Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Ndabagi01]

Liverpool already scored. With the goal scored by Darwin Nunez, Liverpool took a 1-0 lead against Burnley, even though it was the beginning of the match. They are one of the secret favorites of the league. I think they will be in an important position in this race with Arsenal and Manchester City. Nunez is slowly getting back into shape and there are effective attacks with Salah. Liverpool are playing like that effective season two years ago.

Liverpool are currently on a winning streak and have been performing admirably. They deserve to give their all in every match in order to keep their league position. They must be serious about their game, and after a 1-0 lead at halftime against Burnley, it appears that this match will end in their favour. They are one of the favourites to win the Premier League this season, and they don't appear to be slowed down or underperforming anytime soon. They have more consistency in their game than any of the top four teams in the table right now.

I know that during boxing day there are a lot of surprise results as the 433 Instagram page had shown some crazy results in this very day in the distant year of 1963 with even 10-2 as a result in a game in what was called First Division then but I never thought to see Newcastle losing at home to Nottingham Forest which for me will remain the biggest surprise result of this week.

Bournemouth is the only team which is super stable and is having a lot of fun while playing beautiful football while also getting the three points.The important games will be playing at night time now in the UK,Liverpool and Manchester vs Aston Villa.

Liverpool are playing nice in this match but I wouldn't say they are dominant entirely in this match because Burnley seem to be attacking a lot tonight, though they haven't really gotten any concrete chance but I think they are gonna find the back of the net once they get the chance, and it seem like Vincent Kompany side are relying on the counter attacks to distabilize the Liverpool defence which has been a very good tactics for them in this match but we are yet to see what the Burnley side would make out of this constant counter attacks, maybe they might make out something in the second half.

Nunez scored a quick goal after only 5 minutes of the first half, but after that Liverpool had difficulty doubling their lead. Burnley couldn't do much other than defend while waiting for the right time and opportunity to counterattack, but they failed to do so in the first half.

Now the second half has started and like the first half, I think Liverpool will lead the game until the end. Liverpool are favorites for this match and Burnley will inevitably have to accept the fact that they need to defend better and not concede more goals. Liverpool will lead the standings if they win, but Arsenal still has a chance to take it if they beat West Ham in the next match.

Liverpool vs. Burnely It's going to halftime, and Liverpool got a lead with a goal from D. Nunez in just 6 minutes. D. Nunez scored such a beautiful goal and opened up the way for scoring. Liverpool are just dominating the game with his best performance status. Liverpool hit eight shots on target out of 14 and also just dominated possession. Liverpool players make beautiful chances to score, but one is denied by the post, and another open goal is disallowed by the reffre due to D. Nunez fouled on the defender. However, D. Nunez did kick him, and guys, you can see clearly in the match that he did kick, but unfortunately, the referee disallowed a goal. But let's see what happens next. I mean, in the next 45 minutes, but I think just like in the first half, Liverpool will also fully dominate the second half, make up his place in the league table, and secure three points for the battle between Liverpool and Arensel.

Watching the game, we will quickly observed how competitive and serious Liverpool have been against the hosts. Darwin Nunez open the scoring and they're leading 1-0 till halftime. Jurgen Klopp need to pave more path because that's exactly one of the good opportunities they dear not to missed and Vincent Kompany have to talk some sense to his players in the dressing room because they're not able to weigh the strength of Liverpool players. Burnley are on the pitch defending another goal from netting, instead they're suppose to be fighting to levelled the game not struggle to prevent another goal.

I don't think so. In the first half we only saw the dominance of Liverpool players. Although they managed to score only one goal in this match. However, the performance of Liverpool's players was very good. They did a lot of attacks. At the same time, Liverpool's players have 70% ball possession. Despite Bunrley's home match, they are under a lot of pressure. In the first half Liverpool players made 14 shots, while Bunrley players made only 2 shots. And not a bit on target. Hopefully Liverpool will be more attacking in the second half and will be able to score a few more goals. My guess is Liverpool will win this match 3-0 or 3-1.

It now 2 goals for Liverpool after Elliot added a second and it now seems like Liverpool are comfortable and looks as if they have secured the match. Ohh i think the goal was just disallowed for offside they should be comfortable but it seems there is still a lead to protect. They now sit on top of the table with two points ahead of Gunners. If Arsenal wins tomorrow everything will be back to normal and Arsenal will be leading with a point.

