Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

I think Manchester City played well yesterday night and deserved the win.However Manchester United I think is more focused on the Premier League rather than the Efl cup and that is probably the reason why they lost yesterday evening.Mancheste City is coming again on the rise and should win easily against Brighton this upcoming week.

In the EFL Cup final, mancity will face Tottenham, this is a tough opponent, but mancity should be able to win if he can control ball control in his game.
Focus more on efl to win because EPL has a long way to go..

Right now we know how city are bad against counter attacking and Spurs are very good on that. Controlling ball is one thing but that doesn't gives you the win. City have 4 months to prepare and that is enough to  tighten up defense and fix the holes they have. Guardiola has lot of time to prepare his squad but so does Spurs. It will be good finale to watch.

He might be talented, but maybe not that special at the moment.
This is his stats on the premier league. Despite his minute's play, this stats is not that impressive.
https://www.premierleague.com/players/11031/Donny-van-de-Beek/stats
I haven't seen him significantly become a core of the united play. it will be difficult for him to get more attention from Ole.

If you're talking about van de Beek's stats for Man Utd since his arrival, you might want to consider his limited playing time. He doesn't get to start games and he doesn't even come in as a substitute in most games and when he eventually comes on, the game is usually far gone. This is similar to Cavani's situation  before Ole decided to start giving him more opportunities. Ighalo is also facing a similar problem in Man Utd at the moment. I mean, why sign these players when you won't give them an opportunity to prove their worth?

This problem is recurrent and generalised in different teams and in different leagues, like Ozil in Arsenal, Bale in Real Madrid, Eriksen in Inter, Dybala in Juve and the list is long... It depends mainly in the relationship (professional or not) between staff/managers and the player, once it becomes bad it is over and the poor guy has to start from somewhere else

Yes, I'm fully aware of all of them. I was just trying to prove a point that judging VDB performances and stats using other the few times he has made an appearance for Man Utd isn't justifiable. If he was given several opportunities to prove himself and he messed up all the opportunities, then that's a different case entirely.

Aside from personal or professional issues a player might have with the coach or other management staffs of the club, The most common reason why players usually find a way out of a club is when they don't get enough playing time. You won't achieve so much for being on the sidelines.

Tottenham are going to play an away game against Aston Villa next week. Tottenham are 4th with 29 points and Aston Villa are the 8th with 26 points. Aston Villa had a better performance comparing to Tottenham on the last 5 matches in the league. I would like to indicate something that Aston Villa demolished Liverpool here 7-2. I think they will play really good against Tottenham too. I love watching Son-Kane duo. Tottenham have 29 goals in the league and 22 of them belongs to this duo which is insane. I expect a really tough match and we could watch at least 3 goals in this match.

I hope Tottenham will win this match. Tottenham have won their previous match. Although they have been out of form in some matches, I think they are back in form now. And the biggest thing is that Tottenham has not lost in any of the five matches they have played against Aston Villa. And won 5 matches. I hope Tottenham win the next match

Yes, Tottenham have a very big psychological dominance against Aston Villa. But when I looked at their last head-to-head matches, I saw that Aston Villa were very bad in the league. Things are different now and this match is open for suprises.

Tottenham is very strong right now as Kane and Son doing very good job for their team and they are strong contender for top spot right now but they need to carry on with this form if they have no injury or any other serious issue then surely they can shock any big team in coming matches against Aston Villa they can win.

If we look at the head to head match between Aston Villa and Tottenham, it is very clear that Tottenham is superior, because Aston Villa has only
beaten Tottenham once. Therefore, the Aston Villa vs Tottenham match is indeed the possibility that Tottenham will win the match. But we must not
forget that Aston Villa this season is very different, this season Aston Villa managed to beat several strong teams. This makes the game very interesting
to look forward to, especially since Tottenham's last 5 games in the Premier League have not been so good, only managed to win once. This makes
the match difficult to predict.

Its a home game for Aston Villa and the last time Aston Villa play a home game against one of these top teams, it was a memorable 7-2 score for Liverpool. Aston Villa is the dark horse this season, I wouldnt be surprised with the results

However recent news shows that there is a possibility that tomorrow the game between Aston Villa vs Liverpool on FA Cup might be cancelled due to covid. This could somehow affect their performance against Tottenham on EPL ( or probably the match would be cancelled as well )

I've seen some news that Aston Villa is not taking it as priority and are thus resting out their whole 1st team squad since it's an EFL fixture and don't want to take risks with covid out there. They are likely to test their U23 squad and roll out for their match against Liverpool. I think same would be for Liverpool as they have also match against United and they also wouldn't want to take risks.

