Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

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.

I also didn't blame Arsenal for their failure to win the league title the previous season because they lacked the depth of talent that Manchester City had. However, this season, with their new improvements, I expected them to stay in the at the top until the end of the season. However, the season is only halfway over, and Arsenal has already given up. I like Manchester City because they don't give up easily. Arsenal went from number 1 to number 4, and they are currently just one point ahead of Tottenham Spur. I just hope Arsenal won't repeat the same thing this season.

Many people underestimate Fulham, believing that Arsenal will win because they want to win the league title again. However, the outcome of the match against Fulham really surprised me, and I don't believe that Arsenal will disappoint in that way. How can Arsenal score one goal in the first five minutes of the match? For the remaining eighty five minutes, they refused to score more goals, allowing Fulham to score two goals. I can't predict Arsenal's final position in the Premier League. After losing to West Ham, I thought they would get serious in their next game, but they lose.

[Solokan]

Honestly this time Arsenal really made the fans most likely to lose faith, consecutive defeats against teams that are much weaker than them are very bad results for a team like Arsenal who have always been favored in several seasons, honestly for me personally this is an unexpected result, I thought before they would be able to comeback by trying hard to get the full three points in this match to restore the confidence of the fans and also to maintain the prestige of the club after losing to West Ham 2 - 0 but apparently my assumptions and predictions were wrong.

at the start of the match Arsenal easily scored a goal in the 5th minute through B. Saka. After losing to West Ham i think Arsenal will improve their team and learn from their mistakes against West Ham, that's why I was willing to bet on Arsenal winning, but yes, the results were not as expected.

Mikel Arteta seems to have to work hard to make Arsenal's performance recover, but by being in 4th place, of course there is still hope because currently, if you compare the number of points with teams ranked 1, 2 and 3, it is certainly not much different. but I'm sure Mikel Arteta will be able to make Arsenal fans excited again and I'm sure Arsenal will bounce back. and I think Mikel Arteta should be able to make the players in Arsenal's defense stronger and tighter.

In my opinion, Arsenal controlled more of the match and this proves that Arsenal has good strength and in my opinion, in this case the role of the coach is very important in providing direction to the players so that the players have good strategies and techniques to achieve victory.

Today will be a very important game for Liverpool... If they beat a weak Newcastle, they will confirm the first place in the EPL... Newcastle is performing worse and worse during the season... I don't know why this is so, maybe because of the Champions League...ю. But I'm sorry that this season started badly for them... The points against Liverpool probably won't be taken...

It is true that this will be a very important match for Liverpool this season. Because if they manage to get 3 points in this match then this will widen the point difference between Liverpool and the other teams who are right behind them. Currently Aston Villa even has the same number of points as Liverpool. And yes, they have the potential to take 1st place in a few weeks if Liverpool are not able to maintain their distance properly. And to maintain the goal difference, beating Newcastle is something that Liverpool must succeed in doing.

Statistically and historically, Liverpool is clearly the favorite. You can see the head to head history between Liverpool vs Newcastle in the last 5 matches. And yes the results are amazing. Namely, Liverpool managed to win their last 5 matches against Newcastle. Even though we know that last season Liverpool slumped. But it turns out that last season Liverpool were able to win against Newcastle. And Liverpool's current condition is much better than last season so Liverpool's chances of winning are truly credible.

It would be foolish to pick a favorite team considering the stats against Newcastle. Because we have seen the rise of Newcastle since last season. Earlier this group was very weak. And qualifying for the Premier League was challenging for them. And so Newcastle will naturally lag behind statistically.

While Newcastle's players were very confident last season, their performance this season has been quite poor. Newcastle have won 9 of their 19 matches this season and lost 8. We have seen poor performances from Newcastle players in the last few matches as well. Coach eddie howe should improve the mentality of the players. Re-instill confidence in the players. If Newcastle players are confident I think they can beat any team.

Liverpool have a tough opponent in today match because Newcastle United cannot be considered weak even though they were not in good condition in the previous few matches, but Newcastle United often perform well when they face teams that are stronger than them. However, Liverpool certainly does not want to lose points in this match where Salah et al will try to win this match in order to maintain their ranking as leaders of the standings.

Apart from that, I see that Salah and Nunez have been in their best form lately, of course this is quite a wise encouragement if you want to bet on Liverpool winning. Yes, Liverpool certainly wants to widen the gap with the Aston Villa team which is in second place, so Liverpool really has to make the best use of this match against Newcastle United to get 3 points.

