Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[yoseph]

always my concern is liverpool, Liverpool can win easily in every match and has one match left for Liverpool good opportunity for them to continue to add point so the difference in points goes farther in Premier League

I don’t think Liverpool is a concern to anyone this year as they have already won the Premier League title.Their focus on the second half of the season will be more in the Champions League as for the Premier League they are comfortably ahead and there is no real competition to their lead.

They will still be concentrating on the Premier League because they feel that they can go the entire season unbeaten that's what they are currently playing for at this point. The league has already been won and if you look at their squad I will say that they are in some ways favorite for the Champions League as well.

If I am not wrong then surely they are going to do Double as they have best squad for both Premier League and Champions League just Juventus and Barcelona can create some problems for them otherwise no team is near to Liverpool for this season they are complete package for double.

The classification is getting away from other clubs Liverpool is currently still the king of the EPL.

Don't forget, Liverpool still have 1 left remaining game versus Westham united on London stadium, it will make 16 point distance from Leicester when got 3 points today.

When will Liverpool play with WestHam? as far as I know this week Liverpool will play with Sheff United on the 3rd Friday.
And after that will be playing away with Tottenham Hotspurs, now a match that will be even more exciting might surprise again.
Liverpool points will never be achieved by any club because the difference is quite far.

 Can we just declare that Liverpool is the champions already? I mean first of all I don't see any other team getting a huge 10+ winning streak to close the gap, thats not happening at all, however even if one team goes out and wins every single match from now until the end, I am %99 sure liverpool is not going to lose 16 possible points until the season ends, few ties here and there maybe and maybe one or two loss but not a 16 point loss in total. In my eye its mathematically impossible now, I know thats not technically true but if someone wagered me 100 billion dollars for it I would accept the bet and said Liverpool is taking it and wouldn't even hesitate for a second for it, thats as guaranteed as it gets in the world of football.

13 points is probably the biggest any team has had as a lead in any season I can remember,,, but remember, all it takes is one bad patch of 3 or 4 losses to happen and the gap will reduce. In fact City had one bad patch last season if I recall where they lost and drew 3 games in a row. The psychological impact of let us say dropping 7 points in 3 games, it can be huge. 13 points becomes 6 and City still have to meet Liverpool again!

Last season Liverpoll led 8 points. and after City defeated them at Etihad in January they began to slip not by defeat but to draw with midfield teams. Until City finally closed the season with a 1 point advantage. But this season Liverpool will not let the same thing happen again. Although later they get the results of defeat or a draw in the second half of the season, they will still be champions 2019/2020

Liverpool EPL champions might be my 70% prediction Liverpool does not provide a gap to anyone who wants to face him so that when faced with they will lose to Liverpool.
Including Manchester City has been uprooted by Liverpool and this season the champions are in sight for Liverpool.

[DeathAngel]

There’s no way Liverpool let this title slip away, absolutely no way. Some UK bookies are paying out on them winning the league & not accepting any more bets on them to win it.

Even if they lose 2 or 3 it’s still not enough for the others to catch up the huge points gap. City will drop points too, they are not the same this season.

[beerlover]

Liverpool is just coasting to finish line as it seems, everyone assumes they are working hard to win the championship but Klopp built such a team that right now they are literally just pure talent that destroys anyone they played against, it is not even hard work for them, they are just miles miles better than any other team.

Maybe City could have been close but the talent gap between them has been increased by the managers, Klopp is just insane. Think about it this way, you are the manager of a team who just won the champions league and lost champions league on the finals one year before, and its transfer time and owner says buy whoever you want, would you seriously not get any players like Klopp? Dude built this awesome team from zero, that is seriously astonishing.

It was impossible until someone did realized that.
You know liverpool always doubted to win the english premier league every year since the millenium era approximately 20 years ago but they continue working hard and make it happen today with incredible records on going , all of these are impossible that day.

Today you can say there is no way other club can win 10 streaks and takeover liverpool. But later , the future can change unexpectedly.

I believe in the miracle of football , catching up 20 points is not impossible. Manchester city has the ability to do that.

I dont think that Manchester City and the others are tough competitors for Liverpool so far. Because the difference in points between them is very far and it is impossible for Liverpool to let other clubs beat them and let go of a great opportunity to win the trophy.
I like the Manchester City game, but they are not like the previous season and this season there are a lot of games that they play without points and once again I am very confident that Liverpool will lift the EPL trophy this season.

