Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[rdbase]

That was hilarious!
The guard of honor for Liverpool from Manchester City players coming out on to the pitch.
Since there were no fans they had to stand there and clap them on.

Pep G looked right off pissed!

[arallmuus]

I was thinking to start gambling and was betting some tiny tinny stake on a double slip.

Tottenham to win and Liverpool to win.

It seems I really do not need to start gambling again 🤪

Another goal from Sheffs. 3 - 0 LOL

Once again the favored team to win ended up dissapointing us. I got my excitement as well as my doubt for Tottenham as I have stated on my previous post. The odds for Sheffield to win was over 4.5 IIRC and it just seems unreal for me so I go with Tottenham to win the game  

3-1 FT...Fun fact: one team spent £120M in signings, the other one is a recently promoted team...Just saying  

Spurs, man...losing to a recently promoted fluke team like Sheffield. And now they're in 9th place and 7pts away from the top 6, a bit embarrassing, isn't it? =P

Sheffield is definitely not a fluke. Remember Leicester? When everyone never even think that they could become a champion or atleast finish in the top spot, they ended up being one even when all the odds was against them . Tottenham had the ball for most of the time but they just cant score  

I will blame first VER and 2nd the defense of Tottenham.

Err.. Its VAR not VER  

anyways, starting XI's confirmed for the big game, and City are going with Erik Garcia and Foden  and Liverpool with their best squad. Well, now i know which manager is taking this match seriously

Kevin De Bruyne is playing and he is the only outstanding player in the City at the moment. Pep can rotate all the rest around him since he has so much quality on the bench. I also liked Mahrez in the last few games and would have expected him to start maybe even before Sterling.

I'd love to see Manchester City win against Liverpool on their best squad  . Now could be the time for it

[Ulven]

Sheffield is working towards catching the ladder of the arrangement, his victory over Tottenham indicates that. I think the rest of the next rounds will be exciting, I hope to watch the Bitcoin logo in the EPL matches. Watford should provide that!

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Err.. Its VAR not VER  

I hate this guy!
It was suppose to be VAR 😜

I'd love to see Manchester City win against Liverpool on their best squad  . Now could be the time for it

City were nearly conceding the first goal LOL

[Slow death]

Manchester City 2 - 0 Liverpool FC

 

what the hell is going on with Liverpool? only 40 minutes are played and they will have conceded 2 goals and are under a lot of pressure

I hope to watch the Bitcoin logo in the EPL matches. Watford should provide that!

Watford - chelsea

I think Watford is very unlucky, because Chelsea will work hard to win this game

[casperBGD]

Manchester City 2 - 0 Liverpool FC

 

what the hell is going on with Liverpool? only 40 minutes are played and they will have conceded 2 goals and are under a lot of pressure

it is now 3:0, did not expect that, Liverpool has obviously decided to celebrate the title, and finish the season at the moment, so they do not care regarding score tonight

[tomahawk9]

It's Liverpool 😜

heh! and Man City are 3-0 up, it's been a close game so far, it's just that liverpool's defence has been so BAD, Gomez with the pen and then eating grass in the 2nd goal, but holy crap, Robertson...wth is this man doing?? did you see him in the 2nd goal? no? well what about the 3rd goal? seriously, what is he doing?  LOL hahahaha

Foden with the goal, way to shut me up lol Liverpool last away win was in mid february, yikes!!

[nelson4lov]

Manchester City 2 - 0 Liverpool FC

 

what the hell is going on with Liverpool? only 40 minutes are played and they will have conceded 2 goals and are under a lot of pressure

It's already 3-0!  3 shots === 3 goals!

Firstly, Liverpool doesn't have much to lose anymore since they've already won the premier league title. There's not much to fight for anymore. Manchester city is taking advantage of that fact and are making good use of it. Throughout the first half, Liverpool's midfield was under constant pressure and terror. Gomez isn't impressing, Roberson too. Winning this match is not a priority.

[hahay]

- snip -


My betslip for today although Im not sure about Tottenham 

Both of them lost because Manchester City was very on fire in this match or maybe Liverpool no longer chase to win because they have become champions.
Tottenham lost 3-1 and Liverpool lost 3-0 at half time it was a shocking result.

[snipie]

Weird games and epic fail with Sheffield punching Tottenham with 3 goals to 1!
And Liverpool lol! Receiving 3 goals in the first half!! 3 goals in barely 20 minutes. Had to check the players to be sure he isn't playing with substituted ones. We expected City to win not to kick Liverpool butt!

