Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Smartvirus]

Over 10 defeats now for Everton and with the way its going, they aren't looking looking like a team that can beat anyone. When I saw them get a draw out of Manchester City on new year eve, I thought Frank Lampard's management was going to find his way to being on track in the new year and the next thing, you find them losing to Brighton Hove Albion. Today, they've got another lose from a come back and at a home side. How humiliating can it get and you can clearly see the fans staging there protest at the boards. Frank Lampard needs a page out of Ten Hag's play book.

Manchester United have done well to win the day but, the B. Fernandez's goal is one that is questionable for a good reason. Rules are really finding a way to keep certain decisions.
How do you question if the runs from M. Rashford made impact or not? Of course it js got to make impact and you don't expect the players to all halt to know that. An offside would have been a much more and less debated decision.

I thought that Manchester City would not easily lose a game at the very top after the Haaland transfer this year. This was actually the case at the beginning of the season, and they showed this feeling with the game they played. But the points lost show that they are not invincible. I was saying that after the Everton draw, there might be occasional loss of points in the draw. Manchester United played a very different game today, they created a very comfortable position, there were many missed opportunities in the first half. Moreover, 1 goal was ahead City, Manchester United finished the match by scoring two goals in two minutes.

I don't know why Klopp expects to win games with the likes of Oxlade Chamberlain & Henderson playing every week. A truly surprising display, the midfield has no legs, 3-0 makes Liverpool even further behind the top 4 in the standings.

The midfield lacked energy and the attackers up front were less and less creative from the midfield leaving the back 4 open. Now Liverpool is in a slump. Shame to lose a game with Brighton. i hope liverpool have to buy 2 midfielders and 9 lethals to compete in EPL.

For Chamberlain, I really think he has no other choice there, especially if losing Diaz is still difficult to replace, but that's not an excuse because they really are clowns in this case.
Their meeting this season ended with a score of 3-3 and at that time they also struggled and in the second meeting now they are completely destroyed.
This makes it even more difficult for them and I have serious doubts about Klopp's future now under these conditions.

Today games brought some really unexpected result as Manchester City lost the derby against Manchester United further compromising their title fight,tomorrow Arsenal has a golden chance to further gap the distance between them and City.

I was quite surprised by the results of this match where Man City lost to Man United. If you look at the game statistics, even though Man City was in control of the game and launched many attempts at goal. But indeed they still can not be effective in finishing it. different from Man United, whether because of plus luck or not, but they are very good in terms of finishing accuracy even though they don't control the ball much. Even their various counterattacks gave Ma City a hard time. Even though Man City was able to excel first, they were ultimately unable to increase the number of goals. With this result, the matches in the Premier League are even more interesting, the race for the title is increasing with the joining of Man United again.

the loss of Liverpool against Brighton 3-0

This is really unbelievable, really sad, Liverpool's era seems to have ended this season.

Manchester United gave a good fight to Manchester city despite that the opportunity that was gotten by Rashford was not utilized well in the first half but that is football you make mistake to learn is only when you always repeat the same mistakes that you are tagged an unskillful and bad player, manchester city got the total possession of the match but the fail to defend the first goal the scored in second half which caused them the victory, the rate at which Manchester United aqualized the game was surprising, congratulations to Manchester United for a well deserved winning.

Manchester united climbing the 4th position is a sure deal for them if they continue playing with this momentum. Manchester United gave a good fight in the first after Manchester City took possession of the match.

I wasn't expecting the win though from Manchester United. I predicted a draw match from both teams. Lucky was damn on Manchester United after scoring an offside goal that the referee didn't blow.

Honestly the outcome of this match surprised everyone many soccer analysts had tipped Man City to win, I predicted a draw, Man Utd played brilliantly infact Marcus Rashford two chances in first half of the match would have settled the match, this is indeed an improved Red Devils who played their best match under Erik Ten Hag today, it's unbelievable that Man City had a single shot on goal throughout the duration of the match, Man Utd midfielders never gave Kevin DeBryne much chance to link up with Haaland who was equally well marked which I believe is Man Utd game plan which was well executed.

Another great performance from Manchester United and finally they have managed to win over City. Rashford is performing continuously and he is improving so fast. Casemiro is outstanding and his contribution is a lot for this win. I thought also match may end with draw but a good comeback by Manchester United within short time.

The match  was supposed to have ended draw all things been equal if the controversial equalizing goal by Manchester United was given the right decision to it according to football new rules concerning offsides. Today game when compared to the first leg between United against City that end in 6:3, in favour if City I wouldn't say united outperformed City in anyway, except that there were improvements in their game today and that is something to be proud of them for.

Next, was Liverpool now tagging along with Chelsea down the table, what an ugly season for both teams.

Manchester derby game ended with one side earning 3 points while the other got nothing. There are things to consider in the game especially Marcus rashford IQ on the pitch, he was offside but confused the goal keeper and the defenders with his peaking movement and allow Bruno Fernandes to take the slight shot which ended in the post, ederson couldn't get a hold of it, united are third on the table.
City dominated the game but united won, not too hard to interpret, was it?

Everton lost 2-1 after leading at half-time. It's a sad situation to lose at home when you're ahead. We can say that everton under the management of Frank lampard could not give the desired result this year. When we look at their last 4 matches, we see that they have no problem scoring goals, but they are very good at conceding goals.
I can say that Liverpool lost the match with 2 goals at the beginning of the second half. After conceding the goals, they lost control of the game. Liverpool need to recover as soon as possible.

James Ward-Prowse's quick goal in one minute of the first half really added to the confidence of the Southampton players in this match even though they continued to attack each other but Everton failed to gain any points in this match.
It's a shame really but admittedly it is not to be regretted and they must now plunge to 19th place on the same points as Southampton and West ham in the relegation zone.

