Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[rby]

Liverpool have a nice game ahead to use it for climbing to upper positions in the Premier League. Wolves are one of the weakest teams in this season. Although Liverpool are also not even close to their look in the previous season they should still be able to win this game comfortably. I remember the Nottingham loss as well for example. But they shouldn't repeat point losses against such teams very often.

Wolves are not looking strong. They are lacking in scoring a lot now. Maybe Liverpool have missing players but this is still a winnable game.

On paper Liverpool is stronger than wolves but in real they are both same because both of them are not in their good form. While Wolves form could be attributed to them being average club in England.
Liverpool has a much more problems because they have been confused right from the beginning of the league. Liverpool is a team than can beat Manchester City today and lose to Nottingham tomorrow.

Arsenal are very highly favoured for the win against Everton this week. The odds are 1.40 to 8.50 now.

Everton have finally completed the signing of a new manager after sacking Lampard. Sean Dyche is going to be the one about whom the fans will be hopeful to save the team from relegation. Everton can't have any other goal other than this for the current season at least. If they pull themselves together and move a few places up to reach safety before the end of the season then they can think of what to do later on. Everton aren't a poor team in normal conditions. However their luck against Arsenal is still not much now. While on the road going to the title Arsenal wouldn't make a mistake here.

[Pesona1]

Definitely, man city will want to catch up with Arsenal but I don't see them having a chance in the premier league they should better focus on the champions league than a premier league, or might end up losing the two, I see the strategy Arsenal is using is better for them to put more effort in the premier league than FA cup so what happened between Arsenal and man city will not happen again in the premier league.

I actually see the opposite, the chance for Manchester City to win the Premier League is still much bigger at this time, the two matches (home and away) between Arsenal and Manchester City have not been played yet so if Manchester City can win two wins in these matches of course their chances are even more open to get rid of Arsenal from future champion candidates, the match against tottenham will of course be very exciting but tottenham current performance in my opinion is no better than manchester city so it is possible that 3 points will belong to manchester city.

[Minor Miner]

Arsenal are now focusing on the Premier League after winning 5 points from Manchester City, Arsenal chances are very open to maintain their position until the end of the season. Arteta can rotate when his team has the upper hand against weak teams, he can withdraw the main players to give him more hours of rest and keep his condition fit so that he is better prepared when playing in big matches.

Now there is no other choice, Arsenal must focus on the Premier League and Europa League. Those are two competitions they are still likely to win this season, but I don't expect Arsenal's march to the title to be easy.

Winning the title is not going to be easy for Arsenal. Several teams are fighting for the title in the Europa League. On the other hand, Arsenal is in a good position in the Premier League. They have continued to perform consistently for a long time. However, the performance of their main rival Manchester City in the Premier League is quite good. Arsenal will lose the top spot in the table if the Arsenal team drops points in a series of matches. If Arsenal wants to be champions then Arsenal must perform consistently well. And every match is very important for Arsenal.

One game after the other,the dream and chase of the premier league will be positive and possible for Arsenal to win.
More of the consistency is all they need, I think they have good players as backup for every position, all that need be done is to take and make sure they win every single game and take to little chances they get.
The next game comes away at Everton that shouldn't be too difficult to win, but considering the fact that Everton are almost relegated, they will fight hard for the win.

you are right You have to win every single game if you want to win the title. And every match is very important for them. If they lose a point in a match, they will be relegated.
Arsenal has a strong squad. The most important thing is that their squad is stable. Every player on the team is playing well. So even if a player is out of the team due to injury, Arsenal are not facing too much trouble.
Everton's team is not a tough opponent for Arsenal in the next match. However, Arsenal will face Manchester City in the third week of February. I would say if Arsenal win this match they will win the title for sure.

[skarais]

you are right You have to win every single game if you want to win the title. And every match is very important for them. If they lose a point in a match, they will be relegated.

Because this is about the Premier League, I believe that winning all matches is difficult or even impossible for all the teams that compete.
As far as I can remember in the last 5 seasons (including this one), only Manchester City (17/18 & 18/19) and Liverpool (19/20) have actually managed to win 32 of 38 match in season. Meanwhile, Arsenal have only been able to win 23 matches in the last 9 seasons (16/17), and that is the highest amount they have won.

