Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

It should be a straightforward victory for Tottenham tonight, perhaps a 2:1 victory because Tottenham defence line makes mistakes alot which will lead to a goal scoring opportunity for Southampton poachers.

Do you see spurs scoring more than 2 goals?

Spurs should win but it depends how strong each line up is. Coaches tend to mix it up in the cup to keep players fresh. Don’t forget S’ton could have been 1-0 or 2-0 up vs LFC before HT in the previous game.

We are in 88 minutes and Spurs leading by 3 - 2 Son is man who done this for them as once they was struggling with 1 - 2 and suddenly two good goals bring back them in game Southampton was also very good but today was not belong to them so they lost good game.

I  think it was nice seeing spurs score more than 2 goals, and as predicted the spurs team conceded once again.
Perhaps, i can now draw a straight line comparison that chelsea, manutd and spurs have the tendencies to concede at any time of the match.

The win will be a big relief to coach Jose Mourinho, because he faces alot of scrutiny from the press and media men.

Don't forget to add Arsenal in your comparison, this four clubs are something else this season, their defence are competing on who can deliver the worst performances in most games. The rest could be excuse but United and Chelsea don't have any excuse. Manchester United spend big in acquiring Harry Maguire and have one of the best keepers in the world yet they're underperforming. Kepa (world costliest keeper can't save a ball)

About the spurs game, truely they where lucky to have won as without the Stephen's own goal and son's penalty the game would had probably ended in favour of Southampton as they played brilliantly in controlling the game in both ball possession and attempts at goal.

Congratulations to Tottenham fans on the hard forth victory against Southampton today in the FA cup competition. The win tonight means they would be playing against Norwich for a spot in the 5th round. Of course, it wasn't their best performance as Lloris was at fault at more than one occasions. Going against a team like Norwich, I feel they're already through to the 6th round (not forgotten the Norwich vs Man city ordeal though ). Mourinho should endeavor to win a trophy. The premier league is clearly out of their reach. Maybe FA Cup?

The possibility are very high since Mourinho himself is a specialist at winning silverware which was the main reason behind his new job. The club president even made it clear that Mourinho was brought in specifically to win them trophies, something the previous manager couldn't achieve irrespective of keeping Tottenham in the top 4 position for four years. Last season was probably their closest after losing to the champions Liverpool in the champions league final.

But to be more realistic, I think he needs time. He has to be given the freedom to buy the type of players he needs to deliver as usual before his 3rd season syndrome kicks in. Winning the FA cup this season will be a very big statement since that'll be tottenham's first major silverware in many years.

Maybe Mourinho will try to get the FA Cup this season tactics have been found at Tottenham so I think he will focus on this FA cup.
And the next target of overtaking Chelsea from position 4 to advance to the UCL cup next season, there, Mourinho will give his best strategy, maybe what he wants in the player will be granted soon. believe that Mourinho at Spurs because he has found his comfortable place.

Southampton were equalising until they gave away the penalty. They were good yesterday as I predicted but they had so many injuries in defense line. Anyway good for Spurs as they have to face Norwich in quarters and I think Spurs will easily get past them.

There must be lot going in the mind of Mourinho with FA cup quarters, UCL (round of 16) and getting back Spurs in spot for next year UCL advance. Its hard to speculate which one is in the top priority. All of it? Hard to say...

Mounriho has a lot of experience at UCL even had time to win several other clubs and is now a top priority for Spurs because they will get the FA Cup this season and of course at UCL Mourinho must prepare again because the opponents are also very strict so that a good strategy must be applied.
I think the FA and UCL will be the top priority this season, after that I only think of overtaking Chelsea in 4th place.

in yesterday's game Southampton FC made serious mistakes in defense and that's what made tottenham win. In the game of manchester city - Tottenham, I saw a manchester city that failed when it came to scoring goals and did not have concentration in the defense. But that does not mean that other teams will make the same mistake so that tottenham wins. If Mourinho manages to hire good players for defense and attack, then tottenham could become a very strong team

UCL is not an easy competition, any team can target to get one ticket to the final but the results may be different. Its hard to guess who will get the chance to reach the final and become a champion. The manager is experience might help the team achieve good results for each match played, but everything will be determined after 90 minutes on the field.

After Mourinho arrived, in my opinion the Tottenham game got better and more fun to watch. Occupying fifth place in the standings is very likely they will also survive for the UCL competition next season but it would be better if they were in the top 4 positions.

As a Chelsea fan I will hate this statement to come into reality although I'm not doubting Mourinho's ability to deliver such performance. Chelsea aren't playing convincingly and aren't winning winnable games as they previously did. We'll be playing Manchester United next and it'll be a very difficult game considering we're playing at home which hasn't been in our favour compared to playing away.

We hardly wins games in front of our home fans and when we do, it isn't a dominating win. Also Manchester united aren't that easy to beat against top clubs since they come with a very attacking mindset. They already beat us 4-0 and also won us again this season although I can't remember the tournament but still hope Lampard can revenge those defeat when we host them at Stanford bridge. Fingers cross.

Chelsea are a better team than Man Utd, I definitely think it’ll be a win for Chelsea. United with Ole are a poor quality side, they haven’t improved on bit under his management.

United's are not the best either. They have been struggling as well. About Manchester United being "strong", thats only stats speaking and that can be broken in any clash. Chelsea are the favourites at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea next 3 meetings:

1) Chelsea vs Man Utd. (EPL)
2) Chelsea vs Spurs. (EPL)
3) Chelsea vs Bayern (UCL)

All home games and against some big names upcoming for Chelsea in 2 weeks . I am excited about the last two.

Yeah, I know that the UCL competition is very prestigious and tight because a lot of top European clubs are playing there but isn't it possible for Mourinho to win the final this season?
We will see on 20/2 that Tottenham will face Leipzig how Mounriho can stay in the last 16 and advance to the next round, even though Liepzig, a strong team from Germany, still Spurs are able to overcome it for 90 minutes.
Believe in Mourinho he's experienced there so he knows how to differentiate between playing at EPL and UCL.

Lampard still doesn't have good experience at UCL will he be able to win against Bayern because it's very difficult just look at the match Bayern in his domestic league won with a lot of scores.

Chelsea are definitely capable of getting past Bayern over 2 legs. Bayern are not the team of 4-5 years ago. If Chelsea get a good result at home in the 1st leg then they definitely have a good chance of reaching the 1/4 final.

[leea-1334]

Wow, so happy for my team! I have to be brutally honest to say Spurs were not the better team in the past two games and yet somehow we managed to win. First against City in the EPL and now against Southampton last night in FA cup.

Mourinho loves these cup games so I hope he can somehow find a way to take us through to Champions League. Another final too much to ask for?

That was Mourinho's strategy applied in yesterday's match so this was not luck but tactics and good performance.
I am also happy that Spurs have now begun to improve in the hands of Mourinho and I want to really see the game at UCL to come.
Next week Spurs will also have the opportunity to win again because in the EPL will be against low-level Aston Villa.

I feel good point for Spurs in last night match they play very good underpressure and done good job in absense of Kane its plus point for them now they are on good run this can turn some good tables in their favour but still its very long way to go for them as in next few matches they are going to face Aston villa Leipzig and Chelsea these all matches to watch as they can do some good.

Well yeah defensively not maybe but they are attacking quite well to be honest and with Chelsea loopholes in defense it becomes quite hard to say. Bayern have good attacking like with Lewandoski leading it and they have Gnabry who is a dangerous man also. It's evenly matched as I see.
