Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BabyBandit]

I didn't find a thread for Championship so I post it here.
Leicester - Ipswich: Leicester lost last game and is very good for Championship and will go up to PL again and I think they are hungry to come back with a win, not likely they lose two in a row.
Ipswich is not bad placed third at the moment and haven't lost in a while but the more you win the closer you geta loss and Leicester is better and got home advance. Will be a close game but I saw you get 1.90 odd for Leicester to win and it's just to good for not do anything about it with the information I have.

I also know Brighton play against Wolves. I know Brighton got some players gone and Wolves got that to + Wolves is not so good away, Brighton should be able to win this and need to win this if they want to claim a top spot this season. Playing a paralay that Leicester & Brighton win gives 3 in odd and that's actually a good value, I know it can be a boring bet. but my lately run cant just deny this paralay, so if you want to win play opposite as I do. *LOL*

So that's how I end up tonight without any pressure.
Good luck all everyone.

This season Liverpool is doing very well, they have many games without losing and have become one of the main candidates to win the premier league. I see that they are very strong in attack to the point that even without having Salah, Liverpool are still having good results in the Premier League, which shows that Liverpool have enough attackers to not just depend on Salah. In yesterday's game against Bournemouth, Liverpool managed to score 4 goals and didn't concede any goals, Bournemouth only managed to have one great opportunity to score at least 1 goal but they didn't do it, they wasted it. Liverpool has been doing very well in defense, I hope Liverpool can maintain this good performance until the end of the season

only if liverpool is winning the games and doesn't leave room for losing points and could it become champion, other teams like manchester city are close to liverpool and in the past there has been a scenario in which city managed to catch up and surpass the team which was at the top and with that Manchester City became champions, that's why Liverpool needs to be very careful and not underestimate Manchester City, another team that is also in this race is Arsenal, which is a good team and will continue fighting for the title until the last round. That's why Liverpool must strive to win every game they have ahead of them

Manchester City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa all are on the same points right now. But Man City has one match in hand compared to the other teams if I am not wrong. So Man City does have a chance to get closer to Liverpool and make the point difference only 2. But I also don't expect Liverpool to take things easy and give up the advantage that they have right now. Aston Villa has been inconsistent in recent times and that's why it has become hard to trust them with good performance.

Sheffield United 2 - 2 West Ham

This game was very strange, it was a game with 2 penalties and 2 red cards. Sheffield United did very well in that game and could have managed to win if they had more luck, but unfortunately Sheffield United was unlucky and only managed to get one point in this game, with this draw Sheffield United's situation remains dire, they are close of being relegated, a shame for the Sheffield United players and coach who will probably play in the lower league next season

I expected West Ham to win against Sheffield United and it was definitely a surprise for me to see that West Ham actually draw the match. But of course, there was a lot of controversy as well if I am not wrong. But at the end of the day, it is not a win for West Ham, and that's what matters.

Expecting a battle between Brighton and Wolves tonight... This match is very important for both clubs... I can't say who is the favourite in this match, but the bookies think it's Brighton... Although it seems to me that Wolves are playing just as well at the moment... I think that the bet that both teams will score should work...

We keep ourselves updated regarding the matches in EPL because they're consider important in matches. Another EPL matchday, and I'm ready to watch both competitive and impoverished teams compete. There are games that do not require a straight win; simply do an analysis based on their previous confrontations, and you will be able to identify and forecast the outcome of the forthcoming game. Roberto De Zerbi faces Gary O'Neil at the Amex Stadium. The odds are considered essential for gamblers because Brighton has the advantage in winning the match.

[Odohu]

I was thinking the same thing as well, concerning how Liverpool will be able to cope without their hit player, I later realized that one thing with nature is that, nature will always fills every gap, might not be exactly the way you want it, but trust me it will be filled up.

Yeah truly Liverpool will eventually filled the gap if Mohammed Salah is no longer with them but however no matter how they feel they can perform well there performance will never be the same as when Salah was with them because the role of Salah in Liverpool is so important that the club may no longer be on the same shape if he is no longer with them, perhaps just like what happened to Manchester City when Kevin de Bruyne had the injury truly they were able to filled the gap but there performance was never the same as when he was there, so the club suffered a lot until he came back and restore the club performance so perhaps that's what may likely happened to Liverpool if Mohammed Salah doesn't play with them.

It is really difficult to say at this point because their last match was such a great outing even without Salah. No doubt Salah is the main man of the team, scoring important goals and giving the team the needed motivation to remain resolute in all their matches. His absence will affect Liverpool for sure but will definitely not mean the end of them or make them being a top team in the English Premiership.

Brighton are really unpredictable recently. They are lacking lots of important players due to various reasons these days. This has a really bad impact on their consistency level. One day they score 4 goals against Tottenham but the other day they can't score a single goal against West Ham.    Otherwise I would have really liked to place a bet on Brighton to win against Wolves honestly.

