Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Avirunes]

^^
I believe Manchester United are in need of a more established striker to complete their squad. The team desperately needs a leader and a winner who has succeeded at various stages in their careers. Halland is a prodigy who has a bright future, but the United fans want an instant impact. I don't think a deal for Madison would be possible this season, he and Leicester are having a phenomenal season so far and I wouldn't advise him to tweak that.

If Manchester United able to have Leader in this transfer window then surely they will able to have some good position in league and this is going to be very posiitve for them as right now they are not bad at all but lack of good striker hurting them very badly we all can hope this could be solved and they will be in.

Yeah someone to go along with Rashford and capable of scoring. I think I read news earlier on related to Manchester United interested in buying Juventus striker Mario Mandžukić. He is good and capable but he is getting old so I think United should think of someone playing for them in long term I guess.

They had to tighten their defense also. There are so many things going on wrong for them.

Probably not a bad idea considering the United situation right now. They need to win and get back their confidence, and even if it's for 1 season only, getting a new deadly striker who doesn't need a very long time to settle in a new team is definitely a good choice.

You can talk about long-term after that. First, you need to win and solve your problem. Getting him on loan is probably not so bad too.

Hmm.. Short-term is also not a bad idea. With lack of playing , I think deal is gonna probably happen in upcoming transfer and Juventus are not hoping for a big deal for him^^ as well as the sources say. It's gonna help out young players in United as well so a very good transfer target.

Whatever it may be, there will be interesting transfers in this upcoming transfer window with lots of additions to major teams in EPL (as I am expecting).

Mandzukic as a striker can indeed be relied upon for his team. I am also happy in terms of Mandzukic play but indeed he is old past in stamina it will not be long, and I think Halland will be the right target for his troops MU,
But we will see the transfer opened.

United had Lukaku who was a great striker and it didn't make any difference.
Now Lukaku left the Manchester and he is one of the most "in form" strikers in Europe - maybe the second one behind Lewandowski. United needs something more than just a striker.

United need a whole new spine of their team. Aside from De Gea the spine is weak as fuck.

Who is their beast CB, somebody they rely on?
Who is their main midfielder, their leader who wins games by controlling the CM?
Who is their world class striker who scores 20 goals every season?

The answer to the 3 questions above is nobody. They need a whole new spine before they even think about competing for the title.

Answer No 1. Maguire, 2. Pogba, 3. None. lol, they didn't have a pure striker like RVP. oh my bad, they have but they also sell it to inter Milan lol
Ed Woodward was fooled by many players agents and clubs because he had too much money and underestimated the role of sports director lol

Manchester United are one point away from being 5th and in a Europa League spot next season. Arsenal are joint 5th place with Sheffield United.

I do not see Manchester United finishing in the top 4 until they go on a decent run and that coincides with Leicester City dropping points because right now you cannot say Manchester City or Chelsea will drop more points than Leicester.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham will be there fighting for a 4th/5th place finish alongside Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

From now until 31st December nearly all these teams will be playing 8 Premier League games so that means any team can gain up to 24 points if they will them all. Anything can happen and things will definitely change. Revisiting the Premier League table on 1st January 2020 it will be looking different to what we see right now.

This week there was a very interesting duel, Manchester City vs Chelsea. Do you think there will be a goal party at etihad? Seeing Chelsea's defense is a bit fragile this season. When it comes to scoring goals I don't doubt Chelsea at all. They have a very good attack line. However, the defense needs to be improved. However, there are many players from the two teams who play for their respective countries. I will bet Manchester City win this week.

Manchester City may be suffering from a lot of injuries at this very moment but that doesn't mean that Chelsea are going to be that much of a threat to them in the upcoming games. True Chelsea's defense has been a bit wobbly because they seem to concede a lot of goals whiles they score more. Manchester City defense is also ravaged with injuries with their goalkeeper currently out injured if no return date in sight.

So do you think the match will end in a draw? actually I hope Manchester City can win so they can again put pressure on Liverpool. I respect Chelsea as a big English club in the last 15 years. But this season is not theirs. City and Liverpool are better prepared. So I will be championing Mancester City to win regardless of the conditions of their current squad after the international break and his injury Ederson

Maguire is a big donkey with the turning circle of an oil tanker. Pogba is either past his best or just doesn’t want to be there. He hasn’t been a regular world class player for Man Utd the whole time he’s been there. United are in trouble, big trouble.

