Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JeffBrad12]

Things are not going well for Chelsea again. Chelsea lost 4-2 to Wolverhampton at home and after the defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea suffered a 4 goal defeat again. Chelsea started the match well and scored the first goal, but with 2 goals in the first half they lost 2-1 at the end of the first half. Although they played more than their opponent, they could not score. This led them to defeat. Chelsea, who started the second half with pressure, fell behind 4-1 with consecutive goals.  Although they made the score 4-2 with 5 minutes to go, it was unfortunately not enough to get points.

No improvement at all from chelsea. No tactical improvement nor individual improvements. Chelsea once again played like shit and no doubt that if people were blaming this club anytime. Six months passed and chelsea still can't play out the back. I remember there were many chelsea fans who commenting on various platforms said that
"trust the process" and it's all crap. I think that people will be thinking for twice to watch chelsea with the current performance. It's terrible to watch and people shall waste their money to watch the shitshow from chelsea.

Many chelsea fans who aware about how crap chelsea is right now is stop in watching the club when it has no improvement, no development. Chelsea looks so pathetic club as always. The fact that, pochettino is still in the job today and that's pathetic to see the management was not even taking decision regarding his future asap.
He deserves to be sacked from the club. He has not already been announced as sacked is a horrible decision from chelsea. This club is nothing since abramovich had gone.

I can only watch so many fans from other clubs are mocking this shit.

Manchester United continue their run of form in recent weeks. Manchester United, who defeated out-of-form West Ham 3-0 at home, want to stay in the race, but the points difference is a bit high. West Ham had more chances than their opponents but couldn't capitalize on them and couldn't even score a goal. With this win, Manchester moved 2 points above West Ham.

Manchester United are not stable but this winning helps them to have 8 points less than Aston Villa with same played matches. They will have to beat not only Aston Villa but also Tottenham Hotspur and they will need to have very excellent next months to beat those competitors. This winning is important for them to continue their good form and avoid to be fallen too far behind those clubs.

However, Manchester United still have a long way to go and beat those competitors with 6 points and 8 points less. Tottenham will have Son Heung Min return after AFC Asian Cup and they will be stronger in attacking. Aston Villa with 8 points more look too far but they are not too experience and it seems Manchester United will race directly with Tottenham in coming months for a fourth position.

Not consistent agreed but, they could still go ahead to win the next three games in the month of February. ( Aston Villa, Luton Town and lastly Fulham are three clubs and fixtures to be played this month ) Beating West Ham United off course is a good way for them to prepare for the job along the road.
They also do not need focus on the downfall of another side but rather go on how they can successfully win the fixtures ahead one game at a time.

Not a long way, just some level of consistency they'll have to be so serious about it and make sure they would fight until the end of season.
Love the win for Gunners, would they still be possible to win the league themselves back to the top of the league?

[hahay]

For Manchester United, the next game against Aston Villa will be decisive. Three points away from Aston Villa will be important for them to get into the race, but I'm a bit skeptical that they can win this away game. United don't have a consistent style of play and form, so the football they play in one game doesn't match the football they play in the next. They will definitely struggle against Aston Villa but a possible win here will be in their favor because Totthenham will host Brighton at home and Totthenham are likely to drop points in this game.

Given Manchester United's poor defensive performance, I would look at Aston Villa's individual total over 1, or even 2 for a riskier bet. Although Aston Villa also does not always play well in attack, but Emery made this team attacking and they are good in attack, and Manchester United’s defense is weak and Onana makes a lot of mistakes, so I doubt that Manchester United will be able to keep their gate dry. Regarding the winner, I think that Aston Villa has a good chance of winning this match, but betting on the winner of this match is risky, it is better to refrain from it.

I think, playing away against Aston Villa will certainly be a difficult match for Manchester United because anyway, so far this season that Aston Villa is still a good team for home matches. Although indeed, in the previous match Manchester United and Aston Villa also both won very well but yes, considering that Aston Villa is still also in a good trend. So, playing at home certainly guarantees Aston Villa not to be defeated by Manchester United. But yes, at least if we consider the existing head to head results, at least Manchester United still has a good record too. But yes, because I consider Aston Villa's trend which is still good at this moment, then yes, playing at home against Manchester United, it looks like Aston Villa will still have a good chance too.

