Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Sakanwa]

I wonder if Arsenal regret their decision to replace Unai Emery with Mikel Arteta as the manager of Arsenal. Unai Emery has somehow transformed Villa Park into a solid fortress for Aston Villa this season, and even both Manchester City and Arsenal could not avoid a defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park stadium. I think Aston Villa will beat Sheffield United relatively easily today in front of their home fans.

They cannot regret losing Emery for no reason,I mean,how can they regret losing Someone when they have a other person doing well already.Arteta is doing so well with the young boys at Arsenal,and they are currently sitting on top of the league table,so hiring Arteta mad sacking Emery wasn't a mistake at all. I know this coming because Aston Villa win Arsenal,to be sincere,that game was supposed to be a draw, Harvetz scored,but they goal was not taken,when it was quite obvious that it was a goal.
Arsenal is the best team in the premier league this season and we cannot argue that,so why think they will regret losing Emery?

[Polkeins]

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.

In general, you logically write that the match for Aston Villa should be easy, that Sheffield is the last team in the league, but of the last 7 matches with Aston Villa Sheffield does not lose five, so the statistics is good. Although now Aston Villa are playing great and haven't lost the last 9 matches, but it's teams like Sheffield who get tripped up. I think the fight will be harder than ever today and I would say that a draw would be a good option for Aston Villa.

Manchester United have a really tough fixture these days. Their next game is an away one against West Ham tomorrow. West Ham are below their opponent in the standings maybe but this shouldn't misguide you. Because their recent form is way better than the Red Devils. Bookmakers are also favouring West Ham for the win in this game.

But the gap of odds is a small one of course. This is a game that could end up with every kind of a result. West Ham have just been destroyed by Liverpool in the EFL Cup so I'm curious about their morale. But I think they won't lose this game.

This will be a tough match for Man United. They will be playing as guests, so it is quite clear that they will face very persistent resistance from West Ham. Apart from that, Man United's performance is inconsistent, so there is no guarantee that they can play with their best form, moreover, so many of their players are injured, so this won't give Ten Hag many options. West Ham will be playing at home and a win over Wolves will at least increase their motivation and confidence.

Considering the recent results of Manchester United, I don't think the club can afford to lose more matches in the English Premier League. Like I said before, I think the manager of the club Erik Ten Hag is absolutely lucky to still remain as the manager of the club after they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League competition during the group stage in a group that contained teams like Copenhagen, Galatasaray and European giants Bayern Munich.

Manchester United play against West Ham this weekend and in their quest to finish the season in the top four of the league table, they'll definitely do anything possible to win that game. West Ham have been impressive this season and I won't be surprised to see them defeat Manchester United in that game. So I think it'll be a very difficult game for both teams but I'll go for a Manchester United win or draw

We've talked about this for quite sometime now here. Erik Ten Hag can't be sacked he had a great last season, the management of Manchester United can't overlook that aspect, they fail to do that and they're dump as Fvck. If he was lucky, then Jurgen Klopp was also lucky last season after seeing Liverpool crumble into the Europa League Competition. Liverpool management couldn't get him sacked because of the trophies he won the previous season..

Against West Ham United, that's gon be bloody game. The hammers will be seeing players like Kurt Zouma and former Southampton set piece taker back from Injury. They will definitely make that game hard for United. I don't expect much though, a double chance for Manchester United. Bruno Fernandez and Erikson should be back in the squad.

After Al-Ittihad lost the game against the Irai team in the Champions League they fired their coach Nuno Santo.
Also since Nottingham Forest fired their coach because of the weak performance they had during this season, they decided to hire Nuno Santo again. Nuno Santo signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Nottingham Forest.
His last experience in the Premier League was in 2021 when he was working at Tottenham.

Brighton couldn't take any points from Crystal Palace yesterday... I thought it would be a draw... But it should be noted that Crystal Palace played no worse than Brighton... Today Aston Villa have an easy opportunity to be in first place in the standings, but probably not for long...

Brighton failed to be able to use this match as a victory for them, because on paper Brighton was better than Crystal Palace. Their game was not bad, they also played well but maybe they were not lucky enough to be able to win in this match. They controlled the game and created 18 attempts and 6 of them were right on target, but they could only create 1 goal to balance the position after they fell behind through a goal created by Crystal Palace at the end of the first half. Crystal Palace also performed quite well, they managed to withstand every attack made by Brighton even they could take the lead first.

