EPL Match Fixtures and Predictions for 18-Oct-2014

The EPL fixtures are back again after a short break due to the International duties by the players. It was the Euro 2016 qualifiers last weekend and we definitely saw a few shocking results. Well let's get back to the EPL and stay focused for this weekend.


The early kick off by Man City vs Tottenham will be a fantastic match to kick start the weekend. Man City has secured more victories against the Spurs for the last few years and they would certainly hope that this winning streak continues. The International break sometimes might help the team but at times take away the momentum so it's pretty hard to predict right now. I would say with the home support and strength of the Man City team, they should be able to win this one with a slim victory. 

My prediction, I'll go for Man City to win this at home with the scoreline of 2-1.


The next EPL match to kick off would be at 10PM where Arsenal will play hosts to Hull City. Arsenal's last game was pretty disappointing against Chelsea where they lost 2-0 but Hull City who played at home secured a comfortable 2-0 home victory. Previous meeting between these clubs favour Arsenal much more as they have won 5 out of the 6 meetings in EPL. Arsenal has some injuries but their players from the bench should be able to come in and fill the gaps. One huge problem for Arsenal is their inability to be creative in scoring goals. They seem to rely on the same old tactics to score and its proven costly at times as their opponents defend deeply.

My prediction for this match would be Arsenal securing the victory by 2-0 in a hard fought match.


The high flying Chelsea will travel to Selhurst Park to continue their fantastic start to the EPL. Jose Mourinho would want to secure the 3 points for this match and ensure that Chelsea remains at the top. No major injuries for the Blues which means the top eleven from Chelsea will start. I don't think Crystal Palace will have the depth to stop the Blues. 

My prediction for this match would be Chelsea winning comfortably by 2-0.


That's my Saturday's prediction for tonight's EPL games. May the best team win and hopefully there will be lots of goals for us to enjoy!
