Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[tokeweed]

Mourinho will almost certainly park the bus when they play Man City. It’s what he’s always done throughout his whole career. The cowardly approach has brought him success in the past, he won’t change.

I wonder why most people would think this.  Maybe even Mou knows this.  He'll do the reverse psychology thing and go all out.  Remember Chelsea vs United?  That was a brilliant game by Mou.

But I don't think he'll be able to out fox Pep.  And that City team is just too good.

And I don't think 'cowardly' is the right word.  Conservative?  

Mourinho parked the bus in that game as well and he only went on the offensive when they were trailing behind. He will not go all out until Manchester United concedes a goal but even with his defensive, He will be using the counter attack in the game.

I mean the game last season when Herrera was assigned to keep pressing Hazard, not allowing him to touch the ball...  That was a master class by Mou imo.

Go watch that game again and know what I'm talking about.

And if you really think Mou will park the bus, wanna bet on that then?  10 bucks says United will be going all out.

The point difference between Chelsea and Liverpool is 4 points. There is still a chance for Chelsea to overtake Liverpool as long as they can maximize the points in the remaining eight games and hope the top teams, especially Liverpool, to stumble in their matches.

Tell you what, eight games is 24 points. Forget Chelsea alone, even Arsenal have a chance to turn their season around. Apart from City, who seem to have found a formula for consistency, every team in the top 6 or 7 have been struggling to maintain form, every one of them are stumblers. Even Liverpool who matched City in January for most points gained now find themselves in a rut of their own doing. Funny how one game changes everything!

Five matches today, most of television will be tuning in to FA Cup where the good bets also are. Remember upsets are what that cup is all about so I won't mind betting small on draws there.

Liverpool should make the gap 7 points temporarily, meaning Chelsea have that mountain to climb for 3rd place... Conte and co are battered but Willian will carry his team for the rest of the season.

I thought there are 6 matches?? 4 in the league and 2 in the FA cup.

I agree that we could have upsets in the cup today but I didn't have the balls to take a bet on those games. I decided to go for Bournemouth win in the league combined with little Primera and tennis (Valencia win and Federer 3.5 handi).

With the FA Cup being set with a solid performance by Tottenham Hot Spurs with a 3 - 0 lead they have this one taken with the help of Christain Eriksen filling in for an injuried Harry Kane for the rest of the month scoring two of those goals.
While he is off to the side lines there is talk he is going to might make a move to Manchester City during the off season:

Tottenham Hostspurs have become a breeding ground for Manchester City and if Hotspurs wants to be a Premier League great, they shouldn't be selling their best players to their opponents.

a quattrick, an assist, Mo Salah today. The incredible game of Mohamed Salah, he destroyed Watford's single handedly. Back to victory lane, Liverpool continue to enliven the hunt for second position. Mohamed Salah is away in the top scorer battle, 28gol now on his debut with Liverpool, Fantastic.

Great Victory for Liverpool but they should really forget about even trying to take over the second position from Manchester United and i also do hope that with such a wonderful season that he is having, He really wins some trophies because the personal accolades doesn't amount to a lot though.

BTTS seems become your way to have fun and get some luck , I won't blame you . I frequently do that , think that it would easier to win it as long as the away opponent strong enough in attacking, still it's always about luck in the end.  2 win 2 lost for your prediction , not bad but you still lose some isn't it? Mo salah become the first player to score 4 goals in a premier league game since Suarez back in 2013 , what a lucky guy ! Yeah all of the 28 goals this season smells like just a lucky  .

[cakravothy]

salah very good performance
meet watford, salah create 4 goal, strong candidate top score, rival salah hary kane can't play because injury until 6 weeks

Liverpool thrashed Watford and for now they are in the third position, overtaking Tottenham.  Mohamed Salah literally toyed with the defence of Watford, scoring 4 goals. The gap between Liverpool and Chelsea has also widened, although Liverpool have played one more game than both Chelsea and Tottenham.

In the absence of Kane and Aguero it's a great opportunity to Salah for exploiting he is now scoring from half chances and if they continue like this they should have no problem finishing in top 4. Playing in games like these was something worrying got Liverpool they used to blow some points away when they play against middle table teams I was surprised that they kept clean sheets against Watford today this is the third Clean sheets at home in row but I think that the reason is that Watford created only few dangerous plays they were not lucky enough to score. Next week the reds should have an easy win against palace before facing City in UCL.

I was sort of in disbelief when I saw the score sheet of todays game for liverpool.
5-0 with four of those goals from one player.
I do not think even the great Harry Kane managed to do this in a single game as I have seen him score three and that was in a rainy game.
Since Kane is out with that aling injury it looks like the race to who scores the most goals in the season is getting tighter with Salah throwing down the gauntlet to his feet.

Seeing Mo Salah's and Kevin De Bryune's performances this season, I am still very surprised how Mourinho let these two go. He's complaining yesterday about players. Who will trust him with quality players when he has let them go in the past? Who will trust him with quality players, when he coming to play defensive football with them. The guy has lost the plot and it's time for him to go top PSG.

Totally agree. Add to this selling of Mata and Lukaku from Chelsea and buying of Romelu in MU and it seems that Jose is systematically degrading during last 7 years after leaving Inter.

Wigan surely will make it in the FA Cup.

But will Leicester too? Chelsea is not doing that great recently, but they still are in the top 5 and still have tradition.

i think that Salah didn't get his full shot at Chelsea and that for good reasons that season Chelsea had good number of quality players and Mourinho didn't want to take risk and change things also with plenty of talented players they have back at that time there was no time to give to them. And now for United I don't think that is a good idea to sack him there is some improvement against last season but it's not the improvment that is expected. We all know that United have most of their income coming from sponsors and if they don't see that the club is balanced they will start going to the other way United needs to keep Mourinho for one more season to show that they are working with a plan.

You mean like how Fergie let go of Pogba to Juve for free...?  

And it's not about 'who he let go in the past' or his complaints...  It's more on the United players.  Did you watch their game vs Sevilla at home?  It was like the squad wasn't there to win...  I don't think that's all the manager's fault.

Pogba leaving for Juventus can largely be attributed to Mino Raiola who wanted to make sure that his client was paid a very huge salary something that Ferguson wasn't ready to do and even when Manchester United were going to re-sign him, They wanted a clause that will make Pogba the highest earning player at all times. Even though Mourinho's tactics was at fault there, so was the passion of the players.

FUUUU Wigan lost
