Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[$crypto$]

Actually I really hate to say Liverpool had to draw in the previous game vs Tottenham. I thought Liverpool played pretty well the whole game where the players pushed the Tottenham players into their defence a lot, but damn it didn't win us out. If previously Liverpool was only 1 point adrift of Manchester City, now City are 3 point ahead of Liverpool. But luckily Chelsea also drew in other match.

The dominance of the second game is quite good, Liverpool must share the points and now the points are quite tolerable with Mancity, for me it is increasingly difficult to catch up to table 1 because a tight rival is not easy for Liverpool and Chelsea will move easily, will stay with this draw going forward must stay consistent and Liverpool may be able to move on but chelsea have to focus enough on their game.
I heard the news that many chelsea players have contracted covid-19 so this is a problem for Tuchel whose players cannot be relied on.

Kane so far has never played as well as he used to be before the summer drama. After that transfer drama, Kane struggles to play better in Tottenham. Previously, I think it is problem from lack of training in summer but it seems Kane have more other problems. Son still be the best player in Tottenham and he has big contributions: goals, assists, and tactic operations.

I definitely agree. After the crisis about leaving the team and joining Manchester City, he was really unhappy for a very long time. And we saw this reflecting on his performance a lot. He was able to score only one goal in the EPL. This was really horrible. But now, Conte's arrival seem to have affected him in a good way. It's like he started having the willingness to play like in the old times.

Surely there were few issues before arrival of Conte and there were rumours that Kane wants to leave Tottenham because he wants to play some big clubs for winning trophies, but now things are change very quickly because Conte is really man for trophies and with this now Kane dilemma is also ended even now he will leave in summer then surely Tottenham is going to have some better replacement, and now they are having some good chance of having some good spot with very investments and better strategy.

But most chances, Kane will stay here and will do some good work for having some better future here in this club which is really strong and have good quality for winning trophy.

I'm not sure about the "winning trophies" part. Because Tottenham haven't been a team that are capable of winning the Premier League trophy for a very long time. And I believe that they still aren't. They need to make some important changes for the team to have a chance for the title in the next season for example. It is not impossible for them as we have even a Leicester example. They just need to create a good formula to make it.

I agree that Leeds aren't going to be relegating from the Premier League at least for this season. They are having a bad period nowadays of course but they would leave these bad days behind sooner or later. When it comes to Newcastle, they are one of the favourites for now when it comes to relegating from the league. But the next transfer window is nigh. And their future will be depending on signing good players in this transfer window.

The relegation favorite this season in my opinion are Norwich City, Watford and Burnley. I didn't put Newcastle United there because they still have a chance to improve their performance if in the transfer window they manage to get some good players. They don't need to buy too many talented young players, they just need to bring in experienced players who aren't used much by their old team from Serie A, Premier League, Laliga or Ligue 1.

Some PSG players seem very likely to be recruited by Newcastle in the middle of this season considering that there are a number of good players who might be able to help them fight for survival in the Premier League next season. Some of the names I mean are Icardi and Rafinha, they seem suitable to be brought in.

I will agree about the two of the three teams that you mention, Norwich and Watford. It seems that they are the weakest among the rest teams and I doubt that will avoid relegation. As for the third, the battle will be tough, and frankly, just because Newcastle can spend money in the upcoming transfer window, doesn't mean that will skip it. Of course, bringing good players can make a big impact but they all be loaned and it seems hard for anyone to stay or be bought. Especially if Newcastle relegates since I really doubt that someone from the top self players will want to play in the Championship.

The 19th week games are getting close day by day. And one of the opening games is going to be Liverpool vs Leeds. This may not be a big game as Leeds have been in a way terrible shape these days. And this would probably end up with another big defeat for Leeds. Because Liverpool don't want to stay more behind Manchester City after drawing with Tottenham in their away game. I don't know if van Dijk and Fabinho will still be out then but Leeds are not like Tottenham now and they can't fight back against Liverpool too much in my opinion.

