Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Lionidas]

Wow...  If none of you think Wenger should go, take a look at the score line now vs Brighton.  It's on HT now, and they still could win this from behind.  But just wow...

It's a meltdown.  I don't think the players are motivated to play for Wenger anymore.

Wenger should go but the old guy still is there after dodging the bullet for many many years of not getting sacked.

A big match is coming up EPL.It's Chelsea vs Man City.Manchester city is the current leader of EPL and Chelsea is on no 5.Though city is far behind from rest of all the team but they can't take Chelsea easily.They are in very good form and they have made a draw against Barcelona recently.But my favourite on this match is Man City.Because they are passing a good time On EPL and most probably they will win this year title also.So,I will bet for Manchester city.

Normally a match between Chelsea and City is supposed to be very exciting but this seems a deadrubber match.

Chelsea is already out of title race and I'm sure thier players would have already conceded defeat.

Conte and his tactics are not working and he has no dressing room support, can Chelsea yet do a Goliath, well Willian's and Hazard two can.

I expect city to win 3-0, if Chelsea fight back 2-1.

I am expecting something big from Chelsea this night. I hope they will fight hard for the sake of prestige and open the chances to be the big four at the end of the season. I want to see them perform in the champions league next season.

Chelsea just might be able to pull out a win against this strong Manchester City team.
They just might upset the party of solidifying their place atop the EPL table giving hope to their brothen in United.

Arsenal was simply awful in the first half today. The score line was better than they deserved. It could have been 4:1 for Brighton easy by the halftime whistle.

I am not sure Wenger is the only problem but it is easier to change the coach then half of the team. Arsenal bought one of the fastest strikers in the world and then they don't play a single ball he can run to. Body language from the players was awful as well, so yes he should go. If they continue playing like today they will not qualify even for European League.

It doesn't looks like it though, Manchester City is in the lead with 1 goal, at the current stage of the match, I don't think its will be possible to win the way Chelsea is playing. Only 10 mins left with may be 3-4 mins ET, so it does looks tough, but as its football, nothing is impossible. Lets see what will be the score, but I think this will be the score till the end.

they were lost already and lost against mediocre team doesn't so good for Arsenal while they need to win to keep their chance for playing on champion league next season but they were several times lost and i think 2 times in a row Arsenal won't playing on champion league so this the right time to the owners make a decission for Wenger future

It's the right moment to sack wenger, the players were played well , their quality aren't in doubt, just the strategy and atmosphere in the club have to change, otherwise arsenal might won't be able to play at european competition next season.

This month is a very tough month for Chelsea who continues to be in a row facing big teams. Even last night was Chelsea again get defeat from Manchester City with a thin score. Beforehand, I bet on Manchester City's victory in order to make a profit because I believe that Chelsea has not really got a solution to the problems they face since the beginning of 2018.

The final scoreline was Manchester City 1 - Chelsea 0. Manchester City are sitting comfortably at the top of the league table, and have extended their lead to 18 points. Chelsea had a very defensive approach and the half time score of 0-0 seemed to justify their approach. But one goal right after half time was all it took for them to lose this match.

Yeah it was another great win for Man City and like you said they extend their lead to 18 points now. I was hoping Chelsea would of played a more attacking game and try and score more often but it seemed that they came to play for a draw. I lost my bet on both teams to score but I'm glad that Man City got the win being a City fan. I think Chelsea will find it very tough now to finish in the top 4 after Tootenham winning and as we know Chelsea do have a tough month ahead.

yeah I had a feeling that Chelsea will fail to score this time. Because they have so many problems in attack and they can only relay over Hazar or Willian to score their goals and if these too players are out of shape no one will step up also City have a pretty good defense very line. Now the journey for the fight for top 4 will be much more difficult I knew from previous rounds ago that Chelsea will find themselves out of top 4 after these though fixtures now they need to work much harder to minimize the 5point gap between them and Spurs but I doubt that Tottenham will give them chance. Chelsea will most likely to finish 5 this season while other 3 teams will be in Championsleague next season the only difference will be their order.

