Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mate2237]

Brighton got a good win in the FA cup today, brighton also started to get good results in the league, they have very interesting players, they have talented players. Mitoma's last goal was a complete Japanese goal, he twisted the ball in the air, he controlled it, he scored in three shots, in short, it was unbelievable. A few years ago, Liverpool with this squad, the squad is almost the same, so I say with this squad, if they had said that they would drop to this level, it would not have been convincing at all.

I was surprised to see that Brighton won Liverpool. Because in the morning before I went to church I predicted that Liverpool would win Brighton and only for me to see the replay that Brighton won Liverpool with 2-1.

Brighton has good players I also agree for that and the same also apply to Liverpool. Liverpool has skillful players in the team. But one thing I discovered in the field of football is that even though a team has good players, if they are not favoured in the match, they would not win.

I don’t think the league is redeemable for Liverpool. Klopps men has really been awful this season and even if they started badly this season I have always never written them off, but right now I think the league has gone beyond them.

Liverpool are ninth on the English premier league standings, out of all available competitions apart from the Uefa champions league and they are facing the wrath of Real Madrid. I don’t even see them making top 4.

Liverpool's season has been a disaster from the start, and they are now dealing with injuries.
Despite having some new signings in the team, the team has yet to have wining consistency in the competition; I believe the new signings need time to adjust to the Premier League style of play, and I believe Klopp needs to take very serious action regarding their poor performance; if they continue like this, they will end up losing even their Europa League spot at the end of the season.

The Arsenal defense were able to hold down Erling Haaland in the match. It was very smart of Arteta to take off Holding in the half time, Holding who had already been booked for tackling Haaland and bringing on Gabriel who was able to shut Haaland out for the rest of the game. Even though they lost the game, Arsenal did very well in my opinion.

In this case it seems that besides Haaland there are a number of things that really make his supply a little lacking because Manchester City's midfield is not what it used to be.
But on the other hand, this condition is indeed a little better because with this the real match will be more exciting to watch because next February, of course their meeting will not be filled with players like this match.

If an opposition team handles Kevin DeBryne well without giving him much breathing space definitely Haaland will be shut off with passes thus will have a limited chances of scoring goals because DeBryne gives him most of the assist, this played out in Man City matches against Southampton, Man Utd and Arsenal, though Holding did marked him very well unfortunately couldn't complete the match due to his yellow card I give credit to him for blocking EPL best striker likewise Saliba who came on for him did tried his best with Gabriel, Arteta will some clue in readiness of their match mid February.

Arsenal were impressive going against Manchester City in their FA cup tie. I thought Arsenal would concede many goals but I was impressed with the teams performance especially how the defense were able to hold down Erling Haaland from making an impact in the game. Indeed Arteta is tactical genius and I'm hoping for a better result in their meeting with Manchester City in February.

Manchester city on the other hand occupied the top position last season but this season Asenal pushed man city on the second spot until further results that will determine who among the two club clig to the 1st spot on the premier league table this season.

The only goal from Nathan Ake really determined Man City's victory over Arsenal, after that there were no goals even though the two of them attacked each other and almost put up a difficult resistance to each other. Here it is not only about the results of the matches from the FA Cup but also the prestige of the matches of the two great teams. We know how rivalry Arsenal and Man City are right now, especially in the Premier League where Man City is predicted to be the winner of the EPL this season, but Arsenal actually made another result and are at the top of the standings for a long time until now. Of course this gives its own impression for both of them.

The real challenge for Arsenal is another formidable team that also wants the Premier League trophy this season, and Manchester City is one of them. If they can beat Manchester City then it is a big achievement for Arsenal because they can keep their point difference away from their strongest enemy.
In their upcoming match, Everton is a good chance for them to pick up a point, so I hope to take advantage of that.

Arsenal is focused on the league now. They have already won the FA Cup a couple of times in the past. In addition to the FA Cup, City must focus on the league, including the Champions League. In light of all of these games, I don't know if they can win the league. This season, Arsenal are definitely the favorites. There is no way to predict what will happen in the next couple of weeks or months.

yes, I agree with you, maybe Mikel Arteta's team have often tasted the FA championship, it was recorded that the gunners made it to the finals 21 times and they were able to win the title 6 times in the history of the FA Cup. back to the premier league considering that his opponent manchester city who just beat him in the FA cup, the gunners will try to fix what is lacking and patch up the weak with their strengths, namely to reduce their mainstay squad to maintain the top of the standings and win the title desired by team and all supporters.

At this stage there is no room for complacent if Arsenal main target for the season is to win EPL trophy and considering the lack of depth in the squad especially in their midfield and attack because there isn't any back up for Partey and Xhaka in midfield and Nketiah at the centre forward thus they needed to play fewer number of matches to avoid fatigue and injuries now that they are out of FA cup Arteta main priority is to win league matches consistently to consolidate their number one position in the league, there next match is against troubled and relegation battling Everton a match I am expecting an outright win while Man City play Tottenham who might want a revenge of their last match.

