Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Adams0001]

Liverpool lost a great opportunity, they are now in second place. Their championship chances have decreased because their fixtures are very difficult. There were very few places that saw them as first favorites anyway, Manchester City and Arsenal are much more confident. Liverpool will most likely finish the season third. I calculated that they would get 15 of the remaining 21 points, and that is at best. They have now lost their psychological superiority.

Liverpool failed to use all the chances that they had in the first half to score more goals, and they thought that is how the match will be only to their favor. They forget that in football the opportunities that you create for yourself and how well you were able to convert it to a goal is what matters the most. This gave Manchester united the chance in the second half to panic Liverpool and scores 2 goals.

Liverpool was lucky that a penalty was given to them, if not they would have lost all three points today. Liverpool managed to draw the match in order for them to share points with United. It is a tough season where only 10 goals and one point makes the difference on the three clubs topping the table. Whoever loses any match will make his chances of winning the trophy slimmer. Let the competition begins with the rest 7 matches.

I did not expect Manchester United to do so well. Erik Ten Hag did well to share a point with Liverpool today, now that Arsenal are topping the league table with goal difference, I think their remaining matches are not too tough anymore, they will try and win the remaining matches in the league, is a good opportunity for Arsenal to keep performing well to get the chance and win the league, because any mistake that Arsenal do now and lose point and make Manchester City lead the league, and I will say Manchester City  will win the Premier League again.

Liverpool must put in more effort in their remaining matches so that they do not lose any points. Football is unpredictable, and Arsenal can lose points now and cause Liverpool to reclaim first place in the league. Even in today's match against Manchester United, I did not believe Liverpool would draw with them because Manchester United are not in better form. If Arsenal and Liverpool continue to lose or draw, causing Manchester City to falsely lead the league, I believe Guadiola will easily win the title.

In this match Chelsea just tried to play possession without trying to attack or create chances and that's what they've done so far because if you look at 60 minutes for now in terms of chances, even Sheffield are better than Chelsea so far

But there is still a long way to go and i expect more from them in this game, especially after what they showed the previous week against Manchester United in the last  minutes so there is still hope for Chelsea.
But if it doesn't change by the end of the second half, then it's better for them to play against bigger clubs because their performances are always better against comparable or even higher level clubs than against lower level clubs, because they always play badly and this match can certainly prove that Chelsea are no better than Sheffield.

The extra time round in this match actually belonged to Sheffield because at 90+3 McBurnie actually made Sheffield manage to equalize the score again which made Chelsea have to lose their 3 points in the final minutes of extra time.

Honestly this is a little regrettable but in my opinion it is a natural situation for Chelsea and the 1 point result is appropriate if you look at the performance Sheffield showed in today's match.
Chelsea are very good in possession but for the problem of space in this match they are very bad and indeed Sheffiled is much better even though they play with a defensive scheme but the counterattacks and attacks they have are more targeted than Chelsea.

Results that are not really expected even though there is good momentum after they won crucially but this week they actually get unexpected results back from a club that is currently at the bottom of the table lol.

[Justbillywitt]

Chelsea will always be Chelsea, when you just think they have started reviving, they will disappoint you. Since the beginning of the season, whenever Chelsea takes a step forward they will count 5 steps backwards. How on earth will Chelsea not be able to defeat Sheffield United who are bottom of the premier league for as long as I can remember. After getting a good performance and winning Manchester United in a dramatic way, one will imagine that Chelsea will use that energy and crush Sheffield United. But it was just an imagination. I am still struggling to come to terms that Chelsea played a 2:2 draw with Sheffield United. This is really how bad Chelsea is after the billions of dollars that were spent on this team. What a shame.

