Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Raflesia]

In fact, it's clear from the odds that City are more favored and we can't rule out that fact even though MU is in good form because they managed to win in the last 4 matches they did.
But that doesn't mean United don't have a chance to win. Their biggest chance is actually a draw because in my opinion a draw is also quite good for MU but indeed City will not let this end with an unsatisfactory result for them.

Manchester United and Manchester city are big rivals in the premier league and the both sides always have what it takes to beat each other. The Manchester derby is behind the corner, majority of the gamblers I know are betting infavor if manchester city and minor only bet for manchester united. I'm not satisfied with manchester united results so far as I strongly believe that the game might end up in a draw. Afterall the two coach, Pep Guardiola and Erik ten hag don't want to lose a game not when they are battling to close that gap arsenal are using to top the table.

Rivals. Actually, from Rival's words, it might be a little bit appropriate when it was said a few seasons ago when MU was still able to compete.
But actually for now and or for these 2 seasons, Rival's words are actually not very precise, even though they are the same as El Clasico in La Liga, their strength is still not comparable in my opinion.
Maybe there are some people who don't agree with this, especially considering the condition of Manchester United now, but in terms of the game, City is still far superior.

Erling Haaland have great potential in Manchester city and this is just the beginning of his limelight. Pep have one of the best squad in the premier league and they're heading to top the table only if they win the manchester derby. The premier league title is entertaining to watch and Haaland already have a solid foundation in the club. Just recently he joined the team, he has passed 10 goals before completing 7 games for city and also ranking first on the scorers leaderboard.

of course that's true, rather we mentioned the two teams will meet with different levels of power, different quality of players. Manchester United has become a city rival, not a rival title for this season because the performance of the two teams is quite different. but it's not wrong if we say this match is a big rival in the EPL because from the feel of the game it always runs quite hot between the two teams. In this match I think Manchester City will be able to beat Manchester United at home through the brilliant actions of Haaland and De Bruyne.

Against Tottenham will be a real test for Arsenal, in the last few weeks many have made Arsenal a title challenger club just because they are able to win 6 wins from 7 matches, but I think Arsenal are still far from being candidates for champions this season although they are now at the top, If we look at the 6 victories their got all from weak teams, but while facing a big team like Manchester United but their lost and I think Arsenal will get the second defeat against Tottenham later, so far Arsenal have always been inconsistent against big teams and that's why I really doubt that Arsenal will be a worthy challenger to City for the title this season.

I don't know if Arsenal will win the game or maybe Tottenham will win, but it's definitely a game that a lot of people will be waiting for because Arsenal and Tottenham will be competing for the top of the table so far. The difference of 1 point will greatly boost Tottenham's enthusiasm to beat Arsenal and take over the top spot, but Arsenal are not to be underestimated.

So far the two teams are not much different statistically either in terms of goals scored or number of goals conceded. So I think both teams are equally likely to win, but Arsenal will probably take advantage of this home match to win it. We will see later.

[Coyster]

I personally would be pleased if Arsenal could at least return some revenge on Tottenham, and I would prefer it if they did it shamefully with a score of 4-0, if that would be possible.

Lol, that sort of scoreline isn't possible, this is a North London Derby, and the two of them are currently in good form, so i'd expect the game to be very close, it would prolly be decided on fine margins.

The goals should come after halftime, but I'm not sure if Arsenal can wear down Tottenham players that much and keep them on edge, given that they have never previously defeated Tottenham, but perhaps this time they can.

What exactly do you mean by Arsenal haven't defeated Spurs previously, could that prolly be a typo/mistake or what, Arsenal have beaten Spurs more times than they have lost to them, the records are there for you to check.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur, statistics has shown that for the past 11( eleven ) years Arsenal are unbeaten in Emirates stadium after they lost 3:2 in November 2010. Tottenham Hotspur find it difficult to win Arsenal at Home, hence I'll give straight winning to Arsenal. Their current EPL leader and they have performed well this season.

I understand that Arsenal could be great right now and they have been great against Tottenham for a while now, but Tottenham is not doing that badly this year neither. So I suspect that there will be some sort of situation where we can see a real battle going on.

Arsenal of course is the favorites in this game, but it is not like they are playing against Watford or something, they are playing against Tottenham and they shouldn't go out with a mindset of "we are going to easily win this game" because if they do that then they will lose. So, it's better to be ready for anything and fight for the points even if you are the better team, just in case.

Manchester United will hope to replicate that tactics they used against Arsenal to face this Manchester city team. They believe that Manchester city will set up their normal high line while them, Manchester United will hit them on the counter. So they will be hoping that their players make some errors in the midfield so they can ponder on their mistakes to counter attacker them. That’s was the same tactics they used to win against Arsenal. I’m not sure it will work in this fixture. Because Manchester city is an experienced team and they study their opponents so they will try and avoid errors leading to goals.

I think if Manchester United repeat same tactics they played against Arsenal it will cause problems for Manchester City because City's defense isn’t solid and they have conceded quite a number of goals this season even in games they won. Manchester Uniited's quick transition style of play will cause problems for Manchester City who like to come all out and attack.

