction, especially considering the fact that you attach importance to "historical" patterns, but do not pay attention to the fact that Inter have zero draws this season  In general, such quotes from bookmakers annoy me - Napoli have zero defeats, Inter have 5, but Inter is the favorite.It looks unfair, but from a betting point of view, this is a good opportunity to bet on Napoli or Napoli double chance. Looking from history Inter have been winning Napoli, no doubt about it. But presently based on the performance of Napoli, I see Napoli doing better than other teams in the league. It's not certain that Inter will defeat Napoli this time . |

Manchester United is performing poorly against strong clubs this year. I don't think they can win against Barcelona. This will probably be one of the most interesting matches. If Barcelona can beat Manchester United, we can probably say that they can win the Europa League. Especially since Barcelona is now playing better than Real Madrid in La Liga.
This game is unpredictable, I feel anything can happen. Despite Manchester united are not in a good shape, they are still trying to get improve. Manchester United with their current quality of performance they are capable in challenging Barcelona. This is a game anything of the team can luckily win. |

Being in the champions league spot this season will be something very hard to attain this season in England,we now have a big six,probably a big seven or eight and no longer a big six,because so many teams have joined the elite teams.England is so tough and competitive,most teams dive in the transfer window to sign players in England,and that gives them an ample opportunity to challenge the elite teams in England.
Now we have Mancity,Liverpool,Arsenal,Chelsea,Manchester United, Tottenham,and now Newcastle.The later have surprised me this season,losing just one and drawing either four which makes them sit third on the league table. Qualifying for the champions league spot this season will be a hard nut to crack,and I'm sure with the way Newcastle are playing,I am optimistic they will qualify.
Newcastle have played very well this season but i have still doubt on them qualifying for the champions league. Despite the position that they sit currently now in the premier league table, i just feel that before the season is going to end i just feel like their are going to miss out on the champion league spot. The premier is about to kick off the second half of the season today and Newcastle will be facing an inform Leicester side which will poss a big threat today for Newcastle to win. I think Newcastle and Leicester game is going to be a draw game today. Newcastle are doing well this season but I'm not sure if the can win the Champions League or even the Premier league because their other strong teams that are more solid I'm performance than newcastle. Their is no doubt about Newcastle improvement, it may not be easy to get the Champions league. |

So far, Brentford have been able to score a goal for Spurs... If Spurs don't change the game, they will lose this match,
Tottenham has had the habit of struggling in games but still ending up.to win it this season, the one goal Brentford has scored against them does not settle it for Brentford. Even if Brentford scores again to double their lead, it does not settle this game against Tottenham. Harry kane has a record of scoring on boxing day games, so we are strongly expecting a goal from him. Also with the return of Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham's chances of winning are also high. Tottenham really struggled in this game all through the first half, their performance was poor . But kane broke record by scoring the first goal, after the first goal was scored by kane their games started becoming impressive. It is a nice play from Tottenham for equalizing the game because it would be a lose for them. |

How about if them buying Emi Martínez? I think he had shown a really good performance in the World Cup. And I think they can think about it seriously.
But I have to say one thing Emi Martinez is an average goalkeeper in a normal match. But he is absolutely great when it comes to saving penalties. You know, Emi Martinez is also 30 years old. Not too old in my opinion. I think that could have been a great choice for them. What do you think?
Emiliano martinez has a good skill as a goal keeper but he has a very bad attitude. I thinkthat bayern must think again before try to buy him. He has destroyed his own career. He was not too old but i think that his scandal has been even destroying the name of his club aston villa. He was not a great choice to be bought for now. I think that. good club like bayern. World cup was not everything like the fact that you shall aware if aston villa has good performance in EPL I agree with you, with the attitude he has been taking lately many people have lost respect for him. You are right that he has ruined his own career by behaving like that. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how well he plays, but when he doesn't have the attitude that a professional footballer should show, it lowers his selling point. There are many options other than Emiliano Martinez, so I am more inclined to support them buying players other than the current Martinez. That's too bad for Martinez. Becoming a good player is not enough but what also matters is to have a good attitude . The attitude issue might make Martinez to miss better offers. But I think he will learn now and to conduct his self better. |

Yes, he was the one who requested for the trade, that's written in the article if we will read the details. James Harden is definitely not the main man in 76ers as they have Embiid, so maybe he miss his popularity in Houston because he is the sole superstar. I'm sure Harden learned a lot from the teams he got traded (Nets, 76ers), so he will be able to use that experience to have a big comeback with houston.
Right now, Houston is in rebuilding mode, they are building young superstars like Jallen Green and Porter Jr. so Harden will be stealing the spotlight from them.
Same thing I'm thinking, he was very popular when he was Houston. He really moss the popularity, it is good to having mixed with the young stars that are in the team now.. |