Leeds United have not been very lucky with fixtures lately. The fixtures are too tough for Leeds to get even a point.They played Chelsea away and lost, played Man City and got thrashed and recently played Arsenal, and still lost. Then this weekend, they will play Liverpool,what unjust is that ? Whoever arranged this fixtures for Leeds had himself to blame. When they gain promotion last season they were one of the best team with flare attacking display though conceded lots of goals drew with Liverpool,arsenal, mancity. They were a beauty to watch.Now everything seems to be falling apart for them starting from their poor defense to their Goalkeeper.

Leeds are just getting worse every week now. And one of the biggest reasons is their unfair fixture of course. They shouldn't have played against the biggest teams of the league consecutively. Especially the Manchester City loss by 7-0 just destroyed them completely. It is going to be really difficult for them to recover from this point. But it is not an impossible success to achieve also. There are still so many games waiting to be played. I hope that we see them managing to stay in the Premier League at the end of the season.

I admit Conte is a great coach, because since Tottenham made Conte the coach, Tottenham's game is much better. Even in the last 5 matches
in the Premier League, Conte managed to make Tottenham win 3 wins and 2 draws. It's a pretty good result, but it's too early to predict Tottenham
will win trophies with Conte, because Conte has to get Tottenham into the top 4 first, after that in the transfer market Conte needed to bring in
several new players to cover some of the shortcomings in the Tottenham squad. This means that to win a trophy still requires a fairly long process,
we still have to see Tottenham's development at least until the end of this season. After that we can predict whether next season there is a possibility
for Tottenham to win a trophy or not.

what unjustis that ? Whoever arranged this fixtures for Leeds had himself to blame.

Leeds are just getting worse every week now. And one of the biggest reasons is their unfair fixture of course.

You guys realize the fixtures are semi random and there is no vendetta against any club, so unjust or unfair does not really apply, it is a harsh set of fixtures at worst? Also, there is another perspective where if they are playing most of the big teams so close to the end of the end of the first half of the season, then it means they have avoided them so far this season, facing comparatively easier opponents.

Liverpool can't afford to drop another two points having drop 2 solids points against Tottenham, after playing a 2-2 draw, the three points difference between them and Man City can't be extended thus a win against Leeds Utd is a sure bet, Leeds has weak team for now, no thanks to injuries to their key players like Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford who could have pose a threat to Liverpool defence unfortunately are unavailable for the ties, Leeds Utd should up their game afterwards else they will battle relegation.

I am feeling very sad about Leeds, they are at one of the toughest schedules there is. They first played City, then they played Arsenal, and now they are going to play against Liverpool, to be honest there is a good chance any other team would lose all these three games as well and wouldn't be a shock. In any case Liverpool still has a very very easy game ahead, Spurs was a bit of a mishap but it is understandable, it is Spurs, even though they are not great, they are not terrible neither, I would say they are "decent" and that is good enough ranking for them, so having a tie against them is expected.

However, there is no way that Liverpool would ever get a tie against a team like Leeds, they will definitely win this one, even a 3.5+ goal difference looking like a snack bet, I am assuming it could definitely be possible if they are on their form.

Of course, I'm aware of it. Leeds are really unlucky at this point for sure. Maybe it is seen as unfair to people like me but they didn't do this on purpose in the end. And yeah, as they are going to leave their toughest games behind already, they are going to play against much more favorable teams for themselves. And it is up to Leeds to take advantage of the situation. If they don't, they will cause things to be even more difficult for them.

I don't know about the health issues of the Chelsea players, but they have been in poor form in the last few match. Injuries and other health effects may have confused a coach to choose the right substitute in a match, it may not be easy but the consequences are still unavoidable.

It is always difficult to break City's dominance when they lead the table, they are strong in every way this season where they have conceded only 9 goals in 18 games or the strongest of any Premier League team at the moment. Liverpool are expected to keep the points gap not too far and can take advantage of that when City slip in the match, that's possible in my opinion but the problem is Liverpool can't fail.

The game is going to be a sure win for Liverpool,because Leeds are not inform at the moment at all,and won't have the strength to be able to defeat Liverpool FC.
Liverpool are looking forward to closing the gap between them and Mancity,and will want to do everything possible to have equal points with them.
But I still see that Liverpool are not really good without their best defender Van Dijk,so therefore Leeds can pose a little threat on their defence

Liverpool can't afford to drop another two points having drop 2 solids points against Tottenham, after playing a 2-2 draw, the three points difference between them and Man City can't be extended thus a win against Leeds Utd is a sure bet, Leeds has weak team for now, no thanks to injuries to their key players like Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford who could have pose a threat to Liverpool defence unfortunately are unavailable for the ties, Leeds Utd should up their game afterwards else they will battle relegation.