Arsenal were on top of the league for a few weeks but now find themselves at 4th, after losing to Fulham, away. It's still a very tight title race though with both Liverpool(a game in hand) and Aston Villa at 42 points and Arsenal, Man City at 40. Spurs are at 39 points, right behind them. Most teams are having an injury crisis and with players going in for international duty, there's going to be a lot of drama and change, in the coming weeks.

Arsenal has failed to win two of their last Premier League matches which has made them drop to the fourth position in the Premier League table this season. Liverpool is topping Aston Villa with a point difference but Liverpool has an outstanding game. If Liverpool wins the outstanding game they will top with 3 points difference over Aston Villa. Liverpool might find it difficult to win matches because they will be without Salah who will be going for the African Cup Nation.

I feel the wave of set back just got to Arsenal and it's really telling on their performance. One will wonder what I mean by the wave of set back, it's usually common amongst big team to start off well and at some point in time in the league they experience some level of set backs and later bounce back on their feet and most big premier league team has gone through that face already.

Except for Liverpool most other big teams such as Manchester city, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester united which happens to be big names in the premier league has gone and some are still going through this phase of setbacks. The ability of any of these teams to be able to get pass this stage and back on their feet strong enough to win the title or secure a spot at the top four makes them outstanding. Liverpool which has really been fantastic is exhibiting a rear Case scenario where a team can actually stay informed all through the the season but for now I can be very certain about Liverpool's form how long they will still maintain it, but if they are able to win their next fixture, it will give them a good edge ahead of others on the standings.

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.

Liverpool will be without Salah.

West Ham United will be without Kudus, Fulham without Alex Iwobi and also Calvin Bassey.
Manchester United will be without Onana. I feel like it's time to drop Onana anyways. He's conceded fifty goals since joining Manchester United.

These are the little few I know dominating in the Premier League that'll be leaving their clubs for the African Cup of Nations Competitions.

Hopefully gunner's will make good signatures and fight back them way to the top. They should have learnt enough lessons from last season failures.

The management needs to kick ten hag out of the club. It's a subject that people mock and joke about. it has been shocking for people to see how MU was bottling it anytime. The bad performance from onana became the main problem here but you shall not also forget that if ten hag was the main reason why MU played so badly here. Numerous players are going to the AFCON and it is another opportunity for the club like manchester city which is seeing salah will out for AFCON. fifty goals were a lot for what people called as world class goal keeper.

Onana was fucken shit!. Arsenal is mentally destroyed after two losses in a row. Even rice is not willing to see the current standing as he stated that tonight. Arsenal may lose a chance to compete for the title race.
Another bad story is going to happen with arsenal, im not putting a lot of expectation for this club coz we do know that so well how arsenal was always doing bottle job at the end of season but it never stops. 

A part from that mate you know that was the best that arsenal could have out on the pitch. That is the result that must be accepted by the fans. Nketiah was not ready to play and he is shit!

I'd still rate Andrea Onana a class goalkeeper even with his recent poor run at goal. Ask Pep Guardiola and he knows well that Andrea Onana is a great Goalkeeper everyday everytime. Besides the team mentality has been bruised we saw that last season with Chelsea as it affected even the best players for them.

It's for the past but not now. Chelsea is running in the same way as manchester united chelsea is a bit better caused by the club knew how to recruit a good goal keeper. Im not talking about some players like mudryk or even caicedo which are flop in chelsea.
Manchester united really needs to sign the new goal keeper as soon as possible. It will be a disaster if ten hag keeps put onana as starting line up.

Rice was the only direct player in midfied. Club Captain Odegaard looks tired same goes with Saka. He should be making runs into the eighteen yard box not behaving same way like Marcus Rashford. They're not been direct this season, I be wondering how they want to win the Euro's this way with England.

Rice was good but it's not with his team mate. he has been trying so hard to help arsenal to score but gabriel and nketiah are the problem here. They lost their ability as good strikers.
Shall arsenal recruit toney from brentford? It's pretty interesting to see toney will play for arsenal. I hope arteta considers this option too. Martinelli, odegaard or even trossard, all of these players are still underperform.
They are very different compared to the last season.

Nketiah made good runs Arsenal just paid attention to too many passes without have a direct plan to chase goal until the last moments of the game.

Nketiah is always being so wasteful and clueless. I don't know the reason why he got a place in the club.

One will wonder what I mean by the wave of set back, it's usually common amongst big team to start off well and at some point in time in the league they experience some level of set backs and later bounce back on their feet and most big premier league team has gone through that face already.

