Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Dux2K]

I just watched the Man United vs Everton preseason match.  They say Mourinho's style of football is boring.  Well there was nothing boring about that game.  I think it's just the media hating on Mourinho comparing him to the more attacking minded managers like Pep.  And we read that, that makes us have the same opinion of him.  But when you watch his games, they are far from boring.

It's because MU have many good attacking players, so using defensive style was not a wise choice for him. Well it's still pre season match, we could take a look at the first season of Louis van Gaal became MU coach, which MU won ICC in pre season but failed in official tournament.

yeah manchester united couldnt be judged over a freindlies as big teams dont show their full strengh in those matches an also they tend to give younger players a chance to play in first team so if we would see MU true face it will be against Leicester in The next few days

Mainly that kind of teams use all possible players and try many different combinations to make team in full for upcomming matches

You found nothing boring about a 0-0 testemonial match? What kind of game do you find boring then

Do you not like seeing goals?

Do you even actually watch how the players play?  United played really well, especially in the first half.

If found the Liverpool vs Chelsea preseason game boring, if you must know. 

it was boring, because all players of Everton were hurt in front of his goal, and was defended by most of the time.
it can be seen that the MU team has not yet complete organized, but play much better than last season

[155UE]

open season open match
open big match i like this game
very dificult match in open season to arsenal and liverpool
Arsenal v Liverpool   
Chelsea v West Ham United   
Everton v Tottenham Hotspur   

Never know who to bet on when it comes to Arsenal or Liverpool so I would go with a draw on that one.
I always like watching the Hotspur play as they are strong squad so I say they will this match from a good Everton team.
And if Chelsea will continue their losing ways this season then I will go with West Ham as the dominate team in that match up.

Great fun to watch the season openers!

It's true we can't judge any team in preseason friendly matches, because every team play relaxed game in these kind of encounters where they have nothing lose, I think this was match was nothing more than a practice match, the real action will begin after few days when every team will go real battle into this league.

There's value in watching the preseason games if you intend to be betting on them regularly when the season starts.  Like for example with United, they played well but you can tell that some of the players don't quite get the timing with Ibra yet.  There were a few thru balls that weren't timed well by the forward runners.  In time we'll be seeing a lot of assists from Ibra if they get the timing right.  I'm sure there are quite a few more of these instances.

In this weekend's game I hope Ranieri starts Vardy and Musa in a 4 - 4 - 2.  I like the Man United defense based on what I saw preseason.  But they would have a hell of a time with Musa + Vardy.

Manchester united seems to be much better now in defending however they wont win the game just by defending alone. They needs to attack and based on their last game against everton , I do have some other preference than what mourinho displayed and I think they do still needs better attacking though

I think Manchester City will win there first match because they are at home and they have a good record at home playing the first match of the season. The Arsenal v Liverpool match will be a great game and I think Arsenal will also win as it is there home game. I can't wait for this season to start as there are so many teams that can win the Premier League this season. 

a chance to get the Premier League title this season is open to all teams. they will always try to show an interesting game on a weekly basis and supported by world-class coaches who are in the Premier League.

Yes agree with you, every team have chance to win the title
but what makes me curious about leicester, can they keep the title as defending champion

I'm almost certain that this will not happen. Last season the big teams were in a bad moment, it won't happen again this season.

[DeathAngel]

Losing Kante is a blow for Leicester, there are rumours they may lose Mahrez to Arsenal too.

I don't think they will defend their title but that new guy Musa looks good, they could get top 4.

I totally, TOTALLY agree.  It was weird last season.  There was something obviously wrong with Chelsea.  Man United were underperforming under LVG.  Man City got their fair share of variance and things didn't go their way.  Arsenal is well, Arsenal.  I think Tottenham had a good season but it wasn't enough.

You have to admit, Leicester got lucky many many times last season.  It's not gonna happen again this year.  It was a fluke.

new players has showing good performance during pre season matches but if the main players will leave Leicester i'm very doubt they could be in the top 4 because playing on champion league and EPL at the same time is very difficult to maintain the performance especially for small teams such as Leicester

lol are you sure new players has showing a good game during the pre season? Leicester city played very poorly, always suffered a major defeat and conceded 8 goals in two games.

Let's just watch the Community Shield.  Let's see what both clubs got ahead of this season and what to expect from both of them.  I'm sure Mourinho would love to win this as it's his first real game with Man United.

Leicester will not be the same team without Kante in the middle, so they will face a lot of difficulties in the center of the field. Meanwhile, United are much better than the last year with Mourinho, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan in the squad, so I expect the Red Devils to win this game and trophy.

I think that to mnu is much better then last season
Also think that is better to place under 2.5 goals

We need a little more faith in Leicester. The children themselves still show a good side. Small teams, this is nothing she said.

You are absolutely right some time this create problems for teams like Leicester because they have nothing like big teams many time they have very low rank in next season for this year I am feeling they will not in top ten they can lost confidence badly if they lost good players

[erwin45hacked]

Getting into top ten should not be a problem for ranieri. If he could won premier league last season, he should be able to finish as the top ten this season. Leicester still needs to make alot of improvements especially after selling their star players however when the times comes they could turn into one of those top club in premier league

while the summer was not good enough for Leicester for the previous two friendlies lost with 2-4 against Barcelona and 0-4 against PSG after awful defensive performance. Robert Huth is suspended and will miss this game, while Vardy was injured, but should be back in the squad.its not promissing for them to face MU tomorrow so my exeptation for them is to lose especialy when MU have huge exeptation for the game and they have the full squad exept for Schweinsteiger is still injured and out

Yeah that's why leicester won't sell riyad mahrez to arsenal if he go to another club, leicester would be hard to playing same on level they've show last year.

Yeah, i also favoured Manchester United on this match versus Leicester. Man United is in a good shape and in the other hand Leicester City pra-season not good enough.