Christ what a murderous week. Lost every single one of my bets, couldn't even get my usually reliable recoveries from Liverpool. Chelsea's been rediscovering their goal scoring in the past several games (or was it just an on-form Willian?) so I was really surprised at Conte's tactics yesterday. City have a good defence yes, I mean they'd have to have one after investing those millions this season but Liverpool and others already showed the way - go at their defence, harry them and they panic. They've been having it so easy they're unused to people coming at them.

Personally, it'd be amazing to have Spurs in CL again instead of Chelsea or Arsenal. Show that money don't buy everything, and show that it's time for the other London outfit to shine in Europe.

Honestly I agree with you, it'd be nice to see Spurs get ahead of Chelsea in the CL spot this year. Pochettino has done well over the last 4 years, you can clearly the progress and the stuff he is building - only missing a trophy to his name. If he got massive money (I don't know if that is his philosophy) he would have won something by now. Honestly Arsenal don't spend soo much as compared to Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and even Liverpool, their problem is clearly Arsene Wenger, he needs to leave, fresh style needs to come in. He's done well for them. But yea, Spurs and Harry Kane deserve continuous lime light for their hard work.

P.S: Sorry for the week... Cheer up

I think Spurs will manage to claim Champions League spot this year. I like the way they play consistently for the 3rd season in the row. They will be in front of Arsenal this season for sure. Probably in front of Chelsea as well. With some luck they could even attack 3rd or 2nd spot. Especially if they lose their upcoming match with Juve and therefore can focus entirely on premier league. In other words: The time has come for Spurs to be no. 1 in London.

I am expecting some sort of surprise in tonight game as well. Maybe Crystal Palace can get a point with low scoring draw. Still haven't picked a bet for this one but I am leaning towards first half draw @2,4, full time draw @4,30 or Palace not to lose @2,70.

[cazkooo]

their problem is clearly Arsene Wenger, he needs to leave, fresh style needs to come in. He's done well for them.

Too bad for him, I respect him but it is true that his time is up. He is no longer the mastermind anymore. He is still decent coach but for a competitive league like premier league, you need to constantly change and adapt to the new strategy. So far arsene wenger has done nothing sort like that and only handle it the same way he did 5 years ago

I am not sure Wenger is the only problem

He is.  For many years, Arsenal couldn't really pinpoint what was wrong and why couldn't they dominate the league or consistently win trophies...  I think now they do.  It's Wenger.

He's like the 'Everton David Moyes'.  Everton under him was good enough to be a mid table club and that's it.

Wenger with Arsenal was good enough to consistently be in the top 4...  But now it looks like it's gone.  Time for a change.

[buwaytress]

@tokeweed:
Ok confirmed then for pool/utd to finish season higher! I believe whoever wins the game next Saturday will eventually finish second but hear, hear, Mourinho says the title fight isn't over ( he's right of course, fat ladies sing on the final game). Just a pity Arsenal and Chelsea couldn't make the run in more exciting.

So that's 2 side bets we got. Don't worry I got $20 stashed away for you tokeweed!

@trofo thanks man. Don't worry about me, I never feel down when I lose bets. Thanks Liverpool for giving me the experience to get through heartbreaks...

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Crystal Palace 1-2 Man Utd
That’s what I put in hilarious’ betting pool any way. I’m pretty sure Man Utd won’t drop points in this match.

Irrespective of the players at his disposals, i don't think that Arsene Wenger can effect any change at Arsenal anymore and he has definitely lost the plot and the only thing that will stop him for being fired is by winning the Europa League and that i believe is way out of their leagues.

If Liverpool helped you get over losses, imagine what Arsenal could've done 

Crystal Palace vs Man United

Both teams need a good result today. A win for Crystal Palace means getting out of the relegation zone, and a win for Man United means 2nd position and 2 points above Liverpool. So I can see Manchester United taking advantage of Crystal Palace's urgency to get some points today. I'm going for Man United to Win @1.44 and Over 2.5 Goals @1.90.

I do feel the same but lets consider the number of games these guys have played before this meeting against Brighton, they had a tough game against Manchester city and am sure most of its top players need some rest for now but because no one is capable the same tired team has to be used as its a call of duty but should they lose the next game Wenger won't dodge this bullet.

Manchester United will surely make the most of this match to gain victory in order to compete for the second place at the end of the standings, let alone Manchester United still seeking the composition of his best players to get consistency game. I will bet this match ends with a score of more than 3 goals.
