Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[odunybiz]

Newcastle United's bad run in the league continues.I thought they could lose points against Nottingham Forest but I had question marks in my mind about taking the risk.I wish I had taken it now because we might see a better Nottingham Forest with their new manager. Isak put his team ahead with a penalty goal in the 23rd minute but it wasn't enough for them.Chris Wood was the star of the game as Nottingham Forest defeated Newcastle United 3-1 away from home and won an important away game.Chris Wood scored 3 goals in 15 minutes.

Thinking that Nottingham Forest could take home some points from Newcastle is quite brave already, but hey you were right I guess. I didn't expect that ever. I could stretch my imagination to the degree that maybe a draw is possible for Nottingham when Newcastle doesn't get going during that game, but a 1-3 defeat at home? That was not part of my repertoire for potential results in this game.

This season is seriously beginning to fade for Newcastle. The Europa qualifiers are getting out of sight slowly, the Champions League is over for them and they missed the relegation into the Europa League. There is not much left if they can't start winning their games again immediately. The competition is fierce, just look at the 6 teams ahead of them.

Newcastle United's form has been on a downward trend for a few weeks now.I didn't say that because Nottingham are a good team, I could have said that Nottingham can take advantage of this bad run of form.At least they could have taken advantage of it by getting a draw away from home, but they managed to do better than that. They actually have a good squad and they have managed to use it well in their time to run a winning streak.I don't understand what has happened to the team that has changed so much and they are out of form.Maybe they have figured out what to do now and Newcastle are not being productive.

Newcastle is seriously a mess on me today. They really spoil things for me. They started well with a leading goal not until Nottingham get a draw very close to the end of first half. I never expected a victory from Nottingham. I think something is wrong inside the Newcastle team. Their losing trend is now something to seriously watch out for.

For the first time in a long time I guess we saw Manchester United having a fighting spirit once more coming from a 2 goals down to get a win with Rasmus Højlund getting his first ever Epl goal but the hard truth is that we know they can't continue with this form since they are among the most inconsistent club and this is proof that United as good quality players I guess they all lack winning mentality which has made them not to perform in the top level

Erik Ten Hag must be able to ensure that his players remain focused to continue to achieve victory in the upcoming matches because with their position in the standing, of course Manchester United must be consistent in order to penetrate the top 4 rankings. Of course this is a beautiful gift for Manchester united fans because they are able to win in the match this week or at the end of this year. something that can bring Manchester united players to bounce back after recording a win in today match.

Indeed, this is Hojlund first goal with Manchester United and I think he needs time to be able to open his scoring account because Hojlund has played in 15 matches and managed to score 1 goal, of course that is not a good enough record for him. Hojlund must be able to make a big contribution to continuing to score goals because he has quite a big burden as a player who can deliver victory if he regularly scores goals.

[TopT3ns]

It's really been an interesting and thrilling night for Manchester united in this match securing 2 goals in the space of 10 minutes and the third goal from Hojlund being his first goal of this season and in the EPL  the goal came at the most crucial time transpositioning Manchester united to take the lead to claim the whole 3 points of the match. No one saw this coming that a team that played so poorly could come back at the second have and secure three goals in a row to win the game. Aston villa has so much explaining to do to their fans on how they had to let go such opportunity to win this game at a platter of gold. Just as they say, in the game of football anything can happen. Congrats United for the comeback!

In the early minutes, Aston Villa were very serious and continued to attack Manchester United, hoping that Manchester United's defense would weaken. They managed to score two goals. Manchester United tried hard to penetrate Aston Villa's defense and were lucky in the final minutes that Rasmus Højlund managed to score a goal, and Manchester United managed to win this match. With this victory, Manchester United got additional points, allowing them to enter the top six of the standings.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Manchester United made an impressive move that surprised many spectators today, Manchester united gave a good fight in their match with aston villa, the visitors put up an impressive outplay in the beginning of the match, but unfortunately the couldn't maintain the lead film the end of the match, first half of this game was dominated by Aston villa and the dominance helped them to win the first half of the the match with 2:0, ordinarily, this first half result is suppose to give them a winning in the entire match but they failed to defend the goal and allowed Manchester United to bounce back, Manchester united was favoured in this match, I didn't see this coming, what an impressive performance by Manchester United, at least a little gap has been closed in respect to their league position.

