Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[abhiseshakana]

We have to admit that Chelsea's overall match strategy and gameplay have improved. They played really well against City.

The understanding between the Chelsea players has improved. And that's why Chelsea's players were confident even though Manchester City's players attacked a lot. And they managed to repel every attack from Manchester City. At the same time I will say that in this match we saw the best performance of the Chelsea defenders this season. Chelsea's defense was relatively weak. But Chelsea's defenders made no mistake against City. The team played very well.

Chelsea came to the Etihad Stadium as underdogs. Even though they have big names, but in the last few seasons their performance has been very inconsistent. So it's quite reasonable that many people think that Chelsea will be an easy target for Man City. However, what happened on the field was quite surprising, where Chelsea actually made the hosts frustrated with their parking the bus strategy.

A super defensive strategy with the sole objective of preventing the opposing team from scoring seemed to be effective because Chelsea had a 1 goal lead in the first half, and even though they lost possession of the ball, Chelsea was able to absorb the pressure quite well.

Chelsea and Manchester United are not clubs that should be relied on because if you should have a high expectation for them that is when they will and Jackson would have done a very great job  would have performed better yesterday and even this nkunku guy is overhyped, and that is the problem I have with Chelsea but they seem to be even better than Manchester united at this point because does once don't have bearing they win 1 they lose three. yeah, Chelsea has given Manchester City a tough time and that shows that what Pep said about them being a troublesome club is true but I would rather like if they can put in more effort to be at least a stable club.

Manchester United? Wait, you have mentioned Manchester United many times even now it is clear which position in the standings is better between Manchester United and Chelsea. I don't think one match is a reference that  Chelsea is better. Because judging from just one match will be very unobjective. If you pay attention  this year Manchester United has not suffered a single defeat while Chelsea  in the EPL from January until now have suffered 2 defeats the first to Liverpool 4-1 and the second to Wolves 4-2.

Regarding the  performance against Manchester City, the overall statistics for Pep Guardiola troops dominate, this season Chelsea  managed to hold off  Manchester City twice. That's all, while the rest certainly can't guarantee that Chelsea will play well in the next match.

That's football for you, and this is one thing that makes football more and more interesting to watch. I remembered one of my post last week where someone said Manchester City will destroy Chelsea and I told him that football is usually one sided and you will get a shocking results in games you thought might have have ended in halftime because of the score line you will see. Many people believed that Chelsea will conceive lots of goals yesterday, but surprisingly it wasn't as expected.

I also didn't expect that I would be able to take the lead in the first half when facing Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, because before the match started I also thought that Chelsea would be completely slaughtered by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. However, in reality it turned around until their match ended in a draw and thanks to that draw, now Manchester City have to fight again to be superior to Liverpool because Manchester City still hasn't played its 25th match this season.

Chelsea were able to take the lead at half time because Manchester City played as people that were not serious. I saw the game and wondered if it was the same Manchester City that we watched last weekend and the same Manchester City that won against Copenhagen. Well I might say that Chelsea have had enough rest compared to the Manchester City team. They were in action in the Champions league, it possible that fatigue has set in, hence their wasteful display yesterday.

[QueenVera]

Football is full of surprises which you can never predict, I think nobody saw this coming that Chelsea will be the one to score the first goal to lead the game, and it was unexpected that the game will end in draw. This game was not just a win for Chelsea but also a win for Liverpool and arsenal.  Arsenal is all alone chasing the first to be at the top position and Liverpool will have some relief knowing that it is just only arsenal that is close to them.

Honestly Chelsea performed better in their game against Manchester City,  it was a big surprise watching them challenging a strong team like Manchester City after many struggles in most of their previous games, but it is still not certain if Chelsea can Continue with a performance like this in other of their games coming up. Chelsea had some interesting game that they performed well but the problem they have is that it is very difficult for them to remain stable with this good performance.

Well the way Chelsea’s game play has improved is worthy of commendation as this is one big factor or change the Chelsea fans have been wanting to see. It was a great result and no one thought this result could ever be. Well this is a win for Poch, Chelsea and her fans and also a relief for Liverpool and Arsenal as the drop in points now give the 3 clubs a level playing field for the title. Now Arsenal can have a good run if they maintain consistency and Liverpool will still remain top even if Man City wins their outstanding later this week.

 Well the performance of the team was top notch and I’ll love to see them keep maintaining this level of performance as they head to the cup finals later this weekend. With this performance then I think they’ll be able to deliver Pochettino his first major trophy as a manager and would have an European spot next season. They could probably get into the conference League or Europa if they keep up with good performance.

