Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BabyBandit]

New weekend, new opportunities. I am a bit interesting in Sheffield Utd - West Ham to play a straight 2 (West Ham as winners) to 2.3 odd but a bit scared for the draw. I don't think Sheffield will win, but I also think West Ham isn't as good as the table show's even tho they been amazing lately in PL against the top teams, but so often after a good run like that a plumb often comes and Kudus is away but I don't think it will be a huge impact.
Anyone with some ideas here? I would love to play a straight 2 to 2.3 odd.. but the draw is making me afraid.

Every match in the Premier League is a big game because you are not sure of taking the whole three points until you have played your match and won. Arsenal is already in the Premier League title race because they are in the third position in the Premier League table, with 43 points and two points behind the Premier League table leader.

I agree with what you say. The English League is really interesting to watch because they have an even level of competition between teams. Every English league match is very interesting and I admit I know more about the names of football players in the EPL than in other leagues. But even so, Arsenal still has a chance to win the title because they are only 2 points away from the top of the standings. The top 5 positions can still change because there is not that much difference in points.

What i know is that, untill the league is over no one can be certain of which that is going to win the EPL title. There are lots of matches to be played and teams that are in top 5 in the EPL table currently will win, draw or lose in the matches left. This is one feature i love about the EPL competition there is nothing like semi final, quarter final or final to play. Its been calculated based on the points level and if para venture both team have the same EPL points they will chose the winner based on who has the highest goal.

Very interesting league to watch  if you are a football lover. Also the matches in the EPL are sometimes easily to prdict because there are teams who have consistently good performance so if you play them to win they probably would win.

Tomorrow in the epl

Sheffield United Host West ham United
 
west ham United who are European football hopefuls should thrash Sheffield United easily even without kudus who went to participate for Ghana in the afcon tournament

What do you think ?

This game is a huge opportunity to keep pace with the top five.
This is the hammer's season of victory. But No Kudus, no party

Winning from Sheffield United would give West Ham United a nice buffer in 6th to United behind and move West Ham closer to Spurs.
With the way results have gone for last weekend and this, the 3pts is all that matters.
And I hope Moyes does not play the same starting 11 as he did at Bristol.
Best of luck to the Hammers in the match at Bramall Lane.

Manchester City are certainly very happy to hear this news and hope that Mohammed Salah will be absent for quite a long time. They can more easily take advantage of Liverpool's current situation and at any time can displace Liverpool at the top of the standings. De Bruyne's return is an improvement in performance for Manchester City and the absence of Mohammed Salah will be a disaster for Liverpool.

Salah's predicted injury is a hamstring injury. I think it won't be too serious. In the short term, the Egyptian team will be directly affected if Salah is absent. As for Liverpool, their schedule this January is not too heavy, they only have to play one match in the Premier League against Bournemouth.
That's why Liverpool can completely give Salah the right to rest in the next few weeks if he is unfortunately injured. The Premier League championship race still has a long way to go. This is just a temporary shortfall for Liverpool. Mancity should not be too hasty to rejoice and lose focus.

While Liverpool is going to have a match against Bournemouth and this can be a very important game for them because of the situation they have. but there is the possibility for Liverpool to play without Salah in this game because it seems he got injured.
Even Klopp was worried about his player and he said Salah was never asking for substitution to leave the field and seeing this player in this situation made him talk about this player.

Liverpool is under pressure now because of the competition in the league table now as any failure to win Bournemouth today might really cost them the top of the table because for now Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester city are following up Liverpool with all alacrity so should Liverpool drop points now they might be giving either of the teams behind them in the table an edge to move to the top of the league table so Jorgen Klopp needs to be up and doing and make sure that his boys wins Bournemouth today in other for them to still maintain the gap a bit. I think Salah is on injury and had it been he was fit he would have participated on international duty for Egypt but hopefully he will be back on his fit soon.

Even relegation battling teams cannot be underrated especially at this stage of the league because they always play with full strength and zeal that is why I always agreed that premier league matches are always tough, lower and mid table clubs are always not easy to play against especially when they play top teams even Man City had lost some few of their matches to those clubs this season likewise Arsenal and Chelsea. Meanwhile Arsenal convincing win against Crystal Palace yesterday had relaunch their title bid once again I think from now on till the end of the season it going to be battle of the top teams even Aston Villa are pushing forward towards  challenging those top teams I believe there is going be a competitive matches ahead in EPL.

Just as someone said above, " No Kudus, No Party " and I'll come to agreement with whoever made that statement, he has been a vital player for them in the midfied against Manchester United and also against Arsenal. His absence hurts, but what can the hammers do about it?
Asides him, they're missing out on Lucas Paqueta who also got out Injured. Them both players had a good combination in midfied and lacking them both means difficulty today just as they had against Bolton.

It should be a win for Sheffield United. I'm rooting for em. They maybe occupants of the last six but they've got this and they can do it again. This is a game I want em to win.

