Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bbigtart]

So many people would say it's pretty too early to start predicting who is gonna win the title, but I think the race is already on and arsenal have started showing the same signs they showed last season and how incapable they can be whenever it comes to taking responsibility, I mean how can a team that is contending for the league title be loosing games at home and not even putting in a fight or at least snatching a point, this in not good for arsenal and they have to brace up immediately before things gets really messy for them.

Arsenal all along has looked like they are going to win the title with little to almost no stress but in recent times I see them loosing form and their performance is gradually dropping so I at this point doubt their abilities in winning the title this season and it's already looki like they are about to repeat that which happened last season again.

Liverpool is currently at the top of the standing with good point and at same time their form still looks very much intact amd not like they are dropping form anytime soon so they currently look more promising at the title, although one would wan to say Manchester city too is a potential contender for the title but they they have got a more competitive league which is take a good part of their attention the gunners need to quickly see a way to improve their performance els it's another season the cup will elude them.

In my opinion, if we give a 50-50 percentage for Man City and Liverpool to win the EPL title this season. As usual, Arsenal is enlivening the league, not enlivening the competition for the league title.

Arsenal's disease from the time of Arsen Wenger until now has always been the same every year, at the start of the season they were strong, then in the middle to the end of the season they became sluggish.

Yes that's right. It is said that Arsenal did not learn from last season's blunders, it is still fortunate that Man City is less consistent this season, even if Man City is not able to catch first place, I am sure Liverpool will win. I see that Arsenal needs players who have strong leadership characteristics in the team and Arsenal must bring in a pure striker.

[Jossque]

Both Arsenal and Tottenham were defeated against their opponents.
Starting with Totthenham, Totthenham had a poor game.Totthenham were 2-0 down at half time and were 4-0 down after 75 minutes but scored their goals in the last 10 minutes.Overall Brighton had the better of the chances.
Arsenal, on the other hand, made an incredible effort against West Ham but couldn't get what they wanted.West Ham started the match fast and scored in the 13th minute.Although the first half ended with this goal, Arsenal put up a good fight in the first half.In the second half, West Ham brought the score to 2-0 in the 55th minute.Arsenal, who played dominant throughout the match, couldn't take advantage of the positions.West Ham didn't even have a position to score a goal except for the positions where they scored.Arsenal deserved to win in this match but couldn't do it.

Arsenal and Tottenham both had to give up in the end to admit defeat. All their plans did not go smoothly because the opposing team led the match until the end. Tottenham performed poorly with several attempts, but Arsenal, who performed well, also failed. To be honest, I was surprised by the results of these two matches, that's because I felt confident that Tottenham and Arsenal both deserved to win their respective matches.

As a result, Liverpool leads the Premier League standings with a 2 point advantage over Arsenal. Then from that, Aston Villa started to find Arsenal under threat because the point gap between the two is now only 1 point. Manchester City will also pose a good threat if they are able to maintain their performance. Pep Guardiola has the opportunity to move Arsenal to third place if in the next match Manchester City can beat Sheffield, so this will be a danger sign for Arsenal.

The race for the championship is going to be very close and exciting.Some of the teams drop points at unexpected times and it changes everything.Today we saw that Arsenal lost 3 points at home, which is sad for them and I see it as a heavy loss on the way to the championship. They could have won this game, they played very well but they didn't get the result.They outplayed their opponents but they had a big problem today in finding goals.They need to solve this as soon as possible because we saw once again that it's not the one who plays very well but the one who scores the goal that wins.As such, West Ham united were the winners away from home.

[Iranus]

Manchester City will host Sheffield United at home.I don't expect it to be a tough game for City.They will win comfortably as they will be playing at home, but if this game was away they would have won even if it was difficult.Maybe we can say that Manchester City has the easiest game this week among the teams among the title candidates.
Aston Villa will host Burnley.Aston Villa lost to United after a long time and got acquainted with the defeat again.This match may have affected them, but I still don't expect them to lose against Burnley.At worst, the match could end in a draw.In addition, Aston Villa, who have scored in all of their last 10 matches, will not have difficulty in finding goals in this match.

