Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[entertheabyss]

I think the different this season.Manchester City has been doing well but has also losing points in quite so many games so they are not as strong as they used to be in the last season so Manchester United has real chances here as this game remains a derby.In the late years almost every time Manchester City has won the game yet I think today may be a different surprise,if City loses this game it can only make the Premier League title much more colorful than it already is.I also am afraid with Onana and I don't know what happened to him as in Serie A he made so many great saves yet in here he is having difficulties.

The EPL title race is between Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. These are the important clubs that's taking up level and having good matches results. It's a Manchester derby and we expects both sides to be fierce and competitive when it comes to performance. Erik Ten Hag already given his speech and he's concerned with playing against Pep Guardiola. We know the formidable ground formed by Manchester City and at Etihad stadium. Manchester City should come first when talking about the team that would grab significant winning.

Man City vs Man United
Blue vs Red, surely many are supporting Man City to win, even google wrote 77% predictions for Man City's victory 14% draw and 9% Man United will win. Under the circumstances this is very reasonable. Seeing the current condition Man City is not in good condition. Man City seems to be hunting for a win to keep the points difference with Liverpool. I feel Man United will only rely on counterattacks.

Manchester city will win this match to achieve another three points from Manchester united, I believe you know that they have defeated Manchester united before in this season and based on the squads Manchester city manager is using to start this match, show that victory will be the portion of Manchester city. I believe you know that De Bruyne and Erling Haaland has recovered from injuries to be part of this match, and it will be one of the advantage that will make the match to end up for the favour of Manchester city to remain in the second position in the premier league table.  Based on what Manchester united has displayed in their last match, I think they will score goals from this match but Manchester city will defeat them 3-2 to make their fans happy again.

Yeah we can say this is luck and magic, the goal came in the last seconds. At first I thought Liverpool had missed 2 points in this match and Manchester City was ready to take over the standings but Darwin Nunez came like an angel to be the savior  I have to say that I was happy to see Liverpool win because I want to see them win the league this season. Next, Liverpool must be ready to face the big matches ahead against Manchester City on March 10, we call it a battle for the top of the standings.

Liverpool are on fire but they actually struggle to get a win against Nottingham Forest. This is suppose to be a club were the Reds will easily dominate and nets good number of goals but reverse becomes the case. Liverpool maintain their position after the intervention of the Uruguayan international, he's always available to deliver his club. Darwin Núñez represents today and he was one rated to be the MOTM because he's the player that made the difference on Liverpool ends. Everyone thought they ended 0-0 but with Darwin Núñe, all hope are not lost.

I don't mind if this match liverpool was struiggling to get points but i think this will be different in the upcoming game. Didn't you aware how nottingham forest was always creating the wall? The low block team is the most difficult team to be beaten caused by they were playing passively without even caring what result they will get.
FYI, this strategy prevent offensive team to score and nunez did it through heading the accurate long pass to the back of the net. Attacking through crossing and long ball was the only way to beat the low block club. Liverpool has been trying so hard through the open play and it was always failed.
NO reason to call liverpool play badly caused by it has been showing that if the club did it. I don't mind how struggle they were in beating it but i was satisfied with the result got by liverpool.

IM willing to mention how good the performance from kelleher in this game. I think he is far better compared to the allison. Liverpool has made many chances but i must admit that if nottingham forest was always consistnetly defending against its opponent.
The club puts the wall in front of the goal keeper and it was always counter attacking back its opponent when liverpool failed to buy an attack. There was a moment when goal keeper one on one against notingham's player but this attacker is so stupid.
It's fucking crazy to see liverpool scored in the last minute. it means that the club is still performing very well.

You're right liverpool almost draw the match yesterday if not for the help of Darwin nunez, I don't know what would have become of them.not'for is always tough when they are at home,is very hard for a bigger team to win them in there home, liverpool started struggling from the first half of the game but the effort was not successful.had it been they draw the match against not'for, there possibility of wining the trophy would have been 20% but now they get not'for eliminated I guess the possibility will increase to 70% that's if they maintain this form.