I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal went on a losing streak in their last two games whether they suffered injuries to their key players, Arteta didn't learn from last season's failures that they don't have enough talented players in the second tier to cover key players. With injuries there are no good replacements, that's Arteta's job to be able to rotate each of his players.

This defeat is certainly detrimental to Arsenal's ability to win the title this season, it looks like they will fail again for the umpteenth time and will not be able to catch up, although there is still time but it is clear that Arsenal without some of their key players will not be seen playing well and consistently. lost unnecessary points, I also hope Arsenal can learn a lot from this defeat.

[Solokan]

Playing against Liverpool will be quite a tough match for Newcastle because they are not in good condition and this time they will play as guests. In the first match, even though Newcastle played as hosts, they lost to Liverpool with a score of 1-2. So it can be assumed that playing against Liverpool, which is playing as host and is in an on fire condition, will be a tough battle for Newcastle. They still have a chance to steal points, but that can only happen if their defense line can improve. If they keep playing like they did in their last two matches, then this will be an easy win for Liverpool.

Newcastle United will give hard time to Liverpool, even though they will lose but atleast not easily, they will give Liverpool something to fight entirely for and I know that Liverpool is not giving up because this is their chance to top the EPL table with good points, that's how to remained consistent in league matches. Newcastle United will ready their mind because they're playing a top club and not any how random EPL club. Newcastle United boss, Eddie Howe will prepared his mind to accept whatever results that would be link to the club tonight.

Yes, many people predict that Liverpool's match against Newcastle will be a tough match for Newcastle and indeed, if you look at Liverpool's last 5 matches against Newcastle, of course Newcastle have never won. But yes, this is indeed a match worth watching because the strongest team in the English league will play against the team ranked 9th and of course we won't know the result, but to be honest, I personally want to bet on Liverpool winning. Yes, Newcastle must be able to create a strong defensive line and I think if Newcastle can create a strong defensive line then there could be potential to win or draw.

I agree with you, and in my opinion Newcastle will definitely appear confident against Liverpool and of course Newcastle definitely doesn't want to lose for the second time. but it is certain that Liverpool will not embarrass themselves especially as the hosts by Newcastle. and indeed this is a good opportunity for Liverpool to add points so that Aston Villa cannot catch liverpool.

[bitLeap]

Arsenal lose against West Ham when West Ham weren't in good form and Arsenal has better statistic in everything.
Arsenal lose against Fulham when Fulham weren't in good form and Arsenal has better statistic in everything.

This club (Arsenal) was favorite and many people predicting they will win Premier League this season lol.

Home ground, head to head, past performance are useless if we want to bet Arsenal, better to bet the opponent. Next match Arsenal will meet Liverpool and Crystal Palace, I guess Liverpool and Crystal Palace will win.

Fulham did not lose this match in terms of opportunities, but indeed Arsenal dominated this match. The second consecutive defeat suffered by Arsenal is not good news, because they can be further away for the title race this season. I don't understand why things like this always happen to Arsenal, don't they learn from their mistakes last season, where they experienced a decline and that made them unable to beat Manchester City in the competition to become champions last season.
It's not over yet, they still have a chance to get back on track. Arteta must evaluate their mistakes in their last 3 matches.

Statistically and historically, Liverpool is clearly the favorite. You can see the head to head history between Liverpool vs Newcastle in the last 5 matches. And yes the results are amazing. Namely, Liverpool managed to win their last 5 matches against Newcastle. Even though we know that last season Liverpool slumped. But it turns out that last season Liverpool were able to win against Newcastle. And Liverpool's current condition is much better than last season so Liverpool's chances of winning are truly credible.

And qualifying for the Premier League was challenging for them. And so Newcastle will naturally lag behind statistically.

We have seen poor performances from Newcastle players in the last few matches as well. Coach eddie howe should improve the mentality of the players. Re-instill confidence in the players. If Newcastle players are confident I think they can beat any team.

Compared to last season, this season Newcastle has again experienced a decline that I think it looks significant. They are now thrown into 9th place in the standings and it doesn't look good at all, because last season they were in 4th place and managed to be in the Champions League. You are right they have to restore their mentality and confidence even better, because inevitably it has an indirect effect on their appearance. One of the things they can do to restore it all is to bring in new players in the transfer market, because their finances are now good and they can really do it all.

Arsenal played with their best squad in the last two matches and the defeat was unexpected because previously they appeared quite impressive but in the last two matches they lost their sharpness in scoring goals. Of course, this is quite a drastic setback for Arsenal because Arsenal, which was predicted to be the strongest candidate to win the title this season, actually made mistakes like the previous season.

