Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Egii Nna]

Today is just a day of miracles... First, Liverpool lost to an underdog... Then Arsenal also lost at home to Villa... By the way, in all three matches the guests won... Of course it's all a strange coincidence and now Man City are top of the standings... I think they will be there until the end of the season...

I was also surprised when I saw the scores because I was busy today and was not able to witness the games, but seeing them lose against their opponents is very surprising because I know that Liverpool have a high chance of winning the game again. Even from the game as I saw it, Liverpool played a better performance than Crystal Palace, but due to a lack of luck, they were not able to get a single goal, which was such a surprising event. But that is what a game is normally like: some times you win while some you lose, especially when it comes to a game of luck.
 
That of Arsenal was the most surprising one because Aston Villa won their goal in the second half, where the goal interval was not more than three minutes, while for the complete first half, the game was like it belonged to Arsenal. When they came back for the second half, Aston Villa just kept on with the game, and luckily enough, they won the game, which is good for them, so now Arsenal and Liverpool are sharing the same point.

Arteta doesn't learn from mistakes and Arteta continues to make them. It's hard to believe, even though this is the time for Arsenal to top the standings, they were unable to take advantage of this opportunity properly. It could be said that in this match Arsenal were defeated by their former coach and former players, Emery and Martinez. From yesterday's and today's matches, Cristal Palace and Aston Villa immediately paved the way for Man City to lift the trophy, so Man City should be grateful to them.

Absolutely, as you say. The fight for the EPL trophy seems to be over. Just give the trophy directly to Manchester City. Because, if Man City is at the top, it is difficult to go down. In addition, the remaining matches are also more profitable for Man City because they have easy opponents. Arsenal still has to face Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United. Liverpool played three away games in a row.

I know this is hard to believe after many people were optimistic that there would be no change in position in the standings this weekend. Liverpool and Arsenal were both favorites to win the match, but how shocked everyone was when they had to face the fact that Arsenal and Liverpool had to lose in the same week and gave Manchester City an open way to win the title.

Of course I agree with what you say, Manchester City deserves to thank Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. But Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are basically just fighting for their own destiny instead of helping Manchester City top the standings.

Arsenal can be so unreliable, I thought they wouldn’t be overthrown from that position but they just made me lose hope in them again. This was what happened last season and now we are back at the same thing, with history trying to repeat itself again. I thought Arsenal should have learned better and wouldn’t allow this to happen to them for the second term. Liverpool initially has the opportunity and they failed to remain at the top, then Arsenal had one too and also failed now, let’s see if Manchester City will utilize the opportunity better than the other two teams in the top three contenders for the league title.

Liverpool played three away games in a row.

Let the title go to who befits it the more and with no much explanation, I think Manchester City should be the befitting club for it. Everything is just happening like it did last season and without much speculations anymore, Manchester City will be hard to be replaced from they first position they’ve just attained. With their champions league hopes on the bridge of collapsing, they will make sure this doesn’t slip through them and be at great loss. They either win one, or two, or even go for treble this season because they’re still in the FA cup competition.

Liverpool and Arsenal loosing today is Such a great opportunity for Manchester city to comfortably climb to the top of the table and just like last season be able to win the trophy again a d defend the trophy as the defending champion, i had a friend today saying that Manchester city is most definitely going to win the title this season, that they have been able to crack the premiere league code a d they now know how to always win the premier league.

Not minding their position, if they are at any point still around the top three and the season has got fee weeks before it comes to an end, you can be sure they will most likely win the trophy just like they have done last two seasons a s even Arsenal has been unable to win the trophy regardless of how close they get to winning the trophy. Rod Liverpool actually got me disappointed because even while they were loosing by a goal i still trusted them to be able to win the game by the second half but it was actually really sad to see them loosing at the end of the second half even when they appeared superior to crystal palace

Arsenal roo also got me shocked because they had a better form a d they were aswell playing very much better with all their squad complete, i was thinking Arsenal wouldn't let the event of last season repeat but it's gradually looking like they are about to loose the trophy again just like it did happened last season, i actually expected Arsenal will be able to maintain their form a d win or draw most games till the end of the season so they can win the trophy.

Shocking results been recorded today, how do we explain how two competitive clubs loss. First it was Liverpool losing 1 nil against Crystal Palace at Anfield, the same ground they lost 3 nil to Atalanta last week. Secondly we witnessed Arsenal been thrashed 2-0 and Aston Villa steal the glory tray, this is no good news for Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp. While its a glorious moment for Manchester City, they're parading as champs, it is another golden opportunity for Pep Guardiola to win the EPL title and him and his team will ensure they're strong enough to win.

