Chelsea winning by 2 goals is a great start for the Premier League after the International break.
Hopefully this will have the other top teams to do the same as there are still Liverpool and Manchester City left to play for today. So they should match the blues performance on the pitch too.
That is if their players can stay healthy through out the match and not get injured.

Club wins matches at times depending on the club they are playing with, Burnley is not is in a good form this season so chelsea are suppose to win them as they were favorite too. Man city can win their match against Newcastle but Liverpool is not consistent this season so i don't trust them they can either win or loss but am not on guarantee for Liverpool to win Nottingham Forest this club sometimes don't know big club.

[Woodie]

What's happening at Anfield , I know before the international break Liverpool wasn't in good form but for Nottingham Forest to bully the Reds on their own home turf is unacceptable! Already second goal was disallowed and if this goes on this will be a bad weekend for the team and supporters who will now question what the manager is doing... Come on Liverpool turn this script now!!

[Adbitco]

Liverpool 0 Vs Nottingham Forest 1
First corner for Nottingham Forest in the game and it resulted in a goal for them and this came in the 30+ minutes. It wasn't even long enough Nottingham Forest scored again through I. Jesus but it didn't count since the ball came of his hands before he struck it into the net. Liverpool is in another problem again as they trail a team that's also not in form. Seems like Nottingham Forest will be using Liverpool to count 3 points today. Well let's just wait, it's a matter of time for anything to happen.

[Callido]

The score increased in the 88th minute, Chelsea added points to 2-0, this match was quite exciting, Enzo Fernandes added another goal, now positively won and they will get 3 full points this week with an extraordinary achievement I think, Chelsea has hope to return to a more competitive position, they now have 23 points, just waiting for the results of the Manchester city match, if City loses then Chelsea is officially in second place in the standings this week.

Yes Chelsea sealed their faith in the 88th minute, they shouldn't have struggled with Burnley in the first place, but the ending was good. Great goal from Enzo but i appreciate the efforts for the players that contributed to the goal, they did all the impressive job only for him to do the finish which was done in perfection.

Manchester has to lose before Chelsea remains second place in the standing, a draw with Newcastle still leaves them second.

Still can't believe that this is happening, I assumed that their first game after the break would be an easy win for them. It is now obvious that there would be mo recovery for Liverpool this season they down bad for not being able to hold off Nottingham Forest in the first half. The goal from Nottingham was unexpected because they are also struggling, I thought they wouldn't be able to score against Liverpool today. My prediction for this game was Liverpool to win or draw and under 4.5 goals but I don't think that's going to happen today

[Salahmu]

The close total goals of this match is predictable after they started because Burnley was playing backward and Kyle Walker and his defense didn't want to see Chelsea doing there canter attack, that is why Chelsea will be in possession on normal corners of the pitch but doesn't hold it long on the presence of Burnley defenders, but Chelsea navigation was good and the match was completed in 2:0. Do to how I like there table I had to see were there winning has moved them to and I saw Chelsea is the second but at the end of today they might not be the second but the third because Manchester City is going to be there.

Chelsea did well against Burnley at least without Caicedo, Audrey Santos made sure we didn't miss Caicedo and I'm happy about that. Initially I was not happy with the changes that saw J.Pedro off but Gusto find up for that position nicely. Guiu is good for mounting pressure on defense, he's strong and determined and it payed off with an assist to E. Fernandez. I love the fact that Chelsea sits on the second position even though it's temporary as we await the outcome of the match between Newcastle United and Manchester City. I predict Manchester City to win that match, but we'll surely allow 90 minutes to decide that.

Substitute was not too necessary today for Chelsea because there is nothing so eager for it so they substituted only three players, Joao Pedro was among but it did not cause for panicking because fans will object his substitute as they will think he will score but you have seen that his substitute was a good thing. Nottingham Forest is playing the way Liverpool should have played, is been series of attempt from Nottingham Forest and they are 1:0 winning Liverpool, this winning could give Nottingham forest the hope that they will not go to relegation anymore.

