Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

It seems Manchester City had let down their guard and allowed Bournemouth penetrate into their box and score a goal. The goal being scored by a very good and strong strike. That would console them after having a somewhat difficult and humiliating game in front of their home fans.

The game being at the 89th is over at this point. I had thought De Bruyne would be brought in to play during the second half but I guess Pep thought he wasn’t needed in this game. He definitely wasn’t needed as Manchester City has crushed Bournemouth and cruised to victory all without him.

Manchester City victory makes competition interesting again. In this match, the game from Manchester City was quite impressive because they were able to perform well from the early minutes, Pep Guardiola team immediately played aggressively to score early and that was done quite well by Alvarez et al. The balance of the two teams is very different in this game where Manchester City is able to do quite well because you can see that ball play only occurs in the opponent's defense area.

Arsenal also had good luck away, where Arsenal were able to win the game against Leicester City with a narrow score of 0-1.

crystal palace vs liverpoll. in this match liverpoll tries to get up after a painful defeat to real madrid in the champions league. The match has been running for 23 minutes, it can be seen that Liverpool are able to control possession of the ball but there have been no accurate shots so far.

Everton are still trying to find a way out of the nightmare they are having this season. I hoped to see them beating Aston Villa home but the opposite happened. Actually Everton found quite important chances before Aston Villa scored the first goal. There was a great header by Onana which was saved in the same way by Martinez. There was another incident which Mings prevented the ball from getting past the goal line. After wasting important chances like these Aston Villa punished them hard.

Everton's defensive weaknesses still exist. For example Buendia was so comfortable about getting past two defenders and scoring the goal.

But at least there has been some improvement by winning, even though until now it can be said that Dyche is still having a lot of difficulties in making improvements in terms of consistency.
Right now the conditions are still a bit difficult for them but that doesn't mean they don't have a chance. At least the chance to get out of the relegation zone is still there with the current points.

[MinoRaiola]

Not really let down there guard. This was a game where we had Bournemouth playing from a home side and they've got all the support of there home fans, we're highly enthusiastic on some positive result and you find them being humiliated with 3 goals to nothing in the first half and just within the start of the second half, J. Alvarez hits the 4th ball into the goal wtj Manchester City extending there lead by 4 goals. Now, that's got to hurt and they just needed a compensation goal to bring some brightness to there already shaded day and they managed to get it.

Not by any luck as you could see the pressure they mounted on the Manchester City back line and had got the midfield and attackers even in a defensive position, clearing the balls out, E. Haaland contesting for headers and shooting balls wide.
At least Pep got his 3 points and a 3 goal difference so, its a good day for them.

The game was entertaining with 5 goals. Haalands statistics are getting better. 24 games and 27 goals is about one goal every „70“ minutes. He also scored all 4 penalties. There is no one better at the moment. Even Victor Osimhen in Italy, Robert Lewandowski in Spain, Kylian Mbappe in France are no so good. City and Arsenal continue with nice Entertainment in the Premier League, even i would like to see City on first place.

Match between Leicester City and Arsenal FC, the away team made a good impact this match in maintaining their league by defeating the home side 1:9 in a very tight outplay, the visiting team's ball possession was  66:34, with 2 shots on target against the home team in favor of Arsenal, the major thing for Arsenal was the 3points and it was achieved to keep the lead in the English Premiership table.

Yes, that's true. Leicester City tried to win this match by all means, that's why the match was a pinch stringent for the Arsenal team.
I will say arsenal mannaged to scratch out one goal, but after the goal of arsenal, Leicester City played very forcefully to draw the game but it wasn't easy for them.

[bering]

Arsenal were very dominate the match that they can make Leicester unable to get out of the pressure and it proven from match statistics that Leicester only can able to get 1 shot on goal and i am sure Arteta will be glad to see Leandro Trossard performance that this is first time for him to playing as target man because usually he was playing as a winger although he didn't scored goals but he was created the only goal in this match

On the other hand Manchester City has get easy win from Bournemouth that although in this match Bournemouth used 5 defender players to anticipate Manchester City forward lines but it doesn't avoid them to lose with huge scores

I think that win of Southampton over Chelsea was because of Chelsea disastrous performance and not because it was merit of Southampton so that means nothing for Southampton coming to this game.

The test for Potter came again, this time Tottenham being a tough opponent. After losing to Sothampton and Dortmund they had to go to Tottenham Hotspurs stadium to resume their week twenty-five fixtures. Indeed, both teams lost the same UCL game, but this is indeed very different from the UCL. Potter has had amazing players with amazing shopping. This statistic must certainly make Chelsea win. But I don't understand, chelsea are still performing poorly, no major changes have occurred after a very remarkable transfer market for Chelsea.

