Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[tokeweed]

^  Hopefully they'll be uber inspired to make a great escape and finish Liverpool 4 - 0.  But football is also a battle of styles.  And Klopp's relentless gegen pressing could again prove too much for the style Pep wants his teams to play imho.

Damn...  Mou picked a 4 3 3 instead of his usual 4 2 3 1, with Pogba playing at the left of the middle three together with Matic and Herrera.

I think that's the best formation for Pogba.  Expect to see him go forward more in this match with Matic and Herrera providing cover in the midfield.

It's much better for Mou if he did this all season imo.

And still a good line up for Pep despite the changes.  Let's see how Sterling plays as the false 9.

2-0 now and should be 3-0 or possible 4-0 but Sterling missed two rushing in on net goals with overshooting the mark by a mile.
It looks like Pep Guido will be raising the Premier championship cup this day.
Wonder what the game will be like against Liverpool next week?

Yea it's 2-0 already and Manchester United play like not with enthusiasm. They play resigned, seemed to have allowed Manchester City to win the Premier League this season. At least they should think of prestige, do not let the team they often call the "noisy neighbors" lifted the trophy in front of Manchester United. I hope there's a decent fight in the second half.

Damn! Man City dominated that first half, match could've been 4-0. And Pogba, jesus christ, what the hell happened to the Pogba from Juventus? he's just so bad, but tbf the Man Utd midfield had a terrible performance, David Silva is having a field day with all that space. I think we'll see more of the same in the 2nd half.

edit: Pogba just scored 2 goals..I'll keep my mouth shut

Allowed?  Rofl.  City is like 15 points ahead dude.  Nobody 'allowed' City to win the league.  They took it.

Match is now 2-0 and the dream is now come true. Manchester city win the league if they could keep this going. At this rate , I dont even see if they will conceded two goals. Pep's strategy is a good strategy even when it dont involves some of their main player they are still winning this game. Hands up to pep for his strategy

[tokeweed]

Pogba...  Nice goal.

Edit:  WHAT DA FAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKK POGBAAAAAA!!!!!!  2 - 2!   

[JesVarez]

POOOOOOOOGBAAAAA. Didnt showed up the entire first half and what a start for this one, 2 goals in two minutes and the entire game just switched entirely, Manchester United has all the momentum now.

[tokeweed]

Wow...  Unbelievable. 

[JesVarez]

What a comeback, down 2-0 and came back 2-3. Looks like Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne are coming in the field now. Would be an interesting last 15 minutes on the game, but I believe Mourinho knows how to hold the lead.

[Lionidas]

Wow...  Unbelievable.  

Smalling came in just like Sterling had twice previous times in the first half.

Mourinho knows how to hold the fort and will have his team fouling at any chance they can get away with it.
I bet sportsbooks had lost alot on live bets with everybody picking Manchester United before the half started.

Really can't believe what we all just witnessed! I felt so nostalgic looking at United come up from 2 goals down. Could see glimpses of the old ManU team. I almost thought about switching the TV off after the first half, but those two quick goals by Pogba kept my interest going. It was always going to a fighting match and it was evident from the 9 Yellow cards given during the game.
Pogba has shut his haters down but it is too late now. City have almost won the title and if not this week, then they would definitely be crowned the champions next week.
I am wondering how this defeat would affect their mindset for the upcoming champion's league match with Liverpool.

[Wendigo]

Well I had 2-2 as the correct score before the match started and I am actually quite surprised that United won the whole thing in the end lol. I thought they were going to lose badly at half time and then the miracle happened  I am not even mad I lost the correct score bet lol

[tomahawk9]

The match went "olé olé" in the first half, to "wtf just happened?" in the second half...I love football  And what a week for City, 6 goals conceded in two matches, morale down, and now they have to face not only Liverpool in the champions league, but also Tottenham at Wembley next week.

Also, Blue Hair Pogba is best Pogba.

City's loss today is clearly as a result of Sterling's wastefulness in the first half. He should have buried the game with 4-0 by half time. That being said, take nothing away from Man Utd for fighting back. They made it an enjoyable derby at the end of the day, truly a game of two different halves. Now City have Liverpool (UCL) next Tuesday can they pull a comeback? That is why Aguero, KDB and Jesus were on the bench. And also they have Spurs away exactly a week from today, their title celebrations could further be delayed.

Man, full credit to United (and I'm a Liverpool supporter here!) they made this game a memorable one. I'm almost forgiving the countless parked buses by Mourinho just to see Pep's face at full time. Now, do you see what happens when you stop giving so much respect to City? Do you see how rattled they can easily become by a team that actually tries to go at them? Players losing their cool, yellow cards flying around. That is a proper derby, and I don't care if people think that ugly side of the game shouldn't be there. This is the Premier League and this was a derby.

Now on to betting. Liverpool couldn't score so my parlay's already lost regardless of Arsenal's game tomorrow but Newcastle gave me my unlikely away win so I'm out of this week with a small profit.

The final score does read 3-2 in favour of Manchester United and the fans should be ecstatic, especially since they were trailing 0-2 at half time. Manchester City would have expected to be celebrating their title win today, but they will have to wait. Raheem Sterling had 2 chances in the first half, and he will be ruing the fact that both chances went over the bar.

[TheDarkRide]

Two thumbs up for Manchester United which able to turn things around from losing to win. Only great teams ca do such thing.

[mostkey]

failure in betting. I am very disappointed with the appearance of the city show, this is the second defeat I received after defeating liverpool and who is now due to place a bet for city wins.
although it was replaced by a goal that was created, but it did not cut the losses I suffered in two games.

Only manchester united is able to do such epic comeback. Perhaps I will keep my mouth shut next time instead of judging them, it is better to just watch and see how they change the turn. I guess pep was nervous enough, he subsitute aguero and de bruyne into the field probably because he wants to get atleast 1 point from the match

Yeah, what a match
But, I don't think this will hit them much since they have more than enough advantage of second team.
Even Company said that celebration can wait, and that focus was on Champions League.
