Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[onecall123]

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.

Kevin De Bruyne had not played a match for 5 months, if you are taking a long break after being injured, returning with such a simple match is a very good option. He was back on the field without tiring himself, and they took as little risk as possible.
I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  

Man City crushed Huddersfield with a score of 5-0 and in this match,  Man City really dominated the game. From the start, it was predicted that Man City would get an easy win because they were playing at home and Man City is at a level far above Huddersfield. One interesting thing is that we can see De Bryune returning to the field after the long injury he suffered. Even though he didn't play the full game, he managed to make an assist.

The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come!

Arsenal are a good team, they're active in all competitions and they've got the special ability to get victorious at the end. Well for me they've got a great squad and impressive management too but it'll be better if there's an improvement to what they already have. They need to take advantage of the current window and strengthen some areas of the team, especially the top 9 position cause Gabriel Jesus is becoming unrelaible and Nketiah is still not very experienced for that role.

 Adding a striker to the list and a few more players with increased effect won't really be a bad idea, rather it'll push the team into getting greater, bigger results. It's actually good that so far, the team have been promising and they're working smoothly with their manager too. Errors are quickly corrected and coordinations are present to. One would wait to anticipate what the January transfer window holds for this team.

I agree with you 100% that Arsenal is a good team, and they have been performing well in various competitions, which I am sure many people will testify to. For the team to have more strength during the current transfer window, which is a good advantage for them, especially in the top nine positions, will possibly be beneficial. Gabriel Jesus's reliability and Nketiah's experience are valid concerns. Adding a striker and a few more players with increased impact could potentially lead to greater results for the team, and I am quite sure they will do more than what people expect from them, which will make many fans more excited about their term.

 It is positive to hear that the team has been promising so far and that they have a good working relationship with their manager. Their ability to quickly correct errors and maintain coordination is important for great success. So let's wait and see what the January transfer window holds for Arsenal. So that we can see what arsenals are capable of doing.

Here is the list of temporary top scorers in the EPL and as usual there is the name Erling Haaland who tops the temporary tally with 14 goals and that is the same number as Mohamed Salah who is behind in terms of age. Erling Haaland is still very young and is still consistent with Manchester City and it is likely that he will still be the top scorer in the 23/24 EPL season. Apart from that, there is one surprising name, namely Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth who has managed to score 12 goals so far and that is also the same number of goals as Son from Spurs. Another one is Jarrod Bowen from West Ham with 11 goals which also enlivens the list of top scorers so far.

I think the competition between these players to get the EPL golden boot is still very wide open and they still have the opportunity to increase the number of goals they will score in the remainder of this season. But what is clear is that the competition for top scorers will still be dominated by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah until the end of this season. Quite curious who will set another record this season.

Haaland is certainly a unique player, because you can see that this season he is clearly in a slump and very often it is seen that he does not get into the game and often can not score from very favorable situations, in which before without problems scored, but nevertheless, even being not in the best shape remains the best scorer in the EPL.

Salah as always well done, trying to pull Liverpool to the championship this year and trying his best, and Bowen is probably time to look for a club from the top five, the potential for development he still has a lot.

One big problem Manchester city has had all this season long has been the absence of their best midfielders. I think this is what has occasioned the slight decline in their performance so far.
Haaland had really done well despite his lack of form, and Salah too, because at a time Salah was thought to be missing in goal scoring action for Liverpool.
I  had the hope that at least one Arsenal player would be on the top scorer list, but their performance so far has been really inconsistent and the lack of a good striker is clearly evident. I wonder what happened to their dream of premiership glory.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Manchester United have been going through hard times since the beginning of this season and we all know that but for ETH coming to say that the pressure on the team that's affecting the players is something I don't really understand. As a coach if you win a game you take the glory and if you lose you take the fall and try to sit up, to me as it stands I see that pressure to be on ETH and he knows that but he's telling the public that the pressure is on the players that's why they perform poorly.
Now we're in the transfer window and if funds are given to this coach Erik ten Hag I believe he would try to get new players and he thinks pressure won't affect the new guy? Very funny.
The coach need to work on his boys because the more he keeps pushing the pressure that's on him on the boys it won't change anything but it shows that he's not capable to take the fall if his team doesn't perform well, today he can't give any excuse that's if he loses to Wigan.

The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come!

This was indeed a good achievement even though the opponents were not quite evenly matched, so it is very natural to say that the match was only one-sided. But this week Manchester City will visit Newcastle United where everyone will again see how Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku play against fairly even opponents. Because currently Manchester City really needs to catch up with Liverpool who are still quite strong at the top of the standings with only one defeat after twenty matches this season.

