Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

What an early goal for Manchester united as Hojiluud scored the first goal in the match on the 1st minutes of the game, due to the error made by Luton defender. It will take Luton a lot to correct that error to equalize the game. Manchester united is really taking advantage oof the early goal as Rashford almost score another goal but it hit the goal post. Luton needs to be careful so that they don't concede a lot of goals in the first 20 minutes of the match. Gnarcho has scgored the second goal on the 6th minutes with a good strike. A wonderful start for Manchester united. Two goals in 6mins.

Luton 0-2 Man United.

The two goals that Manchester United had were made by Hojlund, while Garnacho only made assists for Hojlund's second goal. But at least, if we consider from the statistics in this half time, the reality is that Luton is still able to have good dominance too . Or maybe, because of Manchester United position that has taken the lead, so that makes Mancehster United reduce the intensity of the attack so that Luton can dominate the match.

But yes, basically Manchester United in the last few matches have good results and thus, the trend of Manchester United is indeed good in this match and at this moment . Therefore, it is a normal result if that Manchester United will get full points in this match because after all, the reality is that Luton is also not a strong team so it is appropriate for Manchester United to win in this match.

Less than 30 minutes Manchester United is already leading with 2 goals. I can see how protective Luton has been playing. They want to score more goals to protect the glory of their fans since it is their home. Regardless of that they are also struggling to see if they may end the game with a draw or win..

Manchester United has been playing extremely well in their last three games. I wont be surprised if they win this game. The red devils are truly up and doing these days. However, the hope of winning the league is no more there but they have to qualify for next season UCL so they need to be among the first five finishers.

Man United is leading 2-1 for the time being, but in terms of performance, Luton is still much better than Man United. I think if Man United continues to play like that in the second half, then it will provide a good opportunity for Luton to catch up or even turn things around. As we saw in the first half, Man United seemed to be playing without a well-organized rhythm. There were no good passes and they even seemed to be in a rush when building attacks, so it wasn't difficult for Luton to anticipate it.

Usually Luton at home is always confident even though they may now be behind a goal but their chances are still there even though many people's expectations remain that Manchester United will win but they are fortunate with the two goals so they are a little calm in the first half.
It will not be surprising if Luton equalize their game so insistent in their attacks too, still even though the game of domination is more defeated I still have a feeling that Manchester United can win.

The results achieved by Manchester City this week are very favorable for Liverpool, they now have a distance of 4 points. Although Manchester City still have 1 match yet to play, but even if they win they will still be below Liverpool by 1 point. Arsenal also benefited from what Manchester City achieved, it opened up their chances even greater to be able to compete for the Premier League title. The Premier League this season is becoming more interesting, Manchester City are not as great as last season, and at the same time Liverpool can also return to their best game.

It cannot be denied that this draw is very detrimental for Manchester City and profitable for Liverpool and Arsenal, but I like this because now because Manchester City's draw has made the competition between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City even more fierce.

I never thought that Manchester City would fail to win against Chelsea, they were playing at home, they were in top form and they were also playing with their full squad, but this is football, lots of surprises happened that we didn't imagine before.

I agree that it made it so much more sweet, but also it wasn't really that far off before this neither. If they won, they would be still close to everyone and a loss in another game would have the same result anyway. Now it's them behind, it would be them at the top but it's the same logic.

All in all, I am expecting City to have the title again, it will be harder now with this situation but I am guessing that they are going to be fine in the end. It is not going to be all that hard for them to handle it. They have won it so many times before, and they should probably be able to win it again this year as well. I am not really expecting them to have any changes anytime soon, they should be able to get it one way or another.

I had quite a doubt whether Manchester City would win this match. So I refrained myself from betting on this match. Manchester City were favorites in this match. City players were in great form. Also the match was City's home match. Therefore, City was kept ahead in this match from all aspects.

But Chelsea performed well in the home match. They drew the match against City 4-4. Chelsea played for a draw in the away match as well. Their main aim was to keep the defense strong. and trying to score from counter attacks. Chelsea's match strategy was good. They managed to keep their defense strong. And the Chelsea players were able to mount several excellent counter attacks in the match.