In perhaps the most important match of the day and of the year, Arsenal managed to defeat Liverpool 3-1 at home and got a very important win. I must say that Liverpool was defeated by the simple mistakes of Van Dijk and Alisson. Arsenal's win ended Liverpool's unbeaten streak.

What we really pay attention to from Manchester United performance is Rasmus Hojlund, because he may have started to understand the Premier League game and that is also what makes Rashford lose his place a little. This means that Erik Ten Hag is more confident in the contribution of Hojlund who is a hard worker, who dares to go up and down to help the defense, whereas we know that Rashford is a bit lazy in doing that. This victory is very important to continue to grow the mentality of the Manchester United players who had slumped. However, there was a heavy price to pay for this victory because Lisandro Martinez suffered a serious injury which had a bad impact on him this season. Erik Ten Hag needs to determine which player is right to fill the back position because Martinez's role is quite vital.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea were a huge disappointment this week... The score was like 1-4 against Wolves at some point. Chelsea got 1-0 ahead first and I have no idea how they ended up with a result like 2-4 later on.  

They conceded 8 goals in their last 2 league games. This is just horrible defending. Pochettino's seat must be under danger these days. I mean I don't think this is mainly his fault. I don't want to unsee the real reason. Since Abramovich left this team haven't been in good shape. I don't think Boehly is the right person to manage this team. Chelsea deserve a much better chairman for themselves.

[uswa56]

Manchester united managed to gain victory over Westham yesterday was quite a good one but it's still not enough to redeem their glory as they will need much more than just that to be able to secure a spot at least amongst top four team, the performance of Manchester united this season isn't encouraging and yesterday I literally struggled to go see that game

Tottenham is looking very much formidable to the point that I'm scared if Manchester united will succeed in the race for the fourth position with them because they are strengthen the team with the return of their injured players and son who went for the Asian cup to defend his country, the return of all these team mates will make the team get a better form than they did had, Manchester united didn't ha e any of it's player going for any tournament yet thsy still didn't look inform against other teams in the absence of their players so I doubt if Manchester will do better against a complete spur squad in the race to the court position on the table.

Manchester United played much better and felt they deserved this victory and on the other hand, West Ham's performance was also quite declining so Manchester United could take advantage of this to destroy them with a score of 3-0.

In terms of strength, Manchester United are quite good and that has been visible since the start of the season, but their problem is consistency, there is no guarantee that they can continue to consistently show performance like in the match against West Ham.
For the opportunity to fight for the top 4 positions in the standings, I think Manchester United is still very much taken into account because they still have quite a big chance.

Totally agree, after Abramovich's death, Chelsea seemed to be under a curse, Pochettino, who was expected to bring Chelsea back to glory, seemed to only give false hope.
Yes, Pochettino may have to be fired immediately if he doesn't want to see Chelsea getting worse, the supporters no longer need the process, what they want now is for Chelsea to recover quickly.
Chelsea needs the cool hands of a new coach to be able to restore Chelsea's performance, which seems to have lost its passion for winning.
Maybe Zidane could be one of the candidates for Chelsea's new coach, maybe this is what many Chelsea fans are hoping for. that their team would recover soon

Regarding the winner, I think that Aston Villa has a good chance of winning this match, but betting on the winner of this match is risky, it is better to refrain from it.

Of course betting on Aston Villa is too risky if you still remember how Manchester United won 3 points at Old Trafford against the same team at the end of last December. Manchester United has big ambitions to win matches, I see it as something good for improving performance and teamwork.

So far Manchester United is unbeaten in their last 5 matches in the FA Cup and Premier League, but the performance of the defenders will certainly be in the spotlight in the next match against Aston Villa. Aston Villa carried out a revenge mission in the away match against Manchester United which ended 3-2, so Aston Villa will try their best to win in their home match later.


