Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Raflesia]

Yes, Manchester City are very lucky in this match. They were awarded a penalty in stoppage time due to the carelessness of Antonee Robinson who violated De Bruyne in the restricted area. Haaland, who was shown to be the executor, was able to carry out his duties well. This additional three important points brought The Citizens to the top of the standings.

I really admire the struggle of the players and Guardiola's tactics in this match after Joao Cancelo's red card. Kevin De Bruyne and his friends really showed the mentality of being a true champion, they were able to fight and launch a barrage of attacks into the heart of Fulham's defense, although Fulham were also very good at anticipating it. And the entry of Haaland is also very influential and a differentiator, he shows his class as a world-class predator and is able to tear apart Fulham's defense.

After the red card, Manchester City could have a big problem, because Fulham can play well in defense. But they lacked only a few minutes to earn a point in this match, Haaland scored this winning penalty. Haaland had also scored before that, but the goal was overruled by VAR due to offside. After the final whistle, Cancelu was able to breathe a sigh of relief. 

They were really very good defensively and I have to admit that, apart from the red card in this game Manchester City as expected dominated the game although were a bit distracted by their lack of players due to Cancelo leaving.
On the other hand Fulham really defended in this match but indeed the player advantage made them look a little stronger even though in the last minute there was a foul which was very unfortunate and actually this was not really needed.
Manchester City are back on top for a while as Arsenal will play tomorrow.

Leeds 4:3 Bournemouth FT...

I didn't understand how this match went, I was actually watching Manchester City match and following theirs with livescores. Leeds was able to score an early goal before 5mins. They were paused there by Bournemouth and Bournemouth scored 3 goals, making it 1:3.
I was surprised to notice the match was later won by Leeds at 4:1 and I checked there was no red card. Watdahfck happened?

It was a 7 goal drama shown by both teams. I looked at their match stats and it was goals scored by Leeds and Bournemouth. Leeds managed to win in the last 2 matches, but for Bournemouth it exacerbated their winless streak in their last 5 matches and also made them the team that conceded the most goals until week 13. I don't understand how their defense works to create so many goals like that.

After the red card, Manchester City could have a big problem, because Fulham can play well in defense. But they lacked only a few minutes to earn a point in this match, Haaland scored this winning penalty. Haaland had also scored before that, but the goal was overruled by VAR due to offside. After the final whistle, Cancelu was able to breathe a sigh of relief. 

The game was very interesting, and as I said earlier, it would not be an easy three points for Manchester City, as we saw. Manchester City were very fortunate to have a last-minute penalty or they would have ended up sharing points at home against Fulham; the red card received by Manchester City has contributed to theeir performance even though they still took control of the entire game, they lack full confidence of getting the three points, but in the end they now lead Arsenal by one point. Let's see how Arsenal's match tomorrow goes because the outcome will determine whether Arsenal can still challenge for the title.

If a team wants to become a champion, it has to win such matches. City showed us once again today that it is the biggest contender for the championship. There might not have been a penalty and they could have ended the game with a loss of points, but the game was over and 3 points were added to the table. Sometimes the championship can even come with 1 point. That's why this game is so important. The leaders right now, let's see if Arsenal can take back their place. I can't blame Fulham for not winning the match against Manchester City. Even if there are 10 left, they still have a huge level advantage.

[trendcoin]

Manchester City took an important win today because they got a red card almost at the start of the match. They played 64 minutes with ten football player today. Achieving this is not an easy thing. So no matter what, I think Manchester City did a great job today... Also, Haaland scored his 23rd goal this season for Manchester City (Premier League + Champions League). Taking responsibility in the last minute of the match is a good thing for a striker like him. He is very young but very brave and tough as steel...

[Velvet78]

Manchester City had a really problematic day indeed but they still managed to get the win by 2-1. Cancelo's getting that red card has made things more difficult for the team. Technically Manchester City were still much stronger than their opponent and I thought that they would get the win comfortably anyway.

But the winning goal came really late. Thanks to Haaland's penalty goal in the last moments, they won the game. It was really great to see Haaland scoring a goal right after recovering from his injury. If it weren't for him maybe this game could have ended in a draw.

