Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[FlamingFingers]

Last night Liverpool vs Manchester city was fun one to watch. I was thinking of City to win and get again to No.2 spot but that didn't happened. Lots of missed and close chances and the handball -_-

Anyway yesterday all goals scored were spectacular. Which one do you think was the most spectacular goal? Fabinho? Salah? Mane? Or Silva?

I choose Fabinho one. 

Fabinho goal was the most spectacular,  lots of arguments among me and my friend as regards Fabinho goal
We were arguing that Ederson wouldn't have saved the goal either,  but I'm kind of thinking that Ederson might have saved the goal from such distance,

Man city were robbed off two clear penalties,  but I think Bravo made the game worst for city with his awful goal keeping,  Ederson might have do very well in at least one or two saves from those goals Bravo conceeded

I think that for this year there is not much left to see because Liverpool by winning yesterday extended their lead and I think it will be difficult for any other team to win the Premier League this year.I also think that Liverpool will not screw it up like they did the last year so I consider the Premier League closed regarding who will win it.

Liverpool has a strong and solid squad in EPL at the moment. Right they should be able to continue to maintain their lead, and be consistent until the end of the season, If want to lift the trophy. Maybe this year the year for Liverpool and ManC will be difficult to catch Liverpool even for Leicester was in second.

You could say the Liverpool player is perfect in his squad, and has a good coach Klopp continues to contribute to his players to remain solid, I'm sure this season Liverpool will lift the EPL and CL trophies.

Congratulations to Liverpool for a 99% chance of winning the EPL title. Just like what Mourinho said as a pundit: "If Liverpool wins the game today, I sink they will win the league."
However, "a slip from Liverpool will always happen."

Lolol.  I can actually hear his voice in my head reading that.  But yeah, there's no doubt they're winning the league with 9 points up and having the better squad than City.

I guess a couple of people will def be happy winning their side bets (and have bragging rights) vs me.  Lol.

Edit:  City should start moving on and go after the cup games and thr CL imho.

[Avirunes]

with ederson absence? you still think manchester city should win?

I had a slight hope that they are determined to get close in table difference b/w them and Liverpool but guess Liverpool had a good team and really played well yesterday.

BTW Sergio Aguero's saga of never scoring a goal at Anfield continues. He had good chances yesterday. 

[justdimin]

I have not expected anything less from Liverpool but lets not put all the blame on the goal keeper.

Ederson is really a great player but can you say if Ederson was at the goal city would have won this game? I don't think so. Keeper is one of the most important positions in the game and that is why I feel like we all imagined the game would be like this because of the keeper change but at the same time if you check how the goals were scored they were all goals keeper wouldn't be able to save, sure there have been crazier saves but I am siding with the bigger possibility of not being able to save.

The only reason city lost was they played Liverpool like they always play, City has a tactic and they just played it. I am sorry but you can't play against Liverpool the same way you play against any other team.

Klop done good job and he take his time for preparing squad like this now all players doing good job as team required which is great we can say this is perfect team of recent time which can win dual or treble cups this season if they able to hold this all for some more time then surely this is great for Liverpool and fans.

[gabbie2010]

Do you think that with this win, Liverpool is much closer to the winning a title?

I don't think so, season is just heating up, there will be a lot of surprises still. Otherwise i think LP is looking very good this season, and Man City not so good. Not sure if they are washed up or what.

The fact that Liverpool has been superb in EPL this season does not mean that they had seal the title or close to winning it, the league had not reach half and nobody can predict what is going to happen in the next three months though they are sitting at the top of the table comfortably with nine point any flop or string of losses is going to spell doom for their title aspiration.

To tell you the truth, i didn't expect Liverpool to win this match so easily.
I thought that Manchester City is going to be more competitive in order to score a goal and get this match so as to close the gap in the league table. Unfortunately for them, Klopp organized the team very good.

[Upgrade00]

though they are sitting at the top of the table comfortably with nine point.

