Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Dzwaafu11]

~~snip~~

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.

Salah is a very good player, and I believe Liverpool are going to miss him even though we know that without him, their squad is still doing great. I think their thing is that with Salah as a leader and well-experienced player, those things get done while playing, but every time a player leaves a club, people tend to think that someone like such a player will be hard to replace as soon as possible, which is true, and I think the same thing may happen to Liverpool too. Although Nunez is there and also a good player with talent, hopefully he will do something good for the squad.

~~snip~~

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.

Brighton are unpredictable these days. They are doing muu if ch better na wolves. Although wolves won some of their last few matches, we know that, Brighton had quality, and with the way the games are going, I think Brighton has a chance to win compared to wolves because I can see that Brighton are doing well in the match. Although there are a few minutes to go before the game ends, anything can happen even in the last minute of the match.

For him to give one team a win is not, in my opinion. If the games that he predicts to win are doing well, then there’s no issue, but if they are not doing well and won’t be able to win the opponent statistically, then that’s when we will say the ticket will get cut. However, let’s see how the game ends.

unfortunately the problem is here. They really have a lack of players. But on the other hand, previously they were still able to really perform optimally so they were at the top of the standings. However, it was only after the middle of this season that they really lost their enthusiasm and then their performance dropped further. They are still playing well, but they are not killing their opponents, in the sense that their front line is not as sharp as it was at the start.

If only they got their strength back, especially on the front lines, they could compete even more strongly with Man City and Liverpool. Today Arsenal will compete against Crystal Palace. They should be able to optimize this chance to win so they can pass Aston Vila's position immediately.

To me it seems that they are having continuous trouble with swallowing some bitter pills during the season. Once they lose a game or they concede a stupid late goal and instead of a win finish the game with a draw, it seems that this negative experience kind of transfers to the next game as well. If a team is performing at their best and Arsenal has a good team, it is highly unlikely that they stay without a win for three games in a row. They did not win against Fulham and West Ham and they could not win any of the top games against Aston Villa and Liverpool. I think the situation is quite clear here and this means they simply don't deserve the title if they play like this.

Unfortunately this is the truth. And what happened last season seems to be happening again. The problem is that they really missed their chances of winning several times, even though they should have won. So it's natural that many fans are quite disappointed with the results of some of their matches. Fortunately, in their match against Crystal Palace yesterday, Arsenal was really able to beat Crystal Palace very impressively. Previously, I had doubts about how Arsenal could overcome Crystal Palace, which incidentally was often troublesome with big wins of 5 - 0. This, however, was also a big win that strengthened Arsenal at number one.

This has just ended the match between Brighton vs Wolves. Honestly, this was quite a disappointing match from Brighton. Despite all their possession of the ball, they were unable to penetrate to Wolves' goal. Even though there are so many opportunities. But the result is only drawn 0 - 0 without any goal.

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.

Is not too early to count Arsenal out of the title challenge?
I think Arteta is still an opponent that is capable of stopping both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, he is a good manager that can make things work for Arsenal after their last three matches lost before their league resumption match against Crystal Palace. They are back with confidence, and if they can have consistency, they will defiantly make it to the top of the league.

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.

If Arsenal can win their matches against Liverpool, Manchester City/United, and Chelsea, they will be able to win the league.

Liverpool and Arsenal have quality players and they have good managers, too. It is actually a bit difficult to predict which team to win the next match. But if we consider the current performance of both teams, Liverpool looks better than Arsenal. So, it is normal if most people assume Liverpool will win against Arsenal. If we checked the records of Liverpool against Arsenal, Liverpool seems a bit better.

However, we don't know what will happen in the upcoming match. It is purely depending many factors, we just hope that both the teams to play with their full teams. But since the match will be in Arsenal home, Arsenal has an advantage for the supports from the fans.

[red4slash]

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.

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.

I think in this case you are too underestimating Liverpool as if they can't do anything without Salah in the squad.
Although it is necessary to admit that until now Salah is a player who is a big hope, especially still being the top scorer but that doesnt mean without Sala in the squad Liverpool can't do anything.
There are still some players who ultimately support the squad such as Jota who currently has 7 goals in 15 matches although not as big as Salah's contribution but he can still be used as a reference for Liverpool now.
Not to mention some midfielders and defenders who are sometimes active to provide opportunities for goals so Liverpool will still be Liverpool who can be troublesome for their opponents.