It must be klopp's responsibility to help club avoid to perform like the match against forest in the future match. Liverpool will have hard fixtures and it must be solved. There have been many chances were wasted. I must say that if liverpool was not lucky enough in this game before nunez was coming with his only goal to help liverpool get three points.
It was so amazing to see liverpool able to get three point when the game has only one minute remaining. It's hard to believe but that's happened. I was watching the second half and it was so amazing. Many liverpool supporters were not only happy but they were also feeling so satisfied with a goal from nunez.

I think that liverpool should not think about how many goals made in any games but the club must focus on how to win the game. It's caused by we are heading toward the end of season. The defensive strategy forced liverpool to play carefully and it was also making liverpool rarely had effective attack against forest.
EPL trophy is not a battle about how many goals scored by your club but it's about how consistent you are in getting three points in any game. Liverpool can win with narrow score as long as it can keep win till last match and it will win EPL trophy this season.

I can't even believe that how team that was struggling at the early season could make its comeback this fast. Thanks for klopp that has already made it happen with liverpool. Nunez is performing so amazingly in this game. He deserves credit from whole of liverpool fans.

[Oluwa-btc]

Sean Dyche is not the problem of Everton, the management has not brought money to buy quality players that will deliver well for the team. Everton has been battling the relegation zones for more than 3 seasons now, if you have been following Everton closely you will understand what am saying. Everton squad needs overhauling. Sean Dyche is really doing a good job for them if you ask me. But there is no good coach that will perform magic when the squad is too weak.

Aye' I haven't followed up the Toffees closing this season, or should I say the second half of it. I've only known Sean to be very defensive and how he's got to powers of raising a club almost done and would be relegated sooner or later.
Maybe the overhaul would be perfect but I've seen they'd also be seeing some of them players leaving too like Onana the midfielder and then the young defending player who has been linked with a move to Manchester United ( Branthewaite ) I know more would follow suit but these are the few or two I'm quite certain about.

Ever since Carlo Ancellotti left them, they haven't done so well in the Premier League Competition. I wouldn't want to see the haters of my enemy (Liverpool ) getting relegated lol.

A draw today between Manchester City and Manchester United would be a win more like three points for Manchester United. Lol. Hopefully they don't fold!

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

There are only two games in the Premier League today. But even if there were more games, I would prefer to watch Manchester City v Manchester United. Manchester City are currently 4 points behind Liverpool. If they win this game, both teams will have played 27 games in the league and the points difference will drop to 1. Technically we can say there is a 1 point difference. But there is a derby match today. And the results of derby matches are always open to surprise results. I will support Manchester United in this match because I want Liverpool to be champions. But actually, I see Manchester City as the favorite based on their performances in recent matches. Since I am very undecided, I will bet on both teams to score.

[fuguebtc]

"It was the first time, that was audibly clear, that Chelsea supporters had chanted directly about Mauricio Pochettino"



Chelsea fans are no longer keen to see Pochettino as coach. Chelsea management is not getting the expected results despite changing the coach several times. Chelsea management should definitely hire an experienced coach. But before that they must give the coach complete freedom to build his squad. I think the Chelsea management does not allow the coach to work independently. And that's why Chelsea's form has been poor for the last few seasons. Chelsea are now considered an average team in the Premier League.

Chelsea failed to win against Brentford. The match was drawn 2-2. But I watched the match. I don't think Chelsea's performance was too bad. Gradually the team is improving. Chelsea dominated the match with 69% ball possession. But they have several wrong hairs. Pochettino will definitely need to strengthen Chelsea's defence. It is very difficult to perform well in the Premier League if the defense is not strong.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Personally I think Chelsea's main problem is their management. And if you notice, Chelsea's misery started after the change of management. The message should not only blame the coach. We will not see the good condition of Chelsea if the internal conflict of their management is not resolved.