The most important thing is hojlund has been finally scoring for manches united after very long time and glad to see that manchester united was having very impressive game against aston villa which was also making manchester united to climbing up.
I must admit that aston villa was really strong but garnacho has become the main solution for manchester united. I meant that if he is very useful for united this time. This si amazing performance from him and im not expecting him to score two goals. Glad to see that ten hag is always putting him as starting line up instead of rashford. Glad to see that manchester united got three points and this is very helpful for the club. Onana does nothing again in this match. He shall be thankful caused by onana was not being blamed caused by hojlund and garnacho has been helping him a lot.
This shall become the main concern for this time. I meant that if onana is always showing horrific performance in any matches. No doubt that mu needs to find a new goal keeper to replace and compete with him.
MU shall need to get a new goal keeper asap.

[pawel7777]

That's just the problem with Manchester united their inconsistency is affecting the team, I know the strength of Manchester united the team players are strong let's forget what's happening this season, the Manchester united we know will score more than 3goals I don't know what going on.
I could not believed my eyes when man utd won this match, excellent performance from Garnacho and the rest of the players, if man utd keeps getting better every match day it will be good for Ten Hang, the fans, no one is even bragging about the game the fans are just happy cause they have never experience such joy for a long time and the fact remains Man utd won Villa with a powerful comeback so am happy for the team if only they can maintain same energy throughout this season.

This game surely will be a great morale boost for the whole team and the fans. If you are to lose 2 goals, it's best when it happens early on, Villa relaxed a little bit too soon and Man U probably had their spirit damaged for a bit (the first goal denied as an offside didn't help either), but with plenty of time to recover, they managed to turn things around.
Let's see how they will perform against Nottingham Forrest on Saturday, and if they manage to keep high motivation against an "easy" opponent.

I'm even more interested in Liverpool in today match because they managed to lead the standings again after beating Burnley. Nunez scored a goal in the early minutes and closed with a goal from Jota in the final minute of the match. Aston Villa lost this match which means Liverpool is safely at the top of the standings and Liverpool certainly hopes that Arsenal can experience the same fate as Aston Villa in the match they will play. I think we have seen quite a big change in the Premier League this season because Manchester city fell out of the top 4 and that is something we might not have predicted at the start of the season.

If you look at Liverpool's performance, they are becoming more consistent in every match they play, there is even quite good improvement from players such as Nunez who is used to scoring goals and that is a good change for their progress this season. Arsenal will be able to overtake Liverpool if Arsenal can beat West Ham in the upcoming match, but for this reason, Liverpool should celebrate today victory because they managed to take over the leadership of the standings.

[boltz]

To be honest , I didn't have any faith in United to win or to win from being down 2-0 in 1st half and I must say I'm impressed not just by the way they won but most likely I'm impressed of how some players acted during the game and they had a winner mentality from 1st minute ( Bruno , Rashford , Garnacho and Højlund ) and that I think was the key to victory.

It was also nice to see Ten Hag finally having a decent day since he coached United and maybe this was a point of starting a new chapter for United with the presence of a new CEO.  

[bering]

Aston Villa was very impressive recently because they can able reach to 3rd place on league standings and because Manchester United has poor performance previously then i thought Aston Villa will going to win the match because before this match Aston Villa was successfully to beat big teams just like Manchester City and Arsenal but surprisingly Manchester United can displayed good performance and won this match

When Aston Villa leading the game with scores 2-0 at the first half i thought Aston Villa can able to win this match but surprisingly Manchester United can make an epic comeback and win the match and i think Ten Hag will be very satisfied with Manchester United players because Garnacho, Rashford or Højlund were performing well especially for Højlund that after spend 14 matches in premier league without goal then finally he has made his first goal with Manchester United today

[legendbtc]

That was unexpected, but Ten Hag saved his ass. Poor Emery couldn't do anything against this. Aston Villa thought they won the match but Højlund reminded them the game is 90 minutes. Good for him as well, first league goal at the exact right time!
Aston Villa could be the leader but they missed a great chance. Surely they will learn from this but now it's though for them to pick up where they left off. They have to make 4 wins in a row with that fixture but their morale would be pretty low after today.

