Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[SOKO-DEKE]

Writing Manchester city off the English premier league title race this early is a very foolish thing to do. We have seen several times where other teams had a good gap on Manchester city at the top spot but later on Manchester city turned it around to take home the English premier league title from that Team.
I actually want the title to go Arsenal way j think it's fair for them to have it, they have been consistent in recent seasons and we have seen them play well so its only fair it goes to the Gunners but that's not how things are done, the team that are more hungry alway wins it

I understand your enthusiasm for the Premier League, and it's indeed premature for some to hastily predict the outcome after only 17 games. Although Manchester City may not be performing at their peak now, it's essential to recognize that teams can regain their excellence. Form is dynamic, and just because they face challenges presently doesn't rule out their potential triumph.

Reflecting on past seasons, we've seen fluctuations in team standings. Last season, Arsenal led the table significantly, but they eventually faltered, allowing Manchester City to claim the title. This illustrates the unpredictable nature of football, leaving room for unexpected turnarounds.

While you hope for Arsenal's success, a concern surfaces regarding their squad depth. The absence of quality players on the bench poses a risk, especially if key players suffer injuries. This vulnerability impacted their performance last season, prompting cautious optimism this time around. The journey to the Premier League title is a marathon, and the final outcome remains uncertain, encouraging patience and open mindedness as the season progresses.

Writing Manchester city off the English premier league title race this early is a very foolish thing to do. We have seen several times where other teams had a good gap on Manchester city at the top spot but later on Manchester city turned it around to take home the English premier league title from that Team.

I have actually thought the same thing, Manchester City are good at return but will that happen now? I don't see much buoyancy to come back to top of the league because I don't know why they will draw game with Crystal Palace and of all places, they did it in Etihad, that means they don't have power in home to defeat any team, Crystal Palace that is struggling to avoid relegation zone. I'm not shocked but this result though as they have displayed poor form when they played against Aston villa and we're defeated.

I actually want the title to go Arsenal way j think it's fair for them to have it, they have been consistent in recent seasons and we have seen them play well so its only fair it goes to the Gunners but that's not how things are done, the team that are more hungry alway wins it

I want the same thing but Arsenal aren't the only team that are very stubborn in the game, Liverpool game is still excellent and the way they are going, Manchester City isn't the only team they should be afraid but Liverpool and Aston Villa. The last time Aston Villa lost a match was 5th of November, isn't that shocking? The last time Liverpool lost match was 9th of November, this shows that the two teams are very in good form since last month and Arsenal has lost match this Month to same Aston Villa, they need to step up there games more to be able to win this season.

[Mr.right85]

Everyone will predict Liverpool and Arsenal who are a favorite of champions this season and this is naturally done because these two teams are still quite consistent so far in the league. But compared to Arsenal I also agreed that Liverpool would be a much stronger candidate because it was mentally speaking Jurgen Klopp and the players were far more prepared than Arsenal.

This will be an exciting match because the battle for the top of the EPL standings is at stake between the two clubs Livepool and Arsenal, both are only one point apart and of course this victory is very necessary, Jurgen Klopp looks like he will surprise Arsenal at Anfield especially considering their previous failure against Manchester United with The draw was a bit disappointing, that's why against Arsenal, at least Liverpool should be able to get full points at Anfield.

I don’t expect Liverpool to play Arsenal the way they did against Manchester United. In fact Liverpool cannot be that dominating against this Arsenal side. The last time they both met at Anfield, Arsenal were ahead and had the game at hand until they lost control and Liverpool scored to late goals. I think Arsenal will want you win this time around. They have the qualities needed in every positions to beat this Liverpool side.

Liverpool will struggle against them in the midfield. Endo, Szoboszlai cannot match the energy in that Arsenal midfield of Rice, Kai Havertz and Odegaard. The additions of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz have made a difference in that Arsenal midfield since the departure of Xhaka and the absence of Thomas Partey. Their stature instantly made Arsenal a more imposing team and the duo have helped improve their pressing game too.
Liverpool will have to be at their to beat this Arsenal team.

Writing Manchester city off the English premier league title race this early is a very foolish thing to do. We have seen several times where other teams had a good gap on Manchester city at the top spot but later on Manchester city turned it around to take home the English premier league title from that Team.