Chelsea performed beyond expectations, I didn't expect Chelsea to show their best performance at home to Manchester City.
To be honest, I bet big on Man City winning because I saw Man City's last few matches which were quite good and I thought they were in top form so I was very confident but no one knows what is happening in football, of course the result of this draw is quite detrimental for Man City who are competing fiercely at the top of the standings in the title race with Liverpool and Arsenal.

We have seen some excellent performances from Manchester City players in the last few matches. De Bruyne played very well. So Manchester City won easily. City's players performed similarly against Chelsea. But none of us expected Chelsea's defenders to perform so well in this match. They repelled every attack from the City players. However, I doubt if Chelsea can maintain the consistency of such performance. However, if the Chelsea players can maintain such consistency, they will be able to win the upcoming matches as well. Chelsea may be able to come within 7/8 of the points table.

Man United have started to find a turning point in their game, Hojlund's contribution was very big in this match. He proved that he could compete with Haaland, who last season was the Premier League's top scorer.
And Man United should be able to easily beat Luton in this match. The most important thing is to maintain the consistency of the back line, especially since Maguire has also started to show a positive trend with his performance.
Onana always has a bad record in almost every match, I get dizzy watching his performance on the field. Bayindir should deserve to be given the opportunity to be in the starting eleven.

Now... EPL competition is tighter, points are not that different, Arsenal have the same chance but when they meet a big team then that's what all the top teams will worry about, who wins then they will stay afloat.

The result Man City vs Chelsea draw was well utilized by Arsenal. Currently they are able to be number two in the temporary rankings. Arsenal beat Burnley 5-0 and I saw Bukayo Saka perform very well. He managed to make 2 goals and became Man of the Match. Even if you look at the statistics in 2024, Bukayo Saka has played 5 times with 6 goals scored. Although it's not the end, at least ARsenal has proven again that they are one of the potential EPL champions.

[Marykeller]

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.

The goal chances Chelsea lost against Manchester City, if they had utilized those chances, Chelsea would have gone home with the 3 points. It is so pitiful that they miss those golden chances to score more than two goals.
Chelsea put many of us in awe at their performance. Almost everyone's prediction was a win for Manchester City since the match was at Etihad and Manchester had the best form than Chelsea.
Manchester City couldn't believe with their eyes that Chelsea would hold them to a draw and also deny them of the continuation of the top position of the PL table.

[Oluwa-btc]

Arsenal played a wonderful football against another struggling promoted side Burnley and it ended 0-5 which made some of not all the Burnley fans to leave the stadium before the end of the game.
Sake scored 2 goals in that encounter and it was a very easy and interesting game for Arsenal players too but with the way Saka has been playing, started his football career with the Gunners and he scored so many goals and assist. It got me wondering if Saka is a world class player or an upcoming world class player (if there's something like that) from how he has been playing I don't know if I can see him among world class player, is he?

Saka should be the fifth highest goal scorer in the Premier League standing as we speak, he's been gradually rewarded for his hardwork this season with these goals he's scored for the gunners. What I pray for him is to not to fall prey to Injury and remain consistent as he goes on this season. He been a good source of goalscoring for Arsenal you know.
It's obviously a good game from them and another player I love is Martin Odegaard, those who saw that game without giving him flowers yesterday are all doing wrong. He's been a good chance creator this season for Arsenal.

Porto in the next few days in the Champions League Competition you know, Arsenal should at least show some strength against them Portuguese side who's disturbed them before now.

[DanWalker]

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.

Chelsea has really performed well against Manchester City to actually get 1 point from this match. yes, I definitely agree that football is full of surprises. Nobody expected Chelsea to actually get 1 point from this match. But they got it and it was definitely surprising.

No, I highly doubt that Chelsea will actually be able to continue performing well even though this one point should give them a lot of confidence. In my opinion, Chelsea has been a team that is really inconsistent. So it is really hard to trust them with anything. Even though they have been able to get one point from this match, there is a huge possibility that they will lose the next match again regardless of which opponent they play. But the next match in the English Premier League is against Brentford. So there is definitely a chance for Chelsea to win. But again as I said they are inconsistent.

