Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[emberbekas]

I am amazed by Liverpool. Their first three matches ended with a perfect victory. Although their performance have not been tested by the big teams, at least their current achievements can inspire them to compete for the title this season.

They are they doing what every top team should be doing. All those easy match should have ended with victory and that would grant them 3 points, that means they could be much relaxed when the champions league or the local league has started. More schedule will put some burden to the player's stamina and that might cause them to sacrifice some point by benching the main player

1-1 Wolves - City.

IMO Wolves deserved the point for the amazing defensive display today, despite that small error in Laporte's goal, they were absolutely incredible in the entire match, you know you're doing something good when you have City playing long balls, first half was like that, Wolves completely nullified Mendy, a guy who has been key in the last two games for Pep's team. City was a bit unlucky (a few shots that hit the woodwork, and that free kick from Aguero in the last minute!), but still, great work by Wolverhampton.

I bet this draw against the almighty Manchester City feels like a major win to Wolves fans.

In terms of reputation, the Wolves are definitely underdogs and should be happy to get a point against Manchester City. But the way, the match panned out, I think it is Manchester City who should be happy with the point. You should remember that the score at half time was 0-0 and it is the Wolves who took the lead in this match.

Yes it was a great show by the Wolves today against one of the best attacking teams in the EPL. I just had this feeling that City might struggle to score in this match but stupid me still went with a bet over 2.5 goals which was looking good at all in the 1st half but once a couple of goals were scored quickly in the second half I thought it would come in as City had the momentum but couldn't score the winner. At least I got my bet on the Arsenal/West Ham game with over 2.5 goals. I also thought Brighton played well to hold Liverpool to just 1 goal.

Why would manchester city be happy with that? In term of statistic and performance, they are actually way ahead of wolves. They shouldnt be happy with this especially when they can win the game. Everyone was expecting it to be easy match but manchester city decided to dissapoint everyone with their poor performance

I'm sure Man City wouldn't be happy with the result against a lower ranked team however I do see where aso118 is coming from as the Wolves play a defensive game style which made it hard for City to score and also for City to go behind in the match and score an equaliser with a tough defence is why I can see that City would be happy with a point as it could of been a lot worse with them losing the game.

Within that draw, Wolves showed how tough team they are and showed to others that no one can expect easy victory against them.

I think they will avoid relegation this season and maybe even end up in mid table.
It is still too soon to predict that, but I think they should stay in Premiership for couple years.

Even though Arsenal have managed to win their first match since the start of the English Premier League with the scoreline of 3-1, but I would say Arsenal is a bit lucky in this match as the own goal conceded from a West Ham player helped Arsenal to get ahead of West Ham. In my opinion, the overall defense of Arsenal is still looking very vulnerable to me, as the players of West Ham have clearly wasted a lot of scoring opportunity in front of goals, and West Ham is just an average team in the English Premier League, so I believe the manager Unai Emery should not be too happy from this victory and he would surely need to think of some ways to improve the defense of Arsenal in order to compete for at least a top four spot on the table.

Those 2 points City lost yesterday could be huge for them in the long-run. Imagine it costing them the title? I doubt there's many games Liverpool or City will lose or draw this season so it could come down to matches like these.

I think that Manchester United need to sack Mou in favour of another coach, a good coach who knows how to put the players in field in order to get the maximum for them and who is not afraid to attack whichever team he is playing against.

But who will they get to replace him? It's never as easy as just hiring another manager and achieving instant success. Do you think if someone like Zidane went to United he would win them something straight away? I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up there and also doesn't win anything. How about if Pep swapped sides? Would he be able to turn them around? Whoever they get what if they do even worse? Sack them and try the next in line? I think both the Premier League team owners and fans should stop calling for managers to be sacked every other week. It really doesn't help and makes the culture of it worse. Why are people not calling for the heads of the players who are doing a subpar job on the pitch? It's mostly their fault and they should be to blame in the majority of cases.

I think Mou is getting old now and his ideas aren't quite clear anymore. It is a shame that such a big team like Manchester United to be in such position for some years now in the Premier League.