Learning from last season, Manchester City was several points behind Arsenal, but who would have thought that in the end Manchester City would be able to turn things around and become EPL league champions. Likewise this season, never write off Manchester City from the race to win the EPL League because entering the second half of the league often brings unexpected surprises. Moreover, Liverpool and Arsenal face each other this weekend, of course one of them will lose points.

I actually want the title to go Arsenal way j think it's fair for them to have it, they have been consistent in recent seasons and we have seen them play well so its only fair it goes to the Gunners but that's not how things are done, the team that are more hungry alway wins it

Yes, personally I also want Arsenal to win the EPL league title this season because it's a shame they haven't won the EPL for a long time, the last time Arsenal won the EPL was in 2004 or you could say 20 years, this is a very long time.

If crystal palace fails to win tonight, it will be their seventh conservative premier league game played this season without a win after completing over 15 premier league games this season, they have so far been an average team without much to be expected of them because they have actually not been above average this season in their performance.

Sometimes the try to show a tough teams and the other times they are just a average or even below average. I see them as an average team who will not be able to get to top four this season but Brighton has got a better form and have won two out of their last five games, they are not a weak side and this season they have been trying tho not to equate with bigger teams but they have got 67 points at the ninth position on the table crystal palace is some good points below them but crystal palace is mostly trying to be tough when the meet with team like this.

Watching average clubs playing against each other, probably the match tends to become boring because there's certainly no actions and the expected actions comes from both sides. Points accumulated by crystal palace can either boost their standings on the EPL table or it will gradually draw them closer to the relegation zone. Roy Hodgson will enable his tactical formations to win this tough opponent. We how how competent and confident Roberto De Zerbi have grown to become for the seagulls. Crystal Palace can be able outperformed Brighton & Hove Albion tonight at the selhurst park.

Liverpool vs Arsenal will certainly be a crucial match, a direct clash that could make it clear who really rules in the Premier League. Statistics in hand it is difficult to say which of the two will be able to win, the technical differences are really minimal. But I think Liverpool have a more compact team than Arsenal. On December 23rd we will know who can be elected Winter Champion

Going by statistics it's definitely going to be difficult been able to predict this match probably almost unpredictable because the statistics Will be given both team so many similarities in performance and other statistics this season so far and no doubts these two team have really done so much that has earned them various spots on the league table this season.

I would want to look away from the regular statistical analysis, looking from the psychology analysis, the last premier league game Liverpool played was against Manchester united which ended in a goalless draw and yesterday in their EFL match against westham, they won by 5 goals, this could tell they have an average confidence In the premier such that can't be seen as really strong enough meanwhile Arsenal  won Brighton in their most recent premier league game by two goals with Brighton getting a single goal, but against Liverpool Arsenal will be playing from away so some how this may tell ok their confidence and mentality but then they still have a good psychology tho not in a 100% good form,  home advantage is the edge Liverpool has got in this game but the gunners will definitely fight to get a point at least .

Looking at the psychological confidence the arsenal players have now, i think liverpool will have a very difficult game, yeah looking at the way Liverpool played against Manchester United the other day, we might give them some credence because they played with some level of dominance against Manchester United but the playing pattern of Manchester United and Arsenal are quite different, however the Arsenal team have a lot of defensive and attacking midfielders that can easily create chances and score, Liverpool on the other hand will try to have some defensive and attacking mindset more like a counter attack mindset, it's really going to be an interesting game to watch, because it will be very intriguing.

Any team trying to play Arsenal using a counter attack is probably risking the game. I have seen it several times, when Manchester United tried it, Chelsea tried it and Luton as well. Any team that want to challenge Arsenal strongly should focus more on breaking and dominating the gunners midfield properly. Only through that way there will be opportunities to score and handicapped Arsenal in the game. Liverpool is a team i believe that loves the counter strategy but they should remember that Arsenal has intelligent defenders which they may not succeed in their counter plans.

Sometimes the try to show a tough teams and the other times they are just a average or even below average.