Given that Everton are terrible this season I think they have no chance to beat Arsenal. The club is in a complete mess, so it will be a "passing" match for Arsenal, besides, they will now be completely focused on the league, in which case they can train harder and may well come to the cherished goal

At the moment, the chances of Liverpool to get into the top 4 are estimated by the bookmakers as 3.25 (the top four teams are obviously the favorites). These are better chances than any other club below fourth place right now but I would argue that the odds of 3.25 don't reflect the hopelessness of Liverpool's position. I don't think they even make it into the top 5.

It looks like there was no play at all in the English league today. The reason is of course that the matches in the FA Cup also had to take place this week. A nice tournament, but the return really should be abolished. Why not just extend and then penalties? Because now teams have to play against each other again in the event of a draw and if there is no winner, an extension must still be played and subsequent penalty kicks. Then it is more convenient to do that right at the first match. Man City, of course, are the favorites in this tournament, but United would also like to win this award, having won it last time under Van Gaal's management.

Liverpool performance this season is really surprising to be in this manner.  Liverpool was one of the best team in last season but this season Premier league is hard for them to win most of games. I feel it is too late to still hope on Liverpool to improve their performance.

What an exciting game! Brighton defeated holders Liverpool thanks to a last-minute goal from Kaoru Mitoma. The Seagulls showed great tenacity and determination in coming from behind to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup. Mitoma's magic and exquisite close control on the ball resulted in the game-winning goal, earning him Man of the Match honors. Brighton have won consecutive games against Liverpool for the first time, and the Reds have exited the FA Cup at this stage for the fifth time in seven years. The Seagulls earned their victory!
Without more context, it's unclear what Liverpool FC needs to do. However, in general, the team may need to address any issues with their on-field performance and try to improve their results. This could include modifying the squad, tactics, or training regimen.

Liverpool's decline in form this season is really shocking, the number of games and points lost this season is alarming. At this point I think Liverpool should forget about making an impact in all competitions this season because I doubt they will be able to eliminate Real Madrid in the Champions league come February. Good game for Brighton and a well deserved result, their hard work is paying off for them.

If Spurs lose again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium then it will be no stranger because previously it was the same as Manchester City can always beat Spurs under any circumstances, about the audience seats I don't think all Spurs fans are there but for sure there are always Manchester City fans on the side to support his favorite team.

Even though this is playing as the home ground for Tottenham Hotspurs, I myself prefer Manchester City as the betting odds, I think for the second time in the Premier League, my prediction is that Tottenham will not be able to win again.
Of course I want another surprise.

I also think Manchester City will take home all three points when they face Tottenham in the second leg fixture in the league. Tottenham are not good defensively as we witnessed in the first leg how they threw away a two goal lead and conceded four goals in the end, I think Manchester City will capitalize on this weakness again in the second leg.

I'm feeling very positive about Manchester United's win against Crystal Palace on this match week. I also remember their previous matchup in which Manchester United could have even lost the match. They could have won there if they had their usual scoring performance. I really liked their big effort against Arsenal anyway later on. This seemed promising for this match as well. In Old Trafford we watch a far different Manchester United. They are one of the strongest home teams currently as you know - 7W 1D 1L.

Here in this stadium I don't expect Crystal Palace to be much effective. Manchester United should have the control in their hands and finish them off.

I also agree. Manchester United have the ability to beat Manchester City. Since Manchester United lost their previous match, they will want to give their best to beat City in this match.

In the last meeting between these two clubs, Crsytal Palace escaped being beaten by Manchester United. This time around they may not escape it. Even though Crystal Palace will put up a good fight as usual. But Manchester United will be more resilient and formidable in the midfield against Palace.
But in England nothing is too sure, however the Erik Ten Hag guys are on a good form.

Can we just also get Jadon Sancho returning back for that game, it'll be painfully interesting to see him back drilling those defender's off them feets and displacing em off balance.
The game against Crystal Palace ? That should be three points for Manchester United, we've got to do everything within our reach to ensure we remain in top four so we can get good transfer busy window.

Kudos to Arsenal they won the game, but Manchester United would have had an edge above Arsenal if Casemiro was present. Same tactics used to win Manchester City would have been used likewise.

Ever since Chelsea utilized their new signees, I think they have improved in Premier League for the past 2 weeks, they have not lost a single match, and looking at Fulham, they have lost two matches in a row which signifies that they are getting weak or something is actually wrong somewhere. If Chelsea should move on that momentum, they would conquer Fulham with a clean sheet.

The clean sheets isn't our problem at the moment, we need goals. We have been lacking in the goal department and that's what has been making use lose most of our games. Our previous attacking players barely get us any goals or goals contributions. With the new signings I believe all that will change and Fulham should just be like a training exercises for the squad to understand themselves better for our champions league games coming up in February.