Casemiro is outstanding and his contribution is a lot for this win. I thought also match may end with draw but a good comeback by Manchester United within short time.

Man United is on fire, they always win in the last 5 matches. Now, they find the best line up and use the most effective tactic. These factors have a big role to besides good performance of Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and Casemiro. The winning against Man City, makes Man United almost overtakes Man City in the 2nd place. If they can continue to perform well, they have a chance to compete for the title.

Anyway, in theory, I believe people predict Man City will win the match. So, not only you, most people should be suprised with the result. However, it is good for Man United that they finally can prove that they have returned to their best form.

[Velvet78]

The Red Devils really knew what they were doing today. Even though Manchester City managed to score first Manchester United made an insane comeback. This isn't an easy job to do against a team like Manchester City. One of the goals was debatable but I think the call was right. Because the player who was offside didn't touch the ball despite running for it.

This win was very important for Manchester United. Because they are right behind Manchester City now. If Arsenal also lose points this week will completely be great for the Red Devils.

Football is unpredictable,  anything can happen.  I'm not surprised about the performance of Manchester City now because I understand this is football. Their low performance  might be  just a little mistake,  something maybe the coach is not doing it at the right way .

No one thought Manchester united will beat Manchester city so easily today and even with the way the match started Manchester City seems to have the upper hand at first, but the second half brought the magic goal for man united.

And at that point, one can say nothing but to accept the fact that football is not easily predictable and anything can happen in football.

Unexpectedly Manchester United who controlled the match I mean in terms of attack until finally Man United managed to score 2 goals and won
I am optimistic that Manchester United will get a Champions League ticket they did it after Ronaldo left

Man United's win over Man City is really proud. There is no need to control the game, but scoring more goals determines the victory. Man United is currently really on fire. moreover, they are very few points apart from being able to take over the second place. Not only that, lately Man United has been playing more consistently. This is very different from Man City where they are not playing very accurately and their consistency is decreasing. even Haaland does. Even though Man City is coveted to be the trophy holder again this year, especially because of Haaland. But this will be even more interesting in the following matches.

I like the level of strategy and technicality show cased by both Erik Ten Hag and Guardiola during their match today. For example, he brought in  Garnacho and then we saw how Malacia and Shaw  started to go after Kyle Walker. Beautiful game today. Glad that they won the game. I am also sad that City lost. It was so hard to pick the favourites.

Football is indeed unpredictable and open to very wide possibilities. Naploli scored 5 against Juventus yesterday. United beat City from deficit today. In the same season, both Arsenal and Napoli championships are coming, very peculiar thing to happen. City was only able to score once after all that tiki taka but United almost only had two positions and managed to score two goals. Even though I can't give advice to guardiola, he played with the trio of rodri-bernardo-de bruyne. Bernardo and de Bruyne are not very good names in terms of helping the defense anyway. Next to these, you placed Rodri, a heavy football player with defensive virtues. To set up the game on the opponent's court, Rodri was already stuck in the opponent's half throughout the match. As a result, when the attack developed with very fast names in the transition game such as rashford and anthony, Rodri could not keep up with them normally, thus causing you to give more positions. He even caught up in a couple of positions, but Rashford easily knocked him out. So what happened, every attack with quick passes while playing the ball on the opposite court caused an important position either in your goal or in your defense. City midfield plan didn't work today. It may also be Haaland's most ineffective match for this team.

arsenal won't lose points against tottenham because it looks like arsenal can face tottenham easily, besides that manchester united's victory makes their position right in 3rd place under manchester city and although to be honest I'm still disappointed with last night's manchester derby match

Manchester United were very lucky because they managed to keep Erling Haaland from moving, which made it difficult for Manchester City to get goals. With a strategy like that, it gave Manchester United a very good opportunity to try to shoot at goal, until they finally managed to get two goals and get the win against Manchester City.

Actually, Mahrez and Bruyne really wanted to win the game today, but the rest of the team just couldn't keep up with them. Also, Manchester United's first goal was a controversial position in my opinion. Rashford may have entered the active area because he was moving towards the ball. However, there is no need to hide behind excuses. Pep Guardiola must come up with a solution to the unsuccessful results of the last weeks. Maybe he can redesign the midfield with stronger defensive players, maybe he can try a system where players like Bruyne and Mahrez play more freely on the field. I don't know what he should do, but he needs to do something urgently.

Regardless, playing a draw was a possible condition for them before, but what happened was a surprise. They won with the condition that only 3 minutes in the goals that occurred.
But I think it's worth it, look at the roar that occurred at Old Trafford in this match. This is really crazy in my opinion. on the other hand I like the play in the midfield of Manchester United in this match.

[Marykeller]

It looks like Brighton has no problems after being left by Graham Potter, because Brighton seems to be getting better at this moment. I'm sure no one thinks Brighton can beat Liverpool by a massive 3-0, it's clear that Brighton are looking fine right now.
With a very painful defeat like this, at least Chelsea isn't the only big team this season whose performance has dropped so badly. Is it possible that Manchester City will also get the same drop in performance, because it seems that in this era other teams look better than Chelsea, Liverpool and maybe also Manchester City.

What an impressive defeat by Brighton. Brighton defeating Liverpool by 3-0 is something I can't ascertain the result of it. It came as a shock to my marrows how big teams like Chelsea and Liverpool are disappointing themselves this season. This is how they are missing the champions league next season if they fail to qualify for the top four positions of the premier league. I don't think they(Chelsea and Liverpool) will ever come top 4 of the PL though. Let Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Newcastle continue to lead the way(top) of the PL while others follow
