Isak was able to equalize the goal and level the scoreline to 1-1 on the 60th minutes. Fourteen minutes later, Forest got a penalty due to a rough tackle from Allison. Gibbs-White put Forest in front again with a brilliant penalty kick and the scoreline is currently 1-2.

Liverpool is always playing the catching up game will they be able to equalize this goal like they did in their opening match or lose all three points.

If Liverpool continues like this, it's going to be a long and tough season for them, because they seems like a team that is struggling. They are having more of the ball, but are doing absolutely nothing with it, as I speak Munoz has equalize in the 82nd minutes of the game, but will their be more goals in this game?
That's what I can't guarantee for now, but I will be expecting a fascinating end of this game because Nottingham Forest wouldn't want to go home empty handed, considering the effort they have put in this game so far, so let's just watch and see how this last few minutes will play out.

I don't like daytime games, but the odds seem good enough to bet on Liverpool:

1.46 - 4.70 - 6.40

The first home game of the season, coupled with a setback against Newcastle, should provide maximum motivation. For live betting, the threshold I'd be interested in is probably 1.6+ x1 if clean sheet (before the 65th minute), and 2.5+ if Liverpool concedes first. Evening games look completely random, Coventry - Hull City especially. I'm not sure that Bournemouth are bigger favourites than Tottenham, although the bookmakers see it that way.

Mate, Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle last week thanks to a last-minute goal; so, they didn't lose.
Even though odds of 1.46 sounded appealing, right now they are drawing 2–2 with Forest.
The betting slips of those who wagered at 1.46 odds have lost. Liverpool managed to salvage a point this week with a late goal as well.

I couldn't place a bet because I was busy, but if I had, I would have bet on Liverpool to win this match.

Liverpool certainly played like crap again. Nottingham looked better from the start, which unfortunately allowed me to immediately place an additional bet at odds of 1.70, and then, after Liverpool conceded, another one at odds of 2.90. The only bet I was able to win was a bet on the 4th goal being scored and it would be Liverpool with odds of 2.35. But in any case, taking into account the ruined multiple bets, this game cost me dearly, I hope Atletico, Lens and Bayer will please me today.

upd: Bayer is already losing 0-2 in the 10th minute

The Arsenal Chief Executive spoke firmly about the charges against Man City. We should still remember that there were over 100 issues related to financial rule violations. Richard Garlick said that everyone is waiting for the outcome of the hearing. He is very confident that people around the world are waiting for the decision regarding those charges. This situation also affects the credibility of the EPL and its governing body. Rules need to be clear and fair for all teams so that it's clear the institution has high credibility.

Betting on Liverpool currently seems like a bad idea except you either betting on them to concede or for both teams to score.

Two games now and still no win for Liverpool rather same scoreline, 2 vs 2 against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, I feel the pressure will  soon be on Iraola but at least the positive side is Alexander Isak got a goal and if he can be consistent then things will only become easier for them.

[len01]

Right now, I'd say Arsenal are the favorites, but my opinion might change as the league progresses. I believe Manchester City are a serious contender against Arsenal. If Manchester City take the lead later in the season, they could be better than Arsenal.

If you are a fan of a football team, it seems like you don’t have much consistency and always change your opinion whenever another team improves. 

As for City being a contender alongside Arsenal, and City being better than Arsenal if they finish at the top of the table at the end of the season, I find that statement quite funny.  Of course, whoever finishes in first place at the end of the season will be the best team. But based on your statement, it seems like you are actually confused about which team you should support.

If you choose City and they successfully win the title this season, you might end up regretting not choosing Arsenal.

Wow! Just look at Hull City. They’ve scored three goals across two matches without conceding any, racking up six points.
They have the lowest budget in the Premier League, yet right now, they sit in second place at the top of the table on goal difference.
I know it’s far too early to say, but I wonder—could Hull City pull off what Leicester City did this year?
I’d love to see that happen for Acun Ilıcalı, but it’s a tall order.

Will they be the next Leicester City? I doubt that.

I saw a youtube video of the club owner saying he was certain they won't be getting relegated and so far so good, this has been a good start for Hull City. This is what I thought of Coventry, but they seem to be facing the same issues even against a side promoted from the same Championship. Tottenham Hotspur lost their last game to Brentford during the opening fixture for them. I'm hoping to see them win today though against Newcastle United.

something fishy is going on here, like I don't really understand Liverpool, they drew last week and again drew this week, and that's not really convincing, it's not impressive in any way, they are not giving their fans the hope needed, and it's not really nice, they should better wake up from their slumber before it's too late, I know it's still very much early but on the other hand we have other teams that are already doing the needful and time waits for no Man, they should better act fast because there won't be any extra slot this time.

This period there are only few teams I can include in my ticket because of  the way the season is going . Including Liverpool in your ticket especially giving them to win is very risky because they have not build yet, even Manchester city I kind of believe somehow I don't include them in my ticket, I was thinking Crystal palace will win them because of what they played in their first match but they surprised me honestly. The only club I can play to win is Arsenal because they are showing some level of consistency and competency.

So, it isn't just a poor Manchester united team, but it's more about there efforts and zeal to go for winnings, and they are getting it. They are really doing well, proving that there promotional was worth it.

