What do you guys think of Arsenal to win and BTTS combo at 2.85?  I think that's pretty good odds if we play with the numbers the books are giving us.  Leeds over .5 goals is around 1.50 or close to it, Arsenal to win is at 1.55 but Arsenal and BTTS is at 2.85?  I think that's a pretty good number imho.  

Another line I like is Man City straight up at 1.89 for obvious reasons.  Not sure why it's decently high with how good they're running.

Guys don't forget that we start this week early with a Brentford vs Brighton game tonight.I think in this game it is only natural to back Brighton which has only lost two games against strong teams while Brentford has suffered really big by winning only 1 of 7 last games that they played.The odds of the game suggest for a draw but I think backing a Brighton win tonight should be generally a good idea or to be sure why not go for that golden bet in Premier League that happens at least 90% of the time which is both teams to score yes.

Whew, thanks for reminding us.  I was feeling lazy and was planning on making my predictions tomorrow morning.  

Brighton could win but I wouldn't underestimate Brentford at home.  They've had just one loss at home so far and it was vs Arsenal which I think we could give Brentford a pass for it.  Most notable win at home is vs Man United, 4 - 0.  They also won vs Leeds 5 - 2.  They're losses away are vs Newcastle, ok sure and vs Fullham which should be kinda sketchy but it was an away game.

It looks like you are right,Brentford is winning at home in the first half and judging by the way that both teams are playing I think I have lost my prediction and most probably Brighton cannot turn things around but I am pretty confident that they will at least score one goal to make that golden bet in the Premier League happen at both teams to score yes.

I was deceived by the fact that Brentford had only won 1 of their last 7 games and that is why I chose a Brighton win because normally my gut feeling was 1-1 as a prediction for this game.

Yeah except that I gave Brighton too much credit in this spot.  Had it at 2 - 2 in the pool.

Feels like a trap, this has 2-0 arsenal written all over it. What are the odds on Arsenal to win and BTTS "No"?

Didn't watch so can't explain another Leicester City scoreless outing. Precious point or opportunity missed? First item of news I read was fans calling for Brendan to go and I can't see a way out for him now even if they win next game as they would likely still be bottom then.

Did not see Bournemouth scoring 2 either. Need to stop putting money down on these games!

Lol.  I love a good smart ass reply to a rhetorical question.  

I don't know, but I think tokeweed might be on to something.  I like Leeds for a goal most of the time, but funny thing is my prediction in the pool is exactly what Hhampuz suggested.  I'm actually torn between that prediction or 1-3 Arsenal.  I've been predicting 3 goals for the Gunners the last two weeks, and they've rewarded me with exact predictions both times.  Should I break the pattern?

SB has City money line at 1.87 at the moment, but man that's a tough one.  You really wanna bet against LFC at home with their backs against the wall?  I haven't locked in my prediction on the pool, but currently I've got that match as a tie.  I want to see the lineups before I change my mind.

[swogerino]

Well not the best of the week regarding the points in the pool anyone is getting but I can't complain myself I see myself less than 15 points from the first place in the standings while 2 weeks ago I was at 43th place near the bottom far away in points to the leaders,I never dream about getting there but just saw the standings now.Tottenham gave me a hand with an exact score to help recover those 3 places lost during the other games of today.

I didn't see Bournemouth equalizing against Fulham as that is the only game I missed from the games of today but the best games of the week are tomorrow,they can make a difference for the good or the worst.

I know I am taking City to win or both to score in this match. Both should pass quite easy in my opinion but maybe both to score is a bit more secure. Liverpool is horrible in defense and City is scoring whenever they like it. Liverpool isn't bad going forward and I can see them making a lot of trouble for City in some parts of the match.

I know I am watching the game and I am expecting a cracking one with result like 3:2 for City 

[CLS63]

I've ended the day with 2.5 points as it seems. I was expecting Leicester and Fulham both to win but they both got a draw. It was a really unfortunate result for Leicester by the way because they were much better playing side against Crystal Palace. I've seen them this much strong in defense second time in this season but this was one of the rare matches that they couldn't score a goal either.

I expected a more comfortable win for Wolves and predicted 3-0 for that. However they got stuck at 1-0. Tottenham - Everton was the closest match that I was going to predict the exact score as mine was 3-1. Tottenham showed a really good level of performance and finished off their opponent easily. If Everton were able to score maybe my prediction would come true as well.

[darxiaomi]

I always hate Crystal Palace what a shit mid table team.

With always the same team, only change a very few names for season to season , and always the same outcome.

Guaita as goalkeeper, Milivojevich shooting some penalty, and of course, the might AYEW and the forever rising star Zaha , i see this shit for , i dont know... 5 years maybe?.

[hilariousetc]

I've surprised myself this week with two correct scores and the other two correct outcomes to come out joint first of the round so far. Need to start picking up some points cos I've been doing terrible this season.