Sheffield United is not a tough opponent for a big team like Manchester City. The last team in the points table is Sheffield United. However, despite Sheffield United's poor performance, this team performed well against big teams like Aston Villa a few days ago and drew the match 1-1. And so if Manchester City make any mistake in this match then they are likely to lose points. City must play carefully from the start of the match. It will not be easy for Manchester City to get 3 points if Sheffield United players score the first goal of the match.

Aston Villa team is not in good form right now. In the last two matches against Sheffield United and Manchester United, they did not play well and dropped points. Even though Burnley is a weak team, it is not certain whether Aston Villa will win.

Arsenal could not hold Westham to a draw less a win for them. Arsenal will remain in second place below Liverpool who are topping the table now. It was a game well played by Arsenal but were just unlucky not to have scored any goal in all the 90 minutes of play. West Ham had their chances and they were able to convert them to goals instantly. West Ham will remain on 6th position and continue their fight for the top four of the table. The table and point difference from number three to six looks so tight and anything can happen at anytime.

The whole top 6 looks very tight there in general, it's almost unrealistic to guess who will win this season. Liverpool are going well so far and are deservedly at the top of the table, so I have no complaints about them. For arsenal it was just a bad match, there's no other way to put it

That right, the competition will be even tighter if Man United and Chelsea return to the European zone. I think with a very narrow point difference, opportunities for changes in position in the standings will continue to occur, most likely even until the end of the season. Losing points in just one game will have a big impact on a significant change in position, neither team is completely comfortable in their current position.

Man City has found its rhythm again in securing full points, especially as it is reported that key player De Bruyne is ready to appear again. This is a real threat to Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa, I think if these three teams fail to maintain their concentration then Pep will bring City back to take over the top of the standings.

The transfer market will open soon, we will see the rumors that previously developed come to fruition. I hope United and Chelsea can move actively in this transfer window, because they look like mediocre clubs this season, maybe by recruiting new players these two clubs can be more consistent in securing points in the second half of the season.

[kawetsriyanto]

West Ham is leading with 1 goal now. It is very possible to see another surprise today. However, I still believe in the capability of Arteta and Arsenal players. I don't expect that Arsenal to lose points at a home match. They should score goals and win the match today. 3 points is important to keep the hope of winning the title this season.

I know that Arsenal could find it difficult to win against Westham because of the recent form of Westham in the Premier League. All hope is not lost for Arsenal, but if Arsenal fails to equalize Westham in the first half, it could be more difficult for Arsenal to beat Westham in the second half.

It was really surprising to see the final result of the West Ham vs Arsenal match where Arsenal finally had to admit their opponent's superiority. 0 - 2 is a result that really makes us surprised, because after all, Arsenal competed quite well and definitely dominated. In fact, Arsenal really put pressure on their opponents with many attacks in their defensive area. Not only that, various attacks on shots against West Ham's goal have also been carried out and are quite challenging, but it must be admitted, West Ham's defense this time is truly extraordinary. I personally really appreciate West Ham's success this time, apart from the disappointment with Arsenal, which we could say was quite a failure. West Ham were really able to optimize their very small chances, Arsenal were quite careless in their defense and West Ham's attacking players were able to make very effective attacks. This is certainly a very valuable lesson for Arsenal in the future. The effectiveness and accuracy of attacks must continue to be improved in order to return to first position. And in the end, congratulations also to Liverpool who were finally able to take over Arsenal's position at the top standing of the EPL.

Sheffield United is not a tough opponent for a big team like Manchester City. The last team in the points table is Sheffield United. However, despite Sheffield United's poor performance, this team performed well against big teams like Aston Villa a few days ago and drew the match 1-1. And so if Manchester City make any mistake in this match then they are likely to lose points. City must play carefully from the start of the match. It will not be easy for Manchester City to get 3 points if Sheffield United players score the first goal of the match.

Man City is likely to grab 3 points, even though their performance seems a bit shaky right now. Despite facing a team that's even more unstable, City is still considered the favorite. The champion mentality of Man City is strong, and although they've had a rough patch recently with only 2 wins in the last 5 EPL matches, their overall strength is notable.