Brentford vs Manchester City is the only match we can look forward to today. Manchester City must win and take advantage of the best opportunities to reduce the points gap with Liverpool and Arsenal. Arsenal's victory over Liverpool must be welcomed by Manchester City, so of course they must react as expected by winning the match against Brentford. The winning will make Manchester City equal on points with Arsenal, it will also make Manchester City only have a 2 point gap from Liverpool.

[bering]

After Liverpool lost yesterday then Manchester City have good chance to cut their gap points and today Manchester City will gets easy opponent because they only fight against Brentford and i have seen Haaland was already to recover from his injured because last week when Manchester City beat Burnley Haaland was played as substitution player and today too most likely he will be played since the beginning of match and do not forget too De Bruyne because after got recover De Bruyne was total playing 3 times in all competitions and during those matches he can made 3 assists and 1 goal so these records is proven De Bruyne have already to reach his top performance again

Brentford have no chance to beat Manchester City this because just like i said above Manchester City was in the good conditions especially after some of their players are return to play again so certainly Manchester City will being an the winner of this match but i think Manchester City should beware of Ivan Toney because since return from his suspension Toney has scores 2 goals and for betting purposes Manchester City has low odds @1.37 but other option just like over 2.5 goals also good pick

Whatever happens, Chelsea is in the second part of the standings, last season they took 12th place (which looked like a disaster) and this season they are still in 11th place and this already looks like a pattern. I don’t understand why Pochettino is still there, given that there are many other problems at the club, such results are absolutely unacceptable. They even have a negative goal difference lol.

[Toro iskandar]

This match is very interesting to watch because the two teams seem to be competing very fiercely to win and of course also occupy the top six positions in the standings. And Ten Hag has now started to field Manchester United players who have now recovered from their injuries, such as players Victor Lindelof and Sofyam Amrabat who have dared to play on the field and with this strategy Ten Hag is confident that Manchester United will be able to beat Wes Ham today. We are waiting for the results.
However, I don't think West Ham will remain silent, their team will play well because West Ham cannot possibly let Manchester United win and shift their current position in the standings.

After that one goal, Man United's confidence seemed to have increased. Previously they tended to wait for the opponent's attacks, but after winning by 1 goal, they seemed to take more initiative to control the tempo. I think if they can keep up that performance, then they will have a big chance of winning this match.

Of course, Hojlund's success in scoring a goal in the first half was very influential in improving the performance of his players, this was a very good start to the first half for Manchester United. who were previously as strong as West Ham, appeared very energetic and full of confidence playing at home and the support of West Ham supporters at that time also dominated the players to try to calm this match. However, it seems that Manchester United cannot just sit idly by, their players are trying to change the atmosphere in the stadium to become very exciting and tense. The reason is that their own proud team has never been able to score a goal in return.
And what you say is right, if Manchester United play like this in the future then I think they will be able to shift their position slowly.

Chelsea deserve a much better chairman for themselves.

We very often see complaints from Chelsea fans who say that, if Abramovich was still leading the team, Pochettino would not have become a manager this far. It is very difficult to explain Chelsea situation this season, we no longer know where their real mistakes lie, what can make the club stable and not lose points again. Pochettino clearly has a series of young players whose prices are super expensive, but whose quality is very far from standard, yes standard to compete for trophies or at least to lock up one ticket to appear in the UCL next season.

The latest defeat against Wolves was incomprehensible, losing at Stamford Bridge by a 4 goal margin was a disaster. Apart from their defense line being very porous, Chelsea front line is also very problematic, the strikers they have are far from expectations. It's not surprising that the Blues are now an average club, because nothing has changed after they finished in 12th place last season, this season seems to be going the same way too.

It is difficult to understand Chelsea's performance since Abramovich left, even though new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has done various things to bring it back to its glory era. Since the Boehly era there have been changes in coaches but under Pochettino the Blues' performance has not changed at all. So I think the London team's problems must also be addressed on the club board's side because technical and non-technical matters also need special attention. If the board of directors is not evaluated then whoever the next coach may be will not be able to bring about significant changes.

Everyone was surprised with how Chelsea ended up losing the match and how they conceded four goals in the match. I never expected that from Chelsea. I don’t even know what’s Chelsea's current problem, and I don’t know how it’s going to be fixed. Since the beginning of the season, Chelsea have been maintaining 10th position. Whenever they are trying to climb higher, their performance will drop, and they will go back to 10th position. Chelsea is now a midtable club, and even after spending lots of money getting new players, there are no changes in their performance.

