PREDICTED Final 14 Games Form Guide

Manchester City – W-W-W-W-W-W-W-D-W-W-W-D-W-W (12 wins, 2 draws)

Manchester United – W-W-D-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-D-W-W (12 wins, 2 draws)

Tottenham – W-L-D-D-W-D-W-D-W-W-D-W-W-W (8 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss)

Arsenal – D-W-D-W-D-W-D-D-W-W-W-W-W-W (9 wins, 5 draws)

Chelsea – D-W-W-W-L-D-W-W-D-W-L-W-L-W (8 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses)

Liverpool – L-W-D-D-D-W-D-W-W-W-W-W-W-D (8 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss)

Newcastle – L-W-D-L-W-D-D-D-W-L-W-D-L-L (4 wins, 5 draws, 5 losses)

These predictions were done, keeping the following in mind.

1) Manchester City welcome back the Toure brothers from the Africa Cup of Nations. More so, Yaya Toure, who has been their best player this season.

2) Arsenal welcome back a host of players from injury, notably right-back Bacary Sagna. Also returning will be left-backs Kieran Gibbs and later in the season, Andre Santos, which will strengthen the defence.

3) Chelsea have 3 tough away games, at Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

4) Liverpool, too, will welcome back their star striker, Luis Suarez, from a 8 match suspension.

5) Newcastle are thin on resources, to maintain their position in the league.

6) Tottenham have a decent enough squad, to hold on to 3rd place, and are already 7 points adrift of 4th placed Chelsea.

7) Note that this is considering the top 7 will remain the same for the rest of the season. This is because the gap between 7th placed Liverpool and 8th placed Sunderland is 6 points, which seems unassailable.

So, these are my predictions. What do you think is gonna happen? Do you agree with these? Do let me know! 🙂
