Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[kro55]

Maybe I wasn't surprised by Chelsea's draw against West Ham because I didn't fully believe in the performance of coach Graham Potter and his players, this kept Chelsea in 9th place in the standings. Meanwhile, the result that I think is very surprising is that Arsenal again failed to get a win after being held to a draw by Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. This result made Mikel Arteta have to keep working hard in the next match because he again failed to widen the distance from Manchester City in the standings.

Not a bad result for Chelsea. Their performance is already poor. As usual, they performed poorly in this match as well. I'm not sure what kind of match strategy Graham Potter is trying to implement. In the last few matches, I have seen Chelsea giving more importance to ball possession. In a competitive league like the Premier League, is it possible to get better results with less attacking and possession the ball more? I don't think so. Because the gameplay of the Premier League is very fast compared to other leagues. To survive here, you must attack and counterattack. Personally, I think Graham Potter should expect a change in match strategy.

Chelsea's squad didn't have good chemistry. it can be seen from several passes who have been misconnecting between one to the each other. I saw that enzo was always missing the ball as well as mudryk too. EPL seems a big hard for all of players already bought by chelsea to adapt. that's why EPL is the most difficult league in the world. Chelsea is always doing passing but since chilwell was entering the game and the rythm of chelsea is having a small different.
Loftus cheek shall not play in the upcoming match as he is having horrible skill for sure. He is not creative as a midfielder. It must be ben chilwell who must be included in the starting line up against dortmund. RLC was over rated player.

Arsenal missed a great opportunity. If they had won this match, the difference in points would have increased and it would have been easier for them to become champions. They've been in a bad situation, losing points for two weeks. They found a lot of chances and goal attempts in this match, but it was not enough as a result. And they only gained 1 point because they conceded a goal

If Manchester City wins the game they will play, they will reduce the situation to a 3-point difference with 1 game more.  Arsenal have taken huge loss of points from unexpected teams in the last weeks.  After the Everton defeat, this draw turned out to be very bad.  Now they have to recover.  They will have a game against Manchester City and by that time they must regain morale.

[irhact]

Now I can expect Manchester City to take advantage of Arsenal's draw to reduce the difference in points between the two at Aston Villa today. Manchester City lost to Tottenham in the previous match, while today they will be very motivated to make the most of this home match to win 3 points. Meanwhile, Tottenham surprisingly lost 4-1 to Leicester after previously Antonio Conte's troops managed to thwart Manchester City's mission to reduce the gap with Arsenal.

Arsenal have done a very big mistakes by drawing this game against Brentford, they played very well but couldn't get a win and that's going to cost then the title. Manchester city already gave them a grace by drawing their last game but Pep Guardiola won't make same mistakes again. Pep Guardiola never makes the same mistakes twice and it'll be a very big surprise if he throws away a chance of reducing the gap between Manchester city and Arsenal when they play Aston villa.

After the Aston villa game, Manchester city will be playing arsenal next and that's when Pep Guardiola will finally closed the gap and be on the same point with Arsenal. Mikel Arteta isn't ready to win the title yet because if he was ready then he should have showed that by bringing in substitute that can win games in tight periods like yesterday game.

I wonder why people complain so much about Arsenal not winning against Brentford. So far this season no strong opponent team has been able to win Brentford, it is either they lose or they draw.This season, Manchester united, Liverpool, Manchester City , Tottenham  can all testify.
Brentford 4-0 Man united, Brentford 2-2 Tottenham Brentford 3-1 Liverpool, Brentford 0-0 Chelsea , Man City 1-2 Brentford. This record shows that Arsenal played their best, it just wasn't easy for them

Brentford's goal was offside.



https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21355074/arsenal-fans-replay-brentford-arteta-offside-toney-goal/

Arsenal's coach was so angry with the decision that already take by referee. That's why so many gunners were complaining so much about that. There are various theories about preventing arsenal become a winner of EPL this season appearing again.

Brentford was lucky enough but arsenal must also accept it to draw against brentford.

That was an offside infact when you watch the goal leading to Brentford equaliser there was also a clear obstruction of Arsenal Gabriel Magalhaes by Brentford Pinnock, unfortunately VAR decision didn't go the way of Arsenal, similarly VAR controversial decision also affected Chelsea not securing a winning goal against West Ham earlier, Arteta was really frustrated by the VAR decision against his club,the league board should in a matter of urgency look into this VAR anomaly and make necessary adjustment to avoid or prevent future occurrence of some it controversial decisions.

