Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Slow death]

The result that Manchester City got against Southampton today was really surprising for most people. I never thought that this would end in a 0-0 draw. I expected at least three goals in this match. Manchester City could still have won this match but Sterling's goal was cancelled by VAR in the last minute. I guess that Guardiola is not happy with the result.

it seems to me that City this season will be very inconsistent:

1 - played against tottenham, won but scored only 1 goal

2 - after playing against tottenham, playing against norwich, won and scored 5 goals

3 - after playing against Norwich, he went to play against Arsenal, won and scored 5 goals

4 - after playing against arsenal, he went to play against leicester, won but scored only 1 goal

5 - after playing against leicester, he went to play against RB Leipzig, won and managed to score 6 goals

6 - now they play against southampton, draw and can't score at least 1 goal

Is a very strange inconsistency

This happens a lot in the Premier League something unthinkable can happen no one likes this result except the bookies  
I don't see Man City motivated by anything they play badly based on statistics City only had 1 shot on target out of a total of 16 shots even Southampton had 2 shots on target from 10 shots this really doesn't make sense, some people say it's just luck, some say it's about settings.

I don't think it's luck too, more than 90 minutes and that's all they did, we've seen Southampton last year and even this year play good against big teams, also I noticed that a lot of teams who do well in the champions league or other competition show some lack of concentration in their leagues, Man United lost in the champions leauge, I am expecting the opposite to happen, they gotta win against West ham.

Manchester City surprised everyone by getting a 0-0 draw against Southampton today. I assume that most people expected them to simply destroy their opponent. I wonder what went wrong in this game. Because Manchester City had no problem on scoring a lot of goals lately. It was like there is no way that City would score even less than 3 goals.

Southampton creates a draw in the last 5 games, with only 1 loss by Everton. the club must look at Benitez's strategy for how he creates a winning vs Southampton. I thing it's not about Pep, Ole, Moyes, and bruce's strategy but this is how wonderful Ralph's strategy (4-4-2) is to make it draw. Pep didn't calculate it before, they use old formations it is not effective atm.

I watched the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace today and was amazed by the pace of the Premier League. Liverpool scored towards the end of the first half, but until that minute both teams were looking for a goal. For Crystal Palace, Benteke was somewhat ineffective, after which he was replaced by Edouard.
Although Liverpool found the second goal late, it was clear that they would win the match. Crystal Palace lost concentration after stepping in behind. Liverpool did not give up the leadership by making 13 points in 5 matches.

The surprise result today is, Manchester City finished the game without scoring. One day they score 6 goals in a match, the other day they can't score any, it's a very unstable team. 4 of Southampton's 5 games ended in a draw, although the guys can't win, they know not to lose. Arsenal have won for the second time, they are slowly going up. Premier League is the best!

Salah has another good match for Liverpool and the Kop will depend on him one more season. Mane and Firmino fall too far from his best performance and Jota is better as a substitution.

This season, Klopp gives opportunities for young players again and with his ability, Liverpool might find new Arnold or Anbertson. Liverpool dominated the match and they deserve to get three points from Crystal Palace

I am as surprised as you. The number of shots on target was what actually marvelled me. Football is indeed incredible, especially in Epl. In my own take, I will assume that Pep disappointed the fans. After mid week CL, he urged the fans to show more support. The fans responded and gave him enough, then he ended up not given them even a goal.
Well, it was a lucky day for the Citizens, assuming the Walker Red card and PK stood, it would have been worse for City. So, this is a pure warning to us, these men are somewhat inconsistent. Let's watch them longer.

Salah capped his outstanding performance with his 100th goal for Liverpool,  earlier in the first half Crystal Palace made things difficult for Liverpool having hit the post twice, as you rightly said Palace switched off and allow the host to take control of the match with Mane making several incursions into their defense territory and creating chances, had Palace utilized their opportunity the match would have been keenly contested, I think Liverpool is becoming a title contender this season if they can be consistent in winning their matches.

Liverpool always start every season with perfectly performance and have collected 13 points so far from 4 win and one draw, I think last season Liverpool have perfect too start but not lucky when half season many important player was injury and they faced until finish of primer league without many player with injury. I think if Liverpool keep consistent and all their player fit without injury looks easy to get trophy of primer league after miss last year. Beside Manchester City still not consistent after draw last night faced with Southampton and have left one top position on stable for Liverpool.

Is a very strange inconsistency

I don't think it's that strange. The teams they play will obviously vary in ability, so some matches will be easier than others. But the opposition teams will also vary in approach. If a weak team plays City, they will often play very defensively. They may get a 0-0, or City may get frustrated and push too many many forward, and the opposition might even hope to sneak a goal on the break or from a set piece, and win 1-0. But if a defensive team concedes early, they then have to change their strategy and be more open, in which case often City will score more.

I don't think it's inconsistency, it's just that football can be a complex game with many variables.

[CryptoBuds]

A bad performance by Man City despite the star-studded squad paraded today, they only had 1 shot on target towards the end of 90 minutes, this is a  team that scored 16 goals in all matches played, they missed the opportunity of topping the table before the outcome of other matches, a good performance from Southampton.
Arsenal was also lucky to snatched a win with a lone goal, Burnley mounted a lot of pressure on them in the second half in a bid to equalized the goal, but all their efforts proved abortive.