[Oluwa-btc]

A bit dissapoint to see Liverpool defensive lines because in the second half their players did fatal mistakes because the goal from Bruno Fernandes is pure from Liverpool players mistakes and luckily Mo Salah can equalized the scores and Liverpool can avoiding to lost and about the race title indeed this result is very unfavourable for Liverpool because their place was overtaked by Arsenal but their chances is still equal with Arsenal and Manchester City for the trophy but although currently Arsenal can occupy first place but i think it's still hard to predict which team will be the champion this season

It was a mistake made by Quansah while the goalkeeper was in a position in front of course Bruno saw the opportunity to shoot directly and finally became a goal, that way Liverpool were behind a goal by Mainoo but fortunately Mo Salah's penalty kick equalized.

A little disappointed with this result but what words are made because this match took place more fiercely, now Liverpool are on the same points that differ on goal difference the competition will remain tight until the end of the season that's what I think now.

Mistakes are also part of the game just like Dalot did mid-week against Diego Dalot against Chelsea.At least they've have not lost to Jurgen Klopp this season.
It now seems like the only reason Manchester United had in the Premier League Competition was just to flog this nosey rivals today. Three successful fixtures and Liverpool couldn't get to win one. Klopp and the rest of the reds are disappointed.

No body nowadays have the balls to bash Onana, anyone? Because anyone who does that would know that hr has leveled up the game. It's just that Manchester United need to repair the midfielder's and defender's.

As for Chelsea, I don't blame them, I blame Mauricio Pochetino, bad decisions had really affected them.

[Furious 7]

Apart from the match, Arsenal are now the luckiest team, and they will be very grateful to United. There are now only 7 Premier League matches remaining, Arsenal, Liverpool and City will be under heavy pressure from their next opponents. Arsenal will have a tough match next week because they will face Aston Villa, while Liverpool and City will face easier opponents.

Now Arsenal are back on top but the problem is that the points difference is still not too far away making this still difficult and all clubs (Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City) still have the same opportunity depending on what they will show in the rest of the season this time.

Honestly until now my belief is still the same where Arsenal have the last probability to get the trophy even though they are at the top of the table at the moment.
Not that Arsenal are weak at the moment because being at the top has clearly proven that they have always been a solid club in the last 2 seasons but it's just that looking at the schedule in the rest of their matches I honestly still doubt whether they can continue to be consistent or not because of the remaining 7 matches now there are still a few matches which in my opinion are quite troublesome and it could make them lose points.

[3meek]

Today is a very interesting matchday... Man U did not lose to Liverpool, although they could even win, but they had the same bad luck as in the last match against Chelsea... But Liverpool disappointingly missed out on the top spot in the EPL... And Chelsea could not beat Sheffield, which is in last place in the standings...

[Obim34]

What a shame.

Chelsea performance today was very poor, something really outdated because it's unlike them after watching them play against Manchester united, someone sarcastically said during the Che VS Man United match, Chelsea players where just there physically but as for team spirit it was clearly Liverpool, no doubt nothing but the truth. I now observe each time Chelsea plays with small teams they always play on their worst performance unlike facing big teams. Pochettino really needs a lot of work to do in building up his team, this club is beginning to fade with a bunch of players who lacks composure and in all roundification an incompetent team.

[ShowOff]

Another shitty performance from chelsea. I thought that chelsea would be scoring a lot after thiago silva was opening the score for chelsea but things are going very far from what i have been planned before. I'm not surprised to see that both of the clubs played very slowly, but SHU is much more dominant in this match.
Chelsea once again demonstrates how shitty the performance from the club. It seems like that chelsea may able to lose against sheffield united which was one of worst club in the PL this time.

In this match Chelsea just tried to play possession without trying to attack or create chances and that's what they've done so far because if you look at 60 minutes for now in terms of chances, even Sheffield are better than Chelsea so far

But there is still a long way to go and i expect more from them in this game, especially after what they showed the previous week against Manchester United in the last  minutes so there is still hope for Chelsea.

I thought Chelsea could really secure 3 points against Sheffield today, but in fact I was wrong. Sheffield managed to force Chelsea to draw 2-2 after Oliver McBurnie scored in injury time. It's really hard to believe what Chelsea experienced in this match, they failed to win even though they dominated the match.

