Of course I blame Salah too for what happened to him even though I know that the team didn't respect him for all he has done for them. He wasn't really supposed to still be at the club till this day but he went on and overstayed his welcome. This is what happens when you are getting old and still want top flight football you won't be able to cope with the intensity anymore it happened to Ronaldo too and Messi as well so in times like this you just have to let it go and join other leagues. My advice is that he leaves at the end of this season to avoid further embarrassments.

He has made a very big mistake in his career and I hope he would amend that as soon as possible looking for a better club that will accept him without pondering about what he had gone through in Liverpool. A big opportunity was presented to him but in the name of standing and playing for Liverpool years, he was disrespected and seen as the problem of the club. No single respect for him again after all trophies he had won for the club.

Moving to another club is the right solution for Salah. He shouldn't stay any longer, lest his beautiful story at Liverpool be tarnished by the current situation. It's a tough move, but perhaps it's the only way to fix everything. A club is truly a family, but there are times when it has to step out of its comfort zone. If Salah still maintains his ego, I just don't want Liverpool to disappoint him.
It's better to part ways amicably.

Chelsea vs Newcastle is my most favorite game to come. Opta predicted Newcastle have greater chance to win, but i don't think so. Honestly, Newcastle has always been better in term of physicality compared to the Chelsea, but not for the tactical gameplan.

So yeah the last time Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0, but i believe this time is different. Palmer is back, and all of their defenders are fit. Chelsea can repeat the story when they beat Newcastle last season. My guess for the bet is that BTTS(1.57) must be the best option. I don't think we will see a team being goalless in this game considering both clubs played with their best squad.

Here is a parlay I'm thinking about for the weekend...

Total odds: 3.70

The safest BTTS choice in here seems like Tottenham - Liverpool. I think this will another one of those lovely games between. I think Liverpool could win too but still can't trust them on it fully.

And I assume it is time for Bournemouth to win finally after so many weeks. I loved their effort against Manchester United. They really want to fix things. The Burnley game is a good opportunity for that.

All options picked are valid, I'm honestly worried about Tottenham Hotspur if they can play that both team score against Liverpool. They have not been their best since this manager took over but he will sure make the changes like we saw with Brentford United.

Bournemouth been shite after that impressive display against Manchester United, the bookmakers will obviously back them for the win against Burnley. I don't think Semenyo leaving for the AFCON. Newcastle United have gathered more wins at home this season, I will be shocked to see them not winning or drawing at home. Great picks!

[TelolettOm]

The safest BTTS choice in here seems like Tottenham - Liverpool. I think this will another one of those lovely games between. I think Liverpool could win too but still can't trust them on it fully.

In their last match, Liverpool secured a win against Brighton, while Tottenham lost to Nottingham Forest. Although neither side has played their best this season, Liverpool have performed better than Tottenham in their last five matches.

Both sides also still have several injured players, which is a real problem for them, especially Tottenham. However, the good news for Liverpool is that several players are fit from injury, such as Jeremie Frimpong and suspension. However, several players are absent due to injury (Joe Gomez, Gakpo, and others), or are on call for the AFCON, such as Mohamed Salah.

Sunderland been more stable than even some clubs in the league and Sunderland won even against Newcastle and if they can continue they will eventually, become among one of the best clubs, and I love how they are so dedicated and they are trying to keep, and from the look of things they might even have the capability of winning the premier league, because that's is how people that are serious behave not like people like Manchester United that have lost direction and bearing, Sunderland will definitely do well.

When you are playing against them you have to be well prepared so that you don't lose against them because i know se clubs will want to underestimate them.  If anyone shouldake that mistake they will not get exactly what they want because, Sunderland is not a kind of club that you can even pressure, so they should not eventhing of anything funny and they will be playing aginst Brighton which they might win at the end of the day.

Some teams like Sunderland does good on the long run at times and that is understandable, because for one season only you can do good if you have a good fitting team, it's the multi-season situation that makes it hard. Nottingham Forrest was decent last season for example, look at them now and you can see next season for Sunderland as well. Just because a team does "alright" for one season doesn't mean they will keep going. Plus, they are not even doing that great, it's just mediocre.

Among all of the current promotion team i think Sunderland is the best because until week 16 Sunderland can reach to top 10 and one of their important result is won from Newcastle on Tyne-Wear derby that finally since 2016 the fans will watching this derby again in premier league and Sunderland have started it with very well because won from Newcastle but their consistency will be tested for upcoming games because Sunderland will lost some important players to defend their national team at African cup but i am quite confident that Sunderland can reach their target to avoiding relegation zone or staying at premier league

Truth be told I'm very much impressed by Sunderland's performance since the starting of the English premier League 2025/2026 campaign they have been superb with their doings and that is really amazing amongst all the promoted teams they seem to be the most serious, even at a point they where even at the top four they were there for some weeks I think they started dropping points drastically after the defeat from Manchester United, but in as much they still manage to beat Chelsea, and this are some of the criteria that makes the English premier League more interesting than that of the other leagues seeing the underdog teams coming up against the big teams it's really interesting.

