Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[snipie]

I see that Brighton's performance this season has declined a bit and it can be seen in the last few matches they have played that a draw against Crystal Palace is very natural, especially since the Crystal Palace team is in quite high confidence after successfully holding off Man City last weekend.

Indeed Brighton are fluctuating much this season comparing to the previous one when they were able to finish sixth in the ranking. This season, they are in the 8th position due to their weak defence line comparing to the attack line. They have the worst record of goals received after the teams in the relegation zone while the number of goals scored by them is very close to the top teams.
They might remain in this position since West Ham United will face Manchester United unless they get a draw. I know Manchester United aren't well at all so I am not rolling out their defeat..

Regarding the fight for the title, I think there is still quite a long way to go and it is not only Liverpool and Arsenal who are favorites but several other teams also still have the same percentage in the title race.
This weekend Liverpool will face Arsenal, it will be a fierce match for them fighting for the top position in the Premier League standings.

The gap between the top teams aren't that big and they have moments where they lose successive points in games so it isn't clear which team will be the most favourite among them. Manchester City odds remain high in my opinion, along with Liverpool then Arsenal. Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are doing fine too until now but I don't think they will compete the others in the long term.

Its really a damn shame that Brighton couldn't win this one, they did look like they were ready to take a win and it just didn't go according to their plan. They are still a nice team, I do have some love for them even though I am not British at all, but they do look like they are a cool small town team which makes me like them more. They were amazing last year, now they look like the yare decent, to be fair its already an achievement to establish yourself as a premier league team, there are like at least 10 teams who are already great and will stay, so becoming one of them was already great. I just wish they got the win they deserved or at least the expected here, would be a lot better.

It's a normal thing in Brighton, they always play good during early season, when they've reach middle season, they're struggle to win despite they still use a same strategy like when they were in early season.

Brighton performance is not that bad yet as they occupy 8th position in the league table and checking their last five matches, they've won two, draw 2 and lost one match to Arsenal so it's not a bad form for them at all.

And this is my speculation, it's a normal thing in Premier League where both Liverpool and Arsenal are in top position during middle season, when it's already in near end of the season, Manchester City will overtake Liverpool and Arsenal's positions.

Though of a truth that's really what happens to Liverpool and Arsenal like they will top the league to a certain stage then all of a sudden they will start dropping form thereby giving Manchester city an opportunity to overtake them and top the table even win the trophy but I see something different this season because either of Liverpool or Arsenal will make sure they make a win the trophy this season and they'll want to utilize the opportunity of gapping Manchester city, so I see either Arsenal or Liverpool winning the trophy this season though with the Force Aston Villa is coming with, you never can tell they might be up to something dramatic this season as well so let's watch and see how these teams will be able to maintain their forms till the rest of the season.

Aston Villa going head to head against the only team that almost every team in the EPL are using to get all 3 point, talking about "The Blades" (Sheffield UTD). The visitors has been trying to get things right but the EPL is like a different planet and they have to look for a way to adapt quickly and getting points if not they'll be going back to the championship.
Unai Emery and his boys are not in any way going to lose any game especially this fixture tonight since they're getting very close to the league leaders (Arsenal).
I expect Aston Villa to not just get all 3point but as well humiliate the visitors, because to make a statement to be at the top you have to make your next opponent be scared of you, so I'm saying Villa should use the visitors to set an example. With Villa having one of the deadliest attacker (Watkins) in the EPL I believe they can get more goals in tonight's game.

Aston villa will definitely embrace victory from Sheffield united in this match, because their results so far from the beginning of this season showed that they will achieve pretty goals both first half and second half from Sheffield united to frustrate their efforts and plans in this season. Many teams have used Sheffield united to improve their points and to make them have good results which Aston villa who have dominated well in some matches will also use this opportunity to achieve three points that will make them to remain in the third position for their manager to get more honor from their fans and other people that found the positive performance in Aston villa in this season.

It's a normal thing in Brighton, they always play good during early season, when they've reach middle season, they're struggle to win despite they still use a same strategy like when they were in early season.