Manchester City can still be relatively relaxed, it is not as if they were far behind and would need to fear that they lose contact to the top teams at the table. In fact if they win that one game which they still have to play to catch up in the number of games, it is just 2 points between them and a very strong Liverpool. But the season is still very long and if we think about the teams that have most likely the longest breath in this race, I think most of us here would agree that it is more likely to see Manchester City make some big moves instead of Aston Villa or Arsenal. In my opinion there is nothing to worry about for them.

Arsenal is finished and this club will get nothing this season. Im feeling so happy liverpool was just destroying arsenal. Liverpudlians are starting to yelling it. Arsenal fans shall be blaming arteta caused by this is his mistake.
The club is going down again like what it used to be last season and im very happy caused by arsenal out from top 16 of FA cup. The club can put more focus on to the other competition like UCL and EPL which is potentially bottling it as well.
This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by arsenal as soon as possible. I kinda feel that if arsenal will be trophyless again this season caused by the club was not seriously building its winning mentality. Arsenal can't even keep up with it.
Im doubting the performance from the club in EPL caused by the bad result in FA cup makes it clear if arsenal has no winning mentality and no doubt that if people were no putting arsenal to win EPL again this season.
The current season is owning by manchester city and liverpool. These clubs are the strongest candidate to win EPL.

That seems like an overreaction, first of all we should realize that even the "nothing" is not really nothing in the end, Arsenal could finish in top four, meaning will go to UCL next season again and they are facing Porto this year at UCL and could go to quarter finals as well.

When you consider all those, I feel like they are going to make some serious money, in tune of 50+ million, along with another 20+ million or so for the group stage success they had so far, maybe even as far as 30 million, add in some like 10-20 million for extra ticket sales for these, and they have probably made somewhere close to 100 million in income, with more to come. I think that is not "failure", they could use that and try to get better as well.

[Godday]

Correct. Getting a better striker might indeed be a solution. But the problem is that in the mid-season transfer market it is very difficult to get good players in the transfer market. Because of course all the great players will be retained by each club until the season ends. Unless it makes a high offer that is difficult for the targeted club and player to refuse.

If Arsenal cannot bring in a new, better striker, then Arteta's task will definitely become tougher because he has to maximize the current striker. And actually Arsenal's strikers were also very good at first. His quality has been proven at the start of this season with Arsenal and also in the previous season. It's just that I don't know what's happening now that all the front line players seem to be together and not as sharp as usual.

That can happen because we know that maintaining consistency at the top level is very difficult for any player. I see that currently Arsenal does not have a striker who is able to maintain their level of play. Examples of strikers who are able to be consistent with their performance are Kane, Mbappe and Haaland. I can't mention all the strikers but the fact is that currently Arsenal's strikers are still inconsistent with their game and this is a tough task for Arteta if he wants to appear competitive and win the title.

I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  

I was really happy about Kevin De Bruyne's come back, but just like you said I believe with time pep guardiola might offload him, because it's as if the teams has gotten used to his absence, however the Manchester city team hasn't gotten that master stroke yet in terms of winning ways, so in another vain allowing him just to go like that will affect the team general performance because De Bruyne still have a lot to offer, he just got back from injury allow him some time to blend with his teammates and you will see his firepower.

However, after seeing yesterday's performance, I think Pep Guardiola as manager will definitely consider the contribution that a player like De Bruyne can make, and giving De Bruyne time to fully recover and re-adapt to his teammates is a wise move. A player of De Bruyne's quality can add an extra dimension to his team, and waiting to see his contribution once fully recovered is a sensible option.
With everything De Bruyne has, letting him go is not the right decision, considering that when De Bruyen doesn't appear, Manchester City experiences problems in scoring goals. With De Bruyne's return, everyone hopes that De Bruyne can continue to make a meaningful contribution to Manchester City.

There is still alot ahead of this season and Manchester City is still in a good position to climb the table to top the league,  I was arguing with a Manchester City fan earlier this week and he was so optimistic that Manchester City is going to retain their current title in all leagues.

But I try to point him to some fact that may limit the club from achieving that in this season,  but he was so bent on his point and at that point, I have to leave him alone and let time do the judgement,  to see where Manchester city will end this season.

[Ndabagi01]

I think the competition between these players to get the EPL golden boot is still very wide open and they still have the opportunity to increase the number of goals they will score in the remainder of this season. But what is clear is that the competition for top scorers will still be dominated by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah until the end of this season. Quite curious who will set another record this season.

With the way the league is going and the competition for first place, Erling Haaland and Mohammed Salah will undoubtedly be the favourites to win the golden boot this season. They are both doing well for their respective teams and are eager to score more goals to give their teams an advantage in the race for the Premier League title. The other players who made the top scorers list are doing great as well, but there is no guarantee that they will remain there until the end of the season. Liverpool currently leads the table, with Manchester City trailing in points. However, due to Haaland's spectacular nature, he is likely to win the golden boot this season.