It's not easy winning your first two games in the top flight, and this has gone far to show how strong they are and there abilities to push further for more victories. Though we just started, but they have shown that teams should be careful with them, and plan better when you clash with them to avoid losses.. they are really doing well.

Did you see that goal that rat Isak scored? Gakpo did all the work, and Isak just latched onto his pass into the empty net. Isak is a rubbish player, he can't carry the team forward. On the contrary, if the team doesn't work for him, he can't do anything. The biggest flop in the Premier League. We'll see what changes with Barcola's arrival, but right now Liverpool don't look like a team capable of fighting for the title. Iraiola is lucky to have Ipswich, Fulham and Bournemouth ahead of him - not the strongest teams, because if Liverpool continue to drop points, he might as well start packing his bags.

Absolutely, the surest bet on Liverpool now is No cleanshit.

Two matches, two points but no surprises. These two clubs Liverpool have played so far (Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest) have always been a threat to Liverpool. Even though Liverpool won home and away against Newcastle last season, it was a hard fought battle and Newcastle scored in both legs. It was a 50/50 with Nottingham Forest but Forest scored higher goals.

Liverpool weakness at the moment is the midfield. They were completely outplayed in the midfield and this new guy is very slow to adjust the tactical setup.

Immediately I saw this victory, I also begin to think of Leicester City on how they perform that year, but despite that I am still not convinced, because the only strong team they faced was Manchester United and this is just the beginning so let's see how they are performance will be in their next coming matches. Yes they are performance was excellent and with this start, they have make a very good move. Hull City is one of the teams that got promoted and their promotion was not directly which I expected to see the two teams performing better than them, but only Ipswich have secured their first victory, let wait and see their second game. Coventry that top the championship have not record any victory since they arrival.

The season is still too early but I love the energy they have displayed so far. 3 goals in two matches with clean sheet in both games. I see strong potential ahead of the season. Coventry decided to be the direct opposite of Hull city, they have conceded 4 goals in 2 matches without any GF to help them scale the season.

I am concerned if they can do what Leicester City did in 2016 but yet I am also concerned about their performance when they meet Aston Villa in their next fixture.

The club still doesn't seem serious, and starting the season this way is not a good sign at all. Having more ball possession doesn't mean anything, and they aren't even being creative right now, so when you have more ball possession, it should make it easier for anyone to score. This clearly shows that Liverpool are not creative at all, and if they keep doing this, I'm sure it will be harder for them to go for it. I haven't seen the effort they were putting in because if they were, the outcome would be evident. And this kind of result will even make people lose confidence in them because this is a very poor start for me, so they will have to do better than this to get people's confidence back.

Hull City won the current Championship winners Coventry. We could see Lampard leaving Coventry before GW5 if he doesn't get a point from 5 matches.
Hull City in the last two matches were the better team. Three un-replied games against two tough side.

I know it’s far too early to say, but I wonder—could Hull City pull off what Leicester City did this year?
I’d love to see that happen for Acun Ilıcalı, but it’s a tall order.

Impossible. They are not in that class yet.
We should be discussing on how they can stay up in the premier league after 27 years of no premier league game.

Liverpool 2 - 2 Nottingham Forest

It's been 2 games and 2 draws already. It seems this will be a very troublesome season, and the problem is in the defense. In the last game against Newcastle, those defenders allowed Newcastle to score 2 goals. The performance of each player in the defense was terrible. For example:

Milos Kerkez: 4.8

Jérémy Jacquet: 4.9

Jeremie Frimpong: 4.5

And to make matters worse, these 3 Liverpool defenders each received a yellow card. That was their terrible performance in the game against Newcastle. When I thought that in the next game everything would be different, I was shocked to see that they didn't improve much; they let two goals be scored again. Their points weren't great either. For example:

Jérémy Jacquet: 6.2

Milos Kerkez: 5.8

Jeremie Frimpong: 5.4

With these two consecutive draws, it's not a good way to start the season. I don't think they'll be fighting for the title; they lost 4 points. If they had won both games, they would have 6 points. I don't know what the coach will do to correct the defensive flaws. The attack is acceptable, with 4 goals scored in 2 games, where they scored 2 goals in each game, which is acceptable, but the defense is a disaster.

[Salahmu]

This is what I thought of Coventry, but they seem to be facing the same issues even against a side promoted from the same Championship. Tottenham Hotspur lost their last game to Brentford during the opening fixture for them. I'm hoping to see them win today though against Newcastle United.

What the coach has said actually tallies to the club current status because what Hull City has been doing in the premier League especially on this two matches isn't for a club that would be relegating this season, between all the team that have had there second matches they're the the second team who have won there both matches with 6 point, actually Hull City is stronger than how they look, I stopped underestimating them from the defeat on Manchester United. Relegation are meant for clubs like Coventry city because there starting has already evaluated them and they stand on a high chance to loss up to straight seven matches ahead.

[Pandu Geddon]

The attack is acceptable, with 4 goals scored in 2 games, where they scored 2 goals in each game, which is acceptable, but the defense is a disaster.

The performance in two disappointing matches from a strong team like Liverpool. They will play in the Champions League this season, it seems it will be a difficult season for Liverpool. They must immediately find a solution for the defensive line. Even Hull City, the promoted team this season, had a better start.
