Al Ittihad are preparing another offer like 200 million pounds for Salah. While the end of the transfer window for Saudi Arabia teams is closing Al Ittihad want to go all in for this transfer. However it doesn't look like they will be able to convince Liverpool. Because Liverpool don't care about money at the moment.

They just want to keep Salah this season as well at least. Salah also seems okay about staying for another season. But after one season things can change and we might see him in Saudi Arabia probably as well. He would choose money too after a point.

The final result of the Arsenal - Manchester United game was 3-1 maybe but this game could have finished even the other way around. Because the Red Devils were so close to getting ahead once again in the last minutes. If that goal by Garnacho wasn't disallowed by VAR because of offside maybe they could have even beaten Arsenal in Emirates.

There were so many minutes to be played in the stoppage time and that was enough for Arsenal to score 2 more goals to secure the win. Rice and Gabriel Jesus did a great job in this time period. Manchester United still maintain their inconsistent form.

Leipzig are shown as the favourite team to win against Union Berlin by bookmakers. However I don't think that it is that simple. Because Union Berlin have had really good games against Leipzig in the recent years. Especially in home games they have been able to beat Leipzig many times recently.

In addition to all that Union Berlin started the season better than them as well. All of this information makes me think of betting on Union Berlin's double chance. I don't think Leipzig can beat them in an away game while Union Berlin are in a good condition. Both teams to score could be a good choice as well.

Inter are hosting Fiorentina today. We had a really surprising result in the Napoli - Lazio game yesterday. But I assume there won't be a similar result today as well. Inter should be able to maintain their performance against Fiorentina too. They are the only team that haven't conceded any goal yet.

But at the same time Fiorentina's scoring performance was really great in the first two games. It feels like both teams will score in this game so my first betting option is that. I was indecisive between that and betting on Inter. But I decided to bet on both teams to score considering that most of their recent head-to-head games ended like that.

Arsenal -Man United.

With the current conditions, maybe Arsenal are more confident. They will play at the Emirates stadium. In addition, Man United's main players are bad news for Ten Hag. They will work hard to be able to bring home points, maybe 1 point is good enough for Man United. But there is another interesting thing, it looks like Rasmus Hojlund is ready to play later. It looks like Rasmus Hojlund compares a lot to Haaland. My prediction is Arsenal can win 2-1 later.

Manchester United should consider themselves lucky if they get one point from Arsenal. Because their recent performance isn't convincing at all. They can't get comfortable results against even smaller teams. Arsenal seem more solid than them now. Besides they can do even better in a home game against the Red Devils.

However I don't also expect a big goal gap. Arsenal would probably win the game by one goal. My score expectations are 2-1 and 3-2. It depends on Manchester United's scoring skills in this game. If this game was in Old Trafford my opinion would be much more different than this though.

Monaco are continuing on their impressive form. This time they beat Lens by 3-0 home. For now they really seem like they have the potential to fight for the league title this season. Especially if PSG seem inconsistent for a long time this can really be an opportunity for us to see even a different champion but it is still early.

Lens are completely the opposite of the previous season now. They still couldn't get a win after 4 games left behind. They lost especially two important players in midfield and attacking line. But I wasn't expecting them to start this bad anyway. I wonder whether they can prepare nicely for the Champions League.

Lazio did it again, unbelievable! Shocked

I thought that Napoli wouldn't let them this time but they couldn't even get one points against them in this home game once again. Lazio even had two goals disallowed due to offside. The final score might have been heavier than this if at least one of those goals was a clean one.

I don't know what is wrong with Napoli when they are facing Lazio like this. Osimhen couldn't make any big contribution. Maybe Napoli wouldn't have lost at least if Osimhen was more active. However I don't want to put the blame only on him of course.

Real Madrid are still the only team without a point loss so far. However it wasn't an easy game for them today. Getafe scored first and they were nearly stealing one point from them. Bellingham was again there to save the day by scoring in the last minutes. He is such an important player at the moment.

His responsibilities are even higher in Vinicius' absence. They are dealing with the situation decently in the league still. However I'm not sure how the Champions League would be. Vinicius might miss at least one game there so we will see how they can deal with it.

Tottenham are still incredible. This time they got a huge win over Burnley like 5-2 away. Their manager decided to make a change in the attacking line. This time Richarlison wasn't in the starting eleven. Instead we saw Son playing there. However this change resulted in amazingly for the team.

He made a hat-trick you know. He was clearly the man of the match and I think Tottenham will continue with this player choice from now on. Richarlison hasn't been good so far. Therefore he will need to earn his place back in the starting lineup by improving.

People who bet on first half Gladbach and second half Bayern Munich must have made a lot of money. I think this was worth given a chance by placing a small bet. I'm regretful for not trying it with a little money. Because the recent games between them have been quite interesting. Bayern Munich weren't having good games against them recently.

After Gladbach scored first I wondered whether Bayern Munich wouldn't manage to get a win again. But they managed to make the comeback in the second half. This time it was a game in which Kane was silent. Sane and Tel were under the spotlight instead. Tel can be a really great striker in the future.

Osasuna are one of the teams making a good start. However they didn't seem strong in their home game against Athletic Bilbao and lost by 2-0. Maybe Barcelona can also benefit from this situation and they can also win away against them. Especially after the Villarreal game we saw a serious improvement in attacking strength of Barcelona.

They just have problems on defending. Maybe their scoring skills still saved them against Villarreal but it wouldn't help all the time of course. Osasuna are a productive team now so Barcelona need to be more careful in defense. If they have a good balance they should be able to beat Osasuna by a decent score.