I thought the same thing you thought. I was sure that Manchester City will show their maximum performance at their home ground and they will beat Chelsea by a big margin. Chelsea went ahead in the first half which was a real surprise. In the second half, Manchester City could not take advantage at all. Manchester City scored a goal in the very last minute of the match, otherwise they would have lost all points in this match. 
Manchester City's performance in the last match is one of the worst performances this season. As Manchester City are favorites to win the title, they should try to get full points in such easy matches. Chelsea is certainly an easy opponent for Manchester City and if Manchester City can't pick up full points against this easy opponent then they will be in trouble towards the end of the season.

Manchester United will face Luton Town few hours later, in this years United never losses and there are not any team can't stopping the winning trend from Manchester United except Tottenham Hotspur but the match result was draw. Looking current standings position, Luton Town is not problem for Manchester United defend unbeaten record in this year but last three matches all competition Luton Town had impressive performance, but last match Luton Town got bad result after defeating by Sheffield United in front of their fans.
My prediction Manchester United will continue their winning trend and make record four winning match in a row after two winning matches before against Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa.

[Nheer]

I think the draw that Man City got was a big loss because it was a home game, and it should have been a good opportunity for Man City to get the full 3 points. The scenario to get 3 points failed when Chelsea scored first because under such conditions Chelsea tends to play defensive football and it seems the strategy is quite effective, as a result, Man City could only get a draw. The title race is becoming even more interesting because at the same time Arsenal and Liverpool both managed to win.

Definitely a big loss for them especially considering that they are in the title race and all points is vital for them. I think they were even lucky to have drawn the match because it would have been a different story if Chelsea was able to convert all their chances from the first half of the game. Chelsea had the opportunity to score up to 3 goals but Jackson and sterling wasted their chances earlier before scoring. Manchester City were lucky to have equalized, they became more serious in the second half and were lucky to scored towards the end of the match. I think they approached the game casually in the first half and allowed Chelsea to grow in the game and created more chances which led to the goal.

If Manchester City was to win they would have more chances of leading the table because they still have an outstanding game and it could have given them the edge but now the race is now more intense and Arsenal are still in the race and they all look very promising and it is impossible to predict who would win the league this season.

True this is not over and there are still many opportunities in the upcoming fight, maybe this is unlucky day for Manchester City because previously we predicted that Manchester City would win easily. As I said before Liverpool must be happy with this result because they are still on the right track and continue the struggle for the title.

Liverpool and Arsenal would definitely be happy for the point dropped, the league is still long so there is still an opportunity to make up for the point loss. They would also hope Liverpool and Arsenal drop points soon in order to have the opportunity to take the lead.

Manchester United will face Luton Town few hours later, in this years United never losses and there are not any team can't stopping the winning trend from Manchester United except Tottenham Hotspur but the match result was draw. Looking current standings position, Luton Town is not problem for Manchester United defend unbeaten record in this year but last three matches all competition Luton Town had impressive performance, but last match Luton Town got bad result after defeating by Sheffield United in front of their fans.
My prediction Manchester United will continue their winning trend and make record four winning match in a row after two winning matches before against Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa.

Hopefully Hojlund and Garnacho will be able to perform optimally again because currently Erik Ten Hag is relying on attacks from these two players. If, on the other hand, Man United is unable to extend its positive trend, it will be difficult to revive its best performance. Luton Town are not favored at all but that doesn't mean they are unable to put up a tough fight. Lower level clubs sometimes like to surprise us, especially when Man United visits Luton Town headquarters. Of course, the probability of victory is 75% in Man United's hands, depending on whether they can maximize the opportunities they have on the field. Man United's back line is in full rotation so there will definitely be a bit of instability.

Every game will definitely result in defeat or victory, so it is not surprising that the draw score experienced by Manchester City tonight will have an impact on the fight for the throne of the Premier League this season, but that does not mean that Manchester City has lost this opportunity, in fact, Manchester City still has a very open opportunity. the reason is that they are only 4 points away from the top of the league, Liverpool, because this season there is still a long way to go for Liverpool and Arsenal, so at least there is still hope for Manchester City in the race for the title this season.

consistent performance which was expected from the start of the season but could only be done in the second half of the season when it was almost close to the end of the season and Man United had an advantage recently, being able to get 3 consecutive wins and today playing against a much weaker team, even Man United advantage plus when competing at home.
this time Ten Hag was given a lot of praise after successfully maintaining the consistency of the players and against Luton it was not a difficult task, just use an attacking strategy I am sure I can score at least 2 scores or even more in that match.
but it should be noted that Man United defense needs to pay a little attention to guard against Luton making a comeback.

after successfully getting several wins, it looks like Man United will end the season like last season as I said in the first half of this season, maybe Ten Hag looks bad, but we'll see when it comes to the end of the season, Ten Hag can definitely bring Man United to a position to the top 3 or get 4th place in the standings.

