Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Jody.Drummer]

So, this match actually seems to be cornering Arsenal in the fight for the Premier League title, because whatever the result is a draw or loss, Arsenal will still fall from the top of the standings, but it is different if they win then the standings will not change, so the thing Arsenal has to do is win.  is a fixed price for Meriam Landon, apart from that, it is the same as Arsenal handing over the Premier League trophy to the two clubs, Liverpool and Man City, who are waiting for Arsenal's mistakes in carrying out the match.

Arsenal really had to give everything to be able to win the away match because it was a match that was not easy for Arsenal and considering that Arsenal would have difficulty catching up with Liverpool and Manchester City if Arsenal lost this match. So this match is truly the most important and difficult for Arsenal this season because Manchester City are also aware of this enough to win the trophy again this season. Because on the one hand, Liverpool also still has to be taken into account by these two teams this season.

That applies not only to Arsenal, but this also applies to Manchester City. Manchester City will not be able to easily beat Arsenal even though they are playing at their home base, because Arsenal will definitely go all out when they visit Manchester City's headquarters, because they will be well aware that only victory can increase their chances of becoming champions this season. .

For Manchester City it will also be the same, only a win can open up their opportunities even wider. The reason is that of the 3 clubs currently competing, Manchester City has the fewest points, yes, even though it's only 1 point, it will still be very valuable if they can turn things around and lead the standings.

This is not the final, but this match will really determine the journey for both clubs, both Arsenal and Manchester City, so they will definitely do everything to make sure they can get full points in this important match. I think I will avoid betting on this match, because it is very risky.

Arsenal really had to give everything to be able to win the away match because it was a match that was not easy for Arsenal and considering that Arsenal would have difficulty catching up with Liverpool and Manchester City if Arsenal lost this match. So this match is truly the most important and difficult for Arsenal this season because Manchester City are also aware of this enough to win the trophy again this season.

This is not the final, but this match will really determine the journey for both clubs, both Arsenal and Manchester City, so they will definitely do everything to make sure they can get full points in this important match. I think I will avoid betting on this match, because it is very risky.

I don't know how many people want Manchester City to lose at home to Arsenal. Manchester City are basically favorites to win the match, but there is no guarantee they can win it even though the probability of winning is quite high. The match will be very tiring for both teams especially because both are in good form.

Beating Arsenal may have become a normal job for Pep Guardiola since coaching Manchester City, but I just don't want Pep Guaridola to underestimate Arsenal who are fighting to win their first title with Arteta. Liverpool and Arsenal could stop Manchester City's title dominance this season, but Manchester City doesn't seem to be giving up that easily.

[lizarder]

In the upcoming match, Arsenal will visit the Etihad stadium and if we look at their match history, we can see that it is very difficult for Arsenal to beat Manchester City at the Etihad stadium. Even though in the first meeting this season Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City with a score of 1-0, in the second meeting I think Manchester City will be the favorite to win it. These two teams are competing in the standings and their meeting will probably be fiercer than their first meeting this season.

I think if Manchester City manages to beat Arsenal then Arsenal has no chance of competing for the title this season. For this reason, Arteta does not want to repeat his mistakes this season, so this season they want to target the title, so the match between the two will probably be quite tough because they are both aiming for victory. On the other hand, Liverpool must also focus on their target of becoming champions, and Liverpool can take advantage of the final results of their two competitors as motivation for them to get 3 points when facing Brighton.

The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

Because on the one hand, Liverpool also still has to be taken into account by these two teams this season.

It is very difficult to guess who will win and maybe only a draw can result in a big match like this. But if there is a draw, of course Manchester City will benefit greatly and will not hesitate to pass both of them to occupy the top of the standings. The players' readiness before this match must be well prepared and key players must not be injured. But I hope Liverpool will be able to beat Arsenal and that will make it easier for them to maintain their top position.

[Jaycoinz]

This match will be a strong and interesting match to watch because both teams are strong team at the moment, and In as much as this match is very crucial to both teams, there is surely going to be a drop of point either by both teams in the case of draw or we have one of them drop point, however for both teams to be on a safer side of game without dropping many points in the favor of Liverpool FC, a point draw would make sense for the two teams.