They really had nothing else to do. Playing openly against a team of City's caliber is clearly very difficult, so defending by looking for opportunities from fast counter-attacks is something that must be done.
Even though they have won in the last few matches, their differences in midfield and attack are quite striking so it is not a cowardly thing if Ten Hag plays safer in my opinion.

I see both teams scoring in that derby
Those players are just back from international duties
I see alot of goals flooding I'm especially with the meetings against other big side's
Arsenal has been quite better at home, they have had three plus goals at home do I expect to see them winning or three plus goals in the match

The intensity of the game will obviously be very high because indeed they are in prestige even though their strengths are still different and too far away in my opinion, but as you say at this time the rivals are only from their big names a few years ago not in terms of performance and competition because they are in it is still quite difficult actually for Manchester United to be at the same level as City.

Actually, Manchester United is at the same level as Manchester City if from inside they have no problems and can work as a team well, but in reality Manchester United is constrained by serious problems inside and ultimately makes them unable to work as a team, only the influence of a few people. which makes Manchester United can not be solid. Hopefully Manchester United will soon solve the problem and replace him with a better player who can be managed well.

You cant be serious to compare City with Arsenal. Although that I want Manchester United to win, honestly it will be whole lot difference compared to when they were playing against either Arsenal or Liverpool.

because City's defense isn’t solid

Im not sure where you are getting your statistics from but City has only 6 goals conceded so far and aside from that, they are the only team that has scored over 20 goals so far in this season so that pretty much tells you that City is on a whole another level compared to the other teams

As long as ten haad didn't pick meguire and another bad player that makes MU have more chance to lose and im still believing with MU. Ten haag know what he must be doing with the team when it will be facing city very soon. The fact that if this time MU is a big different compared when meguire was still become a captain for the team. Im sure that if ten haag will not give meguire a chance to play. If he plays and im sure MU will be lose.

[kawetsriyanto]

Thomas Partey and Zinchenko have been instrumental to how Arsenal set up. This same injury worries have affected them in some seasons ago when they were at the top too. It’s unfortunate that they don’t learn from their mistakes. They refused to get a replacement incase some thing like this happens.

The injury of Thomas Partey and Zinchenko surely give an impact on their game, but Arsenal has Granit Xhaka and Kieran Tierney as the substitute players. Even Granit Xhaka and Kieran Tierney can't perform as well as Partey and Zinchenko so far, but their quality is not too bad. In theory, they should replace the roles of Partey and Zinchenko. No, you can't blame Arsenal that they don't get a replacement for their main players. In reality, they have enough players as the substitution although they seem not really convincing enough as many of them are young players.

[nurilham]

Arsenal of course is the favorites in this game, but it is not like they are playing against Watford or something, they are playing against Tottenham and they shouldn't go out with a mindset of "we are going to easily win this game" because if they do that then they will lose. So, it's better to be ready for anything and fight for the points even if you are the better team, just in case.

Agree, Arsenal may be still the favorite in the next match to win. But we must be also aware that the opponent is Tottenham in which this club is also now rising up, very consistent and also struggling to be always in the top positions. If Arsenal cannot play very well and played like what against Man United, we cannot guarantee that they may win fromTottenham.
But indeed, this is still difficult to determine which club will win. Both are now on fire, both have their special reasons to win. Nothing will be easy in the match between the two. Only the club that can be consistent, more effective in utilizing the chance anda lso accurate enough that will probably win. ANd this, still don't know whihc one will be.

It would be funny if there were statistics like this.
They are even though one of the clubs that still has the lowest ratio of goals conceded compared to other clubs.
It would make sense to say that the defense was not solid based on the number of goals they conceded, but at the moment they are far from solid because they are currently quite good and their performance in defense, midfield and attack is balanced in a good direction.

Even though Manchester United started the Premier League with a joke, but in the last four matches they have proven that they are worthy of being competitors to win the Premier League by defeating champion candidates like Arsenal and Liverpool, and now I think it's Manchester City's turn to feel the ferocity of Manchester United which is held by Erik Ten Hag.

[reagansimms]

This time Manchester United's status as a guest team, is different when Manchester United beat Arsenal because at that time they were playing at Old Trafford. Manchester City will not let Manchester United dominate the game too much, Pep Guardiola really understands what to do when facing a team like Manchester United. Manchester City's only target is to win the Derby in order to keep the chances of moving up to the top of the table.

People are still underestimating MU in this case. I saw some people were being skeptical with MU although it has been winning 4 games in a row. That proves that even when a club feel struggling to finds its best performance but remember that the big club is always become a big club.
MU has so many great players but it seems like there are some cases where the internal problems affecting the performance from the club.
I think that MU needs to sell useless player like meguire which already bought with non sense rate. Meguire is a useless player and it was making the club to face lose against opponent.

I don't think, Manchester united can defeat Manchester city in this premier league competition, because the strategies Manchester united are using in this season will not give them access to defeat mighty Manchester city in this season. Despite, Manchester united defeated Arsenal in their last match doesn't mean they will defeat Manchester city, because Manchester city defense is more stronger than any other teams defense in this season, which is part of the advantage they are using to achieve victory from any team in this season to remain the top.
