Start of EPL season. My Prediction for Matchday 1
First game of the season is between Liverpool and Stock. As a Liverpool fan, i hope Liverpool will start off the season with a positive note. A big win is on the card i think. Liverpool should be able to clear the -1.5 handicap. Let see how Mark Hughes managed stoke in the upcoming season.
Liverpool 4 Stoke 0 (Prediction)
Arsenal kick off the season at home against Aston Villa. Arsenal lack of transfer activity in the summer transfer market is worrying. But they should have no problem winning at home against a average Aston Villa side. Will Benteke suffer from second season syndrome?
Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 0
Norwich kick off the season at home Everton. Norwich had made a lot of signing in the transfer market. Let see how they start the season. Roberto Martinez will manage Everton for the first time in the league. and i am not convinced that buying ex-wigan players will make Everton stronger. A season of struggle for both sides probably.
Norwich 2 Everton 1
Sunderland start the season at the Stadium of Light hosting Fulham. Sunderland had made a lot of signing in the summer transfer market and i hope Sunderland will do better this season. They did not scored enough goal last season. But i am not sure of managerial credentials of Di Canio. hopefully he will clash less with his players. Fulham had made a couple of good signing Maarteen Stekelenburg and loan signing of Darren Bent. With new owners, Fulham might surprise this season. Stekelenburg will be keep busy by Fulham leaking defence. Sunderland to start the season with a win
Sunderland 3 Fulham 1
Last season, West Brom had a great start to the season winning Liverpool 3-0 on Steve Clark first EPL game in charge. This season WBA start the season against Southampton. WBA playing at home give them an edge on this game. but never underestimate Southampton. Think a draw is on the card.
WBA 1 Southampton 1
West Ham united had a strong home record last season and they start the season at home against newly promoted Cardiff City. I think a home win is a banker. West Ham should have no problem winning comfortably tonight. I think Downing move to West Ham might give him a chance to make it in the England Squad. Downing might be one of the scorer tonight.
West Ham 4 Cardiff City 0
Defending Champion Manchester United travel to Wales for the opening game to take on Swansea City. Swansea City was the surprise team of the last season winning the League Cup and a Europa League spot this season. Manchester United had not made the big signing their fans crave but they had won their first trophy under new manager David Moyes. I do hope Swansea make a good start to the season. No defending champions had lost the opening game of the season. so i do hope Manchester United will be the first.
Swansea City 1 Manchester United 0
Newly promoted Crystal Palace will host Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season. Selhurst Park had not witness top flight football for a long time. I do not rate Palace highly and Tottenham without Bale is not the same. Might be a draw.
Crystal Palace 1 Tottenham 1
Chelsea start the season against newly promoted hull city. Jose Mourinho second spell in charge of Chelsea. How will he set Chelsea to play? Will he start Lukaku or Torres? many questions on my mind now regarding Chelsea. But no questions in predicting that Chelsea will get a home win and keep a clean sheet. Steve Bruce had alot of experience in handling EPL club. Will he come good at Hull??
Chelsea 5 Hull City 0
Last game of the opening day of the season see Manchester City playing against Newcastle United. New manager Manuel Pellegrini will hope to see his competitive reign in Manchester City start off with a win after an indifferent pre-season. Newcastle United had not been making alot of signings in the off-season. they might struggle.
Manchester City 3 Newcastle United 0
