Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mr.right85]

Bad result for Arsenal two losses last two matches in a row at Premier League after last match defeating by West Ham United and today defeat by Fulham, actually Fulham and West Ham United is not top Premier League teams but how possibility with Arsenal losses three points in a row and make their position drop from first until to fourth standings position.

I think with this lose for Arsenal, it makes more sense why they don’t really fit to be league champions. Like, how could they handle it having to lose yet another game when, they ought to be playing safe and getting all 3 points from these easy fixtures. I get it that Fulham has been on fire lately, getting lots of goals in there games even though they couldn’t manage to win there game with Bournemouth, they’ve always did good to win there fixtures but, it ought to be an Arsenal win today.

Manchester City are 37 points haven’t played just 18games, a game behind Arsenal and should they play there outstanding match, that would mean Arsenal on third place and it would be very difficult for them to rise above Manchester City yet again. KDB would be back from injury in the coming year and the team would be solidified. Arsenal are just messing up the chances to build better point gaps.

It's really a damaging defeat for their title aspirations, I never saw this particular lose coming unlike the westham game which I believe it can be won by either side.
They will surely be biting their teeth in regret now to lose to a Fulham side that have been out of form for quite a while now.
Just as you have already said, they just need like 10 match winning streak to put them back on track, which it's near impossible with this arsenal team that is too inconsistent.

These days, I don't comprehend how Arsenal is playing. Imagine the first goal in five minutes for Arsenal. When they arrive, we was aspecting that Arsenal will prevail in the game. We are unaware of Fulham's alternative strategy for Arsenal.
I had high expectations for Arsenal because they were leading the game by one goal in the first half. Arsenal is expected to continue being consistent when they return from halftime, but they decline to take the three points that they should have from Fulham. Arsenal now occupies fourth place in the standings, and they take their current downturn. If they don't exercise caution, they will keep plunging. This season, I don't think Arsenal can able to win league.

Arsenal getting exposed right, left, and center. With the low scoring forwards they have, I don't think they will be able to compete for the title vs. City. Forget about the defense, they are clearly lacking a-25-goals-a-season center forward

Liverpool also have a disadvantage with Salah going to the AFCON. If City don't come out by the end of January at the top of the table, I will be very surprised.

Very bad way to end the year Arsenal. In fourth position and have played one game more than Manchester City and Liverpool who are in first place. Their next game will not be any easier, it will be against crystal Palace, and having lost in two games in a row, that game will be a must win game for them if they are to remain within the race for the championship. If Arsenal players take the hard lesson from these two defeats and make sure that those are their last defeats this season, they can still win the premier league as they desire.

Back to back defeats for Arsenal (against West Ham and now Fulham), and that leaves them in 4th position as the year comes to an end, Arsenal are in a pretty sticky patch right now and they are winless in their last three EPL games, i know some people people might cry that it is a crisis, but i don't think it is, Arsenal are just 2 points off the summit, so for now nothing has changed as regards their title charge. The problem Arsenal has is that City are unstoppable when we get to the title run-in, City can go on long winning runs, and this is why i think both Liverpool and Arsenal won't win the title, but City will.

Arsenal team and fans should cry and feel sorry for themselves for losing 2 matches in the last weeks of the year. Losing to Fulham is another big blow that happened to them in a short time as they verge on this season's trophy.
Before you put it that Arsenal is 2 points off the premier league latter, let's not forget that  Liverpool haven't played their 20th match and they are 2 points above Arsenal. Imagine if they win their 20th match against Newcastle, what the points gap will be? Your guess will be the same as mine. On the same note, Manchester City still has their 20th match to play also. If they win theirs, the top Arsenal with 3 points. I hope I won't sound weird if I say that Arsenal should miss another year of not lifting the Premier League trophy as expected of them.

It hasn't been a good end to the year for Arsenal and at the same time my betting situation hasn't gone well for them in the last 2 matches.
There is a lot of momentum going on in this match for them but it seems that it is not enough for Arsenal to change their performance because they actually have to lose again.
They are too focused on possession of the ball which is actually well exploited by Fulham when they see an opening because of several things that can be highlighted from Arsenal performance in this match such as when their attack line is poor and finishing is not going well besides that there are some mistakes in the defense area too so that even though they dominate the match but the defense actually looks just waiting for the attack to come without being able to press.
Arsenal's closing match in 2023 did not go well and with this result they were thrown back in the standings although the difference is still close but they are now in 4th place.

fulham 2 - 1 arsenal

There is no doubt that this result must be a surprise to many people, with this defeat the Arsenal are left with 3 consecutive games without being able to win, this is definitely not good, with this result they are compromising their fight for the title and to be honest I highly doubt it. That this season Arsenal can win the Premier League, they have been a very fragile team, in my opinion only Manchester City and Liverpool have a good chance of winning the Premier League this season. Arsenal will, at most, reach third or fourth place, and it is unbelievable that a team like Arsenal, which has a very good squad, is not managing to win games consistently.

