[JollyGood]

These are the games taking place this weekend:

Friday 6th February
Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest

Saturday 7th February
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal vs Sunderland
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
Burnley vs West Ham United
Fulham vs Everton
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Newcastle United vs Brentford

Sunday 8th February
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool vs Manchester City

Aston Villa lost at home to Brentford, they would not want to drop more points therefore I expect them to beat Bournemouth. What are your views on the Liverpool vs Manchester City game?

Bounermouth - Aston Villa would be an interesting and open attacking game from both side but I'm always against "draw" tips. I'm more confident in Aston Villa & BTTS at 4.20. Fulham - Everton is a game that could go either way; every punt on that one is valid but I'll pick BTTS on that one for safe.

I thought I posted my views on Liverpool vs. Manchester City in this thread, lol. I predicted a draw, but City always finds a way to win games you least expect them to. Now they're in a proper title race run-in, and the pressure is on Arsenal; let's see how they finish the month of January, and don't forget, they were leading comfortably at the same time last season before losing the lead to Manchester City in May, so anything could happen, and there's still plenty of time.

Aston Villa being 3rd and continue to win their games is not looking good for Liverpool chances of making the top 4 this season. Chelsea and Manchester united have some decent upcoming fixtures unlike Liverpool

Liverpool almost destroyed City in the first 30 minutes of the second half. Then they scored a goal, and after that, completely gave the game to City. Of course, if you want to win, you don't do things like that. I would say City didn't find a way to win, so much as Liverpool found a way to lose.

Villa did not win, but played to a draw. I think Liverpool should look at Villas' results, because they seem to be the weakest of the top 5 at the end of the season. (If even 5th place is enough for CL)

Anyway, what are you guys betting this weekend.  I'm looking for high odds with decent chances of the result happening.  Something like a draw for Bournemouth vs Aston Villa and BTTS at 4.10.    I'm also liking the draw no bet for Everton at 2.55.  The genius Moyes will strike again. 

What do you guys think?

I got 2 out of 2 this weekend with decent odds.    And the funny part is the genius Moyes strikes again.  Lolol.    There's just something about the guy if he manages a somewhat stable club.  If United just stuck with him to run the club and bring stability, I think the transition to a more high profile manager would have been easier.

And City won a very important match.  Their title hopes are still alive.

Described the situation more better - Slot has been poor in in-game management this season. This is not the first or second time they're losing from a winning position this season. He needs to fix up and I think England still have the 5 slots for next season CL.

They won in the first half and had the game under control. Wow what's happening Emery- they've lost 6 points in the last two games, which isn't looking good..

Midweek fixtures rn folks...  What picks do you guys got?    I'd like to get behind the genius Moyes once again but the draw no bet line has no value at 1.72.  And I don't trust Everton with a straight up to win bet at the current line.  Lol.

The other match I'm looking at is Aston Villa vs Brighton.  Feeling like Aston Villa will play hard to win this one at home after taking a couple of losses back to back at home.  What do you guys think of Aston Villa to win and over 1.5 goals combo at 2.24?  

[JollyGood]

It was a massive result when Manchester City beat Liverpool at Anfield because it keeps them in the title chase. If Arsenal collapse again just as they do every season and fail to win the Premier League, is it only Manchester City that can catch them? Aston Villa are dropping too many points whereas Manchester United have made a late charge towards to the top three but is it too late for them to aim higher?

Now that both Manchester United and Chelsea dropped an important points midway to 3rd; Aston Villa are going to make sure they win the next game to extend their lead to +2 points. Now I have strong feelings about your Aston Villa &1.5 tips more than ever.

I might do a betbuider and add Roger SOT at 1.35 ( yes I'm greedy, I know)

^  Yeah had strong feelings about Aston Villa and the over 1.5 goals combo too...  Until I saw the results.    Was expecting it to end with a 2 - 1 scoreline.  Oh well...

Yup the pressure will start mounting on Arteta around the middle of March or early in April.  Lolol.  The gap will be just a point and Guardiola and the boys at City will start smelling blood then go for the jugular by May.  GG.

Arsenal are playing away this evening at Brentford. They will be feeling the pressure because Aston Villa and Manchester City won their games and we are nearing the time of the season when Arsenal usually collapse and do not recover to make a serious challenge to win the Premier League. I am confident Thiago will score for Brentford, whether it will be enough to win the game or not is a different question.

^  Wups, the gap is just 4 points now from 6 after the draw against Brentford.  I think that not including the match against Man City, Arsenal could get a couple more draws in the next 6 fixtures or they could even get a loss.  This is gonna get really interesting.

What are the prop bet odds for Man City to win the league?  That thing should be going up by now.  Arsenal's schedule isn't that easy with them still in the UCL.  And are they still in domestic cup games?