Now they can even beat Newcastle away with 10 players by making a comeback. This can be seen as a great progress as a result. This week I think they will beat Aston Villa in Anfield as well. I hope to see them being competitive for the title this time.

That sucks, i have picked newcastle on that day but nunez was destroying my bet. I did not even expect nunez will make two goals in a row at the end of match. I have blamed eddie howe caused by his stupid decision to take gordon and tonalli out from the game.
I hate that guy. Aston villa is far easy than newcastle in term of stats but the result from real match may be different. Liverpool needs to put nunez as the main started against aston villa.

Salah will support him with his amazing pass.

Aston Villa are actually only one point behind Liverpool now and there have been some really interesting games played between them in the recent years. However while Liverpool are giving me the impression of being better than the previous season I hope to see them not leaving any points in this game.

Liverpool are going to keep Salah in the team for this season too as it seems. Because they don't want to sell him to Al Ittihad no matter they improve their offer. This is positive news for Liverpool as they are keeping their best player. This might still be Salah's last season here maybe so I hope to see him making a huge effort before leaving.

Roma are currently not much different than Lazio about starting badly to the season now. Mourinho is in his last year of his contract now and if they fail in doing better this season they can part ways with him probably. It is still the first weeks of the season of course. There so many more games to come.

But the earlier they improve their performance the better. The board and fans must be waiting for a Champions League ticket by finishing in top 4 this time. Finishing below this isn't going to be any improvement for Roma clearly. This squad is capable to be in top 4 fight normally.

I won't be hopeful about Dortmund to make it to the title this season. They aren't a team that can stay in the title race until the end regularly. The previous season was a rare example of that and they couldn't even make use of that opportunity. I think they have missed their chance to become champions in the near future big time as a result.

Bayern Munich seem far better now. Kane's starting to adapt much earlier than the expectations is making things easier for Bayern Munich. I don't think they will be inconsistent like in the previous season. I will be expecting a more comfortable title from them this time.

Villarreal are getting even worse in form now. This time we have witnessed them losing by 3-1 to Cadiz. Maybe you will say that it was due to the red card but Villarreal's performance was already not very convincing until then. Cadiz were really dominant in the first part of the game. Villarreal had only superiority in ball possession but it doesn't help all the time.

Only 1 win in 4 games is really worrying for Villarreal however they can change this situation. They just need to work harder. Villarreal aren't one of the weak teams in the league. They are just out-of-form now which can be fixed in time.

Roma lost again with a score of 1-2 against Milan and this is a very bad result for Jose Mourinho's squad because they can't give a win in front of their fans. Milan did very well even with 10 men in the second half and they didn't panic at all when they were in quite a bit of pressure. Milan's advantage from the early minutes made them sure to win this match, but unfortunately Roma only managed to score 1 goal in the final minutes which meant nothing.

I was not surprised with the match result because I knew Milan was going to beat Roma because they have a squad that can compete for the title this season. Going through the statistics of the last five matches Roma and Milan played before this one, Milan won three and drew two against Roma, which is why I am confident that Milan will win the match.

AC Milan has won all their first three league matches of the season; they have nine points and will remain at the top of the league until Napoli and other league teams play their matches, but Milan’s performance is outstanding because they also stand a chance to compete for the league title this season.

I was also not surprised by this score. Milan were already the better side before the game started. They are more different this season which can be easily understood from their start to the season. Roma were already a team that they were able to beat away before. While Roma were in trouble Milan needed to make use of their vulnerabilities.

This was what Milan did here today. The first half was completely under Milan's control. Roma's xG was like near zero. Especially after getting that red card Milan started to play more cautiously but even this wasn't any help for Roma to get some points.

While I was wondering whether Chelsea would sign back Felix Barcelona intervened and finished the deal. However it is a loan deal and there is no buy option as well. Because there was really no way Barcelona were signing him permanently now. Even if they have money you know their situation according to La Liga FFP rules.

But at least there could have been an optional buy clause for Felix. Barcelona's situation won't stay like this forever in the end. If he impresses Barcelona officials then they could have signed for a more sensible price. Now if this happens I think Atletico Madrid would increase his potential fee.

Things are going on really well for Liverpool so far. It seems like there is really an improvement in team performance this season. Klopp was expected to improve a lot after not being able to qualify for the Champions League by finishing outside top four. This isn't only Klopp's failure of course. The team were like unwilling for a long time during the season.

Now they can even beat Newcastle away with 10 players by making a comeback. This can be seen as a great progress as a result. This week I think they will beat Aston Villa in Anfield as well. I hope to see them being competitive for the title this time.

Napoli are still a strong team despite changing their manager. They are still a very dominant team in their games in the league. But we haven't seen them play in a big game yet. We will see it tomorrow against Lazio. As far as I remember they lost to Lazio home in the previous season. This game can be quite interesting because of that.

But no matter what I'm expecting them to fight for the league title until the end. Considering their group in the Champions League they should be easily advancing to next round there as well. Maybe they can even finish the group as the leader.

After Haller Dortmund have another experienced striker like Füllkrug. He was the top scorer of the Bundesliga in the previous season with 16 goals. He drew some good attention of bigger teams by this performance. His name was rumoured with Bayern Munich as well in the past but now he is a Dortmund player for 13 million euros transfer fee.

The thing Dortmund are lacking in is finishing now. They need to be able to score more than one goal in a game considering their results in the first two games. Maybe Füllkrug can also make a good level of contribution to help this side of the team improve.