Yes, after winning 1 goal, West Ham also managed to equalize. In the game, it was very clear that Chelsea really dominated the game, but they were not effective so it was very difficult for them to break through the defense built by West Ham. I'm also not surprised by this result, yes that's because they are far from the Chelsea that I used to know. Some of the players who were brought in also did not seem to have a good performance to give Chelsea victory.

I guess that Arsenal had underestimated Brentford because they are preparing for the big match against Manchester City on February 15.
Maybe the gunners are losing momentum after losing points against Everton and Brentford. They will have to win against Man City, if they want to keep their first place and win the Premier League. Losing against City will make the situation worse for Arsenal and the players might not recover from the psychological crisis.
What the hell happened to Tottenham? Humiliating defeat against Leicester. I wasn't expecting a 1-4. Nothing worked for the London team in this match.
At this point I'm sure that Chelsea could lose points against every opponent in the Premier League. 1-1 against West Ham doesn't surprise me at all. 

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

after last week's defeat against Everton, now Arsenal also failed to gain full points against a mid-table team, playing in front of their own supporters Arsenal was unable to take advantage of to gain full points.
There have been many speculations that this is the beginning of Arsenal's downfall this season, of course Arsenal, who are at the top of the standings, are increasingly panicking, their points will be overtaken, especially as we know that the Arsenal team is filled with many young players who don't have a good mentality.

Newcaste United has also experienced the same thing, which has failed to get full points for 3 consecutive matches, this is increasingly threatening their position in the standings, which are currently in the top 4 of the standings.

After getting unsatisfactory results in the previous three matches, Arsenal are now experiencing great pressure to secure the point difference from Manchester City, because in the next match they will face Manchester City at home. The difference is six points remaining at this time, but Manchester City will face Aston Villa first before undergoing a crucial match at the Emirates Stadium.

If Pep Guardiola is able to secure full points against Aston Villa, then he will be three points away from Arsenal, so the opportunity to equalize points with Arsenal will open in his second match at the Emirates Stadium. So far there has been no sign of a slump for Arsenal, despite three unsatisfactory results from their matches, however Arteta will be under pressure in the next game.

They didn't underestimate Brentford, we can see it from the line-up they played against Brentford, those were their main players. The reason why they couldn't get full points in the match against Brentford was because they couldn't take advantage of the dominance they had and convert it into goals.

They will have to win against Man City, if they want to keep their first place and win the Premier League. Losing against City will make the situation worse for Arsenal and the players might not recover from the psychological crisis.

Both teams will be playing hard to get points in this match, but in my opinion Manchester City has a bigger chance to win. BTW, we will see the manager (Pep Guardiola) and former assistant (Mikel Arteta) meet.

You are right Arsenal underestimated Brentford game and as usual, Arteta is not satisfied with this result, for the second time without winning Arsenal is now worried that their position is threatened. It is possible that there will be many surprises in the future.

On the other hand, Man City also needs to be vigilant because Man United will make more aggressive moves this time and don't want to lose a lot of points after their first game with Leeds in a draw. At least sticking points closer to Man City will really become Erik Ten Hag's target little by little.

Leicester City performance silenced Tottenham without a fight. This is very interesting when Kane is completely unable to move after being guarded so tightly. The attack launched by the Leicester City players was effective and easily penetrated the defense that Tottenham had built. From the first half to the end of the second half, Leicester City enjoyed their game.

The reason why they couldn't get full points in the match against Brentford was because they couldn't take advantage of the dominance they had and convert it into goals.

It is true that Arsenal did not underestimate Brentford, but I still see it as a disappointment because I thought Arsenal would win in a way the point margin with Manchester City would increased, but Arsenal fucked up.

Arsenal dominated with almost 70%, had more shots on target. That shows how Brentford keeper is good at the match. I will say Arsenal tried, but it would have been better if they won.

I have started to doubt if Arsenal will take the league because I know Arsenal for one thing in the past, they will be good very well at one point and play very worst at another, but yesterday match has not yet determine that though.

Chelsea is the team that has spent the most money on transfers in recent years, and despite this, these failures are very bad. The patience of the fans has now run out. They rightfully want the team to win. Faith in Potter is shaken when there is no win for spending so much money. Money isn't everything, Chelsea show us that. Normally they should be in the league leadership race right now. However, they are in the ranking that will not even be able to go to the European cups.