I'm hardly keeping myself from their win right now too though but I won't. Because it seems really risky while Wolves have been in-form for three weeks on one hand. Playing a home game can still be misleading about Brighton here.

Brighton @1.60 odd appears to be a risk worth taking; they have an excellent head-to-head record over Wolves in recent years, and while struggling in a few games this season, they still managed to achieve a very comfortable first leg win. Both clubs have their best players (Hee Chen and Mitoma) at the Asian Cup.

I consider giving Brighton direct win a big risk because Wolves is not a team to write off. Even though they have not been doing great lately, they are always scoring in most of their matches. I will consider both teams score at 1.63 odd, a safer option. Wolves will not allow Brighton defeat them in this match, it will be difficult.

[Chilwell]

Wolves vs Brighton

Brighton — Steele; Hinshelwood, Dunk(C), van Hecke, Estupiñán; Groß, Gilmour, Milner; Buonanotte; Welbeck, João Pedro.

Wolves — José Sá; Kilman(C), Dawson, Toti; Nélson Semedo, Doyle, Lemina, Doherty; Sarabia, Pedro Neto; Matheus Cunha.

This both team have an incredible performance, it seems they have equal strength because there last 5 matches are very good especially for the Wolves that have not lose any matches since December 17, 2023 against West ham United, but nothing can be say about this particular one because Brighton are also very consistent this days with the way they played pervious game and at the same time they are hosting Wolves, Brighton home performance is a nice one, but let see if Wolves can continue with their winning or Brighton win continue their home achievement. This match will be a tough one.

[ShowOff]

Jurgen Klopp truly knows how to rotate his team while still bringing out the best from them and I'm very hopeful they're gonna fight for the title till the end of the season. Manchester City undoubtedly will heap pressure on Liverpool but Klopp will surely want to make a statement with his boys this season

So far Liverpool are still unstoppable even though they are without their main striker who is currently absent (Salah), the victory over Bournemouth further strengthens their position at the top of the standings with 48 points, even though they are currently at the top of the standings but Liverpool do not yet have a safe position as title challengers considering several the teams below still have a big chance to overthrow Liverpool, Manchester City is relatively must be wary by liverpool  considering their very consistent performance, apart from that,  aone postponed match that Manchester City has could be an advantage for them to easily overthrow Liverpool. The next two matches are a real test for Liverpool, considering that they have to face two big teams from London,  if liverpool  lose in the match, of course Manchester City will really benefit because they can cut the distance even closer and I think for Manchester City next two matches will produce full points because they are against weak teams.

On paper Liverpool is clearly a team with all the advantages over its opponent Bournemouth. So it's only natural that Liverpool can dominate the match and win it with a score of 0-4. At first Liverpool had difficulty breaking into Bounemouth's goal in the first half and both played goalless until the first half ended. Liverpool started to find a way to break down Bounemouth's defense in the second half and they really made Bounemouth's players lose concentration.

It's true that Liverpool are not safe so far even though they are at the top of the standings. If Liverpool does not create more points difference than Manchester City, then I believe Manchester City can still occupy the top position and lead until the end of the season. So Liverpool will indeed be under a lot of pressure from now on, especially in tough matches against equally strong teams.

The next two matches will be tough for Liverpool even though Chelsea and Arsenal can still be beaten. Chelsea tends to be unstable, but Arsenal doesn't seem like they will accept defeat after previously losing in the FA Cup. So it's true that Liverpool's consistency will be tested in the two tough matches ahead.

[baeva]

But City still has one game left. If they win against Burnley then there will only be a difference of 2 points left. Liverpool's next matches are against Arsenal and Chelsea and City's next matches are against Brentford and Everton. I think there will be changes in the standings after those two matches. With a difference of only 2 points, I don't think it's too big a difference to say that Liverpool have secured the points. I'm not underestimating Liverpool because of their consistency but they will play those two big matches without Salah if he hasn't recovered from his injury.

Based on match schedule, Manchester City postponed match against Brentford will play on 21 February and seems large opportunity for Liverpool lead top position for one month later depend on consistency winning performance. Current standings, Liverpool have 5 points left from Manchester City and get three points last match against Bournemouth for the first time after Mohamad Salah injury.
Have difficult opponent team upcoming match against Chelsea and Liverpool without Salah although he was return to the club after injuring with his national team.

Next match Man City will face Burnley with bigger chance get three points, premier league teams top fourth current standings very interested because Man City, Arsenal and Aston Villa have the same 43 points.

