Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[examplens]

What caught my attention in yesterday's fixture was that Chelsea got the 3rd place. And not because they won, but because Everton managed to get a tie against Tottenham. It was a great gift from Everton to Chelsea

I don't think there's any difference for finishing either 3rd or 4th position in the premier league, In the end both teams are automatically qualified for group stages of the Champions League next season, except if there's a difference in the what the FA would pay respective teams for finishing in either position, but I still doubt it would be a significant difference for the club, if it were to be so.

It's true there is no different because both teams will qualified to the champions league next season but the problem is what if Arsenal win Europa League.

So is premier league will get 5 team spots for champions league or one of the team will eliminated for champions league spot?

I think 5 teams will get a place in the Champions League there is no reason to disqualify one of them
What needs to be questioned is if Arsenal are the champions then who takes the place for the European League ? wolves ?

There is a new thing which can make some changes. Manchester City has ban problem with signing new players and possible ban from Champions League for one year. If Arsenal wins Europa League, then Man. United have the chance to go in CL.

Indeed Man City ambitions wants to bring europe trophy to their home ground that's why almost every season they bought an expensive players and several times changing the manager but apparently the results were beyond their expectation because every seasons they even never reach to final match

That is something that the public already knows like. That Manchester City has no mentality in Europe. The fear at EPL is feared, but in Europe, of course Manchester City seems to have no mentality to become a champion in terms of European matches like UCL. Even though they buy expensive players every year. Hopefully next year will prove and solve the curse.

Wtf is this horse sh*t?  The CL is so damn hard to win cos of its format.  It's a tourney format played with two matches each and you're out if you lose the aggregate or thru penalites if tied in aggregate.  Luck becomes more of a factor.  Couple that with playing the best in Europe and the EPL's more hectic schedule and you got a much harder time to win it imho.

It's already amazing there are two EPL clubs that survived and went to the final.

Luck indeed does play a big factor when it comes to UCL, Look Real Madrid 3 consecutive triumphs, None of those years were Real Madrid playing exceptional football, and La Liga could highlight that, they even struggle at the group stages sometimes. It wasn't as if winning the Uefa Champions League was their primary goal for any those season, but they seem to be favored in terms of either how their schedule was or who their opponents were at some stages of the competition. I'm not saying they don't deserve any of those trophies or they didn't had to work hard too, but then, make a comparison of their efforts those years to that of Ajax for this season, would you say Ajax deserve it any less than Real Madrid in any of those seasons ?

There were rumours that they even did some fraudulent sponsorship deals because they were not following the FIFA financial fair play policy. I think if thats the case then the necessary ban should be applied and maybe stripped of some of their  trophies that they won. But i doubt their ban in the Champions League will help Manchester United in any way.

Liverpool have played well until end of the season, sticking ManC and the hunt for points in every match. but fail to win EPL because 1 point difference it was very hurt, Maybe next season achievement will be better, congratulations For Man City you really deserve it.
for Liverpool Fans there are still UCL 2019 final surprises.

It was a truly champion season in EPL for Liverpool despite they have finished on the second place. 97 points would be enough to become a champion in any league so that it's very unpleasantly to lose a trophy this way in the end.

Not all tied matches leads to a penalty shooutout, you also need to factor in that away goals have a way to determine on whose leading in the aggregate. But I do have to agree with you that luck has some kind of factor in the Champions League that is why you see a lot of underdogs and Football clubs we don't even know defeat and upset top tier teams in Europe. By that I think the matches are made so that teams have an even chances to reach the final and it has been proven by a lot of underdogs in the past.

I'm not sure about this but I heard somewhere that this rule where goals scored away will not anymore be an advantage from next year in Europe and Champions League. I think this will be great because we've seen many great teams this year being removed just because the other team had the advantage of scoring more goals away. The best example is Man City because if it weren't for this rule they would have more than surely knock out Tottenham.

Losing only by 1 point is really hurt though but it's still the best season for Liverpool. If liverpool can get the last chance to get trophy on champions league, then it will be a damn good one.

Btw when is the start of premier league next season 2019/2020?

[gilangIDR]

A tense season this year so that the championship determination is still linked to 38 weeks. I think this is part of the best season ever at EPL. There are so many dramas that exist and in the end Manchester City can be a champion, besides that the EPL top score is also recognized by 3 players. It's been a tight season and I can't wait to wait for next season. I hope Manchester United can compete much better next season, now EPL has the big six.

I did not follow Championship this year, and I don't know what is his chance, but I hope Leeds can win and to see them in Premier League next year. They deserve to be in PL.

[tokeweed]

^  Leeds lead the Championship for like two thirds of the season then went thru some rough patches.  But yeah, I'd like to see them go up too.  They were the sh*t back in the day.

Harlot, was actually right because the officials believed scoring when away is more difficult than scoring at home and for this reason they usually consider the level of away goals scored to choose the winner ties matches instead of penalties.
But, it will be bad if the rules where away goals won't be an advantage anymore and I think we have to keep our fingers cross wait to confirm if what Make money said was truth.

I would be happy to see Derby County winning this game, but unfortunately Leeds United play and exciting football. Coach Bielsa has done an amazing work to the team and I think that they deserve to win it and see them next year in the Premier League as the old days.

I would love too see Derby back in the EPL too, I think Derby are the most unfortunate team in the Championship, they play in the playoff almost every year for the 4-6 years in row now, but they always they get eliminated along the way. They always have a bright start to every season but keep dropping points when approaching the end of the season.

This problem is still under investigation, I heard the club owner prepared 200 million pounds to buy players in the next season

[vella85]

I don't like Leeds so I'm glad that Derby won the match as I have always had a soft spot for Derby because I like when underdog teams come from the bottom to win. Just like they did back in the day when the rivalry between these two clubs was at its peak and when Brian Clough was the manger.

I'm very happy for Derby, and I hope they can win the final playoffs and against Aston Villa on the 27th of this month, although I like Aston Villa as well and whoever wins the match is fine with me.

This playoffs shows another side of what playoffs can be both Leeds United and West Brom finished 3rd and 4th respectively on the championship table and they finished 9 points and 4 points ahead of Derby who were 6th and Aston Villa who were 5th respectively, It ends being the 4th and 5th going to the playoff finals.

FA Cup final today. City vs Watford. The Citizens have the chance of winning the domestic treble 

What are the chances that we see upset? Bookies have Watford win @10/1 odds, City won both EPL games against The Hornets, so people think it's like mission impossible for Watford...But what if they can actually pull off an epic win just like Wigan did back in the 2013 fa cup final against the Citizens? Anyone rooting for Watford?

I think I'm gonna play it safe and just go for City win and BTTS @2.60 (:

3-0 to Man City, 20 minutes to go. Watford had a great chance to go 1-0 up but Ederson saved well. Watford could also have had a penalty at 0-0. You have to take your chances against City or they will punish you.