Manchester United have a good winning streak of three games in the Premier League. This game is technically another opportunity to maintain this form.

But they should still be very careful against Luton. Because there have been interesting performances by Luton recently against Brighton and Newcastle. Luton scored 4 goals against each one of these opponents. As Manchester United defense isn't in very good condition this season they need to be extra careful. I feel like they will concede a goal anyway but still manage to win by 2-1 or a similar score. On a week Tottenham got a defeat Manchester United should benefit from this.

Expected garnacho to play as starting line up. Ten hag feels so damn good with his performance and tominay too. I prefer to see united to put varane to be placed as CB with meguire. These are the best combination for now. I don't even see a better combination better than it.
The game from manchester united will be quite entertaining. Luton seems always go fully offensive against its opponent. Another test for united. Im waiting to see the official line up for this game.

My prediction Manchester United will continue their winning trend and make record four winning match in a row after two winning matches before against Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa.

I can't really say whether mu will be totally dominating the game but from what i have seen that if luton can be considered as a strong club too. It was always giving tough games against some big clubs. So, don't underestimate this team first before we are seeing the gameplay that will be showing by luton.
Im still wondering what factor that makes luton to perform even better like that. It's caused by it's still remains unpredictable. Manchester united was performing very well in the previous games but who knows if it will be bottling the next game against luton./
Let's see whether onana will get the same luck as the previous game.

[Leviathan.007]

Tottenham lost the game against Wolverhampton and after all the good performance we saw from them during this season which made this team to be even in the first place in the premier league for some weeks, but the game they lost was not a hard game for them. Tottenham was playing against Wolverhampton at home and this could be a good advantage for them to win this match but this time Postecoglou and his players lost the game because of the good performance of João Gomes who scored two goals in this game.

[Die_empty]

I also didn't expect that I would be able to take the lead in the first half when facing Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, because before the match started I also thought that Chelsea would be completely slaughtered by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. However, in reality it turned around until their match ended in a draw and thanks to that draw, now Manchester City have to fight again to be superior to Liverpool because Manchester City still hasn't played its 25th match this season.

I also never expected that Chelsea would take the lead while Manchester City would start struggling to level up the score. I spoke with a friend who is a core City fan and he asked that we should engage in a bet but I was scared that Chelsea would not be able to withstand the City attack. The last time both teams met Chelsea was in a very good shape while City was experiencing some low time. So I had expected that with the current form of City, Chelsea would have been whitewashed. But this was not the case because Chelsea exceeded everybody's expectations.

Chelsea was able to defend properly and also forced City to defend by engaging in some dangerous counter-attacking runs. Axel Disasi was the best defender while Conor Gallagher did well in marking out Rodri. Both Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and City's Erling Haaland were very wasteful, if not the game should have produced more than two goals. Chelsea still maintains its tenth position while Manchester City just lost two golden points in Etihad that would have made them close the gap on Liverpool and Arsenal.

[rendravolt]

Liverpool, Arsenal or even Manchester United have considered Chelsea as heroes in last night's match because they managed to hold Manchester City to a draw. No one expected that Pep Guardiola's squad would be held to a draw by Chelsea at the Etihad stadium and perhaps this would be a major blow for the hosts because they failed to secure full points.

Chelsea even took the lead before the first half ended and it was clearly surprising to many parties how Manchester City, which is famous for its ball possession and tight pressing, could concede first. They are not their usual self and there are many wasted opportunities. Manchester City even had to struggle to equalize and were lucky they were still able to get the goal back. If not, it is certain that Manchester City will lose at home and it will be a shame that the one who beats is Chelsea. Well, this result means Liverpool and Arsenal can breathe a sigh of relief because now Manchester City has a gap that they have to reduce in order to occupy the top position.

Manchester City were really not impressive. I thought maybe Chelsea's scoring first would fire up Manchester City players for the win. But they still struggled too much to score the equalizer. Haaland wasted a huge goal chance by a header. If that header ended up with a goal then maybe Manchester City would have had more time for a comeback.

Manchester City have really been struggling to get comfortable wins against Chelsea home in the recent years. They were still able to get 1-0 wins before but this time it ended up with a draw. This is a really good job for a Chelsea which are having tough days. 