The match is not over yet, Liverpool need not relax if they want to win because we have seem teams pull off late goals in the premier League so Liverpool need to be careful and add a security goal.

Yeah. I predicted Newcastle would win 3-0   And at first everything was fine for them, hardly anyone could have imagined that Wood would score a hat-trick with the score 1-0 in favor of Newcastle. Bournemouth's big win is also a surprise - I didn't check the odds, but it seemed to me that Fulham were the favorites before the game.

Looking at the current odds, I am actually quite hesitant if I want to bet on one of the current clubs even though the odds are quite promising.

Extremely suspicious quotes. By all measures, Aston Villa should be favorites in this game - they have 11 points more plus their goal difference is +16, while United's is -5 LOL! But it seems that bookmakers, as always, “know something” and you should refrain from betting on this game, although for me a bet on Villa has obvious value.

Still, I will hope that United will again lose points and the position of the new co-owner of the club (as they say, he considers Ten Hag’s dismissal inevitable, the only question is the timing) will strengthen.
As always, the names of supposed successors circulate in rumors (there’s even Ancelloti haha, and Zidane who will never go to England and take over a crisis club), but from reality it’s Potter. And as they say, Radcliffe is betting on him.
I hope the bookmakers are wrong and United will lose today - will there be any options left after this to keep Ten Hag?

Rasmus Hojlund hasn't gotten a goal in the EPL and that's a bit frustrating especially the game they lost to West Ham when he was substituted, you could see the frustration on his face. The manager (ETH) hasn't gotten a style of play that would make things easy for the striker to get his first EPL goal and tonight they're facing Unai Emery Etxegoien side who got a draw against Sheffield, it will be a fixture the home side would like to get a win and by the way Aston Villa are going about business I feel Manchester United will also find this game to be very difficult like the previous game, so I wonder how they'll handle this challenge of getting a win and also helping the striker get his first goal for the club in the EPL.
Who knows, this could be a fixture that Manchester United could box their way through this poor performance by getting all 3 point.

One thing I like about Manchester United coach is that he has the patience to wait on any player who is having a difficult time to come back to what they are used to know before he bought them. Take Onana for example, he was overly criticized by the media and also by Manchester United fans. The Manchester goalkeeper himself knew that he has not been performing in his great form but yet Manchester United coach still gave him a place and now he is part of the game.

The case of the young Manchester United striker will not be a different. I believe Manchester United coach will still be giving him chances till he score his first English Premier League goal. It is not easy to be very honest with you for a coach to be using a striker every week and he is unable to get a goal. The only saving grace of Hojlund is that he has scored very well in the Champions League but that is not enough. He needs to prove himself in the English Premier League.

Onana's case is completely different and to be frank with you the form of the team is just a reflection of Onana's performance, if the team is doing well Onana won't have been picking the ball from the back of the net.
And the poor performance Manchester United are having is just the cause of why Onana is seen as a bad investment, when he was the shot stopper of Inter Milan he was doing great but UTD is just not in good shape so I don't see why after spending that amount of money on Onana, he will be on the bench, Onana is good and he can't be on the bench because Man UTD are always losing games.
As for giving Hojlund the chance to continue playing is just that the coach don't have any other option other than playing the striker week in week out, I just feel he can't score if the team don't play as a unit.

Burnley and Liverpool match is on right now and Liverpool is taking the lead with 0:1 goal courtesy of D. Núñez who scored in the sixth minute. There is so much tension in this game as Burnley is also showing some awesome display despite conceding early goals so let's see how the first half gonna end but I see another goal coming from either side before the end of half time because the pressure by both clubs is getting serious.

The game is getting to an end, and Liverpool is still leading, winning the game 0-1, and with their current performance on the pitch, I will say that Liverpool will win the game because Burnley are not really showing like the team who wants to equalize the game. If Liverpool did not add goals, they will surely go with this one goal and claim their three points, and three points is what really matters most. Currently, Liverpool is the team leading the Premier League table with a two-point difference with Arsenal,but if Arsenal is able to win their matches against West Ham, Liverpool will still be in second place.

[Unsoldier]

I think any football fan would want that, it can be compared to Leicester's fairytale in the 15-16 season, it was phenomenal. Aston Vila went out of the league that season finishing in last place by the way. If they pull off a miracle like that I'll be delighted for them.

