Mohamed Salah has a great performance. But he still hasn't got a new contract. And despite that, he has kept his mood up. I think he should be congratulated. He is a real professional.

What Mo Salah did needs to be an example for other players, even though he has not received a new contract from the club he plays for, he continues to show his class as the player who contributes the most to the team. Liverpool should see him as a priority to keep because his loyalty is so high, he is a legend and deserves the respect to retire at Anfield.

He is the best player by far in this team and always makes up with some incredible shot to give them a win or give them an advantage. They need to give him a new contract as soon as possible because he never played better and he is in his prime now. He has 2-3 years at least to give his best and they need to renew the contract as soon as possible so that they dont lose him

As I expected, Man City managed to get through Leicester with 3 points, despite playing away, but I don't think this indicates the end of Man City's problems. Despite the result, it was not a good game for Guardiola's team, it was a close one, with both teams having similar shots on goals and Leicester slightly dominating in possession. I'd expected Man City to be much more dominant, given they played against 19th team in the table. But at least the most important stats, the goals, were where they should be. Hopefully we'll see more improvements in the games to come.

Man United getting beaten at home by Newcastle was not a major surprise. Newcastle has been on fire recently while Man United keeps disappointing. Newcastle is getting closer to the 4th Chelsea, who lost their 2nd game in a row and it's starting to look like they're already out of the race for the title.

Another great game by Liverpool, they're on another level both, in the Premier League and in the Champions League. I don't think many expected Liverpool to be doing that well without Klopp, but Arne keeps proving he was the right choice.

Salah future at Liverpool is still unclear after no contract extension offered by the current management, but he still shows outstanding performance and contribution as if he still has a long contract at Liverpool, his work ethic and loyalty are extraordinary and are not affected with all by any speculation regarding his contract and future, So far we have seen many players who are actually bothered by contract speculation and his future in a team that ultimately affects the player's performance but we don't see this as the case for Salah at this time, Salah's loyalty and contribution so far should be a reference for Liverpool to propose a new contract to him although it may be with the short term contract for respect him all this time, besides, if they lose Salah, of course, it will be a big loss for Liverpool and it will be difficult for them  to find a replacement worthy like him.

Manchester United have lost again, meaning they have failed to win another match. This team's poor performance continues, they are trying to improve themselves a lot but are not able to do so. In fact, many football fans thought that their team's new coach might be able to turn the team around. But I don't see much change in the situation of this group, it remains the same as before. Manchester United didn't play well against Newcastle, I agree they have the best players in their team but why do they perform so poorly?.

If after a change of head coach to a new outstanding manager and still the results that triggered the change still persist  then the players should be another area to address because that's what is just the problem with the club right now and not a coaching issue, with these same set of players there's no miracle the new coach can do to turn the club back to glory days.

Aside this loss to Newcastle, it's apparent that Manchester United are likely to lose their next two matches against Liverpool and Arsenal as a result of their poor team performance. If United fail to get it right in signing in the right players in the January transfer to help bring back the team to being competitive then they may be facing relegation base on their current position on the table.

Arsenal's match today is very important to win and seize the runner-up position which is currently occupied by Nottingham Forest who has collected 1 point more, Arsenal must win to continue to be close to Liverpool this is Arsenal's opportunity because Chelsea has lost points in 2 matches so he must make the most of it.
I think many are favoring Arsenal in this match to bet their money including myself.

You bet on under 3.5 goals?
I think it is very risky because this is a tough match because Arsenal really needs a win as you said but on the other hand Brentford also has a good match at home so it is possible for many goals to be scored in this match.
If it is not possible I think betting on Arsenal to win only with odds @1.42 is quite feasible because the winning percentage is quite large.

Arsenal are favorite win the game no doubt but you should remember this football and anything can happen better for Arsenal too if they win because that will make go second position above Nottingham Forest with 2 point so I believe with this Arsenal will definitely make everything possible to make sure they go home with all 3 points to give them more boast to contend for the tittle and it will also make the English premier league more competitive because Liverpool seems unstoppable at the moment since Manchester City who are suppose to put pressure on them for the tittle race has suddenly drop form in the past week if not getting a winning in their last game against Leicester city. It is always advisable when gambling to gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loss and it shouldn't be money meant for our personal use. My prediction in today match is over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United didn't play well against Newcastle, I agree they have the best players in their team but why do they perform so poorly?