This would be the most crucial match for the both teams because the league is drawing close to an end and as we have seen the battle for the title is really intense this season and the only good results for both team to be favored would be a draw because it would be a share of the spoils for the both team and also reduce the chances of both teams losing out in the fight because slip up will open a window of opportunity for Liverpool to seal everything.

But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

I'm so happy about the fierce competition ongoing for the title this season. Pep Guardiola definitely did a great job to build Mikel Arteta into becoming one of the top threatening factors for him to handle in the English Premier League. This season is different from the rest, the mediocre Arsenal have suddenly grown to become a formidable elite team for Pep Guardiola and City. Pep Guardiola will ensure he does his best to fit in to the top race for the EPL title and there's definitely no going back.

Mikel Arteta have spotted the weaknesses of Manchester City and he will do everything within his power to ensure things worked smoothly for Gunners this season. They're ontop of the table and this means they're ready to take on any elite opponents this season without fear or uncertainty. There's absolutely no excuse for Manchester City defeats against Arsenal at Emirate stadium. The game was filled with suspense actions and Arsenal had the upper hand. Perhaps next week, crucial matches will take the orders of the day.

Arsenal winning the premier League is like wanting a Cow to pass through the hole of a needle.. it's an impossible mission if you ask me, and I believe they are actually fighting to remain in the top four to qualify for the champions League.. Although they have been playing impressive football since last season and bravo to them for that but winning the league is another level itself.. with clubs like Manchester city, Liverpool who have also been in good form this season it'll  take a big miracle for Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.. Let's also not forget that they'll play Manchester city immediately after the international break probably is the reason bukayo saka is claiming to be injured..

You see it too negatively. Winning the Premier League is a challenging task for sure and it seems unlikely for Arsenal to win the league this season. But Arsenal has been playing well recently. They have shown not only in the league but also in the CL that they are in a good form. The upcoming match against Manchester City will be a tough test for Arsenal and it remains to be seen if they can maintain their good form. Nonetheless, anything can happen in football and upsets do occur so it's not entirely impossible for Arsenal to win the league.

Arsenal winning the premier League is like wanting a Cow to pass through the hole of a needle.. it's an impossible mission if you ask me, and I believe they are actually fighting to remain in the top four to qualify for the champions League.. Although they have been playing impressive football since last season and bravo to them for that but winning the league is another level itself.. with clubs like Manchester city, Liverpool who have also been in good form this season it'll  take a big miracle for Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.. Let's also not forget that they'll play Manchester city immediately after the international break probably is the reason bukayo saka is claiming to be injured..

I disagree with you that this is an impossible mission for Arsenal if they want to compete for the Premier League title this season. Did you think it would be easy for any other club to win the Premier League title if Arsenal did not win? Arsenal has the same level of enthusiasm for winning it as they do, and they can win it if they win all of their games to displace the teams at the top of the standings because their point differentials are not that large. Even if it appears impossible, they will try to win it and not give up hope so easily.

Their match against Manchester City after the international break is crucial for them, so Saka claiming to be injured even when he is not is not a bad idea in my opinion; they need him more in that game than they do in the England squad right now. Other top players like Ben White is also out injured, I hope they become fully fit all for the Manchester City game.

Manchester City and Liverpool, just like Arsenal, are optimistic about winning the league title. I'm not going to look down on any team right now; their hard work has gotten them this far, and they still appear to be very consistent and confident in achieving what they're fighting for, so the best team will undoubtedly win based on their individual team performance to triumph in the Premier League this season.

[baeva]

If you use the term "give up before the match" it seems like your statement is that Arsenal is not optimistic about the match hosting Man City, even though the match will be played at Man City's home ground, it doesn't mean that Arsenal just want to lose points. A draw is already beneficial for Arsenal because sharing points is the target.  their main goal, but on the other hand, if a draw occurs then Liverpool has a chance to beat Arsenal, so like it or not, Arsenal in this match will fight tooth and nail even though they will be busy with various busy schedules to prepare against Bayer Munich in the Champions League, so I think Arsenal should  win whatever the result when the match starts after the international break ends..

Both clubs are preparing for their champions league match, and it is not only Arsenal. It will be better for Arsenal to win the match for them to still remain on the first first position. This is because if Arsenal steps down from being first, it might be impossible for them to go back to top the league.