It looks like you are right,Brentford is winning at home in the first half and judging by the way that both teams are playing I think I have lost my prediction and most probably Brighton cannot turn things around but I am pretty confident that they will at least score one goal to make that golden bet in the Premier League happen at both teams to score yes.

Looks like most of us were wrong. Only 6 people backed the home win.

What do you guys think of Arsenal to win and BTTS combo at 2.85?  I think that's pretty good odds if we play with the numbers the books are giving us.  Leeds over .5 goals is around 1.50 or close to it, Arsenal to win is at 1.55 but Arsenal and BTTS is at 2.85?  I think that's a pretty good number imho.  

I haven't gone for them getting a goal but they could, especially at home. I wouldn't count on it though.

Yeah we see this every year and they keep staying in the league. Such a disgusting team,i o most never pick them but they keep always taking the wins from me. Leicester just cannot win against them and i really wish that both of teams somehow get relegated especially Crystal Palace.

I had put them as a draw in the prediction 1-1 and I got a close result on them exactly for this reason,they are a very readable team meanwhile Leicester is not in good form and they are in the relegation zone so the most natural choice between two such teams was a draw.

Today are the real games of the week though with all the big teams playing their games today,the main event of course to be Liverpool vs City but all other favorites like Arsenal,Chelsea and United should win their games.

[buwaytress]

Arsenal Chelsea United City acca looks very interesting, unfortunately my rose-tinted glasses can't see City taking anything from Anfield, so I've gone against my better judgment for a Newcastle/Liverpool acca at 9/1.

Liverpool odds have been improving as match approaches, which probably reflects money on the line rather than bookie expectations, haha. Done with betting on this game, last money on Liverpool DNB at 27/10, already put in quite a bit of ML money at 44/10.

Win and BTTS with a price boost still looking pretty at almost 6/1?

The United made what many would call a surprise result and I also would call it a surprise result and I think that they played better but not that better than Newcastle and Newcastle had their chances which would have made a big surprise if they scored.

Liverpool vs City are 0-0 up until now but I think it will happen a both teams to score yes here as both Liverpool and Manchester City would attack each other,Liverpool will attack much more as got nothing to lose while City should also win the game after the Arsenal win.

[buwaytress]

Hey, what a game! There really should have been more goals on both ends of the pitch. Best thing to see was Nunez trying to score despite Carvalho and Salah clear on goal -- and then them applauding him when he failed. I know I should say worst thing to see was Klopp getting sent off but I think everyone liked that. Is it bad to enjoy that?

Rescued my season for sure, as had a heck lot on this game =D How'd everyone do?

The draw was actually the likeliest outcome as odds balanced out but yeah, United will feel like they lost. Didn't watch but penalty call turned down and 2 Ronaldo goals chalked off sounds like a frustrating day at the Ten Hag office.

Not really bad to enjoy that.The fact that he got so euphoric after being in a winning position is normal in this highly tension-ed game,in the end he does not care that he was sent off as long as he got the three points.This was really needed from Liverpool because it gave another tone to the Premier League as Arsenal moved further away in the top while Liverpool got some positions up in the standings.

You were bold enough to bet on Liverpool and fully deserve the money won.I refrained from betting as I wanted to go for a both teams to score yes but then I was not sure and just watched the game,very happy for this Liverpool win.

congrats on a win, for a team, and for a ticket

Arsenal is probably most happy with this score, they are topping the table, and have clear difference to Tottenham and City
and Salah scored, which is good for my FPL

this round was interesting for me, four exact scores from five guessed results, overall missed a lot, but exact score is making a difference

[CLS63]

I have a big respect for the people who bet on Liverpool to win today.    Because it was really like Manchester City were a few steps ahead of them before this match. Liverpool were still struggling with serious defense problems and Manchester City were showing an incredible offense performance at the same time. I thought like there was no way Liverpool were going to stop Haaland.

However they really did and won by 1-0. Manchester City had a disallowed goal before Liverpool's goal due to foul as well. If Haaland didn't make a foul then things might have been much more interesting. Salah was really passionate in this match and he was the hero of the match. My prediction was a 3-1 Manchester City win by the way and it failed hard.

Taking points from 7 of the matches this week is freakin' awesome.  Good job, congrats on taking the yellow cap.

The LFC/City match was pretty fun to watch, even if it was much lower of a score than most of us predicted.  I finally caved to the pressures of expectations, and set my prediction as 2-3 City, but I'm not bitter.  My two favorite clubs are Arsenal and who ever is matched against City.

Congrats man, lady luck rewarded your faith big time today.

I was so sure this game will have a lot of goals in it so I lost a lot of money today. Had both to score on some tickets, had City win on some other and City to score at least 2 goals on my high stake ticket. So basically this one game killed all my tickets today  To be fair it wasn't the only loosing game on some tickets but if City won with result like 2:1 I would be much better off.