It's unclear whether this is a strategy to secure the end of the season and launch a counter-attack against Liverpool, or if it's a well-thought-out plan by Man City to maximize their performance in every ongoing competition. Last season, Pep managed to achieve the Treble Winner, and this season, the opportunity is still within reach.

I'm pretty confident in betting on Man City's victory, even if the odds from bookies aren't that high.

[letteredhub]

palace ate playing like a troubled team they are not settled with the ball and it's making Chelsea play as if they are too good with the ball as Chelsea are always rushing them to gain much possession of the ball, though Chelsea later seem to be relaxed after scoring their goal.  Crystal palace all they have to do is to change the pattern of their game add a little confidence in holding the ball and making calm passes. With a 1:1 scoreline in the first half the chances are that crystal palace can make it through in getting more goals in the second half.

I watched the first half until the end and honestly Chelsea's game was very good and they deserved to close the first half with a win. But unfortunately, Chelsea conceded at the end of the first half by Michael Olise who was standing free without a guard in Chelsea's defense. Chelsea dominated the match, but it was a shame because they really wasted several good opportunities to increase their lead due to poor finishing. The temporary score is 1-1, but it looks like Chelsea can still win this match in the end.

When you are playing against team that's worst in form than you whatever less performance you are putting in the game will appear to be a good performance and this is exactly the what the Chelsea game against crystal palace was. There was no difference between what Chelsea played in other games they lost to the game against Crystal Palace. Poor tackling's, lack of passing accuracy,  and failing to make use of goal chances to achieve points in a match. At the end though they won the game 2:1 but it was out of a lucky outcome. All what am saying is that Chelsea as a team an improvement in the team should be consistent where they have to play in a current match much better than they did in previous giving us the fans an exciting result.

Liverpool is definitely in the title race, what i like most about their title charge this season is how they have gone about it with little to no noise, at the start of the season everyone was looking at City and Arsenal only, and too many people were not giving Liverpool a chance at the title, maybe because of how bad they were last season. Having said that, Liverpool have proved that they can still challenge for the title, and yes they can win it, though imo City are my favorites to win the title and Liverpool would come second.

Liverpool in the tittle race position right now behind lead top standings position two points left from Arsenal but need consistency until the end of matches how possibility Liverpool can stop Manchester City dominance winning Premier League tittle last several years. Until matchday 19 have many teams in tittle race not only Liverpool but also have Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur with not many points left from each teams.
But depend which one have stable performance and keep consistency in the winning trend get chance for winning premier league tittle in this season with usually Manchester City always win on many crucial match exactly last season success defeated Arsenal manager top standings more longer time.

Changes in strategy and having aggressive approach bring Liverpool to this level, and they have good chance for the win with still it's very long way to go because we have good improvement in few other teams which can steal the show near the end of this season as we have history in Premier League nothing is sure until last match played Arsenal is also improved from their last year's performance, and they can also jump again after having few bad weeks with Manchester City is also at their best and back in business which is giving them still one of the hot favourite tag.

Aston Villa and Tottenham are also fairly in as they are giving good performance even they are having not enough quality like top three but Liverpool and Manchester City could be at the another level, and we can't give any better prediction about winner with still we have 20 rounds to go which is really enough time for having too many changes.

Liverpool is currently at the top of the standing with good point and at same time their form still looks very much intact amd not like they are dropping form anytime soon so they currently look more promising at the title, although one would wan to say Manchester city too is a potential contender for the title but they they have got a more competitive league which is take a good part of their attention the gunners need to quickly see a way to improve their performance els it's another season the cup will elude them.

Arsenal is like a club that has been hit by a curse, at important moments Arteta squad often loses points. wasted opportunities, and overall I agree with you that Arsenal doesn't seem to have learned much from last season's mistakes. I think a player mentality also has a big influence in overcoming challenges, Arteta must emphasize this side to be able to continue competing for the EPL trophy.

