Manchester City won, what a strange event.
Not so sweet win thinking about on how Liverpool destroyed for 5-0 West Ham.

Many games still have to be played in this turn but nothing and noone seems able to stop them.
Arsenal and Chelasea must win tomorrow and now they are under big pressure.

City are already out of the title race, their results don't matter. As for the other participants, I think they are already demoralized by the incredible results of Liverpool, they look invincible. Considering that for Arsenal, second place is like a curse, I don't think they have positive emotions about the fact that they have a big chance of silverware. Maybe Chelsea have such enthusiasm, but they are still not ready for the race.

5 freaking goals sheeshhhhh!!!! That's cold! Salah was running around like captain cruch, looking for other possibilities to make it 7 or more I guess.. These boys have picked really fine form and the game seems too small for them to play in   oh, get over it, that's just an exaggeration.. Delulu !!!

I'd really love us to take a look at Alexander- Arnold's goal today... What in the heavens was that easy flick with the ball? Before I realized what happened, it was in the net.... I was just as startled as the keeper.

Salah always steals the attention in every Liverpool match, he is so active in scoring goals and contributing assists. The game is really beyond our expectations because I didn't expect Liverpool to score 5 goals at West Ham's home. The first 20 minutes of the match I predicted Liverpool would win by a narrow score but since the deadlock was broken by Diaz in the 30th minute, Liverpool's game has become more aggressive in attacking.

There are so many good passes made by Liverpool, they even didn't let West Ham threaten their defense line at all. A good strategy and also the players are in their best form. A good opportunity can be utilized by Liverpool where they routinely locked 3 points in the previous 3 matches. I think for the time being there is very little chance for other teams to disturb Liverpool's position at the top of the standings, they have performed extraordinarily this season.

West Ham 0 - 5 Liverpool (I confess that I expected Liverpool to win, but I didn't expect them to score 5 goals)

Liverpool have a very good form and they are like can not be stopped so far. With 8 points more than Nottingham Forest at the second postion, 9 and 10 points more than Arsenal and Chelsea at third and fourth positions, Liverpool will start a second part of season with very great advantage. They play well and create very good advantage for winning Premier League title. Inconsistency of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City bring more opportunities for Liverpool to take the title.

Salah scored only one goal but contributed 2 assists and generally he had very great contributions for Liverpool in this big win as well as in their first position too. This is an amazing season for Liverpool, Slot, Salah and the Red generally.

I'd really love us to take a look at Alexander- Arnold's goal today... What in the heavens was that easy flick with the ball? Before I realized what happened, it was in the net.... I was just as startled as the keeper.

Alexander Arnold has better ability for attacking from passing and shots than for defense. This player can play better as an attacking player and Slot can pay his attention on strength and weakness of Arnold to maximize contributions from this player.

I have been reading a lot of criticism of Amorim tactics, Manchester United fans should be patient and try to forge a new path with this manager. Mikel Arteta wasn’t that great in the beginning but he’s now of the top managers in the Premier League. If Amorim is to succeed at Manchester United, he has be assured of the una wavering support of the fans and club management. When Amorim has signed his preferred choice of players, then we can start to expect him to succeed at the club. The previous manager, Erik ten Hag was a menace who almost ruined the club. He spent so much money to bring his former players to the club and they all flopped. I want to believe that Amorim will be better than his predecessor.

If they will be patient with Amorim, there is no doubt it will be fine with the team but you should understand that Manchester United fans have gone through a lot this season so the expectation is that  the coming of Ruben Amorim will change the situation completely but instead of that to happen, it seems Manchester United is situation remains the same as they were during the time of Erik Ten Hag. I won't say that change of coach failed them because Amorim is relatively new in the team and deserve more time to prove himself.

Having relied on the wrong man for so long, if Manchester United cannot rely on the right man then it will be a major failure for them. Manchester United now has a proper manager in charge so he will have to give him time if Manchester United expect a lot of success from him very quickly then this will not be possible. The current manager of Manchester United is a man like ten other managers. If he is expected to produce results like a machine, it is not possible with this manager. But if Manchester United give this manager enough time and give him financial freedom, I believe he will lead Manchester United to a good position and win major tournaments for Manchester United.

Manchester City finally won a match yesterday. The match they won against Leicester City can be a positive for them, Because they won yesterday after poor performances in many matches. Among the few more matches played yesterday, in one match Nottm Forest and Everton faced each other but in that match Nottm Forest won with a very good performance i.e. they won the match by 2-0 goals.

The most interesting of these matches was Liverpool's match, they won again. Yesterday, Liverpool was able to win again against West Ham by a very large margin. The way Liverpool is consistently performing well in this year's Premier League, maybe no other team can consistently perform well like them.

Maybe Chelsea have such enthusiasm, but they are still not ready for the race.

After Liverpool managed to close out the 2024 season with a big win at West Ham, Manchester City chances of retaining the EPL title are certainly getting smaller. Arne Slot team seemed unstoppable, they played so fiercely without caring where they were playing. West Ham became the latest victim of Liverpool's might in 2024, victory over Southampton in the previous match could not help them match the power that Liverpool possessed.

