Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Odusko]

How can you think that when this same Arsenal team were in a comfortable position last season to finish in the top 4 position to secure them a slot at champions league football while having few outstanding games but they threw that chance away. Arsenal has also lead the table for other seasons and still not lift the trophy. Arsenal doesn't have a squad depth of a team wanting to win the premier league and the players they settle for are Chelsea rejects. Who signs a player like jorginho if he want to attack when all he does is slow down the pace of games?

Since arsenal signed in Jorginho that was when arsenal started poor results in their game, it is so sad for Arsenal to miss this opportunity.  I think arsenal was ahead of Manchester City by about a difference of 8 points.  At this point, I'm not very sure if arsenal get back to the first position or if Manchester City to lose the first position.

 It is a terrible situation for arsenal to make their dream of winning the Premier League to come through. Even if they can't get back to the first position it will be better for them to maintain the top position, because it will be too worse for them to fall beyond this after an impressive performance for the season.

one player can not make a difference for a whole club if the team members don't a contribution to making that happen, I believe more that Arsenal was not prepared for the position and topping the league table for all the while was not a sustainable position for Arsenal and that is why they have been pushed down.
Arsenal has been booked to lose the position since last week back but chances kept them and Manchester City failed in multiple attempts before finally beating Asernal with a 3:1 goal in the last night's games.
This is a victory for Manchester city the luck was delayed but it came finally and I am sure manchester city will end the season remaining on the top of the league table.

Just two weeks ago it seemed that it would be difficult for any team to catch up with Arsenal, but today Manchester City is at the top of the table. Yes, the Gunners have one more match to play, but the crisis of form seems to be a fact. 1 point in the last 3 matches is a terrible result. However, it was to be expected that sooner or later this young team would suffer a breakdown in form. It was very unfortunate that it happened at the time of the match against the main rival for the Premier League title. Of course, all is not lost yet, but Mikel Arteta and the coaching staff must react quickly to get Arsenal back on winning track.

[White pawn]

Unbelievable to see the Gunners go down so easy against Manchester City, I couldn't get my eyes off the TV screen when the game came to an end, I mean what really happened to this Arsenal side that have been doing quite well to prove so many football lovers wrong? To be frank with you I never believe that the gunners would drop down the table at this point in time, they're almost there for crying out loud.

I wouldn’t exactly say it was unbelievable to see Arsenal go down against Manchester City. I could believe it as I had believed Manchester City to win and win they did. Arsenal played well but didn’t utilize their chances properly in the second half of the game. While Manchester City had come into the game determined to win.
The second half of the game proved to be unsettling for Arsenal as Manchester City added two more goals to solidify their win.
I think that now that Arsenal is no longer at the first place at the league table, they might just start losing games and slide further down the table.

Actually, in this case, it's a bit unfortunate when they lost with possession of the ball and had more opportunities.
But indeed things like this are what most people have predicted, because regardless of anything they really need points after a few games that don't go well but against Manchester City it was fifty-fifty actually and they failed to maximize the finishing and the defense was a little shaky when facing counterattacks that make them have to be willing to lose points again.

At the moment their position has shifted because Manchester City is superior in terms of goals which puts them in first place but Arsenal's chances are still big because they have 1 game remaining.

[el kaka22]

City just played too consistently and pressured Arsenal all game. Arsenal expected that after that first half, City players would be too tired to keep playing the way they did, because even if you rest on the break, you should be tired by 70th minute the way City played, it was a high tempo game and Arsenal went with it and played a high tempo game and kept it close as much as they can.

After a while Arsenal players got tired and City showed that they tire the other team by passing well, and not just keeping the ball, hence why Arsenal had more possession, City just tires other teams out and plays smart and that's why they end up beating everyone.

[bounceback]

Manchester city victory is not a surprised to me, because I knew Arsenal will not stop them in this match not to take over the first position in the premier league table. I think, this a sign that Manchester city coach has introduced some skills on his players to be in a solid ground to make it happen again by winning the premier league title this season which they are in that direction. Manchester city were able to achieved the first goal at 24th minutes to prepare the mind of their fans that victory will definitely come to them, which they made it happened at 82th minutes with the help of their potential striker Haaland who scored the third goal.