[Zaguru12]

Man City were very lucky to get out with all point. Fulham deserved even a point In the game. They had City on there toes after Cancelo Red card. Now city are with out any senior full back. Fulham didn't only lose the game but will be without both Reid and Tete for there next game due to suspension as both picked there fifth consecutive yellow cards of the season. Fulham played well but they weren't creating chances just 3-4 attempts in the whole game was bad for them. I was thinking they would be a little bit proactive when City was 1 man down. As for City I feel they really had hard win today surprisingly not what everyone thought would happen but they actually fight over to take all three points thats how Champions response in games like this. The win today makes it 15 wins in  a row at Home, its now becoming a fortress for them.

[Odusko]

League is getting a bit more entertaining that part is definitely true. Even though City built a great team, when you look at the league and the rankings you see that everyone is a bit more closer this year compared to last, or at least looks like that.

Previous years we would see City and LFC just going up, and everyone else was just fighting for third, and not many neither, it would be just 2 teams or max 3 teams, rest would be boring. Look at it now, this year it looks like I am not guaranteeing United not being champions, sure they won't be but that is not 100% guaranteed. That type of season is always more entertaining, even if City ends up being champions again, they would be getting it harder this year.

Manchester City is one of the clubs that prepared ahead of this season and if you have been following events in football competitions since last season you will know how man city has maintained a consistent improvement in performance.
So I am not surprised at their present performance as Manchester City is leading strongly behind Arsenal in the premier league this season, and also if you check Manchester city's performance in the championship you will see how the club's performance has been since last season.
One thing Manchester City did well pre-season was building a strong team.

Pep Guardiola's decision to include Haaland in the second half was the right decision, for some reason I didn't like it when Julian Alvarez played as a striker. He was good out and was replaced by Haaland. Currently the score in this match is still 1 - 1, a goal scored by Haaland in the 74th minute was ruled out by the referee after seeing VAR. Looks like we will really see a draw in this match.

If Manchester City get a draw, this is a very good sign for the Chelsea Vs Arsenal match, as Arsenal will be playing very seriously to get 3 points off Chelsea to go higher in the EPL standings.

City did it, in the last minute. Haaland is once again the man of the match. They win with 10 man and Haaland with record: scored goal in 6 home games in a row, no matter it was a penalty. So City are now back on 1st place in the league. Chelsea play vs Arsenal tomorrow, so 1st place can stay for City.

I'm at a loss for words seeing Haaland performance and quality in that match. he is like an alien because he came on as a substitute but he managed to be man of the match in the match against fulham. Even if Haaland wasn't caught offside he managed to contribute two goals in this match. Manchester City appeared quite impressive in this match where they were able to dominate all lines quite well. but fulham can provide good fighting power in this match because they were able to withstand the onslaught of attacks from manchester city players but at the last minute haaland was able to score a goal for manchester city victory. The achievement of 3 points in this match made Manchester City back to the top of the standings.

Manchester City had a really problematic day indeed but they still managed to get the win by 2-1. Cancelo's getting that red card has made things more difficult for the team. Technically Manchester City were still much stronger than their opponent and I thought that they would get the win comfortably anyway.

I don't think they were any string after the Cancelo red card. They played a much frightened football and you could see Fulham being very offensive. Ake's wing was constantly under pressure although, you could sense that Manchester City could win but not easily as we would have hoped. Its a good thing Pep made some early changes in brining in Erling Haaland and Foden. They both came on, gave the team the boost they needed to exert some more pressure on the Fulham team and we had them being more on the defensive side than attack. KDB was realy wise to have created that penalty opportunity and Erling Haaland took the headline from there on.

[BIT-BENDER]

Halaand has score 18 goals in this short period in the English premier league and her has even matched Cristiano Ronaldo English premier league goal tally last season and Cristiano Ronaldo was Manchester United highest scorer.

Definitely Erling Halaand is different but I don't know if I am the only one noticing Manchester city are dropping form. Typical Manchester city would have put this game against Fulham to bed early.

