Liverpool have a really serious advantage. That's way clear. A missing game and a lead by 6 points... Arsenal are trying to catch up but that draw against Aston Villa was sad for them. You shouldn't lose a 2-0 score advantage easily if you are fighting for the title. 

And Nottingham Forest... They are very surprising, aren't they? The same points as Arsenal. An important steal of one point against Liverpool recently too. Most probably they wouldn't become the champions but even finishing in this area is way above their seasonal target for sure.

Liverpool look like they will put an embargo on all the tournaments they compete in this season. There is still no team being able to compete with them seriously in the Premier League. Arsenal lose unnecessary amount of points. When it comes to Nottingham Forest this is the first season in which they do big things for a long time. I can't be sure of them about maintaining their title race as well. They didn't play great against Liverpool in that match you mentioned too.

In a season that Manchester City are having hard time challenging for the trophy, Liverpool can benefit from the situation with this great performance under Arne Slot's control.

The biggest fans of any team should be there for the good and the bad, it's like everything in life, the MU fans have to always be there, for me these things should always be like this, they can't go against things that are sometimes inevitable, the biggest fans realize that the MU coach is to blame for everything, some others will say that more players are needed, personally for me they don't need more players because they're all very good, they have a great squad, it's a shame that they treated CR7 so ​​badly because surely with this coach he would have helped him a lot to get ahead.

Yes, you are right. True fans stick with their team through thick and thin.  And in as much as it is the duty of the coach to bring all his players together, I wouldn't totally blame Amorim for the way things are at Manchester United, the players too are to be blamed. The players ought to have a winning mentality and the zeal to win before any coach can implement his philosophy at the club and be successful. The situation of CR7 left a sour taste to many. I think CR7 could have been an valuable addition to the club if things were handled differently.

Nottingham is the only team so far this season that has not lost against Liverpool, although basically this season Liverpool has really had a very impressive performance. Thus, it would be very appropriate for Nottingham to finish in the top four and get a Champions League ticket for next season. Indeed, next season Nottingham may not be as good as now, but at least Nottingham, which is basically not a top European team but with impressive results so far, of course Nottingham is very worthy of getting an award. About Arsenal, they may also still find it difficult to maintain good performance in the Premier League and in the Champions League, so Arsenal still remains unsuccessful in the race for the Premier League trophy in the last few seasons.

Let's look at the current title competition, shall we?  



Liverpool have a really serious advantage. That's way clear. A missing game and a lead by 6 points... Arsenal are trying to catch up but that draw against Aston Villa was sad for them. You shouldn't lose a 2-0 score advantage easily if you are fighting for the title.  

And Nottingham Forest... They are very surprising, aren't they? The same points as Arsenal. An important steal of one point against Liverpool recently too. Most probably they wouldn't become the champions but even finishing in this area is way above their seasonal target for sure.

Yes Liverpool are currently leading the league comfortably and that is what makes them the favourites to be championship this season, the mentality and the great consistency in getting the 3 points has been their shown this season like against Brentford where they refused to lose or draw before the end match whistle sounded, I think in addition to the mentality and also the consistency,  they are actually currently very lucky, because Manchester City which in recent seasons has dominated the league is experiencing a slump, so they are quite comfortable so far without any strong pressure from other teams that have a winning mentality .
But regardless, they currently still have 17 games left, meaning all possibilities can still happen in the Premier League, so let's see how consistent they are until the end of the season later.

Liverpool has enough hope already, considering Manchester City is having a very hard time that they might not be able to do anything again this season. because almost all the teams that are below Liverpool in the table, Liverpool will or has already given them a 10-point interval. Because even Arsenal, which is the immediate team after Liverpool, drew their last game against Aston Villa, Liverpool still has a game to play tomorrow against Ipswich Town, and we all know that the game will be a win for Liverpool, which they will be able to gain more 3 points, making them to have 53 points, which is an interval of 9 points to Arsenal.

So the best team to make it as the champions of the title this season is no team but Liverpool, and their consistency is what brought them to this stage because they only lost one game since the start of this season.

Who would have thought that Liverpool this season could be like this because Arne Slot came from a team that was considered to have minimal trophies with the club he coached. We even believe in Slot even though we don't fully expect Arne Slot to be able to immediately step on the gas to bring Liverpool like Klopp's glory. This is called a surprise.

It doesn't matter with the number of remaining matches this season, my friend. Liverpool are ready for another surprise even if they have to leave the comfort of being at the top of the standings.
The Premier League is different in competitiveness from other big leagues in Europe.
The consistent form that Liverpool will continue to do is that every match is important.

In a season that Manchester City are having hard time challenging for the trophy, Liverpool can benefit from the situation with this great performance under Arne Slot's control.