And this is my speculation, it's a normal thing in Premier League where both Liverpool and Arsenal are in top position during middle season, when it's already in near end of the season, Manchester City will overtake Liverpool and Arsenal's positions.

Its normal with not big four teams performance in domestic league, have good started on the early until middle season their performance will drop drastically at the end season and failed raise top fourth standings. But Brighton Albion have loss winning matches on the middle season and current standings dropped to 8th place. Usually, Brighton Albion make us surprised success defeated big four teams such as Arsenal or Liverpool but in this season they have loss from all top teams faced and can't get three points against small teams such as last match get hold draw against Crystal Palace.

In Premier League the end standings position will dominance by top teams Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City but this season has Aston Villa success break to the third standings position with how many matches later keep on the top consistent performance.

[slapper]

For Manchester United this is another big and important game and I think this is especially true for ten Hag. If he wins it, he will again manage to stay close to the qualifiers for the UEFA competitions, but if he loses he will drop further. Against one of the closest competitors in the league now another loss would be devastating and could trigger the bosses to make some decision before this year ends.

The UEFA Champions League have become the main ultimate target of every elite clubs in these European leagues. Manchester United will face Westham United this weekend, who's wining? Remember the Hammers got humiliated 5-1 from Liverpool and I see everything wrong to watch pure defeats coming on the track of Manchester United. I hope Erik Ten Hag is planning solid position to ensure his side is base on winning every matches that crossed their path because the fans can't stand to watch the Red Devils lose another game.

I understand that elite clubs want the UEFA Champions League. Predicting Manchester United's match against West Ham is difficult. West Ham's latest hammering by Liverpool is depressing, but football is unpredictable. The Premier League is unpredictable, and clubs often recover from severe losses. Erik Ten Hag must plan ahead. United must strengthen their defense and exploit West Ham's flaws. With United out of the Champions League, they can focus on the Premier League, which could benefit them. I'm cautiously hopeful about United, but West Ham shouldn't be underestimated after a huge loss

It's a normal thing in Brighton, they always play good during early season, when they've reach middle season, they're struggle to win despite they still use a same strategy like when they were in early season.

And this is my speculation, it's a normal thing in Premier League where both Liverpool and Arsenal are in top position during middle season, when it's already in near end of the season, Manchester City will overtake Liverpool and Arsenal's positions.

Why do they think Brighton should win in this game even though Brighton's performance is not very good lately, in the last 5 matches Brighton only recorded 1 win 2 draws 2 defeats what we can expect from this record especially when Brighton plays away so the draw should be enough. Crystal Palace is also in the same situation it's just that they are a little more confident after a draw against Manchester City besides that the home team factor also has a positive impact so Crystal Palace doesn't lose more points. Crystal Palace and Brighton both have a difficult match in the next game and we don't know if they can get out of pressure, what is clear is the situation is not profitable.

Next today's match Aston Villa vs Sheffield, I think we all know that Aston Villa is on fire and Aston Villa also wants to stay in the top 4 so there is no reason for them to miss points moreover Sheffield is the worst team in the Premier League and strong candidates for the degradation zone. As for what we are waiting for the most is the match between West Ham vs Manchester United this match will be played tomorrow. This week many matches ended in a draw so I think the two teams might also play a draw.

Brighton have conceded 21 games in a row and it's a bad trend for the team. Apparently, having lost their main supporting midfielder, it has become more difficult to defend. Given the recent results of Brighton stopped talking about Roberto De Dzerby as a future star and recently they said that he will almost replace Guardiola in City, but now it is unlikely to happen.
Although there are many factors at play here, but apparently Roberto De Dzerby is not Emery and so far he has not been able to take Brighton to a more serious level.  

[X-ray]

Brighton is a renowned team. They have a very strong squad. But their main weakness is not being able to maintain consistency of performance. The team's performance is strong, but not consistent. Brighton failed to win against Crystal Palace. However, Brigton's performance was quite good. Brighton will play against Tottenham in the next match. It is no surprise that Brighton won this match. Brighton players have the ability to beat big teams.

