I think that, right now, Liverpool is the strongest team in England and yet they still have difficulties at winning against a team like Nottingham Forest. Liverpool had 70% ball possession and lots of missed goal opportunities, while Nottingham had a great goalkeeper.
Nottingham Forest is the big surprise of the Premier League and I really want them to finish at Top 3, but it would really difficult for them to compete against Arsenal and Chelsea. Manchester City failed to keep two goals in advance against Brentford. Maybe Guardiola's divorce is one of the reason why Manchester City is so inconsistent and weal. There's no doubt that Liverpool will become champions.

Yes Liverpool are the strongest and the best team in the EPL right now. Having difficulties at winning against a team like Nottingham Forest shows that how unpredictable and competitive the Premier League is. Nottingham Forest have been on fire this season in the EPL and I wish they can maintain this performance through out and also secure a spot that will make them play Champions League football next season.

Week 21 is an important week for Arsenal to shift Nottingham Forest in 2nd position who were held to a draw by Liverpool yesterday. Unfortunately, the 3 points are not easy to win from Tottenham, because every time they meet, not many goals are scored. Based on the chances, the home team seems to be favored with 1.36x, the temptation comes from Tottenham with 7.80 so do you dare to drop it to the away team?

I just checked on my signature Rollbit to confirm the same odds at 7.80 for Spurs and I think the bookies are really being generous with that odd. Arsenal are not as good as they’ve used to be, Saka is out except we are expecting him back with some surprises, G. Jesus is out injured as well and Havertz isn’t any reliable to get many balls on target. Spurs on the other hand, they’ve got a good force in Solanke, Son and Maddison. They look more than capable to get something out of this fixture for such an odd.

Why is Arsenal's odd so high considering the fact things hasn't been too good in their last few games. Too many problems for them at the moment, so I can't make predictions for the game. I'm not even sure if Arsenal can score a goal in this game because they've always struggled to score open play goals. Still don't know why the management is not interested in strengthening the attack, even though they've been able to do that in the defensive backline over the years.

It's a North London derby, and arsenal fans won't take any excuse. All 3 points will do them more good in moving further on the table. A draw or loss reduces their chance further in the title race. Good luck to both sides.

This is the kind of bets some of my friends like, big odd with high probability. I will not even be surprised if Tottenham disgrace Arsenal tonight because Arsenal have not been doing too exceptional lately. With this big odd, one can even play Tottenham to win either half which will still give around 3 odds. Although, it is risky to think that Tottenham will win because Arsenal are the teams with the advantage in this match in terms of their players and their performance of late. Therefore, Arsenal will likely win the match but it can be a narrow win because Tottenham will try to score as many goals as they can.

The bookmakers have their algorithm to decide the odds and with the statistics so far, you will justify the odds they set. But on the other hand, Tottenham is not as weak as they depicted. Solanke has been on a great form and with Son also in the front will give a great balance compared to Sterling, Harverts and Trossard combination. I don't know why Arteta decided to play Trossard ahead of Martinelli which I know Martinelli gives more pressure than Trossard.

Now that Tottenham is leading by a goal, Arsenal need to work their ass out this time around to equalize and possibly make a win.

[Fiatless]

Arsenal is losing at home. Son gave Tottenham Huspurs the lead and the Gunners are seeking ways to get an equalizer. It seems the absence of Bukayo Saka had affected Arsenal and they now struggle to win games. There is still more time to play and I hope Mikel Arteta will be able to win this game to enable them to take advantage of the point drop by Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Edit: The game is now I-1 after Arsenal got a goal through an own goal by Solanke in the 40th minute. The game is now open for both teams to clinch the three points.

Yes Liverpool are the strongest and the best team in the EPL right now. Having difficulties at winning against a team like Nottingham Forest shows that how unpredictable and competitive the Premier League is.

Nottingham Forest's performance has been so good this season, they are currently in 2rd position. I expected the match to be difficult for Liverpool because we saw how Nottingham Forest has been playing and how they played against Liverpool in the first leg. They are the only club that has been able to get a win against Liverpool: Nottingham Forest, so I expected yesterday’s match to be so difficult for Liverpool, and Liverpool couldn’t get a win in the match, they could only get a draw.

I agree that Liverpool is still the best club in the Premier League, but I am still expecting some matches to be difficult for Liverpool. We don’t expect Liverpool to win all their matches, even as they have the best performance currently.

Nottingham Forest have been on fire this season in the EPL and I wish they can maintain this performance through out and also secure a spot that will make them play Champions League football next season.

Let’s hope they will be able to maintain their good performance. I never expected their performance to be so good, I have been expecting their performance to drop, but as we can see, Nottingham Forest is doing everything possible to maintain their good performance. Let’s just hope their performance doesn’t drop.

The bookies use the results of several matches as a reference for their accurate form in determining the odds. But it's good enough that it will benefit many parties to bet on tottenham victory. Also, Arsenal is playing at home so the bookies are more supportive of Arsenal in this match, But with Tottenham good performance, of course it was a surprise because tottenham still managed to maintain their advantage.