Pochettino ultimately had to regret the final result of this away match even though previously he was free to rejoice when he won against Manchester United. Fatigue is likely the reason why Chelsea failed to win, while Sheffield itself will not go anywhere even though they get 1 additional point at home. Sheffield will most likely be relegated at the end of this season, but home games are always considered prestigious.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Another thing is Red Devil is a celebrity to concede goal at the stoppage period, last Thursday they conceded 2 goals in extra time against Chelsea and lost the game even though they scored 3. Previously against Brentford, they almost won the match but unfortunately conceded 1 goal on 90+9' and drew the match. So Ten Hag's squad has such types of results, I'm expecting the same thing will repeat against Liverpool tomorrow.

Manchester United is having a bit defensive errors, they do relax whenever they score goals that is why they do concede goals some minutes after they score goals.

But one funny thing is that, they can surprise us in this match by trying to make corrections to what happened to them against Chelsea; and this will be a home match for Man United, they can do a good job for Arsenal and Manchester City to win or draw Liverpool.

So Ten Hag's squad has such types of results, I'm expecting the same thing will repeat against Liverpool tomorrow.

I am also with you in this, I predict the same for the next match to be another shot for Ten Hag. Manchester United current gameplay won't get them anywhere this season, every team needs strong defensive players and tactics to avoid losing points in the final minutes of every match. This scenario has happened more than once with the same mistakes and receiving foolish goals at the very end, surprisingly even against teams considered below their level. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, Ten Hag hasn't been any good for the Red Devils. There were conflicts with this coach over his poor decisions during Ronaldo's period 2 seasons ago, but nothing has changed.

On the other hand, Liverpool is playing for the title this year, allowing no chance for mistakes or losing points at this important time for them. They won’t risk losing their 3 point advantage so they don’t have another choice but to win tomorrow, and to maintain the gap above Arsenal and Manchester City since these both teams won today.

Look at this, I got it very funny :


https://youtu.be/Q0qCF6FeChc?si=gGEn-FutfUZmiSRo

I actually expected Liverpool to win this match. the way this match had been played, I actually started to think Manchester United might get away with three points from this match. You know you are probably going to concede towards the end of the match if you are Manchester United. By the way, this has made the title race a lot more interesting now.

Arsenal: match-31, points 71
Liverpool: match -31, points 71
Manchester City: match-31, points 70

@GxSTxV, From here on it is still for anyone to win. A few weeks ago I thought Liverpool is going to be the winner of the English Premier League. But now I am having my doubts. All three of them are equally good contenders for the title. The good thing is none of them have to think about any other team in the English Premier League because the fourth team is nowhere near them in terms of points.

[Hyphen(-)]

Today is a very interesting matchday... Man U did not lose to Liverpool, although they could even win, but they had the same bad luck as in the last match against Chelsea... But Liverpool disappointingly missed out on the top spot in the EPL... And Chelsea could not beat Sheffield, which is in last place in the standings...

I was really impressed with Manchester United’s performance in the second half of the match because they played very well in the second half to make it up to their disgraceful performance in the first half for not having any shot in the game at home. At the end, I hail Bruno, Kobbie Mainoo, and other players for the effort they put in the second half. The substitution of Garnacho was one of the mistakes Ten Hag made which caused more pressure to the team because he is a player that can be relied on when ever United is on counter attack, and Wanbisaka’s attempt was a bit hash even though the VAR clearly favored Liverpool because it is clear that he did not touch him but the attempt was there.

Chelsea on the other hand cannot be consistent for one’s, thy couldn’t defeat Sheffield United despite having advantage of scoring first; I think Chelsea need to sack Pochettihnho and sell some players that are not ready for the team’s success because I think they have good players with individual qualities that should have changed the narrative for long.

Tottenham secured an important three points to give them advantage ahead of Aston Villa in the fourth position with one match to be played.

What a shame.