Liverpool has all the power to achieve that,they should have an easy win against Leeds.I think it will be a fatal error for Liverpool if they do not manage to win against Leeds which is a team well known for conceding a lot of goals,it is one of the teams which has seen a lot of goals in the games they have played.Manchester City has somewhat a stronger opponent like Leicester but we should also remember that Premier League is full of surprises and in a day like 26 when 9 out of the 10 games of the week will be played I do strongly believe that we will see a couple of surprise results.

[CryptoBuds]

Although Manchester City have continued their winning streak, Liverpool and Chelsea have fallen behind. Both Chelsea and Liverpool have drawn their last match. To win the title now, one cannot think of an alternative to winning the upcoming matches. Because there is a lot of competition in the Premier League. The teams are very close with points. Chelsea are now 6 points behind Manchester City. Chelsea have lost 7 points in the last 5 matches. Thus the point gap is gradually increasing. And the road to winning the title for City is getting wider.

I honestly dont know why most people are so fixated to Conte. Tottenham has a very decent squad so all they need is a manager to make it works and they'll set to go. They literally have one of the best EPL striker so honestly, its pretty much easy for Conte.

On the other hand, no one seems to be focusing on Gerrard, Aston Villa is currently 10th right now. Aston Villa has a very decent squad and thats it, Gerrard came and literally take the club to another whole level. That is a lot more improvement then what Conte did to Tottenham obviously and it just seems so underrated atleast for me

Obviously, Tottenham were bad at the weekend, I never expected a draw from them, a goalless draw at that! Yeah, a lot of people might be a little soft hearted on Conte, looking at the fact that he's just joining the team but, he ought yo have done more because, his been in the EPL before. Tottenham have got a good squad and I think Conte should pay more attention to his players and figure them out.
Mean while, Steven Gerrard is doing such a wonderful job at Aston Villa. There draw with Liverpool proved they were out to ball.

While there's still a big chance of other top 4 teams other than city winning the title, I don't like the fact that city have been given the opportunity to stay on top of the table with full 3 points — if there's one thing about City, Its their ability to continue a winning streak as long they on the table. This makes it difficult for other teams. They did something similar in 2019 PL season when Liverpool was leading for majority 9f the season but lost top spot to city and city went on a winning streak till season ended.

Some teams are already complaining about the upcoming boxing day matches due to the virus.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/dec/21/liverpool-pep-lijnders-attacks-premier-league-schedule-continuation

The guy in the article made a good point that the league's management should base their decision from health professionals instead of the team but there's huge money involve here too.

I doubt the Premier league would stop or delay them unless the teams involve has severe cases of infection. You'll be lucky if your favorite team will play.

Premier league wont stop the matches. Too many matches so far were delayed and they dont even know where they are gone a put them. Plus boxing day is a big football day in england football. Always been exciting to watch and so many goald on that day in the past.

Yeah I read that and I remember even Klopp said something similar in the past.
Since there is money in, I doubt anything will change. Liverpool will play tomorrow vs Leicester in Quarter final of EFL Cup then Sunday vs Leeds then they will face Leicester again next Tuesday before facing Chelsea Sunday after. Basically 4 games in 12 days which is very frustrating considering the actual surge of the pandemic situation...

Exactly,and when Manchester city tops the premier league table,they hardly lose point to their rival.They might remain on the table till the season is over,they are very good at that.
I see Arsenal surprising everyone to remain in that top four spot.The team spirit is there,and they are ready to fight for that spot till the season is over.

You're right, we saw it in the 19-20 season. By the end of the season, Manchester City had impressed everyone with their outstanding performances. They scored 102 goals in the 19-20 season. However, they were 18 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. However, towards the end of the season, Manchester City's performance became more stable. Guardiola will definitely try to win the Champions League as well as the Premier League title. Liverpool and Chelsea will have to win the next 5-6 matches in a row if they want to compete for the title.
