They had more edge, more physicality, more intent. They looked fitter and stronger. They over-ran Celtic in midfield. Ryan Christie, James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard have 49 goals between them this season. There was barely a peep out of any of them. Christie, a major influence in most of the games he's played, missed a penalty, Forrest was anonymous and Edouard, so impressive for so long, got lucky with his goal and didn't do a whole lot else.

But I would always back Manchester City when they are at home against another big club. They often seem to find an extra gear in them, and they very rarely lose them. There won't be a repeat of the scoreline from last season, when City won 6-0, but I am still expecting Pep Guardiola's side to win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Seth's prediction: Manchester City, my boys! They are going to win, of course. They are going to crush Chelsea.
I really should not be covering the home win here but odds are high enough to be taken on the DNB on the hosts at 1.73 at this moment as they won 2-0 at home and 5-1 away at Llaneros in the previous round while Caracas struggle with Monagas losing first 3-1 on the road the first leg but winning 2-0 at home and I see a similar scenario a poor first leg here especially since they lost even at home during the season to Lara with no less than 3-0 but just to be safe will cover the draw bet.
Here I am to present this game, which takes to Turkish football championship, and in which Ankaragucu will play against Kasimpasa, both teams are very close in the league table in the relegation zone. The away team comes from 4 consecutive defeats and is in very bad shape right now. It is on a match between two badly classified teams that I will bet. There are only two pts difference between them but Ankaragucu will play at home and therefore they have a good advantage. In addition, Ankara has 2 wins in 3 home games against Kasimpasa. But I would prefer to take draw here.

With their runs forward and balls into the box they have always offered such an attacking threat along with the front three, but now they are passing to each other too. It is a joy to watch at times and they really are outstanding. I don't know a better full-back pairing in the world at the moment, and they are another reason why this Liverpool team is going to be so hard to stop.

Arsenal have won four of their last five matches and after the postponement of their match against Manchester City, they will go to this game well rested. They have not done well against Brighton in recent meetings but they will meet a side low on confidence after going winless in 10 matches. Though Arsenal have not won many away matches in the league, they have a fairly good away run across all competitions. Looking at Brighton’s form, and placed against Arsenal’s improving defensive performance, we feel a 1-0 win for Arsenal could pass here.