Liverpool is a more consistent team at the moment than any other team, but Jurgen Klopp squad must be careful in the current competition, because Manchester City have shown signs of their revival. The narrow difference in points means the risk of being overtaken is greater, and we know that Pep and his troops still have one match postponed, Arsenal and Aston Villa positions could be automatically ousted if Manchester City gets an additional 3 points.

Arsenal and Tottenham both had to give up in the end to admit defeat. All their plans did not go smoothly because the opposing team led the match until the end. Tottenham performed poorly with several attempts, but Arsenal, who performed well, also failed.

Pep Guardiola has the opportunity to move Arsenal to third place if in the next match Manchester City can beat Sheffield, so this will be a danger sign for Arsenal.

I was also surprised to see the results of the match and the performance of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, I didn't expect to lose this Sunday. This is an English league football game where an unseeded team can destroy a team that already has a big name, at least for Liverpool to breathe a sigh of relief over Arsenal's defeat even though their point difference is not too far from the others. There will always be a chance for all teams to win the league this year.

[sana54210]

I can't imagine Arsenal losing this match. I thought I was going to see Arsenal win. Arsenal players tried a lot to score. The entire match was dominated by Arsenal players, but they failed to win. Arsenal players had 74% of the ball possession. They made 30 shots in the whole match. Arsenal played completely attacking. They cannot keep their defense strong. West Ham attacked very little. But Arsenal's players failed to resist West Ham's counterattacks. And this is why they are defeated. Coach Arteta needs to strengthen his defense. Otherwise, it will not be possible for Arsenal to win the title.

I don't think Arsenal is ready yet this season, Arteta needs to make improvements to his team if they want to win the title, as their current performance which includes not scoring a goal won't get them far. Arsenal is set to lose another trophy this season. They play the entire game, but West Ham is the only team scoring. I disagree with anyone who predicted that West Ham would defeat Arsenal. My expectation was that Arsenal would win because they need the three points to get back the top spot in the league, but they are unable to defend their home. If West Ham not missed the penalty, the score would have ended in a 3:0 defeat for Arsenal. Liverpool is still leading the league right now.

Since Arsenal lost to West Ham at home, I believe that Manchester City still has a chance to win the league title this season. My initial thought was that, with new players joining the team, this season would be different from last season in that Manchester City would struggle to return to the top, but Arsenal still lost to earn three points.

I think it’s safe to say Arsenal aren’t ready to challenge for the EPL title this season. If you don't score you don't win games simple. Sometimes I feel Arteta is trying to prove a point. He’s trying the impose his tactics on everybody, and he’s ready to keep pushing it till it works out.. he’s not ready to change it for anybody or anything.
I think yesterday was not the first time Arsenal conceded first and lost, it's not about the players now, its Arteta.

Newcastle scored first
Aston Villa scored first

They only pass, pass, pass with no direction, no plan B, just pass to Marinelli or Saka and thats all.
Honestly, they can’t keep doing same thing every time and expect different result. Teams have found them out.
They need fresh legs and new tactics.  I think some member of the cosching crew reach their peak already. They shouid go for new course.

Arteta has made this team quite well if you think about it. I mean they weren't that good before him, and he is trying to do as well as possible, we are seeing them being second last season and they were almost win, and we are talking about them trying to win it this season as well, maybe they could still lose but they are trying to win as well. This is why I think that it is going to be important thing to handle. I think that should be the most important part of the situation without doubt.

I hope that we are going to see them win one and that would be lovely for them, god knows when was the last time they won one, and I think they really deserve it as a club, they have done so well for so many times and they ended up losing anyway, it should be noted that they really do deserve it this season. Even if they don't end up getting this season, that's fine, as long as we end up with their win in the next 2 years or so with Arteta, that would be very good.

I think a player mentality also has a big influence in overcoming challenges, Arteta must emphasize this side to be able to continue competing for the EPL trophy.

Arsenal is such a big team right now, many people expect a lot from them that any time they lose their game it becomes a very big topic and people exaggerate it a lot to make it look like they have failed. I don't think it is abnormal for them to lose a few games especially when it is a against a very good opponent like West Ham who we know can be a turn on the flesh of bigger teams. If Arsenal had lost to the bottom three teams, I would see it as abig fail, but West Ham is not a bad team. Liverpool comfortably proceeed to next year as first on the league.

