It didn't take long for Liverpool to take the lead in the match. Less than 10 minutes, Jota got his name on the scoreboard. From the game of both teams, I think Liverpool will add goals and end the match with a win. Salah and Gakpo still haven't found a gap. One of them has a chance to score.
When the match is going like this, the best strategy to bet is to bet on the winning team for the 1st bet. For 1x2 bets must be done quickly because the odds will change quickly.

The first half ended with a score of 0-1 victory while in favor of Liverpool. Salah has not been able to get the best position at this time because Crystal Palace players are more focused on blocking Salah. So there is no gap for him to score a score.
Bet when the match starts and with a 0-1 advantage for me the odds are very small and not in accordance with the risks we get. Because usually with results like this can end in a draw.
I do not doubt Liverpool's performance but a surprise can always occur.

Liverpool game doesn't look as lively as I thought it would be and unfortunately it seems both teams are playing a reserved game even with a lone goal from Jota already on the board...
Perhaps Crystal Palace getting a goal back could spark things up, but from how the game is unfolding, clearly this could end in a 1-0 or 2-0 and not what I was looking for..lets see what other games bring after this one.

Salah subbed out , in comes Luiz Diaz.. clearly no goals coming

Few minutes left into the final whistle and the game is still on 0-1, crystal has been up and running in the pitch making it difficult and preventing Liverpool from scoring more goals, so their still little hope on their side to try to get a draw from this game. I was hoping it would have been an easy game for Liverpool side getting more goals in this game after that Diogo Jota got an account opening goal for Liverpool side at just in 9th minutes into the game.

Is already full time and the scores still remains as it is, Crystal palace 0-1 Liverpool. However looking at the way the game ended I think it was quite though for Liverpool and if not for that early goal by Diogo Jota on the 8th minutes I think the game would have just ended in 0-0 draw because despite the winning I think Crystal palace did their very best in this game but due to how strong Liverpool players are and with a enough experience and also their premier league title race they were able to secured the three points against Crystal palace.

It was already predicted that Liverpool would win the match easily. The match was not high in numbers of goals but the win was easy. Crystal Palace may have had a chance to equalize with a goal when they scored a goal in the 9th minute but they failed to score until the last minute of the match. Crystal Palace have played 7 matches without a win and only 3 draws. Crystal will be in action again on October 22 against Nottingham Forest, where they will be looking for a win. Some might think that if Diogo Jota hadn't scored it would have been difficult for Liverpool to win as the 2nd goal didn't add up.

Manchester City are struggling quite much in midfield currently against Fulham. Especially because of Kovacic... He has been making important mistakes so far. This makes them struggle more to create dangerous attacks and be vulnerable to attacks in defense at the same time. 

Rodri's being out for a long time due to injury makes things really difficult for his team. It wasn't unexpected of course. Because you know how he contributes to the defense and attacking area both. There is nobody else in the squad who can play in his role with the same impact.

And yes, while I was making this post Fulham got 1-0 ahead at Etihad.    Raul Jimenez's assist was incredible!

[Raflesia]

because Manchester United have always been surprising in several matches and it could be in this week's match as well.

There is nothing to doubt about who has the best performance between them. Aston Villa is definitely better and is on fire to kick out Ten Hag immediately tomorrow. I don't know what the team can do to keep their coach to stay at MU, because they are stuck and nothing can do to save him. Even if MU wins with an impossible strategy also, Ten hag position is still vulnerable to get the sack. So, I think MU must play naturally tomorrow, don't be burdened with pressure from anybody, so if they play freely and win, they are not stiff anymore for the next match, and Ten Hag position maybe will considered again to manage team.

As I said, a busy schedule can be a difficult condition to predict. We can see that their break before returning to play is only 2 days, which means there will definitely be some rotations that will definitely occur in this match.

Although it cannot be denied that in terms of teamwork now indeed Aston Villa looks much better prepared but on the other hand in 90 minutes of the match we cannot predict for sure especially when there are some things that might not be wanted just like the red card that occurred for Bruno in the previous match so in this case all possibilities can still occur.