Liverpool are now increasingly solid at the top of the standings, now they are 8 points ahead of Nottingham Forest and 9 points ahead of Arsenal. While Man City are still fighting to return to the top four, the win over Leicester City ended a series of poor results in the last few matches.

After experiencing a series of negative results, finally manchester city managed to win from a team that is in the relegation zone at the moment, although they won in the match but their performance in my opinion was not optimal, especially in  defence line, but I think this victory can be a momentum for them to return to positive ways and improve their position in the current standings.

Nottingham Forest managed to destroy everton very solid defence after two goals they managed to create against pickford, previously everton can get points from big teams like arsenal and chelsea, but against nottingham became a nightmare for them in that match.

Liverpool again appeared extraordinary, although they had difficulties at the beginning of the match but they managed to destroy Westham with a landslide score in the end match, the victory over Westham further made Liverpool firmly at the top of the standings with 45 points, as well as Salah who is currently the top score of the English league 17 goals.

That's right, I agree with your opinion, It's very nice to see this match, from the beginning of the match it can be seen that Liverpool has been very dominating, like there is no hope for West Ham to win, this match is an unlucky day for the goalkeeper, conceding 5 goals is a shame, lol.

Good result, bad gameplay. That's what i got from City last night. I don't see something positive from them, except mcatee. It's embarrassing when City has so many young attakers, but they totally outperformed by Vardy in term of pressing.

It's such unacceptable thing. They played badly until McAtee came in. Their mid still nonexistent while their defense is still laughable. Hopefully pep can sort it out asap.

The most interesting of these matches was Liverpool's match, they won again. Yesterday, Liverpool was able to win again against West Ham by a very large margin. The way Liverpool is consistently performing well in this year's Premier League, maybe no other team can consistently perform well like them.

It's more Salah's showdown. He gave everything he has in this game, and the way he was able using his alternate angle is so crazy as hell. If he stays, his club win PL title.

Coaching Manchester United is not a privilege. When the camera focuses on the new coach, I can see how much he is struggling and living through a real nightmare. The team has been cursed for many years, and there is no clear evidence of the reason. Even players, when they join Manchester United, quickly become unskilled or lazy (such as Casemiro) and not good enough to represent the Red Devils. I think they need to give the coach enough time. Personally, I believe Mourinho was the best coach among them.

West Ham 0 - 5 Liverpool (I confess that I expected Liverpool to win, but I didn't expect them to score 5 goals)

5 goals seems like too many, but West Ham has resisted teams of their own caliber on their home ground. They have either defeated or drawn against teams of their caliber, but have lost to all the championship contenders. City, Chelsea and Arsenal have defeated West Ham very easily.

Arsenal even scored 5 goals.

As for Liverpool, they are a very fit team and have an 8 point lead over their closest pursuer Nottingham. Despite having 1 game less than Nottingham.

If nothing untoward happens, the Premier League champion will be determined in April this year. The biggest candidate is Liverpool.

Odds for all tomorrow's games:


Some might say that betting against Man City is a good value bet, as it doesn't look like the bookies account for Man City's recent streak of 5 games without a win and only 1 win in their last 13 games. Still, I wouldn't bet against them, as I have a feeling they will break that streak and come home with the much-needed 3 points.

Yesterday,we saw excellent game of the tournament because Manchester City did excellent come back and won the match against Leicester City football team. That was totally one sided match and Manchester City proved, that is big team and they know how to jump in down fall. Leicester City football team could not do any goal in this match and Manchester City has brilliant position on the table because Manchester City has 31 points on the table and has 5th position on the table. Sávio did first goal of the match he did goal at 21 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after this opponent team did struggle but could not do any goal in this match and after this one more player did goal in this match and that was Haaland and he did goal at 74 minutes of the match and his team won the match one sided.

Honestly I didn't see anything special with TAA's goal.    If you didn't notice the ball changes direction by hitting a West Ham player there. That leaves the goalkeeper desperate about saving the shot.

But TAA looked really happy in this game while there are still speculations about him to join Real Madrid. Arne Slot also points out how happy he is by showing his goal celebration there as a proof. I don't know we will see on next days.

Liverpool are really unstoppable that's obvious. They are a goal machine lately. Will anybody be able to keep up with them you think? Personally I don't think so.

Really surprised that Manchester city won today and they kept a clean sheet. It's really been a long time we have seen city win and keep a clean sheet in a premier league game this season. I knew Liverpool were going to win Westham, but I didn't expect the goals will get to 5 without Westham replying despite the fact that they were playing from home. The surprising result for me today was Nottingham forest winning Everton at away. Everton that played draws with three big teams in the premier league, were won by Nottingham forest team, that's really surprising. Nottingham forest have moved to second position in the premier League. What if Nottingham forest are title contenders, can they really provide real competition for Liverpool in the title race? Nobody saw this coming from a Nottingham forest team. The premier League is really crazy this season. Can Nottingham forest repeat what Leicester city did in 2016?