I agree with you, in the last two seasons Chelsea have disappointed the fans quite often, they have never really consistently won every match, so it is not surprising that their current position is far from the European zone. Reshuffling the squad and changing coaches did not allow Chelsea to compete to become a team challenging for the title this season, most of the new players did not perform optimally and some of them had to struggle with long term injury problems. It could be said that Pochettino squad this season played well when facing big teams, but when facing mediocre teams like Sheffield United they will again appear unstable.

The budget spent on building an ideal squad did not go according to expectations, injury problems were the main excuse that Mauricio Pochettino often used when he failed to secure full points. In my opinion, Chelsea really has to replace the coach if they have the ambition to become an elite Premier League team again, because Mauricio Pochettino seems to have failed to take Chelsea in a better direction. For two consecutive seasons, Chelsea has been absent from European competition, which is very inconsistent with the budget they spend on recruiting players.

[Majestic-milf]

Liverpool have been given an opportunity after Aaron wan Bissaka conceded a penalty and you can literally feel the tension between the two sides. At the moment, Liverpool are back in second place behind Arsenal who are passing with goal difference and Man UTD who were able to drag themselves back into the game are finding it difficult to stay.
I must say I least expected Man UTD to be this aggressive, instead I felt they would be sorely dominated but it looks like they are ready to make things hard for Liverpool.

Once again Ten Hag made a very stupid decision. For some reason, he always felt that if Man United was in superior condition, the only option was to play defensively. Even though his strategy was never completely effective, he always insisted on using that strategy. Besides that, it was clear that Bruno Fernandes didn't play well tonight, but Ten Hag still forced Bruno to play until the final whistle. The only contribution made by Bruno Fernandes was that lucky goal, the rest is that every time Bruno holds the ball it will always end up at the feet of the Liverpool players.

I think making stupid decisions is becoming his forte. The decision to bring on Amrabat for Garnacho was one hell of a crazy one because Garnacho had more influence in the game than Amrabat could ever have made. For me, the substitutions made by ten Hag were as a result of pressure and not because he  was trying to lock shop and throw the keys away because we could see how Liverpool made light work of their defense. The only thing Man UTD could do was hope Jurgen Klopp's men didn't get the third goal and even though they've succeeded in halting Liverpool's progress to the top, not much can be said for their dreams of making it to the champions league.

With results like this,Arsenal and Liverpool now really have the same points with the same number of matches and yes, it would be interesting if the winner of the trophy was only determined or only had a difference in the number of goals.But indeed, there are still many matches to be played until the season ends, so Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will really continue to compete to finish at the top because now their points difference is only one point with Manchester City.

[pawel7777]

I actually expected Liverpool to win this match. the way this match had been played, I actually started to think Manchester United might get away with three points from this match. You know you are probably going to concede towards the end of the match if you are Manchester United. By the way, this has made the title race a lot more interesting now.
(...)

Liverpool deserved a win in that game and Man Utd only earned a draw by luck. The United's first goal was essentially a gift from Liverpool's defense. United once again proved that despite scoring 2 goals they are really lacking in attack. I expected to see some tactical changes from Ten Hag, but it doesn't look like he's willing or capable of improving anything.

I think 4th place is already out of reach for Man Utd, but they still can attack Villa's 5th spot. They are 11 points behind, but have one less game played and have much easier matches left to play, with the home game against Arsenal being the toughest one (potentially). Villa will have to face Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.

[Cookdata]

Now Arsenal are back on top but the problem is that the points difference is still not too far away making this still difficult and all clubs (Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City) still have the same opportunity depending on what they will show in the rest of the season this time.

The features might look identical but there is a high tendency of one team among Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal flopping within this remaining matches, so don't say they have the same opportunity, if Liverpool could draw with Manchester United that Chelsea flogged some days ago, you should expect some more drama from this remaining matches but in graining more confident in Arsenal because the way the are moving doesn't seems like they are moving but they are making significant moves.