Arsenal will not be able to win the title this season from what I watched, I don't know if the fault started from the changes but I don't think Arsenal can win anymore with such performance if only they continue like this. Liverpool also lost at Anfield surprising, I never expected the poor performance from both teams but the amazing part is how did Crystal Palace manage to defeat Liverpool, what will happen next or it's likely we might see Manchester city winning the title this season again.

[Leviathan.007]

Seeing surprises happen sometimes in the league is part of the game, and that made Premier league become the most interesting league in the world to watch because its the most difficult to predict, and furthermore, I doubt if anyone thought today Liverpool and Arsenal would lost at home soil, and it really such a sad for their fans and supporters of both clubs who are hopping to see their teams continue to do well towards this end of the season.

Honestly, this is a very big surprise for Arsenal to lose against Aston Villa and for Liverpool to lose to Crystal Palace in their home games. I don't think anybody will really think of this kind of thing will happened today. As Arsenal fans, the loss is just as imagination to me, because I never think that Arsenal will lose on its home ground. But for this loss, if I have to blame someone, it is Arteta. I will fully blame because I don't know why it started with Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko and allowed them to play the full match  and later sub-Odegaard and White when he these are players attacking. I was not expecting Arteta to sub-white when Zinchenko was in the field. 

Losing points at an important moment like now is the biggest surprise, we didn't expect Arsenal to be beaten by Aston Villa at the Emirates. Apart from that, we also didn't expect that Liverpool strength had weakened and that they also had the same fate as Arsenal, Crystal Palace managed to tackle Liverpool at Anfield. So for this surprising defeat in Week 33, Man City got great luck, because Pep Guardiola squad managed to lead the standings by 2 points. Of course Arteta and Klopp are fully responsible for their team performance, but the fight for the trophy is not completely over and surprises could happen again.

Man City journey in the next 6 remaining matches looks easier than Arsenal and Liverpool, it is very likely that Pep Guardiola squad will win the Premier League trophy again this season. It seems like our worries about Arsenal have returned, Arsenal again failed to maintain consistency towards the end of the season. Liverpool, whose ambition is to make a beautiful farewell to Klopp, will also reach a dead end, Man City looks like it will succeed in ruining the dreams of its two competitors.

More than any team. Manchester City is not happy to see Liverpool and Arsenal losing their games. That's the strategy of Guardiola, he usually wins the title at the last minute by using the mistakes of the other teams. The game against Aston Villa couldn't be a hard game for Arsenal and they could easily beat Aston Villa because of the better station and better player they have in Arsenal but unfortunately, Arteta lost the chance and Aston Villa won this game with a 2-0 result which is not something we could even expect to see.
Now Arsenal is in the second place in the Premier League with 71 points.

The reason why the defeats were surprising is because both Arsenal and Liverpool are in the title race together with Manchester City; since Manchester City won their match, they will be pressure with Arsenal and Liverpool, and the worst past is that, the opponents facing them are not weak teams that’s the defeat was shocking.
I still expect Manchester City to also drop some points because they cannot go away with all the remaining points since they some tough matches to ply.

It's been a disappointing week for Liverpool and Arsenal, but a happiest week for Manchester City. Manchester City automatically did not move down from the top of the standings after they managed to win 5-1 over Luton in the previous match, while Arsenal and Liverpool lost their respective matches against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

This scenario must have been discussed before because basically the top three teams have the same chance of winning the title. Manchester City ultimately leads the standings with a 2 point gap above Arsenal and Liverpool, but I still don't say Manchester City is safe to defend their title even though they have 6 games until the end of the season.

[Marykeller]

WTF, Liverpool even struggle against Crystal Palace, this is no joke. If Liverpool lose in this match, I don't believe they can win either in Premier League or Europa League.

It's unbelievable that Liverpool had to struggle against Crystal Palace after many predictions were given for them to win Crystal Palace since they lost to Atlanta in the Europa League, their focus should be on the Premier League to win their remaining matches since it will be hard to win Atlanta at their home. This unfortunate that this lost match against Crystal Palace has denied them the aim of lifting the Premier League trophy. What Liverpool should do next, is to try their possible best to win their upcoming match against Atlanta, so that they might fall lucky to lift the Europa League trophy. At least by the end of the season, they will be adding another trophy in addition to Community Shield

Liverpool has used everything they had to win the game in order to secure its place for the title race, but Palace's defensive line was too strong and Liverpool was unable to break through it. It makes liverpool so frustrated with the result against palace. Palace delivered an incredible performance in this game and i do appreciate it. I never expected Palace to win with just one goal against Liverpool but since this is the result and liverpool must acceot it. We are all still waiting for the outcome of Villa vs Arsenal.
Villa repeated the palace's parking bus strategy. You can imagine if Liverpool and Arsenal's remaining matches are against the parking bus strategy. It means that any match between Liverpool and Arsenal will be extremely difficult to win.
This is what Pep Guardiola wanted in order to help his team win the game quickly and hope arsenal/liverpool to lose more points. Things are going even better than before for pep guardiola and his club, as the city has a great chance to lead the competition once more considering that arsenal has very bad result in the match against aston villa. It should be noted that City has the easier fixtures compared to Liverpool and Arsenal, city's chance to win the game is very big this time.
Arsenal will still face several strong clubs, which may prevent the club from earning full points. Villa's goal now and lead the game with two goals. Arsenal may repeat last season's result of being a bottle jobs club.
Two goals from Aston Villa. What a game. Arsenal once again recorded another bad result on its history. It's not as a winner but as a club that was often bottled the trophy.