They also scored six goals in the previous match against the strong Leipzig. Manchester City also scored five goals against Norwich and Arsenal in the Premier League. But they could not make any good attack against a weak team like Southampton. The match was their home match. Having lost points in this match, I think they will move to fourth place in the points table tonight.

I'm glad Arsenal got their second win. Arteta would have lost her job if she had lost this match

Liverpool forwards mane and Salah are fantastic players, they're already chasing records made by Didier Drogba for the highest goal scorer's in the premier league.
Salah has been very consistent he'll be the first to do this....in space of two to three games.
I'm wondering how Liverpool will cope without them when they leave for the African cup of Nation

Teams like Southampton can be frustrating and difficult to play.
This is simply because,they defend very well, absorbs pressure, having good midfielder's in the premier,they may be underdogs but world class and top notch, they're very fast with them counter attacks,as well they play high press as Liverpool do play.
Manchester United as well had similar results,this is not new to me at all.

Throughout the Southampton game managed to frustrate the Man City player, Man City vs Southampton ended with a score of 0-0, this result was the first for Man City since Fernandinho and his friends were held to a draw by Man United by the score of glasses at Old Trafford Stadium on December 12, 2020.
Southampton started the game with good attacking initiative, they had several times threatened the Man City goal even though they had not been able to score a goal. Man City player also created several chances, but the efforts of Man City player still did not succeed because Southampton defense was very strong. Man City finish the game with only one shot on target (Foden header in injury time), this result is Man City lowest shots on target in a Premier League match since March 2017 (1 shot on target against Stoke City).

[3meek]

Wow! Two good matches today at once! If Chelsea's win against Tottenham is not in doubt for some reason, I have my doubts about the West Ham vs Man U game! Both clubs recently played in European cups, but Man U lost to an outsider, while West Ham performed very well! I don't know if the red devils can beat the hosts tonight... There are doubts about that!

[Bitinity]

it seems to me that City this season will be very inconsistent:

1 - played against tottenham, won but scored only 1 goal

I'm not really sure which match between City and Tottenham you are talking about? Afaik they lost by 1-0 and they did not score any goal. By the way, it is not really strange as it is a common thing. Even a bigger team may not be able to win or score goals in all match they play. It is still in the early stage of the new season, most teams will still need more time to adapt to find the best strategies and starting lineups. We cant say they are inconsistent just based on several matches, we need to take a look at many factors such as the opponents, their team's overall situation, etc.

[Zedpastin]

Manchester United did not look good against Young boys in the champions league and I think West ham can put pressure on Manchester United today and make them collapse. I have gone for a Chelsea win against Tottenham because Tottenham have many players out with injuries, Leicester to win against Brighton with Jamie Vardy scoring and West ham as a double chance for a draw or a victory. The payout for this is 800 dollars and I think it is very possible that this happens. I am most confident on Chelsea beating Tottenham because tottenham lost against crystal palace last time and Liverpool destroyed them yesterday 3-0.

[dwminer1]

There are going to be interesting matches in the Premiership today. In matches Brighton-Leicester and West Ham - Man Utd, I bet on the victory of the guests. Brighton started the season well and is in a high place, but so far they have had quite weak opponents. The match against Leicester will be their first big challenge. Manchester will certainly want to prove that the last defeat in CL against a lower-ranked opponent from Switzerland was just an accident at work.
In the London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea I bet on a draw and hope for an interesting match.

Yeah and it is a really strange inconsistency for them also. Southampton were not a tough opponent for them actually. And they won their last game against Leipzig by scoring 6 goals in the end. I would expect a much better performance from Manchester City. I wonder what the reason behind the inconsistency is. Because their game plan is still working fine against nearly all the teams.

[Coyster]

Manchester United did not look good against Young boys in the champions league and I think West ham can put pressure on Manchester United today and make them collapse.

I think United are going to struggle today, not just cause they had a very hard game against Young Boys in the CL, but cause West Ham is a very decent team with players that can cause quite a lot of problems for opposition defense, I'd like to see how United's defense handles the threat Antonio will pose today, it's going to be a very interesting and free flowing game with quite some goals. My prediction for this game is a 3-2 win for Manchester United, I expect Cristiano Ronaldo to get on the score sheet for United today again, he'll be a very important player for them this season, but I doubt if his influence would be enough for United to win the league at the end of the season.

West ham have a terrible defensive record in the Premier League already this season I see both teams scoring because Manchester United are going to be tired from mid week game. I expect Antonio and Ronaldo to score. I think it is going to be a close game and that is why I have gone for a double bet of a draw or a West Ham win. Manchester United have a huge pressure on them today and we will see if they are title challengers if they can push that pressure to the side and win the game. I would be impressed if they did win today.

Southampton are a top half of the table team I do not know how you can say they are not a tough opponent. It is always harder for the top teams to play against teams that go defensive against them and that is what Southampton did.