I also agree that the first goal from Chelsea could increase Manchester City's attack to be more solid, but the results as we know are still very less than expected. Haaland's opportunity felt wasted and even after the match ended there was a camera showing his face which was so disappointed and he immediately rejected the camera because he felt like he had failed in this match.

One Chelsea player who should be appreciated in this match is Axel Disasi because thanks to his key role in defense, Chelsea's goal was safe from being conceded. He repeatedly stopped the movements of Manchester City players and he did it very carefully. I think if not for that Chelsea could have lost against Manchester City and maybe since under Pochettino he has become a better defender. I almost forgot, Axel Disasi was also the MOTM in last night's tight match and I think he deserved it.

I also believe that Man United will win this match. They got off to a slow start this season but have begun to pick up the pace recently. Man United have finally found a bit of stability after a turbulent start to the season. It seems that coach Erik Ten Hag has found a winning formula. Now, MU only has Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia with long-term injuries. With stable performance and a healthy squad with the return of key players, MU is confident of defeating rookie Luton. Regarding the Luton Town team, they should understand that they must make a lot of effort to stay in the Premier League next season.

Tottenham loss to wolves on their home ground was a big blow reducing their chance of holding the fifth position on the table or even moving forward, with Manchester united just behind them in the sixth position with 6points difference it's an opportunity to draw closer if they can win Luton in today's game it's just going to be a 3points difference between them and Tottenham.

Luton has been good with getting goals in their just recent games and Manchester united needs to intimidate them by getting more of the goals against Luton since United is known for its weak defense which obviously actually means that goals are inevitable in this game from both teams .

[SmartCharpa]

Liverpool secured a big win, but Klopp has reasons to worry as Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, and Darwin Núñez all got injured in the first half. Are more injuries on the way? That's the main concern. It won't be easy, but Liverpool need to keep pushing and hoping for the best.
With just 5-point lead at the top of the Premier League,

Liverpool have an amazing away win. Brentford is a weak opponent compared with Liverpool, but I don't think Liverpool will win the very easily, instead, I think they will struggle. In his comeback game against Brentford, Mohamed Salah scored one goal with one assist. The bad news for Klopp is that his players picked up another injury, and we don't know how serious it is. However, Liverpool needs to play very seriously right now because Arsenal is currently behind them with 55 points, if Liverpool mistakenly lose any of their remaining games, Arsenal will pass them because the gap is currently only two points. Don't we think that Arsenal can win the league this season?

Liverpool could end up just 1 point behind the top spot if Man City win their two games in hand. I sees Man City will win those matches.

Unfortunately, Manchester City did not win as we anticipated against Chelsea. Although they still have one game remaining, even though they win the match they will not pass Liverpool because of their draw with Chelsea. As I mentioned before, when Chelsea face Manchester City they use to become serious in their game, the first meeting ending in a draw and the second match also ending in a draw.

I watch that match from start to finish and most of the pundit and even you guys are busy talking about the missed opportunity by haland, no body have talked about the wastefulness of the Chelsea team, especially Jackson and how the game would have been over even before man city start building momentum in their attacking play.

Though I never expected Chelsea to win this game from the start, but during the cause of the game, I felt like Chelsea have more chances of winning than man city, so to me their wastefulness in front of goal cost them the 3 point.

True this is not over and there are still many opportunities in the upcoming fight, maybe this is unlucky day for Manchester City because previously we predicted that Manchester City would win easily. As I said before Liverpool must be happy with this result because they are still on the right track and continue the struggle for the title.

Liverpool and Arsenal would definitely be happy for the point dropped, the league is still long so there is still an opportunity to make up for the point loss. They would also hope Liverpool and Arsenal drop points soon in order to have the opportunity to take the lead.

Every game will definitely result in defeat or victory, so it is not surprising that the draw score experienced by Manchester City tonight will have an impact on the fight for the throne of the Premier League this season, but that does not mean that Manchester City has lost this opportunity, in fact, Manchester City still has a very open opportunity. the reason is that they are only 4 points away from the top of the league, Liverpool, because this season there is still a long way to go for Liverpool and Arsenal, so at least there is still hope for Manchester City in the race for the title this season.

The Premier League often has surprises and this is quite common in football and it is true that this season still has a long way to go and Manchester City still has a chance and even because of this draw, the point difference is quite thin between the 3 top teams at the moment, Arsenal. , Liverpool and also Manchester City.
However, it cannot be denied that the results of this draw were quite disappointing for Manchester City because they were in top performance but were unable to beat the Chelsea team which was in decline, mentally and the team's self-confidence will have an impact, but we'll see in the next match whether Pep Guardiola was able to rekindle the enthusiasm of his players.
