1.69 for over 2.5 in said game doesn't exactly look like price error of the century to me. You could make a case for the price to be a bit shorter but clearly the markets already favour overs here.
We know City will go for the 3pts, Liverpool's mentality and approach to the game will be the most interesting factor.
City looked very vulnerable to the counter-press against Southampton, Liverpool are likely to be a lot more ruthless with said method.
I still don't like over 2.5 at current prices but I'm sure they'll be some folks arguing it should be 1.49 and that it's time for the biggest bank burner of the season.
I too am concerned by this previous 0-0 you speak of.
@StevieDay1983 Is it time to dust off the punters lounge manuscripts and take heed of the ancient wisdom that is 'two team repel theory' ???

 

I´m on a Double here today.
I will go with the Fav´s and bet on Wins from Arsenal and Spurs.
Both with MUST WIN´s today, i think both Coaches want the win´s and they have in my opinion perfect Opponents.
Both teams can rotate at Weekend in FA Cup, so i think today Gunners and Spurs will field strong (maybe strongest) possible Starting XI. Spurs will face Cardiff, where i personal think they are to weak in Offensive, to make trouble in Spurs defensive.

Brentford vs Norwich
The one game that stands out for me on New Year's Day is this clash between Brentford and Norwich at Griffin Park in a 3pm kick-off. Both sides failed to win their previous games in the festive period so will be looking to start 2019 with a win here. Who will prevail victorious?
Brentford have long been a source of profit for me since the departure of Dean Smith to Aston Villa. It was only the shock 1-1 draw against West Brom that saw them deny me I think. So I'm going to bet against them again here. The Bees are now in the midst of a run of results that has brought just 1 win in the past 9 matches. It's seen the club drop to 18th in the table and just 5 points above the relegation zone.
Norwich are arguably the surprise package of the season and Daniel Farke's side will believe they can win this one. The Canaries are 2nd in the table and 3 points behind league leaders Leeds. A disappointing 4-3 defeat to Derby at home that saw them leading 3-2 with minutes left before floodlight failure disrupted the game prevented them from moving level on points with the top placed side.
This match is backed by statistics that can give both sides confidence. Norwich have kept a clean sheet on each of their last three visits to Griffin Park. The Canaries have also won 10 of the last 15 encounters between these two sides. Not a bad record to have against an upcoming opponent. Norwich are also on a run of 10 away league games unbeaten in the league.
However, they should be wary. Brentford have never lost a league match at Griffin Park played on New Year's Day. That's 6 wins and 4 draws to date. Norwich are also winless in their last 6 away league games that have been played on New Year's Day. Not necessarily the best of omens going into this game.
I think this Norwich side will be seething coming into this game after the circumstances that surrounded their defeat the other day. Farke's men will be keen to put things right and they're up against a Brentford side that aren't exactly the most difficult of opposition post-Smith era. It'll be tight but I can see a Norwich victory. Back the draw no bet option if you're not quite as confident as me.

Cardiff vs Tottenham
My first preview of this New Year's Day schedule of games will try to build on what @thfc has said but I think he's got it nailed on. It's Cardiff at home to Tottenham in a 5:30pm kick-off at the Cardiff City Stadium and I'm not as optimistic as other Bluebirds fans are heading into this one.
Cardiff picked up their first away win of the season. Despite what the highlights showed it was a game I felt we deserved to win. We generally dealt with Leicester quite comfortably and only had ourselves to blame for not scoring the decisive goal earlier. It's a win that has solidified our position in 16th place to remain 3 points clear outside the relegation zone.
Tottenham suffered a surprising 3-1 loss at home to Wolves in their last game. It wasn't a result many people saw coming with Spurs leading 1-0 with just 18 minutes left. It's a defeat that now leaves Mauricio Pochettino's side 9 points off the title pace and needing something special to get back into the title race.
This could be a harsh bump back to reality for Cardiff. Our home record is decent but Manchester United exposed us on home territory just as Manchester City did earlier in the season. We simply can't cope when teams pile forward on our back line. We might score on the counter but for every goal or two we'll get we'll concede 3-4 goals when teams do that.
Pochettino will be looking for a reaction from his players. I'm not saying Tottenham will turn us over but I'm not expecting to come away from the Cardiff City Stadium having witnessed us take anything from this game. This is a very good Tottenham side and I can see them grinding out a 1-0 or 2-0 victory.
On a personal note, it's a poignant moment for me. I had a season ticket for Cardiff from the 1999/2000 season when we were in the old Division 4 right up until the season we first got promoted to the Premier League. A combination of the re-brand and having my first child all came together to prevent me from renewing my season ticket for that first Premier League season. For one reason or another, usually family or work related commitments, I've never managed to see Cardiff live in the Premier League. Tomorrow, that changes. Here's hoping we can take all three points! May the best team win, @thfc!