Nothing lasts forever. Some once big teams end up getting relegated eventually. Look at teams like Leeds United. Newcastle and West Ham were often title challengers for a bit as well but fell off. I'm not saying Man United are going to get relegated or anywhere close to that happening but the Fergie era is over and maybe now it's time for another team to dominate for a decade. It was always boring when United won everything and everybody in the country wore United shirts regardless of where they were actually from. I'm starting to see more and more City shirts these days as well. Fucking glory supporters.

It could have been alot worse but they are not really utilizing everything that they got yet, it seems to me that Manchester City was holding back for the first half thats why they are having hard time dealing with Wolves on the second half. If only they have gone more aggresive in the first half then they wouldnt really share the point

Watford - Crystal Palace BTTS @ 1.80
Fulham - Burnley BTTS @ 1.95
Newcastle - Chelsea BTTS @ 1.80

Also Newcastle - Chelsea FT Draw @ 4

I am thinking Newcastle will make Chelsea drop some points today and have a feeling the match might end in a draw so gonna try my luck with that one. Cheers!

[Barcode_]

I think the match between Fulham and Burnley today would be entertaining to watch as both of these teams would surely hope to claim 3 points in this match and I would expect the players of both teams to be playing more offensively rather than staying defensive, as both of these teams are highly likely to be wandering around the relegation zone on the English Premier League table at the end of the season, so every points would matter a lot for each team if they hope to survive for another season in the English Premier League.

I wouldn't back that personally. Watford vs Crystal Palace and Fulham vs Burnley could both be bore draws with no goals. Might be money in the draw on Newcastle vs Chelsea but I'd still back Chelsea here. Maybe 0-1 or 1-2.

[swogerino]

I think that these teams that play today are not of a great quality. I also think that Fulham will win against Burnley because Burnley is more tired because they played on the Europa League in midweek. Fulham is also eager to get the three points and this is the best opportunity to grab those points at home.

[o_e_l_e_o]

The only game I'm really interested in today is Spurs - Man Utd. I wonder if their 3-2 defeat last week will spur (pun intended ) Mourinho in to action, to actually get his players to play like a team. Also, I have Kane in my fantasy football team so if Man Utd are terrible again then I could rack up a fair few points in my league.

[tokeweed]

@toke last week you said I was out of my mind to back a draw against city but damn it I should have repeated the bet today! Lost my parlay already because Wolves/City needed to score one more, but this draw is well worth losing 0.001 BTC for me haha because at least by end of tomorrow we won't see City on top of the Premier League table (unless the other top 6 all eff up!). The season really doesn't have to end so soon so well done to Wolves for their second point of the season, if only they could have somehow kept City totally out though it was some kind of special header to be honest from Laporte... and that last freekick from Aguero at 95th... made my heart stop when it hit the bar.

Maybe their crypto sponsor is giving them some extra fire after all!

Lol.  Yup...  That was totally unexpected.  Tho Man City was unlucky hitting the wood work three times and the Wolves
were lucky to get a controversial goal.  But still, credit to Nuno's squad.  They held City.

Big match between Tottenham and Manchester United. Both team suffer loss last week and this is another chance for them to get points. BTW bro, it is not TODAY, it is on 27th and it is tomorrow. Atleast this is the scheduled that I got from flashscore and I dont think it was rescheduled

Newcastle vs Chelsea: I think Chelsea seems to be the favorite to pick up the three points they looked really good when they faced Arsenal got the game more entertaining but it was obvious that Chelsea was not so good in defense and we can say there was no defense Back there so Sarri need to work on improving it while Newcastle are of to an ok start I exepect BTTS or over 2.5 goals, there is no reason for the game not being interesting as long as Sarri keeping on his offensive strategy.

[shanem]

Chelsea offense is good having scoring 3 goals for their last 2 games. The only concern for them is their defense when they conceded 2 goals against Arsenal. Over 2.5 goals is a good bet here as Newcastle is playing at home and I can see them getting at least a goal.

Hey you're right Manchester United vs Tottenham is indeed scheduled for tomorrow, which is a shame this is such a big match and it won't happen on a weekend. I'm expecting a positive response from Manchester United, and this is a now or never match for Manchester United Mourinho win it, and he survives loose this match all his critics, plus the fans will want him out, I personally want Manchester United to win, but then in recent times they haven't played as a team, it'll be interesting which Manchester United steps out tomorrow.