[Mayor of ogba]

I was initially confident in Arsenal before the match started saying the Gunners would definitely win because this was playing at home, unfortunately this did not become the desired expectation even though of course I bet Arsenal but the results were disappointing at the hands of West Ham.

Arsenal squad could not score at all, Arsenal did seem to continue to attack, it's just that their attacks were often thwarted by opponents West Ham goalkeeper did a good job making it difficult for Arsenal.

I bet on a multi bet between Arsenal and Tottenham, but both lost. Lol

This match is quite upsetting to remember because seeing from what Arsenal showed in this match, their dominance was actually very crazy but in the end it was also unable to make them get 3 points even with the ball possession and the many opportunities they had.
West Ham played very well in defense but actually if you look at what happened 2 goals scored by West Ham I think it can be minimized by Arsenal actually but with problems about communication that is not very good precisely this makes the situation of Arsenal not very profitable even though they are favorites in this match.



The unlucky thing is that my multi bet had to end in the last match which I expected actually to be better even though it was a good momentum especially after getting crucial wins from Chelsea and Manchester United bets but Arsenal disappointed me this week.

You made a very nice collection in your bet and even took a big risk in playing Manchester United and Chelsea to beat their opponent. One would think that Manchester United or Chelsea would cut the bet not knowing Arsenal is the club that will cut the bet.

The winner this season seems difficult to predict and I still can't believe Liverpool will win the tittle this season until I see that with my eyes I will not just predict cause anything can happen for example same thing happened to Arsenal last season, I don't really think Liverpool will be that foolish to hand over so quickly, talking about their recent fixtures they will have to battle with Newcastle, Arsenal, Fulham, if they manage to win all matches under probability then we should be expecting a win for the title this season, Manchester city at the other hand seems to be improving, if Manchester city manage to return back then the competition this season will be so tough even with Arsenal previous performance shows they're ready despite West Ham managed to score due to poor defence I still think if Arsenal can have a good striker they're good to go, from yesterday's result total shots from Arsenal 30 compared to West Ham 6 shots.

[GbitG]

Yesterday results made Liverpool to sit comfortable in the first position because, Arsenal lose to their opponent in their home that gave Liverpool opportunity to be in the eye of people the team that will win this trophy this season if Arsenal miss it again.

How is Liverpool sitting comfortably in first position when they are just ahead of Arsenal, which is in second position with just two points? Any slight mistake by Liverpool will drop them from their current first position, so I won't say they are sitting confidently in first position. Let's see how they perform in their coming matches.

Yeah, obviously bro, there is one point that could decide the league: who will be 1st or who will be 2nd, which is on February 4, 2024. This match will show that Liverpool is not sitting in its comfort zone. They still have a bunch of hurdles, I mean for Liverpool, that still there are still concerns for him about the league table, despite It is true that Arsenal lost their previous match, but on February 4, there is a possibility for Arsenal to put down the Liverpool to the second place in league table. So I mean to say that you explain it well that's Liverpool is not put himself in the safe zone there are still chance for Arsenal to get back the 1st place in league table and moreover that if both of them will be good I mean hold up the first place or second place so on 4 February there will be decided for both of them that which one Arsenal or Liverpool will be the champions of the league table i table 1st place.

Arsenal is such a big team right now, many people expect a lot from them that any time they lose their game it becomes a very big topic and people exaggerate it a lot to make it look like they have failed. I don't think it is abnormal for them to lose a few games especially when it is a against a very good opponent like West Ham who we know can be a turn on the flesh of bigger teams. If Arsenal had lost to the bottom three teams, I would see it as abig fail, but West Ham is not a bad team. Liverpool comfortably proceeed to next year as first on the league.

