Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Falconer]

Before the takeover, I didn't really mind who got relegated. But now I hope that Newcastle go down. I know that football is all about money, but it's just not fair on the other relegation strugglers if one team can simply buy themselves out of trouble. And I do think it will be tough anyway for all those new players at Newcastle to integrate and start the club on a winning path. They do still have a decent chance of going down, despite all the money flying about.

Newcastle United certainly will not let that happen this season because they also have the chance to stay in the Premier League next season. Newcastle will face Everton for the next match where victory is the target they must achieve. Norwich vs Crystal Palace will also determine Newcastle's chances of getting out of the relegation zone, so they will fight as much as possible to avoid relegation this season.

We are talking about a team that still has 17 unfinished match to finish the season (Newcastle). We can expect some changes in the table about who will stay, who will be relegated and who will qualify for the Champions League, Europa League and win the Premier League. So everything is still possible at this time.

Seeing the news of Greenwood's release even though on bail, it can still be interpreted that there is still a suspicion of innocence to him.  On the other hand the condition of the team is not doing well with the mistakes he made, the sponsors of Man United condemned his actions.  And although even being released on bail would be difficult for United to keep him, the terms of his contract could be suspended forever.

For the kind of case that Greenwood has been accused of doing, in the court this will have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt if he wants to walk as a free man and its unfortunate that his been implicated in such a serious offence which has cost him his place at Manchester United. But whatever the case am hoping he pulls through by being innocent because this could end ones career.

Currently Greenword career is on the verge of collapse, although now he is free on bail, but the police investigation into the case will continue to find out the truth, currently Manchester has also suspended Greenwood from the squad and banned him from being involved in any Manchester matches or training until the case finished later.
If we look at all the sound and video evidence circulating right now, of course if Greenwood did do this to his girlfriend, I think that would not only end his football, but he's likely to get a long prison sentence.

It is really unfortunate for Manchester United that Mason Greenwood has been accused of raping recently. This must be a big shock for the team and his loved ones. He has a good potential in football but this incident might even end his football career for good most probably if he is found guilty. The same thing happened to former Manchester City player Benjamin Mendy too. He was also accused of raping many times. And it looks like he wouldn't be able to play for his team anymore too. By the way, if these players really did this, then I hope that they get the biggest punishment they can for it.

[Altryist]

So true. EPL is indeed the best place to invest, I don't want to criticize other leagues, but if we want to see business opportunities, the EPL is a pretty good place. we can take a comparison with other leagues for example, such as the Bundesliga. investors cannot act freely there because indeed the rules in the league still apply that 51% of club ownership still belongs to CMIIW supporters. In contrast to the English league, it can be said that the largest shareholder will rule. and for newcastle itself I think it's still very reasonable that they have to spend money for now.
Look at City a few years ago before Sheikh Mansour bought it. they also need several seasons to become as strong as they are now

This may be true if the club owners are willing to put in as much money as need for the good result. Good examples are Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG, but if the club is bought just for the sake of interest, as happened with Manchester United, then the result will be another. In the case of Manchester United, one gets the impression that they always want to save money.

Attitude and respect is most every thing in football and now Mason Greenwood have to face what have did, I think good decision taken by Manchester United without give any help law for Mason Greenwood and not really care what the future from this player. I think his career will ended soon without any agreement with the victim want to make cases close, but I think less chance for him can play football again for five or six years later because what he did will be punishment more than six years.

This case is outside the context of the match but the impact will be very bad for the reputation of Man United, which is now not supported by the accusations of problems at the end of the match by their players. It was already in everyone's eyes that this kind of case kept coming to the fore. I hope it won't change anything in their squad without Mason Greenwood.

Yeah. I suppose the difference at the bottom of the table is that no-one is scoring many points down there, so maybe 2 or 3 wins is all you need to lift you out of the drop zone. The only question for Newcastle is how quickly their new players all gel together as a team, and whether they can counter the negative mentality that comes from being a losing team, and change that into some confidence.

[Distraction]

The transfer window is ending and Newcastle still haven't made a big transfer. Maybe Bruno Guimarães can be considered as a good transfer but the general look is not good. They have spent a lot of money for average players so far. I can't say that they have strengthened their squad a lot now. But I still hope that they can get better and stay in the Premier League by the end of the season at least. Even this would be an important achievement for them. Because if they make it, then they would be able to start the next season with a much greater lineup I believe. They would build a brand new and very powerful lineup to play for the top places in the standings.

Newcastle is in awkward situation, they have first to escape relegation at any cost then to build a better team. Top players will not risk joining a team threatened by relegation. Imagine seeing CR7 or Messi or Haaland in Newcastle right now? It won't happen.

if Arsenal win, they will shift Westham and Manchester United and move up to 4th place. They need a win to continue to compete for tickets to the Champions League next season.
Wolves FC are also definitely aiming for victory, especially when they play in front of their own supporters. If they win, they can even shift Arsenal in the standings.

The game will be played on 10th, so everyone will get back on their squad and maybe even have a practice until the game. That is the type of situation where players are rested enough and they could be doing well enough.

However this is not the "extra" game that they have, so United could beat Burnley which is something I expect them to do very easily and Arsenal could beat Wolves as well who is now missing Traore as well, so I do not think that Arsenal would be going any higher. Not because they won't win, they will win, but United will win as well and that is why the difference will stay the same. The only chance Arsenal has is to beat the missing game (was it Chelsea?) and then they could end up going above United.

