Premier League Predictions Overview
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello, hello, hello. So we have a very special episode today. um As you can see, i would be introducing other people right now, but it's just me today. You're gonna you're stuck with me.
00:01:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
So today, what's on the docket is we're going to be doing rest of the Premier League predictions slash predictions.
00:01:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
what's happening with the top four slash the top five this season. Relegation's already done. ah ah Liverpool and Arsenal are already set.
00:01:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we're going to go week by week, predict every single result, um and see where it leaves us in the table. Let's start with what I think is going to happen next ah in the run in this season.
00:01:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think the team that are out of the
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's pull up the Premier League table. So, we right now, Tottenham lost to Nottingham Forest today, which puts us at Liverpool on 79 points, probably going to wrap up the title next weekend.
00:02:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Arsenal on 66 should be out of the the chaos of the five teams below. Five teams separated by three points.
00:02:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ridiculous. It was two points yesterday, three points today as Forest won. Nottingham Forest, 60 points, 14 goal difference. Newcastle, 59 points, difference.
00:02:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
eighteen goal difference Manchester City, 58 points with a 22 goal difference. Chelsea with 18 goal difference and 57 points.
00:02:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And also in 57 points is Aston Villa with a goal difference of 6. sick So if we're looking at the table, the two teams that are missing out right now are Chelsea and Aston Villa.
00:03:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
And those are going to be my two um most likely candidates to miss out. um The next team um below that is Bournemouth on 49 points. And then Fulham, 48.
00:03:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brighton, 48. Brentford, 46. So I think those are going to make the middle of the table. um There's so many permutations of how this changes.
European Qualifications Explained
00:03:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
um because at a minimum of I believe eight teams will qualify because Newcastle United if they don't qualify via the league have already secured European football for next year by winning the League Cup they've secured Conference League for for football and if um just to get this right, the f FA c Cup winners um finish outside of the top five, so they would kind qualify for the Europa League.
00:04:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Then we have one in the league, and also Chelsea finish outside of the top five. um And win the conference league that they're currently in.
00:04:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
The Premier League will have no teams in the conference league next year. That's where we are in the situation, which is entirely possible. Yeah.
00:04:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because we have Nottingham Forest, us Aston Villa, which who I said were a favorite to miss out. um And City, who could also miss out.
00:04:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Crystal Palace, who will miss out. So we have about a half chance of the FA Cup team missing out um on the top five and gaining You roll a league through that way. um So let's just crack into it.
00:05:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I've said my prediction. Chelsea and Aston Villa. I think Chelsea is pretty much a lock because they have to play like Newcastle, Forest and Man United who, United aren't great, but there's still something there.
00:05:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe that's my heart over my head. um Heart over my head. Anywho, let's start with the big result are the big fixture of this midweek.
Match Predictions and Analysis
00:05:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man City versus Aston Villa. I think this is going to a super, super interesting game. I'd love, love to see Villa put on a performance, go to the Etihad, knock him down a peg.
00:05:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, City have like a relatively easy run-in. I think to go into that run-in with no confidence, like we've seen seen City all season, will be very interesting. I'd also love to see how City react to not being in the Champions League. Like, will they bounce back? Or will they...
00:06:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
um the allure of Man City just be suddenly way less. I'd be surprised about that. I think Pep could pull in anyone. But I'm going a very conservative 2-2.
00:06:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Arsenal-Crystal Palace. We're going to to relatively fast on the fixtures. um We'll go Crystal Palace have been doing okay, but as of late, dropping off, and they have a...
00:06:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
pretty poor run-in and i'm sure they'll rest players for the weekend so we'll go three now chelsea everton this is a must win for chelsea because out of their five games everton is arguably the easiest but they i think are like fifth or sixth in the table since david moise has come into the club so
00:07:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going bet on Chelsea just to make it interesting. We'll go one now Brighton and West Ham. I'm just going to say 1-1 because we're focused on the top five race.
00:07:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle, Ipswich. Ipswich will get relegated if they lose here. I mean, they're going to get relegated anyways. But ah we'll go with a very hefty 4-0.
00:07:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Southampton, Fulham. Let's go Fulham. Wolves, Leicester.
00:07:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just put Mateus Cunha in my FPL, so let's hope he does well. Let's do 2-0. Bournemouth and Man United. ah Man United fan, I want to believe we'll win.
00:07:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But as a pragmatist, I think we'll be focused on the Thursday game against Bobel. We'll rest players. We'll give some players some momentum, I'm sure.
00:08:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bruno will get his minutes in. But... ah I'm go to go one one and I think that's being optimistic. Liverpool will wrap up the title against Tottenham.
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tottenham, no Heung-min Son, who hasn't even been firing really this season. That is going to be ah procession. Forrest Brentford. Brentford were pretty dismal away from home at the start of the season, but I think they've picked up the form as of late.