Even though such a fairy tale is very beautiful if it is repeated again but in the end it is still very difficult to happen because after all for things like what happened to Leicester a few seasons ago, apart from the cohesiveness and consistency that is intertwined things like this must also be accompanied by luck for a club and I still feel that Aston Villla will still be very difficult to do that.
Not without real reason in this case because after all, of course we know that with the current situation for several big clubs, such a dream for Aston Villa will be very difficult to happen.
Currently Manchester City despite having problems in the last few matches but still they will still be very troublesome and become the first strong candidate to become champions. In addition, now there are Liverpool and Arsenal who will again enliven the competition after last season it can be said that Liverpool failed for that but now it is a differentiator so it will be very difficult to feel the beautiful fairy tale of Leicester repeating itself.

I think this club has a lot of luck, as they are one step away from the top spot, and they have been quite strong this season. I wonder how it will all end, if they will even get into the European Cup if they suddenly start losing or where they will be at the end of the season, because there is no faith in their victory so far

By looking at Emery's coaching record, they could have competed in the Champions League competition or at least in the Europa League for the end of the season because we know that Emery is a specialist coach who can always take his club in a better direction and not even imagined before because before Aston Villa, a few seasons ago he also managed to bring Villarreal even to the Champions League semi-finals which was never imagined before considering that at that time Villarreal met Bayern in the quarter-finals.

Now Aston Villa's chance is certainly very large, it just depends on the performance also in the end because we know that the EPL until now is known for its competition and when they slack off it could be a problem for Aston Villa in the end.
This week they will be faced with a big match because the opponent is Manchester United although indeed until now Manchester United still has problems in terms of performance but of course this could be interesting because Manchester United is also not an easy opponent to beat.

Aston Villa has excellent results in their matches. Emery's team managed to beat Arsenal and Man City. Villa plays very stable and confident. And since MJ lose very often in recent matches, so I do not doubt the victory of Aston Villa.
I assume that in this match will be scored a minimum of goals. Because Aston Villa is winning, but scoring few goals. In addition, now the team ten Hague began to play more confident in defense and they concede fewer goals.

That was a solid win for Liverpool and they defended well as they didn't allow any serious attempts from Burnley, but I think Klopp was wishing for an earlier second goal. Liverpool often keeps the game open for too long in my opinion. The second goal was the nail in the coffin for Burnley, but still the timing was pretty late.

I need to get used to the fact that Manchester City is in 5th position, it really looks wrong! But I like it how the table is now. We have this surprise team Aston Villa and then some good and strong contenders for Manchester City to not make the season boring. There's everything it needs for a great season.

Bournemouth against Fulham does not qualify as one of those surprises to me because the match was not difficult to predict.  Who would expect any surprises from Bournemouth defeating Fulham that are very weak at away and have not won a single away game for a long time now? Bournemouth on the other hand, have consistently done so well, defeating Nottingham Forest three goals to nil from the hat trick of their hitman Dominic Solanke  

The victory of Bournemouth tonight was well deserved because they outplayed Fulham as well as defeat them. As usual, Dominic Solanke scored a goal out of the two goals that Bournemouth won with. It was indeed an interesting match and full of fun as expected from Bournemouth.

Am just so curious what might happen to ten hag if Manchester united were to lose the night game against Aston villa although with all the pressure and losses one might expect them to squeeze out a win from the game but when it comes to Manchester united we don't have to be so certain and another thing they are playing with the one of the league giant killer, this team has literally won the highest teams in the league and winning this night game against a wounded Manchester united side won't be any surprise to me though but what will be the faith of ten hag if this was the case.

[ShowOff]

This season Aston Villa is the team that has beaten the biggest teams the most, such as:
- Chelsea vs Aston Villa 0-1
- Tottenham vs Aston Villa 1-2
- Aston Villa vs Manchester City 1-0
- Aston Villa vs Arsenal 1-0
- Manchester United vs Aston Villa ? My guess, 1-2 for Aston Villa to win.

I think Aston Villa is very sorry for the less than satisfactory results in the match against Sheffield United a few days ago. Villa failed to lead the standings because they only drew, but today they have a tough opponent to beat. Maybe it would be very interesting if Aston Villa were able to win the match against Manchester United, which means they have managed to beat the 5 big teams to compete at the top.

