Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[MCobian]

Full time Liverpool 5 vs 3 Chelsea. An eight goal thriller! The match was so entertaining from my perspective. I still don't understand why Lampard decided to start Pulisic from the Bench. The final result could have been a little different if he had started the march right from the beginning.

An unexpected end with too many goals!
Funny part with Chelsea is in 6 of the last 7 games they either scored 3 goals or received 3 goals, dat sponsor!
BTW I told ya boys before that ManU gonna be the 3rd and that Leicester will be kicked from CL spots. 1 other round to see if this will be the case at the end!

I was also quite surprised to be able to create 8 goals in the Liverpool vs Chelsea match, it was very apparent that both teams played openly.
But I was quite disappointed my prediction was wrong, and I had to lose money by betting on the results of the draw. For Champion League
spots are still wide open for Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester. The last match will be the decider.

Few possibilities I could think of

• Manchester United and Leicester gets a draw on their next game then Chelsea lose, it means both Manchester United and Leicester will be playing on the Champions League
• Manchester United beat Leicester then both Chelsea and Manchester United will get the champions league slot
• Manchester United lose to Leicester and Chelsea get atleast 1 point from their game then both Leicester and Chelsea will be having that slot
• Manchester United lose to Leicester but Chelsea lose their game as well therefore both manchester United and leicester will get the top 4 spot

It is going to be great last round in EPL.
Chelsea will play with Wolves that is fighting for spot in Europa League. Tottenham is their rival for that place and they have away match with Crystal Palace.
Leicester can make history in few days, if they break bad record with ManUTD. Total 27 h2h matches and they won only two times.

Another question is, what was his reason to start Kepa ahead of Caballero, I mean look at the embarrassing performances Kepa gave. Assuming we had a keeper in the goalpost, some of those goals would had been saved. Kepa should just get the heads-up that his time is up in the blue shirt.

Kepa is the first choice stopper for Chelsea so I don't see why Lampard would put caballero in the starting line up instead of Kepa. Kepa's recent performances has been nothing to write home about. He used to be a solid stopper but he's now like De Gea. On 3 occasions where Liverpool scored, he did very little to stop them. No club would pay the high fee Chelsea paid for him so Lampard's best bet would be to keep him on the bench until he gets back to forn.

I offed my TV after the third goal in the first half knowing fully well that we (Chelsea) have lost this one but I was surprised and impress to see the boys trying to perform a comeback that wasn't successful though but they gave their best against the best team in England and Europe.

Pulisic changed the momentum of Chelsea's game immediately he got in. For Abraham's goal, he got passed 3 of Liverpool players before giving his assets, pure quality from him.

What they can do? Kepa is a 80m priced keeper and also their first choice. That's why Lampard can't bench him. But it's high time Chelsea should go for Oblak from ATM as his price set on 120m. Also they can swap with Kepa+(20-30)m  for Oblak. I think ATM will interested in this deal as Kepa is also a Spanish player. And also I think Kepa will he successfull at Spanish team, I believe in his caliber.

Looks like WBA will get direct promotion to Premier league!!!!

Brentford is losing against Barsnley and WBA has 2:2 against QPR at the moment! Brentford has buckled under pressure it seems and I think WBA will be clutch in the last minutes of the match and manage to win this evening.

Seems like Bilic will finally have some luck after all!  

Too early to celebrate imho, Brentford just scored and it's 1-1. If they score one more and WBA vs QPR stays the same, they go directly are and sending  WBA into playoff. Judging by their current form, they would have hard time winning that and getting into Premiership. They really got themselves into nerve wrecking situation, they had 2-1 and complete control of the game, and instead leading 3-1 they managed to complicate it once again..

It is locked now, WBA is in Brentford is losing 1-2 again Pressure was too much as I said, they had a monster run up until last few rounds.

Time to celebrate WBA's promotion in Premier league, matches are done as I'm writing this post!!

What a drama in the end.
Brentford and the WBA ended up looking like 2 tired boxers and we were just waiting to see who would stay at their feet.
Congrats to WBA,  Bilic and his team.
Great result for them.

It was really crazy in the Championship last night. Neither WBA or Brentford managed to win their crucial games, but the story of the day must be Barnsley.

They avoided relegation with the goal in the 90th minute and they were playing away to a team needing a result for a direct promotion. I am sure Charlton did not expect this, they are the ones that are going down instead.

I'm happy to see both Bielsa and Bilić in the Prem next season, the first one is a great character and an interesting coach and Bilić deserved it with a good season.