Some people may be surprised but I believe their fans won't be surprised. It is not the first time that Arsenal performed badly when it is almost or in the second half of the season. And Arsenal often gets loses when they play against smaller teams. This why the fans and most people very doubt that Arsenal can win the tittle of EPL. Arsenal has a serious problem with their consistency in the performance. It is a bit confusing why it happens again and again in almost every season. It is true that it is a actually a bit surprising that a big team like Arsenal which has a great squad to perform inconsistently when it is in the crucial time to get points.

With this result Manchester City and Liverpool clearly benefited greatly as they didn't need to do anything to keep Arsenal at bay as they just stayed away on their own.
With the always busy schedule for boxing day makes the situation sometimes not too predictable and this is not too good for Arsenal because 2 consecutive defeats are not really expected especially against clubs that can be said to be below them in any aspect.

Honestly this is a mess for Arsenal but fortunately this time they will get a break first to fix some things that are indeed a gap in their matches.

Hopefully after the break the performance will be better because if it continues like this then their performance at the end of last season could be repeated by continuing to get a series of unexpected defeats.

Arsenal have tried not to lose points at home to Fulham, but what can it be done, they failed because Fulham were much luckier at home. Fulham's defense was good in this match and they managed to reduce the pressure put on by Arsenal's players in their defense, so it was natural that Arsenal failed to score more than 1 goal until the end of the match.

Of course this is not a good end to the year for Arsenal, 3 defeats and 1 draw in the last 5 matches is definitely a bad thing. On the one hand, Fulham deserves appreciation for playing well at home, but because Arsenal has a high probability of winning as the favorite team, of course a defeat like this is very disappointing.

EYES ON ARSENAL FC

Since last season, I have seen Arsenal like a club that has improved tremendously. I could remember when Arteta was struggling with Ole of Manchester United. Unfortunately for Ole, he could not make it in Manchester United but Arteta was able to win the mind of Arsenal management. He improve the Arsenal team and contest for English premier League title which eventually was stolen from them by Guardiola and his boys. I didn't blame Arsenal much because they didn't have good squad depth. But what is actually happening again this season.

Arsenal from number 1 to number 4 now  We'll, they might climb again but I am just happy that Klopp and his Red boys are ahead. They don't give up easily. If Liverpool eventually gaps others with 6 points, it's over. I don't want Manchester City to win again, that's just why I am concerned.

[Belarge]

These days, I don't comprehend how Arsenal is playing.

Another defeats again, not expected for them to lose in a row, not good for the reputation of Arsenal because they're top in the race to battle Liverpool but now looking at them, It doesn't pose any threat at the moment. Arsenal performance is gradually declining and that's no good reputation to set currently. I can't comprehend the entire performance of the club because they're not straight, they keep dissapointing everyone at die minutes, the fans are laying their complaints and not contended with the present team's performance.

[Doell]

The game between Arsenal and Fulham was definitely a nightmare for Arteta and his players because they had bad results and bad performances in this match and other than the result they got, two players of Arsenal were fighting in the game with each other. Declan Rice and Gabriel were both angry and yelling in the game.
Maybe this can show us the situation in Arsenal is not good even between the players of this team.

Yes, it was a nightmare for Arteta and team, also surely that result will disappointing their fans. With this lost in the match against Fulham, now Arsenal already lost four times so far in this season. Hmm, I can't say anything more about Arsenal in that game vs Fulham actually, but the point is their have poor performance and ended the year of 2023 with bad results. Arsenal lost against West Ham, not burn the spirits of their squad in the match against Fulham. But on the other side, I'm still hope Arsenal can bounce back in the second half of this season. And Arteta must motivate his team to get championship mentality, because is seems like they must have championship mentality to get the title anyway.

This defeat was a big surprise. Since they were not able to win a couple of the last gew games, I thought that they will be warned enough to play below their best level a and still hope to win the game. Fulham kept believing in themselves until the end of the game and had their strong moments during the game again and again. It's a problem for Arsenal to have the ball most of the time and also create most of the chances, but suffer from their opponents to have a better timing scoring goals.

[Coyster]

Hopefully after the break the performance will be better because if it continues like this then their performance at the end of last season could be repeated by continuing to get a series of unexpected defeats.

I know that after the last two defeats and with how many points Arsenal have taken in their last five games, Arsenal fans have their mind on what happened to them last season, thinking it is happening all over again. The thing is, it is quite different, last season they started losing games towards the end of the season, it is just mid season this time around, so they prolly have the time to fix things and get their title charge back on track. Having said that, i feel sorry for Arsenal and Liverpool that there is a team like City that are just unstoppable when we get to the title run-in, it is going to be City's title again this season, even though so many people are tired of seeing the same winner year after year.

