Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oshosondy]

It would be very bad for Chelsea if they had to lose the match again this time, it would extend their bad record this season. But seeing the current conditions they could have repeated the results of the previous 2 matches, namely they lost again. Playing as the host, should be able to motivate them even higher so they don't disappoint their supporters who are present at the match directly.

Chelsea is a disappointment for now as they continue to play very bad as Fulham won the club. But for City, winning Chelsea is expected though. Chelsea is playing with Crystal Palace today, but it is a kind of match I can not take because of how bad Chelsea is. If I should guess what would happen, Crystal Palace can not win Chelsea today.

Recent seasons, some big clubs got troubles like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. In the past and this seasons, Manchester United and Arsenal started to recover and they are moving to top rankings again.

I can still accept that Chelsea and Liverpool got troubles, but how is Arsenal in trouble when the club still have one match to play today and still retain the first position?

Man United's victory could not be separated from the strategy implemented by Ten Hag. The first match where Man United lost 6-3 was used as a lesson by Ten Hag. He realized that Man United's strength was still below Man City, for that Ten Hag preferred to play defensive football by playing 2 defensive midfielders at once (Casemiro and Fred) and as much as possible to counterattack when they get the chance. That strategy seems to be working because Man United's tight defense made it difficult for Man City to create opportunities and 2 Man United goals came from counterattacks.

I love this game..

Two offensive and aggressive fullbacks ( Aaron Wan Bissaka and Tyrel Malacia ) made things difficult for both Mahrez and Phil Foden to operate. A tight combination of Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez to hold down Erling Haaland.
The double midfielder's pairing worked, as Fred was assigned to locking down Kelvin De Brunne from operating, much lesson's from the first game , when Man United loss to City.

Some tactical errors done by Erik Ten Hag but he correctly corrected those errors by bringing on Garnacho for Christian Eriksen who was absent in that game.
Bringing Anthony for Martial had no effect, it was refreshing to see Garnacho, ready to take on any player, he now stands as the youngest player in Manchester United to give an assist in Manchester United. Pep Guardiola says this is a better side than Jose Mourinhos team with Manchester United.

Brilliant movements from Marcus Rashford, I hope they don't over rely on Marcus Rashford, so we don't cry when he by chance is Injured.
At the end of the day, Manchester was RED 👹❤️🔴

The match was very tough, both team played well. I'm happy as Manchester United fan that we won, we were just lucky to win the match, Ten Tag bringing in Garnacho was the best decision that changed the game. Rashford and Fernandez gave us the winning goals, it was a good comeback for the red Devils. But Ten Tag has to sign new striker, we can't reply Absolutely on Rashford and martial, we need an extra good striker in the squad.

I had a bet on Manchester City.  I was ecstatic after scoring the first goal.  But in just a short span of time I lost my bet and faced loss which is unfortunate for me.  Not just bad luck, thousands of people like me have faced people in this match.  Manchester City was the most aggressive, while Manchester United turned the happy time into a sea of ​​sadness in just 20 minutes.  Manchester City and Manchester United gave a fitting reply in this match as the game to be won was to be lost.

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.

I never believed that the match could turn out to be what it is, Man U did a good job, and so was Man City. But the City like that of the beginning of this season is lacking, more needs to be done in the area of their aggressive attack as it was. Man U has proven they are fully back, and they are now a single point below City, which is a serious threat to them in the second position.

Another mistake from City would cost them more. It's only Arsenal that is still comfortable in the first position, the second position will now be keenly contested by United and City, and I don't have a preference between the two anymore.

[gabbie2010]

Manchester United showed us once again that ball possession doesn't mean everything. Manchester City played with the ball so much that the ball possession rate was like 70% for them. However Manchester United still made a comeback and beat them by 2-1. It was like Manchester United waited for the moment they concede a goal. It really fired them up and both goals came by only a four-minute interval. Both of the goals they scored were really nice and well-deserved. Because they were already able to find big opportunities to score before these goals.

Manchester United just did their thing here. They beat another big team in Old Trafford thanks to ten Hag's good system against such teams here.

Teams like Manchester United will always give a different perception on playing high possession ball with their counter attacking style of play and quick transition game which proved to be helpful in todays game against Manchester City who held more possession of the ball while United had more goals lol. What a comeback for Manchester United, City's defense was just not solid in tbe second half and cost them all three points.

This edition of Derby really has produced quite an interesting and dramatic game. Very much different from the previous editions. Manchester City did dominate but United were able to maximize the opportunities into goals. I think it is part of the strategy, the style of play that Pep Guardiola applies is ball possession. However, Ten Hag was also quite observant in reading the strategy and he succeeded in instructing the defense to kill Haaland.