If the match ends in a draw, it will in Liverpool's favor. This is because, if Liverpool wins their match, they will move to the first position. If City win Arsenal, and Liverpool wins, Liverpool will still be on the first position. Arsenal needs to keep on winning all their matches, if they want to win the trophy this season.

So, this match actually seems to be cornering Arsenal in the fight for the Premier League title, because whatever the result is a draw or loss, Arsenal will still fall from the top of the standings, but it is different if they win then the standings will not change, so the thing Arsenal has to do is win.  is a fixed price for Meriam Landon, apart from that, it is the same as Arsenal handing over the Premier League trophy to the two clubs, Liverpool and Man City, who are waiting for Arsenal's mistakes in carrying out the match.

You must also take into account that both Liverpool and Manchester City can make mistakes later on, it is not a fact that in case of a defeat or draw by arsenal, MC and Liverpool will reach the end of the season without defeat. Liverpool have a match against MU next, I think it will be a tough one. Manchester City have a match with Tottenham (after arsenal). Asrenal have a match with MU and Tottenham. You see, everywhere you look, you can make mistakes in matches against strong opponents.

[Oneandpure]

Beating Arsenal may have become a normal job for Pep Guardiola since coaching Manchester City, but I just don't want Pep Guaridola to underestimate Arsenal who are fighting to win their first title with Arteta. Liverpool and Arsenal could stop Manchester City's title dominance this season, but Manchester City doesn't seem to be giving up that easily.

Large opportunity for Arsenal and Liverpool for stopping Manchester City become the winner this season, next match Arsenal will try to stop three points for Manchester City and keep secure their first standings position.
Arsenal help their self for defeating Manchester City although in other side Liverpool get more points behind the citizen. Arsenal's performance in this season is very difference than last season, they are or crucial place for winning domestic league tittle and won't loss on important match against Manchester City, if can beat City will make easy for upcoming matches left exactly against Liverpool on the crucial match for fighting the top first standings position.

[Weawant]

The fixture between Manchester city and Arsenal seems to be the most discussed amongst others in the premier league but then it looks like less is spoken of other fixtures like that between Liverpool and Brighton, west ham and Newcastle even Chelsea and Burnley which Chelsea will be using as an opportunity to get to the rank up a little because they have got a better chance of qualifying in that game.

West ham and Newcastle is supposed to be an interesting game in that earlier this season, Newcastle was at their peak performance and they were doing so well that I never got to think they will at any point ever get to be weak such that we wouldn't be anticipating their actions on the pitch but then I think they still have a little of their good form and can still be able to perform really well so there will be some form of good performance we should be expecting from them and hoping to aswell see some form of excitement in the game from the beginning to the end.

Nevertheless Arsenal and Manchester city promise to be very exciting and I also hope to get same with Liverpool especially if Liverpool will be able to flawlessly win the match probably with a great margin which will be seen as an epic win then again they can be sure to have back the top position pending the outcome of Manchester city and Arsenal. I actually prefer and hope for Liverpool to get back to the top.

Many people will be astonished if Arsenal wins this league; many people continue to look down on Arsenal, forgetting the kind of capacity we possess as a club. People look down on Arsenal too much, and it's not as if we're not performing well; we've won our last five games, and the question is what will happen if we win the Premier League. If it comes to qualifying for the Champions League, that is obviously something we are competing for, as is winning the Premier League. And I don't think we want to stay in fourth our goal right now is to win. At some point i was growing furious the way you were saying thing about Arsenal and they are try seriously and they deserve son credit. Is not really easy on the pitch. Why would Saka claim to be injured if he was injured? We aren't afraid to play. Man City.

Even if it appears impossible, they will try to win it and not give up hope so easily.

Exactly. This time, Arsenal both have the chance for it along with Man City and Liverpool. This time, their point gap is 1 and that is very crucial. Indeed, even now, it is still quite difficult for us to predict who will become EPL champions. because there are still around 9 matches left. And during the restarting matches, no one will guarantee that their position will continue to be the same as this, or that it will actually change. What is certain is that the competition in the EPL between these 3 clubs is very tight, so whatever the winner, it will definitely not be easy, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

Yes, let's just see how these three clubs can control and optimize their clubs so that they can always win in every match. Because, if they lose just once or even more than that, then it will really affect their position immediately. So, they have to be careful. And indeed, one of the keys will be in the big match between Man City vs Arsenal later.

