Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bitgolden]

I understand the hype around United right now, but I just cannot understand how fans forget how good United already is so quickly. Like they literally finished the league seconds in 2020-21 season, and for just ONE season they finished 6th and suddenly acted as if United was the worst team in the world.

First of all, it is 6th, nothing major to be upset about, I get that you are used to seeing United at top places but 6th is not bad. Secondly, it’s getting better I agree but not as good as being second, which means you are far away from what you were just 1.5 years ago, how quickly did you fall from grace and suddenly have hope again, just calm down, it’s not a big deal.

Actually this has become an open secret and many of the fans do not like the current management of Manchester United especially for their current owners.
Fans think that the Glazer Family are just making as much profit as possible without wanting to seriously fix the team's problems and even a few months ago there were rumors that they were going to let Manchester United go but this news has gone quiet.
I personally feel they are much better now than last season but still can't expect much from them.

This feeling was always present, how they wanted to achieve great results with relatively little investment. This was clearly visible when coaches of not the highest level came to the team, inexperienced Solskjaer, or Rangnik, and this applied not only to coaches. Ten Hag is probably the best option, but the team also needs players to strengthen the team, and here again it seems that they are trying to achieve a result with what they have.

[Pokapoka124]

It looks like Arsenal are very likely to maintain their winning streak by this week's match as well. They are going to have an away match vs Wolves.

Arsenal defeated them in their last two meets too. Wolves are just horrible this season. They finished the previous season at the 10th place. But there is a huge decrease in their performance now. They got only two wins after leaving fourteen weeks behind. I think that they have a very low chance to get even one point vs Arsenal. Because Arsenal are like their complete opposite now. They are still leader in the league table. The Chelsea win recently should be helpful for them to be extra motivated. I don't expect any mistakes here.

I will not be too quick to give Arsenal the victory, any opponent in the league is dangerous because even those small teams are capable of humiliating the top teams at anytime. We saw how Watford humiliated Liverpool even when Liverpool were going unbeaten so it is wise not to underrate any small team. Wolves are not in a good form now but if Arsenal underestimates them then they may be surprised by the outcome of the match.

Just what you have said Ten Hag needs the backing and support of Man United owners in the next coming transfer and to get everything done immediately even before the transfer window begins.
He is a Man United fan before now, he knows how they dream and what they want to achieve for the next season, the top four and also winning the Premier League. So far if you check he has raised the standards at United and does not settle for less. He should get the player's he wants and he will put the club in shape

I don't know much about this, but when some time ago it was Ronaldo who was asked by Ten Hag to be released and was rejected, one of the reasons was that Manchester United would not give a lot of money in this transfer so maybe this could make them really passive without additional players.
But this was a few weeks ago and it is still speculation as to whether this is true or not especially there are some other rumors about Manchester United looking for a striker now.

What does it have to do with the fact that MU will not give a lot of money, if they on the contrary will get money from his transfer? That doesn't make a lot of sense. He's probably just a backup for them now, that's all. He constantly quarrels with the management, is unhappy about something, wants to play in the end, and they don't give him that. Of course he will want to leave.

Looking at Arsenal and Wolves, which are currently inversely related, I am quite sure of their victory in this match.
I don't think it will be difficult for Arsenal even if they are currently an away team.
Wolves this season are not like them last season who have the power to trouble big teams, although anything can still happen but I have no doubts to say it will be an easy win for Arsenal.

[Rockstarguy]

Even though Wolverhampton is not a team that can be defeated easily, Arsenal will make sure they maintain their position atop the table during the World Cup break by protecting their record. I know Chelsea fans are not happy about Arsenal's recent victories, but they actually deserve to win this season. Gabriel will need to do a good job because Wolverhampton is aware of how Arsenal plays.

Arsenal- Wolverhampton match ie a match is supposed to loose, with the quality performance Arsenal has Wolverhampton shouldn't be a big problem for arsenal. If arsenal wins the match it gives them more advantage to gain more point difference than Manchester City. Arsenal performance in their ĺast match against Chelsea was great , and the upcoming will be interesting  .