They're 1 goal down now and it's pretty bad if Liverpool can't make a comeback because either way for now I think it's building momentum but looking at the timing of things I think it's still a little bit calm for now even though the first half they were behind.

There is still 45 minutes of the second half and this must be maximized by Slot if he does not want to receive criticism again, 1 goal behind by a club in pain like Nottingham is definitely a mistake that should be avoided but their chance for 3 points in this match I think is still very large just how they apply a good scheme in the second half.
If there is an option I prefer to play Isak as a wing on the right and Ekitike is inserted into CF for now but we will see if in the end Slot has his own thoughts to change this result in the second half later.

[RockBell]

It seems that Chelsea is going to have more goals to their name. Burnley defence did their best but there was only 1 man throttling at the front. Chelsea clearly dominated the match as expected and if Burnley has refused to be clinical this second half, Chelsea is going to get more goals of of them as expected.

And your prediction of Chelsea adding more goals came to pass, I know that Burnley will be scared and they will want to focus on defense and it won't favour them that is what happend, Chelsea played them as if they are playing a small club, and congratulations that Chelsea won the game and I know that Chelsea fans are going to happy, and both the first half and the second half they could not score. And this is what was predicted to happen because Chelsea won't give them a breathing space.

Walker dis some wonderful defending in this first half, if not so, Chelsea would have had more goals to their name in the first half.
Now this winning if sustained is going to boost the confidence of Chelsea into the champions league this midweek m

Walker did a good defending, they used the same position but got different result and the moment Chelsea scored there first goal before second half I knew thay Burnley can not win this game again. Because Chelsea will not want to take chances, and they might get encouraged but that does not guarantee that they will there next in the Champions League because you can only assume when it comes to football. And this like this are things that Chelsea are always portray and before you know they start failing.

With the way the first 45 minutes of the game spanned out I don’t think Liverpool is capable of coming behind and win this game. They absolutely do not have that connection in their from three attackers such as Gakpo, Salah and Isak. I think Arne slot will have to talk to his boys in the dressing room right now as they prepare to go for the second half because they don’t seem to have that rhythm to break the Nottingham defense. If the game continues like this I think Nottingham will end up even scoring another goal in the second half.

[Gentle_Soul]

This is my likely parlay for today. Total odds: 3.74

It is a very easy game for Chelsea on paper. Burnley have been horrible in defense and offense both. They can't play well against big teams (for example the Arsenal game  ). It should be easy for Chelsea to dominate and win.

I expect a solid return by Liverpool after the break. I don't think Sean Dyche could resist them well at Anfield. I even thought of a win with a handicap but I changed it to a safer choice after.

Palmer is not back but Chelsea is going to win Burnley, West Ham United was also having some who were not on the match because of non recovery but they win Burnley so the weekend point is for Chelsea. Manchester City recently win Liverpool but Nottingham Forest will not get draw but the goals Liverpool is going to score them. Is it because you don't no about Manchester City and Newcastle United I'm not seeing them on your already staked?, because when I saw your games and were the ones we believe will loss is, I thought everybody will like to use Manchester city since Newcastle United is on the poor form with those clubs so what do you think might be for Manchester City this weekend?.

I don't know why I was so confident about Chelsea winning with or without palmar but I guess because it was my team but however but I know Chelsea was going to win at the end of the day.
My eyes was not really on Pedro to score the first goal but thank goodness he did that quite in time scoring just around the 37th minute it was really a foundation for the Chelsea win

Yes, it's half-time, the score is still 0-1, and the bookies are pricing Liverpool's chances at 2.56, well under 50%. It's weird in a home game against a team from the relegation zone, right? On the one hand, I want to place a bet (statistically, Liverpool are doing well) but everything looks strange and I'm not sure the risk is justified. I won't even be surprised if Liverpool don't win today.

[FanEagle]

Losing Cole Palmer is of course going to hurt them, it is not going to be easy to win games when your best player is not playing, and that is not going to be easy to handle at all.

