Arsenal vs Portugal match is over and Arsenal get the win.

Wait, what? Why Portugal?

This most interesting match is definitely Chelsea vs Liverpool. So far there has not been a line up of the two teams, but this is truly a difficult match to predict. I'm still happy if Liverpool get the victory.

Imagine Liverpool losing this one as well
This weekend's Manchester derby is an entertaining one to watch & bet...
^{- I'm going with 2-2 draw.}

Not PL but involving some PL teams we have the following FA Cup games tonight -

Chelsea vs Liverpool
Reading vs Sheff Utd
West Brom vs Newcastle

3 matches are the same tonight and it seems like Chelsea and Liverpool will be watched a lot of course both of them have a lot of fans and surely both teams will win each other's matches to advance to the next round.
I believe Liverpool will win this match even though yesterday's defeat to Watford will not be a problem at the FA and this trophy they will also pursue until the champion.

I am really sad that Liverpool lost against Watford but I am also happy.I am sad because they lost their title of invincibility but I am happy because this suggests that they are fully focused on the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid that is why they didn’t play full power against Watford.

I don't agree with you.
They played with full power against Watford and didn't rest any main player.
It's fact that in the last a few weeks Liverpool didn't play well and it was obvious that soon or later they will loose somwhere.
Now they should quickly recover because very soon they will play against Atletico and it's their the most important match in the year.

I see They are starting to feel like a club that cannot be beaten in the English Premier League. This has caused their performance to decline slightly in the last few matches. Maybe you understand what I mean, when we feel too strong, we will definitely underestimate the opponent.

Fa Cup isn't very important <...>

Maybe it wasn't when they main objective was the unbeaten run, but now that the dream it's over, they might want to target the Treble. Seriously though, Pool needs to avoid getting thrashed again, they gotta take advantage of an out-of-form Chelsea and crush them, start getting the morale up before the CL game next week.

Anyways, I have my eyes on a single bet today: Liverpool to WIN. But i'm gonna wait to see their lineup before kick-off, if I see a lot of youngsters in the starting XI, i'll skip this game.

I know Liverpool are strong enough to lose but the same low team with the relegation zone were able to be defeated by a strong team from the EPL. I don't know whether this is a cheating or not because they play full with the main players.
There is nothing strong while on the field there must be surprises and the lower team is capable of overthrowing Liverpool while the other big EPL teams are not capable.

Where Lampard got it all wrong was his inability to sign an experience striker that can score lots of goals to work with Abraham. Giroud is an experience player but lack goals. Batshuayi is inexperience just like Abraham therefore he can't be relied on.

I am happy that they atleast have Ziyech coming in summer but right now they have to settle things what they have before them this season and there is lot of it. Batshuayi is a good player TBH but last match I don't know what was up with him and had missed so many good chances.

Lampard have a lot of things to fix in Chelsea starting with the attacking line.

Ziyech is absolutely a perfect addition to Chelsea.
The team needs to sign a new striker in order to be a top club again... We need the new Drogba... Abraham is a good player but he needs more experience to reach top level. Batshuayi cannot provide anything more to the team unfortunately.

I'm not agree with your statement, as LFC fans, they only lost focus for a while, maybe they underestimated Watford because club that they are face is in relegation zone, but I'm sure they aren't think cannot beaten in every match.
In FA they meet strong club, LFC will proven that's they are still on track.

They had CL on their head aswell. They already have the PL in hand (high chances of having it) and with 1:0 down in first leg in CL maybe they wanna make sure they go all out in 2nd. They also rested their key players- Gomez and Robertson. I kinda think Klopp kinda went out easy on Watford and that went unexpected but anyway they just lost the chance to make a mark in the EPL history.

Still Liverpool fans won't forget how close they were on making the mark and the win streak they had this season.

I wouldn't blame this loss to Watford based on loss of focus, it's almost impossible to play 38 games and not lose at least one out of them all, Liverpool didn't lose till this past weekend against Watford and that's an incredible feat for them, the loss was bound to come and it definitely was going to raise questions and complaints, but imo there should not be any, they already have the Epl as theirs.

For the Liverpool fans, I just hope this loss doesn't open the door for more defeats, most times losing after so long a time of not doing so can have a negative effect on the team, if they fail to win their next Epl game, they could end up losing close to three games before the end of the season, well it will change nothing.

