Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[LFC_Bitcoin]

...

That may be the case, but for some of the top teams in England, the league cup and the Carabao cup could be the best chance for a title this season. City and Liverpool are on levels above anyone else and would likely compete for the league.
We saw Tottenham drop out in the last round and the Spurs fans continue their wait for a title in many years.

Spurs fans will be upset about that imo, you’re right that it was possibly their only realistic chance of silverware. It’s a shame that their best team in decades looks to have run its course without winning a single trophy. I expect Poch to leave next summer & players like Eriksen, Vertonghen & Alderweireld to go too, seeking silverware elsewhere.

Nice 4th round matches! So many Premier League teams dropped out last night I feel a little less bad Spurs did not make it through hehe.

But I would bet on Arsenal on this next 4th round. Last night only 1 first choice guy played which is Naby Keita and he was just coming back from injury. All strikers who were regular were not even sitting on the bench. If they do the same, Arsenal will win.

You are saying Arsenal will beat Liverpool in Anfield, in the home ground (?) and when Liverpool is showing their top football? Come on man, I do not think current Arsenal team is that good. I will expect 3 - 1 win for Liverpool.

I will also follow two more matches:
Chelsea vs Man Utd: Chelsea to win
Man City vs Southampton: City to win

I do not think the team has run it's cause yet. Eriksen would very likely move on next summer and maybe some other names, but they still have a young squad and can reinvest into equally good talents. Over the years they have lost some very good players, notably, Bale, Modric and Walker, and yet they had a fantastic run in the UCL last season.

Pochetinno however would be a very huge loss, after years of switching managers quickly they would want to win something out of his extended stay in charge, and would not want to return to switching managers.

Watching the Manchester United-Rochadale match and seeing how United are struggling to get a goal with all the possession we enjoying, does this team have any forwards that can deliver a goal that will give us some hope when we meet Arsenal this weekend???

Have you forgotten?

They sold off Lord Lukaku and Sanchez, refused to replace them and thought they could rely on Rashford and Lingard, a pair i still feel is overrated because of English Media.
The Daniel James kid might also be head in the same path.

As I speak, United and Rochdale are level. 

I could be bias with my opinion on english player cause they are the most inconsistent have seen in football especially for forward play. They are very good as centre defenders and keeper but predictable as forward players, thats why they dont last at that position. I am so sure that mason mount is not a typical English footballer and if he is, his time is short.

Come on guys. We see the facts now!
That Liverpool is so favored in this match, I don't even think I can win at Liverpool. Because the difference between Liverpool and Arsenal is very far now.

Okay, I appreciate your prediction @leea-1334
Arsenal could have won, if the core players from Liverpool suffered injuries.

I bet in this match and Liverpool will win.

^^ Which side you are on? One second you were siding for Liverpool and in the another 2nd you flipped your side LOL
I like the sarcasm style though

Arsenal has a chance if Mane, Salah, van Dijk and of-course Klopp takes a break to visit his family 😉

Those last two matches...Oh boy 

Those two matches are the must seen games for the round, Everton vs Watford too should be a another tough fixture...

Imagine how much of an easy ride Tottenham could have had if their negligence didn't cost them against Colchester

Such interesting matches from that draw.
I think it would be great to see Chelsea getting a win against Manchester United, as this would be good for Lampard's morale and for the players' as well.
Liverpool won't have any difficulty against Arsenal.

It would probably be going long like that in the future as well. Any team that plays in league, champions league (or europa) and then domestic cups will probably just keep playing a bit of bench, a bit of regulars and a bit of youth.

I know this sounds like football manager level of idea and I know it sounds silly but it is quite understandable to play your real players on champions league, 6-7 or even 8 regular players on the league with 3-4 bench players (goal keeper mostly stays all the time) and on FA cup type things you can have like 5 players from regulars and 4 bench and some youths in there and when it comes to stuff like Caraboa cup you can go with mostly benched players and youth.

The "regulars" you play in these games could change all the time, the 5-6-7-8 or whatever regulars you will play doesn't have to be the same guys, you change them up so that even twice a week a guy gets a rest and that makes them fresh but all regulars play on all champions league games unless something big happens.

Wow. 5th, 6th, 7th and 10th in EPL all dropped out.

To be fair, Liverpool also got knocked out at this stage twice recently but then we had to meet EPL opponents... so that appears to again be the case with Arsenal our next meet (but to be fair I prefer meeting Arsenal than League One opponents).

@leea you're right, if we play the kids again, we're no longer an outright favourite. Loved our forwards, if slightly disappointed in Brewster... but we gave away a lot of chances.

This carabao cup is completely unpredictable... I mean a big teams like liverpool, chelsea, arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester city could use the second squad or even third squad for this competition in case there's more important game shceduled on a bigger stage like champions league, EPL or FA cup.

That's why betting on a superhigh odds championship clubs, league 1 even league two to win this tournament become more exciting  .

So far the bookies still put Manchester city as a favorite along with liverpool who superbly unbeaten this season.

Hey guys, I have bet for Everton to win this Saturday with ETH in Kryptium. I give 1.91 odds for draw or City to win. Anyone against me??

Tottenham Hotspurs underrated Colchester and ended up paying the price, the same would have happened to Manchester United but it seems that unknown forces wanted to see whether Manchester United could replicate the same victory which saw them win by 4-0 against Chelsea, I doubt we will see the same thing happening, Revenge seems the likely outcome.

That's what happens when big teams play against Underdog especially smaller tournaments like EFL. They tend underestimate them and instead play most of their young takents

I am not blaming if the coach puts down young players for when playing with the Underdog team, it is the coach's chance to try other strategies or try to lose young players, in order to see their abilities. If it suffers defeat it might not be surprising, that's why football is always there win and lose. The coach also must have known the risks.

Liverpool won't have any difficulty against Arsenal.

I hope Chelsea also get that victory. Because I think United have not been at the point of their best performance, with the condition of United States now, Chelsea might be able to take advantage of this situation. Unlike Liverpool, they will win even if their opponents can complicate it.

What did you think of the young boy Harvey Elliot, only 16 years old. I managed to catch the Liverpool game & I thought he was fantastic. He definitely has a bright future if he gets his head down & works hard.

Manchester United beat Chelsea 4 - 0 on the opening day, and I’m sure they’ll beat Chelsea again by a big margin. While Chelsea has been performing way better than anyone could have anticipated, I yet feel they’ll be under lots of pressure when they face Manchester United in the fourth round. Anyone planning to gamble on Manchester United vs Arsenal, it’ll be a low scoring game so I’m having second thoughts about placing a bet.

Anyone that plans to wager any money on that match plays with fire. It's hard to expect anything expectable from this teams. They are inconsistent, they have too many weaknesses, they lack in every aspect of the game. It's no surprise that they are laughing stock of the league.

Here is a perfect gif for this match that I found on the internet. Jesse Lingard on the left, David Luiz on the right:

October is gonna be a very hard month for Manchester Utd. They have to face Arsenal and Tottenham in EPL and Chelsea in EFL. While those teams are not running in that much of a good form but Manchester Utd is having the form far worse than them. I even have doubts against Newcastle and Norwich fixtures.

Norwich can definitely give a bad dream for United. They played really good football against City and it's possible they'll do the same thing again when they meet with the other big 6.

Chelsea is improving, but can't say for sure they're good enough to get winning streak like City & Liverpool.