Arsenal has a strong squad. The most important thing is that their squad is stable. Every player on the team is playing well. So even if a player is out of the team due to injury, Arsenal are not facing too much trouble.

This season they could break new history as they only need another 8 wins to surpass their highest number of wins in the last 9 seasons (including this one). I think the chances are pretty high because Arsenal's form is really stable. But let's see if they can win the title. While they still have 19 matches remaining.

[KTChampions]

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.

I do not understand when Liverpool is actually going to be able to perform better this season. Or even if they will actually be able to do it or not. Because right now it does not feel like Liverpool is going to be able to perform as well as they should have. It will be even hard for Liverpool to get toward the top four. Whatever Liverpool is trying right now does not feel like it is going to work. Actually, it is not working at all.

I hope Liverpool does not fire the coach. You know he has achieved a lot with Liverpool, so he should be given a little more time.

Liverpool are gradually improving their business (I would like to believe it), but the problem is that competitors are also not standing still. When you are already lagging behind your rivals, and significantly, then in order to eventually get around them, you need to not only be better, but be head and shoulders better. I don't see any signs that Liverpool will start playing at a champion pace to get atleast into the top 4, and I don't see any signs that those teams ahead of it will go into crisis.

[Falconer]

we cannot comply with the wish of fans if the strategy was complete to implement. The fans must see what is next, if not good then they must complain to the official. The MU situation is very crucial for a coach to find a new player to replace Ericson, so far Marcel Sabitzer is a good man for that position, If he is well, then no harm to continue to buy it in the next session.

I don't know, I actually still doubt Manchester United this season even though Ten Hag has managed to lift his team's motivation better since the World Cup ended. Ten Hag might be said to be one of the coaches who has had the most influence on United's performance at the moment, I believe that but in the end my doubt about him is how he is able to keep his team's form stable until the end of the season.

So far, Ten Hag has get good support from management, especially regarding the players needed. It will definitely push more quality into his squad depth this season, but I hope he can bring Manchester United a lot better than he is now. I hope he can even though I doubt it.

Everton has been very bad this season and I think Arsenal can win the game against Everton, and for sure Everton will focus on defense in this game and rely on counterattacks against Arsenal because to avoid the relegation zone Everton have to win or draw.
but Everton will face Arsenal who are at the top of the table and any strategy or tactics used by Everton will not work because Arsenal have all good players and have the same quality of players from all fronts. And for the Arsenal vs Manchester City match at home to Arsenal, I don't think a defeat or a draw against Manchester City will not affect Arsenal in getting the title this season.
and I'm sure that in every game until the end of the season Arsenal will continue to win, and if they lose or draw with Manchester City, have you forgotten that Arsenal still have 1 game left and this leaves 3 points if the number of matches for all teams is distributed equally.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Definitely, man city will want to catch up with Arsenal but I don't see them having a chance in the premier league they should better focus on the champions league than a premier league, or might end up losing the two, I see the strategy Arsenal is using is better for them to put more effort in the premier league than FA cup so what happened between Arsenal and man city will not happen again in the premier league.

I somewhat agree with you. But I would say that both Arsenal and Manchester City have equal chances to win the title. Almost every team has played 19/20 matches. The teams will play 19 more matches. There is still a long journey ahead. And it is not easy for any team to maintain good performance consistently for such a long time. And so even if Arsenal is in a good enough position right now, they are likely to drop points. And Manchester City will try their best to go top of the table if Arsenal loses the points.

[Renampun]

Chelsea next match will determine if they are really serious to be mentioned as a big this season or not regarding to their recent club shopping for good players to make the team more effective, Chelsea has always beaten Fulham but that record was broken weeks back when Fulham got the 3points of the match that ended 2:1 in favour of the home team, they two rivals will be battling next in Chelsea home which the fans and bettors expect Chelsea to be victorious in that games considering the fact that most of their fit injured players and new signings will be playing the match, so I also agree to that fact that Chelsea might likely win that encounter.

on matchday 21, Chelsea was held to a draw by Liverpool while fulham lost 1-0 to Tottenham. Even though Chelsea's next opponent is Fulham, they can't just underestimate Fulham. potter was led to be able to win all the matches that chelsea would face, with crazy player transfers, if chelsea still loses then potter must be kicked, chelsea should have stopped in the top 4 until the end of the season.