In the management of Chelsea, I don’t want to believe that the problem solely lies with Pochettino alone, but I also want to believe that the management has a role to play. This might be the reason why they have not been performing as expected this season. I feel they need to do more, especially after tonight’s match, where even Real Madrid had to settle for a draw with Valencia, just like Chelsea had to settle for a draw in the West London derby.
I see Chelsea struggling to meet expectations, although they have performed well in the Carabao Cup. They reached the final, but unfortunately couldn’t win, as Liverpool, the Reds, have been the winning champions of the Carabao Cup for a while now. This demonstrates their capability, although they fell short.
In my opinion, what the management needs to do is to pull themselves together, work as a team, support the manager, Pochettino, in his role, and ensure that everyone, including the assistant coach, works collaboratively. This will make the club more effective.

You are right that coach Pochettino should not be solely blamed for Chelsea's poor performance. Because Chelsea's performance has been weak since Pochettino became the coach. Chelsea were 12th in the points table last season. And Chelsea is tenth in the table this season. This group is not weak. But their performance is erratic. Coach Pochettino could not strengthen the bonding between the players. But there are also many other problems within the Chelsea club. All heads of management must be united. To be discussed with coaches and players. Find out what the team's problems are and then try to solve them. Changing coaches alone will not solve Chelsea's problems.

I don't want to go into the argument that Thomas Tuchel is a bad coach or a good coach. But Thomas Tuchel was successful with Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel helped Chelsea win the Champions League despite being a mediocre team. I don't understand why Chelsea management sacked such a successful coach.

Well, the truth is, working as the Chelsea manager comes with a lot of responsibilities. For instance, tonight, we saw Chelsea fans putting pressure on Pochettino due to the outcome of the match. This makes it even more important for the management to support the manager during times like these. I believe it is crucial for the management to come together and analyze why things are not working properly. Finding solutions collaboratively and providing support to the coach will be essential. So, I feel like this is the direction they should take.

I agree with you. Yesterday we saw Chelsea fans calling for coach Pochettino to leave Chelsea. As Chelsea are not playing well. It's natural that fans will be angry. We have seen such fanaticism in football many times in the past. Chelsea management should have supported coach Pochettino. and giving him full freedom to let himself be. But the Chelsea management doesn't seem to do that.

The relegation survival battle in the English Premier League this season is much more boring as compared to the last few seasons, the defense of the three newly promoted teams are just way too horrible to watch as they are always struggling to maintain a clean sheet even when they are playing at their home turf against their opponents.

Out of the three newly promoted teams, the fighting spirit of Luton Town is truly remarkable as they are able to score 2 goals past Aston Villa yesterday despite missing their top scorer Elijah Adebayo for the match due to injury. It seems lady luck are siding with Aston Villa yesterday as they did somehow managed to snatch a win from the hands of Luton Town by scoring a late goal.

The premier league is a competitive league that hardly accumulates clubs that are weak in their frontline down to their defense. That's why you find it to be clubs(3) that came in to participate in it from league one hardly survive more than a season.

Luton, Burnley, and Sheff United will certainly be kicked out from the premier league and Nottm Forest might go in replace of Luton if care is not taken.

Luton had a beautiful comeback against Aston Villa in the second half of the match by equalizing the 2 goals defeat in the first half. I don't know why they failed to secure a draw point(1) than leaving with nothing at their home match.

Let's see what Luton will gat to do in their upcoming away match against Crystal Palace. A win or a draw will be welcomed not a loss match because that will reduce their chances of stepping above Nottm Forest in the relegation zone

[knowngunman]

It was all attacking by Liverpool and defending by Nottm. I at the moment thought it was going to be a draw but Nunez did succeed in giving the rebounded ball direction of the net at the last minute. More than anything, they saved the humiliation of being drawn by a team fighting against relegation and being replaced by Man city on the 1st position.
Another unpredicted result was the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Brentford. This further undermines the chelsea's position.