1:0 You mean to say?
Leicester City vs Arsenal match ended with a goal score and not 1:9 as you mentioned, I know this is a typographical error so just correct it, the match was indeed tough for both clubs before Asernal was lucky to have scored the first goal.

Arsenal has been on a winning wave this season and hasn't defeated Leicester today to add up to their current point on the table this season.

And also Manchester city was able to win with a large goal margin in their match against Bournemouth with a whopping  4 goals to 1.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Trossard could have scored a really amazing goal if it wasn't disallowed due to foul before. But still he made his contribution with an assist later.

In this game, I believe that Arsenal definitely deserved this win. They just couldn't score more goals while they were having a productive day. 1-0 was a quite risky score to hold onto. But this time Leicester weren't having a good day as they had against Tottenham here. This win was really important for Arsenal side to keep their lead in the standings. Not many days later, they are going to have their missing game against Everton in Emirates. Winning this will make them be five points ahead of Manchester City again.

[Furious 7]

The loss of Mitrovic is still one of the problems that Fulham cannot solve properly. Now the minutes are at the crucial time and the score is still a draw. It seems that if you look at the current conditions in the course of the match they can only get one point in this match.
It's a shame actually but they still benefit from this result because it's much better than not getting any points. With this result they are still comfortable in the top 6.

Mitrovic is the main goalscorer of the team and his abscense was crutical in this match. Didnt see that he wasnt gonna play but it was felt in the Fulham team. They just needed one goal and this draw hurts a lot for their champions league race

Even looking at Fulham's own statement they still don't know exactly when Mitrovic will recover from his hamstring which makes this a little complicated for them.
Luckily, in this match they were still able to take 1 point but something like this is definitely not something that can be done every time, of course, because in other matches they may still have difficulty without their main striker.

Arsenal managed to survive 1 point and with this they still secured the advantage in terms of points with Manchester City.
But in this match it was actually a bit monotonous because apart from Arsenal who were still having a lot of trouble finishing in the end they also had a lot of trouble getting on target so the opportunity was wasted.

[KTChampions]

It's not a good situation for Newcastle, but on the other hand they can prepare well for the game against City and play it to the best of their ability. With City in a precarious position after an away draw in the Champions League, two tough games in a row (against Newcastle and Leipzig) could see City fail either there or there.

Newcastle have not been able to gain full points in their last 4 matches, not good news, of course, because with this they will also be increasingly threatened by a club that is now close to them in the standings. Manchester City is not an easy opponent, they are a candidate for the championship this season with their good performances. A difficult task for Newcastle is in front of their eyes at this time, because when they need a win to restore their morality, they also get an opponent who will not be easy to beat, even their chances of losing are greater in this match.

In the first game, too, everyone thought that Newcastle would lose to City, but then there was a 3-3 draw that surprised everyone. Then it became clear that it was not an accident. By the way, now the quotes of bookmakers, in my opinion, are again extremely unfair in relation to Newcastle:

1.45 - 4.75 - 6.00

I think a double chance at Newcastle is an easy choice here.

The game was entertaining with 5 goals. Haalands statistics are getting better. 24 games and 27 goals is about one goal every „70“ minutes. He also scored all 4 penalties.

E. Haaland is surely doing some numbers and no question, his good with his penalties and always approaches it with confidence on like, Robert Lewandowski. You could see his lack of confidence right frm the moment he stepped up to take the shot at the spot even with the Brazilian Rafinha trying to seek the pleasure when Barcelona went up against Manchester United De Gea.

When it comes to who's better, I mean E. Haaland is doing great but, I won't watch to compare him with K. Mbappe of PSG league 1 or V. Osimhen of Napoli Serie A. They are all some talented players and do come through for there teams when most needed.

The premier league might be the most difficult league and that could speak for E. Haaland but, his also playing in a team where they tend to get him the ball. When your in a team where your quality is recognised and sort out for by the players in your team, you would rise and E. Haaland is enjoying much of that at the moment.

K. Mbappe and V. Osimhen, they've got to run for the ball and be the player maker at most times.

Haaland really is an incredible football player and I knew that he would shine in the Premiere League too and he will definitely break all records. Still, I want Arsenal to win the title and not City, the Gunners are fighting and City have been champion many times in the last saisons. It's time for the Gunners to win another title!

Everton's defensive weaknesses still exist. For example Buendia was so comfortable about getting past two defenders and scoring the goal.