Then the process of creating a goal from Bruno Fernandez became a turning point for United to control the game. the actions of the Red Devils players were extraordinary, they played a high level of intelligence so that the City defense line was in disarray.

This victory is a signal of MU's awakening. They are now pushing into the top three standings with a collection of 38 points. MU is one point away from Man. City are in second place and six points from Arsenal who are at the top.

Manchester City has 39 points and there are 5 points between them and the Arsenal. If Arsenal win their match against Tottenham in the London derby today, they will have 47 points. They will make the points difference 8 and will be more comfortable at the top of the league.

Manchester City have fallen short of expectation this season. If they continue like this, they will also lose their second place. I think we will face a very different points table in the Premier League after many years at the end of the season.

Honestly Man City has not live up to expectations this season, in their last few matches, they drew lowly rated Everton, managed a narrow win against Chelsea whose key players has been sidelined due to injuries lost to Southampton and lost to Man Utd yestarday with a single shot on goal this is quite unusual, Man City will play Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves respectively in their next fixtures these are also tough matches, I hope Arsenal win in White Hart lane today so as to consolidate their first position with an outstanding match against Man City next month.

[Spack17]

Mykhaylo Mudryk isn't a centre-forward maybe but his statistics are really like he is playing as a striker. He has 10 goals and 8 assists in 18 matches so far. I think Chelsea have made a really solid signing this time. They are spending a huge sum like 100 million euros for his transfer fee maybe. But I don't think Chelsea owner would make it a big deal as the club is very rich already. Boehly just wants this team to be successful and he seems ready to make all the moves necessary.

But transfers aren't guaranteeing anything of course. Potter has a big responsibility to keep the team chemistry as good as possible. This season won't end very well for them clearly but they can save the next one at least.

The match that was very unexpected last night between Manchester United vs Manchester City, the two teams that appeared so intense in carrying out attacks. Manchester City took the lead first through Jack Grealish's goal, but not long after that Manchester United managed to score 2 in a short time, these goals were scored by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. but in this match the player who became the main key to the victory of the red devils was Alejandro Garnacho, since he entered in the 72nd minute, the intensity of Manchester United's attack was faster and was always superior when carrying out quick counterattacks. With this result, Manchester United has moved up to 3rd place in the standings and is only 1 point different from its city rival, Man City.

With this result, Manchester United has moved up to 3rd place in the standings and is only 1 point different from its city rival, Man City.

Manchester United played more carefully in this derby match they only took advantage of counter attacks and it was very effective at the end of the game by being able to turn things around.
from the start of the match it was clear that this match would be very fierce after in the last few matches Manchester United had played well and this was true proof for them.
playing more effectively has made Manchester United win, they are now getting better and they are continuing to rise up the table and that is inversely proportional to Manchester City who have lost in their last 5 matches, this will be very detrimental for those who continue to be left behind from Arsenal .

now Arsenal are getting comfortable at the top of the standings, if Arsenal manage to win against Tottenham today then they will be 8 points ahead of their competitors, this is a very good thing for them to maintain consistency until the end of the season, with a point distance that is quite far allows for a team to play more comfortably and that way you will be able to bring out your best performance.

[letteredhub]

I personally disbelief with chelsea with the current form. I meant if we must also aware the fact that if chelsea was always playing so bad against any team. it doesn't matter how bad or good the opponents that faced by chelsea and the result will always be the same.
Chelsea will always be losing again and again no matter what kind of team that faced by chelsea. The worst era for chelsea

Will they lose again today? If they lose again or fail to gain full points today, they have to say goodbye for the chance to be in CL and EL next season. Their current form is indeed bad, they have not found their best starting eleven yet, they have not found their best strategy, and they have to miss so many players due to injury and cards. Crystal palace in the other side is not that good as well, if Chelsea can boost their motivation, there will be a way to win but if they dont have great motivation then they will not be able to something better.

Being at the end of a phase of uncertainty and lack of motivation forced Chelsea to swallow a bitter moment. While other clubs have grown a lot but for Chelsea they are completely oblivious to it all. As long as the world cup was over, it seemed that Chelsea was too relaxed and let their players not make changes. It's a shame, because if Chelsea don't participate in the Champions League or Premier League, it feels like the composition of the club is not perfect. However, I hope that this slump will be a big lesson for the Blues not to get discouraged and try to build a squad again from scratch.

The origin of the problem of Chelsea as a club started from it's haste change of leadership and management, let's be frank to ourselves, potter haven't had a grand record to be able to handle a big team as Chelsea, the coach is overwhelmed looking by the decisions he makes in his choice of players to sign into the club, and pattern of play on the pitch. It will only take a wonder to see Chelsea in the UCL cause I don't see such happening going by the way the team is losing form by each matchday that even underdog teams are excited to play them. This is not the Chelsea we knew!