I'm not sure anyone would've expected both results to end the way they did – Tottenham getting whipped by Sheffield United and then we have man city demolishing liverpool. Liverpool's performance today was simply below par.  I knew they had nothing to lose but then going 4 goals down is displeasing. Liverpool had some nice opportunities to take some back but couldn't convert any chances. Good thing the last goal by mahrez  was disallowed. Overall, a bad performance by the champions.

[ampere]

I wouldn't say tonight is an epic one but it was full of fascinating excitements, Totenham was trounced by 3 good goals from lowly Sheffield, while Liverpool were humbled by Manchester city. I can understand that Liverpool title run is wrapped up and there is nothing left to play for, but getting rounded 4 unreplied goals is alot.

Before the lock down, there has been speculation over Liverpool's performance, is it tireness or decline ? Time will tell. Meanwhile for Jose, will Spurs buy their way out of trouble ? the connection with Mourinho seems to be very inconsistent. A very scintillating football match tonight!!!

[Coyster]

Liverpool lost to a better City team today, it's not about if they had anything to lose or "yeah they already are champions", Klopp wants to win all the remaining games and prolly break the record of hundred points held by City and you can see that with his team selection tonight.

Manchester City imo should be the team not fully motivated for this game, they have their opportunity in the Fa cup and ucl to make something out of their season, they can play the rest of their epl games knowing they have to stay injury free and fit to try and win two more trophies. Liverpool have no other tournament to challenge for, so they have to perform in the epl, and they wanted to tonight, but City were better.

Nice analysis. Indeed City has almost nothing to lose in EPL but they performed way better than Liverpool.
If Liverpool will continue playing like that then 100 pts won't be easy vs opponents like Chelsea, Arsenal, +/- Burnley and Newcastle..

[arallmuus]

Liverpool have no other tournament to challenge for, so they have to perform in the epl, and they wanted to tonight, but City were better.

The only one that wants to win this game is Klopp and not the rest of the team. He might want to win in this game to proof that they could beat City on their own .Liverpool clearly so much better before they won the league. I get that they are still in celebration mood after they win and some player might want to take some rest after they win  

Both of them lost because Manchester City was very on fire in this match or maybe Liverpool no longer chase to win because they have become champions.

I know right, I chose Tottenham because of the odds so I thought it could be easy  

Liverpool no longer chase to win because they have become champions

Klopp still does but not the players and it seems some player performed poorly

Maybe Manchester City just wants to prove that they are still able to beat Liverpool with a very large score I think this is motivated also for matches in other competitions such as the FA and UCL.
Manchester city still has a big chance in the FA, maybe they will win this season and for UCL there are still big challenges like other big teams in Europe so that the city will continue to fight for the UCL trophy this season.

I also think the same that Manchester City wants to prove capable of beating Liverpool, and that Manchester City is capable of
winning with a score of 4-0. This is evidence of strong motivation from Manchester City, even though Liverpool use the main team.
Actually I was surprised by the results of this match, even though I predicted Liverpool would win the match. So I lost a lot with
Liverpool betting. But I admit that Manchester City did play well, especially Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne playing extraordinary,
defense Liverpool is overwhelmed.

[Leo]

I'm beginning to think that this is perhaps a fixed match, I just can't believe that Liverpool won't reply to a 4 goals deficit, their defense was totally in shambles, conceding a penalty, doing an own goal and show lackadaisical attitude in marking city players, on a good day Alison would have saved the 5th goal that was disallowed, something might be fishy about this game

[leea-1334]

You know, the sportsbooks odds did show that Spurs and Sheffield were equal in odds, even though I felt after our last game and with Harry Kane back we should have been clear favorites but seems like they knew everything.

I am not even going to say anything about VAR,,, I am just glad Kane is back and scoring. Let us hope we do something great with Champions League or that we can somehow get 5th place and City out, Spurs in.

[BIT-BENDER]

Spurs has just been a team clinging on for dear life, I believe in Jose morinho, I think he just want to see out the season and then return for next season spurs is really going to kick into shape next season and I don't see them not doing well, as for seeing out the season they haven't been doing that all too well, last match against Sheffield united was a disgrace, -well not a disgrace this season check the two teams position-, for me Sheffield united has been one of the revelations of this season league,

Manchester city where not going to give Liverpool a bragging rights but what ever they did the title is lost and won. An exciting game from a neutral point though.
