Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Furious 7]

After more than half the season the discussion about LFC is unbeaten now with two defeats with a sizable score the discussion turns to Liverpool's defeat.
I Believe that Klopp knows the best strategy he is running (though I'm sure he doesn't expect bad results) but playing all the core players in all match can make things worse so focusing on what they can achieve is the best strategy.

This is a warm conversation where Liverpool lost to Watford and Chelsea I know that Klopp has thought about all this and they don't care because they are focusing right now is CL because EPL is in front of the eye will definitely be champions this season.
I know some of the core players are not played when dealing with Chelsea and the Liverpool defense is not strong enough so this is easy for Chelsea to win in the FA Cup.
Maybe this is not very important for Klopp.

Where Lampard got it all wrong was his inability to sign an experience striker that can score lots of goals to work with Abraham. Giroud is an experience player but lack goals. Batshuayi is inexperience just like Abraham therefore he can't be relied on.

Have you forgotten that Frank Lampard joined in when the transfer ban was already in effect for your favorite team? I wouldn't Judge his inability to sign good players until the transfer ban has ended.

Then what happened next? We (Chelsea) fought and the ban was lifted months before the January transfer window opened yet he couldn't sign even one player or get players other clubs are willing to loans. I'm not asking he sign all new starting eleven but at least a striker to assist Abraham would had been nice and we wouldn't be in this situation right now (struggling to retain the 4th position to qualify for champions league).

Actually it's three straight defeat, and they didn't reply to any of the goals scored. Atl. Madrid won them 1-0 (champions league), Watford won them 3-0 (premier league) and last night Chelsea won them 2-0 (FA cup). Didn't plan to watch the match but thank God I did because it was very entertaining. We could have easily scored 4 but Pedro and Giroud missed their one on one chances with the keeper.

Kepa was also outstanding in stopping three straight shots directed at him. Guess him getting benched has hit him hard and will bringout his best for every game he plays from now henceforth.

I don't know if this is a losing streak for Liverpool, will it continue like this? next week will face in the second leg of the champions league I am afraid liverpool will suffer because of x3 losing I am afraid the players are not confident anymore so their concentration is unstable due to yesterday's defeat.

I know that Chelsea made a good performance when they beat Liverpool with full confidence.

I think that Liverpool is just relaxing a bit before the big match against Atletico Madrid where they will show they full power and most probably dominate and win the game.This losing streak does not really mean anything to Liverpool as they are focused in the Champions only for the moment.The only good thing from this losing streak is that probably Liverpool odd will be probably higher.

about yesterday FA Cup games:

Chelsea - Liverpool ( 2 - 0 )



The first goal that Liverpool suffered because they had a big failure in the Liverpool defense and the Liverpool goalkeeper made a very ridiculous defense and again the second goal had an error in defense and the Liverpool goalkeeper made another ridiculous defense. interestingly, liverpool failed to score 1 goal at least, this clearly shows that the next game against Atletico de Madrid Liverpool has more than 60% chance of losing by many goals

Newcastle - West Bromwich ( 3 - 2 )

this was an intense game, i thought Newcastle would win by 3 - 0. But West Bromwich scored 2 goals.

Reading vs Sheffield United ( 1 - 2 )

It was no big surprise to see Sheffield United win this game

I even said before, Liverpool will get the win in the match yesterday. This is really a bad week for Liverpool. They lost 3 times this week which were UCL, EPL and FA.

I hope they can get the UCL match and get to the next round, how could the defending champions not qualify in the last 16.

We had another disappointing outing yesterday which resulted in us leaving the FA Cup. This means we can't win a triple this year. We conceded 6 goals in the space of a week which were all unreplied.  I think Klopp should make winning the premier league of top of this season's priority list. Regardless of the results of the last couple of games, I'm sure that we will win the PL title. WE ARE LIVERPOOL. We'll return to winning ways soonest.

I have been very cautious after the defeat Liverpool suffered against Watford. looking at the next Champions League game:

Liverpool - Atletico Madrid

so far the games that the Atletico Madrid has always scored goals and concedes goals. But in the last two games liverpool failed to score at least 1 goal and conceded 2 or more goals. this is not a good sign. I want to see what will be the performance of the next game of liverpool against Boumemouth

I'm sure that we will win the PL title

it is at these times that it is necessary to put on the players' heads that one should play well until the last game, one should not relax just because it has a great advantage

I think that this game was crucial for Liverpool.
The team shows that they are tired even if they are playing home or away.
Such a huge win for Chelsea which might be a good morale booster for Frank's team.