Honestly until now my belief is still the same where Arsenal have the last probability to get the trophy even though they are at the top of the table at the moment.
Not that Arsenal are weak at the moment because being at the top has clearly proven that they have always been a solid club in the last 2 seasons but it's just that looking at the schedule in the rest of their matches I honestly still doubt whether they can continue to be consistent or not because of the remaining 7 matches now there are still a few matches which in my opinion are quite troublesome and it could make them lose points.

I never for one day consider a day will come like this that Arsenal will take back their rightful place, they were the top team from the beginning but when they started drawing matches, it affected them. At this point I think the Premier League just need to create an additional two trophy for Arsenal Manchester City and Liverpool so that this competition will calm, there isn't a margin between them, to tight just like the way they were sharing 63,64 and 65, any team that lose a match here will hardly make it again.

[dzungmobile]

It's quite impressive for Manchester United to be able to prevent Liverpool from getting three points in this match, because Manchester United managed to hold Liverpool to a draw, which basically that Liverpool really needed full points in this moment.

Liverpool before the match, were considered as stronger and could win this match easily but as a match between two big clubs, Manchester United even don't have good form recently, are able to constrain Liverpool. It is not an easy match for both and a draw is like a failure for Liverpool in their title race.

With results like this,Arsenal and Liverpool now really have the same points with the same number of matches and yes, it would be interesting if the winner of the trophy was only determined or only had a difference in the number of goals.But indeed, there are still many matches to be played until the season ends, so Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will really continue to compete to finish at the top because now their points difference is only one point with Manchester City.

Arsenal and Manchester City still have matches with big clubs in top six and chances to win a title is opened for all three competitors. One match can change positions in top three a lot like this match can be used as an example. Anyway Manchester City still have less chance in this race by temporary points and positions of all three clubs.

But Liverpool disappointingly missed out on the top spot in the EPL... And Chelsea could not beat Sheffield, which is in last place in the standings...

I had confidence that Liverpool win win the match, I placed my bet on Liverpool to win, but they disappointed me, I never expected draw from them in the match. When the first half of the match ended, and Liverpool was leading with 1 goal difference, I was expecting Liverpool to score multiple goals in the second half of the match, I never believed they will concede two goals in the second half of the match, Liverpool struggled before they could end the match as draw which is not really good for Liverpool. Seriously the league is now interesting, the top three clubs are really fighting for the league title, and all of them have equal chances of winning the league, I can’t really predict who will be winning.

Chelsea has not been consistent in their games few matches now despite winning 4:3 against Manchester united in their last encounter with them, Chelsea is a bit disorganised and unfocused, I think today would have been an opportunity for them to make a difference but what did we see, a different from what we expected, though any team can draw but there are teams that are consider weak and most big side will not give this chances to draw with this teams, this team is suppose to be a work over for Chelsea but it is unfortunate that Chelsea couldn't outshine the team.
This 2:2 result is not a good one for pochetino, the manger has to up his games so that good results will come, if I am to rate Chelsea, I will rate them as a struggling team, Chelsea has been struggling since the beginning of this season and they are not still getting it right.

Things are just going crazy and I think Chelsea needs to check themselves for a clue why the club is not doing well like the way we used to be happy when Chelsea is having match. Today's matches are just fun and funny to me. I had to leave the match when Chelsea was playing 1 - 1 thinking Chelsea would finally score and win the match. It is just too disappointing for me to see a once great team losing matches to smaller team that are never compared to them when it comes to playing games and having senior players. Manchester United have really done well and I was thinking thermy are going to lose with a big disgrace, but the match went the other way round.

It is weird how inconsistent their game actually is. You would expect that after such a spectacular turnaround against Manchester United, it gives the players some extra drive and motivation to continue that streak, but no. Chelsea is the one team this season in the Premier League that can't ever get their stuff straight. I think Pochettino is one of the worst coaches out there, but it seems that some football fans like him and consider him a good coach. In my opinion he hasn't really achieved anything in his career except for reaching the final in the Champions League with Tottenham. That was a nice run they had back then. But winning Ligue 1 with PSG doesn't count. I don't know how this guy gets these positions at top teams.