Chelsea is caught up in the web of international politics and a lot of things is wrong with the club at the moment and if care is not taken Chelsea will have to go through a long period of recession or possible relegations.
- The involvement sege of the club owner with the invasion in last year have affected the operation of the club and this situation have left a dip caught in Chelsea.
-No matter the amount of money spent in the last transfers window it will not show on the club performance until the management do a total overhaul.

Because the gameplay of the Premier League is very fast compared to other leagues. To survive here, you must attack and counterattack. Personally, I think Graham Potter should expect a change in match strategy.

About the EPL gameplay, Graham Potter should have known about this, but it's just that Chelsea players often lack on points when passing and it seems that Graham Potter has to train even harder for his players to be able to carry out quick attacks on the opponent's goal. Lack of communication is also an obstacle to the flow of the ball into the attack area and it seems that right now Graham Potter just wants to try to adjust which players deserve to fill the starting line up, but he should be very aware that at the moment they are not joking in the competitive league and must immediately solve this problem correctly, and get full points in the match.

Chelsea have not been good since Graham Potter became coach. The 1-1 result at home to West Ham United did not make many people disappointed because those who bet on the match had considered Chelsea's performance so far.
There has been no significant change to Chelsea even though the owner has spent a lot of money from his pocket to get good players.

Maybe that makes the Arsenal vs Brentford match unexpected for the draw. Usually the team coached by Arteta can score above 2 goals but in reality they cannot win at home.
But with the acquisition of a draw Arsenal can make the competition for the Premier League trophy tighter especially if Manchester City can win the match against Aston Villa.

They did not underestimate Brentford
When you talk about formation and tactics they used a formation that helps them to attack and defend at the same time which was hard for Arsenal to break them apart.
Good chance created for Trossad to score from Saka. The inconsistency is getting real, Arsenal will face City for a crucial tie midweek

[rahmad2nd]

Brentford was lucky enough but arsenal must also accept it to draw against brentford.

however, Arsenal has to admit it. they had enough chances but Brentford really did well. Arsenal controlled the match, even made 23 chances. although only one is a goal.
Brentford made a good strategy. despite not getting more chances and being constantly under pressure. they could have reached a goal for the equaliser. somehow Brentford is playing pretty well with the strong teams at the moment.

The final result that was beyond my prediction, The Gunners failed to win to widen the points gap from their competitors. although this match was decorated with VAR controversy. but in fact, Brentford played pretty well. also, discipline. Thomas Frank's troop squad, successfully offset the game from The Gunners. evidently, Arsenal had difficulty dismantling a solid defense from Brentford. even though the Gunners dominated the game, in addition to mastering 69% ball possession, had 23 attempted shots and seven of them were on target, unfortunately only one was a goal.

The failure to secure three points in this match made Arsenal have to fast for victory in the last three matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, next week Arsenal has a pretty tough match. the reason is, City will take advantage of the momentum to squeeze points tight from the Gunners.

But, overall I enjoyed this fight. Arteta only needs to restore the mentality and enthusiasm of his troops to return to winning ways in the match later.

[boltz]

I would say that Arsenal had a decent result yesterday and Brentford is not an easy team to beat right now and they showed us yesterday why they a great team this year that wants to fight for that last european spot.
 
For Arsenal , at least they didn't lost points and they still have a decent advantage over second place with a lot of games to go forward and I'm sure they will get back on track and start another winning streak.

Chelsea...really needs this season to be over so they could arrange everything they got and refresh the club properly because they have a very talented team with Kante being almost back from his injury.

Since it's not clear what kind of sanction will be given by manchester city and it seems like people didn't put their attention to the city. People are still waiting for what kind of sanction will be given by premier league to the city.
Getting relegated to the low tier of english league sounds good to me. Manchester city may be able to decrease the gap once it will be winning against aston villa. Aston villa can't also be underperformed even when it has been sacking its coach before.City's players are under pressure now after so many bad news that came to the club. Guardiola as an incompetent coach was also giving a different statement regarding city in premier league.
That will be affecting the performance from city against aston villa.

Maybe I should agree with what you said about Chelsea.  Chelsea are waiting for this season to end.  I don't think there is a bad season like this season.  In one of the worst seasons, they should have been in the top 6 at worst.  The biggest surprise of this year is their and Liverpool's standings.  Of course, we should not forget Newcastle United, which is in the first place.  The Premier League has given us many surprises this year.