[Pokapoka124]

Reshaping the squad back to its best is not as easy as one might think. Manchester United had gone through the worst phase before Ten Hag came to Old Trafford, he needed time to mix a squad with reliable players in every line. Manchester United has slowly started to find the best form, although in several games they had lost important points, Manchester United under Ten Hag's direction is better than the previous coaching period. Ten Hag still needs a few more players in the January transfer window to add depth to the Manchester United squad.

The task of restoring the club back to it's best is not easy but with the right strategies, the right players, mentality and with good discipline they can work something out and move forward towards improvement. The team have struggled for quite some years even before Erik Ten Hag’s arrival and I believe if they finally get the right manager in Ten Hag that will change the current situation at the club.

It's official guys Arsenal isn't joking with the English Premier League this time around, the carabao cup (EFL) was played this past few days. And we saw even teams like Manchester City too it serious and fielded some of their big names. But Arteta is like a man on a mission and didn't feature must top guns in their game against Brighton.

Arsenal may have lost the game by 3:1 but gunners fan can take consolation from the fact that their coach isn't taking any chances in the league. It's been very long they last lifted the English Premier League and if they came going the same we they are going now they can be crowned kings of England.

The loss wasn't so much big deal anyone can win and loss in such game's in the EFL Cup, Even Arsenal has found it difficult to win against Brighton go back to those old game's they had and you will see thru have been more of a poor than good side against Arsenal.
Such defeat as this are for lesson it's nice aterta loss to learn something to address the next game. Saw how Chelsea also lost to Man City last night Mahrez with the goal and assisting to Alvarez to score the second, in the game Jack Grealish was  awesome, very sharp at goal.

Is anyone watching Manchester United play against Aston Villa in the third round of the Caraboa cup, It was a goalless game after the first 45mins but just four minutes into the start of the second half, Villa scored a goal and Manchester United quickly responded just some seconds later, thanks to the brilliance of Bruno and finishing of Martial. The overall performance of some Manchester United players has not been so good.  Fred has not been good and Van de Beek has had little influence on this game so far. Both teams have to be careful, because they both look likely to win now that the game have been giving life as both teams scored.

If Manchester united fail to win again against Villa after loosing to them some days ago in the premier league, we will agree that Manchester United's performance recently has deteriorated and they can likely loose against Fulham in the premier league this weeked.

I think thats thw point right there, they aren't used to not being in the top and they've got some quality players to guarantee that and still, they continue to struggle. Can't say they aren't doing great at the moment although, they ought to have taken there chances with Aston Villa over the weekend but they didn't and have got the 5th spot on the league table to show for it.
Speaking of Manchester United lose against Aston Villa in the EPL, they've got same fixtures in the Carabao cup and they aren't doing good either. At the moment, they are losing Manchester United 1:2 Aston Villa and its not looking like they would manage a draw.

[Captain Corporate]

,
I agree it doesn't make sense to go with the FA or carabao or any other cup because at the end of the day they are going for the league title and that would be an insane level of success for them and they can't take any chances. It's not like "lose the other cups and win the league", you may still end up losing the league but it's quite important to make that distinction between tiring your players or keeping them fresh for the league. It doesn't matter if its fa or carabao or community or Europa or even champions league if it was available. Focus purely on EPL and just EPL and hope that you might get it.

Their is no two ways to think that wolves to defeat arsenal, even though they are with a magic, they can not win, because from the performance of wolves can tell you how buoyant they are to defeat arsenal, despite that you can't underestimate or on directe any clubs, but i my prediction goes that arsenal will win wolves even though the match is being fixed twice they will directly defeat wolves, if you watch the system of arsenal methods of play, that will interest to give them direct wining without a biases concept, because it's written on the wall that will record wining for the match

[Pokapoka124]

If Arteta is the manager of Chelsea or Manchester United i am sure he already been sacked long before and this what makes Arsenal different than other big teams on Premier League that their management looks didn't give a lot of pressure to their manager even last season when Arsenal had poor performance period and most people will predict Arteta will be sacked but Arsenal management has patience to him and today they already feel the results that after long period process Arsenal finally can able to compete along with Manchester City for the trophy

When you work as a manager I feel it is important to have the backing and support of the top hierarchy to perform, if they are able to trust your strategies it makes it easier for the fans and players to follow. Arteta was able to earn the trust of the management that is why even when things were rough and some percentage of the group were singing Arteta out! The management stood firm and supporting him cause his project and vision was  clear and in same direction with that of the management which is not the same with Chelsea and Manchester United.