When Sunderland got promoted to the premier league, i was thinking they will just fight to remain in the premier league and avoid relegation, but Sunderland has shown that they did not gain promotion to the premier league to avoid relegation but to compete in the premier league and challenge for the title, and at some point this season Sunderland almost got to the top of the premier league standings, but Arsenal was the only team that stopped Sunderland from topping the premier league standings. Sunderland defeating Newcastle United shows that they still have good winning mentality and they can still get back to the top 4.

Last season when Real Madrid had an injury crisis, Sergio Ramos proactively signaled that he was ready to join them as a temporary solution for the club but Real Madid did not pay attention on that offer. Sergio Ramos is very old and his high ego makes big clubs fearful to sign any temporary contract with him. Sergio Ramos is very different than Thiago Silva or Pepe who focus on their contributions for the clubs than satisfy their individual ego and interest.

Manchester United already spent a lot of money for old players from Ibrahimovic to Cavani, Ronaldo, Falcao, and more so they already got enough expensive lessons and less likely are ready to do similar contract with another old player like Ramos. Ruben Amorim also does not want to handle any internal conflicts if Sergio Ramos joins the club.

It was such a stupid mistake last season and it was still a stupid mistake this season. When Real Madrid was having this many injury issues, and they still do, not having Ramos isn't really a help for them, he could have played some minutes and help them when they needed to.

At the very least, United could think of him like someone who could lead the defense in a mentor kind of way, player/coach position basically where he can teach the players to be better at defense. Not saying he will be getting in and playing and showing a difference, although looking at United's defense right now, you and I could make a difference, they are horrible, but if we have to speak for real, Ramos wouldn't personally make the difference, he would elevate others, that's the important part.

Salah had a good season with Liverpool in Arne Slot's first season in Liverpool, and Salah believed he would perform better in Liverpool this season, and it made Salah shut the door for other clubs to sign him when his value was high in the market. Even if Salah has fallen out of favour with Arne Slot, you should not blame Salah for not grabbing the opportunity that was presented to him and leave Liverpool because it will be difficult for any player to leave a club where he is doing well. Salah is still a good player, and he can still get a bomber deal if he wants to leave Liverpool.

This match will maintain Chelsea's strength for us or will they lose 3 points after their win again. You are absolutely right that Chelsea will have to win this match but if we look at the records of both, then both of them have the same performance but Chelsea has won 2 matches recently so in his view this match can be a draw or Chelsea can win. Everyone has their own prediction and theory because everyone thinks from a different theory and gives the right to a team to win. Chelsea has a lot of good fight and strength that although they were better than them in the first matches too. Crystal Palace was strong during this time and this time both of them are performing poorly and if Crystal Palace's balance is broken then maybe I also think the same. If Chelsea wins then it will be a very good effort on their ability so I also hope that Chelsea will have to be very strong on their performance.

Heading to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the 17th match is honestly difficult. Liverpool is in better form than Tottenham, having won their last two matches.
Tottenham can still field Kudus, as he is not absent due to international duty or the AFCON. Meanwhile, Liverpool are without Mohamed Salah, and recently, he has also been frequently omitted from Arne Slot's selections.
Clearly, this is a tough match to make a betting decision on. I hope we win to improve the situation that has been deemed poor so far by capitalizing on the circumstances.

Lucky the one who bet in over goals in the game between Manchester United and Bournemouth but also for sure if anyone puts again a bet on over for the next game of any of this two teams is gonna lose it, Manchester United and Bournemouth are right now super irregular teams, so avoid them at all cost.

I don't like playing Manchester united and Bournemouth in my ticket despite who they are playing against because they can be so annoying some times, the match you will expect them to win or score they will not but the one you won't expect them to score that is the one they will score just like the previous Manchester united game they played against Bournemouth, no one believed they will score this goals, 8 goals in a match I mean that was crazy and unexpected and I will always avoid them in my ticket for my safety even though other teams will cut my ticket I don't care.

The last time Manchester united we are on my bet ticket, I nearly had high blood pressure, ever since then, I told myself I was not going to include Manchester United on any of my ticket for a long time coming, and that is how it has been. Most punters would ordinarily give Manchester united a straight win against Bournemouth considering their recent antecedent, but yet they still drew that game costing punters their money.