As I said before, Arsenal really couldn't predict the matches they played after they lost to west ham and it is true that They lost again and this was a really bad performance in the last two match. Arsenal gave up the top spot to another team after they were inconsistent in 5 match in the premier league. I think it is true that they are not ready to stay at the top of the standing for long because the instability of their game is almost the same as the previous season.

With unsatisfactory results in the last two match, Arsenal is stuck in 4th place and the point difference will be even further from the first place team if liverpool can get 3 point in the next match. fulham could finally give the Arsenal squad a bad gift at the turn of this year because this defeat was really difficult to predict but came true. I don't know how frustrated Arteta was with the two matches ended in defeat.

Why the comparison? I mean between Ole Gunner Solskjaer and Mikel Arteta. One was far better than the other because he worked with the best to gain good knowledge of what footballs all about. The other had issues that managers before him and after him cannot be solved. Ole Gunner Solskjaer actually wasn't good tactically. He is a wacked coach who could not win the game Manchester United played against Villarreal during the Europa League finalse they played. That game was enough to day Ole Gunner Solskjaer was a poor coach.

Arsenal should do the needful. People who know the Premier League, know that January is always the start of the main chase and journey. Arsenal should make additions to the squad so as to avoid mistakes done from last season. History says that we don't usually learn from History. Arsenal relates wekk to this!!

I feel very sorry for Arsenal fans they were really expecting that their team will go a little better than last season when they finished second in the league and top the league by January. This has shown that there is a decline in the team performance this season. They should rediscover their form as soon as possible so they won't miss out on the top 4.

[Issa56]

Arsenal team and fans should cry and feel sorry for themselves for losing 2 matches in the last weeks of the year. Losing to Fulham is another big blow that happened to them in a short time as they verge on this season's trophy.

The outcome of this match is just kind of surprising. How will Arsenal lose to a club like Fulham when they really need the match? Arsenal lost their last two matches, which is kind of surprising to me. Is it that Arsenal's performance is already dropping because their last two matches, which they lost, weren’t against strong clubs? Arsenal is supposed to win, but unfortunately they lost. Maybe what happened to Arsenal last season is already happening to Arsenal this season.

Arsenal is currently in 4th place, and they have played 20 matches and they have 40 points. Liverpool has 42 points and has played 19 matches, they are still having outstanding match to play. Manchester City has 40 points and has played 19 matches, they also have one outstanding match to play. If the two clubs can win their outstanding match, then they will be leading Arsenal by some reasonable points. Let’s see if Arsenal will be able to taste first position again this season.

[SmartCharpa]

Manchester united inconsistency is obvious because it's hardly for them to win matches consecutively just look at their awesome performance against a consistent side like Aston Villa during the mid-week and for them to lose to Nottingham Forest is really very degrading. Maybe their match should be predicted like if they win a match then their next match will be against them or they draw because that's exactly what is happening to them. It's really a bad one for them to end the year with a loss but hopefully they may do more better next Year.

Manchester United performed great against Nottingham Forest, but they didn't take the game seriously until Nottingham Forest scored the first goal. The two goals that were scored, in my opinion, were just Onana's fault. The ball was heading toward him, and he was unable to stop it. If it had been De Gea, he could have pointed out the ball. In all honesty, the players play well, most especially Garnacho he's a star player, but they are just lack of goals, yesterday, Nottingham Forest's goalkeeper saved many goals for them. Onana just remained in one place, and despite Ten Hag's continued belief that he was the best for them, they ended the year with a losing match.

As Onana will be representing his country in the AFCON, I believe the second goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will have an opportunity to start for them. The season is almost over, and Ten Hag's refuse to use him if he performs better than Onana. In the end, though, Onana will be bench then because he was not the best for them.

Arsenal has a complete squad to fight for the title this season, but I cannot expect Arsenal to always be able to win matches and achieve flawless success in this best competition. The Premier League is very tight and everyone knows that the end of the year is a tiring day for every team, so a defeat like this is not too surprising even though it was not expected from Arsenal.

Manchester City, as the ruler of the Premier League in the last few seasons, is still the team that is able to provide the best competition to win the title. They have not lost anything in their efforts to secure their 4th title in 4 consecutive seasons, so Liverpool will never be safe at the top of the standings as long as Manchester City is still trailing Liverpool with a small points gap. Moreover, it's not just you who are worried and afraid of Manchester City, I mean everyone apart from Manchester City fans also feels the same way and doesn't want to see Manchester City dominate the Premier League again.

You are right, Arsenal have problems with consistency especially in the middle and end of the season this problem continues to repeat from season to season, this looks strange even though Arsenal are handled by a different coach even some people say this is a curse. Liverpool are increasingly confident and comfortable at the top of the standings because their strongest competitors have fallen and next they need to be aware of is Manchester City because they have played with a complete squad Manchester City can threaten at any time because only 2 points adrift while Aston Villa is not included in the race they only get tickets to the Champions League next season.