Lol, do you think a team like Crystal Palace has any chance of making the top four? It's funny if you consider a team that has below average quality like Crystal Palace has a chance to enter the top four. Because after all, from season to season Crystal Palace has never been in the top zone in the Premier League standings.

So yes, how can you consider that while it is clear, that Crystal Palace does not have a good history either from season to season . But ya, regarding today match where Crystal Palace will play against Brighton I think this match is not so interesting. Because anyway, although at least Brighton has a chance to win but ya, I'm sure this match will not have many goals because it will probably be a tough match with minimal goals.

[rahmad2nd]

I feel like Arsenal will take the victory tomorrow. Liverpool really struggled against a weakened Manchester United. They had a total of 30+ shots and couldn't manage to convert any one of them into a goal. Nunez, Salah, and others need to work on this if they want to win any points tomorrow.

Arsenal at this moment are looking very good. They have beaten Brighton in their last match convincingly. Whoever wins this match will be in a clear good lead, which will help them get the championship at the end of the season.

But let's not forget about Manchester City and Aston Villa. Manchester City were behind Arsenal last season as well and they came back to get the Premier League. Even though they are 5 points behind, it has been only half of the season, and 19 matches are remaining. Aston Villa has the same points as Liverpool and they might be even at the top of the league by the end of the gameweek. Manchester City and Aston Villa fans will be hoping for a draw in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match. I myself cannot wait to see that match live.

As a Gunners supporter, I obviously hope Arsenal can beat Liverpool at Anfield. unfortunately, the match between these two teams will not be easy. I think as for the Leverpool vs United match, we have to look at it from various aspects. in short, United tend to play more waiting and counterattacking, they try to block every attack after attack that Liverpool builds. unfortunately, of the 30 total shots, not a single one could be converted into a goal. plus, United's defense at that time played quite well, disciplined and solid. apart from that, Onana was the last wall that was difficult for Liverpool to penetrate at that time.

Well, I have to judge as objectively as possible, even though Arsenal is my favorite team. of course, the meeting between these two teams will be different. it could be that the situation is reversed like when Liverpool dominated United. because we know, Arsenal's style of play tends to be more offensive. Klopp could have used the same tactics as United, waiting for Arsenal to let their guard down and counterattack. so, there will be many scenarios that occur when these two teams fight on the field. theoretically, both teams carry an offensive system. so, there will be selling and giving attacks in this match. we'll see, because a battle in the midfield will occur in this match. referring to the temporary odds, Liverpool is slightly superior. however, the odds may change before this match is held. for now, I won't speculate too far. let's just wait, before the meeting between the two teams is held.

Talking about Aston Villa, I don't underestimate Unai Emery's squad in the slightest. however, I have no idea if this team is able to finish in the top 4 of the standings. we'll see how far they go. City, is a club that cannot be seen simply because their performance is declining right now. this team is always able to eventually overtake the teams above their ranking. moreover, there are rumors that City players are recovering from their injuries. what is certain is that a change in position in the top 4 standings has the potential to occur. Well, let's just wait for the match between Liverpool vs Arsenal to be held.

At the moment, no team can be write off the premier league title especially those that are standing in the likely position to win it. Manchester City have proven themselves to be a very competitive club that will always fight to the end to get what they want for themselves. They have done it in the past and this time won’t be an exception. Even as Manchester City is going down the top race, I still haven’t lost a single hope in them not to comeback and fight for the league title back. We are just close the the mid season now, another long competitive football trial awaits us again, where many things can unravel and change the atmosphere of the league.

[kawetsriyanto]

Crystal Palace's draw against Man City was a good achievement and it will most likely boost their morale. But still, a match is not mathematics, which means that if Crystal Palace can draw with Man City, it doesn't mean they will easily be able to beat Brighton and one game does not reflect their true strength. Brighton did lose against Arsenal, but if you refer to their last 5 matches, Brighton has a better performance than Crystal Palace, where Brighton got 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, while Crystal Palace has 2 draws and 3 losses.

Agree. Crystal Palace surprised us by got a draw against Man City. Sure, it probably increased the motivation and mentality of their players for the next match. However, it is true that there is no guarantee that Crystal Palace will automatically win the next match against Brighton. If we take a look the squad quality and the stats of the last 5 matches, I assume Brighton still has a higher chance to win the match. Although the match will be held in Crystal Palace home, Brighton seems a bit superior. Don't forget that Brighton also quite often beats big EPL teams, too. So, nothing is so different with the experience of these teams in surprising us.

