It actually doesn't matter for Semenyo whether he plays a big game or not. He is able to score in any kind of game. However he couldn't do so against Manchester City. But this still doesn't change the fact he is having a superb season...

What do you say about today's game? Do you expect Sunderland to beat Everton? And even a clean sheet maybe? I see the first one possible but I'm not sure about the latter. Everton couldn't score in their last 2 games in the league by the way.

In the match against Man City, in ninety minutes Semenyo only managed to take two shots, and none of them managed to penetrate Man City's goal, which was tightly guarded by Donnaruma. However, as you mentioned, he has performed well this season with six goals and three assists, which is better than last season. Meanwhile, regarding Sunderland, the team coached by Legi Le Bris has shown an extraordinary performance. As a promoted team, Sunderland not only plans to survive in the English Premier League but also continues to strive to compete at the top of the standings. And with just hours to go, the match between Sunderland and Everton is about to begin. My choice, of course, is Sunderland, especially since they are playing at home. They are sure to secure three points in this match.

Sunderland's performance is good again, even when playing away at Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge. Sunderland managed to beat Chelsea 2-1. And this time, Sunderland is playing at their home ground, the Stadium of Light, against the weak bottom-table team Everton, so they are predicted to win the match. Although Sunderland's performance at the beginning of this season was also surprising, as the promoted team managed to shoot up to the top.

Leeds United and Wolves are two clubs that will not escape relegation no matter what they do to evade it. They are one of the worse sides currently and have lost almost all the games they have played. A bit of hope for Burnley and Sunderland who are working hard. Brighton won fine after they looked like one to lose. West Ham United fans are not happy after getting their first ever win in a very long time. Arsenal should not just dominate but make plans to win the league. They have toiled hard for it.

Leeds United get better position standings than Wolves and not believing how come still not winning one single match yet after playing 10 matches, collected two points after playing 2 draw and Wolves likely most favorite team will relegate for next season in premier league. Good week for West Ham United fans after their team poorly performance in this week get victory against Newcastle United, is second winning match for West Ham United although can out from relegation zone with 7 points.

All top teams this week get three points except Manchester United holding draw by Nottm Forest, will next week all the relegation standing teams get three points or still can't moving from bottom position.

Hmm wolves relegating is very complicating like for the first time in a long time, so what could really be the problem should we say it's because of the play Manchester United bought from them? I'm quite amazed by Sunderland's performance like they're really playing out of the expectation of Manny, and for Arsenal hmm it's quite complicated too I can only believe Arsenal won the league right after the final match of the season else I still don't believe they can win this league, because this is not the first time they're being this serious on the league, tho there are not much pressure on them as they are in the best of their form.

Sunderland maybe good yea but the reason that they defeated Chelsea doesn't mean they are that good and secondly Chelsea can not be compared with arsenal currently because Arsenal is the hottest in premier league, there are matches I was thinking Arsenal won't be able to emerge victorious but I was surprised and shocked with the kind of goal margin. And I think it is about time those teams that was occupying the top spots will go down because the game has started changing gradually.

This should be a win for Sunderland, given Everton's recent poor form, particularly their weak defense. With high spirits and home advantage, I believe Sunderland can exploit Everton's defensive weaknesses and secure a win, perhaps by a narrow margin. Given their dangerous attack, which will trouble the Everton defense, the home team will likely dominate proceedings.

Liverpool is back in the game. Finally, they broke their losing streak and earned an important win over Aston Villa at home (2-0). They are 7 points behind Arsenal, which is a hard to close gap, but at least they gave their fans some temporary hope.
Arsenal had absolutely no trouble defeating weak Burnley in an away game. They dominated the game, scored early and added another one before the end of the first half. Burnley were not able to threaten Arsenal's goal with 4 shots (1 on target).
But the most exciting game of the round was between Man City and Bournemouth. Bournemouth have been doing surprisingly well this season, so the result was not certain at all. Man City did rise up to the challenge though, and they grabbed a 3-1 win, after 2 goals by Haaland and one by O'Reilly. This currently puts the Citizens in the 2nd spot. But this might change as we have one outstanding game to be played tonight. If Sunderland bets Everton, they would jump into 2nd place with 20 points, so 5 less than Arsenal.
Strangely enough, despite playing at home, Sunderland are not the favourite in tonight's game and bookies give a slight advantage to Everton.