We know that he is a great young player who helps the team do a great job, but aside from that I am not entirely sure if we are going to see them do a fine job without him. He is the one that dictates the offense, he makes everyone around him better, so without him everyone will be a little worse, it is not just about him being gone, it's about everyone else being not as great without him. When a player is individually great, like Mbappe, PSG could still win without him, but when Palmer is missing, he makes everyone around him also missing.

[JariKriting]

Liverpool is still showing a terrible performance, playing at their own home ground Anfield, trailing 2-0 against the relegation zone bottom team Nottingham Forest with 2 goals from Callum Wilson. The results continue to be a joke, and Arne Slot is asking for a sky-high salary increase; truly a coach who causes trouble, not getting fired is already very fortunate, yet he asks for a fantastic raise. Liverpool fans and management are too patient in responding to the poor results from Arne Slot.

Now the conditions are even more difficult for Loverpool as they need to score more than 2 goals for victory in this match.

I think now it seems like it's time to change the management plan because now there must be a real change for Liverpool because no matter what the current situation is (especially if this match is lost) then it is clearly getting worse.

It seems that looking for a new coach in the middle of the season will become a reality if conditions continue like this then indeed they will not only lose their position for the trophy race but also they could lose the top 4 position.
Currently, their momentum is bad enough because the series of defeats they received is far more than everyone expected.

The score was already 0-2, which was truly bizarre and detrimental to the bettors, as they had predicted a Liverpool win. Nottingham Forest had humiliated Liverpool at Anfield, and Liverpool fans were understandably disappointed. It was difficult to turn the game around, as Nottingham Forest played very cautiously, especially with a very tight defense. Nottingham Forest were already leading 0-2 and would be looking to secure their lead. Honestly, I was very disappointed with this result, and even though Liverpool equalized, the result was still disappointing.

Liverpool couldn't score any goal with a 1.46 xG while Forest scored 2 goals with 0.81 xG so far.    They are unlucky maybe but I can't say this is just because of luck.

They just struggle a lot about finding the target. I was expecting to see a different team after the international break. But I was totally wrong obviously.

What now for Arne Slot in case of losing today too? I wonder how long it will take him to recover. He might even get an early sack maybe who knows.

Liverpool are a horrible team to watch, losing 2 vs 0 to Nottingham Forest at home is a very horrible game, I can’t just believe what my eyes is watching here, this isn’t the Liverpool team that was playing last season, the whole players aren’t playing well most especially the Defenders, I’m still questioning Van Dijk leadership in this team, the defense seems to be a shambles, you have to be scared when an opposition team is attacking this Liverpool defense it seems very shaky and they look stagnant with the way they are playing, it’s a shame now with the amount of money that was invested in the summer, and the manager needs to start answering some serious questions.

When Ekitike came on to replace Konate, I saw that Liverpool needed a goal, but leaving van Dijk as center back was also difficult because van Dijk was starting to struggle to deal with the opposition's attacks.
Anfield is now hoping that there will be a goal in the next twenty minutes so that they don't suffer a defeat.
Just one goal is enough to turn things around and give them a chance to equalize.

Isak has been substituted. He hasn't been in his best form as a striker yet.
Just one goal to change the scenario at Anfield.

I don't understand, I never expected this scores.

Perhaps that was the reason why a few people like me were skeptical about this particular fixture, Liverpool's form before the international break wasn't really good thereby prompting a lot of criticism about their recent decline at the moment, now if Liverpool's form continues to decline further then am afraid the coach:s job might be at stake because it seems Arne slot has not being able to lead this team this season despite having a great squad at his disposal.

currently the score is 0-3 and I know that this score shouldn't be a surprise to Liverpool fans. Liverpool performance is going bad as time passes by. The funny thing is they even playing at arnfield . It is not possible for Liverpool to equalise this match , there current form is not something that anyone will be expecting to even equalise the match. I think there maybe more goals coming from Nottingham forest.
