Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Man City vs Liverpool is always a good match but expect strange starting like ups & perhaps both teams not being 100% at their best. I know the Community Shield is a trophy, kind of but the real stuff starts next weekend.

That's what I have in mind now when waiting for the Community Shield match. Both teams will certainly not lose their best squad, because this match is just a normal thing but this can add to the trophy for both teams. Even so, I'm sure this match will still be interesting.

Personally I believe that both coaches will use their best players and fight for the trophy as it is the Champions league trophy.
It would be an injection to their fans from the winners that they are the best team in the island.

I want to correct a little bit that this Community Shield League is a league where EPL champions meet with FA champions and also this match opens the new EPL season. So this has nothing to do with the Champions League Trophy. cmiiw

I don't expect both teams to take the fixture with extreme levity, It's always the final preparation before the new season, and both teams would want to make a statement that they're ready for the new challenge, of course we might see some unusual face in the lineups, but it's still going to be a great game to see.

Thank you for the tip but I know what Community Shield is.
Maybe you didn't read my post carefully.
I said that both teams will struggle to win the trophy as they would do IF this game was about Champions League title.

Lampard ends his preseason as manager of Chelsea with a draw just as he started the preseason. Here are the stats; DWLWWWD. Sadly we kept just one clean sheet and conceded 11 goals while scoring 18 goals. What's your take on this stats? For me I'm most worried about our goals conceded and not been able to finish the ball. Kudos to Barkley though (6 Games, 4 Goals, 3 Assists), hope he continues in his current goal scoring form and improves more during the season. What do you think of Lampard and the teams performance?.

Lampard is probably trying to find the perfect balance for his team now. 11:18 is not that good, and in fact, they're better compared to how Liverpool preseason was.

I'd say let's see how the results of his first 5 matches and then see what kind of team Lampard is trying to build and which part needs fixing.

The match will start in a few hours.
I'm sure Liverpool and Manchester City will play each other as usual. This is the beginning of the opening of the English league, meaning it is impossible for the two teams not to give their best performance. And this is really difficult to predict who the winner is.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIIIIME OF THE YEEAAARR!!  Season's greetings, everybody!   

It feels like the match is gonna be 1 - 1, 2 - 2.  IMHO.

Sorry for that.
Thank you for reminding me too.
In essence, we are thinking about the Community Shield match. Both teams will play the proper EPL match for 3 points or like a champions league. That means they will give their best in this match.

It has begun!  No Mane (Origi playing his spot), no Ederson (Bravo playing his spot)...  And it's good to see Sane still around and starting.

Keep a look out for LFC_Bitcoin...  He could be doing a BTC sign.  Lololol.  

Edit:  Ederson on the bench.  So is Aguero.

Everton has got a Moise Kean from Juventus and now rumors are circulating that Everton is trying to bring Rakitic from Barcelona, ​​Everton will be a strong contender for the top team EPL.

Too bad, he had to leave the pitch with an injury. I hope it won't be a serious one though...

Man City going in to break with a lone goal lead, courtesy of Sterling.

It's been quite a even game though, 2nd half should be more interesting, I guess.

Rakitic will be a great addition to the team.
I like that Everton tries to make such signings that will make them a challenger of the league title. I hope that the big clubs would do like that, but it seems like they gave up on further transfers.

Man City or Liverpool wins the Community Shield:

Fans:
"It's always good to start off the season with some silverware".
"Community Shield is a prestigious trophy, glad we won"
"This will give us a boost in confidence for the start of the season"

Man City or Liverpool loses

Fans:
"Meh, no one cares about this glorified friendly"
"Pfff..who cares? Players are still out of form, this is still pre season"
"Real deal starts next week"

 

[tokeweed]

^  It's actually not that prestigious but good to win to set the tone at the beginning of the season.  City just won thru pens.

Manchester city wins on penalty shootout with a 100% record as the game ended 1-1 at the 90th minutes, Manchester City 5-4 Liverpool full time. Thought @LFC_Bitcoin would do something to get the full screen attention and maybe send a shout-out to the forum  .

From my observation of the match, city were the better side, dominating possession which earn then an early goal score at the 12th minute by R. Sterling then Liverpool came out the stronger side in the second half which also earn then an equalizer. Although Liverpool had numerous chances to score a second goal to win the match but couldn't utilize those chances properly.

Man City were only the better side for the 1st Half only, Liverpool were impulsive in 2nd half,  They were head above shoulders better than City after the break, and dominated every aspect of the game thereafter.
Overall match, Liverpool were still the better side, maybe slightly.

Congratulations to City! Not a bad way to kickstart a new season...

Bravo > Alisson  

Reincarnation of Bravo, reminding City fans why he was signed by Pep at first...

Manchester United is reportedly just one step away from announcing the transfer of Harry Maguire. Transfer worth 80 million pounds sterling is believed to have been agreed. Maguire became the main target of Manchester United this summer. After a number of offers were rejected, reportedly Leicester City had received the latest proposal worth 80 million pounds.