So far during this season, Sean Dyche and his team have failed. As we saw in the last few seasons, Everton was never able to race at the top of the table, but they were often among the middle teams, but this season they are not performing well at all. After the loss to Aston Villa, they are very close to the danger zone in the table with 21 points. They are also the same as Bournemouth in terms of points.

5 matches against 2 big clubs and 2 wins and 3 defeats even though it still shows consistency but I think this is a little progress for Everton.
Dyche was even able to win 2 times in 5 different matches with Lampard who was only able to win 3 of the 19 matches that were run.
Now they just need to improve their condition because with the points I think it's not difficult for Dyche to get out of the relegation zone at the moment. Even though his position will not be far from the bottom table, getting out of the relegation zone is already very good for him.

I would say give Sean Dyche time. He might change their form a bit but Everton isn't strong to begin with. They have lost lot of crucial players like Gordon, Richarlison and I think there will be more departures in next window. They need to smartly target players and build a good squad if they want to perform better. There is still time to improve and get themselves out of the relegation zone.

In terms of Goal starts and Goal poaching, yep, you would say Haaland is better, but I don't think he's better than a player like Mbappé overall. I don't know if you have watched Manchester City and PSG matches, but Mbappé is more industrious.

Shutdown supplies to Haaland, he will completely be dead the whole game. This is not the case withe Mbappé, as he does not spend most of the time waiting in the box.

I knew it would be a difficult match for Arsenal to win, even though I knew that Arsenal could not let Leicester City beat them like that even though they were at home, because Arsenal is fighting for the Premier League title and will not want to lose any points, even if it was by mistake. Furthermore, Leicester City suffered a home defeat to Manchester United, making them appear very difficult to beat by Arsenal.

On the other hand Manchester City has get easy win from Bournemouth that although in this match Bournemouth used 5 defender players to anticipate Manchester City forward lines but it doesn't avoid them to lose with huge scores

Manchester City is a big team that no body can predict, they have a good team that are capable of doing many things people didn't expect.
I as an Arsenal fan wanted Manchester City to lose, but they keep appearing very strong and keep winning, I jusy hope they can drop points for Arsenal because I actually wants Arsenal to win the Premier league title this season.

[Bananington]

On the other hand Manchester City has get easy win from Bournemouth that although in this match Bournemouth used 5 defender players to anticipate Manchester City forward lines but it doesn't avoid them to lose with huge scores

If this competition gets to a point that the top two teams are tied with points, Manchester city are making sure that they can win by goal difference if it gets to that. They totally showed their dominance scoring within the first 20 minutes of the game, followed by an extra goal from E. Haaland with an assist from Foden and finally he got his own goal. The strategy that Bournemouth entered the game with was clearly to defend and to counter attack, but that will not work so well for a team that their attack is not deadly. Bournemouth will get relegated if they do not sit up.

That is true, they fighting for the title for 20 years. In 2015/2016 they finished on the second place, that was the surprise year of Jamie Vardy and Leicester City. I think Arsenal maybe like Napoli, if dont Manchester City there at the last games, they had a strong run of 7 wins in their last 10 games. If Arsenal keep playing like this and keep winning, then they win the title, and i agree with you.

[baeva]

Compared to Arsenal's game against Leicester City earlier, Manchester City is having there best time with Bournemouth. I felt they would win even before the game began because, they just needed to, following the Leicester 0:1 Arsenal win, there isn't much choice for them to lose points.
They are already 2 goals ahead and good enough, Erling Haaland is back to scoring. His hot one goal, set up by P. Foden to give him an easy finish and from the way the game has been carrying, he's probably going to have a couple more chance to get a brace in the game. There is time on the click to accommodate that and Pep is sure to give him the palting time he deserves.

It is much more difficult for Arsenal to win a match against Leicester than Manchester City against Bournemouth. Even I think Manchester City will win this match with a high score like 4 or 5 goals because now they have scored 3 goals.

Alvarez, Haaland and Phil Foden each scored and closed the first half with a 0-3 advantage over their opponents. So it's quite possible to get Manchester City to win the match by 4 or 5 goals today following Arsenal's tough win.

Of course Arsenal had to be difficult, because Leicester City is a very uncomfortable opponent, especially at home. But after watching the match there is only one thought - boredom. The match was really very boring, very few dangerous moments, and even the score is minimal: 1-0, what was it all about?

Bournemouth will get relegated if they do not sit up.

I think there is more to the winning point than just the number of goals scorers by clubs during their matches, what makes the point point unit is the number of matches won vs how many goals are scored during the matches.

-coming back to the discussion, of who wins the highest point between Arsenal vs Manchester City, what we should know is that Manchester City is the defending champion and at that there will do everything possible to retain that title.
