Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Shasha80]

The league will settle after a hectic schedule over Xmas & New Year. I think you’re right, Spurs may last up there a little longer but they have a tough run of fixtures coming. The title will be mainly contested between Man City & Liverpool when the business end of the season arrives.

That's how it should be, City and Liverpool are currently the two best teams in the land and as much as I want to believe the title is between the both of them, I just can't for now, no team is particularly spectacular and no team looks heads and shoulders above the rest, just look at how many goals city have scored thus far, it's simply poor, we've been waiting for them to pickup, but it's eight games played already and they are yet to start looking like title contenders imo.

City play spurs after the international break, that game is a must-win for Manchester City, if Mourinho can win this match, then he can start to believe that he and his spurs team actually have a chance of winning the title, Mou is a multi time epl winner and the way this season is going, I wouldn't count spurs out just yet.

I agree Manchester City's form so far has been very poor, During the 8 matches that have been run by Manchester City, they cannot convince
that they are title contenders. And next Manchester City will face Tottenham, it's a very interesting game. Because this match really determines
whether Manchester City is still worthy of being title contenders or not, therefore Manchester City must prove in a way they have to win against
Tottenham. Then for Tottenham if they manage to win against Manchester City, they can have a chance to win the title this season.

It seems like this will be another disappointing and horrible season for Arsenal fans to endure as Aston Villa could even managed to score 3 goals against Arsenal in their last match. With only 4 wins out of 8 games played, I believe there is a high chance Arsenal will not be able to compete for a spot on the table to qualify for the Uefa Champions League next season.

Most chances this will happen as they will not able to qualify for Champions League this season again even they have some quality players they have still too many issues and its not new all they need some good time for settling things and hopefully if Arteta will be here for some more time then they will able to improve in next few years.

Arteta will need some time to create a team capable of competing at the top. He deserves the time to create something special, fans will have to be patient, it won’t be a smooth ride.

 Liverpool v Leicester City is the Match that will tell us if Leicester can compete till the end of the season.

[DeathAngel]

The title will go to Man City or Liverpool, it is only 8 games into the season. Most seasons there are one or two teams who start well but collapse as we get into mid season onwards. I expect Leicester & Tottenham to fall away.

Sure they can, but they need more players like Jamie Vardy and some luck with injuries.
I remember following them last year and they did very good, finished 5th but they even had chance to finish on 4th place for Champions League.
Liverpool is huge favorite in this match, and odds are low on them, but anything is possible, and I would be happy with a draw.

Well, you can't ignore the Mourinho factor in Tottenham.  He knows very well how to play on the result. They play good under Pochettino, now with Bale, they have more options, plus experienced manager.
I am not sure whether Liverpool can withstand the loss of another key player like VVD. I think Mane's form is very important to them and if he's not good, it will reflect his results.
Both team Liv and ManCity currently have very poor defence and it will be hard to play against counterattack teams. there will be a lot of lost points.

Plenty of time till the end, people are too quick to decide. One single injury can change a lot and each international break can change a lot and now we have another one. So basically from my POV there are a lot of teams that have a chance this year as this year is anything but normal.

Tottenham and Mourinho have been escalating their progress to make a permanent transfer for Bale from Real Madrid. The bad performance of Lucas Moura and Delle Alli since this season's beginning and the efforts and positive mentality of Bale make them think Bale 9 will be a good player for Spurs. Bale slowly gets his fitness back and I wish he will get in a good form soon.

Maurinho has to do everything within his power to ensure Bale stays in the Spurs team as he seems very much like the best man for the team. He's already doing well with the team and have a few goals already.

You make a good point about the teams that usually start the season well but later loose their potential and thirst for winning as the tournament proceed but I dont think Man City will hold this season title. However, there's chance that Tottenham wont be among clubs that will fall away during the mid of this season through the end cause they are planning to get a player that will somehow help the team

8th matchday is over but Leicester still on the lead, however they had relatively easy opponent (Wolves which is in the middle of the tabble)
We can see only 3points gap between top1 and top6, and sixth Aston Villa has one match less played. Very interesting season!
 