Arsenal or Liverpool are the most likely to win the title. The performances of these two teams have been the most consistent so far. The Manchester City team has fallen far behind. On the other hand Aston Villa team is third in the table, but I guess this team will also lose their position in the table.

I see that Brighton's performance this season has declined a bit and it can be seen in the last few matches they have played that a draw against Crystal Palace is very natural, especially since the Crystal Palace team is in quite high confidence after successfully holding off Man City last weekend.

Regarding the fight for the title, I think there is still quite a long way to go and it is not only Liverpool and Arsenal who are favorites but several other teams also still have the same percentage in the title race.
This weekend Liverpool will face Arsenal, it will be a fierce match for them fighting for the top position in the Premier League standings.

No doubt that if brighton was slowly going down again. I remember when people are praising this club a lot like this one being unbeaten club. Brighton has got what it deserved. The club is slowly going down and this is what people wanted to see.
Zerbi to the real madrid? that's a big NO for el real to get him as a new coach. I will prefer to take xabi alonso rather than de zerbi as a new coach for real madrid. People knew that from the latest result of brighton if the club has trouble.

Zerbi is an over rated player. The city of Brighton is unfortunately experiencing another decline and is now transitioning back to being classified as a medium-tier club. My thoughts are revolving around the idea that Brighton might be able to deliver an even stronger performance, however, it ultimately depends on what they have up their sleeve against Palace.
Palace was also able to get draw against brighton which is very amazing to see that.

Aston Villa is only 1 point behind Arsenal at the top of the points table. We never imagined seeing this team at the top of the table. Villa have lost three matches this season and drawn only two. If Aston Villa can win against Sheffield United in today's match, they have a chance to take the top spot in the points table for the first time this season.

Aston Villa's past record against Sheffield United is not good. Aston Villa have won just one of their last 5 matches against Sheffield. And lost in two matches. And so the players of Aston Vulla have to play very carefully in today's match. Although Sheffield United have been in a very weak position this season, Aston Villa are likely to lose points if they make any mistakes.

[topbitcoin]

Round 18 are going to have good changes at the top we will have Liverpool vs Arsenal and before this match we will have Aston Villa vs Sheffield Utd in case win Aston Villa could be league leaders for the one day, and then we will have again new leader but best thing happening this fight is going till end of the season and fans will have action packed matches as well.

Seeing from the situation that is happening now, of course this is an advantage for Aston Villa because after all, at this time the performance that Aston Villa has and their opponent is Sheffield United, this will indeed be profitable for them and surely 3 points are likely to be taken.
The good thing is the match between Liverpool and Arsenal which makes Aston Villa even more favorable in this case.
Whatever the results of Liverpool and Arsenal will be, Aston Villa will still benefit especially if Liverpool and Arsenal draw in this match, Aston Villa will be able to take advantage of the results if they win.

Sheffield is currently in a condition that is not okay and they are one of the weakest clubs so far so with the performance that Aston Villa currently has, it is quite sure that they can get 3 points in today's match.

[tbterryboy]

I think you are underestimating Aston Villa, this team is on the right track and want to make history. I won't underestimate them because they have show consistency since the beginning of the season. Yes they struggled against Brentford and at the end they won the game that's how you know team that are doing well.

Brentford played defensive football against Aston Villa which was why Aston Villa struggled to win against Brentford. If the Arsenal and Liverpool match ends in a draw, Aston Villa will top the Premier League table because Aston Villa has an easy match against Sheffield United.

After having early lead they were doing good job as they were having good chance for taking some positive from this match but sadly 71st minute red card to Mee B bring good changes for the Aston Villa, and they were able to end deadlock which bring them with successor in this match, and now they are into top three with strong case to jump above as well.

Now as we are heading for the round 18th we have clash of titans which is surely going to be beneficial for Aston Villa, and they can take good advantage of this as well and their next few matches are also going to be good which can keep them at the top which is surely interested in this season we have many teams at the top, and they are also having good chances for the staying into top four.