They conceded 8 goals in their last 2 league games.

That’s so poor of Chelsea, they conceded four goals against Liverpool, they also conceded four goals against Wolves. Chelsea was not supposed to concede so many goals against Wolves, it’s really bad of them. Maybe Pochettino is not just the right coach for Chelsea because I can’t see a difference in their performance this season and the previous season.

Yeah, today Manchester City will become an opportunist using the part loss of Liverpool against Arsenal to climb the EPL table. However, we shouldn't conclude because anything is possible in the premier league. Brentford may become a threat to Manchester United and strive by all means to make it difficult for Manchester City to win the match. The game may end up being a draw match and that is my wish. I know many persons here will find it impossible since everyone has the perception that it will be a stress-free win match for Manchester City today.

My only fear is that De Bryne is back, and he has continuing doing wonders. No matter how difficult Brentford may make the game look for City Kelvin will find a way to send one of those his finished passes inside the 18 yards of Brentford. Leading to a goal. He has done that several times especially when the team need it so badly.

Totally agree, after Abramovich's death, Chelsea seemed to be under a curse, Pochettino, who was expected to bring Chelsea back to glory, seemed to only give false hope.

If the board of directors is not evaluated then whoever the next coach may be will not be able to bring about significant changes.

Chelseas fans should remove their mind form the EPL title and focus on praying that the team should be revived. First, they have to pray for a new coach that will build the team back to its standard and secondly, they have to pray for consistency in their performance. It's understandable that football can be much easier for the coach if he has the right player to do what he wants in the peach. And Pochettino have been giving that opportunity to buy the players he wants. Yet no progress in the team. This obviously mean that he does not have any idea what he is doing and typically the under performance of the team is caused by him.

[Richbased]

I would say one of the main reasons for Liverpool's loss in this match was Mohammad Salah's absence from the squad. Had Salah been with the squad, the match would have been more competitive.

Since Salah was not in the squad. Naturally, Liverpool's attacking players were a little slow in their performance. And that's why Arsenal's players have plenty of attacking and counter-attacking opportunities. Had Salah been in Liverpool's squad, Arsenal might have played a bit more defensively and tried to counter Liverpool's attacks.
Despite the defeat in this match, Liverpool remain at the top of the table. If Liverpool can continue their winning streak in the upcoming matches, Liverpool have a chance to win the title.

Liverpool's defeat was unexpected, apparently Arsenal are not going to give up so easily. And the defeat of Liverpool gives City a theoretical chance to come out on top, since they have two games in hand, and if they can win them, they will top the standings. Today City will play with Brentford, for them the last two games with this opponent were not very successful, but this cannot continue forever and Brentford are now not strong enough to beat City, especially since Guardiola understands that his team cannot lose points now.

Sure no one saw Liverpool losing to Arsenal due to the fact that they are in-form and were hoping to still maintain the gap between them and the second club in the league table but I was analyzing the game that most Arsenal defeat to Liverpool is always when Mohammed Salah is being featured but since he hasn't returned from injury so I saw it as an advantage for Arsenal to win Liverpool, though for me Liverpool played better just that they missed most of their chances and Arsenal utilized their own chances and another thing that caused Liverpool's loss is due to poor defense like the defenders overlapped too much thereby granting Arsenal easy penetration to their defense and scored goals.

Liverpool losing to Arsenal at this critical stage of the league is very unfortunate because if Manchester city wins Brentford tonight and possibly win their outstanding match then they would surely claim the top of the league and any opportunity that Manchester city have now to reclaim the top of the league will peradventure give them an edge over the league title though the top four clubs are very up and doing as anyone of them might take over the top of the league table if others flops.

[abhiseshakana]

Manchester United continue their run of form in recent weeks. Manchester United, who defeated out-of-form West Ham 3-0 at home, want to stay in the race, but the points difference is a bit high. West Ham had more chances than their opponents but couldn't capitalize on them and couldn't even score a goal. With this win, Manchester moved 2 points above West Ham.