Now if you look at this match, of course if Arsenal loses then they seem to give up on competing closely with Liverpool at the top of the standings. Even though this match is so important for Arsenal and I hope they can improve their style of play and find a gap to score an equalizer. The match has entered the 40th minute, of course there is still time in the first half for arsenal to be able to find opportunities and score goals.
edit / score becomes 2-1. oh my 

[bitgolden]

Manchester City balanced. Chelsea draw. Liverpool draw. Incredible Premier League. Surely many have lost money. LOL

Now we review. Manchester City has 70% win because the score is 0-2. In fact Brentford equated a score of two goals in 10 minutes.
Chelsea won but Bournemouth was able to turn things around to 1-2. Finally the final minute drama made a draw.
How about Liverpool? Describe yourself. Crazy.

It was actually a coincidence yesterday seeing the big teams played draw. Chelsea amongst others played the most dissatisfying game and were very lucky get away with a point. As for Liverpool, they obviously can't win all the games. Nothingham Forest is a very good team and probably the most informed team in the league right now.

If it was a coincidence, it could be assumed that it was planned before the game was played. Is that possible?
If Chelsea drew thanks to James' goal in the 90+5 minute even though they were ahead before Bournemouth turned the score around, I don't see that as something planned because Chelsea have been playing well this season. Unlike Manchester City who have experienced a decline in performance which has made social media homepages busy talking about them and Pep Guardiola.

I salute Nottingham Forest because they were able to surprise Liverpool in the 8th minute. The target of playing in the champions league next season can be maintained.

Definitely a week many people lost money, and yeah I do not think that it was planned type of thing. Plus, remember that people have right to bet on draws as well, so imagine someone betting on all these three games to end in a draw, that would be a huge amount of money paid by bookies as well, and they wouldn't want that.

There is something wrong going on with Liverpool lately, while I agree they have been great all season long, they had a tie against United which nobody expected, then a loss to Spurs, and now a tie against Nottingham Forrest as well, in the middle there was just one game where Liverpool easily defeated Accrington but that was just expected and not really that difficult.

I hope that Liverpool could recover and start winning games, because right now they are looking like they are going to lose some more points and lose the leadership. They had a chance to have such a big deal, and yet they ended up giving that gap chance away thanks to these games. The only benefit Liverpool has right now is that, their opponents got ties as well, so not like it looks bad for them.

What a London derby, two goals in 4mins, Arsenal just went from 0-1 down to 2-1 currently, i like that they didn't back down after conceding they fought as a team and have scored 2 goals in a short interval, that's the team spirit my club Chelsea needs, after conceding the first goal they didn't really show any ággresion towards a goal and it cause us another goal from Bournemouth, well i know what our problem is, we're lacking a good finisher and i wonder why Todd is not working hard enough to get one currently.

 Anyways I'm really enjoying the derby match between Arsenal and Tottenham it's quite an interesting 1st half and Arsenal are leading currently due to the goals from Gabriel and Trossard, from the look of thing it seems Arsenal are going to win this match, i don't know if Tottenham has a big surprise in the 2nd half but I'll just relax and wait for it to kick start.

Currently, it is half-time, and Arsenal have added another goal to make it 2-1. The goal was scored by Trossard. At the moment, I can't predict what will happen at the end of the match. Despite Arsenal leading by one goal and maintaining control of ball possession, the truth is that both teams are putting in significant effort. It seems that Tottenham are trying to play Arsenal with counterattack.

But Still, I have confidence that Tottenham will not beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. However, they might be lucky to draw with Arsenal if they put in more effort. Currently, Arsenal are not applying much pressure, but maybe in the second half, they will step up their game, add another goal, or defend their lead. Let’s just see what will happen in the second half.

It is already end of the first half an Arsenal is leading with 2-1 from behind, honestly the both teams are struggling with injuries crisis but however Arsenal still stand to be the favorite team to win perhaps it is our home ground, and will not allow such honor be taken by Tottenham, when i saw the odds my conclusion was both teams to score and over 2.5 goals which has already been achieved in the first half of the game, surely is an expected hot match for both teams, it is competitive and may likely end in a draw game full time, I really miss the present of Saka in the Arsenal sguard.

Arsenal are the king of north London. No matter how weak Arsenal might seems to be right now, I can still beat my chest to confirm that Arsenal are going to beat Tottenham Hotspur comfortable tonight. Tottenham are only noise makers thinking that they are rivals to Arsenal in North London, whereas Arsenal don't even see them as a threat. Even if Arsenal succeeds in shifting Nottingham forest from the second position tonight, Nottingham forest will still rise back to the second position. It will only take the next few games ahead to achieve that. I believe that Arsenal will lose more points in the coming weeks more than Nottingham forest will ever do. Don't even be tempted with Tottenham 7.80 odds. That odd won't play. Tottenham Hotspur are not in better form than Arsenal, so I don't even see them having any chance of winning.

Are you an Arsenal fan? but if i were you i wouldn't swear on any team currently up there, Arsenal has never been successive with their wins and even with the low odds behind Tottenham they still can end up losing or sharing points, it is not about being being big in London, the result of each games are drawn at the end of the game and how much input created by players directly on the pitch determines the outcome.