After a defeat against the Manchester City, Manchester United has an internal problem. A drama with Van De Beek who want to leave the club. I feel sympathy with him as he was put on the bench for so long. He is bearing enough ignorance from Solskajer and his disappointment, angry is understandable as he joined the club with lots of hope, promises to have an official position and maybe play as one of core player for Man Utd.

I don't understand what happened with Donny Van De Beek.

Van de Beek urged to push for Man Utd transfer as De Boer sounds Euros warning

He’s a really talented guy, I don’t know why Ole is preferring McTominay or whatever his name is, to VDB. If VDB is to leave then I don’t blame him, he is too good to be an unused sub. The guy was a star for Ajax in the CL, he deserves more of a chance.

Leaving VDB on the bench is not justifiable at all for such a young promising star that cost them $35M,  Man Utd should loan him back to Ajax probably when his services is needed he should be recall
Its a pity that playing with a star studded club like Man Utd  can be very competitive for new youngstars who will need to prove their mettle else they will be benched, Ole should have play this guy in EFL matches to prove himself.

Yeah I think the boy is good and should be given a chance.  But remember we're playing against Manchester City not Newcastle or Rangers.  We need to make our beat players available.  Everyone's time will come when it's right. Remember matic was one a regular starter when mc was also sitting

That is the case now with many teams from Premier League regarding Epl cup.I think though teams like Burnley,Wba and Fulham might go all out and have this as a major objective because the Premier League has gone wrong for them this year up until now.

Aston Villa can confirm that the #EmiratesFACup  Third Round tie with Liverpool will be played at Villa Park this evening (7.45pm KO). 🟣

Looks like they will have to play a bunch of kids from the U23 squad or something.

FA cup or other Cup games are usually like this. Managers usually give chances to young team or players who don't get enough chances. Its good way to hand out chances to show some potential and get a chance in first team.  With the pandemic situation , it was sure that they won't be risking any first team players.

Would be a bit boring to watch, maybe switch to other league for this week.

This match is going on with Under 23 squad but sadly we have another match postponed and its Southampton vs Shrewsbury Town here also some good number of Covid-19 cases look like its bad time for soccer players and supporters if these cases not stopped then this all can stopped like last season.

[Globb0]

It feels like its closing in again.

The yesterday number was 1 in 50 have covid in the general population.

London has 1 in 30, we just had xmas family get togethers so a spike can be about here.

I expect the prem to be interrupted again, unless they get some vaccines, I think they can buy their way out of trouble that way.

Arsenal are going to play a home game against Crystal Palace next week. Arsenal are the 11th with 23 points and C. Palace are the 14th with 22 points. After having a too bad period, Arsenal started playing better finally. They won their last 3 league matches by scoring 8 goals and conceding only 1 goal. They should play really confidently from now on. But it doesn't mean that they will always be better until the end of the season. So, Arteta must still be worried about the general performance of the team. C. Palace started to barely recover on the last 2 league matches. Arsenal are better lately and I think they will beat C. Palace too.

Aston villa vs liverpool will be kicking off right about now. The odds is on Liverpool's side as it should be but it's ridiculously small and an insult to Aston villa from where I stand. I still see it as a match where liverpool isn't going to have it there way very easily. Cups are always an important match for mid tier teams in the EPL because, the EPL title is always out of reach and as such, the cups always is a better compensation coupled with the fact that, most managers rest the best players over matches such as these so, I hope to see Aston villa do well tonight.

The odds are understable if we are being frank and honest lol; Liverpool are playing against u-18 kids of the aston villa side; i wonder why Klopp played so many first teamers despite knowing in advance they will be playing with kids lol.

Liverpool are 1 goal up against Aston Villa u18 side in the 18th minute.

Didn't pay attention to FA Cup Friday matches but seeing Liverpool squad in the field and Villa's ones, I feel it like Klopp trying to compensate its latest defeat vs Southampton with a training mode match vs kudos
The other game, Wolves won vs Crystal Palace with 1-0.