It's difficult for Manchester United when their top brass do things like this in the hope that their heyday will return with their lack of conditions.
I personally don't think it's going to go as expected when you see Manchester City and Arsenal and Tottenham this season have been more active in transfers and spending money it's clear their chances are real and very big right now.

[Pokapoka124]

My concern for Arsenal this season is that Arteta's players are not balanced between those in the first squad and the reserves. If faced with several competitions, it can certainly make it difficult for Arteta if faced with injuries that will be received by his players.
Hopefully the defeat in the EFL CUP is not a loss that is allowed or intentional in order to focus on the Premier League and Champions League.

Yeah you are absolutely right, I am also very concerned about the squad depth for the season. Arsenal have a good first team squad but they are weak in terms of depth. Arsenal are league title contenders now and it is expected that things will not remain all rosy as games keep coming, they will face injury setbacks and bans from bookings and if Arsenal are not well equipped with good in the team it will be a major problem to cope with, thank God for the international break that goes through the transfer period so they can be able to recruit and bring in additions.

[uchegod-21]

Manchester United's performance this season has been below average and for that other smaller clubs will take advantage of the weakness of man u to build a strong record in the various league, I was amazed at manchester united low performance this season, and even if they chose to improve it may have become late for the club since the season has gone far.

Is it that you don't know about football or you purposely wish to type anything you like. how can you say that Manchester United have been very poor since this season and small things will be taking advantage of their weakness. Do you follow Manchester United matches? do you know how poor Manchester United was last season and compared to how good they are performing this season?
The way you describe Manchester United is not how they are in this season they are very far better than what you said.

[alpamar99]

I don't know much about this, but when some time ago it was Ronaldo who was asked by Ten Hag to be released and was rejected, one of the reasons was that Manchester United would not give a lot of money in this transfer so maybe this could make them really passive without additional players.
But this was a few weeks ago and it is still speculation as to whether this is true or not especially there are some other rumors about Manchester United looking for a striker now.

What does it have to do with the fact that MU will not give a lot of money, if they on the contrary will get money from his transfer? That doesn't make a lot of sense. He's probably just a backup for them now, that's all. He constantly quarrels with the management, is unhappy about something, wants to play in the end, and they don't give him that. Of course he will want to leave.

Therefore, they know that the club's management will not give a lot of money for the transfer later so holding Ronaldo is a viable option.
Regardless of anything selling Ronaldo now in the hope of getting more from the sale, it certainly won't make sense, especially since Ronaldo's current price has definitely dropped dramatically.
Now there's talk about Osimhen. Would they be able to bring him in with a 100 million clause on the condition that the higher ups didn't want to spend any money.

Many things changed for Manchester united that's very clear but unfortunately they still very far from what Manchester united was in the past, this team is the greatest team in England and the administration must act quickly to take the club back to their real place

It will be very sad to see Manchester united loosing their prestige bt the time

[bekti3]

The GUNNERS are really putting on a  good impression and I think last night loss against Brighton should actually be put back. They should continue their good form because for now I think they are only team that can handle the heat Manchester City is bringing to league.


Arsenal have not contested for the league title for long now and I think this year they can actually get a short at it, that's only  if arteta can be sure to straighten up his boys and continue their current form

This does not have any impact because the defeat to Brighton can be considered as something that is not a priority and it can be seen with the condition of their players who are almost entirely young players and substitutes who need flying time.
I personally still feel that Arsenal will only focus on the Europa League and EPL for now, especially with their current condition, which is a good thing because it will not be too good if there is too much competition.

Now that's how a team with fighting spirit should be take a good look at the outcome of the second half but with six goals in the match all resulting from the second half. I must applaud Man United for everyone and every single player. Ten Hag is a good coach the substitute was impressive as they helped seal the game. Van Dee Beek improving he was more different to the other Days
