Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Weawant]

Manchester city is definitely going to win Sheffield without stress and I can tell from their performance so far that Sheffield may end up without a goal by the end of this match as Manchester city continually dominates the whole game keeping Sheffield at their 18 yard box and having only but a few chances to get to the midfield.

Sheffield is playing a very defensive tactics withe hopes of possible break outs on a counter attack to getting a goal but then Manchester city is already two goals ahead so I doubt if they will be able to get up to two opportunities of counter attack to getting an equalizer because I don't see them attempting to win this game , Sheffield almost had an early goal but the Manchester city keeper was smart enough to hold the ball outside the touch line, anyways I wasn't expecting any less from Manchester city against a club as this which can be considered weak.

Yes, it's true that Guardiola should try to play KDB just to warm up in the second half, at least play to see whether by playing KDB there is a change in Manchester City's game which seemed to have played badly in the previous few matches. If there is a change in the game it should be a correction, that's true. Manchester City really needs KDB in the main squad because without him they don't play as well as last season.

I'm still watching this match even though it has won 1 - 0 but there is still a chance for Sheff Utd to retaliate because Manchester City often concedes goals to weak clubs. That's why Guardiola must pay attention to Manchester City's defensive side which sometimes often creates gaps for opponents. score a goal. I hope the full three points can be obtained today.

Manchester City are still trying to find a way to get a big win in this match, after Rodri scored a goal in the 14th minute, they needed 47 minutes to double their lead to 2-0. Actually, this match was very easy for Manchester City, Guardiola didn't want to take the risk by immediately playing De Bruyne who has just recovered from injury.
Guardiola has included his name in the Manchester City squad, his presence is good news for fans because one of the key players can play again. Maybe De Bruyne will be played towards the last game or not at all, it all depends on Guardiola because he knows what is best for his team.

Interesting that you are so convinced of Chelsea winning against Luton Town. In the last 3 games Luton Town lost 1-2 vs. Manchester City, then they defeated Newcastle 1-0 and won away from home against Sheffield United. Since Chelsea isn't the big club it was in the past, I think this game is probably not as one sided as you may expect it to be. Chelsea has lost more games so far than they have won. They got defeated 8 times already.

I know that maybe Chelsea won't win easily against Luton even though the club is weak at the bottom of the points table but that doesn't mean it can be underestimated because Luton defense is actually very strong, it's just that the club doesn't have high consistency and I think the club is from the bottom of the points table. like this can give us all a surprise and for me there are only 2 choices in this match, either Chelsea win or draw.
What I know that Luton can always be very strong when playing at home, as you said, Luton is always more aggressive when playing at home, while chelsea always has a decline in performance when playing away because the club still in an unstable condition.

If Luton Town played defensively, maybe it would not have been so easy for Chelsea to score. Luton Town were very confident in their home match. And the Luton Town team played completely attacking strategy in this match. They made a lot of attacks in this match. I would say they attack more than Chelsea. This is why Luton's defense was a little weak. Chelsea players have used this opportunity very well. They managed some brilliant counter-attacks and Chelsea went 3-0 up in the 80th minute. However, Chelsea conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes and the match ended 3-2. I would say Chelsea coach should strengthen their defense. Otherwise, Chelsea will not be able to win against the big teams.

[X-ray]

Man City seemed to have prepared everything very neatly, when several lags were experienced they were able to survive a little so as not to fall too far into the position. Now the return of several  important players will provide additional strength in closing the gap with the teams at the top. Because currently there is instability occurring Aston Villa is starting to lose fuel to continue extending the positive trend and Arsenal has just been beaten by West Ham United without being able to put up a fight.  Maybe now Liverpool is worthy enough to  compete with Man City and prove who won the trophy.

manchester city will be going up again even with the secondary squad caused by some players were injured. Alvarez is still showing if he can be considered as a worthy striker for the club too. His performance is just very amazing to see that. There is no doubt that people are beginning to praise his performance, especially since he has been ordered to replace Haaland, who will be missing some matches due to an injury. Im very happy to see that alvarez is showing he is truly a world class striker. Pep seldom deployed him in the striker position, yet he consistently demonstrates outstanding performance. Arsenal was missing so numerous chances and gunner has been trying so hard to equalize the game or at least get another point but it keeps failed. Arteta needs to evaluate the performance of its club.
The main weakness of arsenal was a defensive strategy. It puts arsenal to gamble that involved very high risk caused by the club potentially received direct counter attack from its opponent.