@StevieDay1983 as a spurs fan, i'm wary of the Cardiff game given your reasonable home form and good recent results.  That said, spurs have been excellent away from home, and we do tend to pick up a result after a loss.  However, I can't tip spurs on the outrights at the current prices.  Spurs also have a tight turnaround with an FA cup game on Friday, although I can't imagine many first 11 players will play in that one, especially as the league cup semi vs Chelsea follows on the Tuesday.
I haven't found anything I fancy on this game, but i'll be interested in your take on the game and whether you fancy Cardiff to get something out of the game.
  

Bournemouth - Watford X2
I am again against Bournemouth, I am not so confident they will lose but I am confident they will not win so double chance on X2 with some poor odds with high probability of going through. In the first game Watford lost 0:4 but they got a red card in 1st HT and still the statistics didn't go that much on the Bournemouth side.
Newcastle - Man Utd AWAY WIN
Newcastle is obviously not an easy opponent considering they were 0:2 up in the first game between them where Man Utd grinded out a win in last minutes but situation in Man Utd changed and they play confidently in last rounds. Newcastle lost at home to all top sides and almost all with 1:2...I could imagine it happening again.
Man City - Liverpool BTTS
Two strong opponents so I expect goals from both sides with most probable outcome 1:1. Liverpool with slightly better defense but I believe Man City has slightly better offense so it comes down to before mentioned result. I realized that Man City concedes at least a goal all the way to their CL game against Lyon.
For the rest of the games I would have considered Huddersfield to grab a win against Burnley but one of their best players Mooy is injured so no bet just like West Ham who also has lots of missings.

I think odds on pool are too high. They dropped a bit last few day but game day i'm seeing them closer to 3 or possibly even sub 3. Yes City is a tough opponent but i cant help but feel value on +0,5 pool currently sitting at 1.9

Championship have low odds today without interesting except two matches for me.

Blackburn rovers fight leeds united straight at the last game and i believe now with Sheffield united has the same opportunity to give problems on hosters with counter attacks and i believe Sheffield haven`t the same strength with leeds to react. Odds 6.00.

The best wicked match for me today is QPR - READING. Big position difference but the same attack for two teams. And will see a Reading in the last four away games to fight strong. I suggest to have one eye on this game. We have great away odds on 5.50.

Leicester vs Cardiff
Well, it's been great to revel in Cardiff getting an away point in the Premier League. It doesn't happen much so please bear with me! My first preview from this weekend's top flight matches is our game away to Leicester in a 3pm kick-off at the King Power Stadium this Saturday. Bring it on!
Leicester come into this game as heavy favourites after moving to 7th in the table thanks to back-to-back victories against Chelsea and Manchester City. Those victories ended a run of three league games without a win and will give Claude Puel the chance to add some punching power to his January transfer negotiations. 
Cardiff are defying expectations by being placed outside the relegation zone at the midway point of the season. Neil Warnock's side still can't get that win away from home but is this the chance to do it? The point away to Crystal Palace was crucial and ensures they are 3 points clear of the bottom three heading into this game.
The last time these two sides met was under eerie circumstances just days after the tragic death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. The Foxes came away with all three points that day but the Bluebirds were left ruing a momentary lapse of concentration and missed chances at the other end of the pitch.
Statistics are not Cardiff's friend coming into this one. The Bluebirds haven't scored more than a single goal in any of the past 12 meetings with Leicester. Having scored just 5 goals in 9 away matches this season it seems hard to imagine that changing this weekend.
Leicester boast a prolific record against newly promoted sides. The Foxes have won 7 of their last 10 meetings with newly promoted teams in the Premier League. This season they have already beaten Cardiff and Wolves plus drawn against Fulham.
It's a tall order for Cardiff but we're getting players back fit and I think Warnock has shown a willingness to mix things up away from home. The 5-3-2 is something I've pushed for since the opening weeks of the season and finally Warnock has shifted to that approach. Yes, we could have lost by 2 or 3 to Palace but we could also have won the game. That's the risky approach we'll have to adopt away from home. I wouldn't be surprised to see us a nick a point here as well.

