Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Slow death]

Brighton - Watford ( 1 - 1 )

man, i wonder how the watford coach’s sleep must have been. doucoure scored an excellent goal and Watford was winning the game and had everything to end that game with win, until Mariappa did the unthinkable: scoring a goal against his own team. I can't understand how he didn't see that he was scoring a goal against own team? the gesture he makes when scoring a goal seemed intentional. In any case, the coaches of these teams:




they must not be sleeping very well, the pressure on them must be very great in these next games

[Captain Corporate]

 Mariappe goal was seriously weird, dude literally scored and it looked like he was trying to score as well, which really baffles me, we have seen thousands of own goals in soccer so far in history, hell maybe tens of thousands if we say history, but I do not remember a goal that looked like it could have been totally not scored and looked intentional in the way this goal was. I am not going to go into conspiracy stuff like maybe he was bribed etc etc, those do not make sense at all and never have made any sense before, I was just thinking these guys are playing 90 minute games and they are literally peak human condition people who posses both talent and physique, so maybe that at this very moment he just drew blank in his mind and assumed he was scoring and realized his mistake too late, he actually tried to score but realized it too late that it was his own goal that he was scored after the fact. Weirder things have happened so I do not assume any ill intend.

I believe Ighalo will be an instant hit at manchester united, and will provide the attacking spark and goal scoring threat that has been often missing in the United frontline.

I have a feeling he won't live up to the expectations at Manchester United. He's already 30. A much younger Lukaku even looked more promising before he joined United and guess what happened. I think there is a lot that needs to change at Old Trafford before the glory get back there.

Sorry guys but Ighalo is not for me going to make an impact, I agree. Benteke is to me a player a lot like him and even so he struggles to make big impact, is slow and not super creative. I do not doubt his finishing but if you do not very good suppliers around you, then do not expect to have many opportunities to convert,,,

I think it's not judged that way, Ighalo is premier league proven with his stint in average Watford
And to rebuff your point, Ighalo is indeed a fast player with beautiful hold up play, aggressive and strong.

He will offer more upfront for united than martial doea

Latest news coming from the Etihad now is that the Manchester city Vs West Ham game has been postponed "due to extreme weather conditions", for the fans who would have made their way to the Etihad this evening as well as millions of footballing viewing centers worldwide, they will have to wait for when the game will be rescheduled, I don't think pep and his team would like this development, they would just have wanted to get this game over with.

The barely interesting game this weekend in EPL was reported due to the bad weather...
Hopefully there was some alternatives elsewhere

If Man Utd are expecting Ighalo to have a big impact on their season then it shows how far they’ve fallen. They really are a midtable team now aren’t they.

Surely they are because still they need some good coach for improving quality and still they have some more problems which are waiting for solved but sadly they are fail to do any positive thing for team look like they will hardly in top 7 this season because not top 5 sports already out of their reach.

Man Utd had been lacking a point man striker that is why they signed ighalo in the absence of injured Rashord the likes of Martial and greenwood are more or less a winger I remembered when barbartov, Lious Saha, Ronney are no 9 (striking role)  then they banged a lot of goals then, Ighalo would also want to prove his worth by helping Man Utd regain their form having played well with a short stint in Watford fc. I hope he proved his critics wrong by scoring goals for his new team.

I hope to see him succeed in the red shirt because he took a pay cut by half and United really need a true number9 and I think that if they get him the ball in front of the goal he will not miss also it will be a shame to see such talents that united have will not be playing in champions for another season and if they fail to reach ot for a second season they will never be a destination for good players and we are starting to see some players avoiding them I think United should make it a top priority to get in 4rth spot.

What a boring weekend it has been so far. None of the top flight teams played. Manchester City game against west ham that I was looking forward to was canceled earlier this afternoon. Can't wait for 15th – when Liverpool take out bottom placed Norwich City. We're definitely getting all 3 points considering the last time Norwich won Liverpool was in the 1993/1994 season. Elsewhere, Chelsea will be hosting Manchester United. Another game on my watchlist for week 26.

I thought the Manchester City vs West Ham match was going to be played this evening only to check in my sofascore app and saw that it was postponed. Does anyone know the reason for the postponement?

Thanks for the info. I guess the game might then be played within a week since this game week is stretched out. I wonder why they had to stretch all this game week's 10 games throughout the whole 2 weekends thou. This weekend was so boring on Premier League's side... Some of us had to seek refugee in Italia's Seria A

Someone is feeling like me, I already whined about it 
Dortmund yesterday and Inter today games were amazing. At the opposite Barca one was bad, very bad.
But lets stick in the EPL here since next weekend seems to be interesting

I just realized when looking at Inter lineup just how many players they have who were last season and even this season playing for English Premier League! In fact,,, watching them might almost feel like watching EPL. Now what do you guys think of this,,, Sanchez, Lukaku and Young from Manchester United! Inter look so strong now, especially after coming down from 0-2 to win like this.

You know they need just one more win and slip from Juve to take top.

Frankly i do think it was a beautiful performance from inter milan, but NO! they are not a strong team.
Against any of the big teams in europe or serie a, inter milan will not come back from a 2 nil loss to win the match.

The win against milan was due to the poor performances of the milan players at the second half of the match.

But lets see in a few weeks, what will come off Inter milan by match day 35.

Let’s face it though Lukaku, Sanchez & Young weren’t great in the PL before they left were they? Young & Sanches especially are way past their peaks & the slower pace of Serie A will suit them.

It’d be nice to see somebody other than Juve win the title for once.

They come on top against a team which is in a bad situation.If these players of EPL of last year were really strong then I think Inter would not have a lot of draws against low ranking teams and at their home field.

It was a 93mph storm which cancelled some flights and also the match of Manchester City yesterday while he other games were all boring to watch.

Serie A is very good league for elder players. There are many good players had their great seasons at the end of their careers in Serie A. It is not strange to see football stars do well when they are above 35 years old in Serie A. The impressive return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Derby Della Madonnina yesterday is a good evidence for that. Sanchez and Young have good pace so they do have many opportunities to take advantage of it.

It’d be nice to see somebody other than Juve win the title for once.

Every domination has to end in some seasons and somehow. The domination of Lyon in League 1 finally ended years ago (after they won 7 or 8 titles in a row, as I remembered). Mostly, when a domination of one club ends, they will lose their first positions for many years to come back. In Premier League, we have the evidence from Liverpool (they need decades to come back) and Manchester United recent years (after the retirement of Sir. Alex Ferguson).

Players performance is influenced by a number of factors, and one of the major ones is proper management and I believe this was lacking (and still is) in the Manchester United technical area. We see players blossoming under managers like Klopp and Pep, but it's difficult to pick out a single player who sustained growth at Man Utd so far under Ole's management.

Lukaku was still a top player and had performed in the EPL, so I doubt it was the high pace that got to him, rather he wasn't getting the boosters he is getting at Milan now.

Ah...  I thought it was the nCoV thing reaching Europe.  That's been going around quite a lot in the news.  Lolol.  Even events outside of China (but at Asia) have been postponed or cancelled.