Eight points instead, their closest rivals are Leicester City and Chelsea, both on 26 points. Manchester City are fourth on 25 points, while Liverpool lead the pack with 34 points.
They're are comfortable for now, but a lead can be blown within a couple of weeks, so nothing is decided as far as the title is concerned just yet.

Chelsea is doing really serious business in this season and unfortunate City is going to face them in the next match after the defeat of yesterday. I am expecting an exciting match in that match and even Chelsea may manage a win or even a draw. If this happens then  City will have a break in their confidence.

We may see a good contest for 2nd position in this season.

[JollyGood]

After the International break is over, here are the first set of Premier League fixtures.

I might change some of my scores depending if any players were injured or any other set backs because we are 12 days away from these fixtures.

If you would like to participate post your projected scores and I will add you. Hopefully will have a minimum of 6 players.

No betting involved, just a bit of fun so we can compare the scores at the end of the weekend

everybody wanted liverpool to get slipped , instead slipped they are unstoppable now.

8 points clear from leicester and chelsea on second and third place is a pretty huge gap , won't be easy for any team to chase liverpool unless if liverpool themselves get hits by injuries which so far they are just fine , luckily.
indeed the curse continue , it seems the ball keep failing landed on the wrong aguero's foot and the wrong time making the shoots undirected and weak i can see that how unlucky aguero at anfield .

Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield for 900 days now.

This season belongs to Liverpool. I think it's very difficult to beat liverpool now. They are strong on all fronts. Allison Becker has returned and this is adding to their strength. Maybe this season they will lose just once, when they visit Manchester City Stadium.
But Leicester also has a chance of beating them because this season they also look very tough.

[joniboini]

What a quick turn around. Just a few days ago lots of people said Liverpool will slip and blablabla, and now they start saying this is Liverpool year.

Another reminder that most football comments don't hold any values.

12 rounds done, 26 rounds remaining means that there are still many chances to happen in the league especially for the current top 4 teams as the point difference is not that big.
Liverpool needs to be consistent in the remaining rounds, they should not slip many matches in the future as it the other 3 teams (Chelsea, Leicester, City) may overtake their position.
I think Liverpool will lose against a mediocre team only which will be a surprise, like what they got a draw against United when United was in a very bad form. Who knows?

Maybe they think Liverpool will be humiliated from Manchester but in fact Liverpool were the one who humiliated Manchester with a 3-1 goal.

Comments from someone you can't trust are only predictions that have no value, but Liverpool can show their best.

I am expecting an exciting match in that match and even Chelsea may manage a win or even a draw. If this happens then  City will have a break in their confidence.

true this match it will be very interesting, the point difference for the second position table is very thin, while there are three teams that compete fiercely for the position. Chelsea is on enjoying their winning streak, obviously ManC must be careful. if don't want to get pain deeper.
in my opinion this match will end in a draw.

[Coyster]

Chelsea is doing really serious business in this season and unfortunate City is going to face them in the next match..

Chelsea and Leicester City are the two most entertaining teams in the league so far this season, and really no one gave this both teams any chance coming into the season, Chelsea due to their transfer ban were expected to stuggle, while Leicester were expected to stay mid table as usual.

But they have proven otherwise, Chelsea Vs Manchester City would be one of the most interesting games in the season so far, two teams that only love to attack, I do not think anyone of them would pay too much attention to parking the bus, city are more mature than this current Chelsea team and I see that being the edge for them, city win 3.1.

When Liverpool never lost a match in this season and playing really well who will claim that they will slip if you watch the rest of the matches.

I accept with the first part as there might be a ton of comments without value  .

We have a break for UEFA EURO 2020 Qualifier.

I think in this match City will settle for a draw or even they may lose the match. City is under pressure. The fame, the expectation and finally the attacks from Chelsea will give them hard time. And Chelsea knows if they can win this match then they will go one step ahead than the closest competitor.