Only God can tell how Liverpool will feel like when Klopp eventually leaves. The mentality he has instilled in this Liverpool team is top notch, he has instilled sense of fighting into his players and will definitely be missed seriously. The fight wasn't an easy one for both teams but Forest couldn't withstand the pressure until the end and Liverpool despite the odds, never relent to keep the hopes of winning the league alive. It was a lucky escape for Liverpool at the late minutes though some of the players performance was below standard especially Gakpo.

As for Chelsea, no one cares about them anymore including the club owner and the management. Hence, they play whatever they feel like playing and not worrying about whichever result they get at the end because they are not longer a team with focus and pattern of play. How they celebrated their second goal still baffled me, celebrating a draw with a relegation battling team who has lost consecutive matches is actually a pity.

[piebeyb]

I can't even believe that how team that was struggling at the early season could make its comeback this fast. Thanks for klopp that has already made it happen with liverpool. Nunez is performing so amazingly in this game. He deserves credit from whole of liverpool fans.

Klopp has managed to keep Liverpool consistent since the start of the season until now even though it is only a small difference from Manchester City but he can make Liverpool be at the top of the standings and compete for the title this season, obviously this is very difficult but he displays all kinds of strategies to be implemented for his team, like the match shown today, it was certainly very dramatic against Nottingham Forest. If the result was a draw, it would definitely knock them out of the top of the standings, but Nunez finished his job at the end of the match.

Liverpool are just waiting for the results of Manchester City's match with Manchester United, even though Manchester United can't beat Manchester City, they can make it difficult for Manchester City to get full points today and will make it difficult for Manchester City to catch up on the points difference with Liverpool so that Liverpool can breathe a sigh of relief to head to end of the season with the EPL title this season which of course has been dominated by Manchester City for several seasons, Klopp has been very instrumental for Liverpool.

[Arenga pinnata]

Last season Todd Boehly was too hasty in making the decision to fire the coach. which resulted in 3 coach changes last season. But this season it seems Todd Boehly has become more patient. As if he still trusts Pochettino. But from several reports circulating since last year, Pocchetino is actually in a position where he could be fired at any time even though his contract is long. But the club seems to want to give him the opportunity until the end of the season. because changing the coach now is not only financially good and will also not be good for the balance of the squad that has been built. Because changing coaches will always make the players adapt again to a new coaching style and yes, this could make Chelsea worse if they choose the wrong coach. So I personally quite agree that Pocchettino should be kept at least until the end of the season.

He was not only firing a few coaches, todd has been also fired many of chelsea staff during abramovich era. As far as i know that when potter was coming to the chelsea and be brought so many staf from brighton to join in the chelsea. The club was also kicking so many professional staf which was contributing a lot to the club during abramovich's era. This has become the main reason chelsea is still performing so badly. Despite their efforts, even the scouting team could not suggest to Poch the recruitment of an outstanding player. The fact that Chelsea could always recruit exceptional players during Abramovich's era makes it even stranger to consider the current circumstances. Even some players were also becoming the new legend in the football.

The name is like drogba, lampard or even eden hazard. During their respective eras, these names enjoyed immense popularity. However, what is truly disconcerting is the significant decline of Chelsea Football Club, particularly when we compare it to the time when Roman Abramovich was actively involved. I think that it's not only related to the coach. The staff and managements were also affecting the performance of the club a lot. Todd came to this club with zero experience in the football and he was making so many decisions related to the football. This is very strange behavior from him. I know that if he was the new owner but he should respectively try to get a suggestion from some people in the club who knew it very well.

Well, in those days Chelsea was even one of the clubs that every opponent feared. The peak was when Chelsea managed to win the Champions League title with Tuchel. But after the change in club ownership, everything changed. And yeah now I miss the times when Chelsea weren't this weak. In the past, they always mixed senior players with young players with a balanced composition. Like what Real Madrid did in Laliga. But we can see now that Chelsea has a different way. They even continue to loan Lukaku. Even though I think this player is still very worthy of being kept. And he can be an example for young players on the front lines.

