Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 4 Review and Match Prediction

acidyo (82)in #sfpl • 7 years ago

The transfer window is closed, the national break is over and the Premier League is back. Match week will once again bring us big games. Manchester City is hosting Liverpool while Tottenham will try to get three points at Everton.

Manchester City - Liverpool

As Manchester City had a quiet final day of the transfer window, you can't say the same about Liverpool. Rumours of Coutinho leaving must have had some sort of impact on the squad. Just as they hope the new arrival of Oxlade-Chamberlain will have an impact immediately. Jurgen Klopps impact on Liverpool when playing the bigger clubs is not to be questioned.

To these numbers you can add a win against Arsenal this season. Manchester City, though, is something else. I expect a draw in this game, which both teams might be fine with.

Predicted Lineup (Manchester City): Ederson, Kompany, Stones, Otamendi, Walker, Bruyne, Fernandinho, D. Silva, Danilo, Agüero and Jesus.

Missing Players: Sterling (suspended) and Gündogan (injured)

Predicted Lineup (Liverpool): Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Robertson, Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Salah, Mané and Firmino.

Missing Players: Lallana, Bogdan, Clyne and Ings (all injured).

Note: Coutinho is a big risk to have on your team. He did play for Brazil during the break, but nobody knows if he will play for Liverpool. Many websites do not predict him to play, but I do. He is too important for Liverpool to miss for this game.

Everton - Tottenham

Tottenham is undefeated in the last nine matches against Everton, while Everton is undefeated against Tottenham in the last nine games when hosting Spurs. I could easily see this be a draw, and it's a result both teams will be satisfied with. Spurs might have the better chance, with Eriksen and Alli playing extremely well at the moment.

Predicted Lineup (Everton): Pickford, Keane, Williams, Jagielka, Holgate, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Baines, Rooney, Sigurdsson and Ramirez.

Missing Players: Mori, Barkley, Coleman, Bolasie (injured).

Predicted Lineup (Spurs): Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier Dembele, Son, Alli, Eriksen and Kane.

Missing Players: Lamela, Rose, Nkoudou, Wanyama (injured) Llorent (75 % chance of playing)

Note! Serge Aurier and Llorente is a doubt as they both arrived on the deadline day. I have predicted Aurier to start as he is a strong improvement of Trippier.

Stoke - Manchester United

Stoke has impressed me so far. Not only because I'm an Arsenal fan and they beat us, but because they are playing well, are well organised, and finally seem to have forgotten their old physical playing style. The signings of Wimmer and Jese are great, and Jese has already made his impact. As Phil Jones and Bailly are both suspended for the first Champions League game, he might start Smalling and Lindelöf to get them ready, but I doubt it. Lindelöf has looked like a championship player in his games, and I don't expect him to play. I expect Manchester United to dominate this game, but it won't be as the first three games. I see a 0-1 or 2-1 victory for Mourinho.

Predicted Lineup (Stoke): Butland, Wimmer, Shawcross, Indi, Cameron, Allen, Fletcher, Pieters, Jese, Shaqiri and Choupo-Moting.

Missing Players: Ngoy, Afellay Ireland (injured) Kurt Zouma is a doubt.

Predicted Lineup (Manchester United): Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Blind, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Mkhitaryan and Lukaku.

Missing Players: Zlatan, Rojo (long term injuries) Young, and Shaw (won't play)