Newcastle scored two goals in the first 20 minutes of today's match, after which Manchester United's players were unable to attack any more and they were unable to score any goals.

You mentioned that Manchester United has the greatest players in the squad, there isn't a better player in the Manchester United team, in my opinion. Ten Hags was too busy rebuilding the team with useless defenders, and during the last two seasons, he was unable to add any top attackers to improve their performance. How can the best manager rely on Garnacho and Rashford? Every position in Manchester United is weak, and even the defenders he signed aren't good enough at defending goals. Even the new manager seemed to be very confused, not knowing which players should be used to win games.

Yes I mentioned that Manchester United has many great players, some of the best players in Manchester United include Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes. The few players I have mentioned here are certainly very good players and they perform well. But these players cannot perform very well for Manchester United, due to which their team is not able to win the match. You said that Manchester United is weak in every way, so if this team is to become stronger, they need to buy some more top players. Manchester United needs a good striker at the moment, The striker currently at Manchester United cannot perform well in every match.

I honestly get tired of supporting them season after season only to see them failing to lift it up. I Still believe in my heart that they have whatever it takes to win the league competition at the end of this season. The game tonight would be a must win as you have said, failure to bring in a replacement for Saka will definitely have negative effects on how they play. It's a good thing the transfer window kicked off already.

T's a safe bet to make, Brentford United was good at home but not currently as they have lost a couple few. This game should end in Arsenal's good books at the end of ninty minutes. They deserve to be top if not for the unnecessary bookings at the start of the season.

The under 3.5 goals option here is for Arsenal alone.

I don't see it as a very risky bet thou based on your analysis above. Arsenal need to win this game in order to boost their confidence to climp up the ladder since Chelsea has slipped down a bit. If Brentford is as good as you assumed, Arsenal will not find it easy passing them considering that Arsenal is also the visiting team here. Moreover, when the match is tough, you hardly see goals raining unlike when two average teams play each other. For Arsenal to score four goals in this match is unrealistic unless Brentford plays too poorly.

Arsenal have a very good chance of winning the game and improving their position in the Premier League table at the moment, but even so, against Brentford it will not be easy because however Arsenal often struggle to win every time they meet, I think the match will be an opportunity for Arsenal to continue to stick tightly to Liverpool as a title contender after Chelsea also lost points in other match, playing at home, of course, will give them better motivation to win the match later, especially with the support of the fans and also high confidence after the previous victory can be an support factor for Arsenal in the match.

Yes indeed, Arsenal is in a very good position in this Premier League series, although it is doubtful whether they can compete with Liverpool, but they can definitely go to the second position.  Today's match is very important for them and very easy because the team they play against is much weaker than them.  Strategically and if they don't lose unfortunately I am sure they can win this match.  If they win this match, they will move to the second position in the points table
Nottm Forest have suddenly played very well in the previous few matches in this series.  Which is why they are now way ahead in terms of points but there is no doubt that Arsenal will overtake them

Arsenal is playing against Brentford today and the match is going to be tough, the reason why I said it going to be tough is because of Saka that got injured, Arsenal last match shows that Saka is very important in the team, the game is very important for Arsenal to win the match to be among the top four teams in the League, at this moment we all know that Liverpool has show us that they are the title winner but it will be good if Arsenal keep trying their best maybe Liverpool will also drop point in some games.

Arsenal needs to sign another player in this January transfer window in other to make the team's performance look good, I have said before that Arsenal needs to have another player who can play Saka's position in case Saka gets injured, Arsenal puts hope on Saka and that is why even last season when Saka got injured Arsenal find it difficult to win a match.