As Liverpool and Arsenal have lost their 3-point gaps to keep topping the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City, I am predicting that Manchester City will lift this year's Premier League trophy just because they have fewer tough matches to play compared with the ones of Arsenal and Liverpool. However, I do not find this match lost by Arsenal and Liverpool to be funny because they have allowed Manchester City to become the champions of the English Premiership again for four consecutive times if they win this one, which they win.

Both Liverpool and Arsenal just cheaply handed the EPL league title to Manchester City. Arsenal is experiencing exactly what they went through last season when they lost the league almost at the end of the season. The difference between the two sides in Emirates Stadium is that Aston Villa maximized the few opportunities they had while Arsenal had more chances but failed to utilize them.

 In the case of Liverpool, this loss is not a surprise after the heavy defeat at home against Atalanta. Maybe Jurgen Klopp was right when he said he would leave the club at the end of the season, he may have perceived that he doesn't have much to offer again. With this win, Aston Villa just boasted their chance of going to the Champions League, while Crystal Place just moved further away from the relegation zone. The bottom line is that it will be very difficult for Manchester City to lose grip of the number one position.

[Weawant]

Arsenal will not be able to win the title this season from what I watched, I don't know if the fault started from the changes but I don't think Arsenal can win anymore with such performance if only they continue like this. Liverpool also lost at Anfield surprising, I never expected the poor performance from both teams but the amazing part is how did Crystal Palace manage to defeat Liverpool, what will happen next or it's likely we might see Manchester city winning the title this season again.

I agree with this because actually Arsenal is beginning to look like they don't have the form to be able to maintain their position till the end of the season except if Manchester city loose and give them the opportunity to come and stay ahead of them on the league table again which is almost not possible, because Manchester city will for no reason give Arsenal that opportunity to get back to the top of the table and secure the trophy.

Manchester city is most definitely going to win the trophy this season and that's most possible because they have shown it in their performance and the very interesting part is that arsenal is currently at the third position although it will require a very few points for them to get to the top of the table but then not in this critical moments that Manchester city or Liverpool will allow for that. Manchester city has actually replicated what happened last season as they have been able to get to the top of the table again few weeks to the end of the season instead of Arsenal that was looking promising.

I had taught that Arsenal would be able to maintain the top position this time after getting there earlier and went down back again due to their poor performance and inability to be able to maintain the position on the table. Liverpool may likely not finished with the trophy and even the Europa is no longer looking promising to them because they are at the verge of loosing it due to they most recent performance.

The explanation is probably in the depth of their squad. The number of games in both domestic and European league competitions will tire them out and the result usually shows towards the end. It could be the same as last season for Arsenal when they were looking like a run away leader but couldn't finish the race strong. I think Liverpool has a better team than Arsenal but it's City that has the best overall.

I still expect Manchester City to also drop some points because they cannot go away with all the remaining points since they some tough matches to ply.

And I also thought, why were they so compact, losing in the same week and without a single goal that they could score in that match. It's still better for Liverpool, who only conceded 1 goal, but this is Arsenal, who even conceded 2 goals. Whatever the reason or situation, the result of their defeat was truly profitable for Man City. Especially this week, Man City won with quite a lot of goals, 5 goals. This is really in contrast to the other 2 competitors. Is this funny or annoying? Man City really seemed to have been given such a smooth ticket to be in first place.  

And the next question is, who will be in first position until the end?
Who will be the best run?
Manchester City?
Arsenal?
Liverpool?
This may (probably) change again.

Unbelievable. Arsenal lost to Aston Villa twice in a season. I am sure it is the fault of the coach. Every single minute of the game i watched it clearly. The errors started from the formation. Where he had to bench Martinelli and started Trossard in the first half. When he is fully aware that Trossard is a game changer and not a starter. Secondly, he kept Jorginho on the bench and played Havertz as midfielder in the first half. This is so crazy you know! It's obvious that Arteta is not ready to win the league, all the Arsenal fans are extremely disappointed with Arteta. Because this was the only opportunity to top the league and win it. Now that Manchester City is at the top there is no going down for them. The league is for them now.