Manchester City has 39 points and there are 5 points between them and the Arsenal. If Arsenal win their match against Tottenham in the London derby today, they will have 47 points. They will make the points difference 8 and will be more comfortable at the top of the league.

Manchester City have fallen short of expectation this season. If they continue like this, they will also lose their second place. I think we will face a very different points table in the Premier League after many years at the end of the season.

Arsenal were very happy to see Manchester United beat Manchester City, Manchester City failure to add points made Arsenal even more obsessed with winning the London derby against Tottenham. Arsenal will not waste the opportunity to stay away from Manchester City, the victory at home to Tottenham is a price that cannot be negotiated anymore.

Arsenal have the opportunity to bring home three points, their slick performance in the Premier League so far has put Arteta's team as the favorites despite their status as a visiting team. The victory over Tottenham is not just about wanting to add three points to get away from Manchester City, this victory in the Derby will increase the mentality of Arsenal players to face Manchester United on January 22.

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.

Almost the same scenerio with Manchester City's loss today, I can only imagine how frustrating it will be when you lose a game after taking the  lead and later falling behind. Everton have been conceding too many goals this season which is one area Frank Lampard needs to work on. Klopp has work to do in this Liverpool team and he needs to it fast because with the pace at which Liverpool is moving they might fall below 10th position at the end of the season.

[rendravolt]

Liverpool lost again when they visited Brighton headquarters with a score of 3-0. The inclusion of Cody Gakpo in the starting line-up was also unable to make Liverpool able to get a point in this match. A quick brace was scored by Solly March and then the third goal was scored by Danny Welbeck. With this result, the fate of the reds worsened after they also lost to Brentford with a score of 3-1.

[asriloni]

I can still accept that Chelsea and Liverpool got troubles, but how is Arsenal in trouble when the club still have one match to play today and still retain the first position?

The problems that faces by chelsea and liverpool was not acceptable. So much money already spent for nothing unlike manchester city and arsenal which have been doing so many successful transfer. I can also take newcastle as the best example. Newcastle has been making nine successful transfer last season and all of players in newcastle was able making the club to enter into the top 4 unlike chelsea and liverpool. It seems like that chelsea will be even worst compared with liverpool.
Todd already spent a lot of money to make the position of chelsea goes even deeper to the bottom.

[dwminer1]

Definitely the most interesting of today's matches promises to be the London derby, Tottenham vs Arsenal. Arsenal, after yesterday's victory for Man Utd in the derby, have the opportunity to extend their lead over the runners-up. They certainly have a chance, as they have won as many as 7 out of 9 away matches so far. Tottenham haven't been in great form in recent games, but a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace in the previous game is encouraging. I hope for an interesting match and a lot of goals, I bet over 2.5 goals.

[D-law]

Today they are both conceding between themselves the tip for today would be both side scoring
Arsenal wins here and again against Manchester United will make them ahead of City very well
Arsenal fans shouldn't expect a win for this game, tottenham are back to good form harry Kane would be currently warming to score Arsenal as usual, last time was penalty kick.

Chelsea may need several seasons to deal with these problems, and no certain time to fix them. However, one of the solution is to sign good players both for attacking line and midfield line. Man United have proven it, by signing proper players, they can fix the problem gradually. Man United performance looks better after they signed Martinez, Antony, Eriksen, and Casemiro. 

We don't have several seasons on our hands to waste, we aren't Manchester united or Arsenal. We need results now and we can get that if we just sign the right players for the right roles instead of scouting for younglings that'll take forever for them to develop into a top team players. I still don't understand why the management is that interested in the young players and long-term deals when they need players that can give immediate impact to the team. Excluding the red card at our last game against Fulham, who else notice how impactful J. Félix was.

If we had signed players like that in the very start of the season, we won't be in this position where everyone is blaming the manager forgetting that we have a very shitty team of players that can't create or convert chances or score goals. Havertz is one of Chelsea's problems. Imagine not been able to convert the chance that was given to him by Felix that any other striker would had converted quite easily.

Chelsea are going through a phase, Arsenal went through the same phase 2 seasons ago, Manx United also went through this phase and so far it was signing of new players who were able to blend in and change the game that changed the situation for them. In my opinion Chelsea needs to sign the right players to change their situation, they should focus more on talents rather than big names.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Bringing in of new players without having a positive results is just a no no for me and the club (Chelsea)  knows that. How can you be spending and you're going down the table instead of coming up and competing for top four or competing for the title. Todd is just doing the right thing at the wrong time I think.