But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

I think in a big match like this playing in front of opposing fans will have no effect at all because Arsenal is a team that already has a high mentality. This match is very crucial for both teams, and both teams must get three points in this match otherwise Liverpool will move up to first place because Liverpool have opponents who are slightly easier to get three points from.

Indeed, in the previous match Man City lost to Arsenal because one of the Man City players suffered an injury, especially Kevin de Bruyne's injury, but this did not make Arsenal afraid to face Man City. Because just looking at Arsenal's development this season compared to last season, Arsenal this season is better prepared to face all the big matches. Just look at Arsenal this season, they are clearly the best team in the EPL league, beating Man City and Liverpool quite easily, but because they haven't won the league for a long time, people won't believe that they can actually win it.

I'll agree with you to some extent but from the type of game arsenal plays (Entertaining game) winning the big clubs to clinge the trophy will be extremely difficult..
Just as you've said that the point margin between the top 3 aren't that much that's how competitive it'll be and we've seen from previous years of how careless arsenal are.. Loosing points at the most crucial moments is what arsenal are good at.. If they utilize and bask on the defensive weaknesses of Manchester city they might get a draw but a win is a no no..

Winning the EPL becomes a race for three major teams. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, they're the topping clubs and giving up is not an excuse for any of them. Arsenal are centered with good points and stellar performance, they are underrated due to their previous records and dissapointing results in matches. Mikel Arteta and his team failed to win the EPL last season, they were in good shape and had everything necessary to win but during mid-season, they started having complicated issues when it comes to winning, there's no better chance than using good points to top second position.

[Humblevirus]

What you are saying now is that Arsenal did not have any hope of winning this season's Premier League trophy. You are really funny; I don't know what you were really looking at when you decided to judge Arsenal in that way. If you are using last season to judge Arsenal, I will say you are getting it wrong. The first thing you should look at is whether it is the same squad arsenal used last season they are using this season.
 
And another thing: again, Manchester City was in great form toward the end of the last season, but currently, Manchester City's performance is not as great as that of last season; they are not playing so well that they were playing towards the end of the season, and seriously, if you look at their performance compared with Arsenal this season, I think both teams are performing at the same level if Arsenal's performance for this season is not even better than Manchester City's.
 
At the point that Arsenal is already topping the table, I believe they will do anything possible not to move away from the top of the table. Why do I believe that it is very possible for them to win the Premier League title this season? It is all because they have the squad, and I really found the seriousness in the Arsenal squad currently. In the upcoming matches between Arsenal and Manchester City, both teams have an equal opportunity of winning the match, despite it being Manchester City's home. If others can win Manchester City's game or draw Manchester City, why can't Arsenal do so?

I think, Pochettino have a lot of things to do to make his players to start doing what will bring glory to the team because Chelsea management spend a huge amount of money to signed potential players in the Summer, but the results people are seeing from Chelsea in this season is very poor. All Chelsea players are good in international football which we have seen what they where displaying through out their matches but they find it difficult to understand themselves in Chelsea which is the reason they don't display excellent performance in the team. I don't think anything is wrong with the players Pochettino is coaching in this season, I believe with time all those players will understand themselves better to make their coach feel comfortable with their display.

I'm not here to blame anyone when Chelsea experiences a downturn, losing its glory days, even though the players and coaches have tried in various ways to improve their performance to take back their glory days, it will still be a little difficult and we have to be able to understand Chelsea current situation because there is no team. popular which has always been able to survive its heyday.
we can see the condition of other teams like Man United which have also lost their glory days and this is very normal and no one needs to be blamed when situations like this happen and in my opinion it is just a matter of time for Chelsea management to change the team to get its glory days like before with great coaches and quality players.
for me, this situation will improve when I find a coach who really can manage Chelsea perfectly, but for several seasons it looks like it will still be difficult.

In fact, Chelsea has quite capable resources and has many talented players, but this downturn will never be separated from the performance of the coach and of course the coach is the person most responsible for every condition experienced by every football team.
Coach mistake was in making decisions about all his players, just look at Chelsea, there are quite lot of players on loan contracts and of course this really affects the stability of the team performance.
When team lacks several players due to loans, it is clear that player crisis will occur and ultimately the quality of performance will decrease and the team strength will weaken and this is why Chelsea is having very difficult time developing and becoming strong team.
If next season Chelsea can take some of the players who have been on loan and really make changes well then it is possible that there will be significant changes little by little.

