Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[hahay]

Tomorrow we will see a boxing day matches, I am personally sure that there will be many goals in tomorrow's match and it looks like I will bet for over and / or both team to score in all matches. After watching yesterday's match with the many goals that were created, it looks like it's a clue that will likely continue in the boxing day matches that will create many goals too. Hopefully my prediction is not wrong this time!

I thought boxing day was on 31 December and 1 January but it is a good thing if we have again Premier League tomorrow. I agree with you that these games will have many goals because we are on a festive atmosphere and no team will care to play in defense, they will all be playing open football and in open football rarely we see 0-0 results.

Anybody willing to 'reboot' this thread on a new (or even a self moderated) thread?  We could ask hilariousandco to lock this and start another one for the new year.  We could also do it starting at the new season...?

December 26: Brighton vs Arsenal
Will recommend to pick Over 2.5 goals at the odds of 1.78 (or better).
Arsenal beating Burnley 3-1 was a very good result for Unai Emery, now they are 4th in the league (tied with Chelsea). Brighton's defense is not great (they lost three consecutive games), Arsenal's defense is also weakened by some injuries so I am confident we could see at least three goals in this match.

Foreign people keep thinking how amazing Liverpool is and what they are doing but they do forget what one thing; Liverpool has always been good.

I know people are used to seeing Manchester united and Manchester city and Chelsea and all that and they assume that Liverpool was always a top 7 team and so forth but Liverpool has made to champions league 5 out of 10 times in the last 10 years and that's a great result in a league like Premier League.

I mean there are only 4 teams that has a better result than that and that makes Liverpool a top 5 team in a highly competitive league. I doubt its weird they managed to create a whole team that is unbeaten with the help of a great player and an amazing manager at the helm. I just hope Jurgen could finally win an european cup, he missed barely at Dortmund and last year they were doing so well until finals and we know what happened. I hope they get the cup this year.

I think this is the first time that I've heard that the holidays could affect team performance or how they're going to play. I think they'll play like always, there's no reason for teams to change they way they play just because we're in the holidays season.

Anyways, it's gonna be a long day of football tomorrow in the EPL, 9 matches in total, i'm looking forward to watch Fulham vs Wolves, and Watford vs Chelsea, I think Sarri's team could drop points tomorrow.

Huddersfield is one of the team with the worst offense in the English Premier League at the moment, so I believe the defenders of Manchester United should not be having too much problem defending against Huddersfield today, and with the home fans cheering for the players of Manchester United at the stadium of Old Trafford, this should be an easy win for Manchester United today.

Take Man U in Asian Handicap, either -1 or bolder pick -1.5, pays pretty well indeed.
I would not rule out a play on the total goals market, perhaps Over 3 or Over 3.5.

[swogerino]

Last year the game of Brighton vs Arsenal ended in a win for Birghton 2-1.I think history will not repeat itself this time and Arsenal will win with goals difference. I think that the games of boxing day produce many goals so I am betting on Over 3.5 goals for this game.

[o_e_l_e_o]

A nice little accumulator to be had on the top teams today. Liverpool, City and Spurs should all be fairly easy wins, with combined odds of 2.15. United, Arsenal and Chelsea are a bit more risky. United should win fairly easily if their game last week wasn't just fluke and they keep up their new form under Solskjaer. I can see an upset in either of the Chelsea or Arsenal games, though. Combined odds for all 6 games are 7.6 though.

United games have had a minimum of 4 goals for the last 5 games in a row, and a minimum of 3 goals for 15/18 games this season. Given they are against 19th place Huddersfield who are on a 5 game losing streak, I think Man Utd >2.5 goals is also a fairly safe bet.

My prediction for tonight is we have 1 big upset. And I'm sorry to say it will be at Old Trafford. Huddersfield will expose their defence and then themselves park the bus and show United how it's done. Mourinho has left so they will forget how to defend and forget their secret weapon of Fellaini's elbow.

Other than that, I guess we can look at City to perhaps draw at Leicester? Arsenal or Spurs could also draw or lose. Liverpool should win easy, but Rafa will play with 11 men behind the ball, until Shaqiri unlocks it all.

Lol.  They'll prolly trash their next three opponents and start feeling and being the 'invincible Man United' again.  Which sets them up good for an away fixture vs Tottenham.    Should be good.

I went for the riskier Chelsea/Arsenal/City/Spurs parlay for over 5/1. Liverpool was barely 1.13 but I took a separate bet on a -1 Asian handicap at half time. I feel they must score early at least once, and that could either open the floodgates or trigger Rafa's superbus tactics.

Incredibly tempting to back Leicester or Huddersfield upsets as even 0.5 handicap is above 4/1 but too much at stake for either team to lose.

So far my 1-1 prediction for opening game is spot on - two promoted teams with the biggest budgets this season.

Just finished watching Fulham vs Wolves. First half Fulham deserved a lot more (Mitrovic had so many chances throughout the game) but Wolves were a lot better in the 2nd half until Sessegnon's goal. All in all, not a bad way to start Boxing Day.

My prediction for tonight is we have 1 big upset. And I'm sorry to say it will be at Old Trafford. Huddersfield will expose their defence and then themselves park the bus and show United how it's done.

If Man Utd can't beat Huddersfield who are currently at the bottom of the league table, then Solskjaer should resign right after the final whistle and the players should offer an apology to the fans in the post-match interview. Seriously though, this is a winnable game, they have to get the 3 points today.

Mourinho has left so they will forget how to defend and forget their secret weapon of Fellaini's elbow.

haha what?

Manchester City seems to be having a lot of problems during this Christmas period, they have already lost 3 games out of 4 matches played recently and even Tottenham have managed to overtake them on the table with a one point lead, if Manchester City are not able to start winning games starting from their next upcoming match against Southampton, their hopes to win the English Premier League title this season would be very small.

[rdbase]

Leicester city with another upset and Manchester city drops spots on the table.
Manchester united continue their success with another solid win today and thinking the manager choice has got their players confidence into performing with elite status once again.
I don't know if Chelsea will come up with a loss today versus Watford but we have to see about it in about an hours time.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Wow. How the tables have turned in Manchester. Turns out United players are quite good and they can actually play football. That build up to their second goal was beautiful (https://streamja.com/a23a), and just as nice as the build up to their 3rd goal against Cardiff last week. I've never been a United fan, but I always loved Solskjaer and am super happy he's had such a dream start to his temporary position.

Liverpool now sit 6 points clear at the top of the table with a big win over Newcastle 4-0, the big upset of the round so far is that Man City dropped another game against Leicester City and are now 7 points behind Liverpool. With the way Liverpool are playing I can't see any team catching them unless they have a poor month like Man City are currently having.

[tomahawk9]

At the start of the season, I thought Spurs were going to suffer massively for not incorporating new players into the team, I even thought they were going to struggle to get into the top 4...now look at them, 2nd place in the league table and just 6 points behind the leaders...hats off to Poch.

With the way Liverpool are playing I can't see any team catching them unless they have a poor month like Man City are currently having.

oh they'll eventually slip up (or maybe not), question is how big the gap will be with Spurs and City? if it's big enough they can slip up, they can lose/draw a few games and still remain at the top of the league.

*Me cursing in Japanese when seeing City losing again*

HOLY SH*TO!

Pretty impressive from Klopp tho, if he wins the league.  He promised the fans of winning it within three or 4 years of his time as LFC manager.