[tiCeR]

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.

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.

There is no discussion surounding the question whether they can be or will be the best team in Europe. I still think that they are the best team and with the return of Kevin De Bruyne, if they reach the former level that made them the Premier League and also the Champions League winners, I mean, are there any questions left that they should be considered one of the favorites for any title? No.

Manchester City is the team that must be defeated to win the Champions League. I think in the Premier League we are going to see an interesting duel between them and Liverpool. All the teams at the top are top, not surprising.

I think we are going to see lots of interesting matches in the coming weeks. But I think Man City will win the whole thing.

[Renampun]

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...

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.

Even though Brighton is in 7th position at the moment, they are still a team that is not very consistent (when facing tottenham in 29/12/23 ago, pedro successfully scored 2 goals and i see that luck is also on brighton) even in the last 5 matches, they were only able to win 1 - lose 1 - draw 3 times. Even so, Brighton's current performance is much better than Newcastle's performance, which continues to lose.

Pochettino reportedly said to the public that Chelsea will not buy players in this transfer market, they will focus on the players they currently have, and face Liverpool later, Pochettino claims their team is ready.

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.

Everyone is amazed by Liverpool performance this season because they started the season by not immediately being at the top of the standings but slowly Liverpool were able to occupy the top rank of the standings and were also able to maintain their concentration quite well this season. I admit that the influential player in their team is Salah because so far Salah has always succeeded in showing his expertise on Liverpool's front line. For this reason, Liverpool will probably repeat their history to win the title again like they did in the 2019-2020 season.

It seems that Liverpool revival this season is starting to be watch out by other teams because if teams below Liverpool ranking are unable to perform better, Liverpool chances of winning the title will be even greater. Well, for Manchester City, they still have one match that they haven't played and it seems that Manchester City will be able to take advantage of that opportunity to continue to stick with Liverpool at the top of the standings.

Yeah, I can see that a lot of people are making early predictions that Liverpool will defeat Arsenal. Given the public's perception of their previous game, Arsenal's performance was poor. That is the reason why many people believe that Liverpool will defeat Arsenal, but I disagree with all of their predictions since I don't think Arsenal will lose their upcoming game against Liverpool, given their present performance.

Even that I wanted to bet, I would much prefer bet on Arsenal to win straight up because I am aware of their capabilities. Even in their most recent game against Crystal Palace, there was no denying Arsenal's goals despite their tremendous effort and impressive performance.

[Coyster]

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

I second that, and i have said it a couple of times here already that if City don't win the league for the fourth time in a row, then it will be Liverpool who would beat them to the title. Liverpool and City have gone head to head in a lot of title races in recent years, though City came out on top in most of them, and i think the both of them are going to go at it this season again.

Of course we cannot take Arsenal completely out of the picture, but TBH i also don't think they can finish either above City or Liverpool this season, i would be surprised if that is to happen.

[TopT3ns]

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.

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.

If you say Manchester City is still the best, then you have to consider it again because currently Manchester City is in second place and is quite a lot of points behind. In the next match, Manchester City must win to get additional points, catch up on the points left behind, and show the world that Manchester City is indeed the best football team.

Liverpool will compete again in the Premier League at the beginning of next month against Chelsea, so Liverpool also have to prepare their performance so they can play well and win again, because maintaining their position at the top of the standings is very difficult.

[makishart]

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

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.

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.

It's just the match against palce buddy, is there something special from palace now? This club has been placed at the bottom too. The won against palace was not something special. Arsenal may still struggle in upcoming game. Let's said that how many times people were expecting this club to play better but arsenal keeps bottle it again and again. Im boring to see that how arsenal becomes trophyless again, again and again. There has no winning mentality owned by this club. We are talking consistently and mentality once we have come to the topic discussed the potential winner for the current season. I don't wanna have a repeat of last year but arsenal keeps repeat it and may be for this season too.

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.

Being placed at the top makes liverpool played even better than before. Jota has been also growing up after it had been forced by the situation happened in the liverpool. Salah was injured and there was no good guy who can replace him except jota. He took care of it.
Jota is performing very well as a right winger and he has done it against bournemouth. The situation has forced liverpool to adapt with the new gameplay without salah. Missing salah was giving good and bad news.