As a comparison in today's match alone we can see that Manchester City are still troubled and Liverpool only managed to win with a thin score because they forced to export players and partly rotated.

Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in their seventh match and are currently at the top of the points table, but they may not stay there for long as Manchester City already hold a 3-1 lead against Fulham. Manchester City as well as Arsenal are most likely to win the current match as they are leading against Southampton at the end of 90 minutes.  If some extra time is added, maybe Arsenal will defend there so we will see Manchester City at the first position of the points table and Arsenal at the second position of the points table at the end of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal.

[Plaguedeath]

So far, nothing surprising with the results.

Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City managed to win even though they won not with big points.

Arne Slot already tired with Nunez, even he was become a starter and played for full time, his performance didn't change at all. It's a wise move to replace him with Jota, even he's not a star player, but his performance better than Nunez.

[Velvet78]

- Crystal Palace - Liverpool => my pick: Liverpool win @1.64
- Arsenal - Southampton => my pick: Handicap Arsenal 0:1 @1.51
- Manchester City - Fulham => my pick: Handicap Manchester City 0:1 @1.72

Total odds are like 4.26.

It was so close...    Liverpool made me really worried in the second half though but they won anyway. I'm thankful for Jota about the winning goal but he wasted a few big goal opportunities too.  

Arsenal made me disappointed first when they conceded first. But that comeback was relieving. Saka had a huge role of course. 1 goal and 2 assists... Pretty good effort.

However the last one caused my bet to lose. Manchester City still managed to get 3-1 ahead despite all the struggles they had. But they couldn't maintain the gap a few more minutes.    That 3-2 final score was disappointing.

Salah subbed out , in comes Luiz Diaz.. clearly no goals coming 

A lot of people did not really enjoy their game I did not even watch their game but the kind of expression you are showing is making me to go and watch a highlight of what they played and I saw someone saying that he placed a bet for over two goals for Liverpool am just wondering how dissatisfied thay fellow will be because when you lose a bet, after the first goal that jota scored the other once became an attempt, and I don't know why people did not see the game interesting is it because of they are playing against crystal palace. And Liverpool is looking as if they going to be outshining arsenal this season, and the game actually ended 1:0 and crystal palace were unable to score. Almost the ending of the game that salah was removed and Luis came in his replacement and nothing changed but they still won the game by 1 null.

Liverpool's game against Crystal Palace ended with a score of 1-0, Liverpool's performance did not look like a team that wants to compete for the title this season, I expected them to score at least two to three goals against Crystal Palace, however, Liverpool games against Crystal Palace are always difficult, if Jota had not converted the chance they had in 9 minutes as they started the game, the match could have ended in a draw. However, Crystal Place beat Liverpool at home last season in an away game, but I didn't expect them to perform much better against Liverpool this season because Olise, who contributed to the club last season, has joined another team.

Furthermore, if Chiesa returns from injury, I think Arne Slot should start considering him as one of the key players, Salah cannot contribute as he once did, this is not the Moh Salah we knew a few years ago. Salah's contract will expire at the end of the season, and I doubt the player would renew it due to his age, he is already 32. So if Salah leaves at the end of the season, it will not affect their performance.

I'm a huge fan of Rodri and I know what he brings to the midfied of Manchester City. I know the difficulties they'll be facing ahead and this is just the start of it. He brings both stability and also offensive and as well agressive energy into that midfied. People place so much importance of Kevin De Bruyne but he is indeed the key for Pep Guardiola's City. Kovacic will try bit he is more of the offensive style of midfielder doing the dirty works for Manchester City behind Rodri. They need to bring in a player who can do things like Rodri in midfied. I'm not a city fan but I love watching them. ( Beautiful football is all they play )

[dezoel]

Getting a win, a boring one but a win is always the most important part. At the end of the season, nobody will remember it was just a one goal win, they will remember how many points you had and even not that they will remember your position if you are the winner and rarely the others.