Manchester City were very fortunate to have a last-minute penalty or they would have ended up sharing points at home against Fulham; the red card received by Manchester City has contributed to theeir performance even though they still took control of the entire game, they lack full confidence of getting the three points, but in the end they now lead Arsenal by one point. Let's see how Arsenal's match tomorrow goes because the outcome will determine whether Arsenal can still challenge for the title.

Fulham had a chance when Cancelo was red carded and they scored a goal. For most part of the match they had some good attacks and gave City a good scare. Ultimately Robinson made a mistake who seemed sloppy in the ending minutes and that costed them in the end. Still they fought well today as another goal would have made things very difficult for City.

It's now important for Arsenal to win yesterday's game and given how they are playing, I hope they really play out their best in tomorrow's game.

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester City have managed to come out victorious in the game today, all thanks to Haaland's late goal in the 95th minute to secure the win for city. It was a really tough game for Manchester City, Fulham played very well and were impressive defensively through out the game it is disappointing that in the end they lost all three points to City. Manchester City now move a point ahead of Arsenal in the table.

[Marykeller]

The win today makes it 15 wins in  a row at Home, its now becoming a fortress for them.

Fulham was given the opportunity to win and if you can't win just draw but they went ahead and lost. This kind of opportunity wouldn't have passed to a well-organized team. A very organized team would have won against Manchester City comfortably with a red card.

Manchester City is seriously grinding out a victory despite all odds in the premier league. That's the character of a true champion. That's what Manchester City shows in today's match against Fulham.

[Pokapoka124]

Both Leicester City and  Everton have been impressive in their recent games and it looks like they are finally getting the balance they have been lacking at the beginning of the season, it is clear that both teams will get back to form and move up the table in no time. Today will be a test for both teams to evaluate their performance level yet gain and this time it will be very competitive and interesting. Leicester are a goal up already, a goal from Tielemans puts them in front in the game and hopefully they might be able to hold on to the win after Full time.

Technically Manchester City were still much stronger than their opponent and I thought that they would get the win comfortably anyway.

But the winning goal came really late. Thanks to Haaland's penalty goal in the last moments, they won the game. It was really great to see Haaland scoring a goal right after recovering from his injury. If it weren't for him maybe this game could have ended in a draw.

The inclusion of Haaland and Foden to replace Grealish and Alvarez actually made Manchester City's game as expected. It didn't take long for Haaland to score, but unfortunately his position at that time was caught offside. But in the end Haaland really changed the mood the stadium rumbled after he scored the penalty, it was an entertaining match.

Manchester City managed to snatch the top of the table today from Arsenal, and of course they really deserve to be happy. But I don't think they will stay in this position for much longer if Arsenal beat Chelsea tomorrow.

It was a really tough game for Manchester City, Fulham played very well and were impressive defensively through out the game it is disappointing that in the end they lost all three points to City.

Man City was able to recover after Cancelo's red card in the first half of course it would be tough for Mancity to lose his left defender while Fulham was in good form which made it more difficult for Mancity to score and in end it was surprised at the end with a penalty goal what Haaland did.
Mancity's game still controlled him but Fulham felt defended well that's the fact Mancity was able to find a gap so this became a tense victory.

The two teams are playing well and the match seem balanced. The difference between the two teams is the wonderful goal by Tielemans which might be the goal of the week.
Everton is playing very nice and pressing high, Iwobi is being so wonderful but Everton striker seem not ready to score.

Leicester City are playing much better than Everton. Hope they win this match. Leicester City are looking more ball controllers, which is why they lead 1-0. But Everton will not give up, they will also want to repay the goal. But I believe Leicester City will win this match.

[Vinaa77]

Halaand has score 18 goals in this short period in the English premier league and her has even matched Cristiano Ronaldo English premier league goal tally last season and Cristiano Ronaldo was Manchester United highest scorer.

Yes. Haaland is currently the best player for the English league. He was present as a decisive victory against Fulham. The penalty goal made Mancherter City get 3 full points. The interesting thing is Mancherter City played with 10 points from 26 minutes after Cancelo got a red card, and ended up getting a win.

Although in head to head, Fulham have never beaten Mancherter City, but with 10 players they can also get a win, I think that's something extraordinary. Even though it was an opportunity for Fulham to beat Manchester City or make new history after a long time without winning.