Of course the Manchester City coach has a special strategy to beat Arsenal, after all before Manchester City could get rid of Arsenal in the FA Cup with a thin score, there I saw Arsenal not really being able to beat Manchester City, I would also not be surprised if Manchester could beat Arsenal, after all they deserved at the top of the standings than Arsenal 

Arsenal's defeat against Manchester City is certainly no longer a surprise for us because in the last 13 matches Arsenal have never won against Manchester City, we have to admit that Arsenal played superior in the first half and even they had several opportunities but unfortunately they were not utilized to the fullest, in the match Mancheater City really deserved to win because the quality of the players was better than the quality of Arsenal's players so I don't blame the defeat that the Arsenal team got because of Arteta but that was purely due to the inferior quality and mentality of Arsenal's players.

[KTChampions]

The last games have seen Arsenal going from bad to worse regarding their results and this lost game will have a huge psychological impact in their players and as such it is critical that Arsenal starts to get their form back again starting directly from their weekend game,if they can win it and the game that they have less then there is no reason for them to worry,the psychological pressure will be on Manchester City side this time.

Manchester City came to this game clear in their intentions and played open football knowing that it was life and death game for them and they managed to win it,now the Premier League is super open.

A sad result for Arsenal but with a game in hand at the moment they haven't lost the lead yet. Arsenal have a long streak of easy opponents ahead and if they are effective in beating outsiders then City can get really nervous, after all, the fewer games to go, the more important these 3 points of advantage will be.

One of the strongest teams currently in the Premier League are Manchester City and Arsenal, and it seems that Manchester City can still be said to be more prepared to do this match than Arsenal. Despite playing at home, the fact is that Arsenal have not been able to keep up with Manchester City's game and sharpness in attack. I'm not trying to say that Arsenal played badly, but indeed Manchester City were able to cover the strategy implemented by Arteta.

[Coyster]

Manchester City are back on the top of the EPL on goal difference, though Arsenal have a game in hand, Arsenal shouldn't lose their focus, the league has been thrown wide open but their destiny is still in their own hands, and if they can get a couple wins after these disappointing results of losing to Everton, drawing to Brentford, and losing to City (thus out of a possible 9 points they have picked up only 1 point), then they can get right back on track.

Having said that, i think the league is now more of a three horse race between Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, they are all pretty close to each other in terms of points accrued, whilst City and the Gunners both have 51 points each, United are just 5 points behind, thus everything is still very open and nobody knows who'll win the league at this stage.

The chelsea virus has recently infected Arsenal as a result of the purchase of jorginho, but you can't argue that they haven't tried hard enough. They lack squad depth, and I've predicted that sooner or later certain players would get injured and that will cause them problems. Thomas Partey is a crucial player for the team, so the team should have signed a backup player with abilities that can almost match his. Jorginho is not up to the task. To be a title contender, Arsenal needs to start acquiring players of great caliber. Arsenal's return to the top spot will be challenging right now because they haven't been able to earn all possible points in their most recent games and thats a bad sign.

[Alanaz]

Manchester City managed to coup position from Arsenal after being able to beat them in the postponed match with a score of 1-3. With that result they have the same points as Arsenal, which is 51 points and only have a 1 game advantage that Arsenal still have. Even so, Arsenal's position is still very threatened now, even though with the scenario Arsenal can win in the remaining 1 game. Because now there is almost no gap from the position of these two teams.

It seemed that Arsenal would continue their negative trend in the league, after losing to Everton, they should have been able to get their win against Brentford, but they couldn't make the most of the opportunities they had. And after losing again to Manchester City, their task will be even tougher and the team's motivation to win the EPL title will decrease. I really hope we have another winner for each season in the EPL, so, hopefully Arsenal can maximize their 1 match difference from Manchester City.

Having said that, i think the league is now more of a three horse race between Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, they are all pretty close to each other in terms of points accrued, whilst City and the Gunners both have 51 points each, United are just 5 points behind, thus everything is still very open and nobody knows who'll win the league at this stage.

Yes you're right. All possibilities can still happen considering there are still quite a lot of matches remaining in the EPL. We don't know whether Manchester United, which isn't considered, will become the leader of the standings.

though Arsenal have a game in hand, Arsenal shouldn't lose their focus, the league has been thrown wide open but their destiny is still in their own hands, and if they can get a couple wins after these disappointing results of losing to Everton, drawing to Brentford, and losing to City (thus out of a possible 9 points they have picked up only 1 point), then they can get right back on track.