A huge opportunity has been created for Aston Villa to take the top spot in the table. Aston Villa are currently 1 point behind Arsenal and Liverpool and Villa are level on points. Today Aston Villa will play against Sheffield United. On the other hand, Arsenal and Liverpool will face each other. If this match is a draw and Aston Villa wins then Aston Villa will reach the top of the table. On the other hand, if Liverpool win, Aston Villa will be able to occupy the second place in the table. In today's match Aston Villa's opponent Sheffield team is very weak. Now this team is at the last position of the table. This is why Aston Villa's chances of dropping points in today's match are very low.

[Hirose UK]

The 18th round has started and the first match took place today between Crystal Palace vs Brighton and this match was home match for Crystal Palace but they failed to win and only ended in 1 - 1 draw, this result is quite natural because Brighton is also good team strong.

It seems that in the 18th round there will be surprise where there will be shift in position in the standings for the top teams and of course the most interesting thing is the Liverpool vs Arsenal match because both have difference of 1 point.
If Liverpool wins, it is possible that Arsenal will go down because Liverpool is in first place and Aston Villa will play Sheff Utd, if Aston Villa wins, Arsenal will be in 3rd place.
This is pretty hot round in the match schedule because it really affects every top-ranked team in shifting positions.

Brighton is a renowned team. They have a very strong squad. But their main weakness is not being able to maintain consistency of performance. The team's performance is strong, but not consistent. Brighton failed to win against Crystal Palace. However, Brigton's performance was quite good. Brighton will play against Tottenham in the next match. It is no surprise that Brighton won this match. Brighton players have the ability to beat big teams.

Arsenal or Liverpool are the most likely to win the title. The performances of these two teams have been the most consistent so far. The Manchester City team has fallen far behind. On the other hand Aston Villa team is third in the table, but I guess this team will also lose their position in the table.

Brighton missed the opportunity to take MU's 7th place. Brighton still has many areas to improve. Brighton will be free to focus on the domestic arena. A break in the Europa League could be the premise to fly high again. Coach Roberto De Zerbi was worried when Kauro Mitoma was injured in the 1-1 draw between Crystal Palace. The Premier League is entering its most intense phase. The teams will have to play 3 matches within a week, and of course, Brighton does not want Mitoma to have a long break.

Arsenal leads the rankings. But they still cannot rest assured. This is an unusually promising season for both Liverpool and Arsenal, undoubtedly due to the unexpected decline of defending champion Manchester City. Arsenal regularly snatch late wins in tight matches - something many consider the mark of champions. Arsenal will have a stormy trip to rival Liverpool's Anfield stadium.

[temple]

There is Arsenal and Liverpool and Aston Villa and Manchester City. But there are still some teams behind that waiting for their chance.

Aston Villa have a really good chance to go to the top of the table if they can win Sheffield and then Arsenal and Liverpool draw points. Aston Villa should win their game, Sheffield are no match for them in the premier league, Sheffield are 20th on the EPL ranking this season, and then looking at the form that Aston Villa play with at home, I cannot see any hope for Sheffield to win this game unless of course Aston Vila underrate them and then decide to take this game unserious.

I remember how it took Manchester City 88 minutes until they were able to win the game against Sheffield United and nobody thought that it would be that hard for Manchester City to win the game. That is why I would be more cautious with absolute statements like "Sheffield are no match for them". The match must be played first and then we can see what's possible. I agree that if the game goes as the table standings suggest, this should not be one of the harder games for Aston Villa. But this is something to keep in mind, the closer Aston Villa gets to the top, the more might kick in the mental burden as well as expectations start growing.