So, the best thing to do is just keep winning, no matter how. The goal came in very early within first ten minutes and rest of the time both teams just tried to defend well enough, and tried to counter attack and neither managed to score again, so it was a full on game of boring period. Considering the added times we saw nearly 90 minutes of no goals and not even any proper decent positions that many times, so it was definitely boring after the goal.

This doesn't matter for Liverpool, they should still be happy with three points and we could definitely see this growing to be a higher level if they keep this up, they are leading and if they play this good then they may get the title.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Aston Villa is in a very good mood after they beat Bayern in the Champions League. And Manchester United, who often got bad results in the European League. Maybe struggle to beat them in an away game.
 

I don't know, but I think Aston Villa are already believing it, by beating a Bayern Munich team that is on a very good run in Germany they have high morale, I don't know how a MU's performance can be at the moment, it's something that I find very difficult to predict, normally when MU faces very big teams they end up tied, because that's all I've seen in the last few games, they always start with the same strategy and don't go beyond it , I think that all teams find it very easy to read MU's intentions, that's why things don't go their way

[ILuckyGuyI]

Manchester City won today maybe but just don't be deceived with the score. There is no such score to be in such condition though. 

They didn't have an easy game at all. Fulham were very comfortable with their attacks. They even had a chance to make it 2-0 right after getting ahead. If I'm not mistaken it must be Adama Traore wasting a huge chance there.

Otherwise we could have been talking about a whole different game.    Rodri really makes big difference. It doesn't look like Manchester City will get used to staying strong without him shortly.

Liverpool are able to maintain the first position for another week, all the top clubs that played today, and were able to get a win in their match. Liverpool were able to get three points in the match, which is what everyone is after, but the match wasn’t really interesting the way it was expecting it to be. I expected Liverpool to score more goals in the match, but they were able to score just one goal, which they did in the first half of the match. Liverpool dominated the match, but they wasted the chances they had and were able to score just a goal in the match.

I believe when teams play too many games, eventually they get very tired and this causes them to get unpredicted results. This isn't new, there are many teams who go further in UCL for many years, some teams are always good and those teams always have uncommon unexpected losses in their leagues every season, just one or two, but it happens and because of this we should not be really that much shocked about it.

We need to focus on what we can do and how we can do it, but that doesn't mean we are going to see this getting any different and we are going to lose our bets out of nowhere sometimes but we need to agree to this.

The rest of the time the yare good and we just bet on them to win. City for example is a team that keeps on winning, they had 5 of last 6 titles and 4 in a row and they went 30+ winning streaks too, but in the end what happened we ended up with some unexpected results here and there with them too. Like how Real ended up losing to Lille for example just the other day.

Oops, well predicted that no more goals will come after Luiz Diaz was brought in to replace Mo Salah. The game ended 1-0 and that was something no one was expecting because of Liverpools quality and how good their performance is currently. Crystal Palace shouldn’t be a team to trouble them in this match but they did and they narrowly won the game by one goal. Crystal Palace have always been a big hinderance for big teams to win three points, so I’m not too surprised that Liverpool won with just one goal.

Otherwise we could have been talking about a whole different game.    Rodri really makes big difference. It doesn't look like Manchester City will get used to staying strong without him shortly.

If they had a way, they will bring Rodri in for their next match and rush his treatment and recovery process but it will cause them more harm. Manchester City won the match but it wasn’t an easy one for them though. You’ll definitely see the changes in the game as Rodri was not in today to cover the midfield for them. Good game and three points well earned by them. They still maintain their position in the table and continue the fight for the title fight.

I want to believe the same thing but I think we need to use the way they use to win Bayern Munich into consideration. That goal wasn't expected, look at the long pass Toress gave Duran, it was a long one and as soon as Duran got the ball, he tapped it and over the goal keepers head and immediately they went rogue on defending game which was difficult for Bayern to penetrate. They can't beat Bayern on normal ground but football happens anyway.

Manchester United might pull some triggers we may not see coming because if they lose this match, the little credibility they are managing with fans is going to be over and more probability of Erik Ten Hag going to leave the club, forget the scope of early and believing in players. There is nothing to believe in him again, all those statements are crap and cheap talks.