If Man City wins, it will hurt Spurs' chances to get top 4. If Man City loses, it will help Arsenal's chances of winning the PL. There are no good results for them. So I think this match will be tough, it won't be easy for Man City to win, sometimes Tottenham, Tottenham is a scourge team for Man City.

Tottenham is an unexpected team, especially since the match against man city will take place at Tottenham's home. I see this match will end in a draw, even though on paper the chances of Man City winning are quite large compared to Tottenham.

Chelsea vs Fulham will be a tough match for both clubs, and we should not allow Cheslea recent player signing to mislead us, Chelsea has performed woefully this season and Fulham, on the other hand, has been consistent in their performance and if I must choose the team between the two clubs, then my bet will go for Fulham winning no matter what the odds the bookmaker give to them.
*even though there will be a possible first-half draw, second half Fulham is going to make every possible attempt to score some goals.

[hahay]

If Man City wins, it will hurt Spurs' chances to get top 4. If Man City loses, it will help Arsenal's chances of winning the PL. There are no good results for them. So I think this match will be tough, it won't be easy for Man City to win, sometimes Tottenham, Tottenham is a scourge team for Man City.

Tottenham is an unexpected team, especially since the match against man city will take place at Tottenham's home. I see this match will end in a draw, even though on paper the chances of Man City winning are quite large compared to Tottenham.

So far this season when Tottenham have played at home, in fact Tottenham have not got a draw at home at all. If Manchester City cannot beat Tottenham in this match and the final result is a draw, then it will be Tottenham's first draw for the home game this season.
But apart from that, I personally am pretty sure that Manchester City will be able to beat Tottenham for the second time this season in the Premier League match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Unbelievable come back from Manchester City last night as they went down 2 goals to nil in the first half against Tottenham hotspurs but they still had the courage to rise up in the second half to defeat Tottenham 4-2 full time.

If the win their next game that would mean Arsenal just has  2 point advantage over them and the champions of the English Premier League door is swung open again.

Manchester city still has a winning mentality even though their position is lagging behind arsenal, the comeback they made in the match against tottenham is proof that manchester city still deserves  to be on the path to winning the english league at this time, manchester city game still impressive even though they have to go first conceded 2 goals in the first half and the winning mentality possessed by Haaland and his friends was able to make them get 3 points in that match, managed to get 3 points of course made Arsenal position start to be depressed especially when they had to face Manchester United in the next game, I think even though arsenal is in a positive trend, but it will be difficult for arsenal to beat manchester united especially so far manchester united who has a better head to head than arsenal is also in a positive trend with Ten Hag.

Well, we cannot leave aside the work that Pep Guardiola has done, which is incredible, he is a coach who uses a lot of intelligence and applies it to his players, we cannot forget that one of the best here is Haaland, that is his greatest horse of battle, and if against Tottenham they suffered a great scare, but coming back like that is something great and that makes it clear that what Man City had against Man United was only a setback and that is something that will be fixed, so for That's not much of a problem, in fact the big teams also go through moments like this where they have a losing streak, but in the end they always show their faces, just like CITY does.

The signing of Marcel Sabitzer will actually boost the performance of manchester united especially their midfield, you know as a coach you need to be very strategic when it comes to making decisions if  Ten Hag does not buy players then it will have an effect on the performance of the club, and Donny van de Beek will be replaced by the new signing am not a manchester fan but also happy about the signing.

we cannot comply with the wish of fans if the strategy was complete to implement. The fans must see what is next, if not good then they must complain to the official. The MU situation is very crucial for a coach to find a new player to replace Ericson, so far Marcel Sabitzer is a good man for that position, If he is well, then no harm to continue to buy it in the next session.

