The transfer rules in European soccer create a situation unique to leagues like England’s Premiership. Even though we’re late in the season and the League title is decided, teams that may have no motivation in the standings still tend to play true to form. That’s because the players on those clubs are all playing for their next contracts, whether with the current club or another. It is one of the late-season factors the weekly EPL swarm weighs when predicting games this time of year.

It’s been a few weeks since Manchester City sewed up the League Championship, and months since the title even seemed in doubt. Despite seemingly having little motivation, the Sky Blues continue to dominate; in fact, they may be playing some of their best soccer of the year as a relaxed team of players working to show they deserve a spot in the starting 11 of a championship side.

This week’s opponent and swarm pick of the week is indeed Manchester City, who host Huddersfield Town on Sunday. Although the Terriers have much more to play for (they’re situated perilously close to the relegation zone), the swarm predicts City will continue their almost casual brilliance and win this match handily. There’s a massive, overwhelming consensus in the replay above, and the swarm quickly chose this match (over Tottenham and United) for their best bet of the weekend.
