Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[cazkooo]

if Arsenal wants to become a top middle team in the EPL Emre is their man to do so, I'm afraid that we will never see them finishing top 3 anymore true They had few successful signings but it's not good enough to take them higher then they did last season the only player that will be great to watch is Aubameyang the other have already reached their peak and now they are on downhill like Ozil Cech Koscielny and many more and don't find ElNeny and Xaka quality enough to play for the gunners I'm seeing Manchester United situation all over again after SAF resigned only this time Arsenal Knows that they are screwed.

I have to admit I knew nothing much about Emery as a coach. I even did not know it was him who was responsible for Sevilla being so strong winning Europa League so many times. I am noticing a lot of Turkish descent players playing and now managing in the Premier League,,, I did not realize there was so much talent in Turkey. For me, new managers have a tough time in any league in Europe now where clubs cannot be patient.

But perhaps with Arsenal, they know how to wait a little. Wenger showed this rare patience. Let us hope Emery makes Arsenal like he did Sevilla (winners where it matters). The league, is still tough to win, though.

Most people dont and that happens to alot of coach that start their carreer in premier league. It doesnt really matter what his previous track record was because the only thing matters is the position of arsenal in the leaderboard at the end of the season. If he could get them to the top four in the first season then this will be a positive sign for the club

I can’t see Arsenal getting top 4 this season, no way. They’ve got deficiencies all over the place & a weak squad. Emery will sort them out but it’s going to take time, probably a couple of years.

Arsenal first 2 matches are against 2 big teams though, Man city and Chelsea. Man City is obviously hard to beat and let's see on Chelsea match, if Arsenal can at least make a draw, maybe arsenal can keep their top 4 or 5 spot.

Manchester City
Liverpool
Chelsea
These are the teams I think one can safely  bet on this season. Chelsea  will be looking  forward  to qualify for champion league,  Manchester City will want to defend  the league and Liverpool's  Salah and Mane are looking  very sharp.

You are right its very hard for them in top 4 this season as new coach and many new players need time for adopting now they need to work for Europa and then surely as they gain some momentum and have better options then surely in next few seasons they can join top 4 elite club here in EPL

I think Arsenal will recover in the London derby against Chelsea and I have a premonition that they will go further and win the game against Chelsea. Chelsea will miss a big star like Diego Costa so the gooners will have their chances to win, maybe a draw at worse for Arsenal during this game.

Since Diego Costa left have Chelsea not been winning  matches? Arsenal  is not getting  a point from Stamford bridge.  I don't see Arsenal in top 5 at the end of this season. Don't forget Hazard  best games are usually  against Arsenal.

it's going to be a thought match for both teams but from the first round results and the game will be played in Stamford Bridge I believe that Chelsea will have the upper hand in this game Arsenal may score in this game but I don't think that their defense will help them from stopping Chelsea to score more goals then them.
So a bet for BTTS will be good if you don't think that Chelsea will get a win I expect 2-1 win for the hosts.

I was just looking at this weeks fixtures and there doesn't seem to be a single game that interests me or I can see it being exciting:

Aug 18

Brighton v Manchester United

Burnley v Watford

Cardiff City v Newcastle United

Chelsea v Arsenal

Crystal Palace v Liverpool

Everton v Southampton

Leicester City v Wolves

Manchester City v Huddersfield Town

Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham

West Ham United v Bournemouth

Normally Chelsea vs the Gunners would have interested me but Chelsea will probably beat them easily. Same for the next round. I see Spurs will be playing both Man U and Liverpool the two following weeks. Those should be good games.

I don't. If it was at home I might have backed them to do a little better, but not at Chelsea.

Same. Can't see them getting top 5 either.

I'm going to try my luck once again this week with betting on the over 2.5 goals as there are a few games that should produce this result. Crystal Palace v Liverpool is likely along with the Manchester City v Huddersfield Town, Tottenham v Fulham and  Chelsea v Arsenal which is the one I'm a bit worried about but hopefully there will be goals scored. I'm also going to take all these in a parlay bet.

I agree with  your choice  of over 2.5.  I think there will be over 2.5 goals for the Chelsea  vs Arsenal match.  Both team to score will also be a good pick but Chelsea  to win. Manchester city will want to increase  their number  of goals and the free scoring  Liverpool  will most likely  be over 2.5.

If you parlay Over 2.5 goals in those games you should be looking at really good odds.

Good luck

What odds do you get? Maybe leave Chelsea out of it or just back them to win. I've put money on Spurs Everton and Leicester. Was thinking about doing a five fold on Chelsea Burnley Liverpool Man City & United, but I might wait to see if my threefold comes in first.

Arsenal against Chelsea this week will be the game of the week. I think that Arsenal will have the upper hand here and will beat Chelsea this time. Chelsea was not convincing in the game against Huddersfield in the first week and Arsenal had to play against the Champions in the first week. In the worse case I think this game might end on draw so draw no bet for Arsenal is my favourite bet for this game.

Indeed both the teams have many similarities, both have a new coach, they have equally struggled last season, only thing separating them is that Chelsea won and Arsenal didn't, but I won't blame Arsenal they played against Man City a team which is continuing it's ruthless winning streak.

 I'm not convinced by both teams to be frank, it should end in a stalemate perhaps a draw is a fitting for both the teams, if goals are scored I don't think it'll exceed 2 goals. If I have to choose a winner will go with Arsenal due to their new coach and his philosophy.

I wouldn't back them away, but I didn't watch either Chelsea or Arsenal's first games so I can't comment on their performances.

There is no valid "away" here as both teams are from London, at maximum they will play a few km-s away from their home stadium so the feeling of away is void here. It is the atmosphere of a derby though which cannot be trusted to bet on a single team as a derby can have 3 results in, even when teams of big gap quality play together , not teams like Chelsea and Arsenal which have a similar quality.

Arsenal kinda still has the same problems now under Emery, same as when they were under Wenger.  They need Ozil and Miki to be in the middle instead of the wings.  Both players are better AM's than wingers as they both have no
pace.

Everton and Southampton game should be an easy 3points for the hosts because I don't see any improvement from Southampton since last season and we all know how terrible they were while this Everton tean had some exciting summer and the opening game for them was very interesting despite being it ending with a draw but this time they are at home and it's unlikely that they will be going easy for their first game at home so I'm going with home win.

Yes there is. That's not how it works. It doesn't matter even if they're playing next door. They're different pitches that the away team is not used to playing on and with a stronger home crowd. Playing at the other end of the country isn't another climate either so it doesn't matter how far the stadium is.