But in my opinion Chelsea and Manchester United have differences, Manchester United can still be much better than Chelsea and of course the problems that occur are much more complicated than those experienced by Chelsea.
Even though periods of loss of glory are natural thing to happen and many teams have experienced it, there are also some team that always get the right coach and can make team always have full strength every season.

Actually to me, this Chelsea team is not that bad, just that the team is filled with under 21 players which is a problem when they are mostly playing against an experience team, though I believe that with time, they will grow and blend more with each other, but it's going to take them time, like 3 to 4 seasons before they might even get into the champions league position, because this Chelsea team am seeing so, have a very long way to go in terms of raising the standard back to the level of their glory days.

And as for mudrik, I just think it's a matter of confidence, the guy is struggling with confidence due to the pressure placed on him when playing for Chelsea, but when playing for Ukraine, he plays freely because he is the star player there, and their is no pressure on him to deliver, so that just the difference, he doesn't just know how to cope with pressure of playing for a bigger team.

Pochettino changed the team once he joined there and he released many older players who got many salaries at Chelsea. Most of these players joined the Saudi League or the other teams but Chelsea didn't really need these players and instead of using these old players, he started hiring younger talents for Chelsea, that's why the fans don't want to force the team to get him fired. Because he is the coach who thinks about the future of the team.
But even if Pochettino is not under too much pressure because of using the younger players, still this team couldn't get the result he wanted to get and there is the same situation in Manchester United, but I think Chelsea hasn't have had a bad performance considering the age of their players.

The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.

I agree with your reasoning there, it was a home game for Arsenal but in fact it wasn't just about De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has difficulty making his squad appear impressive because Arsenal really has an effective strategy. Arsenal built a lot of attacks, they appeared to press and created more goal chances than Manchester City and in the end Gabriel Martinelli's 1 goal was enough to secure 3 points for Arsenal even though it came a few minutes before the end of the match.

But this time Manchester City is different. They will play at home and the squad is also complete compared to the first match at the Emirates, but it is still difficult for us all to predict the result. Manchester City is the favorite of many people, even the bookies also favor them because of their performance, but once again that is not any guarantee of getting Manchester City to win over Arsenal. There is only one team that will win if the two do not draw, but Arsenal's chances of winning are very low.

[Richbased]

Weekend match between Mancity and Arsenal is going to be a very tough match as the both team battle it out to become EPL champions, however, Liverpool is also among the three teams pushing it hard to win the league as well.The season is coming  to an end as it is left with just 10 games before the season ends.If Liverpool wins their matck,and Arsenal and Mancity gets a draw,then Liverpool will go up top again,and maybe this time, Liverpool will no longer come down because they have played almost all the teams that would have given them headache.So all Liverpool fans and players will be praying for a draw between Arsenal and City.

There are no EPL matches this weekend due to the international break that has already started. All games resume next weekend but that's by the way. And yes, you're right about Liverpool club and fans looking forward to that City and Arsenal game because it might be the make or break moment of the title race. If Arsenal wins, that means, Liverpool will have to start scoring plenty of goals so they can meet Arsenal in terms of goal difference. If City wins? Liverpool still tops with 1 point but I'm sure Klopp and his team will prefer to have arsenal in second place rather than City. Too much trauma from City's comeback in recent years.

This stage of the league is a very crucial and critical one for the top league contenders, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester city because anyone of them that flops at this period will certainly give up in the title race and Arsenal though are topping the league table but their hopes of maintaining the top of the league table is slim as a result of the fact that they are meeting a strong contender as well which is Manchester city and considering that Arsenal won Manchester city when they met at Emirate stadium would make Manchester city to stand in retaliation of the defeat they suffered against Arsenal in their first meeting, so it is really a difficult fixture for Arsenal as that match may decide Arsenal chances of winning the premier league this season. City or Arsenal Emerging as the second position in the table isn't the problem because Liverpool must also maintain a consistent form if they manage to reclaim the top position after Arsenal match against Manchester city because the competition is still very much active.
