Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[rizkyrz]

The first half of Manchester United vs Arsenal game finished.
I had predicted Arsenal to win the match. But:
Manchester United 1 - 0 Arsenal. A great shot Scott McTominay made Manchester United winner of the first half. Should wait for the second have. I think Arsenal can score two goals and wins the game.

Edit:
85 minutes: 1-1

The match ended 1-1
Arsenal is now on 4th place and Manchester on 10th place.
Manchester should win Newcastle next week before the difficult game against Liverpool. Otherwise they might be lower than 15-16th two weeks later.

Arsenal like "condemned" continue to be in position "4" league standings. somehow the number "4" is their trademark, football fans know this. I know this is not the end but when they are in that position, I wonder if it was just a coincidence?

It seems that is their target, Every year must be in the top 4. Because competition is difficult in the EPL, Arsenal are therefore unable to rank 1.2 or 3. But unfortunately, United Man also has to fight to enter the zone.

it is true that getting 1-4 positions at the end of the league league club will get a slot as a participant at UCL. but it should, Arsenal must also be ambitious to win the English Premiere.

There will be conflict of interest here bud, I hope it ends 1 - 1 so that I can the full 3 points in the prediction pool. However, I wish you good luck, even though it might cost me 

Make sense LOL
Now the reality is after the goal Arsenal seems to busy defending the attacks from Man Utd. From last 20 minutes they are doing really good. If they get one more goal then I would not surprise at all.

It's been quite a while since arsenal last win at old Trafford in the league... yeah there's a meme says the last time arsenal won over Manchester United at old Trafford... ole was in the Manchester  united squad back in 2006.

We're not surprised at all with this result ... it's been predicted will be a close game with 1 goal margin or a draw and it's happened... both teams now stay where they belong ... 4 for arsenal and 10 for Manchester United in the EPL standings  .

No offense united fans 

[Upgrade00]

Arsenal could have approached the game more positively and shown more intent to take the game to Manchester United. Starting with so many defensive minded midfielders expressed Emery's intent to not lose the game, perhaps trying to cover for the weak defence.

[both teams now stay where they belong ... 4 for arsenal and 10 for Manchester United in the EPL standings 

Considering how much UCL football they've missed in the last couple of years, safe to say they no longer belong to the fourth position.

[rizkyrz]

I am not sure what happens to Arsenal.
They are very inconsistent and can lose to small clubs when you least expect them to after winning the community shield last week.

I don't know, even though Arsenal have a lot of quality players. do coaches who don't have a strategy match their player composition? Arsenal has many evaluations.

It seems they have to renew their targets because targeting only the top 4 is not something ambitious and prestige.

Both really facing problems and continue to get stuck in those problems, especially Arsenal.

This is a loss for United because they can only draw at home is really disappointing, especially for their fans, United not only need De Gea but also sticker that can score goals.

I’ve gone for Man Utd 1-2 Arsenal in our Bitcointalk, Superbru betting pool. Wouldn't surprise me if Man Utd win though, I think it’s going to be really close.

Same happen to me Now I am realizing that Manchester United can win this match as they are at home and they never lost against Arsenal in last few matches lets see what happen just 30 minutes left.

Seems like lots of people are placing their bet on 1-2 win for Arsenal. It is never predictable when two of the big 6 are playing. Both Manchester United and Arsenal have got their problems this seasons, let's see who comes up as winner tonight!
I am going with United.

I placed the opposite, I had United to win the macth LOL. It was OK when Tominay scored the first goal before the end of the first half but unluckily Maguire was too late to trap Aubameyang on an offside position. VAR is good for this kind of wrong decision by the linesman. United has very big problem, they have no predators type of striker. Rashford is young talented player but he still need longer time to be a world class striker. I have to give applause for James, Tominay, Pereira and De Gea who played very well last night.

The decision to allow Romelu Lukaku to leave is one that really baffles me , We had Martial and Rashford already but Jose Mourinho thought it wise to have him as well which goes to show he really didn't trust in their goal scoring abilities, but Solksjaer sidelined him immediately he asked to replace Mourinho and that was one of the major reasons why he wanted to leave and he was sold and no replacement was brought in.

This game is quite a few times that happens to finish both teams to score and many persons I think they have won money in this game.I won too but not both teams to score as I bet on European Handicap on Arsenal 1-0 for them starting game and I won it.They showed a relatively good game yesterday but not the level we expect from these teams.

[narcopop]

Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports, quoting:

"Arsenal and Manchester United were 8th and 11th in the Premier League before the game. They looked like the 8th and the 11th best team in the league too."

That's the sad truth. Both teams have big ambitions and even bigger history but last seasons showed them that although there are chances for changes, they won't come up so easily. And definitely not with these squads and probably not with these coaches. Auba keeps the broken train running at Emirates while at Old Trafford the train is a wreck with maybe only Pogba knowing how to fix it.

Liverpool showed the right way to everyone. You need a visioner coach to come back from the dead. That's for sure.

Maybe it time for Manchester to do something. I mean they are great club Arsenal is also but last few season Manchester have problem with picking goad coach. It was look promising with Solskaer in start but seem like he is loosing the edge.

I've had successes predicting the outcome of Man Utd matches because their team is nothing to write home about anymore. A friend of mine even Joked that Manchester United is a "training" material. I said it before the match – That it was going to be a fixed draw and it was. Without Doubts, This season is going to be a tough one for both Man Utd and Arsenal. In the Premier League today, The concept of underdogs in fixture is slowly whistling away. To win every match, You have to work for it And that's what my team, Liverpool is doing.

The problem with United is not only the coach. Their players also need to do better. Even if they're still under Sir Alex they won't be able to perform at their best if the players don't give their all. Take a look at how they interact with the manager, like Poga to Jose. It needs to be fixed, sometimes having a 'mediocre' player is better than having 11 players with a huge ego that don't want to play according to the managers tactical approach.

You are right but Solskjaer also take a part why Man United sucks so bad this season. I still can't believe he sold Sanchez and Lukaku, look at Rashford, he can't make a goal on arsenal match. Even if Man United change to another coach, it will not guarrentee Man United back to winning track.

[DeathAngel]

Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal
Probably not a great result for either team as they both really needed to win. Man Utd are in a real struggle to get into the top 4 this season.

if they do a lot of evaluations for change, there is still a chance to be in the position of zone 4 of the EPL standings this season. I think the current MU manager should be replaced by a more experienced one.

You should ask why Man United agree with Solskjaer on selling him.

And this cycle will repeat again. You said United should hire X, because X knows how to play the United way, etc etc. And then the same results happen. The problem with United is complex and it will probably take years to fix it, starting from the boards to the players.

United Man has made many changes, both from the purchase of players last summer. But they still haven't given their best performance. United Man will not change coaches in the near future, except the end of the season "if" United men are still like this without any changes at all.

I don't think we should consider it struggling anymore cos they're obviously not gonna finish at the top 4 imho.  Lol.