Don't get your hopes up, Tottenham are also no small team when it comes to games like  this, despite the risk of claiming Arsenal or Tottenham for direct win, literally a Draw or GG can play well.

It is unfortunate that Tottenham Hotspur players began to lose their consistency when the first half was almost over, where Arsenal was able to score two goals in the 40th minute through an own goal from one of Spurs players and right in the 44th minute Arsenal through a goal scored by Trossard turned things around, where Arsenal was able to lead by one goal over Spurs.

However, even so, the match is still ongoing and has now entered the 69th minute, so anything can still happen. With Arsenal's dominance of the game and attacks, if they are able to maintain this until the end of the match, it is very likely that Arsenal will not only be able to maintain their lead, but Arsenal can also increase their lead.

Nottingham Forest is good and we also feel our struggle will not be as easy as we predict at the beginning.
We are waiting for the results of Arsenal. If Arsenal wins, then we will get closer to Arsenal. This means that Liverpool have warned these two teams to target the 20th trophy.

Nottingham Forest has done a great job by getting a draw against the strongest team in EPL this season (Liverpool). It wasn't easy match because Liverpool very dominated the match. But Nottingham Forest has strong defense line, they still could steal a point from Liverpool. I'm sure no one who think Nottingham Forest can steal point from Liverpool.  

The match Arsenal vs Tottenham is almost over. Arsenal is leading with 2 goals, Arsenal returns to the 2nd place. Arsenal collects 43 points, the point gap with Liverpool is still 4 points. I think it is not really close, it won't be easy to shorten the point gap because Arsenal will have some big matches in the near future (against Aston Villa and Man City).

If Nottingham Forest was successful this season as you said, I would pat them to them for the success they had been waiting for.

How do you define the success of Nottingham Forest? Win EPL trophy, finish in the top 3, or join UCL next season? I personally think that this team has been successful this season. In the last season, they were in the 17th place (almost in the relegation zone). It is surprised to see them in the top 3 EPL standings. If they keep playing consistently, I'm sure they probably finish in the top 5 at least.

Solanke helps Arsenal make good of the odds, after Son had given them a head start, he found away to get his goal even on the wrong side to even things up. It didn’t take long before Arsenal doubled it with the Odegaard and Trossard duo.concluded the game with an over 2.5 first half and held on till the end of the final whistle. It was a good one for Arsenal and these was one of the games they needed to maximize points from. Too bad for Solanke, not how he would have liked to continue in this quarter of the season. Searched for redemption but, couldn’t find the opening.

In a severals of games Arsenal play drew game and also lose for some teams, but right from the begin their match against Tottenham I have full hope for them that they can fine the match wey easily to win with the way I saw their performances when the match kicked off, a lot of people’s where make in mouth that Arsenal can go anywhere base on how they saw their performances in previous matches.

But this today match against Tottenham they play a wonderful game that’s why their able to bring out a unexpected outcome, because when the Tottenham was leading them by 1-0 some of the Arsenal fans begin accusing them wrong that they done allowed a weak team defeat them they where unaware that Arsenal have their personal plan to dominate the match.

Searched for redemption but, couldn’t find the opening.

At the end of the final whistle I could see the excitement on the face of Mikel Arteta, he was charging and shouting for joy towards the crowd because he has been longing for such victory. Judging from where they are coming from I think it was a good win for them but Tottenham give them serious battle that i must give it to Tottenham because at some point i actually thought the game will end up 1-1,  so Anybody that had predicted 2.5 would go home smiling.

[ingiltere]

Between 25th and 40th minute, anyone bet on Arsenal to win? The odds should be very good. Arsenal made a nice comeback and won the derby. Trossard did the important job and scored this time. Arsenal are doing well, they won in a week when their rivals drew and moved up to 2nd place. Tottenham are having a very bad season. After 21 games their number of defeats has exceeded their number of wins and draws. Postecoglou looks like he could be sacked at any moment. Many fans are reacting against him on social media.

[BIT-BENDER]

Great football today I don't know about other but this was a very straight forward match day and the teams that were meant to win won. Aston Villa beat Everton today, a good football watcher would have expected that but I had a little skeptism because Everton just got a new coach, crystal palace beat Leicester this was expected because Leicester are not playing well right now and crystal palace are in form, Newcastle United best wolves this right here was the most straightforward and then Arsenal beating Tottenham in the north London derby ends the night.

I thought in this match Tottenham would be able to end their bad streak by winning but in fact the bad situation haunted them again because Arsenal was able to make a comeback and lock in 3 points. The own goal boosted Arsenal's fighting spirit in turning things around, of course a great job done by Arsenal players in this match. Son has proven his quality and he deserves praise but unfortunately the final result was so disappointing.

4 points are certainly not too much anymore, but there is still one chance for Liverpool because they have only played 20 matches while Arsenal has 21 matches. Liverpool have recorded 2 matches with a draw, of course they must be able to improve their performance in order to widen the gap in points by winning again. Arsenal performed well as well as Nottingham Forest who are increasingly showing their best strength.