I believe Manchester City has come back to winning ways with a comfortable 2 zero win against Leicester city at home though Leicester has not also been in a good form this season I believe Manchester City fans will be a bit happy because it has been long they won a matches I still believe this win against Leicester city will give them more confidence to win their next game.

Talking about Liverpool their performance against westham really shows how prepare they are in winning this season English premier league tittle honestly the scoreline really surprised me even when westham were playing at home.

Nottingham Forest has been surprising this season no body believe they will be in the current Position they are right now if they continue like this we might see them playing in the UEFA Champions league next season but I don't think they will win the English premier league tittle.

If nothing untoward happens, the Premier League champion will be determined in April this year. The biggest candidate is Liverpool.

When I see such results, when Liverpool crushes its rivals, I wonder whose merit it is, is it Klopp who built this team and handed it over to Sloth, or is it Sloth's merit who got a very good team and was able to improve it. Sloth gives the impression of a balanced and positive person, perhaps it is easy to work with such a coach, then it is unclear why Alexander-Arnold decided to leave Liverpool, maybe it is just a long-standing dream to play for Real.

[SmartCharpa]

We watched another magnificent recital from Liverpool today. They beat West-Ham 5-0, they are playing great football, Liverpool are at a completely different level. There was a settled squad and there was a very good chemistry with Arne Slot in the team.

Muhammed Salah could have definitely scored 3-4 goals in this match, he missed too many. We see a Muhammed Salah who turns on prime mode again and again. It is really great how they can hang around so comfortably in such a difficult league.

That was a fantastic performance by the players and Arne Slot, and it's clear that there was strong teamwork with the squad with their fantastic performance this season. The more I do not believe Liverpool, the more they beat their opponents by scoring a lot of goals. Take a look at how they scored five goals to thrash West Ham at home. Liverpool is ahead of the other teams in the league by 45 points and goals. With his improved play this season, you might be wondering if Moh Salah is growing younger as he continues to compete with younger players and leads the Premier League with 17 goals scored.

However, am I the only one who is surprised by how strong Nottingham Forest has been this season? If I am not mistaken, they are right now second in the Premier League title race for the first time. They scored two goals to defeat Everton in an away match, a team that Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea all failed to beat. Perhaps the squad will make it to the Champions League next season.

[Docnaster]

Playing away at West Ham yesterday, I expected Liverpool to pick up all three points from the game but I also thought they'll win with not more than three goal margin but little did I know that the big man Mohammed Salah will be in his rampant mood again. 5 unreplied goals in an away game I think is a very impressive result for the league leaders who are not just at the top of the English Premier League but also leading in the UEFA Champions League table as well as progressed to the semi finals of the Caraboa Cup. Liverpool seems to be unstoppable at the moment and I doubt there's any team that'll be able to match their strength in the league anytime soon

[hahay]

Behind the very impressive results so far this season for Liverpool, I personally really regret if Trent Alexander-Arnold really chose to join Real Madrid next season. Because for me, Trent Alexander-Arnold really has a very big role and contribution in making the rhythm of Liverpool's gameplay and performance very good so far. Although indeed, maybe Arne Slot will certainly have his own way to overcome if for example Trent Alexander-Arnold really leaves.

Obviously, Trent Alexander-Arnold is a very good young player and indeed, playing at Real Madrid is also that it will be suitable for Trent Alexander-Arnold. But anyway, if Trent Alexander-Arnold stays at Liverpool also that Trent Alexander-Arnold still has a chance to get a lot of trophies, and there is no need to leave. But yes, it all may have been his own choice to choose to play at Real Madrid and maybe for a better career and also the influence of the seduction made by Bellingham to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

[Velvet78]

I'm just thinking over what Salah can do more... I assume there is nothing coming to mind.    He is the beast this season. 17 goals and 13 assists in 18 Premier League games... These are really unreal statistics. It is way too extra for his age in my opinion. He has already become a Liverpool legend surely. He has even a big affect over families in England these days as people have started to name their babies "Mohamed" more than ever.

Another player I can say that I admire is Palmer. He is like the steal of the century for only 47 million euros. Now even his market value is 130 million and it is hard to tell how much Chelsea would price him.    Guardiola must be really craving for having a player like him in his team these days.

[bitgolden]

While I agree that Salah had a great game, did anyone really just got insanely angry that Nunez is still being played after such a game? Dude is straight up terrible and there is nothing to argue that he is not needed at that club.

I feel like if they want to keep the run going and win the premier league, and potentially maybe even with the champions league, they really need to end up with focusing on getting a proper striker during this window. Imagine having Gyokeres during this January window, they would literally become of the best teams in the world overnight, if they are already not, but I believe they already are, even with Nunez. Dude is just terrible, he is just a physically fit regular citizen out there.

I mean he literally has no difference than any of the fans, aside from his fitness, pick anyone from the stands that does 5 days a week workout to stay fit, and I bet you they would be as equally good at being a striker as Nunez, they would suck too, but at least they would be cheaper.
