Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Palakka]

Aston Villa is still comfortably sitting in 4th position in the standings after successfully beating Wolves at home with a score of 2-0. They are very strong and don't want to lose any points amidst the increasingly heated competition at the end of the season. Moreover, knowing that Spurs had just won against Luton, made Aston Villa even more enthusiastic about widening the points gap again.

In last night's match there was one player who was their most successful transfer last summer, namely Moussa Diaby and in this match he recorded one goal and one assist for Aston Villa's victory. I think Unai Emery is very happy with his player's performance and hopes to get more good results towards the end of the season. On the other hand, it is certainly not easy because they experienced failure in the previous two matches and so far they should have been closer to Manchester City.

Aston Villa's victory over Wolves made them able to be back in the top 4 of the Premier League standings at this time, after previously they had dropped one level when Tottenham won over Luton on the same day, I think so far Aston Villa's performance is still very far from their previous performance when they could so spectacularly beat a strong team in the league,  The only chance for Aston Villa at the moment is to keep the last ticket in the Champions League because to catch Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool is obviously very difficult for them at the moment, besides that I think Aston Villa should also no longer be able to drop points in their remaining matches because Tottenham are very close to Aston Villa, especially Tottenham have one postponed game that has not been played.

Yes Diaby's performance against wolves was quite good and very worthy of him being man of the match of the match in that the match, but to say he is the most successful purchase of course you are a little mistaken, because in my opinion, as a striker of course he has not been able to meet the expectations that match his price when he was bought from Leverkusen for 50 million pounds,  Maybe it's quite natural that he hasn't shown his best ability because this season is his first season in the Premier League and of course he still has plenty of time to become Aston Villa's mainstay player later.

Liverpool showed a great game play yesterday as they came back from disadvantage to win the game against Brighton.I know that this season Brighton has been one of the most inconsistent teams not only in Premier League but also in the European competition that they played yet Liverpool showed character and determination to get the win which they definitely got in the end of the day.

The draw between Manchester City and Arsenal further suited Liverpool to be leading the league alone now and to have everything in their power so they can be Champions of the Premier League once again now,there are only 7-8 games to be played and I am sure Liverpool can handle this.

Liverpool showed a great game play yesterday as they came back from disadvantage to win the game against Brighton.I know that this season Brighton has been one of the most inconsistent teams not only in Premier League but also in the European competition that they played yet Liverpool showed character and determination to get the win which they definitely got in the end of the day.

Liverpool don’t have option than to win that match because they knew that the match between Arsenal and City will not be an easy one as the result might end up in a draw. A win has favored them as they are now two points clear ahead of Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp is happy with the outcome because his ambition is to win his last Premier League title with Liverpool in his last season as the head coach since he has announce his retirement as Liverpool manager after this season.

The draw between Manchester City and Arsenal further suited Liverpool to be leading the league alone now and to have everything in their power so they can be Champions of the Premier League once again now,there are only 7-8 games to be played and I am sure Liverpool can handle this.

The yesterday’s match was a classic and clinical match between two teams that are all aiming to win the League this season. Arteta said that their tactics worked because it will not be easy to win in or take a point at Etihad, and his team (Arsenal) will do their best to win all their remaining eight matches to see if they can have the advantage of Liverpool probably drop points along the way.

[Richbased]

So my beloved Reds go clear at the top of the table. I was delighted that Man City vs Arsenal was a draw, both dropped points which was perfect for Liverpool. There is such a long way to go though, I don’t think any of the 3 teams in the title race will win all their games, all 3 teams will drop points:

These are the remaining games for each team, what do you think guys?

Remaining fixtures:

Liverpool: Sheff Utd (H), Man Utd (A), Crystal Palace (H), Fulham (A), Everton (A), West Ham (A), Spurs (H), Aston Villa (A), Wolves (H).

Arsenal: Luton (H), Brighton (A), Aston Villa (H), Wolves (A), Chelsea (H), Spurs (A), Bournemouth (H), Man Utd (A), Everton (H).

