Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

tokeweed, no dogg, the Man City game was postponed due to bad weather. I think the game would have been fine to go ahead. It was probably called off due to fan safety plus West Ham away fans would have travelled via train & I think loads of trains were suspended due to the terrible wind.

I think that this was bad for Manchester City as they are going to play this game when their ficture would be more tight.
Champions League games are coming and they don't have the option to lose more points in the Premier League as they are already too far behind. I hope this postponement would not affect them.

This is sad but we cannot fight with weather or nature disasters because these are not in any control they can happen any time so Manchester City is facing this right now its truly bad because they are going to face Real Madrid which is also in very good position and players doing good in recent matches.

The last 16 CL draw between Man City & Real really should be a fun 2 games to watch. Both teams play football the way it’s supposed to be player (attacking).

In reality both squads have seen better days & many of the star players are past their peaks but it’ll be two electric games, no doubt.

I think this is the first time we will see both teams play against each other in an official match although Man City have won before in a friendly match I think they still have a great chance to get past Real Madrid despite being not at their best this season so why I think that they can beat Madrid that is for two reasons Pep have lost the league and he his now turning his focus on what the owners brought him to did that is winning the UCL also Real Madrid is not the same team since Ronaldo left and he left a big show that Bale didn't fit in.

This is a match worth watching in the ladder 27. Both teams have a good performance at the moment it's just that Mancity EPL is left behind so the dream won't be repeated.
UCL being the main target is indeed true this is Pep's seriousness to focus on UCL in the next week the mini will make an appearance for the players later I like now Mancity who continues to dominate attacking with a stronger defense.

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.

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.

I totally agree with you here and even for me as a Spurs player,,, if Eriksen continued to play for us the way he did, we would be worse off, so I am happy he went to leave to see them all others in Inter Milan. For sure, I think they are better suited there. Zlatan going to Italy says a lot about the pace there as they would definitely not survive in EPL.

Mata also too slow now for EPL.

To play on the EPL must have a nimble and fast performance in feeds and attacks if it's slow then I don't think it will be used by the club itself because it's not interesting to look at.
But the game is suitable in Serie A because the match there is different from EPL so many players go to Serie A
Lukaku, Sanchez, Young and Eriksen would be good to play with Inter Milan because such games are good enough in the Serie A league.

I agree and I think the Premier League is a very fast paced league.In this league we rarely see a big number of relatively older players like it is common to see in Italy,Spain and perhaps a bit in Germany also.Mata has been a fantastic player when he was playing at Valencia but quite a few years have passed since then and of course the years are starting to feel for him too.

Therefore the English league is one of the most favored leagues because many reliable players as well as low teams are able to overthrow heavy opponents. The English league match has many surprises in its matches.
I don't like old players playing on EPL that will slow down the game and it won't be much to glance at games like that.

Leicester had to face two serious teams back to back- one being Wolves and other being Man City in next round. City have a good chance to increase the lead but they will only now be competing for the 2nd place at best.

Think about Leicester, I think they will be proud with what they have achieved so far- I mean maintaining at UCL spot. Unfortunately they are not performing as they did in the starting but still they are pretty much ahead of teams after them.

MONDAY 17TH FEBRUARY
Chelsea vs Man Utd - 8pm

This is the end of my match. I am waiting. I want to see the victory for Chelsea to continue to add points to stay in position 4, while Manunited has an unfavorable performance only x1 wins in my last five matches.
Bet over 2.5 goals to perfect when I watch later hopefully good luck in this big game.

Chelsea will most likely win that one, they’re better than United. If I had to have a bet on this one I’d go both teams to score, Chelsea ML.

Hopefully this is a surprise for Chelsea with more scores but with a win it will be a pleasure for me.
What is clear is this match should not be missed because the match here is full of surprises.

The rules don't think that this is an easy game for Chelsea.
Manchester united is pretty unstable this season but w should not forget that's they ar a danger in the premier league.

[DeathAngel]

United beat Chelsea 4-0 at the start of the season in reverse fixture but Lampard was really new in the job then & he was probably tinkering with tactics & formations to discover what his best team was. Chelsea are a better team right now & with home advantage I think they’ll show it.

I kind of understand why people like premier league as much as they do and that is really good. However looking at the last winners of champions league for example, in the last 20 years, there has been 4 winners of champions league from premier league for example, whereas real Madrid alone won it 4 times in the last 6 years alone.

I am not saying premier league is not good or La Liga is better or anything like that, but maybe we are looking at premier league with a bit of recency bias and think they have always been this good. Unfortunately for many British people, British football wasn't always this good, it has times when it is great and it has times when it is not really that great. However if we look into Serie A that is even worse, they had 3 but last one was 09-10 Inter.

Probably because British or English influence all over the world is so big? English is the most widely spoken language. Soccer is the most popular game in the world. So most televisions prefer an English league I guess? Barcelona and Real Madrid are bigger than La Liga itself so they were always an exception.

just now i saw a news from a portuguese football channel that says that there is a rumor about the possibility of pep guardiola leaving Manchester city to be the coach of the junventus and that Lionel Messi plus and more two players could be the reinforcement of Juventus, this can be possible or can it be an impossible and unsubstantiated rumor?

source in Portuguese and translated to english:

The English press points to Pep Guardiola as the coach who could succeed Maurizio Sarri if he leaves Juventus, where his work is increasingly criticized. And the newspaper 'The Sun' has even 'drawn' an eleven in the image of the Spanish coach, with Messi alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and two more 'reinforcements'.