The fact that Liverpool won the league is obvious to the naked eye, bookmakers estimate their chances as 1.25 = 80% probability. The biggest surprise of the season is that, against the backdrop of City's failure, Arsenal could do nothing, while Liverpool, which everyone thought would suffer after Klopp's departure, soared to first place. Nottingham Forest's progress is also impressive, but all eyes are on the 'regular' pool of clubs.

Liverpool and Arne Slot needs to be very careful and focused, I have seen some scenario where a club was very much outstanding in all the tournament in that season but in the end the lost out in all. Even if we all praise Liverpool for their outstanding performance this season even under a new coach who was not a regular in the English Premier League, we should also advise them to be focused especially in one or two titles. With this new format of the Champions League, I did not know much about how to predict it because someone at the top of the table today could definitely not qualify in the next round.

As for the English Premier League We know, Liverpool should be very much serious with it because they have an advantage over other teams. The flop of Manchester City in the middle of the season is a big plus to Liverpool and the inconsistency of Arsenal added to the advantage. So it will be great to see that they maintain the top of the league till the end of the season

Odds and fixtures for this weekend's round (match day 23):



The most interesting one is obviously Man City Vs Chelsea. If the City wins tomorrow, they will jump back to the top 4 (Champions League zone) at the expense of Chelsea.
Chelsea is not doing great recently, they might have won their last league game but it was a home game against weak Wolves, so not much glory in that.
Man City gave a great show, beating Ipswich 6-0 in an away game, but got their asses whooped in the Champions League by PSG (4-2) so the team's morale may not be that high.
My prediction: 2-2 draw.

[Raflesia]

Amorin is required to restore Man United to its former glory and I believe in Amorin, his project is quite good and the game he plays is clear, but right now all that is needed is a player who fits his game to play under him, right now Man United can only maintain 8/9 players, the rest of their game is very bad, especially the unpredictable players also create chaos in the team. I think Amorin's job is very hard, but I believe and support him.

Indirectly in the end we all agree that Amorim's performance this season in the end may still be able to change when he gets the players who fit the criteria or with the future plans he wants at Mancehster United which until now he has not gotten because overall the current players are only inherited from the previous era.

But it seems that things like this will also be more difficult than imagined. Amorim's situation is currently in an uncomfortable state where Manchester United have lost their appetite for financial spending or rather a bit of difficulty because earlier in the season they had already spent quite a lot of money on several players which makes Amorim's scheme likely to be stuck in the end.
This will certainly have more of an impact in the end although there might be one or two players in this transfer but I don't think it will be enough to change the performance although there might be a difference in terms of consistency.

Their performance is so bad in the premier league. however amorim was brought in to bring change but he has not managed to do well enough in the premier league. One of their focuses might be on the European league to be able to find a ticket to the champions league next season.

In the premier league manchester united's ranking is getting worse, even many other teams with mediocre player depth can be superior this season. Of course we all know that every new Coach needs to adapt to the character of his player but with the status of a big team or a big name of course it doesn't take that long to make it happen. Now amorim is always the focus when manchester united suffers defeat, maybe that is a reversal from onana who is now Amorim who is targeted by fans to criticize their performance in the premier league.

I don't understand what you're saying about what you're talking about Liverpool focusing on some tournaments any team that he as the momentum to Go as far as possible should do it and win all the tournaments that they are participating in because telling a team to focus only on some tournaments is like trying to limit the success that a team can achieve in a particular footballing season because in the past we have seen clubs winning up to four to five times in a season so Liverpool should continue in this way in all tournaments what you should be talking about is Liverpool should maintain their form and avoid injuries so they can remain competitive going into the second phase of the season

Leverkusen is a good example of what am talking about because last season in the German footballing calendar Leverkusen won all trophies and almost won the Europa League to make it four trophies so your advice is not in order any team that has the squad depth and the mental strength should win as much trophies that is possible

Nottingham Forest's progress is also impressive, but all eyes are on the 'regular' pool of clubs.

This is definitely the story of the season in the premier league so far, Manchester city were most people most predictions for the league but since they were just coming back from winning four straight titles win and it was a mission never to had ever been achieved before so base on that many of the fans where with the prediction of them not winning the league this season. Some predicted that the players will battle fatigue this season and we simply saw that with the injuries all over the club.