Man City: Aston Villa (H), Crystal Palace (A), Luton Town (H), Brighton (A), Nottm Forest (A), Wolves (H), Fulham (A), West Ham (H).

The remaining matches for the three top teams isn't that difficult looking at the fixtures but however, just like you said there is no way either of them wouldn't lose at least a match and now that Liverpool is topping with two points have giving them another advantage to protect this lead, though Arsenal and Manchester city also seems to be dangerous looking at their game yesterday, the both teams played perfectly well hence they settled for a draw.
The top 3 teams were really entertaining yesterday as Liverpool also came from a goal down to equalize and win Brighton at Anfield.

I will agree with you that the top 3 clubs don't have tough club to play in the rest of their match. But don't you think that you are underestimating Manchester united. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are to play Manchester united, which can be a problem to one of them. This is because Manchester united is unpredictable, they can play very bad today and play as if they are the strongest tomorrow.

However, that should not be a threat to any of the two teams, because they should know how to get rid of United out of their way, so that Manchester united don't become an hindrance to them. It is quite a tough time now for all these three clubs, as one of them must be the winn of EPL this season, but which club.

That was the reason why I said LFC_Bitcoin was right for saying that one among the top 3 teams would lose at least one of their remaining matches so Manchester United may give either of them a tough play but don't forget that Arsenal won Manchester united in their first meetings so it wouldn't be a surprise if they still win them again in this returning leg due to Manchester United's inconsistent form but however, anything is possible as the league is gradually coming to an end so we will be seeing lots of drama from now on.

Wolves is also another average club in England that can surprise big teams, let's us not forget that they beat Manchester city by 2:1 in their first meeting on 30th September 2023. So you can agree with me that Manchester united is not the only treat in their remaining matches

[KTChampions]

after successfully sharing points with Man City, Arsenal will next compete against Luton and in this match, as hosts, Arsenal will be favored by the bookmakers with very small odds.
as a bettor, I will definitely look for big odds with smaller risks, as we can see, even though Arsenal victory is guaranteed, I choose to bet on Luton score.
there are several reasons when I bet on a score of 0.5 when I look at the match history of the previous 10 matches. Luton can always score, even if they play away or at home, they can always score at least 1 score.
and even against Liverpool, Luton also managed to get 1 score.

so for me betting on my choice is more feasible than betting on Arsenal winning with small odds not worth the risk

An interesting bet, and I would say very bold given the fact that Arsenal did not allow City to score a single goal. In general, I am surprised that Luton consistently scores goals against Arsenal, in my opinion, with Arsenal’s love for ball control, this should not happen.
Hmmmm... Although, you know, I just checked the history of meetings and it turns out that their last game between themselves was in January 2023, and the previous one in 1991 
Are you sure that statistics from the previous century have something to do with modern realities?

[Lannakosa]

Liverpool showed a great game play yesterday as they came back from disadvantage to win the game against Brighton.I know that this season Brighton has been one of the most inconsistent teams not only in Premier League but also in the European competition that they played yet Liverpool showed character and determination to get the win which they definitely got in the end of the day.

The draw between Manchester City and Arsenal further suited Liverpool to be leading the league alone now and to have everything in their power so they can be Champions of the Premier League once again now,there are only 7-8 games to be played and I am sure Liverpool can handle this.

I hoped that City could beat Arsenal, they were much closer to win than Arsenal. I didn’t expect such a game from Arteta, I hoped that the match would be productive, but he chose to defend. City often have to play with teams, that play the entire match on the defensive, they are not used to this, and the fact that they cannot score a goal for the second match in a row is also unexpected. A team that wants to become a champion must be able to play against any opponents, both attacking and defending.

[rendravolt]

Even though the match was quite boring when not a single goal was scored, it was also worth appreciating the two teams who didn't want to give up on each other in a big match. Both Manchester City and Arsenal have done their best to maintain their consistency and although in the end both teams shared one point but that is better than not getting a single point.