Manchester United are not stable but this winning helps them to have 8 points less than Aston Villa with same played matches. They will have to beat not only Aston Villa but also Tottenham Hotspur and they will need to have very excellent next months to beat those competitors. This winning is important for them to continue their good form and avoid to be fallen too far behind those clubs.

However, Manchester United still have a long way to go and beat those competitors with 6 points and 8 points less. Tottenham will have Son Heung Min return after AFC Asian Cup and they will be stronger in attacking. Aston Villa with 8 points more look too far but they are not too experience and it seems Manchester United will race directly with Tottenham in coming months for a fourth position.

I think this is not Man United's best performance, but at least they have improved and it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will get even better in the future. It's not an easy thing because as we know, their previous performance was indeed inconsistent, but if they can maintain their performance like when they beat West Ham, I think Man United will have a chance to at least fight for a place in the top 4.

In perhaps the most important match of the day and of the year, Arsenal managed to defeat Liverpool 3-1 at home and got a very important win. I must say that Liverpool was defeated by the simple mistakes of Van Dijk and Alisson. Arsenal's win ended Liverpool's unbeaten streak.

Man United vs West Ham and Arsenal vs Liverpool have more than our expectations. Because even if Man United could win the match with West Ham, there was not so much hope to win the match with 3-0 goals. On the other hand I thought Liverpool would win the match but they lost the match with Arsenal 3-1.this is a huge failure of Liverpool. Arsenal have come a long way with this match now Arsenal need just one more chance to win then they can overtake Liverpool in the points table. The next match is much easier for Liverpool as they have a much weaker opposition. But the match will not be easy for Arsenal. so Arsenal should prepare well for the next match and win the match or else they will fall into a big difference in points again.

[tbterryboy]

This factor may also be one of the causes of Liverpool being careless in this match. Because I really don't understand Liverpool's performance in their back line in that match. Maybe as you said, Liverpool became a little careless or relaxed after they managed to beat Chelsea with a lot of goals. And they realized too late that against Arsenal there really is a different kind of pressure. Because Arteta as Arsenal coach also seems to be increasingly mature as a coach. Because as time goes by, Arteta will become an increasingly experienced coach. And I believe Arteta has a very good future as a coach who many other clubs will want in the future. So it is not surprising that Arsenal is getting better from season to season. And beating Liverpool is a very good achievement for Arsenal and is also a benchmark for Arsenal that they are indeed a team that still deserves to be in the title race this season.

I have to agree with this as Liverpool was relaxed after beating Chelsea with big margin, and they were also taking Arsenal easy which give them shock because Arsenal done good job and now have three wins which bring them back into title race, and they are also learning from their lessons which mistakes they have done few weeks back but now fixing their issues which are giving them good results.

Now if Manchester City won their all-next few matches then surely we will have difference of points just 3 for the top three teams and this is going to be interested in last few rounds because all three teams at the top are at same level and have ability to win title, but they need to stay at this current level and also having consistency into their performance.

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

I think this is not Man United's best performance, but at least they have improved and it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will get even better in the future. It's not an easy thing because as we know, their previous performance was indeed inconsistent, but if they can maintain their performance like when they beat West Ham, I think Man United will have a chance to at least fight for a place in the top 4.

Manchester United last three matches have managed to have consecutive wins and this is an unexpected surprise because previously Manchester United only experienced defeats and draws.
But even though in the last three matches Manchester United managed to win, it still cannot be said that they have improved and it is possible that in the future it will be better.
Look at how they have played for more than half of this season, it is clear that there is no hope whatsoever of achieving big achievement, this season will be different from last season and of course this season Manchester United will not have the opportunity to occupy the top 3 positions and have UCL ticket.
I really don't believe that Manchester United will experience an improvement in the quality of their play in the future, as long as there is series of dramas that occur or some problems occur then Manchester United will still be team that cannot have stable and consistent performance.

Their only hope is next season but this is if they can correct their mistakes and start from the start to recover and achieve success.
Manchester United next season will only get Europa League ticket and I not yet sure that they will succeed there.