Arsenal was actually the most voted club to win the league should Manchester City didn’t win, this is because only Arsenal has actually been competing with Manchester City team for the past two years and were ready to take the crown off them . This season Arsenal have been a shadow of themselves having let Liverpool who didn’t even make a recognized signing in the summer aside Chiesa who they bought and haven’t use since then, so to me this is the perfect Arsenal time to get something and they are simply bottling it yet again

[reefsea]

Liverpool are so busy this season, they have a pretty tight schedule that will drain a lot of player energy in every competition they play. In my opinion with what they have gone through in every tournament of course Liverpool are so focused this season to win many trophies.
Maybe the effort that will be done as well as possible will win the second leg of the league cup when facing Tottenham. In the first leg Tottenham managed to get full points because they were able to beat Liverpool and in the second leg of course Liverpool must be able to perform better at Anfield to be able to bring change by winning and advancing to the final.

However, in the domestic league, the Champions League of course Liverpool's performance is so good, they are able to stay at the top of the standings with the wins they have managed to record. Liverpool consistency in winning this season reminds us of Leverkusen last season who managed to become champions in the Bundesliga.
So, will Liverpool have the same fate by successfully winning the Premier League trophy this season.

Man City gave a great show, beating Ipswich 6-0 in an away game, but got their asses whooped in the Champions League by PSG (4-2) so the team's morale may not be that high.
My prediction: 2-2 draw.

Simple prediction but very convincing for me, a very good prediction.

And looking at the odds provided by the bookmaker, we see that the BTTS option has very low odds and means that both teams score and it is like a guarantee.



On the one hand, looking at the odds of the total score of each team, makes me sure that the match can end in a 1-1 or 2-2 draw. This is a good choice for bettors. And the surprise result if it happens in this match will only be a surprise with Man City's victory with a score of 2-1.

[Amphenomenon]

In a season that Manchester City are having hard time challenging for the trophy, Liverpool can benefit from the situation with this great performance under Arne Slot's control.

I must say this seems like the best time for Liverpool to win the EPL title again with the shocking drop of Manchester City performance and Arsenal just being far from doing right by getting better reinforcement to compete, even with their inconsistency while Chelsea now is struggling to remain in the top four.

Liverpool should just try to continue in their excellent performance and avoid losing silly points which may make this more difficult for them and thereby may end up not as title contenders just like the Gunners who have always been trying but failing to remain consistent in recent seasons.

My prediction: 2-2 draw.

A draw is possible, but Pep won't let Chelsea make it draw tonight. I heard he is preparing new ammunition for the squad, new players was recruiit like Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Vitor Reis may be turned to help win at Etihad Stadium. It would be interesting match if we see how they play on previous club. Omar Marmoush may be paired with Haaland, and of course it will make the city's attacks will get sharper, and there will be a midfield reshuffle to accommodate him. And for defender position, after kyle walker move to AC Milan, Abdukodir Khusanov, or Reis will fill that position, not yet fixed who, together or Pep will be choose one of them.

I have prediction The City will win slightly if there is really a squad reshuffle.

[tusandii]

Liverpool should just try to continue in their excellent performance and avoid losing silly points which may make this more difficult for them and thereby may end up not as title contenders just like the Gunners who have always been trying but failing to remain consistent in recent seasons.

To maintain high prestige, it can be ensured that Liverpool will not be defeated by a club that tends to be weak and even if there is a surprise, I think this match might result in a draw because if Liverpool is defeated by Ipswich it will be very embarrassing and the reputation that he has built since the beginning of the season will be in vain, even though 1 defeat will not affect Liverpool's position at the top of the standings, but Arsenal is still right below it so he will feel at an advantage to continue to put pressure on Liverpool.

[Lannakosa]

The coach (Amorim) made it clear in one of his press conference that they're going to suffer and I totally understand what he's was trying to say, it very clear that most of these players are not getting his strategy clear and several of them leaves to leave the club cause they're struggling and not showing any signs of improvement and the lose against Brighton is more than enough prove. Ineos would be blamed if this coach doesn't succeed and get fired like others cause they know the solution to Manchester United's problem, it's clear and everybody can see it but they're refusing to solve it by backing up the coach with new arrivals but instead giving excuses with financial fair plays rules instead of doing the needful. Amorim is a good coach and if given the right players I think he'll try to restore Manchester United back to their position in few years time.

Later, when Amorim received backlash for his statement, he clarified that he was talking about himself and not the players when he said Manchester United was the worst in the club's history.

I think it's good that it happened, it will bring clarity between the manager and the players, and maybe he shouldn't have talked about how bad everything is, because it's obvious, instead he needs to attract new players by any means necessary, or demand funding from the management, or sell players and buy those he needs.

[SatoPrincess]

The game has kicked off. Wolves have a new manager, they are looking to improve and get back to winning ways. Against Arsenal the new manager will want to make an impression so I wouldn’t advise that Wolves be underrated in this game though Arsenal have the better team and stronger side in this fixture. It is expected that Arsenal should win against all odds, I hope they don’t bottle it today.
