Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[MCobian]

It turned out to be an impressing match of the week @Chelsea Vs Manchester United after dragging themselves to a draw. No doubt both fans were okay with this result as they shared points on a goal less draw.

It is true that the draw results can be accepted by supporters of both teams, but for me it is quite tedious for both teams to not score a single goal.
Even though I imagined that many goals would be created, and I was a little disappointed because my prediction turned out to be wrong, but maybe
this is what the two coaches are aiming for. Because if we look at the statistics of Chelsea and Manchester United, both of them are balanced, it seems
that both teams want to play it safe. Even though I was disappointed and had to suffer a loss because I bet on Chelsea's victory, I have to admit that
a draw result is the best for both teams.

Liverpool are finally winning a game in the EPL after 4-game losing streak. They are defeating a weak opponent Sheffield but it will still help boost their morale before the next matches I think. After Chelsea-Manchester Utd ended 0-0, they will also decrease the point difference with Chelsea to 1.

Absolutely disappointed with Chelsea - Manchester United.. with not many chances.. not a good football, both teams satisfied with draw.. but, on the other hand, such a nice games between Tottenham - Burnley and Leicester - Arsenal. Such an amazing matches with nice tempo. Bale finally started to play well and motivated. Arteta with Arsenal is doing really magical things!

Despite the fact that the match ended in a draw, I did enjoy watching a match. Man Utd and Chelsea played some good football, especially Chelsea.  Talking about goals, Reece James came very close to putting Chelsea 1-0 up earlier in the second half after replacing Odoi. Also Man Utd was denied a possible penalty on Odoi too. Considering it was goalless both home and away, I'd say it was a closely contested contest between both sides. Hard to say which side deserves to win.

Liverpool are finally winning a game in the EPL after 4-game losing streak.

As expected against Sheffield , almost every team in EPL will most likely win against them.

I'd say it was a closely contested contest between both sides. Hard to say which side deserves to win.

It wasnt close at all. I gotta admit that Chelsea was better in that match and with Cavani being injured, its even harder for Manchester United to keep up with Chelsea. Its actually a relieve that the match ended up with a draw, getting only 1 point makes it even harder for United to catch up with City but Chelsea could have gotten 3 points today

Arteta with Arsenal is doing really magical things!

Only 2 wins out of the last 5 matches, is nowhere close to magical stuff.

Unfortunately Tottenham and Arsenal cannot compete yet, of course it will be very interesting to see these strong teams compete with each other.

The crisis in the Liverpool team began to drag on very much and could lead to sad consequences both in the standings and in the financial part, because it is no secret that the income from the Champions League makes up a significant part of the budgets of such clubs. Moreover, it is worth considering the situation with television rights, whose revenues have even begun to fall in recent years.

Agreed. Chelsea was the better team out there. Mount and Ziyech gave the Man Utd defensive duo of Maguire & Lindelof a run for their money. But it's worth noting that Man Utd didn't have a lot of attacking options on their hands due to injury. Cavani would've filled in really well because Rashford was totally hidden from match. Bruno too.

I'm happy we won today after going through so much upsets over the last couple of games in the PL this season. At this point, we would be good with just UCL qualification for next season's campaign.

Is that really the main problem? because I see other teams don't have the same problem right? and they've played pretty well so far like Man United which continues to improve in every game, but ok each team may have different finances however this sounds sad, financial problems can affect the performance of a player.

Reality is that Mourinho is not a bad coach, we have seen him being a good coach in other teams, we all know he is a great coach when it comes to X's and O's and how he builds his strategy around the team he has. However I believe he is not the best coach in the world when it comes to human interactions, and that is why Tottenham is not doing good at all.

Mourinho is one of the greatest coaches in history and in current generation, he is among the top coaches together with Pep Guardiola, Juegren Klopp and Zinedine Zidane. Tuchel, Pochettino are far behind these three coaches. Others are from previous generation as Ancelotti.

It would be an important season for Mourinho. If he can keep his position and stars of the club, the next season will be the one to hunt for some trophies. Bale is probably back after many seasons under the silent punishment of Zidane in Bernabeu. If Mourinho and Bale can stay in the club, and if Kane, Son won't leave, they will all improve the quality of Spurs a lot.

Bale has the best period in latest few seasons and I think he is very enjoying the time in Spurs.

No goals today at Stamford Bridge .
Chelsea 4rth consecutive clean sheet they alsolooked a lot for victory and was the closest to scoring had it not been for De Gea's brilliance today .

At the end this results serves the best for Manchester City securing the EPL.

IT is ending soon with the Premier League trophy and cup for Manchester City. 1 draw, 1 point only makes the race is more out of hands for Manchester United.

It's a shame for such big teams to not be able to score one single goal in 90 minutes, they should get some penalties for that, like -1 point. Manchester United doesn't deserve anymore to win the championship, third draw in their last 5 matches, they are obviously just playing to conserve their 2nd place, shame on them, I hope they'll lose it at the end. 

They are back to what they usually show before the sudden dance to the top of table. Now, they are back to what they are struggling under Solskajer management. I will wait for what the club show in the next season. Will other clubs allow Bruno Fernades to have open space to play and help Manchester United in his third season in Premier League? I am guessing not.

[SFR10]

The absence of Maddison should have been affective on their poor performance but still this is a very unexpected result.

Yes, it did but they were missing 5 more players ^[AFAIK] and Barnes midgame injury contributed to their lack of creativity.