[Weawant]

Manchester united did had a good day and I love the fact that they were able to win but then they could have gotten more goals if they had put in some more efforts but then they didn't put in the much needed effort that could give them an extra goal to win with a good goal margin but securing three points was most important.

Luton did performed well too, their play was satisfactory and such that I could say they would have been able to get a draw against Manchester united at some points but then they were not able to break the solid defense of Manchester united which was well guarded not to concede more goals, onanan is showing very slight sign of improvement but I'm yet to be very convinced if he can really keep up with a good performance after now, I would want to see him have some more clean sheets then I can say for sure he's improved.

Manchester United was fortunate to grab significant points from Luton Town. They came for the winning points and they successfully achieved their target, though it comes with hefty hardwork and defensive strategies from the players and Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United players did make actual errors but with defensive backup, they redeemed themselves and points out victory. They kove an ede on the EPL table and they now aim for the top four this season. Rasmus Højlund is the man of the match because he netted a brace in the early minutes of the game.

[bitpotter]

Many opportunities were wasted and Manchester United won quite convincingly at home to Luton today. Seeing Manchester United so consistent is very pleasing and they have succeeded in getting this team back on the right path. Luton could have equalized but unfortunately they could only reply with one goal. Hojlund again showed his quality by scoring 2 goals for the Red Devils to win.

They misused a lot of chances that was suppose to be converted a goal. Especially Gnarcho, I don't know what happened to his legs that he couldn't score any goal, even when he had a one-on-one with Luton's goalkeeper. It should have ended 4-1, because Luton left their defense porous looking for how they will equalize the goal.

Manchester united took total control of the second half, unlike the way that they were playing unstable in the first half. Manchester united have won four games in a role currently, and this is a good performance from the red devils.

[rahmad2nd]

A wonderful start for Manchester united. Two goals in 6mins.

Luton 0-2 Man United.

Hojlund played really well in this match, the first goal was created as a result of a blunder by one of Luton's defenders. entering the 7th minute, Hojlund was able to make good use of Garnacho's kick and scored his second goal against Luton. In short, this match ended with a 1-2 chord. unfortunately, United were only able to score two goals despite having 21 total shots, of which 9 were on target. But no matter how many goals are scored, the points are still 3, and United did a good job in this match. however, several United players did not play with their best performance. Casemiro and Maquire played very underperformed. at least, the second layer played quite well. yeah at least, Mctomicay and Jonny Evan performed well enough as Ten Hag wanted. apart from that, Hojlund started to look good following the rhythm of the Red Devil's game. with this result, United are now only 3 points adrift of Spurs who are above the ranking they occupy. the following week, Man United will host Ful Ham. if United's players are still filled with almost all their starting level players, then Erik Ten Hag's team should be able to continue its positive trend in the remaining Premier League matches. by the way, this match matched my previous predictions.

Manchester United without doubt was impressive against Luton Town in their English Premier League game this afternoon but considering their performance in the game, I expected them to win the game with a wider margin than but was surprised to see them waste so many clear chances in the game.
Rasmund Hojlund I think have finally found his form at the club and if he can continue with his current goal scoring form, he might be fighting for the golden boot award with other top strikers in the league.
Again, Manchester United manager who was heavily criticized at the start of the season because of the club's poor start to the season deserves to  be praised for improving the performance and results of the club in recent games. The Dutch manager seems like he's finally found the club's best playing pattern and it's really helping them at the moment

Yep Manutd defend well in the 2nd half, but if the opponent is other big teams - Im not sure Manutd able to hold like that.
But still, its a sign of progress and Manutd is far more better than last year. The incoming of Sir Jim Ratcliffe" really bring positive energy for Manutd.

[QueenVera]

Guys, the match brighton vs sheffield has already started.

Brighton shows usual performance and it puts ball possession as the main target to be achieved. De zerbi seems never try to change his strategy to be on point strategy. The ball possession strategy seems an old strategy. Sheffield may able to win against brighton as long as it will always implement defensive strategy.
Playing low block becomes the key point to get three points from brighton. Brighton is always owning the ball but it never makes proper attack. Sheffield can always wait for the golden moment to happen.