It is clear how both teams also guard each other's goals so as not to concede and here Arsenal can always thwart Manchester City's opportunities with their strong defense. Overall, Manchester City controlled the game but they were unable to create gaps in Arsenal's defense. One thing is certain, with this draw, Liverpool will benefit greatly because they are still at the top of the standings with 67 points and they will still be at the top of the standings if they still win in the next match.

[lizarder]

Even though I'm just guessing, I predict Arsenal will have an easier time against the teams they will face, even though that's not true regarding the results of each of the remaining matches.
If you take into account the quality of the three teams, the chances of who will win the Premier League title are still large and it is difficult to say which of the three teams they are.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City still have a chance to do it and we still can't say that one of them will be firmly at the top. For fans of one of the three teams to say that their favorite team has a bigger chance, I don't think it's wrong.

I agree with this and the draw that Arsenal got against Man City provides a much bigger opportunity for them. Although in terms of points, this draw is quite profitable for Liverpool because they can smile a little more at being in first place in the standings now. Arsenal has a big chance to emerge as champions this season, but Arteta must see how the current points cannot be far behind Liverpool.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City still have a good chance of competing for the title, but now Liverpool is much more profitable and has a much bigger chance. Now we just need to look at the next few matches and if the three of them can play consistently then the standings will not change, so the title will be determined after one of them gets a disappointing result.

In this situation, only Arsenal haven't proven to have winning streak in the ending phase of the season. Manchester City and Liverpool have done it. Manchester United having potential to challenge these top teams shouldn't be overstated solely based on their inconsistent form, because big club have mentality to give a tough game even though there are in a bad situation. Beside Manchester United, There will still be Tottenham and Aston Villa who can give a tough game for them. These two teams still have their own ambitions to finish at higher position for European competition spots.

Arsenal have to play against two of their biggest rivals, Manchester United and Tottenham. There will be emotional sense when they play against their historical rivals that can make the game feel tougher than play against another teams. Past results can provide insight, but they don't guarantee future outcomes. Manchester United has the quality and mentality to give a tough game, and Tottenham is provenly a very good team that had beaten the three teams in the past games. Upsets and surprises will always possible to happen in football, and it's still hard to predict who's gonna win the league.

[Palakka]

I hoped that City could beat Arsenal, they were much closer to win than Arsenal. I didn’t expect such a game from Arteta, I hoped that the match would be productive, but he chose to defend. City often have to play with teams, that play the entire match on the defensive, they are not used to this, and the fact that they cannot score a goal for the second match in a row is also unexpected. A team that wants to become a champion must be able to play against any opponents, both attacking and defending.

Yesterday match did not show like two great teams that met, because in my opinion from the start of the match to the end we did not see any excitement that occurred between the two teams In the match, Manchester city and Arsenal looked quite careful in playing so we did not see any high intensity happening, as far as the match went on It was clear if Arsenal was more focused on defending by collecting almost 8 players in the penalty area their are and obviously if it does not show the hallmarks of Arsenal play so far.

I think the decline in the intensity of the game of both teams may not escape the injuries of some of their main players, and it was seen in the match that if De Bruyne, Saka, martinelli and also Akanji were not able to perform at their best, I think the draw actually made both teams very disadvantaged because then Liverpool can be quite relieved to be at the top of the table at this time,  For Arenal, their remaining games of the season are quite worrying because they still have to face big teams, Manchester City may benefit because no team has the potential to beat them In the Remaining games of the season, but still ManchesterCity should also be wary of surprises that may occur.

[Docnaster]

Even though the match was quite boring when not a single goal was scored, it was also worth appreciating the two teams who didn't want to give up on each other in a big match. Both Manchester City and Arsenal have done their best to maintain their consistency and although in the end both teams shared one point but that is better than not getting a single point.