I stopped betting on Manchester United a long time ago. I had placed several bets on this team last season, but Manchester United disappointed me the most that season. I don't watch this club much now, but I still try to watch it occasionally, but as long as I watch Manchester United, I wonder why they play the way they do and why their football isn't improving. If you still have faith in Manchester United, you can continue betting, but I think you will also be disappointed with their performance and regular defeats at some point and you will also stop betting on them.

This is going to be a very interesting match, but I think Newcastle has got a little edge, because they are playing at home. Newcastle United has been very good at home this season and I think they will want to win this match. I also agree that both teams will score in the match, but I will tilt towards Newcastle to win the match, Chelsea has not been the best team away from home and facing a physical team like Newcastle will definitely be a big test for them, but I really don't see them winning the match even with Cole Palmer back in the team.

[Volgastallion]

Newcastle in home is gonna win against Chelsea, Newcaslte now how to playa gainst this big teams in his home, i know they are not gonna have Dan Burn which is a starter and brings a lot in defense and with his height but Chelsea is not playing good right now, with all this i see Newcastle winning.

In the other good game between Aston Villa and Manchester United i see Villa winning against United.

Sunderland defeating Newcastle United shows that they still have good winning mentality and they can still get back to the top 4.

Sunderland performance was really amazing considering the fact that they were promoted from league 1. When they played against Nottingham forest that was when I actually noticed that they came prepared. They have won some of the major team in premier League so winning Newcastle to me isn't a surprise if they should continue with this phase they may end up among the top four team in premier League this season.

Don't write like Chelsea is vulnerable to New Castle because it is not a team that easily fall for expected coincidence. Chelsea is going to play to their best and you can not assume that New Castle is big enough to defeat Chelsea whether home or away.
We don't know why the outcome of the match will be and you don't have to assume a win for New Castle yet when the match has not even started. 20 hours from now, the match is going to start.

[Promocodeudo]

Even though Sunderland is not going to reach fourth position again in this premier League table they have proven to people that before they will be spending some seasons like Chelsea and Manchester United in this premier League tournament they will become among the strongest team, Sunderland have talented squads and experience coach, which is the major backbone in Sunderland performance because they have defeated Chelsea and some other teams to achieve points that make them to top some teams that joined this premier League tournament for long, the reason why Sunderland players are displaying more than other new teams is because they have talented coach that is training them how to use different strategies to play their opponents.

Sunderland has already tried very well, but you should also know that this is not the first time Sunderland as team is coming the English premier.
Sunderland defeated chelsea this season and some other teams too which you pointed out and to me that a good way of proving to the existing teams in the English premier League that they came prepared this season, I can't say the position they will end this season with, but we are very sure that the will not be going back to where they are coming from atleast they have achieved that, although the season is not over, am looking forward to see what they got in the returning legs.

When such argument pop up, it is good to do small research to know their previous games. Newcastle is a good team in the season and they have won Chelsea in this season but this coming match I don't think Newcastle United will win Chelsea. As I checked their previous games, from last year to this year, Newcastle united has played well against Chelsea and if Chelsea must win this game, they should not overlook Newcastle United but strive higher to defeat them.


These are some of the previous matches of them.

Have you read the news?

It is said that Guardiola is highly likely to leave Manchester City next summer even though his contract expires on June 30, 2027. It will be 10 years of time he has managed this team then. What a long journey right? 

In case of parting ways, their number one candidate to replace him is Enzo Maresca they say. He is already doing really well with Chelsea despite not having an amazing squad. I think he can be much more successful at Manchester City.

I prefer betting on the most consistent teams in any league to avoid ruining my day and to improve my chances of winning.The chances of winning when betting on consistent teams are less risky compare to when you bet on inconsistent team. The only good thing about betting on inconsistent teams is that they have bigger Odds. Since consistent teams oftentimes have low odds,I often make random selections on both consistent & inconsistent teams all through different leagues with suitable betting options that will boost my odds and increase my chances of winning.

Normally, putting your money in where you have assurance of getting them back with profit, is always the wise decision someone could make, there is no way someone who know betting on a certain team is too risk and there is high possibility of loosing that money will bet on the club, they rather bet on a team that is consistent and sure if winning the match.

But sometimes the consistent team, failed gamblers, due luck and some other reasons, because there is some inconsistent team that you will underrate and later see them in a wining side against some top players. Lastly, gambling is all about luck, nothing more.

This is the same Chelsea with the same level of inconsistency, Cole Palmer Availability will be a big boost for Chelsea but I expect Newcastle to have the last laugh, I think Chelsea problem is partly the choach the high rate of team rotation is too much I understand he is trying to manage the fitness of his players but he should and try and maintain a winning team,
The back to back win against Everton and Cardiff city it should be a big moral booster for the team but the choach will make a high changes to the teams that earn his those results.
Chelsea to win depends on the fixturing the choach makes if not I see Newcastle winning