00:08:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And I'd be very surprised if it was an easy game for Forest. I think this is a... um
00:08:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Even though Forest are very good defensively, Emblema and Vissa are a terrifyingly good ah front two for Brentford.
00:08:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's see. and Just to spice it up, I'm going to go one one Alright, let's calculate.
00:09:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, city dropout because... um They drew against Villa. So the it goes Villa on 58 in 7th. City on 59 in Chelsea on 60 in 5th.
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Forest on 61 in um and fourth Newcastle on 62 in 3rd. So each at one point above the next. That would be delicious to see you next weekend.
00:09:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's play the first ad and we'll do two to three fixtures before the next ad break.
00:10:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Alright, next fixtures. um Starting with City vs. Wolves. um Oh, that'll be an interesting game.
00:10:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Just to keep them in the race, let's go let's say that Wolves end their winning run at City. Let's go to one to City.
00:10:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Villa versus Fulham. I think this is a really easy banana skin for Villa um because Fulham can beat anyone on their day. Let's go...
00:11:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
let's go
00:11:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
2-0 nil to Villa. Everton-Ipswich. Quick 2-0 to Everton.
00:11:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
One of the last games of Goodison. It'll be very charged up. Leicester versus Southampton. ah pretty nothing game. I'd be interested because Leicester haven't scored a home goal since December. So this is like the chance um to give their fans a...
00:11:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
a little hurrah, and Southampton are on, according to my predictions, would be on 11 points. So, you can see this going either way.
00:11:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to give this
00:11:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
to
00:11:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's give Leicester a goal. And let's give Southampton two. And get a, like, scalp them off the bottom so they don't match the Derby record.
00:12:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
West Tottenham. Let's go to one West Ham. Tottenham look a little more toothless than West Ham do. um like the ah The biggest caveat I'd say about West Ham is I'm so surprised that Evan Ferguson hasn't lit it up for West Ham.
00:12:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was so sure that he would be that signing for them. He was touted as a 100 million man few years ago for Brighton. So it's sad to see that he's not holding up to it.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Arsenal, Bournemouth. um Arsenal, too solid defensively, three nil Brentford, Man United. um Oh, God.
00:12:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Another dismal away day for United. Let's go... not 4-0 like a few years ago. Please, God, no.
00:13:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go 2-0 Brantford because we'll be tired of the Europa League. Brian and Ho Valbien hosting Newcastle. Another banana skin.
00:13:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brighton went to Newcastle in the FA Cup and won two one after extra time. think there'll be a little more fire in Newcastle's belly. Let's go Chelsea-Liverpool.
00:13:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
two chelsea liverpool you know I could see Chelsea doing something in this game. I'm going to give them at least a point. Liverpool will have just come off the title.
00:13:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Trent is coming back though, so that helps them a lot. A lot more quality offensively, but Mohamed Salah has gone missing and since ah slightly before the PSG games, which is so frustrating because he was on for, i mean, he's still a great season, the arguably the best Premier League of season of all time, but he could have hit some insane numbers if he kept it up.
00:14:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chelsea, Liverpool, let's go... Let's spice it up. 2-1 Chelsea. um Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest. hi
00:14:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go Forest. Because... doing really good. That leaves us with three game weeks to go. Forrest on 64 in third.
00:14:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle on 63 fourth. Chelsea on 63, which caveat, that means beating Liverpool. Um...
00:14:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sixth place, Manchester City 62. Seventh place, Villa on 61. Okay. Next week starts with early kickoff is Newcastle versus Chelsea. oh That is ah game to watch.
00:15:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Along with Chelsea for us. ah Newcastle, Chelsea. Chelsea are going to have ah hard time to get out of this. think that's the reason... think...
00:15:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I want Chelsea to beat Liverpool more for the top four race than anything. um Even as a United fan, i just um I love things going down to the final day of the season. I think it's so, so entertaining.
00:15:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle-Chelsea. um
00:15:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Gordon's coming back. or Will that disrupt the team more? They had an off game against Villa, but they're going have a little more rest going into this game.
00:15:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's... Newcastle has been not happy hunting for Chelsea in recent years. I'm going to say the trend continues. Let's go three one Fulham, Everton.
00:16:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's... Let's give it Everton an away win. I think they have so much... They're so solid defensively. That being said...
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I have forgotten to mention that James Tarkovsky is out and that might cost them going into this run-in. So I'm actually going to change that to No,
00:16:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
to Fulham. 2-1 Fulham. Final answer. Lock it in. All right.
Upcoming Matches and Final Day Scenarios
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ipswich, Brentford. Brentford. West Ham, Man United at Old Trafford, which...
00:16:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Except for the Leon game has felt like an away ground. ah um Head over heart. No, sorry. Heart over head this time. two now United. Southampton, Man City. Let's go 3-0. It's been pretty common scoreline at the St. Mary's this season.