But it is true in my opinion this prediction will end in a draw, remember Chelsea are also not easily uprooted by a large team Chelsea already have a good squad.
Lampard now knows how to deal with a big team so he will play talented young players.
I will not predict who the winner will be but the match ending in the series is already good for the Chelsea team.

Chelsea could seriously compete for the title in a few seasons but they’re way too inexperienced at the moment. Liverpool and City have been there & done it, they are far better equipped for a season long assault at the big trophies.

Sheff UTD vs Manchester UNITED
Which one will be superior in this match because it is 1 point different then there is victory for Ole Gunnar because it will occupy position 5.

^  You haven't been watching.  

^  It's not over.  There are more international fixtures (a lot) later and tomorrow.  So if you think your favorite footballers are risk free from injuries, don't hold your breath...  And don't make your bets just yet.  

Did you see Van Dijk was allowed t go home for ‘personal reasons’ after their first game as they qualified
Klopp probably rang up Koeman and said ‘please send my guy home now’.

Gomez & Hendo were sent back home too

Klopp ‘doing a Fergie’.

Lol.  But I mean yeah, the international break has at times really become an inconvenience on club football.  For qualifying for Euro 2020 or the WC or something important, sure go ahead.  Play the best.  But for friendlies?  Nah...  It's not worth the risk.

Gotta admit you're right.  I totally underestimated Lampard (you'll be winning both our side bets).  But hey, at least I put my money where my mouth is.

I keep on saying that the transfer ban was the best thing to have happened to Frank Lampards Chelsea team and with young squad he has done miraculously well even when they lost their season opening game against Manchester United so heavily, they were able to bounce back and now they are bound to qualify for the Champions League next season,  I agree that winning the EPL is quite a out of their reach when it comes to experience.

I know which team will  come out top in that fixture and it's Manchester United. Even if their form has been inconsistent  since the start of the season, I'm quite pumped that theyllease past Sheff Utd in that game.it might not really be a walk in the park kinda victory but ~ Victory is victory regardless of whether it was a hard fought one or not.

[redsun114]

There has been literally just 12 games in and we are talking about "who goes to European cups" already? I can guarantee you that we have no clue how the league will shape up even in the next few weeks let alone how it will shape up in the next 3-4 months and until the end.

So, let's calm down a bit, sure we can see how teams are doing and how the transfers have been for their new teams and all that but this is not the end ranking yet. United looks a bit loss on the field but have pure talent that is better than most of the league, they have been winning purely on their talent so far but if they can also get a cohesive team chemistry with a good strategy (tactic) they could actually finish even in top 3 because their talents are good enough except Liverpool and city of course.

a lot of people praise chelsea as indeed their performance so far is promising.

with all the young players dominated the whole squad they are doubted by many but they are missing the point that the chelsea young squad are gaining experience right now , they are acquired it faster than any other ordinary young players.
i am backing chelsea with its doubted squad to challenge the english premier league title race besides manchester city and leicester city .

the next match will be really interesting to see if chelsea is seriously a threat for liverpool or just a hype?

I have my bet on Chelsea winning Manchester city or atleast putting on a wonderful display to give her supporters some positive things to talk about and probably end up taking a point from the game. Lossing to Manchester United could be excuse as Lampard was still fresh and probably experimenting on the players and getting to know them. Lossing to Liverpool wasn' that disappointing to me as they're currently the best team in Europe and England but you see lossing to Manchester City, that would be just disappointing especially as City aren't the city they were two season back and not forgetting they have already lost 3 matches in just 12 games.

If Chelsea are to compete for the title be it in this season or future seasons, we have to fix our defense as their inexperience is costly us alot of goals.

Currently as it stands...

I see Manchester City winning that match but that would not dent Chelsea while they are part of the chasing pack. You are right Chelsea have played amazing football, I am surprised how easily Lampard has fitted in to the management role and how the players have bought in to the ethos. Well done to him for putting his faith in youth and taking risks even after the disastrous 0-4 loss at Manchester United on the opening day of the season.

I think Leicester will start slowing down and will not be part of the top three at the end of the season  but they will be 4th or 5th and it means Arsenal, Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur will try to end up in that 4th or 5th place.

Chelsea will be third and Liverpool and Manchester City will battle it out for the top spot but that could all change by the end of the year.