Manchester United vs Bournemouth
The continued resurgence from Manchester United is the focus of my attention in the final Premier League preview this weekend when they welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford in interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's third league game in charge of this club for this 4:30pm kick-off tomorrow afternoon.
Manchester United have shown a renewed attacking style under Solskjaer early management that has seen them score 8 and concede 2 goals against Cardiff away and Huddersfield at home. Some would argue that it's not been the biggest test thus far but there are no easy games at this level any more. The Red Devils are still in 6th place but win here and after results today the gap on the top four will close to potentially just 5 points.
Bournemouth are very hit and miss this season but it's looking like another solid season from Eddie Howe's men so far. The Cherries are sat in 12th place with 26 points from their 19 league games so far. The law of averages suggests that just 5 wins from their remaining 19 league matches will be enough to see them safe so the attention really should be on looking above themselves.
United dominate the head-to-head meetings between these two sides with 5 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 loss in their 7 league meetings so far. Even worse for Bournemouth is the fact that they've never beaten United at Old Trafford in all competitions with 1 draw and 6 defeats.
Form is an issue for Bournemouth right now. The club has lost 7 of its last 9 Premier League matches having conceded an unsettling 21 goals during those games. The Cherries are undoubtedly suffering with the injuries to Simon Francis, Lewis Cook, Adam Smith, and Dan Gosling weakening their defensive structure.
I can see United's new fluent attacking play being too much for the visitors here. I can see a 3-1 or even 4-1 win for Solskjaer's side here as they look to turn the screw on a Bournemouth side that need to battle through this bad run of results before the unthinkable happens.

I've given up on it StevieD, too erratic for me! A great competition to watch though, as it has really spiced up this season.

Watford should win...they lose to top sides, win against bottom sides...and Newcastle have gotten results mainly against bottom sides. However, Newcastle are a different side since they beat Watford the first time to begin their current run of form...three points in their first 10, 14 points since then in nine matches. If a shock win is going to happen this week by a big away dog, it'll be this one. Newcastle for me at 5.36

For me today:
In Brighton - Everton Game i feel i could be end in Away Win. Everton after heavy defeat against Spurs, with some great reaction and made a big defeat for Burnley. Now they have the Momentum on his side i think. Brighton hard to beat at home, but for me this Season Everton doing really well against Teams from 2nd Half of the Table.
For me i´ve made here two Bets - with Everton Win and the Both2Score - Yes
 
Other Game for me is Fulham - Huddersfield
Big Battle today and for me Fulham have more quality here. Playing at Home and for me yes the Fulham defensive is weak - but in my eyes the Huddersfield Offensive are not so good, to make enough Pressure to score more then Fulham and make a Win.
 

It has become clear that Liverpool will claim the title by the end and this year seems capable of succeeding, at the moment it is the first favorite. Arsenal is losing away from home, but it is not a negligible team, if it is not careful the home team will have a problem. I expect an open and beautiful game with goals on either side, they can score both and confirm that both teams score
LIVERPOOL FC vs ARSENAL FC @@ Both team to score, odds 1.65

