Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Scoring from penalty Kicks was never a thing for Aguero. How Pep still picks him up to talk them is beyond my understanding 
With Players like Kevin De bruyne and Mahrez on the pitch, why is Aguero still given Pen duties?

The outcome of the Leicester game was shocking as Manchester city completely dominated the game and I'm quite surprised it only ended with a one goal lead. Thought Leicester could trouble City but that wasn't the case as city had almost twice of what Leicester's stats from the match. Leicester only had 309 passes and 19 shots at goal while City had 668 & 18  respectively.

Mancity kept pressing Leicester early in the game until the end. I thought this would be a lot of goals because I knew that Vardie couldn't be doubted either, but last night Vardie didn't score and that his shot always missed I thought it wasn't fun just 1 goal was created in the match this.
It looks like Chelsea will continue to chase Leicester because there are now fewer points in comparison.

What a great win from Chelsea yesterday.
Mourinho lost his chance to win Chelsea on an away game and provide to the fans all around London that he is the best coach. Lampard was very well prepared and showed that London is blue!

Lampard must mastered all Mourinho's tactics and prepared very well for that game we shouldn't forget that Tottenham had many of its first players injured the likes of Keane, son etc having lost their last UCL match to the lower rated Leipzig, definitely it's a must win match for Chelsea to keep their contention for top four in EPL.

We have seen a lot of favorite teams losing to weaker teams this season, Watford might be one of the few teams stuck at the bottom of the table currently but I think the players of Watford are fighting very hard to try and get their team out from the relegation zone, maybe Watford might still be able to get some points when they play against Manchester United today.

I know VAR made a mistake and my team was to profit but I think everyone should realize that no system is ever going to be perfect,,, and nobody wants to make a wrong decision on purpose. I remember Son's red card that was successfully appealed. But yes, nobody should ever play with studs down on somebody else's leg. I saw it in real life and it is not something anyone ever wants to experience.

It is easy to guess Mourinho's tactics by Lampard in any way by being able to overcome because knowing Chelsea is everything for him Lampard was the most successful coach when he first served as Chelsea and was able to stay in the top position with other big EPL rivals.
Lampard is able to keep Chelsea in 4th place and will qualify for CL next season and I like Lampard's coaching at this time.

Reassuring him that his performance is ALWAYS stable and he can do it
BTW the worst thing that can happens is that your substitute score the only goal just minutes after you are out. Too bad!

It's still unclear why Guardiola still gives him permission to take penalties. It's obvious that Aguero is no longer at his prime and should be replaced in some matches. Man city is one of the few teams that have a great squad with talented players that are on and off the field. I would've preferred a City draw though. It would've meant Liverpool would have less games to win.

Wtf are you talking about past his prime?  Lol.  He's the second highest goal scorer in the league (with Vardy just leading by one goal).

Not just that, if you had to pick a guy from your club to find himself in goal scoring chance from whole premier league, who would you pick? Aguero would be my first pick in every single season in the last 5-10 years. There just isn't a more complete and crafty forward in PL.

Granted, he is shit on penalties this year for whatever reason, but he would play every game for me and maybe take a break from penalties in the near future.

I don't think the result is draw or even Man United lost, United play at Old Trafford and the result won from Chelsea increase their motivation to win again because if they wins, they can go to position 5 with an opportunity to go to UCL next seasons.

There are always controversy with all system, teams that benefit from the VAR decision will be happy, contrary the team that loses.

I agree with @Strongkored Manchester United will not experience defeat or get a draw, unless Walford gets luck. Surely Manchester United's motivation comes from the previous week's victory. Which is where the United Man can get a win at Chelsea home.
But anything can happen in a match, let's see the match.

Wolves have just scored against lowly Norwich, the fact that Man City are banned from the CL means 5th place will get into next seasons CL. Wolves are in the mix for that 5th spot, would be great if they could get it.

Has there been an official decision from UEFA? give me the news link.
It will be more interesting if Manchester City fail next season to enter the CL competition, because Man.united Spurs Wolves will continue to try to be in position 5 because it will go into CL qualification next season.

[tomahawk9]

Good ol' Watford is back. Good thing i avoided this game in my bet slip, i was going to back the Hornets. Btw, Greenwood's goal was great, but Martial's goal with the filthy skill 

Wolves have just scored against lowly Norwich <...>

It's safe to say that Norwich will probably be relegated this season. Kinda sucks because Norwich was the new sensation in the EPL at the start of the season...I remember when Pukki kept scoring goals week in and week out, his good form even got him a Player of the month award :/

[Furious 7]

Watford is getting worse and continues to suffer successive defeats, now in the relegation zone maybe next season we will not see the bitcoin logo again in EPL because Watford will go down to division 2. It's sad.

They should improve their style of play and start winning games if they are to still be considered worthy of having the bitcoin logo on their jersey, lol . Well it's not over for them, there is still hope not to be relegated, for me the only team that is certainly going to be relegated is Norwich city. Watford are down in 19th position with 24 points, just one point away from safety, so hopefully you may still be seeing the bitcoin logo next season, lol.

There just isn't a more complete and crafty forward in PL.

And arguably even in the history of the EPL,  Kun is definitely up there amongst the likes of shearer, Henry etc as one of the best strikers to ever play in the EPL, one missed penalty shouldn't alter that, should it.

[DeathAngel]

Arsenal 2-1 Everton at half-time. Everton took the lead inside 10 minutes but Arteta’s men turned it round & now lead 2-1. It should be a good 2nd half, we’ll hopefully see more goals.

Edit - Fuck Everton equalised late in injury time, I posted & went to get a drink.

2-2

We are talking about how lucky he was in (missing) penalty kicks obviously
Man United did it and it secured the 5th rank temporarily, and for Arsenal they are leading until now with 2-1. Arsenal never fails you even while you are tipping a text! 2-2 in the first half between Arsenal and Everton

Nope it is 2-2... Everton scored at the end of the first half 45+4!
You will never know when Arsenal turns the table upside down or the table turns them upside down...

Manchester United won this match thanks to Bruno as he has completely changed their playing style, and if he continues giving such performances then I fee that Manchester United can secure a top four spot easily.

@tomahawk9 Martial goal was absolutely brilliant and did you see Bruno taunted him in a fun way that he should have scored on his first pass only, and yea even Greenwood goal was good and hopefully he’ll continue to score more goals in coming days.

Arteta is really doing an amazing job on Arsenal players,  if it was Emery,  Arsenal might have lost or draw against Everton,  because his substitution is mostly awful,  but look at the turn around Arteta is doing,  Mustafi looking like a Prime Cafu,  it's been a while I saw him play so good as he has done today,  COYG!