The top 5 positions can still change because there is not that much difference in points.

This season, the Premier League has even become more competitive than last season. Just look at the points earned between ranks 2,3 and 4. They all have the same number of points, namely 43 points. The only difference is that Man City has only competed in 20 matches, so Man City can have more points than the teams ranked 2nd and 3rd which have competed in 21 matches.

Spurs, who are in 5th place, have a number of points that is not much different, namely 40 points and this also allows for rapid changes in the standings in the top 5. So every team currently cannot afford to lose even 1 point if they want to remain in the current ranking.

Meanwhile, Chelsea and Newcastle still seem to be slumped in 9th and 10th place.

But this does prove that the Premier League is on a different level from other football competitions. And yes, I also know more names of players from the EPL.

Of course, we can see changes in the top ranks because the quality of the league is so high that even teams that are close to relegation can get points from the big teams. This suddenly changes the fate of the entire league. Arsenal still has the chance to win the title. They played one more match and their points are in good shape. If Liverpool and Manchester City drop points, Arsenal can get into the pot again.

The match was no less exciting between Brentford vs Nottingham because a total of 5 goals were scored in this match and Brentford was able to win with a dramatic 3-2 lead. Nottingham, who had the status of the visiting team, appeared very solid and made things very difficult for Brentford, as a result they took the lead through a goal scored by Danilo in the 3rd minute. Brentford was doubted because they conceded quickly but not long after Ivan Toney managed to equalize the score at 1-1 and This was Ivan Toney's first goal after 267 days of absence after serving a gambling-related sentence last season.

Continuing into the second half, the match was still fierce and both teams returned goals again until Brentford finally scored the winning goal in the 68th minute through Maupay. This victory made Brentford move up to 14th in the standings and they are quite safe from the relegation zone. Well, the thing to watch out for from Brentford is the return of Ivan Toney and as a striker he is a player to watch out for this season.

The league is strong, but do Bournemouth really have a chance of taking the points away from Liverpool today? Why is there such a high odds on Liverpool, 1.79 is suspiciously high, even taking into account that Liverpool will play away, and several players have been called up to play for their national teams, Liverpool still remains as strong.

I looked, Bournemouth had a very impressive winning streak, and apart from the last defeat to Tottenham, they look very cool, so it might not be easy for Liverpool today.

Not a bad analysis. I am more worried for the draw tho. But I can see you know what you talking about, but i don't think they will be so much badder now then before without Kudus and Paqueta, they still got a good chance.
A good run always has to come to an end. Why not now? I will see how I do.. Maybe I just leave this game alone. 
Anyway good luck with your bets (if you bet)

Respect!

Liverpool be benching alright. Very good squad depth has helped Liverpool get more impact subs in their games. This is the graph of substitute goal involvement and they are just off the charts when compared to others. Having good squad depth is crucial for doing well in the EPL in the long run. Spurs had decent bench players as well, but almost 10 players are out injured for their team. So much so that they had to list 3 substitute goalkeepers in one game, just to fill the squad sheet. Hard times. Surprisingly, Aston Villa are up there as well. which is a good sign for them, in the long run.

Even Klopp was worried about his player and he said Salah was never asking for substitution to leave the field and seeing this player in this situation made him talk about this player.

Liverpool will play their 21st match against Bournemouth with the return of Manchester City in the hunt for trophies meaning Liverpool have no time to relax even though against Bournemouth, Jurgen Kloop needs to play carefully and not make fatal mistakes, he still has to be focused until the last minute. The difference in points with Manchester City will continue to overlap because Manchester City will definitely play more aggressively to continue to get closer to Liverpool. MoSalah was absent due to a hamstring injury during the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. This is clearly a loss for Liverpool because MoSalah presence is really needed to continue to add strength to the attack line. Not only Mo Salah, according to news from thisisanfield there are 8 players who are confirmed to be absent, including those who play the most important roles in the depth of the squad such as Szoboszlai, Endo, Matip, Alexander Arnold and Tsimikas.

I think Salah is on injury and had it been he was fit he would have participated on international duty for Egypt but hopefully he will be back on his fit soon.

It's true that during times of pressure like this the Liverpool players' mentality is being tested, but if you look at Liverpool's journey I think they can get through this match with a win because Liverpool are used to pressure like this even though Liverpool is without Mohamed Salah, and Liverpool also lost another player, Trent Alexander. - Arnold is injured. Even though it is a big blow for Liverpool, I am sure Kloop can overcome it in this match.

So even though Bournemouth are in a good trend, having only suffered one defeat in their last eight matches in the EPL, maybe this match will be a little difficult and intense. However, in my opinion, Liverpool has the ability in terms of player material and mentality to get three points in this match. Judging from the last few matches, Liverpool is also more dominant.