Hello everyone! I will play this 3 games as a parlay...
Brighton - Everton BTTS @1.8 7/10
At first I had a feeling I should take Brighton DNB but Everton super performance in last round got me off of it so I decided to take the safer option. Brighton scores in almost all home games and after Everton scoring 5 goals in last round at least one goal from them should be expected to make this bet go through. Everton had two 2:2 results against weaker opponents previously this season on the road.
Watford - Newcastle HOME WIN @1.8 6/10
I am backing Watford all the way since their Man City game, at Everton I had them DNB, then two Wins and against Chelsea since I expected Chelsea is however a bit stronger opponent I placed BTTS(and I said Chelsea will need at least 2 goals to win). All in all Watford plays just fine in last rounds while Newcastle is in average shape imo and although it seems less likely to happen I expect again the same result we have seen in previous 2 seasons...2:1. In the first game between them it was 1:0 but Watford was somewhat more dominant so Newcastle win was non deserving, it should have been at least a draw. They both had a draw at Everton but Watford was slightly closer to grab a win there. I don't expect a blowout of Newcastle but usual and most often result in football...a win by one goal of home team. Watford also has much better goal difference and is better placed on the standings. They have also both played against West Ham recently with opposite performance - in favor of Watford again.
Liverpool - Arsenal HOME WIN @1.5 8/10
Liverpool is going for the title and they play well and go into that direction, they need to collect as much points as they can before the Champions league campaign starts again. I rate Arsenal and Man Utd somewhat similar and therefore I expect similar result like Liverpool had against Man Utd. I heard someone saying that Arsenal on the road under Emery is playing better than under Wenger but to me it seems all the same, they had pretty weak opponents so far and they lost to Southampton recently who wanted a win under new manager. Liverpool however doesn't have a new manager but they also want a win for the title.
From other games I wanted to take Fulham to win, they still didn't win under new manager but I just don't trust them. They had a lead against Wolves 15' before the end and at the end they almost lost the game...and Huddersfield managed to score in last two games.
And something tells me not to touch the Tottenham game, yep they play nicely in last rounds but Wolves are counter team and could make a surprise. At those odds it is not worth it and taking Tottenham again on handicap seems unlikely to happen even by statistics.
As for Leicester game I have no opinion since Cardiff is a mystery to me
GL y'all!!!

Brighton V Everton
Brighron haven't won in 4 games, so based on the law of averages, we are due a win soon! We were unlucky not to get all 3 points apparently against Arsenal, and  we could have snatched a draw against Chelsea. We have only lost at home to them and Spurs, and I don't rate Everton as good as either of them.
Everton were very lucky last season to snatch a late draw with a penalty.

Birmingham vs Brentford
My second preview of the weekend focuses on a game that @Johnmccain has backed already. Play-off chasing Birmingham host a struggling Brentford in this 3pm kick-off on Saturday afternoon at St Andrew's. Who will prevail in this match between two sides looking to extend undefeated runs?
Birmingham have been a work-in-progress under Garry Monk for about a year now. It finally appears that the board's patience with Monk's approach is paying off. The Blues are in 7th place and just 2 points outside the play-offs. It's been two wins on the bounce for the club and they'll be hoping to make it three wins in a row here to potentially move into the top six.
Brentford have found times hard since the departure of Dean Smith but his replacement Thomas Frank grabbed a deserved 1-0 win at home to Bolton before grinding out a 1-1 draw away to Bristol City to make for a more positive mood over the festive period. The Bees are in 18th place but now only 5 points clear of relegation. Defeat here could damage morale once again.
The travelling side have a lot to be optimistic about heading into this game. Brentford have remained undefeated against Birmingham in their last four league meetings. Furthermore, Brentford could make it three wins on the bounce at St Andrew's for the first time since December 1990.
I'm expecting this to be a typically tough festive game for both sides. Weary legs and lapses in concentration could play a huge part but I fully expect Birmingham to come away with the win here. Brentford have stung me before though. Still, I think there's something steely about this Blues side and I'm not convinced that the recent results of the Bees are a long term turn around in fortunes.

QPR vs Reading
I'm not too sure how many times I've turned to QPR and Reading for a preview tip before but it's not too many. I make the exception here with the two sides meeting in a 3pm kick-off this Saturday afternoon at Loftus Road with the home side enjoying far better form than the away side.
QPR appear to be performing well under Steve McClaren against all expectations. The former England manager has guided the Hoops to 8th place over the festive period after notching up three straight league wins. Before that run they had endured a winless streak of four league games. The club is now just 2 points off the play-offs.
Reading are on the opposite end of the spectrum. After sacking Paul Clement back on 6th December, the club turned to Jose Gomes just 6 days ago to turn things around. Since he arrived, the club has lost 1-0 twice against Middlesbrough and Millwall. It's not an ideal start and it seems hard to imagine a man that has managed 10 clubs in 13 years in Portugal, Hungary, UAE, and Saudi Arabia will be the man to save the Royals.
QPR have won three of their last four league encounters with Reading but Reading have only 3 of their last 15 visits to Loftus Road so they will have every right to feel that this ground is a lucky venue for the club. Still, it's going to take a big effort to build confidence in a squad that has dropped to 23rd in the table and are now 3 points adrift of safety.
I have to back the home side here. Reading were on to a hiding to nothing when they appointed Clement. It will take a complete overhaul of philosophy and playing style to save them and the new manager, with his absence of experience in English football, will need to somehow do it in the space of just 22 league games. It must also begin with a visit to the team that possesses the 4th best home record in the division. Not looking too likely.