When did the spending start, the players are just coming in and yet to adapt to the team so there's no need judging them yet. When Todd Boehly is done with his purchase then things aren't going well then we can complain. Right now they're still building the team as we see Todd Boehly actively in the market trying to get the best players available.

Although we don't have much time on our hands, Chelsea is still undergoing transformation, they just got acquired by a new owner, that brought in a new board and coach. You don't just expect everything to start clicking immediately. We have to give them time, we aren't even half way into the season yet and we're already been cancelled.

We can still make top 4 as the clubs at those positions aren't that far away, Some few bad runs to them and Chelsea good runs can put us back into the discussion for a top 4 finish. Chelsea winning the champions league this season will also guarantee us a position in the next season competition. Although winning it will be like an unlikely outcome but still isn't impossible.

A quick brace was scored by Solly March and then the third goal was scored by Danny Welbeck. With this result, the fate of the reds worsened after they also lost to Brentford with a score of 3-1.

Brighton having scored an impressive three goals to win the game against Liverpool is pretty outstanding. I know People that had put some good bet on Liverpool winning the game against Brighton as it had seemed to most people like a walkover for Liverpool. Brighton surely proved everyone wrong. They played really well and scored 3 goals as a result. I particularly liked the fact that Welbeck was the player that scored the third goal to solidify their win.
Both sides played well but the obvious better team was the team that won. Liverpool has had some Ill luck with their last two games and of need of some morale booster in form of a win.

[aylabadia05]

It's a mess. The second half saw Manchester United lose their way, in stark contrast to the first half. Either because Manchester City players already know if United's game is like that so Kevin de Bruyne's pass from a difficult space was successfully headed by Grealish into a goal for Manchester City's victory.

I think, Erik ten Hag must be brave to back up Bruno Fernandes who is one of the factors of Manchester United's lack of creativity even though the referee has just admitted that the goal scored by Bruno was not in an offside position.
And the winning goal for Manchester United by Rashford just happened.

How quickly United turned the game, it took +- 120 seconds and now actually 2-1. The 1-1 „offside“, that was close because VAR even checked it. Now United are only 1 point behind City in the league and Arsenal can take their time to geht more points in the coming games. This games will be decided at the end of the season and today it does speak for a Manchester City championship.

Even with the results obtained in the Manchester derby match seemed to give hope to fans of an optimistic attitude that Manchester United would be able to catch Arsenal with a closer point difference considering that there are still many league matches left. The signal will come true if they do not panic easily in the remaining matches as happened in the second half last night at Old Trafford.

As for Bruno Fernades' goal, I think there was an offside move by Rashford as the number 10 was seen running and lifting his leg as the ball approached him before allowing Bruno to shoot at Ederson who was running from behind him.

[Hyphen(-)]

Arsenal were very happy to see Manchester United beat Manchester City, Manchester City failure to add points made Arsenal even more obsessed with winning the London derby against Tottenham. Arsenal will not waste the opportunity to stay away from Manchester City, the victory at home to Tottenham is a price that cannot be negotiated anymore.

Yesterday's Manchester derby result was a bit in favor of Arsenal and Manchester United, as Manchester United is getting closer to the top of the table with just one point behind Manchester City who people see as a potential title winner if Arsenal fails to keep their consistency.

Arsenal have the opportunity to bring home three points, their slick performance in the Premier League so far has put Arteta's team as the favorites despite their status as a visiting team. The victory over Tottenham is not just about wanting to add three points to get away from Manchester City, this victory in the Derby will increase the mentality of Arsenal players to face Manchester United on January 22.

A win for Arsenal today increases their chances of winning the Premier League this season and creates tension in Manchester United, who are Arsenal's next opponents after Tottenham today.

Tottenham's home is always a difficult place for Arsenal because they always lose against Tottenham in away matches. If Arsenal can secure a win today, it will definitely prove to us that they can beat Manchester United or at least get a point against them, increasing their chances of winning the league this season.

As a Gunners fan, I am happy that Manchester United toppled Man City. at least, Arsenal must win in the match against Tottenham which will be held in the next few hours. Arteta's troop squad has the ambition to overthrow the Spurs, even though this match is an away game. of course it will not be easy to overthrow Spurs, the home team will not repeat their mistakes after being defeated by Arsenal on the road.

like it or not, Conte will prepare his troops to win this match. the reason is, the Spurs have lost points in their two matches in the second half of this season. an unpleasant situation for Conte's squad, especially since it is doubtful that Richarlison will be able to play in this league.

As for Arsenal, the Gunners' youth squad is currently in a positive trending phase. especially with the fall of City over United, Arteta obliged his troops to get full points in this match. for sure, the london derby will present an interesting game with high game tension. my estimation, the Gunners will win the match with a score of 1-2.