[Oluwa-btc]

Here is the list of temporary top scorers in the EPL and as usual there is the name Erling Haaland who tops the temporary tally with 14 goals and that is the same number as Mohamed Salah who is behind in terms of age.

Salah as always well done, trying to pull Liverpool to the championship this year and trying his best, and Bowen is probably time to look for a club from the top five, the potential for development he still has a lot.

Salah is a very unique goal scoring player and he also creates goals for his teammates. I will not compare them both but they are the best goal scoring players we have in the Premier League Competition.

Erling Haaland has Kevin De Bruyne and the rest of the Manchester City players who have been very productive for the big man. Mo Salah though can't score more goals if he doesn't return fully fit and safe after the Afcon.
Over the years, he has been rhe best goalscoring player for Liverpool, same can be achieved if he returns back without being Injured.

[Pesona1]

That win for Liverpool was huge without Salah. I thought the whole game that Arsenal would have the upper hand in the end, but Liverpool didn't stop defending so strongly. Luck was on their side to a certain degree, but Liverpool isn't a bunch of lazy guys who didn't deserve it. They worked their asses off during that game and if then luck is in their favor, I am ok with it. Since they lost their best striker due to the African Cup, it's only fair if some of that disadvantage turns into a little bit of luck for them at the right place and in the right moment. This time Arsenal was out of luck.

When I saw the progress of the match in the first half, I thought that Arsenal would win this match because they played better than Liverpool who didn't get any shots on target in the first half. But, in the second half, Liverpool improved slightly and I think what made them win was that they had a better fighting spirit and composure than Arsenal. Liverpool always keeps their guard up and when Arsenal lets their guard down and makes a mistake, Liverpool takes advantage of that opportunity to get a goal.

In this match Arsenal actually won in terms of possession of the ball and opportunities, but unfortunately the dullness of the front line again became Arsenal's main problem because there was no striker who was capable enough to score goals, Arsenal habit of attacking through Saka and Martinelli was very easy for the opponent to read so there was no creativity arsenal attacks can be predicted if the end of the match always ends in defeat, if you look at several Arsenal matches back then you will be able to find that Arsenal game is actually quite good but the final solution is always a problem, in the match against Liverpool we can see that the front players Arsenal looked very frustrated because the Liverpool defenders seemed to have read every move of the Arsenal players and were able to overcome them.

[hahay]

Correct. Getting a better striker might indeed be a solution. But the problem is that in the mid-season transfer market it is very difficult to get good players in the transfer market. Because of course all the great players will be retained by each club until the season ends. Unless it makes a high offer that is difficult for the targeted club and player to refuse.

And actually Arsenal's strikers were also very good at first. His quality has been proven at the start of this season with Arsenal and also in the previous season. It's just that I don't know what's happening now that all the front line players seem to be together and not as sharp as usual.

That can happen because we know that maintaining consistency at the top level is very difficult for any player. I see that currently Arsenal does not have a striker who is able to maintain their level of play. Examples of strikers who are able to be consistent with their performance are Kane, Mbappe and Haaland. I can't mention all the strikers but the fact is that currently Arsenal's strikers are still inconsistent with their game and this is a tough task for Arteta if he wants to appear competitive and win the title.

Yes indeed, the reality is that Arsenal do not have a striker who is consistent in scoring goals and in fact, so far this season Arsenal's top scorer is owned by Bukayo Saka who only plays as a midfielder. After all, Arsenal forwards such as Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard also do not have a good goal record and therefore, it is natural that Arsenal still need better forwards.

But regarding the decline in position and performance experienced by Arsenal at this moment, I think it is a common result and usually experienced by Arsenal in the second half of the season. Because after all, from season to season very often Arsenal fail to maintain their performance. Therefore, then I cannot blame only about the forward players because yes, basically Arsenal have still failed to maintain their top position in the Premier League standings in recent seasons.

[Velvet78]

De Bruyne made a great return by the way. He entered the game in the 57th minute of their FA Cup game and it took him only 17 minutes to make an assist to Doku.    It was a really lovely assist as well. This is great news for Manchester City as the games which De Bruyne is a part of are much more winnable for them.

From now on I expect to see him in their next Premier League games as well. I don't know if he would be in the starting eleven right away in their next league game. But in a short time at worst he would take his place back there for sure.

[Roseline492]

The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come!

Jeremy Doku is one of the best signing for Manchester City because ever since the guy started playing for Manchester City there has been so much improvement on that position, although he doesn't score much but he is a very creative player that always creates a scoring opportunities for Manchester City. Also phil Foden is a very talented and consistent player I have ever seen in Manchester City because his performance is exceptional and there is no match that he doesn't play well, he is always very tactical and knows what to do at every moment, I honestly enjoy watching the guy because he is very impressive.