Liverpool is just growing up slowly but surely without salah.

[Yogee]

Manchester City are still one of the best clubs in the season thus far.

If you say Manchester City is still the best, then you have to consider it again because currently Manchester City is in second place and is quite a lot of points behind.

You have to check the words in bold again as there's a huge difference.

Five points behind but with a game in hand doesn't look like "quite a lot". City will be facing Burnley next so that's as good as three points in the bag. It's still not guaranteed of course but you can't really bet against them in that match. KDB playing good while Halaand is also expected to return by end of the month.

[armanda90]

Premier League have 16 matches left with potential many points take by all teams, seems too early for predicting with Manchester City failure become the winner fourth time in a row or possibility with Liverpool for the first time become the winner after last edition on Premier League season 2019/20. Top fourth standings gap points not large difference have chance not only for Manchester City, Liverpool but also there are have Arsenal who fight for Premier League tittle race season 2023/24.

Next month is crucial for top fourth standings teams position, they will have Champion League knock out round and Europe league matches with potential made rotation with their squad will possibilities inconsistency performance in domestic league. Team candidate for winning premier League regarding with consistency performance until the last matchday, right now too early for predicting which one team will be the winner.

Im seeing it from the different perspective. 5 points are a lot when it comes to the competition between the big club. It's caused by the big club can always perform consistently and this makes the situation is hardly to change.
Just like when manchester city was winning EPL last season. Arsenal won since early - mid but city gone up since mid - late. City was winning caused by the consistency of club since middle until the end of season.

It's very hard to predict when the big club will be missing the points. It's caused by the big club is always having the good squad to perform consisently for longterm.
It's hard to guess that when team will able to miss the points. The return of haaland will be another disaster for arsenal and liverpool which are competing at the top for EPL this season.

The combination between haaland x de bruyne make other club scared.

You are missing the important point where I said they also have a game in hand. I would rather call it a 2 point gap at this point since they're almost at full strength and that's not a lot to catch up to. Just one unexpected loss from Liverpool and we may see a change in leaderboard.

I think it's still a bit hard since Liverpool are in advantage and I agree with what you are saying but what if City also loses some points in attempt to cover the gap? It will be all same again. The pressure is too huge for the top teams in the PL table right now. The one who is consistent will be the one winning the season. Liverpool no doubt have maintained better consistency and I feel if they continue to perform like this, then they will for sure will win the title this season.

The Premier League still has a lot of match left in the second half of the season so the top four clubs still have the opportunity to collection points to fight for the Premier League title, Manchester City is still a tough competitor in the last few seasons, Liverpool and Arsenal are still trying to break Manchester City dominance in winnings the title. However because the race for the Premier League still looks quite hot because the top four clubs have a small difference in points, so we can't predict who will ultimately wins the title.

In February, the three top clubs have a tighter schedule. Manchester City and Arsenal have to compete in the last 16 of the Champions League, while Liverpool will also compete in the last 16 of the European League, but Liverpool schedule has not yet been determined who they will compete with and of course we all don't we want this busy schedule to affect our favorite club and affect its consistency in the domestic league, but the club that is able to maintain its consistency is the one who can come home as a winners.

[Jossque]

Brighton vs Wolverhampton ended in a 0-0 goalless draw.I expected Brighton to score 2-3 goals in this game, but they couldn't capitalize on the positions they found.They certainly played better than Wolverhampton, but they couldn't find a goal and had to settle for a draw in such a tiring game. Brighton probably won't finish 5th in the league but I think they want to at least give it a go.There's a lot of competition between the teams and I don't think anyone can afford to lose any more points.The league is half over and every point lost from now on will be important for them.

[Uruhara]

Liverpool no doubt have maintained better consistency and I feel if they continue to perform like this, then they will for sure will win the title this season.

Man City has one match they haven't played yet. And this does give Man City an opportunity to get 3 points. But this is still not a guarantee that Manchester City will win the postponed match. Because we all know that sometimes Man City also loses or draws against weak teams. But there is a big possibility that Man City can collect full points in the postponed match.

But it is true that Liverpool this season is also very strong. Even without Mohamed Salah, we can still see Liverpool winning with a big score in yesterday's match. So there is no doubt that Liverpool is likely to maintain first place for quite a long time.