00:17:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tottenham, Crystal Palace. Let's go 2-0. to nell
00:17:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm giving Crystal Palace a bit of a rough time of it. Wolves, Brighton. I just love the way that Vitor Pereira coaches his team and how solid they were. I actually watched the United Wolves game um waking up at 6 a.m. m in California time.
00:17:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And they look really good. um Bit toothless up front, but I think that's Mateus Cunha's first start in like four or five weeks since that red card in the f FA Cup.
00:17:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think they'll find more form. I say find more form like they haven't won five straight games in a row and now have Leicester this week. But I think they might be ah tough test for Brighton.
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
That being said, I'm going to go with the Brighton away win. to Brighton. Bournemouth, Villa. oh Villa need to win that game.
00:18:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go 1-1. Oh, typed in 11. Nottingham Forest, Leicester. 3-0. Liverpool, Arsenal.
00:18:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just because the Arsenal fans were so happy last week, I'm going to predict a drubbing. I know I'm being inconsistent, but it's my predictions. What are you going to do? Change it? All right, let's see. This leads us into the penultimate week.
00:18:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Forrest on sixty seven Newcastle on 66. City on 65. Chelsea 63. Villa on 62.
00:19:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Villa do have some hard games. But they have an easy game this week. Spurs. Let's go 2-0 Villa. United. know, I like villa chelsea united you know i like I think this is the week after, let me check,
00:19:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:19:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
of United's Bilbao second leg. Let's see. But we won't be traveling for that one, so the exhaustion will only be if we go to extra time It is not.
00:19:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah we get ah We get a week break after West Ham game.
00:19:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK, so with that being said, I'm still going to give it to Chelsea. 2-0. Let's go 2-1 Chelsea.
00:20:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Everton, Southampton. tuel Everton. West Ham Forest. Let's go 3-1 Forest. Brentford Fulham. Let's go high scoring three three I don't know.
00:20:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brentford has been a happy hunting ground for goals. Crystal Palace Wolves. Let's go...
00:20:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe a Wolves-Naked 1-0 win? i think I'm being harsh to Crystal Palace, but don't think I've even given them a single point. But... Hey, it's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Okay. Okay.
00:20:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Leicester, Ipswich. Ooh, Leicester have two... Leicester have Southampton and Ipswich coming to them at the end of the season. That's so unfortunate. like That is perfect home games for like middle of the season to break up.
00:20:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ouch. um They're all just testing to go down. Let's i' just give Epswich a 2-0 win. I think Leicester feel a little more toothless at the moment if Dilap gets back from injury.
00:21:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's a class striker.
00:21:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:21:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Arsenal-Newcastle at the Emirates.
00:21:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Newcastle have already gone there and won this season in a game that very much mattered to their season and their legacy of ending that 70-year trophy doubt drought.
00:21:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sorry. Let's go... Let's give Newcastle a point... Away from home. 2-2.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man City, Bournemouth. I'd be very surprised if City don't win this. They're going to have a lot of rest outside of the f FA Cup. 3-0. That's a little excessive, but City usually gets stronger at the end of the seasons.
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brighton and Liverpool. Let's just go 1-1. Liverpool have nothing to play for anymore. so Going into the final weekend of the Premier League, it stands.
00:22:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Forest on 70 points. City on 68. Newcastle on 67. Chelsea on 66. Villa on 65. So, that means... chelsea on sixty six villa on sixty five so that means Nottingham Forest are safe.
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nottingham Forest will qualify. And given their run-in, they should qualify. if They have the easiest run-in. And they're a point ahead of the pack at this current moment after being Spurs today.
00:22:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, the real question is, on the final day, can City beat Fulham? Can Chelsea beat Forest? Oh my god.
00:23:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ouch. um Can but whereas can Villa go to United and pick up three points?
00:23:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
And can Newcastle win at home to Everton? We're going to take our second ad break, and we're going to answer those questions at the end of the ad break.
00:23:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so let's start off with the games that don't matter because there is no chronological order because they all take place on the same time at the last day of the season.
00:24:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Side note, this is my Christmas to me. I love this day having like my two screens open, my phone, and like ah my girlfriend's laptop, you know like as many screens as I can get on that day.
00:24:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
each one will have a game on and it's beautiful. Anyways, Bournemouth Leicester To Bournemouth, obviously. Ipswich West Ham, let's give Ipswich a final day victory. tono Ipswich.
00:24:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Liverpool Crystal Palace, let's just go 2-0. I'm sure there's a lot of 2-0s here, but I like predicting that more than a 1-0. um
00:24:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Southampton, Arsenal, 3-0 Arsenal. Oh, that said 30 now. um Tottenham, Brighton. um Let's assume that Tottenham beat Bodo Glimt.
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
That means they would be prepping. Let me check the date of the Europa League final.