I don’t think Manchester United would really feel the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo, I may not be his fan but honestly let’s face the truth, he isn’t at his best anymore and club coaches are looking to build a more long term goals than country team but Cristiano Ronaldo was still benched at Portugal.
I think he is in denial phase and all this are seemingly so strange to him, he has been on top level for far too long and he has lost the reality of being brought down to earth.
True Manchester doesn't appear to be the person who will miss Cr7. When I heard that Ronaldo was leaving Manchester United, I was relieved because the news of him training on the Madrid pitch shows he still has a lot to offer. I feel that Manchester United is behind in bringing down Ronaldo's performance, which did affect not only Ronaldo but also the performance of Man U. They performed poorly this season due to poor teamwork. I was even surprised that Ronaldo was benched in most of their important matches. Ronaldo's performance was better during the time of Rangnick, Manchester United relied on him and he help Manchester United to scored goals. Ronaldo's performance became poor when he start having problems with ten Hag, he was not given opportunity to play steady again. |

I read from a sport platform that James harden is planning to return to Houston, this sounds great . When James harden was in Houston he was my favourite player because he plays so good. If coming back to Houston is real it is a good news, Houston made James, it is good to have him back.

It looks like Enzo Fernandez's price of up to 200 million euros will not happen, considering that there are two players whose market value has skyrocketed lately Mbappe with 180 million euros and Haaland 170 million euros. Of course, the two clubs don't want a player whose transfer value exceeds their flagship player. One of them will set a new transfer record. Paris SG has made the most expensive transfers in history with Neymar and Mbappe. In 2018 Neymar with 222€ Million Euros and in 2019 Mbappe with 180€ Million Euros. And if Haaland has won a few titles in England, then it is possible that he will change the league. His father said that Erling wants to win titles in every league. So far he has a few nice trophies at home, but the big titles are there yet. I am quite sure that Erling Haaland will be the one to make a new transfer record. He is obviously not going to be loyal to one club. So he has the potential of making a record-breaking transfer. And I think there is another player who has the potential of doing that. That is Mbappé. These two are probably going to be their next Messi and Ronaldo. I know we have been predicting these types of things for a long time, but Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo actually end up outlasting them. But in this case, I think it’s going to be different and these two players will actually be there next, the best two in the world. Haaland can never be loyal to one club , this is something he said before now. He is a great player and future legend to take after Ronaldo and messi. Haaland has one more season to be in manchester city, he is not going to last in clubs for too long. Mbappe is another legend, naturally good no doubt about it. |

I am in love with this initiative already this way more suspense, more surprises and more matches will bring about more fun to the 2026 world cup. Qatar was so entertaining and suspense filled and since it is co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and USA it will spice up the competition including the increased number of participating nations.
Qatar was very interesting, things I never expected in the competition took place, and it is mind blowing. Mexico, Canada and USA will be interesting too and more competitive because more teams are becoming stronger. We saw that from the world cup competition in Qatar. |

Juventus team has managed to make a comeback in the last rounds and they won six straight games without conceiding a goal in the serie A an impressive feat if it werent for the bad beginnig of season they could be only few points away from napoli i think their main objective at the moment is to get into the second position, their next game is against cremonese a team struggling at the bottom of the table i expect juve to win the game and they need to because the upcoming ones are tough.
Juventus are back with a better performance after poor performance for some for several weeks now. Juventus have chance of moving to the second position. Looking from their performance in previous game they are good to win the next match they will be playing Cremonese. |

Manchester United vs Fc Barcelona match has been discussed much more than every other Europa league match. Maybe that is because the two clubs are anticipated by many, to be the champions of the Europa league title. But let me put it to u that neither Manchester United nor FC Barcelona may end up pushing through the final stage of this competition. Let us not forget that the likes of Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax, union Berlin and PSV are salso hunting vigorously for this same title. Most of these clubs with little or no up of being champions in their lower league.The table is not revolving around Man united and Barcelona only.
This season the Europa League is difficult to predict because there are many great teams in it. Some of the teams you mentioned are teams that are not weak in their respective local leagues, so there are many possibilities that could happen in the Europa League this season even though the ones that are most often discussed are Manchester United and Fc Barcelona. But they both could have been knocked out by some of the teams you name in the Europa League this season. Yes, it is not something that is impossible, in fact many teams have lost against teams that are not more favored than them in the Europa League this season. Let's say Barcelona lost to Frabkfurt last season. Even though they were recently no better than this season, it provides an opportunity that a team that is considered weak can shock the match by beating the team that is more favored. The performance of the big teams in the Europa League is erratic. They basically take Europa League matches lightly, which is why they don't perform well. Also the performance of the Barcelona team in the last season was very erratic. The condition of the whole party was unstable. But this season they have been able to solve most of the problems within the team. They have been performing quite consistently this season. I am quite optimistic about Barcelona's performance in the Europa League this season. Barcelona performance is only better in laliga I think this is because they really want to win laliga. Barcelona lose the Champions league because they didn't put much effort to win . I'm still feeling they might likely the Europa league just the way they took the Europa league. |