One thing is certain, with this draw, Liverpool will benefit greatly because they are still at the top of the standings with 67 points and they will still be at the top of the standings if they still win in the next match.

We've seen Manchester City play against the all of the top five clubs this season and none of the games were boring as the game against Arsenal yesterday. Both teams failed to create good scoring chances for themselves and that was why none of them was able to find the back of the net in that game. Before now, whenever Arsenal is playing against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City at the Etihad, it always used to be a bad day for the gunners but that wasn't the result of the yesterday game and that I think goes a long way to tell how well Arsenal have improved under Mikel Arteta in the last two seasons.
Arsenal were at the top of the league table for better part of last season but were unable to win the league title because of Manchester City's superior performances in the last matches of the season but the Gunners this season have improved from the Arsenal team that wasn't able to fight for the league title till the last day of the season to become a team that's strongly competitive enough to keep fighting for the league title till the end of the current season. Liverpool is currently at the top of the league table but I think Arsenal stands a good chance of winning the league title at the end of the season ahead of first placed Liverpool and third placed Manchester City

[marcous]

I agree with this and the draw that Arsenal got against Man City provides a much bigger opportunity for them. Although in terms of points, this draw is quite profitable for Liverpool because they can smile a little more at being in first place in the standings now. Arsenal has a big chance to emerge as champions this season, but Arteta must see how the current points cannot be far behind Liverpool.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City still have a good chance of competing for the title, but now Liverpool is much more profitable and has a much bigger chance. Now we just need to look at the next few matches and if the three of them can play consistently then the standings will not change, so the title will be determined after one of them gets a disappointing result.

There are still a number of tough matches ahead that Liverpool, Arsenal and City must complete to achieve their goal of winning the Premier League trophy this season. What is clear is that the competition will not be easy although these three clubs appear more consistently than the other contestants, the pressure put on by the mediocre clubs also has the potential to hinder their progress in getting full points.

Another challenge faced by the three teams challenging for the title is the tight match schedule, where they are also competing closely in the European competition which has now entered the quarter finals. Teams that can avoid player injuries will be very lucky, because losing key players will make it difficult for them to win, especially in big matches against other elite teams.

Liverpool, who were lucky because City and Arsenal drew, are also not completely safe, because the point difference is currently very thin between the three of them, where one defeat could change their position in the standings. Pep Guardiola fleet will face tough opponents again next week, they will host Aston Villa, who have been quite impressive this season.

Now we just need to look at the next few matches and if the three of them can play consistently then the standings will not change, so the title will be determined after one of them gets a disappointing result.

The advantage for Liverpool is true, but it is not significant because this season still has 10 games left and Liverpool is only 2 points ahead of Arsenal and 3 points and Manchester City so anything is still possible to happen and the competition is still quite tight between these 3 teams, in fact I think This situation is possible to occur until the end of the season.

This draw is quite fair for both teams, it cannot be denied because it is clear that the strength of these two teams is quite balanced so that there is nothing to lose here either in terms of points or in terms of the ongoing competition at the top of the Premier League standings at the moment. This.

I highlight Arsenal's performance, even though they played at home to Manchester City, they did not falter and were still able to show their best performance, this indicates that the mentality of the Arsenal team is much better compared to last season.

[hahay]

Although Manchester City played at home and also had good dominance better than Arsenal in this match but anyway, the fact is that Manchester City also did not have a good chance to be able to make shots on target. Because after all, Manchester City only had one shot on target in this match, supposedly, if Manchester City had good dominance then Manchester City should have had a lot of shots on target. With this result, then at least Arsenal managed to provide good and difficult resistance to Manchester City who played at home. But indeed, a draw remains a good result for them, no matter whether Manchester City win or Arsenal win in this match because after all, in fact Liverpool will still have a great chance to return to the top position. So yes, the results that occur in this moment are still good for them, and the title race also continues.