Yeah and I was saying earlier how an over-reliance on Auba would be detrimental, only for Luiz to pop up, Pepe too, plus that penalty.

Willian ^{[best game in an Arsenal shirt]} and Xhaka ^{[apar from the mistake that leads to the early goal, he bossed the midfield]} deserve credits as well.

They seem to be on top of there game plan at the moment, after there 3-0 win in the Uefa Europa.

I believe it was 3-2

Arteta with Arsenal is doing really magical things!

Honestly, it could've been a different story if Leicester didn't have to deal with a lot of injured players ^{[having said that, I liked the tempo that Arsenal kept trying until the end]}.
As for today's game, I'm expecting the visitors ^{[Southampton]} to lose against Everton ^{[both teams to score]}.

Manchester United has improved a lot this season, without a doubt, defensively receiving fewer goals and offensively, its sources are multiple and agreed,
but !! When you play against the top England and only score one goal, it was in the Tottenham disaster, which the team lost by six and did not achieve any victory over them. Or a wrong strategy that must be changed by not exaggerating defense and relying on apostates !! Winning over the big6 is only one who develops victory mentally and gives him the confidence that is currently lost in front of them.

Becoming the champions (which seems not so possible  ) or not, Manchester Utd will still end this season with a great result for sure. They are having one of their best seasons for a long time. I think they will end the league as the 2nd but I really would like them to be the champions this season. I have a so big respect for City's marvelous performance also.    Otherwise, my favorite was Man Utd.

[abhiseshakana]

But it's worth noting that Man Utd didn't have a lot of attacking options on their hands due to injury. Cavani would've filled in really well because Rashford was totally hidden from match. Bruno too.

It seems that Solksjaer chose to use a strategy like the one against Sociedad (when they won 0-4 at Sociedad Stadium), so they prefer to play defensively and wait for the moment to make a quick counterattack. I think Man United should have received a penalty for Hudson-Odoi's handball in the penalty area but unfortunately, the referee thought the incident was not a clear handball.

1 point earned by Man United is a pretty decent result and they should also thank Arsenal because Leicester has the chance to take 2nd place, but Arsenal has thwarted it.

[Igebotz]

I think Man United should have received a penalty for Hudson-Odoi's handball in the penalty area but unfortunately, the referee thought the incident was not a clear handball.

What did you watch man! the incident was reviewed several times and that should have been a foul against Greenwood for trying to pull Odoi's hand to the ball but unfortunately, his hands touch the ball first before Odoi's. Manutd spent the whole time looking for a silly penalty as usual. This Tuchel Chelsea side are so solid they don't lose the ball for more than 1 min, it was a balanced game though Chelsea played most of the game in the united 18 yards box but couldn't penetrate

[buwaytress]

Willian ^{[best game in an Arsenal shirt]} and Xhaka ^{[apar from the mistake that leads to the early goal, he bossed the midfield]} deserve credits as well.

Suppose about time Willian earns his wages. I did watch him play recently too though and he was one of the better players on the field but I can never really be convinced about the squad overall until I see that they clear out their discipline issues.

All the same, credit where it's due, as you say.

As for today's game, I'm expecting the visitors ^{[Southampton]} to lose against Everton ^{[both teams to score]}.

Toffees are the clear favourites here for sure but even with all the injuries, I'm counting on Saints to put up a real fight. A Minamino/Ings goal apiece maybe or am I dreaming? 4/1 is too attractive for me to resists, is all I'm saying;)

[Reosta_]

I'd say it was a closely contested contest between both sides. Hard to say which side deserves to win.

I also agree with you. Chelsea made a greater effort and had better statistics compared to Manchester Utd. I was also surprised that how they couldn't score a goal and we didn't even see any goal in a match like this. This is Chelsea's 2nd consecutive draw and their next match will be vs Liverpool away. It will be another interesting match.

But looking at Liverpool’s poor form overall lately and how the next 5 matches out of 6 are somewhat tough, it’s gonna be sketchy...  And I’ve been saying this, player fatigue is a thing.  Esp how Klopp’s squads play.  Most of his squad has been with him since he got there.  I think LFC should be active during the summer transfer window to sell some players and get new faces in to freshen up the squad.

To be honest, I'm also not very hyped about Liverpool for the next matches. Considering Sheffield are the worst team in the league, it wasn't surprising for me that Liverpool defeated them. They are gonna play vs Chelsea home in their next match. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea win it. Liverpool are even under the threat of not qualifying for any tournaments with their recent performance. They are still not eliminated from the CL but I don't think that they will even get to the final.

[skarais]

Manchester City have been excellent so far. At the top of the table, they are also the only team to concede just 16 goals in 26 match. All of the players seem to be working quite satisfactorily and the strong defense has really supported them so far to reach the championship. Now that Manchester City are very comfortable at the top of the table, they have 12 point more than second-placed Manchester United and 13 point above Leicester. It will make Manchester City play without pressure in my opinion. They will face Wolves in the follow-up match on March 3.

For today's match between Everton vs Southamton, I think Everton will dominate the game and will do their best to try to move up to 6th in the standing. Liverpool who are currently in 6th position are likely to drop to 7th if Everton win today's game. Also Everton still have 1 more match which will allow them to get ahead of Liverpool.

I think LFC should be active during the summer transfer window to sell some players and get new faces in to freshen up the squad.

That is an option Liverpool management should think about at the moment. They lost a lot of point just because the cover players didn't do well when the main players were absent. Their defenses were far from satisfactory, they would have to finish their proposal immediately if they were to return to compete in the top 4.