MU players turned on the "save the teacher" mode at the right time and place despite being 2 goals ahead of bitter opponent Aston Villa. Despite having home field advantage, MU is still rated lower than Aston Villa. It was thought that after two quick defeats, MU would collapse, but the opposite happened. Erik ten Hag's students played with high spirit to create a spectacular comeback in the second half against Aston Villa. MU had an emotional comeback for fans on HOLIDAY. Garnacho scored a brace, and Rasmus Hojlund finally made his mark in the Premier League.
3 points at home helped MU temporarily rise to 6th with 31 points, 3 points behind Man City but having played 2 more matches than their opponent.

[Leviathan.007]

Bournemouth's rise continues.Bournemouth, who have not lost a game in the last 7 weeks, continue to perform in a way that will make you forget their bad run in the first weeks.Bournemouth played a good game against Fulham and took 3 points with 3 goals and extended their unbeaten streak for another week.
Liverpool continue to progress decisively in the championship.Liverpool, who defeated Burnley 2-0 away from home and did not give their opponent the opportunity to shoot, managed to take the lead from Arsenal with more than a match with this win.Liverpool, who managed to win the match with a good game by putting their weight throughout the match, continues to show that they are still one of the main protagonists of the race.

A big thanks to Jota as he came on to win the game for Liverpool.  Burnley tried to hold them do draw but they failed.  Elliot goal was cancelled esle it should have been three goals scored today.

Dominic Solanke has also been a sharp goalscorer for Bournemouth.  He should be in the best form of his career.  Seeing Manchester United working their way back to win is great. They should be up against Nottingham Forest who have seen  their first win under the manager Nuno Santos.
They did well against Newcastle today who lost three goals to one.. Newcastle also need to be checked up on.

Regarding the match between Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, It seems Newcastle is still an unstable team, and sometimes they lose the games against the teams we expect them to win, for example, Newcastle lost the match against Nottingham Forest with a 3-1 result and they can disappointing performance in this game while they scored the first goals from the penalty kick and they had more control over the game than Nottingham Forest.

Yes, at first I thought there was a display error when I saw the score 3-2 but it turns out that's the real score really impressive game from Manchester United today, Manchester United need to do things like this to continue to increase their confidence and slowly took its place in the standings. Now Manchester United in 6th place needs 5 more points to move up to the top 4 indeed, it is impossible to be there but of course there is still a chance. Manchester United's next opponent is Nottingham Forest, on paper Manchester United should be able to win but we know they are inconsistent so it is not certain whether they will win or lose Manchester United too often trap gamblers when betting on their side lol so no need to be too sure. By the way, in the next few days Aston Villa will drop to 4th place and Manchester City will replace because Aston Villa has missed points in the last 2 matches while Manchester City will continue to collect points, this is the best way before heading into a busy schedule next year in the Champions League.

[Amphenomenon]

For the first time in a long time I guess we saw Manchester United having a fighting spirit once more coming from a 2 goals down to get a win with Rasmus Højlund getting his first ever Epl goal but the hard truth is that we know they can't continue with this form since they are among the most inconsistent club and this is proof that United as good quality players I guess they all lack winning mentality which has made them not to perform in the top level

Hojlund must be able to make a big contribution to continuing to score goals because he has quite a big burden as a player who can deliver victory if he regularly scores goals.

You know nothing is actually changing, they played excellent well against Chelsea and Everton but looks what they did next, nothing is actually changing here.
I guess the best news is Rasmus Højlund scoring his first ever Epl goals and maybe this is the only consistency they will be seeing after this match.