Well, I think we have the same assumption that it looks like Brighton to win the match. The stats of Crystal Palace looks very badly in the last 5 matches. This team just showed better stats in the match against Man City. Meanwhile for the other matches, Crystal Palace performed unexpectedly. I'm not sure Crystal Palace will have the chance to surprise us again in the match against Brighton.

Liverpool against Arsenal is an interesting match that will shape the way the Premiership title will go this season. Checking their H2H record, Arsenal have only won Liverpool once in their last 9 meetings. This makes Liverpool the favorite to win the match but base on present realities, Arsenal have maintained a good performance this season and have a golden opportunity of winning the league. So I see them going all out challenge their closest rivals. Liverpool will however, not give yield easily, Mo Salah will do his best to win a trophy this season because there are indications this may be his last season in Anfield. A lot are unclear about the match and it will really be difficult to predict.

This season's EPL League season is very competitive, the points difference is not too far from the teams in the top four. Man City is a bit inconsistent in some matches, but other teams must remain alert to Man City, because currently many Man City players are injured. The real test is when Man City players are not injured. Liverpool is mighty but doubtful. Arsenal are unpredictable until the season ends.

But in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I predict Arsenal will win. because Arsenal will take advantage of Liverpool's unstable (weak) midfield. And Arsenal must strengthen their wing-backs like Ben White. Because Ben White's weakness is when facing small and fast wingers.

[SOKO-DEKE]

If crystal palace fails to win tonight, it will be their seventh conservative premier league game played this season without a win after completing over 15 premier league games this season, they have so far been an average team without much to be expected of them because they have actually not been above average this season in their performance.

Sometimes the try to show a tough teams and the other times they are just a average or even below average.

Tonight's match between Crystal Palace and Brighton is a bit tricky to predict. You see, Brighton has been playing really well lately, and they seem to be in better form than Crystal Palace right now. If we look at their past games against each other, it suggests that the match might end in a draw. However, there's a chance that Crystal Palace could come out looking strong, especially since they're playing on their home turf. It's been a while since they've had a victory, so they might be extra motivated to win tonight.Still, based on what I've seen, I can't confidently say that Crystal Palace will beat Brighton. The game could go either way, and it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds on the field.

The game could go either way, and it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds on the field.

In my opinion, Brighton seems more likely to win the away game than Crystal Palace. I know Brighton has been unstable in the last few games, but Crystal Palace is much worse. Crystal Palace does not have a higher probability of winning than Brighton in this match, even if Crystal Palace plays at home.

Previously, Crystal Palace were very lucky when they forced Manchester City to a 2-2 draw, but luck was not always on their side. Brighton is more convincing in my opinion, the high probability of winning is one of the reasons the quality of play is better than Crystal Palace. However, the first half was still a draw, there were no goals until the first half almost ended.

[Coyster]

But in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I predict Arsenal will win. because Arsenal will take advantage of Liverpool's unstable (weak) midfield.

Are you kidding me, or are you talking about Liverpool's midfield of last season, because i think they have a great midfield this season, Alexis Mac Allister and Szoboszlai have brought a much needed strength to Liverpool's midfield, they have both been great signings for the club. Endo is not has good as the both of them and he has not started off as good as them, but he is also holding his own, Jurgen Klopp has also played Trent in midfield, but he usually does it during games, by bringing in Gomez and pushing Trent into midfield, thus i don't think they have too many problems in that position.

Liverpool v Arsenal is difficult to predict, but i don't think Liverpool would lose because the game is at Anfield, my prediction is that Liverpool would either win or draw the game, Arsenal are not going to win it.

In my opinion, Brighton will prevail in this match because they are playing better than Crystal Palace. Even though Crystal Palace and Manchester City ended in a draw, that does not mean that they will triumph over Brighton. In the match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace, I believe that Manchester City should have won because they made a mistake and some of their players are not even present. If not, Crystal Palace would not have been able to score any goals at all.

