Premier League Prediction Thread - Chat & Discussion

I've gone for a draw between Forest and Fulham. I think there might be some nerves in Forest's players, especially with some of their returning players, and this might give Fulham early opportunity to score and get ahead. Forest are generally tough to knock out at home though so I can see them fighting back as the game goes longer.

Think it might be a round split between home wins and draws. Lots of what look like home certainties, on paper at least. For example I'm backing West Ham and Brentford to win at home. Spurs have been shaky away and Brentford will be desperate to win after failing to beat United despite dominating the game.

I can't see any away wins so another two draw bankers in my view seem to be Burnley v Wolves and Chelsea v United. The relegation fight will play a major part in results for the remainder of the season in my view. A quick look ahead down the fixtures to come reveals a fair few of those so called "six pointers" between rivals at the bottom.

But of course all this conjecture may prove incorrect considering the mad scores we've seen already this season.

It's a great week for players who predicted draws this week 2.0

This week's fixtures are really tough i think , the amount of draws there has been lately it is really putting me off on the form guide.

On my 1st edit for this weeks fixtures I have 7 away wins, I expect that I could convert some of those back to draws.

Equaled my top score. A tinge of redemption for the bad week I had last time. Regained 2nd place, but still so far behind dionne, he could afford to have a bad week and still remain miles ahead of everyone else with so few weeks remaining.

My season performance has been predictably rubbish. So crap in fact that even a long overdue successful joker is of pretty scant consolation. Bottom line: I'm shit at football predictions but hey ho. I have more important things to worry about at the moment anyway.

Well done, that's a few times you've been top scorer now.

And in my opinion, no-one's miles away. The places at the top are close, even the gap between top and mid-table is not astronomical. The bar is set quite high this year, but considering the mad scores that have been chalked up, I think everyone is enjoying a good degree of success.

After loitering in mid-table for most of the season, I had a decent 6 weeks which elevated me into 7th place. From that point I was ahead of my previous seasons points tally & I was targeting a top 6 finish.
What's transpired has been one good week out of 5, & I'm 8 points worse off than last season at this point. On this form I'll be hard pushed to come close to my last seasons points total, realistically I'll more than likely slip down a few places rather than move up. The overall competition is of a very high standard this season & I expect the table to chance from now until the final week.

Hi everyone, I'll post the results, table and next fixture list tomorrow afternoon. It's a little late at night now to try to process the latest round of crazy scores.

edit: updated results and table now up in main thread.

Really looking forward to the Wolves v Arsenal Goal-fest later tonight.