As many people have said here and on social media, Todd is indeed a skilled businessman, but it seems like he doesn't have enough experience in building a football club. But somehow I'm starting to feel that next season Chelsea will improve. But that's just my feeling. Statistically, it's actually still quite difficult.

[rendravolt]

To be honest I was expecting a very easy game from Liverpool against Nottingham but what we saw was instead a late victory that was even beyond expectations. I think Liverpool tried very well to break into Nottingham's goal, but it wasn't easy and they repeatedly had difficulty penetrating the Nottingham defense. Here I want to praise Darwin Nunez's performance because he has become a hero for the Reds thanks to the only goal he scored with a header in this match.

The title race will still continue and Liverpool will not give up one bit and they are lucky they did not end up with the same points as Nottingham. Anyway, I did a multibet on last night's match and the results were quite satisfactory even though there were several matches where I got half wins. But it's okay, at least I still secured quite large overall odds. Despite all that, my bets were right on target and nothing went wrong.

[Coyster]

A draw today between Manchester City and Manchester United would be a win more like three points for Manchester United. Lol. Hopefully they don't fold!

I am pretty sure the two teams would be going for the win today, it is a derby game and there is so much pride and bragging rights involved, Manchester United might not be in the best of forms, but sometimes form does not count so much in a derby game and there is more incentive for the both teams to perform at a very high level irrespective of how they have performed in their recent games.

Having said that, City are the favorites for me, but it would not be an easy game, United lost the reverse fixture at home, so they would want to give City the same medicine at the Etihad. Liverpool fans would be watching this game with popcorn in hand and cheering every action from the team in red.

[abhiseshakana]

Luton had a beautiful comeback against Aston Villa in the second half of the match by equalizing the 2 goals defeat in the first half. I don't know why they failed to secure a draw point(1) than leaving with nothing at their home match.

Let's see what Luton will gat to do in their upcoming away match against Crystal Palace. A win or a draw will be welcomed not a loss match because that will reduce their chances of stepping above Nottm Forest in the relegation zone

After Luton managed to equalize to 2-2 in the 72nd minute, I thought that the match would end in a draw. But, it turned out that Aston Villa managed to ensure their victory, after in the 89th minute they managed to score the third goal. If we look at the course of the match, I think Luton played quite well and their performance wasn't too inferior to Aston Villa. It's just that Aston Villa has much better composure than Luton and that's what allowed Aston Villa to get the winning goal in the final minute.

[indah rezqi]

Well, in those days Chelsea was even one of the clubs that every opponent feared. The peak was when Chelsea managed to win the Champions League title with Tuchel. But after the change in club ownership, everything changed. And yeah now I miss the times when Chelsea weren't this weak.

But somehow I'm starting to feel that next season Chelsea will improve. But that's just my feeling. Statistically, it's actually still quite difficult.

With the depth of the current squad, I think it will take several seasons to see Chelsea return to being a team challenging for the Premier League title. Not to be pessimistic about Chelsea development next season, but the fact is that is true. Chelsea management failed to see the potential in senior players, took big risks when investing in young players, and let go of players who were still very worthy of being kept, such as Lukaku and Ziyech. Not all managers can polish young players developing quickly, and Pochettino seems to have failed as Chelsea manager this season.

The hurricane of injuries experienced by Chelsea is another reason why Pochettino always fails to create consistency, and I predict that it is very likely that they will only be able to finish in the top 10 of the standings. Maybe that can be called development too, because last season Chelsea finished in 12th place. Todd Boehly seems to often experience losses in doing business in the football industry, unlike Abramovich who succeeded in building Chelsea to success. If Chelsea don't update the way they recruit players, it wouldn't be surprising if their performance would be the same next season.

[hyudien]

This Manchester derby should be one of the hottest derbies in the EPL. But with United's current performance, I think this derby will not be as exciting as the derbies of previous seasons. Manchester City have been outstanding this season and United have been inconsistent with their play. I think City will win this match even though I am sure the match will be tight because this is a derby match.

