Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Rozita]

<snip>
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.

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.

I agree that the game will be difficult for Manchester City, but I don't think the chance of Chelsea to win the game is much higher than Manchester City.
Manchester City will play at their home and it's a great advantage. Except the game against Wolverhampton, Manchester City hasn't lost any game at their home in this season of premier league.
I think you are predicting the result based on Liverpool vs Manchester City game. That game was totally different. No team can defeat Liverpool.

Man City play Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal & Leicester before Christmas. I think City will drop more points in the coming weeks.

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.

Nobody likes a loser, people love winners.
Liverpool is now the winner no1 and does not be surprised if some of Manchester City supporters change opinion and continue to support Liverpool.

Yet there are still 26 rounds. Still, need to play against Leicester, Chelsea, Man. United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham it would be too much to expect to finish the season with only one or two draws.

Off all the upcoming games the only one that will trouble Manchester City will be the Leicester City game because by far they are the most impressive team, I am sure Chelsea will prove to be a little bit trouble but Manchester City will eventually carry the day but with Arsenal and Manchester United it will be an easy win for Manchester City.

I still believe in the abilities of Manchester City coaches and players even though they were defeated by Liverpool, they will rise as fast as possible
because they have a great champion mentality

With Chelsea and Leicester City I am smelling them to lose few points. May be they will be able to defeat Utd and Arsenal easily. Liverpool is going to see Palace, Brighton, Everton, Bornemouth and Watford - and I can tell that if we do not make any mistakes then we should be winning all these games.

At this point only Liverpool can harm Liverpool. We are at the top and we need to maintain the level now.

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.

such a great records will hard to break but of course there is nothing last forever .

they did not play as good as leicester city good football , liverpool seems get the lucky factor in most of the games that they have won -no offense- the last time is against manchester city where i think manchester city deserve a draw.
after the ignored handsball and mo salah offside goal , the VAR checking is not helpful at all, klop himself says that nothing perfect we can not expect for perfection in VAR , there a lot of space to improve in VAR implementations.

the next liverpool EPL match is against : crystal palace, brighton, everton, bournemouth and watford, they won't struggle with those mediocre teams.

It seems this was the first time we had issue with VAR.

Man! it's a part of the game now. Salah was not off-side but yes there was a hand ball which City could manage to get a penalty but again this is a part of the game. You can not expect referee to see everything.
In the entire match except last 15 minutes, Liverpool dominated the match and they deserved the win.

[Upgrade00]

The referees does see everything that's why VAR exists, it's a video assistant, so whatever the referee misses they pick it up in the studio. The issue is it was a 50-50 situation. And I believe the VARs were split on which decision to make, the fact that Liverpool scored from the ensuing play made it even more difficult. The second incident for me was clearly not a penalty, the ball was played from too close (distance from Arnold's hands to the ball) and his hands were not spread wide, it was similar to the Bernardo Silva handball in the first half; too close, and so can not be given.

The rules regarding handballs are constantly being updated, and we would have such arguments and debates as fans are swayed by club affiliation.

That is so right. Liverpool holds the title on its hands even if it is still November.
City has so difficult schedule that it is very possible they will lose points and the gap would be wider. But something similar happened last season and Liverpool was ahead of City and they lost the title.

it's the first season VAR implemented in the major competition like english premier league .

yet we have loads of controversial decision in the bag and yesterday at the UEFA's annual Elite Club Coaches Forum in Switzerland many managers bring this matter on the table complaining and urgently encourage to pay attention on the VAR vulnerability.
i know referee is only a human who even given 2-3 minutes additional time to review through the video with other 3 referees behind the monitor and make what they call as a "better decision" is sometimes still a bad decision for the one side, pep guardiola is the example who really not happy with the VAR decision .

they said VAR is helping liverpool making those impressive 11 winning and 1 draw this season, will it continue benefit liverpool to realize the liverpool hopeful saying "this gonna be our year?"

EPL league time is still long there is still time for Manchester to chase Liverpool points, we know that liverpool is now the strongest team in the EPL and in CL, but look ahead to what will happen will Liverpool win this season and shift Manchester City ?

There is nothing wrong with VAR. the problem is the English referees. they are inconsistent between one referee and another, some are very detailed about offside, some make stupid decisions even though they have seen VAR. maybe this is the reason why the English referee wasn't used during the last World Cup, their quality is poor.

This is a common things being discuss in every competition, when team showing a stable performance and the point difference is quite far from the team below, the football lovers will begin to predict the team can win the competition. Points difference is 8 I think Chelsea, MC and LC still have chance to winning the league.

I agree with you, especially if we saw Liverpool last season. if I'm not mistaken, they were 11 points ahead of M.city, but at the end of the season, M.city won the league.

Leicester, Chelsea and Manchester all three teams have almost the same points, if in the next week playing brilliantly and continuously I'm sure Liverpool will be displaced, as long as the team is cohesive to reach the top, what I see now Liverpool is difficult to beat by any team on EPL.

Liverpool was a team without winning a trophy then, if you look at the stats Liverpool have lost ONE game in the PL in like 50 games. For Man City to win the title Liverpool would have to lose multiple games, maybe 3 or 4 in the remainder of the season. It’s not going to happen imo, they know how to win now. They had the hurt of losing the title by 1 point last season. Man City have lost 3 in the league already & with Kompany going plus Laporte’s long term injury they are not the same team this season.

[JollyGood]

Man City play Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal & Leicester before Christmas. I think City will drop more points in the coming weeks.

I think Liverpool will also drop points. There are 21 points for Liverpool up for grabs before the end of the year and I cannot see them winning them all.

Without a doubt the Merseyside derby will not be straightforward even if it is being played at Anfield and playing away to Palace, Bournemouth and Leicester will not be easy either.

They will probably demolish Brighton and Watford at Anfield but they will not pick up the maximum 21 points before the end of the year though they might remain unbeaten if their excellent form continues.

Liverpool is now 9 points ahead from the current titleholder Man City. That was a tremendous performance of Liverpool at home. Actually, Mane, Salah is the king of Anfield. Man City is on the number 4 and they will face Chelsea next matchday. I am quite happy to see Leicester City is doing very good on EPL this season. But Liverpool is looking phenomenal and they want to win the EPL title of this season anyhow.

If the transfer season arrives I think Chelsea, MC and LC must buy a great player for the front lines to make it easy to score, I know a coach who will know better than me but with talented players I think Liverpool can also be toppled.
