Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

It really was a weird day last night, I wasn't expecting half of the results to come like this way.

First of all, Cardiff is definitely a shock but a bigger shock is probably the Hove Albion being so high at the table, I mean as a non British person I have never knew that team until I just looked it up, unless there was some name change going on I hardly think many people know who they are but they are already listed at 12 which is great for them, so yeah its weird Cardiff who has been playing badly got a win out of them but still a shock to see Hove so high.

Newcastle winning could also shock people but I believe they have a decent roster they were just unlucky recently but I really think they have what it takes to rival top half if they play well. The only other possible shocking result could be Southampton draw but honestly that just happens time to time in football.

I thought Manchester City would not have had such an easy game agains the United Manchester in the derby. I thought that because Manchester United  did beat Juventus last week and their moral was high.

It was clear though that Manchester City was a much tougher team compared to Juventus, it will be an interesting clash if Manchester City encounters Juventus in the Champions League.

I think Man City are possibly the best team in Europe atm, certainly on form & style of play. Man Utd & Mourinho are dinosaurs style wise, yeah they beat Juve but they were lucky, they could have been 3-0 or 4-0 down.

I think Man Utd will finish outside of the top 4 this season.

Indeed. I didn't expect half of the games to end with a draw (could've been six games but Cardiff scored a late goal).

I thought Manchester City would not have had such an easy game agains the United Manchester in the derby. I thought that because Manchester United  did beat Juventus last week and their moral was high.

Winning against Juventus doesn't change the fact that the team was absolutely dreadful in that game, they were lucky to get the win. And I bet the moral has been pretty high in the recent games, but it's gonna take more than that if you want to beat one of the best teams in Europe right now.

Yup, probably.  The bookies have City as the most likely to win the CL (so far) if you look at the lines for CL futures, so...

And fo sho United finishes outside the top 4.  Speaking of which, it's gonna be fun seeing Arsenal, Chelsea and the Spurs all fighting to get CL football.

1st - City
2nd - Liverpool
3rd - Chelsea
4th - Arsenal

That’s how I see it going atm mate, would love to see LFC win the title but I’m not stupid. City are so good! We beat them 3 out of 4 games last season but they just batter the small teams week in week out with ease.

[tokeweed]

^  Same, tho I could see the Spurs get fourth too, with the Gunners at fifth...  I think Daniel Levy has something brewing for the winter transfer window and spend huge.  Could be why they didn't acquire any players during the summer.

Yeah definitely, I wouldn’t put money on Arsenal getting 4th, it could easily be Spurs. If United sort their shit out though they could come 4th. They have the players but not the chemistry it seems.

I'm not even a Liverpool fan, but god, do I hope they beat City. Actually, I hope anyone beats City. Unlikely to happen though, as you say.

Spurs are really scraping by with their 1-0 wins. And they haven't really had tough fixtures so far this season. An injury to Kane and they will fall apart. Arsenal could easily take 4th from them.

And yeah, United will be lucky with a 5th place finish, let alone top 4.

We have very long season to go so right now no one can predict what will happen but as City playing they have some good edge but I can say Liverpool is very good going right now they can give very tough time in future and this could be dead heat because in EPL we can expect any surprised result from any team in any match so hopefully this will happen many times in future.

I would like to see Arsenal playing in the Uefa Champions League next season, Tottenham might be a tough competitor to compete with Arsenal for a spot on the top four in the English Premier League, but I think with the new manager Unai Emery in charge of Arsenal, they might stand a chance to push Tottenham out of the top four this season.

Yes, chances are City will be the top one until the end of the season, I think Liverpool is only good at the start and seems to be difficult at the end because the second-tier squad is not so good, with divided concentration with UCL, I think Liverpool will secure their position at EPL without too cast off their players at UCL.

The main reason for table changing will come when the main players get injured or banned and were not able to play for some games. If apart from that i dont see main reason of top teams changing position.

Yup, we’ll see what happens in this busy period between now & mid January. Lots of games coming thick & fast, plus it’s cold & wet, muddy. We’ll see who is up for the fight & who isn’t.

I believe Liverpool will be champions of England in the end of this season. In order for this to happen though there is the first and foremost condition that Liverpool wins against Machester City both games , at home and even away.

Second condition which I think is fulfilled so far is for Liverpool to make 0 false steps against so called small teams in the Premier League. That's it, if both conditions are fulfilled , Liverpool will be champions this year.

Jokanovic sacked and immediately replaced by Ranieri. A shame for Joka after leading Fulham to promotion, but understandable given their 1 win and 5 points from 12 games. I wonder how Ranieri will do though - his counter attacking style is very different to how Fulham usually play.

Still, Fulham to win the Premier League next season. You heard it here first. Dilly ding, dilly dong.

This news came out of nowhere   

Looking forward to what Ranieri can do with the team. Btw, this Fulham reminds of AC Milan from last year, the latter made a huge investment by buying A LOT of players only to end up being shite in the league, now after a year, the team is finally doing well...what I'm saying is, it took AC Milan a year for the team to finally click. I wonder if it's the same situation with Fulham, I mean, you can't expect the team to perform well when you bought like 6 or 7 new players, they need a lot of play time to get used to new tactics, time to get used to playing with the other teammates, etc.

Still, Fulham to win the Premier League next season. You heard it here first. Dilly ding, dilly dong.

LOL everyone remembers him for the EPL title, but some tend to forgot how inconsistent he's been throughout his career.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Ranieri winning the title was some kind of witchcraft or some shit. Most of his managerial career he’s been a total loser.

^  More like 2015/16 LCFC was over performing and top clubs were underperforming (weird) vs them.  And Steve Walsh, still an LCFC scout at the time, helped the club make good acquisitions. I think he was responsible for scouting Kante, Mahrez and Vardy, who were all unknowns.

I think a lot of big clubs had new managers & were in transition. LCFC caught everybody cold & everything was in a perfect moment for them. It was a great story, I don’t think anything like this will ever be seen agsin.

The gap between Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Man Utd and the rest is HUGE.