Chelsea got another win showing great resiliency as they are finishing the year in great form.The game was beautiful to watch and entertaining as both teams played carefree beautiful football and quite some goals were scored from both teams.I am  quite interesting to see how Manchester City will react to this back to back lost games as they are facing quite an easy opponent at home as Sheffield United and they have not scored as of yet.The other games are not of a great interest as middle teams are facing each other in most of those games.

Chelsea were lucky to win and didn’t show any resilience, they played woefully in the second half and almost bottled a 3 goal lead. It is a poor performance in my opinion and I wouldn’t say they end the year in great form, they need to step up their game because i think their performance is depreciating with time because few months back this is not how Chelsea played, even while losing they are more in control and are well coordinated but that’s not the case now.

The match was super interesting and both fans enjoyed it, Luton gave it their all and tried to fight their way back but in the end they couldn’t. Despite losing at home they need to be applauded for a wonderful performance despite going 3 goals down. It’s their mentality for me, “It’s not over until it’s over”.

Chelsea were so lucky to have won Luton because with the kind of pressure that Luton came with in the second half they would have equalized the goals if not for Elijah Adebayo's disallowed goal and his cross bar header, Luton deserve some accolade in this game as they were so determined despite the fact that they were already 3:0 down before Ross Barkley header in the 80th minute that made the goal 3:1. Cole Palmer of Chelsea also did a great Job as he scored a brace in the first half and second half respectively. Luton town seems to be very active in the second half as Elijah Adebayo have made the goals to be 2:3, I love Luton town pattern of play as the wingers always crosses the ball to the 18 yard box for a header. The game is ended and the score remains 2:3. I will just define Chelsea winning this game as luck because Luton town almost leveled all the goals but however, Chelsea won.

Chelsea won but it wasn't a fantastic win they could boost off for me. How can they lead by 3 goals and allow Luton to score 2 goals against them between the stoppage time of 10 minutes?
Chelsea not being able to comfortably secure a victory against their opponent without them conceding goals is the major problem I find in the Chelsea team that Pochettino needs to resolve. If more time had been given, the match between Luton and Chelsea would have ended in draw.

I think manchester city struggled against the bottom team of the relegation zone shefield united, because the main striker erling haland was injured so he could not play.
I think Manchester City needs to buy a sharp 1st class striker to cover Erling Haland, even though there is already Julian Alvares.
because when erling haland was injured manchester city had difficulty producing goals

Chelsea won with narrow points and they're still 10th position on the table. The interests and significant odds are build on City ground because they're definitely not going to struggle and obtaining three points become very important for them. The match already becoming pressuring from City towards the visitors. Sheffield United losing and having zero ball possession against an elite side doesn't make any sense to me, they're suppose to be in a position of fighting and trying harder to win matches. The match kickoff and it's 1-0 with lead coming from Manchester City.

Even if Chelsea won this match, they could not dominate the match. At the same time, the weakness of Chelsea's defense was very well realized. Luton Town's players were confident and created plenty of attacking opportunities. If Chelsea's players were able to dominate the match, Luton Town would not have been able to attack so much. However, Chelsea managed to get 3 points in the end which is good news for Chelsea fans. However, Chelsea's performance needs to improve. If such a performance, the Chelsea team will not be able to place in the top 6 of the points table.

I also observed same thing from the match and winning today don't just mean they're back, just like the Arsenal vs West Ham and still with the pressure Arsenal gave West Ham managed to score two goals, sometimes we can't just tell how football works, Chelsea managed to gain 3 points today but their defense was very poor and they should improve, even with the present win throughout this week table might still turn around next week so I can't say Chelsea will dominate seeing their present fixtures, all they have to do is to come prepared.

Aston Villa  3 - 2  Burnley

Aston Villa vs Burnley match was very competitive. Even though it was an away match for Burnley, they played very well in this match. At the same time, the decline in Aston Villa's performance is well understood.