Well, from the way I see it, after CR7 left, it's very difficult for them to have a good center-forward, because signing Marcel Sabitzer is like looking for a replacement for Bruno Fernandez, I don't see it well, I wouldn't think about that, because On the one hand they have Bruino and on the right flank they have Antony, that combination alone is excellent, because Antony opens up a lot to the center and can shoot, and of course in my personal connotation I really like the dribble he makes with the ball turning around and Ten Hag obviously doesn't like it, but I think they have to arm themselves with a good striker, also this 2023 Man United have to raise their heads, although for me the problem is fixed if they take out Ten Hag, but it is my very personal opinion.

and here more fresh info:

Manchester United confirm loan signing of Marcel Sabitzer

Manchester United have confirmed the loan signing of midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan until the end of the 2022/23 season.

The Red Devils were forced into the market late in the January transfer window after it was confirmed that Christian Eriksen is likely to miss up to four months of action due to an ankle injury.

As 90min confirmed, the club entered talks with Sabitzer over a potential move to Old Trafford on loan for the remainder of the season on Tuesday, and were able to get the deal through before the 12pm deadline after receiving an extension.

If Man City wins, it will hurt Spurs' chances to get top 4. If Man City loses, it will help Arsenal's chances of winning the PL. There are no good results for them. So I think this match will be tough, it won't be easy for Man City to win, sometimes Tottenham, Tottenham is a scourge team for Man City.

Tottenham is an unexpected team, especially since the match against man city will take place at Tottenham's home. I see this match will end in a draw, even though on paper the chances of Man City winning are quite large compared to Tottenham.

So far this season when Tottenham have played at home, in fact Tottenham have not got a draw at home at all. If Manchester City cannot beat Tottenham in this match and the final result is a draw, then it will be Tottenham's first draw for the home game this season.
But apart from that, I personally am pretty sure that Manchester City will be able to beat Tottenham for the second time this season in the English Premier League.

I see that Tottenham really needs to win, and I think we all see it that way, but we have to be honest, a draw is like winning, and Man City I don't think they'll stop doing things like letting themselves be tied, right now Man City he will go out to win everything, if a team crosses him I think they will pass over him as if they were a big truck, Pep Guardiola will not leave any gap, however a statement he made in response to a question from a journalist and said that if Barcelona needs him, he will not hesitate and leave, because that is his club, you have to see that Pep has very deep roots and does not hesitate when speaking, I think I respect him much more, Even though I'm not a Barcelona fan, I like the loyalty they show.

a curiosity:

Pep Guardiola should fear losing 26 y/o to Barcelona rather than Silva or Gundogan [Opinion]

Barcelona have been linked with a move for Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva as Xavi seeks a long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets, but shouldn’t Pep Guardiola be more worried about losing Rodri to the Catalans?

The 26-year-old joined City on a long-term deal from Atletico Madrid in 2019 and has gone on to make 181 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals with 14 assists.

Rodri is one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, let alone Europe, so Barca would surely prefer him as Busquets’ successor. He’s Spanish too and has played alongside the Barcelona legend on 15 occasions for the national team.

But apart from that, I personally am pretty sure that Manchester City will be able to beat Tottenham for the second time this season in the Premier League match.

They can still do that, it's just that maybe Conte has to stay in his scheme in this match because I still feel that it will be very difficult for Tottenham if they do open play against City, especially if we know what quality City's players are.
Even though their record of playing at home is very good, when you look at City now they will find it difficult and the risk of defeat is still very large.

[naira]

You are right and I agree that with so many choices rest has the potential to stabilize players. Especially Arteta did not want to take any further risks. I'm sure what Arsenal gets knocked out in the FA Cup will be very beneficial in the Premier League and only focus on maintaining the Standings. It's no wonder that clubs like Manchester United and Manchester City will be preoccupied with busy schedules and players with a higher potential for injury. If that does happen at least a plus point for Arsenal to be in full control.

That's why a club must have good squad depth, so they won't find it difficult to rotate players and have a large selection of players. With a busy schedule, of course, this is a problem for clubs who are not ready for the depth of their squad, but for clubs who have good squad depth, they will like this situation, because they are very aware that their opponents must be tired with such a tight match. They would definitely take advantage of their opponent's weakness. If the situation is over and they have no other choice, then giving trust to the existing players is the best choice. Trust, yes that is the key, because sometimes a club doesn't really believe in the players they have.

