On Sunday, the local boy Curtis Jones scored the winning goal for Liverpool against Chelsea at Anfield. While he may not be the first name that comes to mind when listing the top players on Liverpool's team, along with Ryan Gravenberch, they were both outstanding in their midfield roles during the 2-1 victory against Chelsea. If they continue their dominating performance against opponents like Cole Palmer, Liverpool's success train will only gain more momentum.
After their statement win, manager Arne Slot and his players celebrated a well-deserved victory, silencing critics who claimed their success was due to an easy start to the season. Any doubts about their ability to maintain their position at the top of the league have been put to rest. This weekend, they face another big challenge against Arsenal, but with odds of 21/10 to come out with a win, they seem undervalued. In fact, their current odds of 11/4 with Betway, Betfred and Sky Bet to win the title seem like a distant memory.
Under Jurgen Klopp's leadership, Liverpool's "heavy metal football" has evolved into a more refined approach that could also lead to success in Europe. They have a chance to prove this in their upcoming Champions League match against RB Leipzig, a club founded by Red Bull, and where Klopp previously coached. Mohamed Salah's seventh goal of the season, a penalty against Chelsea, solidifies his place as a key player for Liverpool.
Having won ten out of eleven games in all competitions this season, Liverpool's confidence is high as they head into their match against Arsenal. With odds of 17/20 with Ladbrokes, Coral, William Hill and others, they are expected to continue their winning streak. Salah is also a safe bet at 5/1 with Unibet and BetUK to score the first goal of the game.
In other matches, there is potential for a high-scoring game between Atalanta and Celtic, with odds of 13/10 for over 3.5 goals with Unibet. On Wednesday, all eyes will be on the clash between Bundesliga table-toppers Bayern Munich and LaLiga leaders Barcelona. The battle between Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski will be one to watch, with the England captain having scored 13 goals in ten games, including a hat-trick against Stuttgart last weekend. He is priced at 27/20 with BetUK and Unibet to score in this match, while Lewandowski, who has 14 goals in 12 games, is at 59/50 with the same firms.
In other football news, Manchester City will face Sparta Prague in the Champions League, and Phil Foden has odds of 6/1 with Sky Bet to score the first goal. This should be a straightforward game for City, with Sparta Prague being an easier team to break down than Wolves, who they faced and beat last Sunday. It's also worth considering a bet of 8/11 with William Hill for City to win by more than 2.5 goals.
And for those looking to place a treble bet on Wednesday's Football League, Sheffield United, Burnley, and Millwall are all good options. In other news, Ajax has responded to rumors of a potential return of Antony from Manchester United, while a 48-year-old football legend teases a comeback in Serie A. Lastly, a four-year-old has been hailed as the "next Rory McIlroy" after an impressive hole-in-one feat.