Arsenal have only the Premier League left now. They have been eliminated from the EFL Cup and FA Cup so far. And their goal must be qualifying for the Champions League. They are strong enough to make it actually but they have really tough rivals aiming the same thing now. Hence, they will have to focus on playing more effective than them to achieve their goal. Arsenal are having a much greater season than the previous one now. They should be able to benefit from it somehow or it would really be a big disappointment for them after bringing the things here by fighting hard.

So far, its just a single slot left and that is, the 4th place and Arsenal is more than capable to take over that slot. They've been more impressive compared with the 3 other teams in the likes of Manchester United that now occupies the spot, West Ham United and Tottenham. Its not going to be an easy game at all as all four teams knows the value of this spot and with Arsenal now solely focused on the EPL haven't been eliminated from other leagues, they should do even more better.
With there Chelsea fixture being postponed, they should have better luck with Brentford to better position themselves on the league. Hopefully, they won't overrated themselves and be surprised by Brentford.

The greenwood controversy is really painful, I can imagine what the young lad is going through right now. The most painful part about this whole story is the instant condemnation and actions he got from both the club and some players, I heard CR7 unfollowed him as well, I have been on the internet about this and I haven’t heard about a single word of encouragement from anyone. He is a young man and can make terrible mistakes, although he might be guilty which is yet to be confirmed, I think he needs some sort of support and life line, depression is real.

Maybe not, I think Tottenham are much more deserving of that place than Arsenal. You cannot expect Arsenal to secure 4th place this season when other teams like Tottenham, Manchester United, West Ham and Wolves still have chances to win more match. It's true that Arsenal are now better, but they haven't been able to win many match against top teams.

We know the Premier League is not finished because there are still many match that have not been played, this will provide an opportunity for several teams to secure 1 Champions League ticket next season including Arsenal.

New players brought in must make a good contribution to the team so that Newcastle can get out of the relegation zone. Newcastle  status changed 180 degrees after being acquired by the prince of Saudi Arabia, the status of a rich team was attached to Newcastle. It is very difficult to imagine that Newcastle will not be able to get out of the relegation zone, because they have to play in the 2nd tier (Championsip) of the Premier League next season. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

Mason Greewood was released on bail I don't know what the guarantee is but for sure the police will continue to follow up on this case, and this young man is unfortunate because of his actions after the violence that was committed, even Manchester United and other sponsors have suspended Mason Greenwood until such time which has not been determined, which means that a lot of criticism has occurred, including his teammates who became fed up and stopped following him.

Arsenal has one off worst start in this season and no one were having any thought about this but suddenly Arteta settle things against all odds and bring team on this position which is amazing but suddenly now they are having issues again as now Auba is no more here, and they already sell some other players as well with having no good back up for their strength which is unusual from management with this all now we have just one spot left for next year's Champions League and now Tottenham, Manchester United and West Ham all doing very good mean Arsenal have very few chances for Champions League but if they handle in positive way then surely they can go through into UEFA Europa Cup and then for next season they will have some better things and time for better end of their spot and better way for staying into top rank in this English Premier League.

I'm curious about what Arsenal will do after sending Aubameyang. I guess that they are not planning to fill his place with another centre-forward for now. But if I were in their place, I would have signed a striker before the end of the transfer window. Because they have only Lacazette and Nketiah as strikers right now. And Lacazette is having a terrible season. He scored only three goals in sixteen games. This is a big problem for the team and their not taking an action about this can cause them to be in a problematic condition on the remaining weeks of the league.

Mikel Arteta and Edu are clueless, just want to get rid of this guy without getting anything, no signing of replacement.
I'm looking at all the players Arsenal let go this window, how are they supposed to compete? They've got like 7 total defenders. Expecting them to drop off heavily from where they are. The previous months have ultimately proven there is a clear reliance on Saka and fellow academy product Emile Smith Rowe to produce the goods going forward. Because in the centre-forward role, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah have not been scoring enough despite plenty of minutes on the pitch. With both forwards less than six months away from their respective contracts expiring. It is a very big risk fighting the top 4 spot without a new striker.

I definitely agree with you on this. Arsenal can't put up a solid fight for the fourth position in the league standings by not adding a new striker to the team. They just can't make do with the two players I mentioned above. Nketiah is not an impressive player. And Lacazette is far away from his old times now. He wouldn't do much good in the rest of the season. If Arsenal signed a good striker now, then I would have favoured them to make it to the fourth position maybe. But it seems really difficult to think so now. Manchester United are more likely than them for example.

I must say, I feel for him too. No one can understand better except those that must have been in his shoes and in times like this, it's not always easy for public figures. Greenwood did some detasteful thing but then, is a mistake humans make. He's best form of comfort now could be putting out something he could pin this whole thing on. Some real support for him would be nice too but, it was really worth of him to have taken that turn at his girlfriend but it's not enough to make him look like trash. He still entertained most of us on the pitch and we could help get his mental health and strength back during and when this is all over.

Liverpool are going to play home against Leicester on the coming week. And this is a candidate to be a competitive game. Liverpool couldn't beat Leicester comfortably yet even though they came across two times this season until now. Maybe I'll be wrong and Liverpool will literally destroy Leicester this time in Anfield. But I think that they will win by 2-1 or 3-2. I'm backing this opinion especially if Salah and Mane don't play in this one. Because there is a possibility for this. Senegal have reached the final in the AFCON now and Egypt might be their opponent if they manage to beat Cameroon tomorrow.