Whoever is in first place will most likely always face pressure and there will always be a burden to be able to win every match so that their position remains safe. Likewise with Liverpool, moreover they will play as guests. But if we look at their consistent performance and how good their composure is in every match they have played, I guess Liverpool can win this match. If that ultimately happens, then the pressure will shift towards Man City.

Yes, it is indeed very annoying when fans have to witness the defeat of their favorite club, which causes anger which makes the condition of the club even more depressed because they see all their fans disappointed, but what happened to Crystal Palace is not surprising because this club is not a top club so it is something that is natural that he would be crushed by a top Premier League club like Arsenal.
Every fan definitely wants to win for their favorite club and they always make hurtful comments when they find out that their favorite club has lost and end up blaming the manager so that the board takes action to fire the manager and we don't know the real problem lies with the manager or players if a club is not developing well. .

And if they continue to change coaches without improving the performance of the players, it will end up being the same as the club not making progress. The board should provide sufficient finances to the manager to buy the players needed and carry out changes to improve overall performance, but because Crystal Place's finances poor limited managers can't do much more than save the club from the relegation zone.

I think the match loss was expected but the result was quite crazy and disappointing. Yes Crystal Palace aren’t a match to Arsenal though but that doesn’t justify this crazy result. And we can only imagine how the fans would have been feeling after this heavy defeat. No fan would want his club to lose and that’s why this defeat isn’t one any fan of Crystals Palace would love. I think the team lacked concentration and would need to be prepared more for their next match so as to avoid this kind of defeat.

 They’ve changed coaches a number of times and haven’t made any credible additions to the players and that’s like not doing anything because the players are still the same and no difference yet. So I think the board should get more finances for the addition of creative players.

It seems that Liverpool will really play seriously to get full points in tonight's match, because what you say is true, that Man City has started to recover from its downturn in its last few matches and the presence of their midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will be a frightening threat. For Liverpool, Bournemouth will play at home. Liverpool will certainly face fierce resistance. It seems they will face difficulties with the absence of Mohamed Salah in the Liverpool squad.

Every match in the Premier League is a big game because you are not sure of taking the whole three points until you have played your match and won. Arsenal is already in the Premier League title race because they are in the third position in the Premier League table, with 43 points and two points behind the Premier League table leader.

I agree with what you say. The English League is really interesting to watch because they have an even level of competition between teams. Every English league match is very interesting and I admit I know more about the names of football players in the EPL than in other leagues. But even so, Arsenal still has a chance to win the title because they are only 2 points away from the top of the standings. The top 5 positions can still change because there is not that much difference in points.

Before you conclude that the two points difference away from the leaders of the premier league table currently is not much for Arsenal to make up for in oder to get to the top of the table, you have to first consider the top two teams, their ability and their next fixtures as compared to that of Arsenal, will Arsenal's next fixture allow them cover that gap, and will the top two teams be slack enough not to broadening the gap??

Arsenal is currently not consistent as they were earlier at the beginning of the season so it's very possible that as small as the point gap is from the top, they may not be able to cover it up and displace the team at the top of the table, I know if Liverpool losses their next fixture then Arsenal may have a chance at the top of the table but just before then is Manchester city who Also wants the top spot too so I will rather keep my fingers crossed than been to optimistic about Arsenal as they have done something similar last season, where they were toping the table with a very good point margin away from the team at the second spot.

If Liverpool and Manchester City drop points, Arsenal can get into the pot again.

This season is very difficult to predict, because of the situation and condition of the players and their consistency, so it is very easy for big teams to move up and down their positions in the standings. Something like this should be a good opportunity for teams at lower levels to take advantage of this situation and win the matches they are playing, so they can maintain their position in the standings or improve their position in the standings. As experienced by Arsenal, in several previous matches their performance really declined and they did not appear consistent in the matches, resulting in several matches being lost. The impact of this defeat caused Arsenal to be moved by Aston Villa to 4th position, possibly due to the situation and condition of injured players. However, when Arsenal faced Crystal Palace, their performance and consistency were quite good and they managed to win this match. With the hard work carried out by the team, Arsenal was able to shift Aston Villa's position to 3rd place in the standings. This proves that Arsenal has completely recovered and is ready to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City for the League title this season.

[rendravolt]

Will Liverpool be able to continue to widen the gap at the top of the standings through this match against Sheffield? and as we can see now the match is already underway and the position is still the same 0-0. Maybe for Liverpool this is an easy match, especially since the opponent is a weak team in the relegation zone and even though this is an away match for them it is certainly not a difficult problem to be able to steal 3 points.

On the other hand, Sehffield still have to fight to get out of the red zone and if they still don't score points in this match then they will definitely be worse off. I think if they want to get points against a strong team like Liverpool, the only strategy they can do is defend, but if that doesn't work well and actually catches them off guard then Liverpool won't hesitate to beat them with a crushing score. I think Liverpool will win with a difference of 2 goals because 1 goal will not be safe enough for the Reds.