The only saving grace of Hojlund is that he has scored very well in the Champions League but that is not enough. He needs to prove himself in the English Premier League..

Eric Ten Hag is really good when it comes to grooming young players and you can see from the young Ajax squad where he built players which are now doing well in their variously teams. And that’s one quality of a good coach, i think he stil needs more time to find his possible best 11 that he'll be comfortable to work with and that could be achieved if United take advantage of the upcoming window.

 Patience even when the player is being criticized, because he knows the quality he saw and still sees. This was the case for Onana and will still be the case for Hojlund especially as he’s proved himself in the UCL with Manchester United colours. The English League seem to ve one difficult one and a foreign player like Hojlund will need to get his foot strong to get on a fitted scoring boot. I also feel when tge entire team’s performance improves, his will also improve amd that’s the confidence of Eric Ten Hag too.

[Marykeller]

Burnley are defending with everything they hold dearly because they're playing against a top side and ought to become very careful.

Liverpool are not Chelsea that flops against teams that they are expected to win. They are expected to win this game, and they have started very well with Nunez finding the goal before the 10th minutes. A Liverpool victory will mean that they go top of the premier league table pending Arsenal's game against West Ham. Liverpool's momentum in this game will not be easy for Burnley to match, best result that Burnley can snatch from this game will be a draw, because Liverpool are a strong team this season, that has a fighting spirit to win all games even if it is in the final minutes.

At the end of the match, our expectations for Liverpool to win against Burnley happened as we expected. The 2 nil victory over Burnley has taken them to the top of the premier league table, and it will now pressure Arsenal to do the same(to win) against West Ham by all means so that they will continue their stay at the premier league table instead of Liverpool.

As it stands, Liverpool appears to be at the top of the premier league table on Boxing Day, by next tomorrow, we will know whether their stay at the top of the premier league table will remain till next year or Arsenal will take it away from them when they play against West Ham in their 19th match of the season.

Who could possibly be the savior for Manchester United tonight is Onana. He was when they played against Liverpool even though he wasn’t given much credit for his goalkeeping. He was nervous yes but, he soon found his confidence in the game and was able to keep a clean sheet. Even now, with Manchester United playing at home against the Aston Villa side, if he could manage it to gain his confidence early in the game, he just might help his team from loosing but, that’s an in-view expectation as the loads of critics on him gets him in a tensed state even before the kick off and that could be the difference between winning or loosing for Manchester United tonight:

[Dzwaafu11]

The liverpool vs burnley match is an interesting game between the two teams and Liverpool have already given a goal to the opposition with a great attack. Liverpool's players have been going through great performances this season and they are in the best position in the EPL and occupy the top spot. Liverpool must be fighting against a great attacking team today which can be assured of a win. Although today's match is at Burnley's home ground, they have not been able to perform very well and attack strongly against Liverpool. But if Liverpool can attack strongly, Burnley can definitely tie the game. But since we have seen Liverpool as the strongest team in the Premier League this season and they are at the top of the points table, it will be very difficult for Burnley to beat them. And in today's match surely Liverpool will win the match and collect their points.

Liverpool have already won the match with two goals against Burnley. However, I was thinking Burnley will do well today, even if it’s small since they are at home, but they failed to do that. Burnley have not been doing well this season, but when there is a game, the home team always dominates the match, but I didn’t see that in them. Although we all know how strong Liverpool is this season, they have already occupied the top spot, and I believe they will try the best they can with any of their opponents to see them win against any team.

However, Liverpool played a great game against Burnley today because they won them 2 even at home, which made me believe there is no opponent that will come there and they won’t beat. Even though I know that football cannot be predicted all the time, given how strong they are now, seriously, they are doing excellent, and I think they will continue to remain in that position in the standings.

[Chilwell]

Liverpool has finally landed on the top of the table with 42 points, can they top till next year, this decision is for Arsenal to make.
 
Man Utd v Aston villa
Lineups

Man Utd — Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Varane, Diogo Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Rashford, Bruno Fernandes(C), Garnacho; Højlund.

Aston Villa — Martínez; Konsa, Diego Carlos, Lenglet, Digne; Bailey, McGinn(C), Douglas Luiz, Ramsey; Dendoncker; Watkins.
This game will determine whether Aston villa are still ready for top three, but with this squad they are good to go, but let see how they will play.
