Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Davidvictorson]

What an excellent weekend, it is for clubs like Everton and Tottenham as both clubs performed at their best with excellent performance of the season.

Defeating the title holder Manchester city was defeated by Tottenham, and Everton delivered well over Asernal in the weekend this matches result will change the narrative of this round of premiere league season.

It is obvious that the Manchester City camp isn't entirely happy at the moment. We could notice that there was very little interaction between the players—no cheers or encouraging pats. We could even see from Haaland's body language that he wasn't having a good day. Despite this, they are still strong contenders, and it will be easy to go head-to-head against them. And then, congratulations to Kane for setting a new record.

Newcastle getting a draw with west ham was a shocker to me, they were the team at third place solidly for so long and United came from nowhere and took it, that was a shocking result too.

Everyone is talking about how Everton won and yes that was the big result this week and that was a bad one, but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about Newcastle getting a draw is a big shocker too. Some weeks are like this, you do not really know who will do how. In any case, Arsenal didn't lose their positions for losing this game, but Newcastle did, and that is why I believe that it's a much bigger situation and a lot better result in the long run.

It is difficult to understand Manchester City this season. They seem like they don't care about the league as much as last season. They have a stronger squad with Haaland but they are having bigger issues in general.

This was a big chance for them to catch up with Arsenal more but they just turned down this chance easily. They were really bad at defending Tottenham players. Especially Rodri's mistake cost them too much. They still had chances to answer Tottenham's goals. But they wasted all of them. The shot hitting the goal post was indeed the biggest chance for them. This time Manchester City couldn't turn the game around like they did in Etihad. They should have stayed more solid and focused on scoring first.

Why do you think Man City doesn't care about the EPL league?
They care about EPL, but they are not lucky enough. They have a chance to shorten the point gap with Arsenal, unfortunately they must play at Tottenham home. It is always difficult to win at the opponent's home, especially at a big team home. Tottenham is a big team, they also have a big motivation to maintain their position in the top 5. Personally, I am not surprised if Man City is defeated by Tottenham. I was only surprised to see Arsenal got a lose against Everton. It was the match that Arsenal must win, they have no reason to be defeated.

Man City has strong attackers, but their defense looks not strong enough. It is actually the problem of Man City this season. They can dominate the match and create many opportunities, sadly the opponent can steal a goal when they are too focused on attacking. Man City's defense can't keep up with the offensive game of its front players.

I didn't expect Manchester City to lose the match against Tottenham. But Tottenham are really motivated to get their revenge in this match by playing well and being very strong in defence. Manchester City found it difficult to penetrate the tight Tottenham defense, but they had several good chances even though there were no goals.

Of course this is very disappointing because at first Manchester City had mission to win 3 points from Tottenham. So in the end today's Manchester City mission must fail, and they must still have a distance of 5 points from Arsenal who also lost against Everton. What went wrong, of course Manchester City repeated their mistakes like the previous match against Tottenham. But today Manchester City was not as lucky to comeback as they did at Etihad.

The match was unexpected, with many people surprised by how Tottenham beat Manchester City and denied them three points in today's match. After Arsenal's loss to Everton, we all expected Manchester City to perform better in today's match, but that never happened. On the other hand, Arsenal is fortunate to still have a 5 point lead over Manchester City; if they do not improve in their upcoming games and continue to win matches, Manchester City may overtake them in the league title race.

Tottenham team always give man city a hard time i didn't expect them to beat man city but it was a deserved win they managed to score early and they hold on to the score almost all game long, it seems that arsenal team were lucky that man city lost and now everything will be decided when they face each other.

[Mr.right85]

After losing 1:0 to Everton yesterday, Arsenal has maintained their lead in the English premiership table, the result wasn't a good one for arsenal because at this time every point you get as a team in a match matters so I will say that Arsenal was devastated after yesterday  loss to the host team, but the worst of it all is the Manchester city side that failed to utilize that opportunity that was given to them by Arsenal to close the gap to me I will say that despite that arsenal is toping the league table with 5points the league table remains open because there are many fight ahead, the unexpected might happen.

Pep was very furious today as to how the game went. It was way out of his expectation and he reacted on the touchline following fouls on his team and delays from Tottenham players that was fouled. He knew this onoe was out of his control and his plans of bringing KDB as a second half substitute didn't work.
Just a goal difference from the first half. It's another chance that jas slipped past Pep on closing in with Arsenal and he feels it. Statistics had it that, E. Haaland had zero touches with the ball within the Tottenham 18yard box. Yeah, he gets the goals but, his still a minus one when not getting this touches and creating these chances within the box.

Tottenham team always give man city a hard time i didn't expect them to beat man city but it was a deserved win they managed to score early and they hold on to the score almost all game long, it seems that arsenal team were lucky man city lost and now everything will be decided when they face each other.

The match outcome was based on luck on the side of Tottenham because the goal came in a few minutes into the match, and till the even of the game, Manchester City could not equalize the 1-goal difference, this is the luckiest game for Tottenham this season.

[baeva]

It was very strange, I thought they would at least take the game to a draw, but no... They totally dominated the match in terms of ball possession, it was as if they were the only ones who had it, but... Everton's attacks were sharper than Arsenal's, plus numerous errors which prevented them from scoring and here is the result. In general we can say that all is not lost, Arsenal have a game in hand, plus having stumbled once it does not mean that the rest will be the same...