[Captain Corporate]

 Lmao! The sad truth is, as liverpool could get eleminated from the champions league at any moment even at this stage, they could get eleminated from FA cup and they could potentially lose a ton of games as well (don't know exact number) and they will still be champions and seen as a successful team in the future when looking back on it. Now you may think that since they will lose so many games back to back you will see a lot of people saying they are bad but in reality those are haters and this team has ALREADY achieved what it takes to be a great team by winning the champions league and following the next season with being undefeated until watford, so whatever happens next they will still be seen as one of the greatest EPL teams in history to me.

[justdimin]

Yeah Chelsea is not really that good of a team but we have no idea what type of line up will Klopp use neither. Now the first team of Liverpool would simply destroy Chelsea because they just came out of a huge disappointing and humiliating loss to Watford and lost their unbeaten status as well so they would probably want to get that forgotten and play as well as they can and beat Chelsea with as high of a margin as they can.

However, if klopp decides to play the young kids and all once again that would probably result with Chelsea winning because Chelsea might be worse than Liverpool starters but they are definitely better than Liverpool youth level of players for sure.

Chelsea vs Liverpool starts in 15 mins, I think after seeing the starting XI’s Chelsea start as favourites. Klopp has picked a mixture of experience & youth.

[tomahawk9]

2-0 Chelsea. I wanted to put Liverpool in my parlay for today, but the lineup didn't convince me, plus I decided to stick to what i said a few days ago lol ended up going with Newcastle ML and they're winning 3-0 versus WBA  

Well? Can someone explain wth is going on with Liverpool?

Klopp has picked a mixture of experience & youth.

As expected. I'm sure that if the unbeaten run was still possible, Klopp would've used the youngsters from the academy.

Chelsea is starting with almost their first eleven,  from the look of things,  Liverpool will be loosing their second game in a row,  I don't think this squad can defeat the Chelsea squad ,ever since the defeat from Atletico Madrid,  there seems to be a loophole being discovered in the team , they were lucky against West Ham,  otherwise that would have been the 4 games loss in a row

tough time for Liverpool, after losing match in Premier league from Watford, Chelsea knock them out from FA cup, 2:0, and now they need to recoup themselves for Atletico Madrid re-match, or there will be just Premier league trophy at the end, and they were chasing four at the beginning of the season

Have you forgotten that Frank Lampard joined in when the transfer ban was already in effect for your favorite team? I wouldn't Judge his inability to sign good players until the transfer ban has ended.

For me, i think Its not really Lampards fault, and Indeed Abraham in inexperienced, and Giroud cannot score week in, week out.
But you see Batshuayi, i do not think he is good enough for chelsea, or the EPL.

Batshuayi has gone on over 3 loan deals, to Swansea, to Dortmund, to Valencia, and sadly averaged less than 10 goals in all.

Chelsea should move on giroud and batshuayi, if they want to challenge for honours come 2020/2021 season.

Fa Cup tomorrow: Chelsea vs Liverpool.

What do you guys think? Is Klopp gonna use the kids from the U21 in a fa cup game again? The unbeaten record is gone so there's no need to rest the entire 1st team squad, or at least that's what I think...Btw, i'm looking at the odds right now and: Home team to win @2.31, away team @2.75?? Liverpool just lost their first game in the league so surely they'd be looking to bounce back from that, while Chelsea are on a downtrend lately in terms of performance...so why such odds?

Since Klopp said Chelsea gonna win then it will gonna win 
Fa Cup isn't very important and an injury for one of the main players like Mani or Salah...will be dramatic especially when you have a serious game next week VS ATM in champions league which they have to win it

Although Klopp has said so, but the players with the collar will win, well, I know there are a number of major players who will not be shown because of the preparations for the Champions League last week, so they will not focus on this match for Klopp.
But my prediction liverpool will still win this FA Cup Cup with Chelsea and in the EPL League also Chelsea will face Everton so it is really hard according to him.

As i told you boys, Liverpool isn't focusing in the FA Cup but losing 2-0 VS Chelsea is harsh imo

Fa Cup isn't very important <...>

Maybe it wasn't when they main objective was the unbeaten run, but now that the dream it's over, they might want to target the Treble.

Better for Liverpool to focus on Champions League and to grab the win from Simeone's team with as much goal as possible!

[Strongkored]

After more than half the season the discussion about LFC is unbeaten now with two defeats with a sizable score the discussion turns to Liverpool's defeat.
I Believe that Klopp knows the best strategy he is running (though I'm sure he doesn't expect bad results) but playing all the core players in all match can make things worse so focusing on what they can achieve is the best strategy.
