Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Liverpool is maybe cursed not to win the EPL.
They have so big advantage this season and a postponement happened - a pandemic was only able to stop this team!
Hopefully, EPL and FA will find a solution to end both cups this season.

Hopefully Premier League will finish and Liverpool will crowned but I am feeling FA cup is going to be cancelled as remaining matches need some good intention and FA will not go with this more burden on players so they will cancel this and Premeir League will go ahead its much wanted thing is going to happen.

[Trofo]

The FA & the PL are currently trying to devise a plan to finish the season. Last night certain media outlets were suggesting all 20 teams will be quarantined at the England teams HQ in Burton, UK. The games will get finished there & all be televised with no fans.

That sounds like a great idea from my point of view, especially if they shift the starting date to something sooner, like tomorrow

Unfortunately, this idea is nowhere near as good for the players and their families. But they are paid well and a lot of us is suffering in some way on professional plan due to Corona virus so maybe it is time for players to make a sacrifice to keep their teams alive and financially secure.

I think It'll be more phenomenal that Liverpool would be winning the league this year.  It'll be more significant and won't be forgotten too soon as it's around the same time when the world suffered and would eventually conquered a pandemic.

Somebody: When did Liverpool first win the Premier League?
Everybody: The year the world won against a global pandemic.

You see why it's significant now? Even the average Manchester United fan don't know when they won their first or last premier league title. 

There's nothing cursed about this. Don't forget that Liverpool have arguably been the best team across all of europe this season.

How are you sure that we are going to win against this pandemic and most importantly during 2020?
I do not say that Liverpool is not one of the best teams across Europe. I am saying that coronavirus raises a barrier to a season that was pretty much done for Liverpool from the beginning of 2020.

More precisely it was less fortunate because when the performance was good even almost all EPL clubs were beaten by Liverpool in every match and this time they had to be hindered by this pandemic I think their dreams must be delayed again for a long time even though they have become strong champions this season but still they can't beat the trophy in front of their fans.

Liverpool are only the best in the EPL but in the champions league they are also out of luck and eliminated by athletico madrid so that the best European team is no longer on its side.

Liverpool this year dominated totally in the Premier League and will be well deserved Champions for the Premier League 2020.Even though many will relate this winning to the global pandemic we are all facing we are living in Internet and information technology era so many will see the stats of this Premier League and they will all know that it was a totally deserved title and not because of the global pandemic.

Before this pandemic, Liverpool showed their best appearance, even they were almost unbeatable in the EPL, now there is a pandemic because of the virus, so that many who are associated with Liverpool will not be champions or curses, but in my opinion Liverpool clearly win purely because of their appearance on the field that is so nice.

In fact, I will appreciate Liverpool for having very far points with other clubs, meaning that Liverpool will be listed as EPL champions this season.

[el kaka22]

I doubt anything will change for the future of Liverpool, I mean at the worst case this season will be cancelled, I am still suspicious about a cancellation, I think all leagues are still waiting and postponing and postponing until a point where we are actually not free from the virus but at least we have a cure and a good treatment, they will be back when that happens.

Maybe it will take 2 more months, maybe it will take 6 more months, but in the end it will end one way or another. Will the leagues come back and start when they left off? I don't know but even if we start fresh from 2021 season Liverpool is still definitely the best team in premier league and maybe they won't be this good anymore but they will still get the championship if they keep the team intact.

[Captain Corporate]

 Watford still beat them, I mean that doesn't change anything but they weren't unbeatable in the record sense of the word, otherwise they were unstoppable and basically a full on freight train force towards any team they faced, even if you are feeling you are going to win that day and get ahead and all they somehow still found a way to get back and beat you, this team is just a whole another level we haven't seen before. Klopp is like that, dude basically spent as little as possible on Dortmund and we all know how further he took Dortmund as well, of course when he leveled up to Liverpool he did the same, he paid a bit for the keeper because lets face it Karius wasn't going to happen at all, but aside from that dude once again managed to spend as little as possible and took the champions league with it.