Currently they have anticipated a shortage of players. For Gabriel, who was a bit doubtful when he had to suffer an injury, now he has been fully entrusted to Nketiah and yesterday for Partey, who was injured, now Jorginho has been brought in from Chelsea to fill that position. I think now Arsenal are still very ready and Arteta is really thinking about all the possibilities that will happen and of course that is very good.
This week they have a pretty easy game against Everton and I think it will be a win for them with the current squad.

[Zilon]

Chelsea next match will determine if they are really serious to be mentioned as a big this season or not regarding to their recent club shopping for good players to make the team more effective, Chelsea has always beaten Fulham but that record was broken weeks back when Fulham got the 3points of the match that ended 2:1 in favour of the home team, they two rivals will be battling next in Chelsea home which the fans and bettors expect Chelsea to be victorious in that games because most of their fit injured players and new signings will be playing the match, so I also agree to that fact that Chelsea might likely win that encounter.

*even though there will be a possible first-half draw, second half Fulham is going to make every possible attempt to score some goals.

Don't forget this new signings for Chelsea will be at their very best in their debut game. Fulham might not see the easy win they got in their first game. And don't forget this game will be played at Stamford bridge where Chelsea will do their best to both dominate and win the match by all cost. Because Potter knows his integrity is at stake

[Issa56]

Tottenham is not a tough opponent for Manchester City because I think Manchester City can get full points even though playing at home to Tottenham, I believe that will happen because Manchester City wants to catch up with Arsenal so they don't want to lose that moment

With they way Manchester city is after the first position, I don't really think Tottenham will be a problem to them, I believe it will be a easy win for Manchester City, I think it will difficult for any club to defeat Manchester city for now, Manchester City will really take all their matches serious, they won't want to lose any point, the more they are fucking up, the more distance Arsenal is giving them which will be kind of difficult for them to meet up with.

The points which Arsenal is using to lead Manchester city currently is still reasonable and any slight mistake from Arsenal they will overtake them, so Manchester city will be kind of serious with all their matches and they will be hoping Arsenal will fuckup.

[Wiwo]

Don't forget this new signings for Chelsea will be at their very best in their debut game. Fulham might not see the easy win they got in their first game. And don't forget this game will be played at Stamford bridge where Chelsea will do their best to both dominate and win the match at all costs. Because Potter knows his integrity is at stake

Let's see if the new signing by Chelsea will put their best foot forward in the match between them and Fulham, because this season has not been favourable for Chelsea and since their crisis began about a year ago, Chelsea has not been able to recover fully to be able to break the good records their created a few seasons ago.
*But at the moment, Chelsea is not in their best form and there is a need for tracking points where the old and new players can be on the same page to be able to coordinate possible future winning that will break the club away from the many defeats they're suffered in the last few games in this season.

Chelsea is favourite to win in this game regardless of the new signing even though Fulham is in front of them in the ranking. Additionally Fulham lost their previous 2 games. Now with the new signing, Chelsea should improve a little in the first week or two until they get used to the team strategies.
EFL Cup semifinal game between ManU and Nottingham is underway. The result is still 0-0 and ManU is controlling the match.

[Zaguru12]

Currently they have anticipated a shortage of players. For Gabriel, who was a bit doubtful when he had to suffer an injury, now he has been fully entrusted to Nketiah and yesterday for Partey, who was injured, now Jorginho has been brought in from Chelsea to fill that position. I think now Arsenal are still very ready and Arteta is really thinking about all the possibilities that will happen and of course that is very good.
This week they have a pretty easy game against Everton and I think it will be a win for them with the current squad.

Nketiah has filled up the boots left by Jesus really well that I see Jesus not coming back into team easily. But the case of Partey is different, Arsenal success lies on a strong and energetic defensive midfield who can bully opponents well. Jorginho doesn’t seem to have that ability to fill in the gap in Partey absence. Jorginho is way too slow and isn’t that physical able to go on some tackles. His side ways and backward passes might slow down Arsenal counter which is their most effective pattern of play this season. Also without Partey, Xhaka’s freedom in the pitch might be limited because he definitely needs to cover the defense more. Partey’s absence will be felt by Arsenal and there performance might even get affected