I think the different this season.Manchester City has been doing well but has also losing points in quite so many games so they are not as strong as they used to be in the last season so Manchester United has real chances here as this game remains a derby.In the late years almost every time Manchester City has won the game yet I think today may be a different surprise,if City loses this game it can only make the Premier League title much more colorful than it already is.I also am afraid with Onana and I don't know what happened to him as in Serie A he made so many great saves yet in here he is having difficulties.

It's quite difficult to say Man City lost this match. Because Man United is injured, important players like Hojlund, who is in his best form, have to be absent. Then if you look at the opponent's side, Man City current composition is more complete after yesterday goal party where Haaland scored 5 goals in one match, indicating a very mature readiness to surprise Man United. The Manchester derby remains a match that will show each other's best performance, no matter how bad Man United is, that doesn't make Pep Guardiola take it lightly.
I personally will watch and bet on Man City winning, at least playing at Etihad will add points plus lead the game.

[Velvet78]

It looks like Arsenal can maintain their winning streak by this week as well. Because their next opponent is Sheffield Utd in an away game. But this is football of course, there is no guarantee for something to happen.  

I remember how Aston Villa had big difficulties against Sheffield Utd home and barely saved one point. But later on they demolished them by 5-0 away. I would like to see a big win by Arsenal here too. Arsenal are technically going to play against a team with not much goal left in the league. A point loss in a game like this while fighting for the league title wouldn't be acceptable at all. Arsenal to win by at least two goals has 1.50 odds which is nice to add to one's parlay.  

[3meek]

I think the different this season.Manchester City has been doing well but has also losing points in quite so many games so they are not as strong as they used to be in the last season so Manchester United has real chances here as this game remains a derby.In the late years almost every time Manchester City has won the game yet I think today may be a different surprise,if City loses this game it can only make the Premier League title much more colorful than it already is.I also am afraid with Onana and I don't know what happened to him as in Serie A he made so many great saves yet in here he is having difficulties.

City from the last 15 games, they only drew one game, they won all the other games, what frequent points losses are you talking about? City are much more stable than Manchester United, and Onana makes a lot of mistakes, and together with the not very good play of Manchester United's defenders, this all gives City a better chance of winning this match. Moreover, they really need this victory, and for Manchester United everything looks very doubtful.

I too am confident that Man City will win tonight's derby... Man U also started to play not bad, but does not show stability, especially since they have not had such strong opponents as Man City for a long time... I wouldn't be surprised if Unaiyed can't score a goal at all today... I wouldn't be surprised if United can't score today...

The EPL title race is between Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. These are the important clubs that's taking up level and having good matches results. It's a Manchester derby and we expects both sides to be fierce and competitive when it comes to performance. Erik Ten Hag already given his speech and he's concerned with playing against Pep Guardiola. We know the formidable ground formed by Manchester City and at Etihad stadium. Manchester City should come first when talking about the team that would grab significant winning.

Even though we have three teams who competed for the EPL but i think liverpool and manchester city are the strongest teams to get the trophy. Im not saying arsenal was weak but in fact that this club is always very inconsistent at the end of season.
How can i say that if arsenal shall be on the list of top teams to get EPL while the fact that if it was always bottling it? This makes me think that if arsenal is not worthy enough to be chosen as favorite club to win EPL this season. Arteta has not yet learned from the result last season.

Manchester city is ready now to beat united at etihad stadium to stick on liverpool which was winning the previous game against forest. Manchester united is gonna be another big obstacle for manchester city to farm three points.
Im willing to see that MU to beat united soon.

There are some advantages owned by manchester united, the first thing must be city played at home. secondly, city was also playing with full squad, third MU has no good defenders and good goal keepers at this time.
It will make city's job to be fucking easy compared to when united is still having de gea there.

I agree with you because Manchester United players are not in form to match Manchester City players shoulder-to-shoulder at the Etihad Stadium today. Manchester United's performance has made people choose Manchester City to win against Manchester United when the match has not been played.