Aston Villa will have the easiest match of the season tonight. Their opponent is currently last in the league and they are playing really bad football. Even if they are not in the Premier League but in another league, a team that plays like this will always be at the bottom of the league table.
I think Aston Villa will win the match by scoring a lot of goals this evening. In order to take the lead, they must not make mistakes and win multi-goal victories in such matches

If everyone took into account past services to the club, then in this case it would be necessary to leave many coaches in their previous places, but it doesn’t work that way.

If the team is playing poorly now and the coach cannot correct the current results, then it is obvious that the team needs a new coach who can correct this. Ten Hag is not the coach who can return Manchester United to their former glory, this can be seen even from the players with whom he wanted to make a team. This is not enough to compete with the top teams in the Premier League.

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.

Manchester City were not just lucky in that game against Sheffield United,  it can  be a total different game for Aston villa which they may likely win the game, looking at the performance of Sheffield United performance it is very common they end up losing their games always. Aston Villa playing against Sheffield United it will be an advantage for Aston Villa to gain a full point.

Arsenal vs Liverpool game will be very interesting interesting game that might seems difficult for arsenal, this game might end up to be a draw game.  Aston Villa has more chances of leading the league this week.

Of course they were not just lucky. They won the game and it was well deserved, but it was close and they were about to tie the game. That is why I am saying looking at the table and then concluding that a game will be won guaranteed by the favorite is too short sighted. There have been several games in the Premier League where one of the favorites was against teams coming from the relegation zone or maybe up to 13th rank or so, and many of those games were close. Liverpool tied the game against Manchester United with 34:6 shots! 34 shots in 90 minutes and zero goals. Liverpool tied a game against Luton Town. Manchester City tied a game against Crystal Palace. They won their game against Luton Town only 2-1. They lost a game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I think these are examples enough to see that there is no automatic win in the Premier League.

logically Aston Villa should be very easy to beat Sheff Utd and I take this speculation from the performance of these two teams which is very different, whereas Aston Villa is in a very strong condition with great enthusiasm to try to challenge for the title in the EPL. but the question is, is Sheff Utd really in a bad condition? because a weak team like this, if they can find out Aston Villa weaknesses, will definitely be able to hold the match to a draw and to be honest, I'm a little doubtful about a match like this because Aston Villa has just experienced an increase in performance and is not certain to be stable like when they played against Bournemouth, where Aston Villa should have won. but it turned out that the match ended in a draw and also when Sheff Utd played against Brighton they actually managed to hold a draw.

It is very worrying to bet on a match like this because the teams at the bottom of the standings can sometimes provide surprises and it is a comfortable betting option to choose to bet on BTTS because I am sure both teams will score.

Aston Villa is currently performing quite well and when a team is in top form they will be very difficult to beat.
So I don't have the slightest doubt that Aston Villa will win the match against Sheffield United easily and this week Aston Villa has a big enough opportunity to displace Liverpool and Arsenal to be at the top of the Premier League standings if they win against Sheffield United and hope Liverpool, who will compete against Arsenal this week, ended in a draw.

Now Aston Villa is only 1 point away from Arsenal who are at the top of the standings, they are really quite good this season, Aston Villa have been able to beat several big teams this season and that proves that the Aston Villa team is ready to compete fiercely in the race for Premier League title this season.

Congratulations to Nuno Santo. He is having a good career. Moving from England to Saudi Arabia and back to England should be a nice experience. He should learn how to manage different players under different beliefs and religion. Also since he has been in England until 2021 he should be aware of the happiness in England.
Nothingham forest really needs a help. Since they were able to survive relagtion last season, they should do better this season. Although, coaches do not help clubs more than the management.
This post would have been in the Transfer and speculation thread.

Betting on Aston Villa is not only safe but also has a high win rate and Sheffield should be alert considering that Aston Villa is really in an aggressive condition this season. Unexpectedly, Aston Villa was able to silence Manchester City and Arsenal at home. So now Aston Villa will host Sheffield also at home with their home record there is no hope for the visiting club to come away with points.

It’s safe to assume Aston Villa would come out victorious in the game against Sheffield hence it could be considered safe to place bets on them.
They surprisingly were able to hold down and win top dogs, Man City and Arsenal. That’s a team with enough grit and determination to win then and it likely won’t be difficult to win Sheffield now. But with football, the outcome could be totally different than predicted.

Aston Villa playing at home could strengthen their resolve to win the game. They’ve got to win all the games they can to remain amongst the top four in the table.