For Liverpool I think the important match will be on the 2nd of February, they meet Arsenal and everything can turn upside down there, as it usually happens in such matches. Considering that Arsenal are only 5 points behind, a win over Liverpool could give them a lot and I think they will not miss this opportunity

[Cookdata]

I was thinking the same thing as well, concerning how Liverpool will be able to cope without their hit player, I later realized that one thing with nature is that, nature will always fills every gap, might not be exactly the way you want it, but trust me it will be filled up. You can see that the other players have come to the realization that their hit player is not around, so they need to play to leave up to the expectation of the club and so far they've been doing very well. The players you mentioned in their last match, where very brilliant in their pattern of play especially Diogo Jota and Gakpo.

When he said miss Salah as the playmaker, I paused a minutes to recheck the statement, he was right but the last time I see Salah as playmaker was 20/21 season, since then they have not been doing much again, the fallout started when Mane left. Manse was even more of playmaker than the way Salah was when he came but their two contributions in the Premier League was unmatched but that wasn't the case anymore.

This season was fair though. They have made names for the club again but Salah absent shouldn't be a big deal. He is even injured from the Afcon match he last played and the agent comfirmed that he will be away for 21 days atleast, so basically he is missing the rest of Egypt matches for Afcon and there position on the group stage is also bad but that is going to be his less concerned since Premier League is the ultimate goal to return to because if they mistakenly drop form this table, that is going to be the beginning of their fall from top 4.

[salad daging]

Considering that Arsenal are only 5 points behind, a win over Liverpool could give them a lot and I think they will not miss this opportunity

It will be a tight schedule for Liverpool, I see the schedule now they will face Chelsea first at Anfield on Thursday 1 after that will meet Arsenal at the weekend then this can be said to be a tight match for Liverpool.

Now I don't want to underestimate Chelsea anymore, they have been able to win three times in the last match even though it is an equal opponent but still it must be wary of Liverpool even though I have confidence that playing at Anfield will definitely win.

Now what is more difficult against Arsenal as an away, still the favorite team cannot be ruled out, so in this match I predict a draw or victory for Liverpool.

What if they end the match with a draw?? Both teams have a lot at stake so in a bid to not end the match without any point they will both want to draw , Arsenal is getting close to the top of the table again after the did dropped some points and went some steps behind the top spot on the table but Liverpool has been gradually going up till they are now at the top of the table and they are definitely going to maintain

I would also love to see the out come of the game between these two teams because I have seen their performance so far this season a d Arsenal have been able to defeat Manchester city which was considered a very tough team for them so let's see what they will do with Liverpool.

[Alpha Marine]

So far Liverpool are still unstoppable even though they are without their main striker who is currently absent (Salah), the victory over Bournemouth further strengthens their position at the top of the standings with 48 points, even though they are currently at the top of the standings but Liverpool do not yet have a safe position as title challengers considering several the teams below still have a big chance to overthrow Liverpool,

I wasn't even expecting Liverpool to slow down because Salah left. Klopp knows how to handle his team well. The year Liverpool won the League last, both Salah and Mane left for the AFCON, and still Liverpool held on. It's just for a month at most and about 5 league matches would be played within that time.
Even with Salah injured, I don't think that would do so much to Liverpool.

What would decide the league winner IMO will be the matches between the top teams. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool still have to face each other. If Liverpool can get 9 points from these two fixtures they will be so close to winning the leagues. If Manchester gets the 9 points they will win the league IMO. At this point in the league, I don't think either of these teams will drop unnecessary points along the way, injury or no injuries.

Man City are favourites and I think most Liverpool fans accept that. We are just enjoying being back in a title race after a poor season in 22/23.

Salah will be back in max one month. We are lucky to have four other attackers who can more than keep us in the race. Luis Diaz, Nunez, Jota and Gakpo will keep us firing, I have no doubt about that. We have the best striker depth in the league, even better than Man City (squad depth).

I think we are stronger than Arsenal, the title is between Liverpool and Man City.

It's impossible, Liverpool can't get 9 points in 2 games, it's impossible and it's impossible because Liverpool can only win 9 points in 3 matches, that's possible. Lol

The best scenario that can make Liverpool win the title this season is not to lose a single point in the next 17 matches, which is likely to be very difficult. Liverpool have at least several tough matches including against Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa and also Tottenham.

I think we are stronger than Arsenal, the title is between Liverpool and Man City.

I agree, the competition between the two will be very tight until the end of the season. I hope drama like the 2021-2022 season is repeated this season between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Jurgen  Klopp is the only opponent capable of stopping Pep Guardiola this season, denial of the EPL on the citizens side won't be easy. Pep Guardiola have been prominent and working extremely hard to elevate the team's performance, they're weigh bigger and accomplished major titles in the past. They are still the best team in the world of football, because it's not an easy job watching Manchester top flight performance, they're completely balance and have to be on the top run. Manchester City are the reigning EPL and UCL champion's, putting them infront of other opponents.