After 2 consecutive losses for Liverpool this week, i am sure Klopp would be rallying the team to thrive and end the trut, because a loss to bournemouth will bring a huge pressure on Liverpool while they face Atletico.

Arsenal will welcome westham, knowing that a victory will take them closer to the top 6, while a loss sends them back to mid table. Westham should get a draw, a 2-2 draw.

The big match is Manchester derby, Ole leads  with 2 wins over Guardiola this season, so will he make it 3 wins from 4 ? or will Pep city fight back and revenge ?
I predict a 3 - 1 victory for united.

Chelsea - Liverpool ( 2 - 0 )

Do those matches trigger the worst period for Liverpool in this season? I hope not because if it is what actually happen with Liverpool, they will lose the next important match against Borussia Dortmund. I know that match will be played on the Anfield stadium, but who knows how Liverpool will react with their last bad week's results. They can come back to beat Dortmund and go forwards or keep slippening in form and will be kicked out of the Champions League.

Isn't Liverpool facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League?

Yeah, Liverpool suffered a ugliness last week after 2x defeats and couldn't get back, I know it's bad but for the champions league they won't let it go, of course Liverpool will insist on winning against Atletico Madrid in the second leg 1 goal behind not an obstacle for Liverpool maybe at Anfield will happen 2-0.

[slaman29]

Poor Spurs and poor Liverpool, but good for Chelsea and Norwich. I think Norwich will feel they are in relegation battle and may not make it, especially when the ones above them can beat Liverpool;)

But now Spurs only have UCL to worry about (or maybe not even that after next week) so they have every focus on EPL now. Feel sorry for them really!

It is a bit odds to have a prediction that A. Madrid won't score a single goal at Anfield stadium. They have good players on the front line and good enough to score a goal to help them having very very big advantages to move onwards and beat Liverpool with aggregated result.

They are both good teams and to be fair I would say that the chance to have aggregated win for them is 50-50.

I have not watch any match from last few days. What I saw on that Chelsea vs Liverpool match is that Liverpool was not with their main team. So the juniors played against full armed Chelsea team. I would not say poor Liverpool. At the moment all the focus for Liverpool is the match against Atl in CL. But before that we have another upcoming match in PL against Bournemouth. I hope we get an easy win in this match.

But neither was Chelsea. Their youngster also made the game and played better than Liverpool youngsters.

Billy Gilmour 18 played the full game. Mason Mount is also 21. So I think it is fair to say both sides did not have full team.

I'm not saying Liverpool suck, I'm saying they sucked in this game. Kids beat Everton remember?

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Kids beat Everton remember?

I do but I think this league is not what Liverpool looking at. Their eyes on EPL which they are very close to have it and then CL and it depends on the coming match against Atl in Anfielnd. Except the last match against Watford and the away match against Atl, Liverpool seems untouchable.

This week there will be a Manchester United vs Manchester City derby match.

Of course this is a tough challenge for Manchester City will be faced with a heavy opponent that is Manchester United I think this is a prestigious match so Mancity does not want to lose just like that, then on the 13th Thursday Thursday Manchester City will be confronted again with Arsenal who yesterday was delayed for the match this 28th week more exams for manchester will be faced with continued heavy teams.

In the next week, he will compete with Real Madrid in CL, even though they have won in the first leg, but Manchester must prepare their defense because Real Madrid is really dangerous.

Are Manchester City players not overwhelmed?

Manchester City is a good squad with very abundant and good substitutes on the bench. Anyway, their key players will be overwhelmed if Pep won't have good plans to use his key players. I don't think they have too much troubles from the match schedule but Premier League is not their priority this time, IMO.

Will Manchester City's ban appeal be accepted by UEFA? It will likely be rejected and they will not be allowed to join Champions League next year, no matter what which position they will end in Premier League at the end.

Real Madrid and Champions League's trophy is the biggest target of Manchester City so they will concentrate all their sources to the league and the coming important match with Real Madrid.

Manchester United must concentrate their sources for Premier League and I think they will win the derby match.

Well indeed Manchester City will not focus on EPL because there are sanctions that ensnare so it's useless to focus on EPL if it doesn't get into CL next season.
I admit that Manchester City has a great reserve game.

I know this is a big target for Manchester City because only this trophy can be pursued. I think right now CL in Manchester is in a safe position because it has won as long as it strengthens the defense so as not to concede a goal.