Brentford are a quite interesting team honestly. Currently we see them at the 12th position however they are one of the teams with the most points collected in home games.    7W, 1D, 1L... If they weren't one of the worst away teams at the same time, they were probably going to be fighting for top 5 or so now. But here they are playing another home game which is against Arsenal. I find Arsenal's odds @1.43 quite low considering these statistics. I wouldn't take that big meaningless risk.

Instead I would prefer over 2.5 goals & BTTS @2.04.    I believe we are going to watch a really competitive game and not a boring one. Brentford score a lot in home games and Arsenal are also really good at it in away ones.

Picking Full Time bet to Arsenal would likely to easiest bet to take in this round. I believe Arsenal's odds is quite decent with 1.46, but the odds gap to Total Over 2.5 is not that big.  We know Arsenal may be guaranteeing us to win it if we pick them win.

I'd rather pick Total Over 3 considering the odds is quite attractive as it closer to 2. I expect a fierce game, but Arsenal is in its top perform, so i think more than 3 goals to happen soon.

Arsenal overused Saka and they had very bad strategy on using this player and protect him in long term. In last 4 seasons, Saka was used a lot and Arsenal did not pay too much attention on taking care of Saka and defending his career proactively. In two latest seasons, Saka began to have more injuries but it's not enough warning for Arsenal to restructure their strategy on using Saka.

It becomes worse in this season and if Arsenal have worse performances in next months, they can not blame it on unluckiness but it's mainly from their bad management.

Arsenal needs to sign another player in this January transfer window in other to make the team's performance look good, I have said before that Arsenal needs to have another player who can play Saka's position in case Saka gets injured, Arsenal puts hope on Saka and that is why even last season when Saka got injured Arsenal find it difficult to win a match.

Arsenal already spent a lot of money recent years to build up their squad and compete Premier League title. I believe they no longer have abundant money to do this, and they have to think very carefully of purchasing any new player especially in winter transfer season that is very risky with failure rate is higher than successful rate in history.

When Amorim came I was hoping for a big change, it was a little bit noticeable at the beginning of the game. Initially, I had high hopes for Amorim. But maybe the EPL is not as tough as the Portuguese League, Amorim has also made a bad record to this day. Losing 3 matches in a row makes Man United only 7 points away from Ipswich in the relegation zone. The bad news is that the Man United boss has told him that he will not spend much money on the January transfer market. But will this happen? I think Ratcliffe is not happy with this condition either. The bad thing is, is it possible that Man United can be relegated?

[SOKO-DEKE]

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.

With Manchester city performances against leicester city I can't fully say that Manchester City is back in winning streak despite they won the game with 2-0,honestly they did not played as team that is back in good form,they try but no much prove that they are back their form. I know how Manchester city always played this kind of team like leicester city before, they always be in control of everything in the pitch either ball possession, chances created, passes and dangerous tackles but it seem that leicester even won ball possession and have more good chances.

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.

The hope of Liverpool winning this season premier league honestly is increasing day by day, and at this points it is only if they are not just lucky enough that may not win the Premier League title,because no much competition in the on going premier league title the points that Liverpool is leading is really much from. Second or third team in the race, infact I have much believe that Liverpool will be the winner of the Premier League this season.

I think amorim still needs a lot of time to adapt with the fierce competition in the English league, currently they are on the verge of relegation but they still have a chance to rise and avoid the relegation zone later, if Manchester United can return to the the winning track in the second half of this season.

Expecting management to spend money in the January transfer market seems a little difficult, considering their spending that has been so large before, although there is still a possibility that management will recruit new players, but I think it may not be as aggressive as they did previous seasons.

The second halve of the season is here already, hope you’re taking notes. The returning games are already being played and it’s always difficult in this round with skulls to settle. So, if they are not back to taking those necessary points and compete favorably in the tough or difficult fixtures, they might miss more than the conference league this season.

The EPL is indeed a league full of surprises. Only a momentarily, Chelsea were looking like title contenders to Liverpool, now, they are 4th on the table with the unexpected Nottingham Forest matching the energy. Don’t think they would last long there but, is Arsenal going to pick up the pace I wonder.