Salah will always be missed by the Liverpool players, regardless of how good they've been playing lately. Salah has a huge impact on the pitch, and even the coach is aware that it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement for him right now. Liverpool can win games with ease when Salah is not on the field. However, Salah's absence from key games could cost Liverpool points because it would negatively impact their performance.

Liverpool won't miss Salah, in my opinion, unless they have a player who is at least as good as him at everything. It's similar to having a replacement who is every bit as skilled as Salah. Salah's absence could be felt by the club until then, particularly in crucial games where his abilities truly matter.

Salah's current position is like Gerrard's in the past. Has a very important position in the team as a leader and cannot be replaced as a figure.
But every generation of course there is a better replacement. Hopefully Nunez can be consistent so he can replace Salah.
Maybe the option for leader could be held by Trent or Alisson, because they are old players who certainly understand each other's chemistry.

Manchester City are still one of the best clubs in the season thus far. But they still need to score more matches before they can overtake Liverpool. 43 points beneath of the 48 points that Liverpool is carrying at the top of the table standing. The last 6 matches played by them were all wins and no lose at all.

Liverpool on the other hand are the top sprinters right now with 48 points ahead. And several points over several people. But the Liverpool is still in need of Salah right now as others may get an edge other that situation.

[Hanadawa]

One day they score 4 goals against Tottenham but the other day they can't score a single goal against West Ham.    Otherwise I would have really liked to place a bet on Brighton to win against Wolves honestly.

I'm hardly keeping myself from their win right now too though but I won't. Because it seems really risky while Wolves have been in-form for three weeks on one hand. Playing a home game can still be misleading about Brighton here.

Why not try placing a draw as a bet? So far the score is still 0-0. But Brighton really controlled the game. They had good ball control even though they only had 3 shots on target. I think it won't be long before they score. But still giving victory to one team in your bet is not a good idea if you look at the performance of both in the last few matches. Wolves look better after getting 3 wins in a row but Brighton has better quality than Wolves.

Manchester City are the reigning EPL and UCL champion's, putting them infront of other opponents.

Yes that's right. I think only Klopp is able to compete with Pep Guardiola this season because the two teams coached by them both have the same mentality and squad, both core players and reserve players. So in my opinion their chance of winning the EPL League this season, Liverpool is 51% and Man City is 49%.

I rely on Liverpool this season because there are many changes, even Klopp's strategy is always epic in every match. Apart from that, if you remember the 2018/19 season, Klopp was labeled as a manager who did not believe in young talent. But now, he is even bolder in including young players in his line-up. The latest are Bobby Clark and Conor Bradley. Of course, this is a very good development for Liverpool in anticipating injuries to key players, for example what is happening now is Salah's injury.

[nurilham]

The year Liverpool won the League last, both Salah and Mane left for the AFCON, and still Liverpool held on. It's just for a month at most and about 5 league matches would be played within that time.
Even with Salah injured, I don't think that would do so much to Liverpool.

I'm not surprised if Liverpool performance will be decreasing without Salah. But Klopp proved that they still could win the match with big scores without Salah. In the match against Bournemouth, they could win with 4 goals. They played without Salah, they have no problem to beat Bournemouth. However, I'm not sure they will be easy to score goals if Liverpool played against a strong team with solid defense. They actually still needs Salah for the big match.

What would decide the league winner IMO will be the matches between the top teams. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool still have to face each other. If Liverpool can get 9 points from these two fixtures they will be so close to winning the leagues. If Manchester gets the 9 points they will win the league IMO. At this point in the league, I don't think either of these teams will drop unnecessary points along the way, injury or no injuries.

In the next 2 matches, it will be crucial matches. Liverpool will play against Chelsea and Arsenal. Sure, Liverpool will be safe to lead the EPL standings if they could win those 2 matches. I have no doubt that Liverpool can beat Chelsea, specifically the match will be at Liverpool home. But it won't be easy for the match against Arsenal, it will be away match. Moreover, Arsenal must play all out to get points. There is a chance for a draw in the match against Arsenal. So, I'm not really sure that Liverpool will secure 9 points in the next few matches.

I would also love to see the out come of the game between these two teams because I have seen their performance so far this season a d Arsenal have been able to defeat Manchester city which was considered a very tough team for them so let's see what they will do with Liverpool.

A lot of people will say Liverpool will definitely win and that's what everyone will think cause the last time Arsenal and Liverpool played their previous match Liverpool won but Arsenal dominated, seeing the performance of Arsenal against crystal palace shows Arsenal are fully ready but do they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, I can't predict the future of this match for now. I don't think Liverpool will want to leave the top and they'll do everything in their power to win and Arsenal at the other hand will fight to gain more point so this match will be very tough and interesting to watch.