00:25:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
two two do Knockout. May 21st. Oh, i think that might be before. Oh, so this will be coming off the League final. Oh, thought it might be midweek.
00:25:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Well, tired legs.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go...
00:25:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brighton get a 2-0 away win because they just wanted more. Wolves, Brentford, let's go our for final four games between our five if Champions League hopefuls.
00:26:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fulham, Man City,
00:26:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think I want to spice this one up and give
00:26:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
let's let's let's Let's say Fulham beat City. and I don't think they will, but given how City's season has gone, not off the cards.
00:26:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle, Everton. So let's go I've done enough of those. Newcastle. um
00:26:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man United and Aston Villa. I think the big question about this fixture is, will United make it to the Europa League final? I think head over heart, no.
00:26:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So we should be fresh for the game. um And the other question would be, are Villa um in form and playing in the FA Cup final the weekend after?
00:26:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Either way, Villa will rotate their squad better than United. and ah Marcus Rashford coming to United to secure Champions League football for Aston Villa.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go with the throwbacks to Gabby Adblonglor. 1-0 Aston Villa win at Old Trafford on the final day of the season just epitomizes how rubbish United's season has been.
00:27:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Then the big fish to fry. Nottingham Forest, home to Chelsea. Let's go low scoring because Forest are going to be cagey.
00:27:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chelsea are going be expansive and open-ish, but the way Nicholas Jackson has been leading the front line has been... I hate to say it because I tried to back him early in the season.
00:27:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
A little abysmal. I think his decision-making has just been so poor. i think he does have a good finish on him when he gets a chance. But I just think the way he fashions those chances is so sporadic and random that when he leads the front line of the Chelsea, he...
00:28:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um often fluffs an attack at that stage before it becomes a big chance. like He could have so many big chances created stat, but I think that's going to cost him.
00:28:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think I'm going go 1-0 Forest. They've had a lot of 1-0 wins.
00:28:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
So write down your predictions. Where do you think this leaves us? On, 73 points, clear of the pack, Nottingham Forest, are in third.
00:28:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle are in fourth on 70 points, and City lost earlier, Villa won. Drum roll, please.
00:29:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
City still go through on goal difference on even though they're both on 68 points. Chelsea end on 66. This would mean unless something crazy happens in the FA Cup.
00:29:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um...
00:29:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
as in um Palace win at this point. Villa would qualify for the Europa League. Chelsea, assuming they win the Conference League, would qualify for the Europa League.
00:29:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
And... Excuse me. Fulham would snake into the Conference League. I think the other lingering question is do 15th and 16th plays, ah respectively, United and Spurs, will one of them win the Europa League? I think Spurs have a much better chance.
00:30:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I would actually say... Whoever wins out of Bilbao and United has the best chance of winning.
00:30:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously, if you've watched any Bilbao games this season, which I did a few at the start of the season, ah they're kind of terrifying, especially the fact that they um only have players from the Basque region, from San Sebastian in Spain.
00:30:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
insane that they play such fluid and progressive football and yeah it's going be a tough watch ah but If United and Spurs do win the Europa League, that means we'll have six, I repeat, six teams in the Champions League.
00:31:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then we'll have two in the Europa League, assuming that Crystal Palace don't win the FA Cup. If they do, then we'll have three in the Europa League and none in the conference.
00:31:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
And if they don't, Fulham, according to this table... will secure Conference League football, that which would be massive for them.
00:31:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I think that's the next um race that we should be focusing on outside of the Champions League is Fulham, Brighton, Brentford, and Bournemouth.
00:31:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
One or two, potentially, if things go crazy, will get Conference League. i I realize the table says Fulham, according to my calculations, but I did give them the final day win against City. Head over Hart, let's see... yeah
00:32:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
So let's compare. So Brentford have Forest. Fulham.
00:32:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who did Brighton have this weekend? but West Ham. I think
00:32:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
that's going to be a tough one because each of them has like a big game. Brighton have a Liverpool. Fulham have City. um Who do Brentford have?
00:32:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man United. ah Big game. um
00:32:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
They also... Brentford and Fulham play each other and the penultimate week. get That is this going to be the fixture which will really, really matter at the end of the season. and I think I'm going to back...
00:33:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
My bag, Brighton. My table says Fulham, so maybe I maybe get partial credit for both. um But really like I think Brighton could snake it.
00:33:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Brighton, there's a good chance that they pick up some form. um That Wolves game is going to be massive for them. That Newcastle game is going to be massive for them.
00:33:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But Brighton... in a different season, I could see them being in that top seven or eight.
00:33:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, maybe they snake into that eighth position this season, but they're a lot better than their table would tell you. And, I think most fans that have watched their team for a full 90 minutes play Brighton have not had an easy game.
00:33:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, there's not many easy games in the Premier League, but Brighton certainly aren't in that category.
