EPL preview: round 5

This week:  Karim Mardam-Bey Vs Issa Marto Vs Wael al-Qadi

Liverpool v Burnley

Karim Mardam-Bey: 2-0, Burnley. This is really because of superstition. Of course I really think Liverpool will win, but as Burnley beat United, if I say that we will lose horribly.
 
Issa Marto: 2-0, Liverpool. Burnley will no doubt play their usual pressing game, but Liverpool, as they always do, will score two late goals.

Wael al-Qadi: 3-0, Liverpool. This will be a very comfortable home win the Scousers – and they certainly need one after their start!

Manchester City v Arsenal

Karim Mardam-Bey: 3-1, Arsenal. I think it’s about time that Adebayor had his comeuppance and Arsenal will be in the mood to show City that they’re not contenders yet.

Issa Marto: 1-1. City have started the season well. But Arsenal's quality will prove too much and they’ll be the first team to score past City this campaign.

Wael al-Qadi: 2-1, Arsenal. I think this game will demonstrate that City are not top four material just yet.

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United

Karim Mardam-Bey: 2-0, Spurs. They’re playing the best football in the top flight right now, and I hope it will be enough to end United’s title hopes. Already.
 
Issa Marto: 1-1. Another draw for me. Tottenham have been the best team so far, but United should be energised after their narrow victory against Arsenal.

Wael al-Qadi: 3-2, United: Tottenham’s unbelievably lucky start to the season will come to an end – thanks to more luck from United late on in the game.