Brighton's strategy is very monoton. This club keeps to use the same strategy since last season. Im only wondering whether zerbi never feels bored to keep use same strategy anytime. The situation is always the same. More than 10 minutes wasted to see brighton did backpass.
This club played shitty ball. No doubt that it can be beaten by the big club easily. Brighton's strategy can be predicted easily. This is the main problem that must be solved by zerbi. Things are different after its players were scoring two goals.

Sheffield can't keep up against brighton with its low quality defenders. Brighton will get three points in this game. it's hard for sheffield to equalize the score since brighton is always owning the ball.

Well unfortunately the match has ended and Brighton have used this their old strategy to out Sheffield United. Sheffield United are now officially the worst club in the EPL as they’ve conceded crazy amount of goals. This style might seem old but against a weak team like Sheffield, it’s an old style of play that’s sure to deliver. I think the coach of Brighton should try to improve on his style of play because against bigger teams who’re more organized, they’ll sure oust this Brighton side.

 Football requires dynamics and as so there must be change in the tactics applied by the coach because most times a club get used to the tactics usually used and find a perfect way to counter the tactics. Brighton is building up and now they must try to adapt to different systems and style of they want to flourish especially in a competitive league like the EPL.

Chelsea has really performed well against Manchester City to actually get 1 point from this match. yes, I definitely agree that football is full of surprises. Nobody expected Chelsea to actually get 1 point from this match. But they got it and it was definitely surprising.

No, I highly doubt that Chelsea will actually be able to continue performing well even though this one point should give them a lot of confidence. In my opinion, Chelsea has been a team that is really inconsistent. So it is really hard to trust them with anything. Even though they have been able to get one point from this match, there is a huge possibility that they will lose the next match again regardless of which opponent they play. But the next match in the English Premier League is against Brentford. So there is definitely a chance for Chelsea to win. But again as I said they are inconsistent.

I wasn't surprised at Chelsea's performance yesterday, Chelsea Plays well against Manchester city right from time. I told my friends earlier that Chelsea wouldn't lose that match and Chelsea proved me right, although Chelsea lost a lot of useful chances that would've seen that Manchester city was defeated properly, but they didn't convert it, Haaland lost two very good opportunities to equalize the goal and put city ahead, but he lost it. Enzo and Nkunku did the same too. The two  teams had good opportunities, but wasted it.  City fought hard for the equalizer and was lucky enough to get the deflection from Dasisi to get back on level terms.

The game was very competitive and entertaining, both teams played really well and shared the points. Very good performance from both teams

[SmartCharpa]

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.

We have seen how Haaland has helped his team this season by scoring a lot of goals. However, in my opinion, we shouldn't blame him for the opportunities he missed over in their match against Chelsea. If any players in that game deserve the blame, it should be Jackson and Sterling. Nicolas Jackson's spoil the one on one he has with the Manchester City goalkeeper, i thought he will even score the goal. If Pochettino wants more goals, he should continue using Nkunku as a striker instead of Jackson, who didn't deserve to play the position. Sterling took advantage of one of his opportunities to score, and I don't think he should keep using Jackson as a striker to continue losing their chances of scoring goals.

The Chelsea players should take advantage of the chances they have missed, and I think they will return home with three points. Everyone expected that the outcome of this second game would be different because Manchester City would be hosting Chelsea, which would allow Manchester City to make it through and get three points. However, the game didn't turn out the way we expected.

[jakdanyel]

But still, its a sign of progress and Manutd is far more better than last year. The incoming of Sir Jim Ratcliffe" really bring positive energy for Manutd.

There is really a silver lining for Manchester United considering their last performances.    This is their 4th win in a row in the Premier League. Hojlund is in a great form recently which is also a huge help for the team. He has finally started to prove his skills here as well. Otherwise he was already doing very good in the Champions League before.

Finishing in top 4 isn't a dream for them mathematically. But it won't be an easy task surely. They will need to keep this up while hoping for Tottenham and Aston Villa both losing points. There are still 13 more weeks for the end of the season.