[Slow death]

I don't know what the hell happened to Aston Villa, who even in the 1st half had already managed to score 2 goals and the 1st half ended with Aston Villa winning without Manchester United scoring a goal, it was almost certain that Aston Villa would come away with the victory in that game after they scored 2 goals, I highly doubt that anyone would have bet on Manchester United winning after Aston Villa scored 2 goals, but in the 2nd half it looked like Aston Villa had been given some kind of drug that made them stay dizzy, the guys simply weren't playing well anymore and Manchester United started to play very well, although Manchester United's goalkeeper wasn't playing well, Manchester United's defenders are to be congratulated, Manchester United's midfielders and attackers are Manchester United are also congratulations

but even with this victory, I am not convinced that this Manchester United squad and coach will be able to go far this season, after this season and in more seasons, and it is clear how the quality of the Manchester United squad is very low, it would be difficult for them to win the premier league with this squad, it would be difficult for them to win the European champions league with this squad. More realistically, they wouldn't be able to achieve successes with this current squad, not even in the European League. I don't know how far the optimism of Manchester United fans and management goes to the point where they don't see that they are at the bottom of the rock and that they need big changes, whenever they make a signing, they bring in the worst players and take away the good players, no I know what this team has that just makes senseless signings

As a Liverpool fan I feel very happy that this season we are fighting for the title, when I see Liverpool winning without conceding a goal and being at the top I am even happier, we need to return to the glory of winning the premier league and winning the European champions league too , if this season Liverpool can win the European League it would be a very good thing, it is true that the difference in points with Arsenal is not big, that is why being optimistic is not a good thing, if we had a difference of 9 or more points it would be something to celebrate, but in the premier league a difference of less than 3 points is nothing, and something that can easily be changed, and at this moment manchester city and arsenal are our biggest enemies

[TelolettOm]

Aston Villa winning streak was finally broken by Manchester United in today match. The match was full of emotion because I support Manchester united but they conceded 2 goals early which made me a little worried but in the end they were able to score 3 goals which made them seal the win at Old Trafford Stadium. Maybe this is the best performance by Manchester united this season where they were able to catch up with 2 goals and turn things around to 3-2.

Yes, Man United stopped the winning record of Aston Villa. Aston Villa destroyed Tottenham, Man City, and Arsenal but they couldn't destroy Man United. Man United can celebrate their winning, it is not easy to stop Aston Villa in their best form. Man United performance is impressive, they made a great come back in the match. Garnacho and Hojlund played very well today.

Aston Villa has been very strong recently and in fact they couldn't beat Manchester united. Previously, Aston villa managed to beat Manchester city and Tottenham, but in the match against Manchester united they made many mistakes in the second half which Manchester united could take advantage of to score goals.

Indeed. Aston Villa becomes a strong team this season, they killed the top teams in EPL (Tottenham, Man City, and Arsenal). Today, they are defeated by Man United, they missed 3 points to maintain their position in UCL zone. However, they are lucky that they are quite safe in the top 5. Aston Villa at least can finish in 5th place (Europa League zone).

Bournemouth's rise continues.Bournemouth, who have not lost a game in the last 7 weeks, continue to perform in a way that will make you forget their bad run in the first weeks.Bournemouth played a good game against Fulham and took 3 points with 3 goals and extended their unbeaten streak for another week.

A big thanks to Jota as he came on to win the game for Liverpool.  Burnley tried to hold them do draw but they failed.  Elliot goal was cancelled esle it should have been three goals scored today.

Dominic Solanke has also been a sharp goalscorer for Bournemouth.  He should be in the best form of his career.  Seeing Manchester United working their way back to win is great. They should be up against Nottingham Forest who have seen  their first win under the manager Nuno Santos.

It is not even an unstable team anymore but it looks so garbage team. Newcastle's performance was not representing it like it was a team owned by the billionaire. The coach is the main problem here and eddie howe needs to be sacked then get a better coach to replace him.
this is the only possible solution that can be raised by newcastle to solve the problem owned by the club. it's another horrible performance from newcastle caused by after it was losing against the worst team in the league then it's back to back losing against the team that was almost going down to the relegation zone. Newcastle is always playing the game emotionally. in addition, the team has lost chemistry and it seems like that isaak is the only player that was playing better than others.