Oh my gosh its so tight

I said Chelsea would let me down, lots of goals though.

Whats left?

Liverpool-chelsea match. Proving that prestige is very important, even though Livepool has been named champion. But they still play as usual. Because in my opinion the match was a big match, defeat was the prestige of the match. Therefore I am very happy with the match.

Just left one match to know will The Blues have chance to participated on Champion league or keep playing with Europe League next season, we are waiting what happen with head coach Frank Lampard if failed give good position for chelsea keep become Cheasea coach or out from Chealse, I think this season looks very bad for Chelsea because they failed become competitor for Liverpool have been the champion of primer league on this years.

Chelsea odds to grab a place for CL are pretty good with Leicester playing vs ManU.
Chelsea winning vs Wolves regardless of the other game result = CL
Leicester defeat regardless of Chelsea result = CL
A draw for Chelsea + Leicester defeat/draw = CL
Goal difference isn't in favor of Chelsea, a defeat vs Wolves + Leicester draw means Leicester will be 4th.

I'm tipping Chelsea to get that point that secures top 4, they are playing Wolves at home. Wolves really do have a great season and need a result to confirm Europa league spot, but Chelsea is a favorite here.

Leicester-United will be a great one to watch and no matter the current form, they are not without chances here.

My prediction is Chelsea and United in top 4, Tottenham instead of Wolves in Europa league.

[DeathAngel]

Chelsea will get into the top 4 & qualify for the CL. The really exciting match though is Leicester vs Man Utd, that’ll definitely be the game on my TV this weekend, can Leicester do it?

Last round with still alot of uncertainty and it will be a great round for players to go all out for the one last time. Two slots for the champions league between Manchester United, Leicester and Chelsea. One slot for the Europa League between Tottenham and Wolves then we have the game to avoid the relegation for Bournemouth, Watford and Aston Villa

How about we go for the 1st and the 4th possibilites so both Manchester United and Leicester will take that two slots for the champions league? also FYI, your man Vardy hasnt scored in the last two games

Hard to say. My money is on Man Utd, they're favorites to win that game. Their team is in dire need to play in the champions league. Although Leicester would be playing at home, I don't see how that would stop Man Utd. An interesting fact to note, in the last 5 meeting between both sides, Leicester city lost 4 and managed a draw in 1. I don't see how this game would be different.

[masulum]

Maybe we'll say "we will see you again" for Watford. What I predicted was not bournemouth who took the position of Watford but Aston Villa who surprisingly could beat Arsenal. When Watford lost vs West Ham, I felt Watford was threatened, and sure enough this really happened. Watford was thirsty to face Arsenal in the last week of the EPL. this is very disadvantaged. Because Astonvilla has the chance to win against Bournemouth to maintain their position in the standings.

Wolves are not pushover they plays a good possessive football although Chelsea playing in Stanford Bridge is an added advantage however without their vociferous supporters Wolves will also want to prove a point as in their Europa qualification will be at stake if they play badly while Man Utd vs Leicester is the match of the day both wouldn't want to lose out their UCL qualification Its going to be finals of the finals EPL 2020.

Aston Villa is going to face West Ham not Bournemouth in last match and they can beat them as they are playing in last few matches in other match Watford going to face Arsenal its difficult for them as Arsenal is not doing good in last few matches but they will be ok at home and Bournemouth against Everton is also not easy match for them.

[Globb0]

Tottenham instead of Wolves in Europa league.

Based on last five results,

Tottenham is now first (best performing)

City is second

MU is in third.

[hilariousetc]

Chelsea will get into the top 4 & qualify for the CL.

Well, not if they lose. I don't think they will but don't discount Wolves. If they lose then they'll likely lose their Europa league play off spot as well. If they win they could get the automatic spot depending if Leicester lose.

The really exciting match though is Leicester vs Man Utd, that’ll definitely be the game on my TV this weekend, can Leicester do it? 

Yeah. I was gonna watch Watford/Arsenal match to see if Watford can grab something from that in order to stay up, but I'll probably watch Man U and Leicester battle it out for the Champions League instead. Could probably split screen the action though.

This would be an interesting game to watch but the point to note is that, Manchester United has good records against Leicester City, Honestly, Home is good at playing with underdog team but finds it difficult to get three points from top 3 EPL teams, deeply surprised when the low Tottenham Hotspur trashed Leicester heavily, I expect a draw match here Buddy.