Aston Villa have dropped points in their last two matches. Because of this they cannot go to the top of the table. A win in today's match was essential for Villa to stay in the top four of the table. Aston Villa scored their first goal in the 28th minute. But Burnley equalized in just 2 minutes. However, at the end of the first half, Villa was leading 2-1.
After Berge's red card at the start of the second half, it became difficult for Burnley to perform well in the match. However, Burnley tied the game 2-2 with Foster's goal in the 71st minute. But Aston Villa were very lucky. After scoring from the penalty spot in the 89th minute, they took a 3-2 lead and secured a full 3 points from the match.

There is nothing Sheffield can do now against Manchester City. Rodri opened the game after only 14 minutes, assisted by Foden. The funny thing is that Manchester City has excellent players, which is why everyone was wondering what was wrong with them, but it appears as if they are already getting back in the game. And if DeBrune returns now, they will gain more motivation from him, so don't be surprised to see them climbing. Manchester City wants to use Sheffield to send a message to people in the premier league and it does not make any difference with what is currently happening so congratulations on their winning Sheffield, and from the stats, they did not even give them breathing space from shots on target to ball procession.

Chelsea was almost losing three points. Luton played so aggresively at the end of match and it makes chelsea might have played fully defensive against luton. Im noticing that if chelsea defenders lack of experience to deal in the air.
It can be seen from how none prevented adebayo to heading the ball after he has received crossing from his team mate. Chelsea was almost bottling it and this is really bad for the club. The defensive line should become the main problem owned by chelsea.


Throughout the first half, the club displayed consistent performance on the field, however, an unfortunate turn of events occurred as they conceded two goals, which can be described as extremely disappointing. I thought that chelsea will be getting cleansheet against luton but i was wrong.
At least it was winning even with a narrow score. In addition to everyone else, the bettors are also feeling incredibly happy with the result of this match. manchester city is also get the job done perfectly. Despite Alvarez scoring, the team still ended up with a cleansheet in that game.
There will be a very interesting match to come soon and it will be manchester united.

[bitzizzix]

Manchester United must be able to take advantage of the important match against Nottingham Forest to be in 6th place in the standings, because Manchester United has a very good record in 5 matches against Nottingham Forest, and Nottingham Forest has never won against Manchester United.
However, Manchester United also have to be careful and alert because Nottingham Forest is showing signs of revival with its new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and they just beat Newcastle at home with a landslide score of 1-3 and that was a surprise.

Manchester city had their struggles in the game, it's so obvious to notice that haaland is not in the game, and one mistake pep guardiola is making is to build a team around a single player, I'm happy Calvin de bruyne is hopeful of coming back to the team any moment from now, maybe he can help stir the wheels of this obvious lacuna in this Manchester city squad, phil foden has been really impressive with his performance, because he has been creating chances with his style of play, however is still obvious that there is something lacking in the Manchester City squad and their winning has not been too confidential like is always used to be, in all it a good win for the citizens.

[Bitcoin_people]

aston villa vs burnley in today's match aston villa got a great win, their attack was amazing due to which they beat the opposition team by 3-2. Aston Villa are currently in the best position in the epl this season, they attack brilliantly in every match. The performance against Burnley was really impressive. Although the two teams fought hard until the last minute, both teams tried to equalize the game but Burnley could not succeed. However, in today's match, Aston Villa won and took the second position in the Premier League points table. Liverpool is currently in the first position. Although these two teams are in the best form this season, Liverpool have 42 points and Aston Villa have the same points. However, aston villa is currently looking at their excellent performance and has the potential to take the top spot later.

Nott'm Forest  vs Man Utd
Lineups

Nott'm Forest — Turner; Montiel, Niakhaté, Murillo, Aina; Danilo, Yates(C); Gibbs-White, Domínguez, Elanga; Wood.

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

Nott'm Forest last game was incredible because they won Newcastle united in Newcastle united home with 3-1 and Manchester United won against Aston villa with 3-2 and now Nott'm Forest are hosting Manchester United, the both teams had an excellent performance in the last game, I can predict this game because Manchester United are full of disappointment while Nott'm Forest are full of surprises, but let watch and see the end of the game.