Big teams often lose points when facing mid-table teams and it happens often. For arsenal they still have time to get back to the top but can arteta stop this bad trend or will it continue. This season we have seen the instability of big teams, as experienced by Manchester city and tottenham and now experienced by Arsenal.

It's ridiculous to have a match on the first day of the year, the players will be working instead of spending time with their families. At least they didn't play a match yesterday, that's something
I think Liverpool will not have much difficulty in this match. They are already leaders in the league right now, but once this missing match is completed, they will be ahead with 3 points. I don't think they will miss this opportunity, Newcastle are not a very good team and I don't think they will be able to stop Liverpool

It's not just that, Newcastle have a lot of injured players and this of course affects their results. Of their last seven matches, Newcastle won only one game (and they were able to do this after Fulham were get red card in the 22nd minute of the match), they lost all other games. Can they count on at least a draw today, I don’t know, it’s hard to believe that Newcastle can lose so many games in a row, but they are weak now, and Liverpool are in great shape...

Of course, not many were surprised to see Arsenal's defeat, especially as we know that it has become Arsenal's habit in the second half of every season to be inconsistent again. They ran out of gas and returned to their natural habitat, and now both Liverpool and Aston Villa are starting to worry about being chased by Man City. Because we understand Arsenal's character is back again, plus they are playing in the Champions League. Having lost once or twice, the opponents already know Arsenal's weaknesses,

For me, the chances of winning the EPL this season are Man City 49%, Liverpool 51%, and Arsenal 0%. Many Arsenal fans are adamant and believe that Arsenal will win the EPL league this season. But going into the second half of the season, is it clear? Even Liverpool supporters knew from the start that they were more worried about Man City, which was at the bottom at the start, than Arsenal, who were at the top of the standings at that time.

Just excited to watch big match today, absolutely going to stay home and enjoyed an entertaining game today. Both clubs are not in the UEFA Champions League competition, giving them more time to focused on winning top matches in EPL because it's solely their domestic league and winning is very important. Both clubs are very careful not to jeopardize their chances of winning, a strict measures will be implemented. Liverpool vs Newcastle United tonight, this is the first EPL fixture for the new year and everyone looking forward to watch the first EPL club that would accumulates three points in 2024.

It seems to me that Liverpool will win, because Newcastle this season again became a club from the middle of the standings... By the way, last season only Liverpool managed to beat Newcastle several times... I think this game will be bad for Newcastle again...

Liverpool are in good form, while Newcastle are the opposite, they struggled to maintain their form last season and now they look weaker. I think Liverpool realize what Newcastle are experiencing this time, they are different from Newcastle in the previous season which showed an impressive performance. But even so they shouldn't try to underestimate Newcastle because it will be very dangerous for them, especially now that Liverpool are pursuing something they have to get this season, which is to become champions in the Premier League. If they win this match, then they will leave Aston Villa who are their closest club in the current standings with the same 42 points. Of course they will also leave Arsenal who won another defeat this week. Manchester City will probably be their closest club if Manchester City manage to win this week.

Liverpool have the strategies and the skills to defeat Newcastle united 3-1 in their home because they don't like to make any match easy with their opponent which they will do something miracle that will make them not to allow others teams to take over the position from them again. I know many people will use this match to believe that Liverpool are in the right direction to win this premier league title which i believe that Newcastle united can't withstand Liverpool in their home . Since Newcastle united position in the premier league is too low based on some of the defeat they experienced from other teams and it will give Liverpool more strength to achieve victory easily from Newcastle united.

The gap will be even bigger than this time caused by some clubs like arsenal got bad result. The only major threat for liverpool is manchester city right now. City is slowly climbing up again, and the club needs to be even more careful with it.
Klopp was not willing to see his club to do another bottle job again. Eventhough newcastle is still performing so badly but it doesn't mean liverpool can see it as underrated club soon. Liverpool needs to make sure it will not be losing against newcastle.

This is another big match that is happening this week. Liverpool shall not miss an opportunity to get three points from there. In fact, some players are still on fire like jota or diaz. Liverpool must not miss this momentum to get three points from newcstle.
Newcastle can also go to the bottom position if the club keeps to lose three points against its opponent. I wonder what squad that is going to be used by eddie howe.

Newcastle is not a strong club again and club needs a new coach to handle it. The performance from the players are dropping so hard compared to the last season. Newcastle will not play in UCL soon.
