Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[cryptofrka]

I kinda felt that Liverpool would struggle against West Ham. They are physically extremely hard to play against and they put other teams under a different kind of pressure - by playing a lot of long balls and crosses and with Rice and Soucek in midfield who are tall and hard to play around.

Still, Alisson made 2 huge mistakes and is the main reason we lost yesterday, you have to control your box a lot better. He's been good this season but that's how it works with goalies - if you make these kind of mistakes, you are directly responsible for the points loss.

Still early, we will bounce back. City and Chelsea were struggling as well.

[Oshosondy]

Chelsea would be very excited about this score line, they had drawn Burnley on Sunday and now liverpool lost to an ever blossoming Westham united...

This is a chance that Chelsea is appearing to be the winner of EPL this season, like I have once said, nobody knows who will be the winner yet, but the likely chance for Chelsea have just increased.

I best advice Chelsea not to let their guard down, even with the hammers hammering them today, Liverpool are still very much contenders for the EPL title this season.

Why Liverpool? EPL is more difficult to make that prediction, also how about Man City? Yet no one knows who will be the winner yet. Do not overate Liverpool, this is EPL not all those leagues with little to no competition.

I'm really surprise about Liverpool loosing today to West Ham FC,but I am still not too surprise because in football anything can happen

Why the surprise, maybe you do not check West Ham record this season or maybe because you do not follow the club, it was a home match for West Ham which is one advantage, West Ham is also good and having surprising players. Liverpool are too overrated.

[Woodie]

West Ham United knocked out Liverpool, who was unbeaten in 20 games.

Just for the record, Westham put to an end of Liverpools 25 match unbeaten run  and not 20....what an evening it was  

Manchester United and City fans are happy.....not forgetting Chelsea FC

Westham fans should be the happiest at the moment and generally everyone other than the Reds

You have summed up everything that went wrong with Liverpool which lead to Westham to win but how long can they keep up with this performance, because sooner or later once injuries start to come i see them dropping points but if all goes well...there is a possibility to actually challenge for the title and maybe win it altogether!

Indeed, keeping such a form is very difficult but that doesn't mean that Liverpool has to lose from West Ham. It was a big surpise and personally, I couldn't imagine it.
Chelsea loses its winning streak as well, Arsenal moves up from Man Utd, West Ham is in second place, and now EPL scores change again. Nice...!

Perhaps after the break for the national teams, we will again see a series of failures for the top clubs, since they suffer the most from the fact that a much larger part of their roster (compared to smaller clubs), instead of resting, spend their energy in national team matches. Those who are lucky enough to pass this stage with less losses will get a good advantage.

Arsenal's huge rise on the last weeks is very noticeable these days. They were on the brink of having one of their worst seasons considering the first weeks. People talked about the possibility of the manager Mikel Arteta's getting sacked immediately after getting very poor results. But somehow, Arsenal still managed to be reborn with Arteta and started getting very satisfactory results. They got 6 wins and 2 draws in their last 8 EPL games which is a really huge success for them. Now we are seeing them at the 5th position being only 2 points behind Liverpool and 6 points behind the leader, Chelsea.

If we take into account the games in the cup, then Arsenal has 8 wins in the last 10 games with 2 draws and zero losses. In fact, these are championship statistics. Arsenal will play the next match against Liverpool and it will be possible to assess the significance of both teams' claims to the championship.

Yeah good job from arteta he seem to finally find a game plan and he managed to creat a solid young team he has many good players and if they get the stability they can manage to became a consistent contender not this year but the upcoming ones they just need some time plus we will see how they will perform against tough opponents like liverpool, man united and west ham.

I best advice Chelsea not to let their guard down, even with the hammers hammering them today, Liverpool are still very much contenders for the EPL title this season. The Next EPL fixtures for the top 6 teams right now is going to mean alot for the season, I'm looking forward to it already.

I'm really surprise about Liverpool loosing today to West Ham FC,but I am still not too surprise because in football anything can happen,and in premier league,small teams can beat big teams at any given period of time.
Liverpool were really inform,and I never expected them to loose the match,but unfortunately,they did.
They will be playing against Arsenal in their next game,and it would be a very difficult test for the two teams who are behind each other on the table.I hope Arsenal win that match,or probably draw it to maintain their 10 matches  unbeaten run.

So Liverpool's next game against Arsenal will be very interesting, we'll see if Arsenal can continue their positive results so far, but usually
Arsenal often find it difficult to face big teams.  

I agree with the part of Arsenal performing poorly against big teams, I have noticed that too, and the next match against Liverpool would be hard for them, especially because Liverpool lost today so they will be more motivated to win against Arsenal, I doubt that Arsenal can upset Liverpool.