I understand the point you're trying to make. But let's be honest with ourselves here. I'm optimistic that a vaccine or cure would be out within the next couple of months or so. So the world should recover from the outbreak soon. Regardless of that, The premier league has announced that the season will continue no matter how long it takes before the pandemic ends. The end is not too far now. I believe we'll make it through this phase and come back stronger.

Maybe it will take 2 more months, maybe it will take 6 more months, but in the end it will end one way or another. Will the leagues come back and start when they left off?

I think you missed the part where the Premier League announced indefinite extension to the 2019/2020 season? Well here's an excerpt:

The FA’s Rules and Regulations state that "the season shall terminate not later than the 1 June" and "each competition shall, within the limit laid down by The FA, determine the length of its own playing season".

However, The FA’s Board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season in relation to Professional Football.

By the way, How do Y'all cope without weekend matches? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I just try to watch loads of films, go out for one walk a day & surf the internet. To be honest I am very bored but we’re stuck in this quarantine shit for at least another couple of weeks. I guess life is similar to being a prisoner atm.

For me more then prisoner as I am really frustrated as now kids doing magics and I am feeling very angry for them but have to calm for rest of this locked down as its going to be for some long time have news in coming few days its going to be more tighten.

If it was only about the absence of football, then the situation maybe wouldn't be this bad, it's no football plus no movement(total lockdown), now you can't maybe visit a friend, go for dinner or shopping during the weekends to forget about the fact that there are no live football games to watch for now.

But I spend all day with my family, which is great, learning new things and also keeping myself entertained with replays of interesting matches on youtube, cannot be compared to the fun the EPL brings but it's good compensation.

Hehe, unstoppable and unbeaten team, stopped by so small thing on this world.

Yeah, spending more time with family and learn something about them. they act like wonderful people

I do not think liverpool is cursed. I used to defend playing out this season, but after reading few blogs on dailymail and bbc football; i finally understood why there are several debates.

1. it is rumoured that, if the 2020/2021 season does not commence in August as stated then there would be losses for Barclays as a whole, and likewise sponporship losses will be massive for football clubs.

2. It is also said that if the present season 2019/2020 does not end, (anytime it does) there will be losses as well.

The most important issue raised, is that decisions across european leagues must tally, which means that if england is ending the season, other european clubs must do so, so that there will be corellation with the european champions and europa leagues.


SO much more, and i do not have full understanding of all, perhaps i can get a better summary of what is to expect.

Exactly what i thought too.
Spain or Italy can not cancel the leagues and yet England will go ahead and complete theirs or crown Liverpool. Everything has to be done in unison. If it's a cancellation, it will a cancellations of this season in all European Leagues or vise versa

You're right. Nothing beats the live action every weekend. My City (country too) is on lockdown so every day is like a never-ending holiday. Week-inn, week-out I'm at home. If I'm not watching movies, I'm surfing random stuffs on the internet or better still playing games. I think it's a good compensation. Although weekends are more boring.

There is no football anyway, our weekend will be saturated. I also know the situation of this pandemic will last long because until now it is still in the handling of the right side to continue to fight Covid-19.
Even though we are at home what is not saturated every day playing games? is there really no other activity at home besides watching football and meeting at the casino or sports?
Even though we continue to surf the internet we still have to look at the latest developments or don't be lazy to be lazy on a holiday without this weekend, even though this is causing us to still do our best at home.

This idea is proposed for June/July. By that time the virus should be dying off because of the self isolation & restrictions on people in the UK at the present time.

Hoping so for real. Seeing South Asian countries still having cases after several months making me wonder if Europe will get ride of it faster although the appearance of the infection is relatively recent..

[tokeweed]

It appears to be a good solution for a while however it may ends with a catastrophe. Putting 500 or more people (players, staff, cameramen, security...) in one place with too much close contact at least in games and training is risky. 1 asymptomatic person could spread the infection to everyone. Even if they all carried out the test and were negative, which doesn't guarantee anything, and someone from outside is positive carrying the food for example then he can contaminate them too...
Imo it is a possible solution but it requires so so many precautions!

It could be earlier (I hope).  I think in around two or three weeks we could see some improvement.  Esp. now knowing that cloroquine combined with some anti biotics have been getting promising results.
