Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[DIA7]

Norwich is not the team that can get points from Liverpool, but it will be hard to stay in this form till the end of Premier league season, bearing in mind that CL will be in final stage, still i do think that until the title is secured formally, Premier league is a top priority for LFC

Aside from that, Liverpool doesn't have any free points to offer to Norwich. The target has always been to get all full 3 points. Winning the premier league is on top of our priority list at the moment and Norwich won't be able to stand it our way. This year, We're pushing limits. Regardless of the fact that we would face Athletico Madrid in the champions league, winning the premier league still remains on top of our priority list. But it doesn't mean we'll lose easily to Athletico Madrid though.

Norwich got all 3 points from Manchester City guys,,, do not forget that. Football is round and any team that can play hard and take their chances can have an amazing day, especially when the opponents do not have an amazing day;)

Nothing is taken for granted and I am sure Klopp and Liverpool knows this.

Norwich are sitting rock bottom with 7 points behind the safe zone so it will be so difficult for them to win over Liverpool especially when they have the worst defense in the league and second worse attack which is will not be good for them when you see liverpool destroying better teams with their second team like they did to Everton so j expect from the game to end a 2-0 win for the reds.

This season surely belong to Liverpool I am sure they will beat Atletico Madrid as well because now they are not good as they was few years back even they are fighting hard in La Liga for next year Champions League spot against Getafe and Sevilla I am feeling Liverpool will go with Double this season without any big trouble.

And the good news from LFC is Their Striker Sadio Mane ready to play this saturday against Norwich also when Champion League against Atletico, so their chances are greater to win both matches.

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1240254/Liverpool-news-Jurgen-Klopp-Sadio-Mane-injury-update-Norwich-Atletico-Madrid-rumours

Sadio Mane is their best player, possibly on a par with Van Dijk. I love to watch him play, Africa must be so proud of him. Atletico will be a tough game but they’re not the team they once were.

[tokeweed]

Liverpool is unbeatable all this time. I think that in this game they are going to lose points.
Champions League games are coming and I think that Klopp will start being more focused on those games, doing some rotation in the next Premier League games.

I seriously doubt Klopp will risk losing any points in the EPL this year.  There are three days between the match at Norwich and the match in Madrid, plenty of time for travel and rest.  This will be an easy victory for LFC, and they are hungry for the points and setting records.  If you're trying to convince yourself that taking the odds on Norwich is a smart move, nothing I say will stop you, but don't bet the rent money.

And at least pick a better club if you're really wanting to bet against Liverpool.  Lolol.  I mean Newcastle with Steve Bruce and Sheffield United with Wilder are two that could outfox Klopp and a squad that could be starting to feel the fatigue.

Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.

But the FA or UEFA doesn't give you any extra awards/silverware for going unbeaten in the league :/

The EPL title is already a massive achievement for Liverpool, but their next target should be winning the CL (back-to-back), not becoming the new "The Invincibles". Going all-in on the unbeaten run (as in being afraid of dropping points so they field the best starting XI vs Norwich or any other team three days before a CL match) would look to me like Klopp & Co are being tryhards.

True, but it's still something everybody will talk about and it's a title not many achieve regardless of whether it comes with any silverware or not. There's also no guarantees that Liverpool will win the Champion's League either, and if not, going unbeaten in the PL is something to add on to their domestic title. There's no reason why they can't go for both either.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’d love to win the title & the CL, if it’s a choice between being unbeaten in the PL & getting that gold trophy or maybe resting players before CL games in an attempt to win the double I’d rather do the latter.

Any way, our back up players do a good job any way, for example if Klopp decides to play the likes of Keita, Lallana, Milner & Origi against Norwich with the CL game in mind next week we’ll beat Norwich any way.

Everybody needs to be match fit & sharp to try & win the CL any way so there win’t be too much rotation by Klopp.
We need 6 wins to officially become PL champions, it’ll be done by April.

CL will also be the next target after winning the EPL this season because the trophy title is in sight, so even if opponents are stronger than Liverpool they are still able to face it like last season and now Liverpool are stronger unbeaten in the domestic league this course will carry over to the next UCL match.

Norwich got all 3 points from Manchester City guys,,, do not forget that.

Liverpool and Manchester City aren't on the same level this season, while City have struggled for form, Liverpool have been taking the league by storm and still look set to continue, breaking numerous records on the way. And also when City played Norwich, Norwich were in good form then, but that form seem to have faded off as the season went on, so this game is a different game for the both teams.

Sadio Mane is their best player, possibly on a par with Van Dijk. I love to watch him play, Africa must be so proud of him. Atletico will be a tough game but they’re not the team they once were.

It's going to be difficult to choose between Mane and Virgil who's the better player for Liverpool, I'll choose mane because of the number of goals he scores. If Liverpool are to beat Athletico Madrid, then Mane would have a pivotal role to play.

Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.

But the FA or UEFA doesn't give you any extra awards/silverware for going unbeaten in the league :/

A golden trophy will be presented to them if eventually they stay unbeaten in premier league,  it was given to Arsenal back then in 2003-04 Premier league season, it's a unique achievement if you ask me, it's worth playing his first team,  regardless of the club he's playing in the Epl,

Even if you are given a golden trophy this will be forgotten in two years.
The win of the title will be remembered neither the unbeaten record nor the number of the unbeaten games Liverpool endured. Not point for me to play with his first team, it is better to do some rotation and win the Champions League along with the premier league. This would be a bigger achievement.