When both of them didn't want to concede, they ended up playing it safe and not making any mistakes. The game in the first half was still quite exciting because we both tried to break through the defense, then in the second half there was no change but Man City dominated the game by continuing to lock down Arsenal defense. David Raya worked hard in that match, and he also had defenders who were able to cover the movements of De Bruyne, Haaland and also Bernando Silva, several times he didn't find a gap. In the end, these various points were only a fair result for both teams, but for Liverpool it was a big advantage. Liverpool wish came true because after Man City and Arsenal shared points, it provided more opportunities in the future for Liverpool. Because against Sheffield United it is not a big obstacle to get the full 3 points, while Man City and Arsenal have to rotate their players in preparation for the Champions League.

[Jossque]

Liverpool managed to win 2-1 in a tough match at home. In the 2nd minute, Brighton managed to take the lead with Danny Welbeck's goal but couldn't protect this score.Luis Diaz's goal in the 27th minute ended the first half with a 1-1 draw.Although the ball control was not in a certain side in the match, Liverpool's many shot attempts were wasted.I expected Liverpool to score more goals as they had 3 times more shots than their opponent.
In the most important match of the week, City and Arsenal drew and did not give their fans a match with a high level of viewing pleasure.It was a match in which both teams were in the championship race and both teams needed 3 points very much.Although the draw of this match was completely in favor of Liverpool, we know that both teams will still fight to the end in the championship race.City was more dominant than its opponent, but we saw that both teams had a very difficult time getting into goal positions.

The game went very well for me, the reason most people described the game as boring is because there were no goals as they expected. Arsenal started defending from the very first minute of the game because they accepted their role in the game as the underdogs and played it well. Manchester City did not loose, but it is not normal for them to play at home and not score any goal. Arsenal have the better record against them this season, which shows that Arsenal have improved and can surprise us all in this league competition.

[TelolettOm]

The advantage for Liverpool is true, but it is not significant because this season still has 10 games left and Liverpool is only 2 points ahead of Arsenal and 3 points and Manchester City so anything is still possible to happen and the competition is still quite tight between these 3 teams, in fact I think This situation is possible to occur until the end of the season.

But, at least, this is very beneficial for Liverpool by taking full points and finally being ahead of the three, even though only with a point distance that is still very competitive. However, no matter the distance, being at the top of the standings for a while is quite profitable. What Liverpool needs to do now is to never slip up and experience defeat. If they succeed in doing this until the season ends, then they will definitely be the winners. Meanwhile, the next match that they have to be very careful about is their match with Man United and also Arsenal at the top. Meanwhile for other matches, as long as they can be as optimal as possible, without wasting any chance, then Liverpool should be able to optimally get the full 3 points. Unless, if they make fatal mistakes and unnecessary carelessness, then it will be very detrimental to the club.

but it is true, the competition between the three, between Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City is still ongoing and competitive. No one can guarantee 100% who will be the EPL title holder this season at the end. This is why, I really love EPL, more competitive and more surprises.

[Issa56]

I hoped that City could beat Arsenal, they were much closer to win than Arsenal. I didn’t expect such a game from Arteta, I hoped that the match would be productive, but he chose to defend.

Arsenal played a defensive game in the match, which made the match kind of boring, the match wasn’t really interesting to me, Arsenal was just playing a defensive game, and Manchester City keeps on mounting pressure on them, if Arsenal played attacking game, they might be lucky to win the match, because they had some great opportunities even as they played a defensive game in the match. From Arsenal pattern of play, it is obvious that they didn’t went for a win in the match, because they used all their players to defend, all they wanted in the match was a draw, and they got it, but they are now back to second position, which will be kind of difficult to get to the first position again.

Exactly, Manchester City should be able to win the match against Arsenal. As you said, Manchester City always tries to give Arsenal shots but no one can penetrate the goalkeeper's defense.
Honestly, when I saw the match until the end but it ended in a draw, it was very sad because no one came out as a winner, the points on the standings board had no movement and Liverpool were still in first place on the standings board.