Newcaslte will be going back to the bottom again if the club keeps showing horrible performance like this. Im not even thinking newcastle can compete at the top 4 this season. Eddie howe is still always using the monoton gameplay for newcastle which is very bad for the club.
This is also my main reason to say that if newcastle was performing so badly in the match against nottingham forest. Another garbage performance from newcastle.

iam not believe After winning 2- 0 first aston villa suffered a defeat at oldtraford. despite playing away aston villa's performance this season is outstanding. while manchester united the coach still cannot communicate well with his players which has the effect of poor performance. even in the champion league being in a weak group with fc coppenhagen and galatasaray was unable to qualify for the next phase even to the europa league was unable to qualify.
So after winning 2-0 to lose is a surprise

I am not sure if I have warned about this months ago, I can't recall it now but I remember how I thought about how difficult it will be for these top teams like Napoli or Newcastle to repeat their performance. To confirm that they now belong to Europe's top circle. But this is so difficult when a team plays a season that is impressive on all fronts, the probability that it gets worse from their peak is very high. In the case of Newcastle I thought about the reasons why they were doing so well last season and there are two reasons: one reason was that they did well, easy as that. The second reason was that many others teams did not do well. Now we have most of the favorites at the top again and this doesn't even count Manchester United and Chelsea. But in a normal world when all these teams perform at the upper spectrum of their potential, Newcastle is going to have a hard time and that is why I think they should have invested more money into the team. The timing would have been great for them after the result last season.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Astonishing recovery for United.

Ten Hag is safe, for now.

The come back by Man UTD was really impressive and I'm so happy that it had to be the only player who has been struggling in getting his first EPL goal and last night he did it. It's a shame that with all the good players Manchester United have they couldn't provide Hojlunda chances to get him goals for the team. We have the selfish Rashford who immediately lost form after signing a new contract, Anthony who forget he's form at Ajax and Bruno Fernandes who has lost his form due to constant complaining to everything that goes on in the pitch even if it doesn't concern him.
Like these guys can't support the player Hojlund but they decided to do things their own way and even the little Garnacho is doing the same with the coach losing his power over these set of players, it's so sad.
Well I don't see anything big going around the red devils but what we know is that they're going up gradually and if anyone thinks ETH is going to be sacked anytime soon I'd say is a lie because Man UTD are not yet done with him, the board sees him as the right person to bring that glorious days.

So after winning 2-0 to lose is a surprise

In the first half I thought Aston Villa could beat Manchester United until the end of the match at Old Trafford, because in the first half Manchester United trailed 0-2.
And I saw that in the first half Manchester United didn't play well, but in the second half Manchester United played very well and were also able to turn things around to change the score to 3-2 after Garnacho scored two goals. Rasmus Hojlund then completed Manchester United's comeback with a goal in the 82nd minute.
In my opinion, apart from communication, the problem that occurs at Manchester United is the unstable consistency of its performance. And when in several matches they improved, they declined again.

[Dickiy]

That's just the problem with Manchester united their inconsistency is affecting the team, I know the strength of Manchester united the team players are strong let's forget what's happening this season, the Manchester united we know will score more than 3goals I don't know what going on.
I could not believed my eyes when man utd won this match, excellent performance from Garnacho and the rest of the players, if man utd keeps getting better every match day it will be good for Ten Hang, the fans, no one is even bragging about the game the fans are just happy cause they have never experience such joy for a long time and the fact remains Man utd won Villa with a powerful comeback so am happy for the team if only they can maintain same energy throughout this season.

Yes, at first I thought there was a display error when I saw the score 3-2 but it turns out that's the real score really impressive game from Manchester United today, Manchester United need to do things like this to continue to increase their confidence and slowly took its place in the standings. Now Manchester United in 6th place needs 5 more points to move up to the top 4 indeed, it is impossible to be there but of course there is still a chance.

I admit that this match was certainly beyond many people expectations because Man United managed to emerge as the winner. even though Aston Villa have been very aggressive this season with  some good performances, it seems like we are quite confident of being able to overcome Man United game. on the other hand things turned around and this  result certainly gave the  Man United players a little hope especially Hojlund whose goal was his first  goal in the Premier League after playing  for Man United for so long.

There are many matches that are still open so if you want to be in the top 4 you have  to maximize performances like this consistently. It's just that Erik Ten Hag cannot be satisfied just yet. This season many matches have  been wasted due to unstable playing  conditions.
