Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Trofo]

Should be some interesting games today. My top pick both for watching and betting is Chealsea vs. Leicster. I see this as a high scoring game ending with result like 3:1. I will add to that something from the other leagues.

Anyway, today is just a warm-up. Can't wait for tomorrow derby between city and liverpool.

Nope.  There were lots of interesting (and unexpected) results tho.  Lol.

I lost another bet, meh...  I think I'm jinxed this year.  I'm def not saying I'm a shark or anything but after a decent year last season, sometimes I just can't believe I could run this bad this year.

That happens to me as well, I am wining and losing in streaks. Unfortunately, I am also on the losing side for now but let's stay optimistic. Tomorrow is another day and if in the game between Liverpool and City there isn't at least 3 goals I will give it a break for some time

Chelsea - Leicester GG & Tottenham - Everton GG

Antonio Conte is currently 2-0 against the current manager of Leicester City Claude Puel. Considering that Chelsea are unbeaten against Leicester City in their last four games, i think that outcome of today's game will be a win for Chelsea.

Unfortunately not, Only 1 point earned by Chelsea and Leicester city. Unbeaten records are still awake, but they can not win, not something to be proud of right? Action against Leicester City logically should be a 3-point auto game for a team like Chelsea, but the reality is not like that. Leicester City played well and managed to hold Chelsea and grabbed 1 point

Chelsea is not the same at the new year 4draws in row and not to able to score in 3 consecutive fixtures is warning signs that something is not working and that is either get another Striker that can compete on Morata with starting or change the 3 defenders formation back to more offensive focused game and I'm wondering when the other teams will move for Mehrez I belleive he is on a great level and he needs a bigger team to show up his potential he was the star of the game where he did the trick in the defense of Chelsea, especially Rodiger and Bokayoko and I think that this game was the best one for Leicester away from home.

I observed the Chelsea game which slightly decreased its performance in early 2018. They always end the game with a draw, the last when faced with Leicester City. I see that there has to be an improvement over the way Chelsea's attacker is so monotonous and I think Conte should know that because it seems like his strategy is like the style of the Serie A teams and that's not very compatible with the playing style of teams from Premier League.

The next match between the City and Liverpool will certainly be the most important match of this round for the premier league fans . Liverpool will be against 1st rank holders that actually have the best attack and defense line among all teams and having a phenomenal season so far .The change in Liverpool's lines might be critical tho especially after Coutinho leaving for FC Barcelona for the highest club record sale of 140 million pound . Both City and the reds are  very strong at the moment with 17 win streak for Liverpool and a 31/33 points for Manchester City .

Tottenham totally deflated Everton, winning the match 4-0. The initial breakthrough was provided by Son and the spurs led 1-0 at half t8me. Kane slotted in 2 goals in the second half and Erikson struck 1, taking the final tally to 4-0. Rooney thought he got one for Everton, but was ruled to be offside.

Liverpool will win this as the underdogs. Coutinho's loss will not be felt, especially with the return of Lallana as playmaker, so the Fab Four remains, albeit with a less impactful player - but only because of injury. I fully expect the strongest line to be fielded - City will have to deal with the pace of Sane and Salah, while Firminho can always be expected to harry the back line.

Liverpool's own back now will benefit from new signing DVD, he already had his dream debut and will prove his worth with this game. I'm betting on a 3-0 win, I know it's unlikely that City won't score but Sterling usually is vulnerable to psychology on his return to Anfield, and you just never know how Liverpool will play after some shake ups to their squad. Besides, if City don't lose today, where's the fun?

I also believe Liverpool has good chances to win today. City has to lose points somewhere and liverpool will be extra motivated because of the way they lost first game on Etihad stadium. Only, I am quite sure City will score today so I expect a score like 3:1 or 3:2. Anyway, can't wait for the game to start, should be plenty of good football.

In the Managerial head to head statistics, Both Klopp and Guardiola have five games each and have drawn one. I am really looking forward to Liverpool inflicting on Manchester City their very first defeat of the season. The last game between them took a turn when Mane was given his marching orders. Klopp could have delayed Coutinho's departure after this was played.