Arteta doesn't learn from mistakes and Arteta continues to make them. It's hard to believe, even though this is the time for Arsenal to top the standings, they were unable to take advantage of this opportunity properly. It could be said that in this match Arsenal were defeated by their former coach and former players, Emery and Martinez. From yesterday's and today's matches, Cristal Palace and Aston Villa immediately paved the way for Man City to lift the trophy, so Man City should be grateful to them.

Absolutely, as you say. The fight for the EPL trophy seems to be over. Just give the trophy directly to Manchester City. Because, if Man City is at the top, it is difficult to go down. In addition, the remaining matches are also more profitable for Man City because they have easy opponents. Arsenal still has to face Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United. Liverpool played three away games in a row.

Arteta and Arsenal experienced the same incident as the previous season, they were a little closer to winning the league but in the end they became runners up, surely most Arsenal fans feel very disappointed, being disappointed twice is a very bad thing in my opinion, if Arteta used the same strategy and composition of players surely this would not happen to Arsenal, I also don't understand why he included Martinelli and Havertz in the first half, but maybe my positive thought is that he wants to try to save energy and in the second half he can stabilize his players, but the results are bad and not according to the original plan, yes I think Arsenal were humiliated twice at home, this is tough but ridiculous.

Guardiola and Manchester United benefited greatly this week, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa wins saw him fly to the top again, I think Guardiola needs to say thank you by giving a warm greeting to both teams, and yes, Manchester City if already at the top it is difficult to go down, unless they lose KDB like before which makes their strategy ineffective and messy when there is no KDB in their starting lineup on the field, we will hand the English Premier League trophy back to Mr. Guardiola this season.

Racing between Guardiola and Arteta is very interesting for me. Before Arteta joined Arsenal and worked there as a coach he was working with Guardiola in Mnacshter City and they were friends there.
Arteta learned a lot from Guardiola and a big part of his knowledge came from Guardiola. Two friendly they had amazing days in Manchester City.
Now since Arteta is working at Arsenal he is guiding the team to keep racing with Manchester City, In the last season he lost it because of the more experienced of Guardiola. I'm waiting to see the end of this race while Arteta is more experienced than last season.

This match was very strange, many had bet all in to support Liverpool and Arsenal but in the end they had to swallow their disappointment and the gamblers lost a lot of money, only those who placed a full bet on Crystal Palace and Aston Villa managed to get a lot of luck . With this defeat, the two big clubs have missed the opportunity to be at the top of the standings and in the end Manchester City still won and managed to secure their position at the top of the standings.

It could be the same as last season for Arsenal when they were looking like a run away leader but couldn't finish the race strong. I think Liverpool has a better team than Arsenal but it's City that has the best overall.

It was in the Liverpool's game against Crystal Palace today was where the shocking result started which I thought Mikel Arteta will capitalize on it to go top the league by winning their own game but surprisingly, their match against Aston Villa produced more shocking result. The title race I don't think will be as strong as it was when either of Liverpool or Arsenal were leading the table and that's because, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City would definitely want to dominate till the title is won.

[Solokan]

After losing against Atalanta in the European league in the 1st leg, now in the EPL Liverpool have swallowed the bitter pill again and honestly I didn't expect that Liverpool would be defeated by Crystal Palace with a score of 0-1 and as the host they were really embarrassed by Crystal Palace. Honestly, I didn't think I would lose the bet because I thought Liverpool would win and it's a shame that Liverpool players weren't able to take advantage of opportunities in front of the Crystal Palace goal. I think Klopp must be able to repair all of that so that in the next match Liverpool can perform well and win the match.

Of course, Liverpool's defeat made Manchester City happy. But of course there is still hope for Liverpool and the competition will definitely continue until the end of the season.
Yes, sometimes we cannot predict the results of matches.

and I also didn't expect Arsenal to be defeated by Aston Villa. Of course Manchester City is really lucky.

[snipie]

English Premier League is definitely the best and most exciting league in the world. Not only having many teams dominating the league at the same time but the close gap between them makes things crazier!
Manchester City weren't expected to end this round the first. Gunners were facing at home Astana Villa. Even though Aston Villa is a good team, yet losing by two goals to nothing at home was a bad thing for Arteta and his players.
Liverpool in the other hand were playing home too but against Crystal Palace which is a mild team.
EPL will continue to be intense until the end of the season

This week has been a big advantage for Manchester City after Arsenal and Liverpool suffered quite surprising defeats, just because 1 match made the difference in the Premier League standings.
The Premier League always presents fierce competition in the race for the title, that is also what is happening this season and now Manchester City is at the top of the standings and they are the favorite.

Arsenal and Liverpool's defeat at home this week was quite surprising in my opinion, these two teams don't seem to have a strong mentality to compete for the title.
