Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

@buwaytress - I think only Liverpool & City will contend for the title to be honest bro. The others drop too many points against the lesser teams. I’m in my early 30’s & I’ve never seen us win the title. The last time was 1990/91 season & I was very young so wasn’t even into football. I still think City are favourites but we have a real, genuine shot of doing it.

Will be a huge game vs Napoli on Tuesday, managed to get myself 2 tickets. I think we’ll do what’s needed to qualify. It’s then Man Utd at Anfield next Sunday, the big games just keep coming. This is what we want though, right.

I pray this is a season to remember because Kiev still hurts!

Haha impossible ??

We are top of league
Say we are top of the league

Lol.  Congrats.  A hell of a day for City to pick an off day.  But what can you do...  The next games vs the top 6 will be so crucial for City to get that lead back.  And obv they can't afford to lose points vs the rest.

If the way all the teams have been playing continues throughout, then yeah, it's just going to be Klopp amd Guardiola's men sweating it to the finish line. If that be the case, then so be it. Like you said though, the top 2 are the only ones who've dropped points only to strong teams (yes even Wolves are strong)... And yes, it's all the big games coming thick and fast that will give us the momentum. There's no other way to have it.

I'm on the latter stages of my 30s but too missed out on everything great the Reds have done, save the millenium haul of 5 and of course Istanbul, the Gerrard FA cup final, ... So there's a whole adult generation of us who've seen enough false dawns and broken dreams on the last leg. I never really got over the Gerrard slip and for sure Kiev is burning my ears.

Enjoy Napoli. I hope we let loose and go for broke. It'll be hell of a way to qualify, but whatever happens, we won't forget this season so soon... Already have last gasp famous victories at Anfield... Divock's goal, Bobby's one earlier against Paris.

Walk on, walk on...

YEAH man well deserved TOP OFF the league place .... its good they could fully profit of MAN CITY not being with complete team, hope for LFC to hold it on that first place

sorry for the OT but in belgium ... my city "antwerp" took the 2nd place come on (there playing against the youngest HAZARD right now, his nothing like the other 2   )

wtf they post HAZARD as forward

He was pretty awful as a forward, which is not surprising tbh, but the moment he decided to switch from the forward position to his natural position, a winger, Chelsea scored thanks to his assist...what a player.

indeed what a player he is

Ahhhh man, epic times. Had to sling you another Merit for this post.
Remember Gary McAllistar’s late free kick against Everton when we were fighting to get top 4 in that 2000/01 season.

Good times, man.

@micG - Go Antwerp, your gf’s brother is a pro isn’t he?

i hope many goals from LFC next week looking forward for my first visit to ANFIELD

Anybody watching Newcastle vs Wolverhampton?
I guess it’ll be a boring game, two kind of low quality PL teams but ai have nothing to do today so watching it on a shitty stream

[o_e_l_e_o]

Anybody watching Newcastle vs Wolverhampton?

I had the game on in the background while doing other stuff. Didn't seem particularly exciting but you've got to feel bad for Newcastle. The Boly elbow on Perez was a clear penalty in my opinion (https://gfycat.com/WellmadeDamagedFreshwatereel), and the second Wolves goal came in the 94th minute. Having said that though, Newcastle's defending was atrocious. Watch this replay - https://streamja.com/JZgE. 4 Newcastle defenders in front of the ball, none of them try to tackle, none of them try to even close him down or put pressure on, none of them look around and mark any of the other Wolves players. All 4 of them just run with Jota in to the box and give him plenty of space to get a shot off, and Doherty is completely unmarked for the rebound. Shocking play.

Today I think it is an interesting game between Everton and Watford. The bookies see as favourite Everton which maybe true but the fact that Watford during the beginning of the season performed really well don't let me bet on Everton to win. I think we may see a draw here in this game.

[tokeweed]

^  Tho Watford letting Silva go under bad circumstances and due to Everton's approach that might have caused Watford's deterioration last season has still left a bad taste in their mouth. 

Watford could play extra motivated for this match.

Should be a good game, think I’ll watch it tonight. Going to stop revealing my predictions now though as slaman is pulling away in our pool, he could put the same prediction as me & I wouldn’t be able to catch him

Long way to go but you know what I mean

[cluit]

I really didn't expected Chelsea to pull of a win like that. After going for so long without even losing and staying at the top of the league Man City looked like the best team in the league and really proved they were there to win it all but with just one loss now they are at second rank which shows you how difficult the premier league is.

Just one loss on 16 games and you are not number one, in any other league if you have just one loss in 16 games you are more than likely to be number one unless you had draws on half of those games.

Liverpool continues their success from last year, we all know what could have happened if Salah wasn't injured that game and there wasn't 2 silly goals but if Liverpool keeps this up I bet they will become the top 3 more consistently for a while.

A draw at Everton's place was not bad but it seems this time Everton will definitely break a goal in the first half IMO is correct,that is the goal from handsome striker Richarlison who will add points to Everton.I heard and read news Barca also want the That handsome attacker.

So, aside from the Liverpool vs Man Utd game, is anyone looking forward to any other game this weekend? Looks like it's going to be a boring weekend in the EPL, i mean, I feel like the top teams (Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Spurs) will win their respective games fairly easy so i'm not that excited to watch those games...there's the Wolves vs Bournemouth which can be quite interesting but still...I might stick to Serie A or La Liga this weekend lol

Like you said there isn't much to watch this weekend. Spanish league is always fun, there's Levante vs Barça tomorrow, if it's even half as crazy as their game last season, it would still be fun to watch

I can't think of anything else, the big games are mostly happening next week both for Premier and Spanish league..

[Barcode_]

Wolverhampton Wanderers seems to be a pretty strong team whenever they are playing at their home stadium, they have even managed to beat Chelsea before in front of their home fans, I think it would not be easy for Bournemouth to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers today, there might be a high chance we could see a draw at the final whistle in this match.

Man City vs Everton - Really hoping Everton can take something from this game today. Unfortunately I expect Man City to win comfortably which means Liverpool will have to beat Man Utd to stay top. I think we will beat Man Utd at Anfield but it would be nice if City were to somehow slip up.

[o_e_l_e_o]

but it would be nice if City were to somehow slip up.

City are having some major injury problems right now. If I'm right, Aguero, Dilva, KDB, Fernandinho, Mendy and Danilo are all injured for the foreseeable future. But I mean, having said that, they still have the likes of Sterling, Sane, Mahrez and Bilva. Kinda ridiculous they can end up with six 1st team players injured and still field an amazing team regardless.

I agree though, you will be lucky for Everton to take any points from City. A consolation Richarlison goal would be nice for my Fantasy Football team though.

[tokeweed]

^  KDB and Aguero are available from the bench but I hope Pep doesn't use KDB and risk him getting injured again.  Not vs Everton anyway...  Maybe against weaker competition.

It might be a comfortable win from Man City but if Everton will play it smoothly, maybe the tide will favor their side. Even if city is a favorite team, they are still not invincible.
