For this Premier League special we teamed up with the experts of FootballPredictions
So far gone now with several matches have been played and Liverpool is currently topping the table, which is starting to raise some eyebrows hence debate on what club will emerge victor in the 2018/19 Premier League campaign.
According to a reports from Talk Sports, a Super Computer had predicted who could win the Premier League this season.
The super computer premier league predictions gowith Manchester City becoming the Champions for the second successive season with Liverpool tagging along and Manchester United & Chelsea taking the third and fourth spot.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar jr also laid down his prediction for the Premier League leaving out Liverpool in the top four spot.
“Who will in it? Woah, that’s difficult,” he said.
“It’s very hard, it’s very difficult, but Manchester City will win it.
“Second will be United, third is Chelsea. Fourth is Tottenham.”
With all these predictions we will like to add ours too.
Liverpool:
Last year we saw what the Jurgen Klopp team is capable of flourishing and fighting their way to reach the Champions League final.
With that being that, the Reds got the best out of the summer transfer window as they brought in Naby Keita(from RB Leipzig), Fabinho(from AS Monaco) and Xherdan Shaqiri(from Stoke City).
The ability to reach the Champions League final also means that they are capable of winning the League if they put their mind and heart to it.
Liverpool could see themselves win the English top Flight this season as they were the only weakness the defending champions have.
Manchester City:
Second on the list is the defending Champions Manchester City. Two seasons ago Pep Guardiola was being thought how to play in the Premier League.
His second season with the Citizens proved he learnt his lesson as he lifted the English league and EFL Cup at the end of the season.
The Citizens are in contend for the Premier League but might just not be winning the league this season as Guardiola will be having his eyes set on the Champions League this campaign so will have to settle for the second position.
On the third and fourth place will be Manchester United and Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho team is full of talents but are seeming to lack something else in motion to push them forward to go further in the league.
While the Blues teams which is also full of talents but will be taking sometime for the squad to finally adapt to Maurizio Sarri’s style of football.
The Premier League is a competitive league as it is almost unpredictable as to who could finish at the top.
The National Division One and Division Two Volleyball Leagues organised by the Volleyball Federation of Nigeria and sponsored by Alex Otti has kicked off in Umuahia, Abia State.
The Championship features 34 teams from across the country, with about 22 States already participating in activities lined up for the ten-day event.
Addressing journalists at the Umuahia Stadium, the Referee Coach for the tournament and Vice Chairman Nigerian Volleyball Referees Association, Mohamed Mohamed, assured of fair officiating in the competition and advised the athletes to be more disciplined in the field of play, saying that volleyball is known to be a disciplined sport.
He also commended Governor Alex Otti for sponsoring the tournament for the second time.
“Last year, we were here, and we so appreciate the Abia State Government for sponsoring such a competition. The same thing happened this year too, we are here again.
The Coordinator, Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola, has stated that the All Women 10km Race aims to connect through their communities, while creating empowerment opportunities.
The 10th edition with the theme: “One Run, a thousand Opportunities,” will come up on the November 8th, 2025, with the start point at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere and end at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Arena, Onikan.
This year’s edition of the Lagos Women Run marks a significant milestone, celebrating the program’s journey, the vibrant city of Lagos, and the incredible women who have been part of it since its inception.
It will focus more on empowering women, acknowledging their dedication, and ensuring the program’s sustainability by providing participants with opportunities they deserve.
Popoola added that the race has achieved remarkable success in making women happy and uncovering talents, serving as a platform for participants to train for bigger road races, which fosters a strong sense of community, allowing women of all ages to connect, network, and celebrate themselves.
The event’s non-discriminatory nature makes it a level playing ground, open to everyone regardless of social status, by promoting general well-being among women.
The Franco-Malian tactician made the bold declaration whilst speaking to Nigerian legend Segun Odegbami on 90 Minutes with Mathematical on Eagle7FM on Saturday, expressing gratitude to fans for their support.
“Thanks to the fans. Thanks to Nigeria. I am so happy that I have brought back the smiles on their faces,” Chelle said.
“We beat Benin because the fans pushed the players. I ask them this: They have to do this (for the playoffs)… I plan to do my best for Nigeria, and Inshallah, we will go to the FIFA World Cup.”
Chelle, who took charge of a struggling Nigerian side in January, has transformed the team’s fortunes after inheriting a squad on the brink of disaster. Nigeria were winless in their first four qualifiers, with three draws and one defeat threatening to derail another World Cup dream.
Under his leadership, the Super Eagles rallied to win four and draw two of their last six games, collecting 14 points from a possible 18. The highlight came earlier this month in Uyo, where Nigeria swept past Benin Republic 4-0 in a statement victory that reignited national belief.
However, the revival was not enough to seal automatic qualification. Nigeria finished among the four best runners-up in Africa and must now navigate a continental playoff in November for a spot in next March’s intercontinental tie.
The first challenge is a one-legged showdown with Gabon, with Cameroon or DR Congo potentially waiting beyond.
Chelle’s message to his players was uncompromising, saying, “Qualifying for the FIFA World Cup is not a war, but it is like a war… My players need to have a warrior state of mind… They have to be like sharks.”