Actually, there is no need for special analysis to predict this match we all agree Aston Villa can win easily, Aston Villa are still motivated to secure a position in the top 4 and left Tottenham by collecting 3 points from each match which is considered easy. From the Sheffield side I feel they have no way to overcome relegation I mean Sheffield is just waiting for this competition to end and is ready to return to the championship league they wouldn't care about the result of this match because they understood the situation even if they win, it's just pure luck.

[QueenVera]

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.

Yesterday's game between Palace and Brighton ended fair and squarely. For me, the game was actually going to be a tie for both teams. Even though Brighton was thought to be able to win the game, they gave them higher odds to winning which implies Crystal Palace being the better side over them yesterday. They did their best to hold the games but I for a fact knew Crystal Palace weren't going to take it easy and just embrace loss at home to Brighton.
 
 The outcome of the game caused a setback for Brighton to outrun Manchester United in the table. The table has taken a new shape though as Arsenal are the toppest even though that position isn't assured fully, there are still huge threats and it'd take extra resilience and efforts to stay there. I really don't know if Arsenal would be able to keep this up or maybe they just try their best up to where their strength carries them.

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.

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.

I don't see such a scenario being considered by Sheffield United against Aston Villa, I mean they won't sacrifice themselves just to give Arsenal or Liverpool a better chance. Sheffield have conceded 43 goals in 17 games this season, so I don't think parking the bus can help them prevent conceding. They will have to play openly and try to give their best throughout the game, but if the aim is to prevent Aston Villa from leading the table then Sheffield might consider your scenario.

Aston Villa has a great opportunity to lead the standings while waiting for the results of the match between Arsenal vs Liverpool. Aston Villa must win and make good use of this opportunity because the match against Sheffield is the most logical match for them to win compared to their two previous wins against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Aston Villa must win today's match. And it is with such a mentality that Aston Villa players will probably play today. Aston Villa has been able to perform consistently well this season. , Aston Villa has been able to win this season against big teams like Tottenham Arsenal and Manchester City, the chances of Aston Villa losing against Sheffield United is very low.
Aston Villa can go top of the table even if Liverpool vs Arsenal draw. But they must win against Sheffield. Villa's players are very confident now. I believe Aston Villa players will make no mistake in this match. And will leave the field with 3 points.

Let's us to see a big upset in this match, sometimes football is really unpredictable. Sheffield United might stun Aston Villa in this game and everyone will be shocked. One thing I like about the premier league is that every team is a threat. We might witness something different from what everyone is expecting from this game.

I'm quite sorry that this season Brighton has experienced a slight decline in performance. I don't know whether it's an internal problem or not but compared to last season Brighton is much more stable. but there are some special notes when facing Crystal Palace many times they could only win narrowly. maybe several other clubs who feel  that Brighton is aggressive should learn from Crystal Palace the techniques for  breaking Crystal Palace attacks already  know the  ins and outs of Brighton strategy. There is still hope for Roberto De Zerbi troops to repeat the same thing as last season by finishing in the top 6. just need to wait  for the team above it to slip, especially Man United.

This is not enough to compete with the top teams in the Premier League.

After what Man United has gone through now, it seems that Ten Hag's position at Man United is still considered safe. No one knows for sure the reason why Man United is still giving Ten Hag a chance. Maybe with the consideration that changing coaches while the competition is still ongoing is a gamble. It might work but there is still potential it will not make things better or it could even end very badly. At least we will still see Ten Hag at Man United until the end of this season.

One thing I like about the premier league is that every team is a threat. We might witness something different from what everyone is expecting from this game.

I agree. Sometimes, football matches that would ordinarily have a side being a lot stronger than their opponents and predicted with a good margin to win the game go ahead to lose the game to the disappointment of a lot of people.
Aston Villa is clearly the stronger side and is predicted by quite a high margin to win the game. All that doesn’t rule out a possibility of Sheffield having a win in the game. It’s highly unlikely but still possible.
The premier league is really competitive and even big clubs have to be at their toes at all times as they too can get beaten by weaker clubs like Sheffield United.

It's a bit confusing because Steve Cooper achieved a lot in a short time. Forest needs to realize that Rome wasn't built in a day, and Cooper was a gem for the club. Hiring Nuno isn't bad business, but I don't think it was the right time for Cooper to leave. It seems like a great appointment, though. The Forest owner is desperate for European football. Nuno did an incredible job at Wolves during his time, and fans can hope he'll bring that magic to Forest as well.
Anyway, good luck to both on their journeys.
