Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

How will it continue, without spectators?

There are ongoing talks in regards to allowing "only home fans" attending matches with 20-30% of the stadium's capacity starting October 3 ^[source]...
^{- Looks like home advantage will get a significant boost this season.}

Why not have 10% home and 10% away or something?

Seems fairer. I guess its the traveling they don't like.

Don't they know all Man United fans live in China.  lol

It’s the Community Shield next weekend, Liverpool vs Arsenal. I’m looking forward to seeing how well prepared we are before we begin our title defence

I was at Wembley last season with my Dad for LFC vs Man City in the Community Shield. We lost on penalties. Shame I can’t go next weekend, really sad I can’t go for the foreseeable future. Covid can kiss my ass!

Seems about right, Man City are an ageing team though, I think they need more to take the title off Liverpool. David Silva is gone, they still haven’t replaced Kompany with a proper leader. Aguero is getting old as is Fernandinho. De Bruybe is the best player in the league though, will be a battle between the top 2.

This is very interesting because I feel Chelsea is better then Manchester United or atleast they give both teams equal chance.

The EPL is coming back in a few week and its amazing that it wont take long and all this is just because of the Covid-19 lull. I have seen that the French League  (League 1) is back and cant wait for the EPL to return. I am still loyal to Manchester City as my favorite team, and I hope they and Guardiola manage to secure the title for the umpteenth time for Manchester City.

They will become the next ac milan, barcelona, and manchester united in the future.
I mean, it is not about the trophy that they will get.  #NoOffense
But, the struggle with their transition from a golden era.

[swogerino]

I agree that Manchester City is getting old but I would not rule them out of the fight for the title.I think it depends how each team starts the Championship and how much motivated they are to keep going and fighting for the title.Errors are not permitted in the beginning games otherwise it will be impossible to catch Liverpool.

When the competition has been running for 5 matches and so on, I think it will be seen what club that make improvements and changes in their team, but earlier they play well and continue to earn points will make their team more likely to win trophies.

The most interesting thing in the next EPL would be the way that Liverpool is going to perform.
Now they are the title holders and they have to play good in order to continue being the No1 in England.
Would they be able to do a back to back?

[SFR10]

@SFR10 if those news are right, earliest for fans in stadiums is October so the season could even 5/6 games in before a home game becomes a real home game! Unfair advantage for the teams who'll have those fans? 30% is a third of the stadium and ONLY home? Seems unfair for teams who won't have home games in that period!

You have a valid point but it's the only way to stop away fans from traveling.

Why not have 10% home and 10% away or something?

Seems fairer. I guess its the traveling they don't like.

That's my assumption as well.

Don't they know all Man United fans live in China.  lol

That's a good one
^{- In addition to that, I think Man City will be the only unaffected team by this change [they've been practically playing with little to no fans in their stadium for the past season or so]}

It’s the Community Shield next weekend, Liverpool vs Arsenal. I’m looking forward to seeing how well prepared we are before we begin our title defence

As an Arsenal fan, I'm expecting a win for Liverpool ^{[there are a lot of uncertainties surrounding almost half of our squad in regards to their future in the club and that'll surely affect our performance]}.

Would they be able to do a back to back?

I hope so...
^{- I prefer seeing them lift the trophy instead of Chelsea or Man City.}

[Globb0]

Right then Ill bite

I just saw even better 14/1 for Chelsea.



Bam worth a fiver that would be a nice little surprise


Thanks for the heads up on that.

*edit*backing this as a fan not a tip. Im an idiot for Chelea    *edit*

[buwaytress]

Best odds I can find for EPL 20/21 Outright Winner (top runners) are on Fairlay (and they usually always are the best here at this time of the season). Just over 15/1 for Chelski right now but Liverpool at 13/5 is NOT BAD AT ALL.

Happy to see Liverpool not the favourites as usual, and happy to see Citeh so highly favoured because that means great odds for any underdog against them again, been making me good money for 2 seasons =D

[cryptofrka]

I'm also ok with City being the favorites on paper. Liverpool lacks some depth and the bookies know it, City has way more rotation options and starting 11 quality is similar.

Liverpool need 2-3 new players to keep growing, one of them has to be a centre back and another one a player that can push Mane, Salah and Firmino for the starting spot. With these 2 players, I think Liverpool would be on equal odds as City.

[slaman29]

I have to agree 15/1 or 14/1 for Chelsea sounds like really good odds, nice find guys. They have a strong team who are now already experienced in cup finals, they will get even stronger and no longer have the transfer ban to worry about so might get even more stronger players. 14/1 is very good value for a team that definitely knows how to win in the past!

[leea-1334]

Anybody here daring enough to bet on Spurs? I might just put down 2 or 3 dollars on 50/1,,, we have office pool and some guy is willing to go 5% more than the highest odds from official bookies so there is where I go. Hey, you never discount Mourinho who knows what happens this season anything goes!

It is difficult to have a team capable of consistently playing to secure title every season, especially football which has a high intensity game like the EPL now. Liverpool were the winner last season and will definitely have to try to defend the title next season which starts next month.

I still believe Manchester City are tough contender for them and Liverpool cant relax if they dont want their status as defending champions to be removed by another team.

[Trofo]

Last year when I made a new thread for Spanish league I got some requests to do the one for Premier League as well. The time has come and I decided to make one before the new season starts. The OP has not been active for 3+ years and Premier League deserves and active thread with poll and maybe some other features thrown in the mix as well.

Please move all future conversations to the new thread and let this one go to deserved retirement. It has served us well with 1800+ pages.

Skybet also have Leeds to win at 150/1 whilst teams like West Brom, Fulham, Burnley and Palace are all between 1000-1500/1. I'm really not sure how they figure out Leeds are seventh favourite to win the league. In my opinion they'll be very lucky to stay up and should be one of the favourites to go down as much as I don't want that to happen. It's funny how you used to be able to get 5000/1 on the relegation favourites to win the league but after Leicester's miraculous Premier League win that changed everything. Very tough month for Leeds as well. Liverpool and City and Sheffield United away. The only team they should get some points from is Fulham at home who they beat 3-0 last year but lost 2-1 on the reverse fixture.