[tokeweed]

^ There's a good chance that this match could be a draw imo.  And contrary to buwaytress, Coutinho is def a big loss, and with Henderson injured and Salah doubtful, Liverpool is gonna have a tough time.  But I'm not saying it's gonna be a walk in the park by City either.  It's a tough match for both clubs.

[pluMmet]

Maybe the match between liverpool and M.city will be a bit of a difficult liverpool, and I’m sure that city will win due to see the results of the city before her very convinced different with liverpool are a little having trouble in a lot of the game, but prediction with the not always the same if you see the performance of may city is superior but when in the field all can change, it would be interesting to see the game.

I would really want Manchester City unbeaten run to come to an end in today's game, their fans have been very noisy these past few week but indeed Salah is a doubt for the game today then Liverpool's chances of winning has been greatly reduced as matter of fact.

[DeathAngel]

Liverpool will beat Man City today, I have a feeling the unbeaten run of Man City ends at Anfield.

[cicciobtc]

Amazing Bournemouth for the first time in its history wins against Arsenal!
now the situation is really complicated for Arsenal: in  Premier League the 4th place is very difficult to reach and many players are leaving (Walcott, Ozil, Sanchez).
Maybe it's time to rebuild this glorious team

[Nahl]

most people including me hoping Liverpool could defeat Manchester City today and indeed the game was very tight that Liverpool has playing good in the first half with Chamberlain able to make first goal although Manchester City can equalized the score but second half is so interesting because play at Anfield i think Liverpool don't want to lost

[cicciobtc]

wonderful match Liverpool vs Manchester City, perhaps the most beautiful match this season in the Premier League!
We have seen 7 goals of which some incredible(Firmino,Manè,Salah)
We have seen a great Liverpool, but also a Manchester City that under 4-1 has risked to draw 4-4.
This match was a great show

[daarul50]

I am happy Manchester City finally suffered his first defeat this season by Liverpool although the team with the nickname of The Reds is experiencing overwhelmed in the late game. But, with a score of 4-3 to Liverpool's victory enough to be able to prove that no matter how strong Manchester City will not always win in every game. It also proves that this is football and the ball is round and spinning so that there is a time when it is above and there is also the time when under. Manchester City's first defeat will be exploited by other teams who will meet him because with the defeat then every team in the Premier League get a gap deficiency of strategy that applied Pep Guardiola during this season.

[tomahawk9]

I'm not surprised that Manchester City lost today, it was gonna happen sooner or later, what's surprising to me is that they conceded 4 goals, and 3 of them were in the span of 9 minutes. For a team that's been really solid defensively so far this season (13 goals conceded before today), 4 goals is a lot in just one game and it really caught me off guard (when was the last time Man City conceded so many goals?).
And great match from Liverpool, (especially Robertson, this guy was absolutely fantastic today), although those last few minutes , poor defensive but it was really exciting as a neutral.

On another note, Arsenal,  without Ozil, and possibly Alexis Sanchez, this team is just average and it's all thanks to Wenger.

Even though they won I’d say that Jurgen Klopp is a small minded player, after scoring four goals e should have pressed and scored even more goals but he decided to defend and that almost cost hi the win as a result. And their defense is nothing to write home about as well including the goalkeeper.

Absolutely, I bet 3-0 on this, but I knew it was a terrible gamble... anyone knows Liverpool's leaky defence can ship 3 goals on their best day, but to score the way they did against City was fantastic. When was the last time you saw Otamendi so nervy, and when was the last time you saw Moraes clear-kick the way he did (the way Salah took that down and looped the ball was an absolute dream btw)?

And on Robertson I completely agree! Can't find a MOTM to pick to be honest but I'd give a nod to our young RB, Joe Gomez let me down today though.

Anyone else feel like betting on Liverpool to win the title? Haha...

Coutinho is a huge loss, for sure, but what I meant was that he wouldn't be missed in today's game... City as expected played as openly as Liverpool did, there was no need for creative wizardry to unlock their defence. At times, even looked like a Sunday schoolboy match the way everyone was just running helter skelter.

I was quite surprised indeed, not for that they lost, it had to happen, but yup the goals conceived did shocked me. Didn't thought they would conceive goal of this amount in such a way. Though Manchester City tried there best at the end but Liverpool did put them in great pressure.