[marcous]

Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Man City, Aston Villa and Wolves managed to finish the match by securing 3 points in week 20. Changes in position in the standings automatically change temporarily, because several other teams have not started their matches. meanwhile, Liverpool still leads the standings, followed by Aston Villa, City and Arsenal.

The closest and most interesting match will be presented before us in a moment, the match between Nottingham Forest and guests Man United. On paper, Even though they managed to beat Newcastle the previous week, I don't think that can be used as a full reference when facing The Red Devils, not without reason because the Ten Hag squad is trying to close 2023 with a win.

However, unfortunately in this match Hojlund was not included in the starting XI, even though he had just broken an egg yesterday when United beat Aston Villa, I mean scoring his first goal in the EPL since being brought in from Atalanta. however, we will see how the final result of the match is, it is very likely that Ten Hag and his fleet can steal full points and take it home to Old Trafford.

Chelsea won but it wasn't a fantastic win they could boost off for me. How can they lead by 3 goals and allow Luton to score 2 goals against them between the stoppage time of 10 minutes?
Chelsea not being able to comfortably secure a victory against their opponent without them conceding goals is the major problem I find in the Chelsea team that Pochettino needs to resolve. If more time had been given, the match between Luton and Chelsea would have ended in draw.

Chelsea's defence has the problem of handling set pieces, they are always defeated by aerial balls. Coach Pochettino should seek avenues to handle these lapses because the Blues have tall defenders that could curtail these problems. But if the Chelsea attack can score more goals, the team might be able to win games without clean sheets. It was not a fantastic performance but it was the maximum points. Two consecutive wins for the Blues might be a sign that they are back to chase the top-four position.

There is nothing Sheffield can do now against Manchester City. Rodri opened the game after only 14 minutes, assisted by Foden. The funny thing is that Manchester City has excellent players, which is why everyone was wondering what was wrong with them, but it appears as if they are already getting back in the game.

Manchester City wants to use Sheffield to send a message to people in the premier league and it does not make any difference with what is currently happening so congratulations on their winning Sheffield, and from the stats, they did not even give them breathing space from shots on target to ball procession.

Manchester City was in total control of the game and Sheffield was lucky to conceive just two goals because judging from the ball possession and shots, the goal should have exceeded that. Liverpool still tops that table but might vacate the position if they fail to win the game against Newcastle and City goes ahead to win their one outstanding match. It Is a pity for Sheffield United which has maintained the bottom position with just nine points in twenty games. Except the Blades improve they might end up going to relegation.

Overall Chelsea is not better than Luton but that's not something strange because of the fact that Luton always plays aggressively against great teams Arsenal 4-3 Newcastle 0-1 Manchester City 2-1 and today Chelsea 3-2 well, from all these matches we can conclude that Luton always scores goals, even 3 goals against Arsenal. This is Chelsea 2nd win this week, I'm not saying Chelsea is back because they have done it before then again back to poor performance therefore we cannot yet conclude what Chelsea's condition has been like recently at least we have to watch 3-5 more matches.

[Queentoshi]

But Aston Villa were very lucky. After scoring from the penalty spot in the 89th minute, they took a 3-2 lead and secured a full 3 points from the match.

This has been the best season for Aston villa and they look very determined to maintain their position. The points between the top four teams is very small and any team can just loose their place even with a draw. Arsenal with just a loss have lost their place, and been pushed to fourth.

For Chelsea with their win, it is a good Christmas and new year gift to their supporters, they enter the new year in good spirit.

Luton played more bravely especially in the second half after they fell behind 3 goals Luton seemed to want to play more all out and it was evident where they could rival and slightly better than Chelsea in terms of possession and opportunities in the second half.

This was a bit of a problem for Chelsea as they were also still a bit weak especially for aerial duels as they seemed to let and not really want aerial duels which allowed Luton players to be a bit more comfortable in scoring goals in this match.
Other than that, I would like to praise Palmer for what he did in this match. He was again an oasis in the middle of Chelsea's drought and in this match he deserved to be MOTM with his 2 goals and 1 assist.
This reminds me of Kai last season for Chelsea. Hopefully, with what happened in the last 2 matches, they will be able to contribute even better when the EPL resumes in 2 weeks.