I think very interesting.  The 3-point difference can be easily covered.  It's a complicated season.  Leicester could be 6 at a time.  The Premier League will be very exciting this year.

Great player but his age, wages & struggles to keep fit make him an unattractive PERMANENT transfer. He’s great to have on loan for a season though.

Who would that player be? Somehow there is rumours that Tottenham might try to get Bale on permanent transfer and if they do then they will spend a fortune for him. Bale could be a good choice but only if he could keep up with the premier league pace but from what I've seen, he is no longer the same beast as few years ago

Premier League is only on its 8th round so there isnt any major difference in points yet. One lose would end up making those team out of the top 4 spot so pretty much anything can still happen at this early stage

Tottenham and Mourinho have been escalating their progress to make a permanent transfer for Bale from Real Madrid. <...>

His contract expires next year. In fact, he could negotiate a new contract with another team in the next transfer window since he'll be a free agent in 2021. It's very likely that he'll reach an agreement with Spurs to lower his wages, then they'll have to negotiate a fee with Real Madrid and it's a done deal. He'll definitely be a Tottenahm player next season.

Correct, there isn't much difference between teams in 1-15th position currently. Couple of mess up in 3-4 rounds for a team can make the clear way for later teams to climb up the ladder or go past them. Below 15 are Birghton, Fulham, West Brom, Burnley, Sheffield which are clearly struggling so far.

Glad for Bale to be back at team where he is finding good amount of playing minutes. He clearly doesn't have future at Madrid and Madrid also wants to get rid of Bale. Bale to Tottenham seems like a likely thing to happen.

Arsenal and Aston Villa match was breathtaking for the football lovers. It was exciting and entertaining. But on the other hand, it was disappointing for Arsenal fans as Arsenal lost that match. Aston Villa's score was 3, but it was unfortunate that Arsenal scored nothing.
Inside the opening minute, Grealish cut into the box and found McGinn with a cut back and the Scot found the top left corner with a hammer of a finish. Leno was nowhere near the ball but felt his vision was impeded by Barkley. After much complaining, VAR took a look and advised Martin Atkinson to do the same on the pitchside monitor. After a long wait, the referee disallowed the goal. Grealish and Barkley then started to play confidently. But it was unfortunate that Bukayo Saka unintentionally redirected the ball into his own net from a cross after a nice bit of build up play from Villa. Villa continued to look like the better side as the second half started and were eventually awarded for their dominance with a pair of goals from Ollie Watkins to extend their lead to three and put the match away.
Arsenal shotted 13 goals and on the other hand Villa shotted 15 goals on the goal post. Arsenal fouled 11 times and Villa fouled 13 times. No team got red or yellow cards.
It was a great match. Aston Villa played incredibly. But Arsenal players were very much disappointed with their performance. After the match, Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta said, "The way we lost today really hurts".

Great player but his age, wages & struggles to keep fit make him an unattractive PERMANENT transfer. He’s great to have on loan for a season though.

Do any of you think that Bale has somewhat become worse in recent years? He scored about a dozen goals in almost each season during 2013-2018. Suddenly he's putting out only 2 goals last year, which sounds like the reason Real sent him on loan in the first place. I don't think this is the kind of player that Spurs wants to keep forever.

He also got an injury this year that made him miss 11 games in the span of 37 days.

I think the loan deal they got him on was ludicrous and was practically a transfer in all but name. It wasn't a good deal at all. They should have waited for his contract to expire and got him for free though I get the feeling Mourhinio doesn't have time to waste. I certainly don't think they should be paying anything to sign him permanently when they can get him for free if they wait. There's no way he's going back to Real that's for sure.

How can you score goals when he didn't even make the bench half of the time? Real Madrid were foolish to not utilise him when he was fit and Zidane not even having him on the bench when he was available was silly. They only loaned him out because Zidane made it publicly clear he wasn't in his plans so they might as well try recoup some of the ludicrous wages they're paying him to keep the bench warm or play golf.