Only real value I see is in the Championship this weekend!
But I will back Luton in League One.
Walsall vs. Luton
I think Luton are short to win this, but they are consistently winning and I think they are on a trajectory to take top spot in League One. I didn't see it coming, and as a punter have often overlooked them as their odds are always short, but now I am starting to see why the bookies consider them so backable. Walsall are on a poor run of form, particularly in the last game losing at home to a lowly Bristol Rovers side 1 - 3. I fancy Luton to keep with winning ways at around 1.80.
I am backing each team in singles bets and also going for the following doubles:
Birmingham / Aston Villa at around 5.0
Stoke / Luton at around 3.7
Good luck all!

Only real value I see is in the Championship this weekend!
Birmingham vs. Brentford
I think Birmingham have been outstanding of late and comfortably beating Stoke was no mean feat. Stoke have become extremely difficult to break down, and to be honest I think the bookies are overestimating Brentford. Despite the good squad, I am not sure the new manager was the best appointment. One could argue they've turned a corner of late but I don't think a win against lowly Bolton or a draw against another misfiring team in Bristol City can amount to that. I would be tempted to take Birmingham with a -1 handicap but instead I'm just going for the straight win at just over evens.
Preston vs. Aston Villa
Preston are a team that consistently overachieve and, much like my team Sheffield United, have a squad full of players that the divisions top teams' fans would not consider to be top Championship players like their own. I am a huge fan of Callum Robinson, but he has been out since November and I think Preston have suffered, and I just think Aston Villa will be able to outscore them. If I was pushed I would opt for Villa to win and over 3.5 goals, but instead I will just go with the Villa win at just over evens again.
Bolton vs. Stoke
We all know that Bolton are going through some issues right now, and after their great start to the season they are truly in a relegation dogfight. Honestly, I expect them to go down as the bottom team. I don't think they will have much transfer activity this January and, if anything, they will lose players rather than gain them. Stoke will look to bounce back after losing to Birmingham and being comfortably beaten, and I expect Rowett to instill to them a must-win mentality in this game. They have gotten in to a habit of drawing their away games and winning home games recently, but I have them to win this one at just under evens.

I´m on Swansea and a Combo with Middlesbrough and WestBrom...
Swansea not with the luck on his Side in last 2 Games. Specially the Game againts Hull was unlucky for them. 3 Goals against them very late in 10 Minutes. Against poor Away Team Wigan i see them Grab all 3 Points.

MATERA-REGGINA - What can happen? The hypotheses and all the regulations
24.12.2018 18:27  by  Redazione Tuttoreggina  Twitter:  @tuttoreggina     The players of Matera have officially called the strike for the day of December 26, when the match against Reggina is scheduled . Of course, you have to go slowly with the headlines " do not play, 0-3 at the table ", because it would serve to know the rules.
What could happen? In any case, the Reggina must leave for Matera and must present itself at the XXI Settembre stadium in the timetable in which the race is scheduled, at 2.30 pm.
WHO SCIOPERA - The players who signed the appropriate form to the AIC union join the strike, the others have only the right to speak and, if necessary, are not protected in relation to the right to strike (but here we go into other subjects ...). Basically it can not strike all registered players who have an existing contract of apprenticeship or youth, therefore, all players with a professional contract.
WHAT MAY HAPPEN - If the players of Matera (always remember, those who have joined the Italian Footballers Association) confirm their desire to strike, the company may decide not to show up or deploy in the field training Berretti. In the past few days, both Ghirelli and his deputy Tognon had been clear: "We do not accept any request for postponement of matches".
CASE DIFFERENT FROM PRO PIACENZA - Matera is a diametrically different case from that of Pro Piacenza. The Emiliani do not have, to date, even a stadium where to dispute their internal competitions, since the Garilli was banned then were not paid a few installments of rent. The Piacenza company then never thought about the possibility of deploying the Berretti and the coach of the youth training has excluded this eventuality for the next challenges.