Actually, this news was not very convincing to me... Cristiano Ronaldo definitely wants to play in the champions league and in a team that aims for the league title. We know that's why he left Manchester United. I think he will not be transferred to the Arab Leagues, but if the offers he wants from Europe do not come to him, he may have to go there. In fact, that's why the World Cup was so important to him. If Portugal had won the World Cup under his leadership, we would not see any of these debates now. Ronaldo is a great football player and I think he is still the best in the world but he has failed in his career planning. I have also noticed that everywhere he was saying he has enough money. So he wants to go to a team with which he will be able to fulfill his expectations. And we also know that he has enough money. It is the legacy that he is after right now. But I don’t know how can he get what he wants unless he can get a team that will get him back in the competitive top-level scene again. And I think he is expecting to wait for six months and probably he’s also expecting that after that. Probably some teams will be interested in him. But I don’t know if that is going to be the case. If he doesn’t play for such a long period of time, it is only going to reduce his value. No reliable sport has said anything about Ronaldo and his Saudi Arabia deal. I think news that are flying all over are not true , it is just a rumour. It is not just about the money, Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia will reduce is value. Someone like Ronaldo is supposed to play and retire in a club that will add more value to his career. |

Tomorrow, Liverpool has to play a match with Aston Villa, I see that a lot of players Liverpool will miss out this game, to the injured that missed the match with City: Firmino, Jota and Diaz Louis, Milner will also join, it's significant losses. Liverpool passes goals in almost every match, this match should not be an exception, but Liverpool are good in attack so both teams will score.
after a few days ago liverpool was defeated by man city, in this match I doubt whether liverpool will be able to win easily from aston villa even though in their last 5 meetings, liverpool only lost 1 time to aston villa. besides that Liverpool also has many injured players, and that increases Aston Villa's chances of winning, moh salah and nunez not too compact. This season I don't have much confidence in liverpool because they are just unpredictable . Liverpool has lose quality in their performance, it normally give them tough time to win game unlike Liverpool of last Season. |

Barcelona's lack of options in terms of quality makes them rely so much on a player same way they relied solely on Messi when he was at Barcelona. It was like the team would not survive without Messi for any game he was absent and it caused a lot of difficulties. It wouldn't be nice to start up in that manner with Xavi and I think it will be a disaster for the team if they do not sign young players to help cover for Lewandowski absence.
You are right , Barcelona rely on players so much that it caused much harm to the club when Messi left. I think Barcelona always do this because they don't have good numbers of big players just like PSG and Manchester City. If anything happens to make Lewandowski performance drops it will affect Barcelona in a way. |

This price is outrageous for only one player; they must be desperate for him to pay such a high price for him. Will Mbappe cave and leave like that? The benefits he stands to gain at PSG are substantial enough to keep him there, and the club would be reluctant to let him go after his outstanding performance at the World Cup. I know Real Madrid has the money, but I believe they should stop pursuing him in this manner if he does not want to join them and find another player to replace Benzema as soon as possible. This money is to big for Reall Madrid to offer just a player. Even if they wants Mbappe this is not the amount of money they will be paying him. I don't think it Mbappe is ready to leave PSG, because is not yet ready to sell him out. |

Actually, when talking about the right to get a trophy this season in the Bundesliga, all teams have the same rights as long as they are still within the scope of the Bundesliga. But because all the teams in the Bundesliga do not have the same level of strength as Bayern Munich, it is clear that this season it is still very possible for Bayern Munich to win another trophy. This is due to the level of consistency and the best players are not in all teams so that Bayern Munich is still the favorite in getting the trophy this season.
I think with the current conditions, I actually still feel that even if what you say is true, everyone has the same rights, but the opportunities are clearly different. It's like giving hope in vain because of course in the end the cup will return to Bayern's usual place no matter what even if it says equal opportunity but actually it's very different and it's just a competition but without competition. Bayern is a rich team that remains consistent with the good performances they display, besides that they are not afraid to buy the expensive players they want because their goal is victory, different from other Bundesliga teams who are hesitant to buy players and only focus on their old squad. bayern will always be the bundesliga champion and other teams will only enliven the bundesliga competition. Bayern Munich are not worried to buy players costly, no matter how high the money is they make sure they afford it to get that best player. That is why the team is always consistent. Bayern as different way in managing the team that is why other are different from Bayern. |