This win was very important for Liverpool, if Liverpool had lost against Aston Villa, they would have had a record of losing five consecutive matches, but they must be thankful for their comeback. Liverpool is not in a good position in the English Premier League, they are now in third position in the table due to losing several matches in a row, being in third position was not a problem for them, but they have already created a big gap of points with Arsenal, this is a problem for them and even if they perform well later, it will be very difficult for Liverpool to reduce this gap of points.

However, Liverpool must forget what happened in the past and focus completely on the present. If Liverpool can still win in the upcoming matches, then they will also have a good chance of winning the Premier League title.

[Iroh]

Being consistent until the end of the season will once again be a challenge for Arsenal. Now the points gap is not far, but it's good for Arsenal to be able to lead and continue to maintain that points gap. Anyway, Man City and Liverpool have had some unsatisfactory results. But Arsenal can handle that and be quite consistent. We don't know what the situation will be like at the end of the season. Many factors can affect the team's performance and cause it to decline.

The point gap isn't really much from second place Manchester city. They've got to be consistent in their performance if they want to keep the top spot in the league. They've had the title slip out of their grasp for far too long. Can they learn from their past mistakes and go on and take the league title this season? With their present squad and form, they seem very capable of doing just that.
A lot of things can actually go wrong for Arsenal before the end of the season that could make them fall from the top but I think Arsenal must have taken cues from the past seasons.
They need more wins to increase the gap between them and Manchester city or whoever will be second place later in the season.

I accord that Antoine Semenyo is having a good season so far with 6 goals & 3 assists in 10 premier league appearances so far.

But I wont back Everton  for a clean sheet for their match against Sunderland,
i could see Everton have only kept a clean sheet about 22 % of the time so far this season.

So yes, Seminyo can score his next game, and Sunderland may win today, but backing against Everton conceding seems a hazardous play in my opinion !

35 minutes ongoing and the current score: Sunderland 0 - 1 Everton

As of now they are currently losing their fixture against Everton and they are playing at home, although the game is just first half let's see what the second half will bring, probably they will just draw the game or end up losing the match because Everton themselves are in very good form and they are ready to hold up this advantage and probably even score more. Sunderland no doubt have really surprised me though seeing how they are up there in the table but we never can tell if they can actually really maintain this performance at all.

Brighton hosted Leeds. It wasn't a particularly difficult match for Brighton, who won comfortably at home. Both teams took plenty of shots, but it was the home side who were more effective in front of goal.
Burnley couldn't do anything against a strong Arsenal. Arsenal dominated their opponents away from home and secured a comfortable victory. Arsenal, who defeated their opponents with goals from Gyökeres and Rice in the first half, continues to maintain its lead.

Brighton & Hove Albion football team  gave great effort against Leeds United football team as that team did 3 goals in this match and opponent team did no goal in this match. Gómez was a person who did 2 goals in this match and he gave back to back goals in this match and he did his first goal at 64 minutes of the match and  applied pressure on the opponent team. After a gap of 6 minutes, we saw goal in this match and he did goal at 70 minutes of the match and made match one sided. Welbeck role was also Crutial in this match because he gave good start to his team and did goal at 11 minutes of the match. That was was very strong in this match and they won this match in the end .

Everton being at the weak buttom of the table and Sunderland in the top four, then also playing the match from the home of Sunderland, this is a big show of sign that Sunderland are in a better position for the victory in this match. Sunderland have been playing quite a good game since they returned from relegation and their position on the table truly shows how good their performance is this season and what they’ve been able to achieve with it. If this match was with another top teams, I would have doubted Sunderland’s ability to win this match but since it’s Everton whose form hasn’t been that great, Sunderland has a better chance of victory in this match.

Semenyo discussed in a Sunderland game or team? I think you might be heavily mistaken because Semenyo is a Bournemouth player and not that of Sunderland maybe you missed it up because his is not in this current game between Everton as his team lost yesterday to Manchester City. Regardless Semenyo has been one of the brightest players in the league this season but I think this shouldn’t have any surprise for anyone that actually saw him play last season. He was showing glimpse of a player with flair last season that had Bournemouth splash a whopping 70 million on him, I think if he continues with this his form he might actually be making his club that amount of money next summer.

Everton are winning against Sunderland who have been seriously excellent this season beyond many odds, in fact in this game I actually predicted a win or draw for them and regardless of this result so far I still think my prediction can still play out because Sunderland are usually great in the second half of the game

[red4slash]

In other matches Arsenal and Manchester United are currently leading and this is indeed a natural outcome given the circumstances they must navigate.

Manchester United is immediately in second place in the standings due to their temporary win against Nottingham Forest.
For Manchester United fans, they are really looking forward to it being able to last for weeks after every match Manchester United plays.