Arsenal can be proud of their unbeaten record in the last 8 matches in the Premier League, It's a great achievement for Arsenal after starting
the season so badly. Arsenal began to experience changes when they beat Norwich, after that Arsenal's performance began to improve and
be consistent. But at the beginning of the season Arsenal were beaten by Chelsea and Man City without being able to score goals, this is proof
that Arsenal have difficulty developing the game when facing a big team. Moreover, Liverpool's defeat against West Ham was Liverpool's first defeat
in the Premier League this season, then like you said Liverpool players must be very motivated to beat Arsenal. This will be one of the toughest
matches for Arsenal, but if Arsenal can at least make the game end in a draw, it's been a very good result for Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid have already lost to Liverpool twice recently despite having so many star players in their squad, and it was surely not an easy task for West Ham to beat Liverpool with the limited number of star players in their squad. I wonder how did David Moyes messed up as the manager of Manchester United in the past when he had so many star players under his lead. I guess it will be interesting to see if David Moyes could lead West Ham to gain a spot as one of the top four teams on the table in the English Premier League at the end of this season.

Arsenal have really up their game, will need to praise the coach for that,I think he is doing a good job with this naive arsenal team,players like Smith Rowe,White and the new keeper are playing at their highest level right now, thanks to the coach for showing confidence with younger players, and they are playing beautiful football too, he is truly a pep disciple.but I we take them serious if they can get a point in the Liverpool game.

Arsenal next match against Liverpool will be a major decider whether their top 4 aspiration will be guaranteed or not this season,  my desire is for the team to play atleast a draw at Anfield, though it's going to be tough for them, however they deserve some accolade, for a team that was down the table in the beginning of the season with Man Utd, Tottenham and other teams far above them now leading the above mentioned clubs is really a great achievement, I hope they continue with the winning mentality to prove all their critics wrong who had earlier questioned all the signings made by Arteta.

[Woodie]

1. Chelsea - 26 points
2. Manchester City - 23 points
3. West Ham - 23 points
4. Liverpool - 22 points

West Ham are performing just insanely this season that's for sure.  

There is a lot of pressure mounting at the top just from looking at how the points are spread-out and any team that drops points from now on are declared out of the race for sure...And if you compare the Leicester City team that won the premier league a few years ago to this West Ham side...i see some similarities as these are all average players with no big names to over shadow the team which makes them a dangerous team. It would be worth putting some money on the hammers to win this 2021/2022 league    

[Spack17]

The most surprising teams of this season have been West Ham and Arsenal definitely. West Ham are doing an extraordinary job with David Moyes. They have moved up to even the 3rd place now after jumping over the big Liverpool obstacle yesterday. It was clear that the game would be competitive for each side. But a win for West Ham? That was unexpected for me. Bookmakers also didn't give much chance for West Ham. But here they are!

When it comes to Arsenal, they got another win this time vs Watford home. Maybe it ended by 1-0 but a win is always a win. Arsenal have succeeded in climbing to the 5th place now. And they are only two points away from Liverpool which seems like a dream for me. Who would have thought that Arsenal would make a huge comeback in the standings and catch up with the top places? I didn't think of it.

I totally agree with you and i think what west ham achieved so Far is totally unexpected, but for arsenal i think whatever what happened to them un the previous season arsenal still arsenal and they can do more than this in my opinion

I am wondering if Harry Maguire has shares with Manchester United for him not to be benched or dropped after too many errors.

ol. Let's see if he is the owner of 10% of Man United. 🤣. I don't think they have the mentality as big club players. I only see Ronaldo, Bruno they're great players, but they're surrounded by players who haven't had the mentality of holding the ball to master the pattern. This is different during the era of Sir Alex and Solskejaer. At the moment I think they have to be brave to hold the ball, play between players, not panic and have a well-composed pattern. It looks like Ole didn't provide mental training well.

[oHnK]

After going through several games with successive defeats, this time there is news that Ole will be sacked from his position if his team loses their match against Chelsea.  But this could have happened sooner because in the next Champions League they will also be competing with other teams.  United's team has also been frustrated by the lack of direction from Ole.  But the funny thing is why the new management is thinking seriously now, even the name of Ole's replacement is also quite foreign to me because it was previously reported that Conte replaced him but it turned out to be different.  Currently, the candidate for Ole's replacement is RB Leipzig.  Is he really capable of bringing this team back up?

I think Ole doesn't give the players a good mentality so this tends to not have a good attitude so it will be very different from the past until now and nowadays it always relies on strategy and that's how it is from the coach himself, for me Ole still unable to give mental to his care.
Even if Ronaldo, Bruno, Pogba are talented players, if they are surrounded by mentally deficient people, it will follow him and not improve, but his performance will decrease even more.

This is a real testament to Arteta and Arsenal's calculations of not sacking him was one of the right decisions.
on the other hand they are quite solid at the moment and indeed it cannot be separated from the hands of an arteta who is quite good at managing players from arsenal.
from a different point of view i would like to appreciate ramsdale's play in guarding arsenal's goal over the last few games.
i think ramsdale is better now when he is in the arsenal bar

[Alanaz]

Liverpool vs arsenal will be tough , looking from the performances of arsenal recently. Arsenal are coming up in their defense  which are really love   . Arsenal players are putting heads together this time around and it's working for them.

I think quite the opposite.
their game is now almost the same and for sure this match will be very exciting to watch considering arsenal are now in good form.
on the other hand liverpool should be able to return to their winning ways because indeed they lost to westham a few days ago, and to keep their hopes of winning the premier league title I think they will attack like in the previous game