Competition in the Premier League is so tight that any team can be beaten but this time it looked strange because Arsenal as one of the strongest teams was defeated at home even though previously we knew that Arsenal were very difficult to beat when playing at home. This defeat certainly concerns us all because we don't want Liverpool to be without competitors we want to see competition like last season every club struggled until the last season. If Arsenal have been beaten this week then let's wait to see if Liverpool also get a defeat in the next match, usually both teams do the same pattern we don't know if it's a coincidence. Now Liverpool is quite safe with a difference of 2 points.

[QueenVera]

Arsenal defeat against West Ham did not put Arsenal out of the title race this season, I am sure Arteta has learned from last season's failure. Arsenal is only two points behind Liverpool, there is still a big possibility for Arsenal to return to the top of the standings because there are still so many matches that have not been completed. A defeat like this is very normal and can happen to any team, it is very difficult to finish the entire match without losing, sometimes results like this are needed so that the coach can continue to learn from the defeats his team experiences.

If measured in terms of points scored, Arsenal's performance is better than Manchester City. The defeat against West Ham was very painful for Arsenal because they failed to return to the top of the standings, but this defeat was not the end for Arsenal because they could make up for their mistake by winning in the next match.

Arsenal’s defeat didn’t put them off the title race rather opened up the race for the likes of City and the top 4 slot for Spurs and Man United to get in the race. Yes the defeat was needed and I think it came in at the best time, so that the coach can see his flaws and know how to tract the best out of this team, and I hope he discovers that quickly so as to avoid more losses that would make them drop down the table.

 This is key especially as opposition teams will be getting most of their injured players back from injury. This will make the chase for the title open and interesting. Bringing more views for the fans, clubs and the league as a whole.There’s sure a huge time to make up for the defeat but while on the bid to makeup, they would have to try to avoid a repetition of this defeat else it’ll spell doom for their title chase this season.

Arsenal is like a club that has been hit by a curse, at important moments Arteta squad often loses points. wasted opportunities, and overall I agree with you that Arsenal doesn't seem to have learned much from last season's mistakes. I think a player mentality also has a big influence in overcoming challenges, Arteta must emphasize this side to be able to continue competing for the EPL trophy.

Arsenal did not get cursed, but they were unlucky with the many opportunities they created during the match against West Ham. Things like this cannot be avoided for long even though Arsenal, as the favorites, fired 30 shots and 8 of them were on target. Arsenal had 10 corners, compared to West Ham's 3, meaning Arsenal completely dominated the match without failing to score. Meanwhile West Ham were lucky with the 2 goals they scored and amazingly they were able to maintain their lead until the end.

So I don't fully agree when someone describes Arsenal as too bad in terms of their game. In my opinion, Arsenal was just unlucky, just like when Manchester City were forced to draw against Crystal Palace some time ago.

Liverpool is a more consistent team at the moment than any other team, but Jurgen Klopp squad must be careful in the current competition, because Manchester City have shown signs of their revival. The narrow difference in points means the risk of being overtaken is greater, and we know that Pep and his troops still have one match postponed, Arsenal and Aston Villa positions could be automatically ousted if Manchester City gets an additional 3 points.

Yes, Liverpool have been consistent so far and look like a convincing team to win the title this season. But wait, they have an important game at January 2, against Newcastle, so wait and see if they really deserve to lead the standings and are able to maintain their consistency.

Both Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are back running on the pitch and grass but Pep Guardiola has decided not to rush them back into the squad immediately.
I read and saw them return during that game before the finals they won. I think he's doing the right thing since they're both two important players for him and for the squad.

Let's see if he can go back on top since all clubs have decided to fumble when it mattered most. Arsenal in particular, I don't have much to say about them.

I am quite sure that Guardiola knows how much he needs De Bruyne and Haaland in the best condition possible for all the games that are to be played in the near future. I guess he didn't want them on the pitch during the boxing days and immediately make them go at full pace. He will take his time with them as he knows the titles are not to be won these days.

But De Bruyne isn't an easy case as he has had a complicated injury that can potentially break out again as it has before. But now they are used to playing without De Bruyne already, although I think it was impossible to overlook that De Bruyne was the missing piece of the puzzle in their game. It's quite a huge disadvantage if they have to play without him.