Brighton won't even be laughing at this match because Crystal Palace will feel like they can win because they have a chance to end in a draw with Manchester City. The fact that Crystal Palace is still in position 15 in the league also indicates that they are performing poorly. I think they will also put a big odd in the match, so I would advise anyone to bet sensibly on this game.

Tonight's game between Palace and Brighton seems tough. Both teams were given not so many odd differences to win the game but judging from past games, Brighton have proven to be a more better side to win. They've had good game records, they've been able to put up fierce contest too against teams.

 I'd say the only advantage Palace may possess is the home ground advantage because judging fairly, they've not actually performed up to the range of Brighton. There's every tendency that both sides may score each other or the game ending with a very minimal goal margin too. The two sides are in some way at thesame range of performance. Maybe or maybe not would any side win even though it's feasible but I think for both teams, it'll be best the game ends in a draw.

[Velvet78]

There could be an opportunity for Aston Villa to take the lead in the standings by this week. Because while Liverpool are hosting Arsenal in a really challenging game Aston Villa have a very comfortable home game against Sheffield Utd. I expect a really easy win for Aston Villa considering how much they are in form these days. Nothing below is acceptable for them now.

Som people are busy underrating Aston Villa but this week meeting will say many things. If Liverpool and Arsenal settles with 1 point each, and Aston villa fortunately overtakes them, it will just mean that there's no hope for Manchester city in this season English premier League.

I think it is still very early to be sure about Manchester City's capabilities this season honestly. Because there were times in which Manchester City had worse days but still won the Premier League title. Therefore we never know what the second part of the season will bring to us. But I hope Manchester City don't manage to win the title again.

Because I'm really bored of seeing them becoming champions nearly all the time for many years. Liverpool broke their streak once and now let's see whether a team will manage to do this again. Maybe it would be Liverpool again or Arsenal. I don't think Aston Villa will win the title but they are still amazing.

Pep Guardiola and his lads are returning back gradually back to fitness both Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are both back with the club. Jeremy Doku also included will be back soon but the club haven't given a fixed date for his return. When they return, the attack will be back with lots of goals but the defenders? Pep Guardiola also has to look at it once more. Twelve goals in the last six Premier League games? That's too much to be very honest.

Not wanting Liverpool to win are for personal reasons,  Arsenal should emerge winners in this game. I want to see them win the Premier League Competition at the end of this season but as you've said they're Fvckn unpredictable. I'm no gunner but I feel like they're going to step up them game. Unai Emery be doing well but how far can he go?

[Asiska02]

Liverpool vs Arsenal will certainly be a crucial match, a direct clash that could make it clear who really rules in the Premier League. Statistics in hand it is difficult to say which of the two will be able to win, the technical differences are really minimal. But I think Liverpool have a more compact team than Arsenal. On December 23rd we will know who can be elected Winter Champion

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal will be very interesting to watch, but I believe Liverpool will win because if you look at Liverpool this season, they are performing better than Arsenal and they will not make mistakes to lose against them because Liverpool wants to win the Premier League trophy and they are showing their efforts on the pitch, Arteta will play well but it will be very difficult for him to defeat Liverpool at Anfield, but football is unpredictable anything can occur in the match However, based on their performance this season you will believe Liverpool will defeat Arsenal this weekend, because they will not play as they did against Manchester United last weekend, and they will be prepared for Arsenal and I believe Arsenal will drop points and Liverpool will top the league table.

Liverpool played poorly against Manchester United and they will not repeat that mistake against Arsenal because they need to win the match and get the opportunity to top the table, it is an opportunity for them and if they fail to defeat Arsenal this weekend, I don't think they can top the league so easily again, because Manchester City are on the rise, and Guardiola is just waiting for Arsenal to lose points in order to get close to them in the league table.

The game could go either way, and it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds on the field.

Crystal Palace has already taken the lead few minutes before half time despite the fact that Brighton was dominating because they have more ball possession than Palace even though Palace is creating more attempts than them which has given them a goal before the first half.
Although I also expect a draw in this match considering how their statistics is showing, and for the fact that Palace was able to do a comeback against Manchester City last week, and Brighton lose to Arsenal, so almost all of them are in need of points.