Liverpool on the other hands aren't looking any way better, I think alot has to be done in their current squad for them to get something out of if this season. They have to fire their manager and bring in new signings that they're actually in need of like in the midfield instead of if all the signings they have been doing lately which are all flopping.

[royalfestus]

In the past 3 seasons in the premier league, there have been many schedule upsets, such as the world cup and the pandemic break. Many players were affected by this and the results at the end of the season were affected as well. Do you think the upset would result in reasonable decisions and a change in football and the performance of the players if it continues?

[arallmuus]

Its not happening. Sancho wasnt in the FA cup yesterday so he wont be playing in the next game as well. Pretty sure that Ten Hag wont be putting his name in the first team yet if he hasnt do any drill back and so far nothing is being reported about him starting the drill after taking those days off. Its either day off or whatever happened to him as there isnt any real information about him so far

Liverpool on the other hands aren't looking any way better

Speaking of Liverpool, they lost against Brighton today

With Mount and K. Havertz leading your attack, how can you hope for any goals. These guys play or shot as though, they've got no target practice in their training sessions. It's more if a "let me just shot this way and maybe the post might be that direction and hopefully the goalkeeper would be caught off-gaurd". I clearly don't see what they are doing nor do I see anyone that could make them better.
Hopefully, the new signings in the team could bring the team to its best. It was impressive when J. Felix played although, he caught a red card.  Ziyech needs to bring some of that performance and Chelsea might be unto something.

[Pokapoka124]

Newcastle are still maintaining an impressive form by not losing a single game for many weeks. However they started to get draws quite often recently.

I think their next game will end up with a victory for Newcastle. West Ham have been horrible for weeks and they barely got their first win last week after a long time. I don't think they can resist Newcastle away this week. Newcastle have proven themselves about how eager they are to make it to the Champions League. I don't expect to see them losing points in this one.

Westham are not so good at the time so meeting Newcastle will be a tough one for them. In my opinion Newcastle have a better chance to win on this game but I will not underestimate Westham as anything can happen in the EPL and Westham could put up a shocking result.

It was a sad loss for Liverpool but I think this team needs to think. At the moment they have regressed to a not very good ranking in the league, actually the quality of the squad deserves to be in much better places, but the performance of the team is quite low. They also failed in the FA Cup.
They don't have much hope for this season either. I think they need to make a transfer urgently, the team can only be refreshed that way

The current crisis at Liverpool just keeps going on and on. I honestly can't point out the possible cause of the massive decline is form for Liverpool, they are making signings but still no turn around of form so I keep wondering what could be the cause and it just feels like Klopp has also lost that touch. It’s as if they are under a curse.

[emrecemsan]

Joao Felix still seems to be suspended of a red card. The funny thing is that he got the red card against Fulham and Chelsea's next match is against them once more now.    But even if he was able to play in this match I wouldn't have expected him to make a similar mistake again of course. Felix isn't a bad player and we all saw how ambitious he was even in his first match with Chelsea. I was criticizing Potter about his preferring Felix in the starting eleven right away but we saw him playing effectively until the red card.

In his absence there will still be Mudryk who is another new transfer on the field. After giving positive signals in his first appearance he might be in the starting eleven this time. He should be as well because he would be very useful in improving their scoring ability.

Liverpool is in the same position as Chelsea, who stand in the 10th position. Aston Villa is in the 11th position, while Crystal Palace stands in the 12th position. I am not a fan of Liverpool, but I am not seeing them less; they are still 5 points above Crystal Palace and 12 points above Wolves, so they can do better. The 7th Premier League match of February would be Wolves hosting Liverpool at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, and that's on February 4, 2023. Wolves are in 17th place on the league table, 12 points away from Liverpool. I believe Liverpool is going to win the game and gain few points, unless Chelsea wins Fulham on February 3, 2023, and acquires more points as well.

From Liverpool's performance in the FA Cup against Wolves, it was really great, and if they can do it again, they are probably going to step up further on the Premier League table. @SatoPrince, prepare to see Liverpool up on their feet again on the 4th of next month.

It's more if a "let me just shot this way and maybe the post might be that direction and hopefully the goalkeeper would be caught off-gaurd". I clearly don't see what they are doing nor do I see anyone that could make them better.

I don't blame the Managers for trusting this guys to lead the Chelsea attack, it isn't like they haven't done it successfully before. Just two seasons back this guys lead Chelsea into winning about 3 trophies and the champions league was included. I just think they aren't be used right and they're now playing with a different face then when they had Timo Werner at the sterling position. And back the Timo Werner does all the off ball runs to draw players towards him while giving this guys the opportunity to score goals.

With Mudryk or Felix replacing sterling, I think this guys will pick back their form. Also our coach has to realized that havertz doesn't suit the main striker role. He has to be playing behind a number 9 for his full potential to be reviewed. I still don't understand why Graham Potter doesn't play a typical striker upfront like Aubameyang or Fofana then Havertz and Mount behind this strikers.