[ancafe]

No one knows how Chelsea will perform in the future. It is clear that this season is still quite long and anything is still possible to happen.
In terms of the quality of Pochettino's coaching, it's not too bad, in fact he has a lot of experience in managing Premier League teams, he just needs time to be able to build this team and I believe in time and process, sooner or later progress will occur and we can see that from the start of the season.

It's too far to analyze Chelsea's future journey because what needs to be done this season is they have to be able to break into the top five positions even though it is difficult because they are far behind the other teams in the top five positions. Pochettino is still quite bad at handling Chelsea because they don't play consistently and they even lose when facing teams that are far below their quality. If Chelsea do not make changes, it will be very difficult for them to catch the top five positions and if they wait for the process then Chelsea will lose the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League and Europa League next season.

In the FA Cup they managed to seal victory against Preston with a quite promising victory even though the opponents they faced were much easier. Only Arsenal suffered defeat against Liverpool in a fairly fierce match. Even though Arsenal were able to control the game, Jurgen Klopp's men managed to win by two goals in the match.

During the first and second half Arsenal dominated but can't score any goal and that's very poor, with tonight  performance it shows Arsenal can't move forward this season, reason why I said Arsenal can't move forward, the team has zero effort to push forward for now, Arteta can still restructure the team but it shows he can't and the signing of a new striker should not be taken for granted, the team really need a striker this January, looking at the attempt and shots after the match and still no goal still baffles me, Arteta should restructure the team.

The inability to convert domination into goals can indeed be a concern. Restructuring the team and signing a new striker are the needs now. Arteta has been failing his plan with the signing of Jesus and Havert who performed way under expectation. Restructuring and strategic player acquisitions are potential solutions to address performance issues.

Arsenal's recent performances were discouraging that makes Arteta needs to make tough decisions, and Arteta will likely be evaluating the team's strategy and composition. They need to make positive adjustments moving forward to bring better results for the team and its supporters.

[Hyphen(-)]

De Bruyne made a great return by the way. He entered the game in the 57th minute of their FA Cup game and it took him only 17 minutes to make an assist to Doku.    It was a really lovely assist as well. This is great news for Manchester City as the games which De Bruyne is a part of are much more winnable for them.

From now on I expect to see him in their next Premier League games as well. I don't know if he would be in the starting eleven right away in their next league game. But in a short time at worst he would take his place back there for sure.

Great players like De Bruyne always have a good impact in a game; his impact in yesterday's match shows that Manchester City will bounce back strong in the Premier League to keep their title challenge. Doku, Haaland, and Alverest will now start shining because the man that will feed them with passes is back, and Manchester City will now be the best team in the Premier League as they used to be because their main man, KDB, is back and fully fit.

[tusandii]

~snip~

It is unimaginable that two big English Premier League teams experienced something like that, especially Manchester United, who have been struggling for a long time to return to their top performance.
There was hope when last season Ten Haag gave Manchester United something different, but it was quite strange in my opinion this continues to happen in their performance this season which ultimately shows them as a team that finds it difficult to perform well in many matches and they lose very easily to teams that are considered weaker than them, so it makes sense that Chelsea and Manchester United will not get a place in the league champion next season because their current points are quite far behind the top four in the standings.

Everyone has had their own glory days and of course we can imagine that if in the future these two teams rise again and are truly at their best.
So Premier League will truly be league with very interesting competition, there will be lots of fierce matches of course.
Not only Ten Hag but also Pochettino are big hopes for both teams, it just that they both continue to fail to build and improve the quality performance of the game in each of the team they train.
We don't know how the two of them are developing because if you look at this season, it looks like there is no hope and also the financial support factor from both teams cannot be used as well as possible, they took and threw away the wrong players.

But if Manchester United and Chelsea use this season as lesson to be able to start getting up and fixing all the mistakes and problems that occur then there is possibility that next season they will be able to compete in next season competition.

If we discuss the two clubs MU and Chelsea in the near future it seems quite difficult to win the title again or return to their glory days because they have to really go through a very long process and have to start from getting an experienced coach like for example MU or Chelsea can get coaches like Xabi and after that gave him the opportunity to bring in players who he thought could help the club return to strong form and after that had to get high quality players.
In this way, I am sure that these two clubs will soon return to their glory days, but this will not be easy to do because it really difficult to bring in a great coach because a great coach will also choose before accepting an offer, while the reputation of MU and chelsea considered to be slightly declining. and several times wanted to bring in experienced coaches but were always rejected.
With all this, we have to understand that the glory days can be achieved but we have to overcome many obstacles and if in next season erik Ten Hag is not fired, will definitely still be like this season.