Since they have only gotten 1 point in the last 3 matches, their players need to improve their performance. Yesterday's score is just something so usual in the EPL. Arsenal has really tried a lot to top the league in about seven months, and I guess that they may still be able to win the league if they can stay focused and get good strikers and defense. I wish them luck in their next matches.

Manchester City managed to coup position from Arsenal after being able to beat them in the postponed match with a score of 1-3. With that result they have the same points as Arsenal, which is 51 points and only have a 1 game advantage that Arsenal still have. Even so, Arsenal's position is still very threatened now, even though with the scenario Arsenal can win in the remaining 1 game. Because now there is almost no gap from the position of these two teams.

I think it's difficult for Arsenal to win the EPL, Man. City and Guardiola are still proving that they are the real champions. Of course we all hope that there will be a new champion this season, hoping that Arsenal can end their period after last winning the EPL in the Henry era. 2x losing 1x this draw can affect the confidence of Arsenal players. Arteta must be able to bring it back, if they can manage their mentality, I believe they are able to get 3 points in 1 match which is become Arsenal opportunity to return to the top of the standings.

Even though Arsenal had to accept defeat to Manchester City they still have 1 match left against Aston Villa so this will be an open opportunity for Arteta to improve his players, especially improving their mentality when under pressure from opponents. The reason is, most important point from their match with Manchester City is that Arsenal's young players are still being provoked by the opponent's pressure. So they often seek revenge rather than take advantage of the opponent's situation. 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League without a win became a burden in itself when at the beginning of the season they were used to stepping on the gas with continuous wins but mid-season became a little far from expectations.

For Arsenal, be careful and alert because slipping from above hurts a lot.

Arsenal still have a chance to reclaim the top of the standings from Manchester City and Arsenal still have 1 game left, and Mikel Arteta must get up and fix Arsenal's weaknesses. The reason is, in the last three matches, Arsenal were only able to win one point. After losing 0-1 to Everton, then being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford, and recently they were humiliated by Manchester City 1-3 at home.
and I am still optimistic that Arsenal can return to the top of the table and return to their best form before their last 3 matches which were not good.

[Bobrox]

Arsenal dropped to 2nd standing position in English Primer League after losing from Manchester City but still possibility back to 1st because have one match left, I didn't surprised with Arsenal failure keep exist in the top standing because last several season they always have bad habit when league almost ended hasn't winning mentality and finally finish on the top fourth standing position seems realistic for Arsenal.

But interested with Arsenal match schedule in Primer League until six games later face with mediocre team and has seems easy for Arsenal get three points, have second chance for Arsenal back to the top standing position if can consistency and recovery after losing points last two matches.

[skarais]

At the moment their position has shifted because Manchester City is superior in terms of goals which puts them in first place but Arsenal's chances are still big because they have 1 game remaining.

Both teams performed well in that match, but several mistakes made one of them have to accept the defeat.
Of course Arsenal will have to pay dearly for losing to their closest competitor this season. Unmitigated, lost 1-3 to Manchester City due to their own mistakes and carelessness during the match.

I had expected that Manchester City would keep up their good record against Arsenal under Pep Guardiola, and sure enough Pep and his boys did win that match even though they failed to have high percentage of possession. Now I don't think it's time to rest on our laurels, I mean it is still possible for Arsenal to reclaim the top of the table having one match in hand. But after being 8 points behind Arsenal, I think Manchester City really deserves to celebrate this victory.

Arsenal has a better position, as the club has 1 game to spare. Manchester City needs to constantly bounce back from the result of the Gunners. It is psychologically harder. If City can withstand such pressure, they are quite capable of becoming the leader of the Premier League. Also, the Citizens became the leader of the EPL because of their best stats, this will give them strength against Arsenal.

I don't think it's about surprises or not, but competition this season can be expected to be tight because Arsenal have really shown good performance since the start of the season. But in the end Arsenal were unable to do much after Manchester City proved who they were with a 1-3 win. De Bruyne, Grealish, Haaland really enjoyed the match and they had a great night at the Emirates.

Because of that result, Manchester City managed to acquire the top of the standings after Arsenal had it since the start of this season. Now Manchester City have another chance to lead the table although it is always possible to get Arsenal to take it back. Arsenal have been under pressure since they failed to maintain consistency in the last few matches, and they must bear the consequences.