This is premier league,and anything can happen, althought I'm aware of the fact that Aston Villa are in an excellent form to be able to beat any team,but one thing I love about premier league is how dynamic the game here is,the teams you don't expect to lose will lose when nobody expected,and as we are saying that Shefield is a team that cannot play or win Aston Villa, anything can still happen in this game,so we just need to watch out for it,and conclude only when the game has been played.If Arsenal and Liverpool should draw,then they will be the league leaders,but I doubt if Arsenal will draw this game because Arteta is looking forward to breaking that Jinx of not winning at Amfield,and all the players are so eager to break that yoke as well,and for that to happen,they must  take every chance they have very seriously and make sure they turn those chances into goals.

But this is something to keep in mind, the closer Aston Villa gets to the top, the more might kick in the mental burden as well as expectations start growing.

In this match Sheffield United will want to draw the match. So they will play completely defensive from the beginning of the match. Aston Villa players must be very careful in this match. If somehow the Sheffield United players manage to score the first goal of this match, it will be much more difficult for the Aston Villa players to come back. All Sheffield United players will play the role of defenders in this match. Because the defense of this team is weak. It is not easy to score against such defensive gameplay. Aston Villa players must play attacking from the start of the match and dominate the match. If not, Aston Villa is afraid of losing points in this match.

[Strongkored]

Aston Villa is only 1 point behind Arsenal at the top of the points table. We never imagined seeing this team at the top of the table. Villa have lost three matches this season and drawn only two. If Aston Villa can win against Sheffield United in today's match, they have a chance to take the top spot in the points table for the first time this season.

Aston Villa's past record against Sheffield United is not good. Aston Villa have won just one of their last 5 matches against Sheffield. And lost in two matches. And so the players of Aston Vulla have to play very carefully in today's match. Although Sheffield United have been in a very weak position this season, Aston Villa are likely to lose points if they make any mistakes.

There is a very big chance for Aston Villa to win the match, even though in the last five meetings Aston Villa did not have good statistics against Sheffield, but my predictions that will not have an effect because currently, the two teams are quite different, where Aston Villa is in a very good trend with wins in a row and also defeating two strong teams became their big capital that this season they became a team with very good progress and became one of the contenders for the title, meanwhile, Sheffield is a team that is very difficult to win against any team.
However, Aston Villa will only occupy the top of the standings temporarily because my prediction is that the match between Liverpool vs Arsenal will not end in a draw but one team will get 3 points and Liverpool has the greatest chance of winning so they will take over again at the top of the standings.

[wiss19]

For Manchester United this is another big and important game and I think this is especially true for ten Hag. If he wins it, he will again manage to stay close to the qualifiers for the UEFA competitions, but if he loses he will drop further. Against one of the closest competitors in the league now another loss would be devastating and could trigger the bosses to make some decision before this year ends.

The UEFA Champions League have become the main ultimate target of every elite clubs in these European leagues. Manchester United will face Westham United this weekend, who's wining? Remember the Hammers got humiliated 5-1 from Liverpool and I see everything wrong to watch pure defeats coming on the track of Manchester United. I hope Erik Ten Hag is planning solid position to ensure his side is base on winning every matches that crossed their path because the fans can't stand to watch the Red Devils lose another game.

Manchester United is currently at the seventh spot with their performance is unpredictable, and they are having many internal issues as well but still they have time and quality to jump from here to in top ranks but for this they need to have solid strategy and better conditions at the dressing room without this we can expect better results which are important for the having chance for next season's Champions League few teams are doing good job and have much better chances which is going to be competitive for them as well.

Erik ten Hag is under tremendous pressure for having better results, but his own strategy is not helping his team which is surely wired situation for him and his management, but if he is not able to have anything positive in coming matches then surely we can expect another change here in this club.

[Pulsar77]

Aston Villa have a really comfortable match today. Sheffield Utd are one of the worst teams in the league this season. They have the weakest defense with 43 goals conceded in 17 matches as well. Aston Villa should be able to destroy them by at least a multiple goal difference. Winning this match will help them be the new leader in the league as well.

They will hope for Liverpool vs Arsenal match to end in a draw to be able to finish the week in the 1st place. Maybe that match could really end in a draw as these teams are both very powerful.