Arsenal should have used the game against Everton as well as possible to get points, but in reality Everton have managed to come back since Dyche came to replace Lampard who was sacked last week. did not expect that Arsenal, who were able to perform well against big teams, could reap defeat when faced with low-ranked teams. With this defeat, Arsenal are still relatively safe at the top of the standings because the point gap with Manchester City is still 5 points.

for everton this win is very valuable for the players as well as for Dyche because it can lift their spirits in the upcoming matches. Everton are still trying hard to get out of the relegation zone, I think if the upcoming match everton can win that game then they can get out of the relegation zone but their next opponent will be liverpool.

Yes, indeed. Manchester City could not beat Tottenham, which in addition received a suspension at the end of the game in his team and had weak statistics throughout the game. Manchester City dominated both attacks and possession of the ball, but... In general, the situation is essentially the same for Arsenal as for Manchester City.

[Velvet78]

I would have never expected Manchester City to be that weak at defending. This was what Tottenham wanted from this game. Kane scored thanks to one of the weaknesses in their defense for example.

Manchester City still could have relied on their attacking performance but there wasn't too much in that as well. I mean the number of absolute goal chances wasn't too high. They missed a big opportunity to close up the gap with Arsenal a little more. I still think Arsenal are the most deserving team when it comes to the league title. Because Manchester City can't make use of the chances.

It is not the first time that Man City is defeated by Tottenham. So, I don't think it is very surprising. Everyone must remember that Tottenham always makes Man City difficult to get points.  

We know that Man City really wants to win this match to overtake Arsenal. But they failed to get points in this important match, so no change in the point gap. I think Man City is too obsessed to get 3 points and loses focus on the match. So, they only made many shot attempts but they have no accuracy in scoring. It is a big lesson, Man City must stay focused on the match.

[harapan]

When Arsenal lost against Everton I had the feeling Man City won't be able to capitalize on that and win Spurs but I just wrote the feeling off. I've always said it that it's going to be a strong battle for Arsenal if they are to win the league. We are at the point in the league where they can't afford to drop anymore point, unless Man City starts dropping point which might not happen.
People think Arsenal's loss to Everton is the beginning of their doom but I highly doubt that. Nobody was expecting them to win every game, they'll definitely drop point and they have. It's also highly unlikely that they'll not drop points again till the end of the season but let's see how it goes.

I don't know what to really say for this game but Manchester City help Arsenal maintain the points by not beating Tottenham Hotspur.
Bad defense maybe Pep Guardiola shouldn't have used the back three of Walker, Akanji and Ake. What's up with the likes of Stones, Diaz and Laporte ?

Haaland wasn't effective, the likes of Kelvin De Brunnie and Gundogan was missed on the pitch, when they came in Tottenham became hard to open up even with the red card. They needed that win badly. They've like lost four games out of five.

Impressed with Everton, I still feel like whoever they come against next week, they getting three points or sharing points with whoever they face.

What a nightmare for Guardiola, is he even good anymore?
He won everything with Messi, and now he not winning with billions spent in the market.

If Arsenal will win the missing game the will be almost unstoppable with an advantage of 8.

I don't think that we have the right to question Guardiola's competence. He is a very good coach and we all know about it. Losing a few match shouldn't bring silly questions, if not Klopp should have been killed then.
Guardiola is good and I believe he will show his ability once again in the coming champions league fixture. Because that is his target

[Ndabagi01]

They have a new coach, so morale will be high, and the players will be ready to give their all to keep their positions. Any player who does not showcase and perform well will be easily replaced by another teammate. So, if Everton players are given the opportunity to play in their next match, they will use every means possible to secure another victory for the team in order to remain chosen and preferred over other players in the team.

That won’t be easily won by Arsenal considering the fierce momentum in the league between the two of them. Guardiola is still good, just that today’s match didn’t really went in favor of him. Winning everything with Messi doesn’t guarantee him same with Manchester City but I haven’t lost hope in him yet.

[Issa56]

I've noticed that many people have expressed astonishment when Manchester City lose to Tottenham, but I don't think it's a big deal because Manchester City is also a club and they can also lose form, and again In order to win matches against other teams, tactics are everything in football. I believe Tottenham used their tactics against Manchester City to win the match today by making their defense so strong because I don't believe Tottenham has a better team than Manchester City. Tottenham truly impressed me today, in my opinion, they didn't want to make the same mistake that happened in the first leg game, which lead to requalizing and later even lost the match.

In the previous game, Manchester City managed to make a comeback when they were 2 goals behind Tottenham, but last night, Manchester City failed to make a comeback and Tottenham managed to defend their 1 goal until the end of the game. I think Guardiola is the best coach, but Tottenham already know how to break Manchester City's attacks.

[TopT3ns]

Manchester City dominated both attacks and possession of the ball, but... In general, the situation is essentially the same for Arsenal as for Manchester City.

Manchester City's match against Tottenham was very exciting but this was a nightmare for Manchester City fans because they had to accept a very painful defeat, only one goal difference and Manchester City were unable to catch up, Erling Haaland could not move freely and had difficulty scoring goals because it is strictly guarded by Tottenham players.

[arallmuus]

If you watch their previous game then you would noticed that most of the time, Manchester City kept their possession and keep on attacking therefore they dont really need to defend at all but shits do happened though and in this case they lost to Spurs despite that this is a good chance for City to get 3 points while Arsenal didnt get any point

That's a silly joke by City players to let Spurs winning them.. That was a serious opportunity to profit from Arsenal defeat and to reduce the gap to 5 points! But no they just totally ruined the opportunity and not only giving Arsenal a golden chance to win EPL but also helping ManU to catch them..