Liverpool have a game in hand as well don't forget. Of course it's possible that Liverpool could slip up but to throw essentially 5 games away at this point is hard to envision unless there's some major injuries. Don't forget that City and Leicester would also need to win all their games as well during this bad patch to catch up.  Liverpool only lost one game last season but drew seven times and it was those draws that cost them in the end as City lost four matches and only drew the two. Both Man City and Leicester have just been far too shakey recently and I think they'll both drop more points (Leicester more so than City). I think Liverpool will end up with some more draws though. They've been very lucky in a few of their last games to come away with the full three points.

Some UK bookies are paying out on them winning the league & not accepting any more bets on them to win it.

Really? Why would they do that? I can understand them not accepting any more bets on Liverpool to win but are they paying out the full amount or letting people take an early cash-out of a lower amount? I could understand the partial cash out as they try to cut their losses from what likely is an inevitability but the season is far from over and there's nothing in it for the bookies to give a full cash out right now. The bookies desperately did this when Leicester were on to win the league as they were going to take massive losses if that came in, which was looking very likely, so they were desperately offering partial cash outs to try soften the blow.

Do you want to make a small bet regarding Lampard future in Chelsea since we have a difference of opinion regarding the matter?

I'm down! Wanna do it like this? my $20 (Lampard will get sacked before December 31st) for your $30 (Lampard will be Chelsea's manager on Wednesday, January 1st 2020, in the game Brighton vs Chelsea). Quote me and it's on (:

It is on. I did't check the game but the date and amounts are enough to make this bet work. The looser shall pay out BTC eqivalent of 20 or 30 USD as per rate on January 1st 2020 at the start of mentioned Brighton-Chelsea game 

I will leave you neutral trust rating with reference for this post as a way to track the bet. I have few of them going on and it helps me keep track.

Great! Good luck, man 

@tomahawk9
Doesn't look so good for you at the moment

Chelsea was doing so well for quite some time and I thought this bet is mine for sure. Then came few losses against week teams without scoring a goal and I started to worry a bit. Then came Arsenal game and Chelsea is playing like shit in first half and loosing 1:0. Here I thought, is it possible he will get sacked few days before our deadline. After turning that one over I am even confident enough to write this post and try to challenge my luck.

Yeah, i think it's safe to say Lampard will get to keep his job after January 1st  So, you've been paid already! Check your PMs.

Fair play to Lampard, top 4 in the EPL and RO16 in the Champions League...I'm impressed. The team did look a bit shaky from time to time, but overall, he's done a terrific job so far.

[50 Cent]

When will Liverpool play with WestHam? as far as I know this week Liverpool will play with Sheff United on the 3rd Friday.

my bad, I am sorry I don't read Liverpool vs Westham was rescheduled on 30 January 2020.
Are Nat Phillips and Minamino will be playing versus Sheff United on the 3rd Friday?

Turns out that Lampard really knows what he is doing. Those goals in the last 10 minutes against Arsenal, made me confident that I gone with Chelsea again in this coming round too against Brighton. I hope Chelsea manage to get another win.

By the way, just made my picks for FJM. I missed last two rounds and thought to have enough. So, completed the job very early in this round.

[joniboini]

Nat Phillips and Minamino will be playing versus Sheff United on the 3rd Friday?

Phillips could play iirc but Minamino won't. He'll be eligible to play for LFC from the FA Cup match, just like Virgil in 2018.

Excited to see where Minamino will play. Klopp will probably stick with 2 AMF so Keita and Minamino will slot in.

Leno's mistake helps them to get points. Not to mention Mustafi is really bad recently.

The equalizer?
Yes! But isn't it a part of the game?
How about the 2nd goal? Wasn't it a clean one? Leno had nothing to do but to freeze himself and see the ball gone pass in between his legs. Abraham deserves the credit here.

By the way, keeper are making mistakes is not much to raise questions I guess but how the VAR is changing a match, is something to worry these days.

Guess it fuels up more when there is a good rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea. Chelsea defeated Arsenal twice this year including the Europa league final. There were lot of turning points. We can't held only Leno responsible for losing the game. Leno is a good goalkeeper and mistake do happen. Just let it go..Arsenal still have plenty of time to fix things up for themselves if they focus on from here onwards.

Also we can't say Chelsea didn't deserved that. They put a lot of effort in that match.

I don't really have a problem with it, just pointing out that the goals happen because some players made a mistake. Depending on your PoV, you can call it 'luck' or 'part of the game'. Liverpool's goal against Sheffield this season is another example.

Arsenal are currently being defeated by both big teams and small teams so even though they have tried hard to win it I think it's still difficult too, the goalkeeper's mistake is definitely there too but it's not entirely the goalkeeper's fault which is clearly his abyss.
After losing to Chelsea this week Arsenal will face their heavy team this week with Manchester United getting hit even more for Arsenal.