As a real Football lover, if you are being asked that who won the premier league with an unbeaten run,  I'm sure if 100 football lover are asked 90-95% will know it's Arsenal.

The unbeaten run is still being remembered today because it's not easy to have such record in such a competitive  league like Epl  the total number of title won by a club cannot be easily remember,  but you can easily recall that a certain team won a trophy unbeaten

[Furious 7]

It's going to be difficult to choose between Mane and Virgil who's the better player for Liverpool, I'll choose mane because of the number of goals he scores. If Liverpool are to beat Athletico Madrid, then Mane would have a pivotal role to play.

Both of them are very much needed in Liverpool, especially when dealing with Atletico Madrid this month, Mane is an outstanding striker and Mohamed Salah has an important role in the match.
I think that if these two attackers will play and play against Atletico Madrid it will be easier.

Well, there you go, tomahawk9. Who doesn't want a golden trophy?

No it won't. People still talk about Arsenal's "Invincibles" team. You don't even need to say their name and people know what you mean by The Invincibles. Liverpool are also on track to to beat the Premier League points record and people still talk about City doing that and being the first team to get 100 points which was a huge achievement and will be again if Liverpool do it and maybe even surpass that. If Liverpool win the league and break records I can guarantee you people will still be talking about this for years to come.

I haven’t seen much of Atleti this season but a quick look at La Liga tells you that they’ve played 23 & only won 10. I appreciate that Simeone is a great manager but Griezmann is gone, Godin isn’t there any more. They’re not the same team that got to two CL finals a few years ago.

Results over the last 2.5 seasons tell you LFC are one of the best, if not the best team in the world. Over 2 legs LFC will definitely be stronger.

Liverpool is the most stable team when I look at all the top leagues in Europe. They play really very extraordinary with the coordination that is built between the lines. Maybe they will not be beaten for the English Premier League this season

I watched few of Atleti games and they are totally uninspired going forward. It's not that they are missing the chances, they don't even create them. Defensively they are still very good team but they have lost that small bit of cutting edge in that part as well.

[DeathAngel]

I think Liverpool could score a couple of away goals in the 1st leg, if that was to happen it’d be pretty much all over before Atleti even get to Anfield.

[Ulven]

Yes, Liverpool will try to score many goals against Atletico, And Simeon relies in his tactics on the back roles, Therefore, Klob must manage the match with the participation of Salah and Mani from the  start So he can visit the goalkeeper. I think the match will know one goal or a tie without goals!!!

In general, I agree with your assessment, but you should not forget that you can’t go all season (or this very rarely happens) to go on the same level. It seems to me that Liverpool will still experience a period of deterioration of the game, although this, obviously, will not prevent from becoming a champion.

[tomahawk9]

I’d love to win the title & the CL, if it’s a choice between being unbeaten in the PL & getting that gold trophy or maybe resting players before CL games in an attempt to win the double I’d rather do the latter.

I was starting to believe that Liverpool fans would prefer getting that unbeaten run achievement over the chance of fighting for the CL title again. Good to know that there are some fans who actually prefer the double (and who wouldn't want the treble?).

Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.

But the FA or UEFA doesn't give you any extra awards/silverware for going unbeaten in the league :/

Well, there you go, tomahawk9. Who doesn't want a golden trophy? 

I-I didn't know anything about a golden trophy D: I gotta admit that it is pretty nice, but, i don't know, does it actually justify risking VVD, Allison, or Mane getting injured before a CL game?  Maybe, maybe not...but the fact that your first Premier League title could be a freaking golden trophy..kinda hard to let that chance slip by, i'll give you that 

[DireWolfM14]

Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.

I agree, that's why I doubt Klopp will do any rotations this weekend.  They've gotten this far going unbeaten, and with only 13 games left in the season and not much contention in their upcoming schedule, it seems they can easily set the records and take the league without a loss.  Klopp can probably taste it.  I hope he doesn't sacrifice the CL, but I have a feeling he's looking at making EPL history this year.  LFC can do it with many more wins than the Gunners had in 2003-04, we're witnessing the new "Invincibles."

I haven’t seen much of Atleti this season but a quick look at La Liga tells you that they’ve played 23 & only won 10. I appreciate that Simeone is a great manager but Griezmann is gone, Godin isn’t there any more. They’re not the same team that got to two CL finals a few years ago.

It's hard to predict the results of an international match across leagues, but it seems fairly obvious that LFC is the better team.  The way LFC dominated the CL last year, and with their unbeaten streak in the EPL extending well into last season are a demonstration how dangerous they are.  I could easily see the match in Madrid going 0-2, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Yeah kinda hard to let such chance slip by,  despite the fact Arsene Wenger had a almost a bad record towards leaving Arsenal,  the unbeaten run he had then will be forever remembered.

Lots of different managers had coached Liverpool,  but if Klopp could make could go unbeaten this season,  I think he's gonna be the most successful coach to ever coach Liverpool, winning Ucl last season and being undisputed champion this season,  that's will be awesome!!!

[Upgrade00]

It's going to be difficult to choose between Mane and Virgil who's the better player for Liverpool,

Mane is an outstanding striker and Mohamed Salah has an important role in the match.

I must say Roberto Firmino is one of the most underrated players for Liverpool so far this season. He is an invaluable player and his contributions especially in away fixtures has helped Liverpool to pick up vital points on the road and also the Club World Cup.
Not taking anything away from the rest of the players, there are six many stand out performers as is expected in the squad of potential league champions.