Casemiro's goal was a bit of a controversy. Not the goal, but the goal process which started from Bruno Fernandes' corner kick.
The aggressive play of Manchester United players during the first 45 minutes gave a signal of positive changes that would continue. But we don't know in the 45 minutes of the second half.

It seems that for now Manchester United cannot be praised excessively because they have just enjoyed a good moment especially after the victory in the big match and when against Brighton at this time they are back to stumbling with results that are not too satisfying.

Casemiro opened the opportunity with 1 goal but they missed 2 goals from Nottingham Forrest which made them have to struggle in the second half to equalize the score.
With the draw that occurred for this week's match, their situation is still a little better, it's just that it can't be denied that this situation is clearly a little disturbing, although not overall, but still the performance is still not entirely said to be stable.

Everton was beyond Burnley before their match again Sunderland and I am surprised that Sunderland couldn't protect their home. All my expectations about them has crush in their home. That means they have been about hype and luck. if it has always been about their performance in the Premier League so far. Minor teams shouldn't be their problem to defeat but couldn't beat Everton properly like I do want that is still below them, I'm highly disappointed in the their performance.

Like this, I think they are good players. I want to  see thwm  put fear in the houses with the rest of the teams. Imagine that the same guys beat Chelsea, they have won Manchester United. Even as things standout now, I'm sure that some teams are going to be afraid about them. It's good and it doesn't create a monopolistic league title where everything belongs to one team all the time, we need to strike a balance in the league so it can be fair to everyone.

Although in terms of current performance Sunderland is better but looking at the capacity and strength of the players, this match is actually balanced for me but there is indeed a better mentality and home advantage that Sunderland can take advantage of in this match.

Everton opened the scoring first but it looks like Sunderland are still trying to make this match 3 points as Xhaka made the equalizer score.

Now the second half is running and so far Sunderland are still a little in control but indeed Everton are also still with their equipment so I think if possible the score 2-1 could be the final score in this week's match but it is possible that there are some things that happen that can make the flow change in this match.

I hope the host wins and shifts Manchester City's position, but Everton put up a pretty tough, and give us a surprise to scoring early. So far, their styling is still good even as a promotion club, Sunderland provides plenty of space for players to improve their position, that scheme makes a club that has long been struggling in Premier League didn't expect they to implement an unconventional strategy. But usually, it won't be long, their position could be immediately shifted by the big club who have experience on top standing. This situation always happen on the end of session. let's just wait and see.

Everton stood up and didn't let Sunderland take them down, they scored first but couldn't hold on to the early goal at they themselves conceded one just almost immediately after the restart. A win for Sunderland would have catapulted them back to second position ahead of Manchester City who went second after winning their game on Sunday against Bournemouth. Manchester City wil be like, Everton thanks to you.

In terms of club reputation, Chelsea is indeed more popular than Sunderland. I say that because Sunderland has experienced relegation, while Chelsea hasn't experienced that in the last 20 years.
In the Premier League this time, Sunderland is currently in fourth place, slightly further behind Chelsea, who are below them.
So, we can't yet predict which team will emerge victorious in this year's Premier League competition. Although Arsenal is still the hottest team this season, this could be just the beginning, and that has happened repeatedly in previous seasons.

[KTChampions]

There are even more intriguing games at this weekend in my opinion. Let's have a look at them:

Tottenham - Manchester United
Manchester City - Liverpool
Sunderland - Arsenal (If Sunderland beat Everton today  )

Man the first two are really great though. Interesting thing is that Manchester United couldn't beat Tottenham in the league for 3 years. And it is 4 years when it comes to away games.

Manchester City also couldn't win against Liverpool for 2 years. Predicting the outcome is really difficult for both games now. I will wait until the European games finish during the week.

I'm not at all sure that even if Sunderland had won, their game against Arsenal would have carried more weight. We all know that by the middle or end of the season, Sunderland, Bournemouth, etc. will fall out of the top group. The other two games are really important: the Tottenham-United game will once again determine who the real losers are, and the City-Liverpool game will determine who is worthy of fighting Arsenal for the title.

Manchester United didn't have the chance to beat Tottenham during the Europa league finals last year. Thus is definitely a payback time for them. Ruben Amorim still demands players during the January transfer window to repair his midfield.
Liverpool are not really what they use to be, this is either the time to crush them completely or see them thrive again. Manchester City will make sure that they do a proper damange on Liverpool.  Arsenal's chance of extending the lead further. Mikel Arteta will want that.
