Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

Today it looks like there will be no EPL matches and there will be more from tomorrow. One of the matches that I think is quite interesting is Crystal Palance against West Ham, we know that these two teams are still in a transitional period to maintain their best performance so far. It's just that both Crystal Palace and West Ham have lost the previous game and this has made the two teams even more eager to fight for victory to get full points.

On the other hand, the distance between West Ham and Crystal Palace is not that far and only 3 points adrift in the standings, of course this will be a separate motivation for West Ham to steal points at home to Crystal Palace. Although Crystal Palace is often known for its quite solid play, I think it will favor West Ham this time and the 1-2 winning score is still good enough for West Ham.

Arsenal have become a big disappointment about their title goal in only a few weeks. They got three draws in the games they could have won normally. The defensive issues caused them big issues. If they won those games and lost points to Manchester City only then it wouldn't have been a big problem for them. But now they are on the brink of losing the lead.

I still hope to see Arsenal winning the rest of their games at least to maintain their championship chance as much as possible. They should definitely be winning against Chelsea up next. But it feels like Manchester City will win their missing games and not lose the lead after taking it back until the end.

For me everything became clear with Arsenal when they failed to beat Southampton away and even almost lost and only miraculously managed to equalise at the end of the match... After that there was no doubt in my mind that they would lose to Man City and lose the lead... Arsenal have games against Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton ahead... I don't think they can cope with those games and Man City will take the lead...

coach Ten Hag should shop more good defenders in summer if he wants to make this Manchester united team to compete for the league title next season , his challenge this season is the defend, once his two best defending choice are injured the team lose and lack confidence in the back. it affected them seriously yesterday, it was pure defending fault. i think they have to keep winning to secure the top three in the laegue table.

While I do support this motion, I think that it would be best for Manchester United not to renew Maguire's contract and instead they should dispose him. The amount of money they have tagged on him is unlikely to attract potential buyers, especially with the mistakes he has made from last season to this season, ohave reduced his value and worth.

The real problem with Manchester United's performance in yesterday's match against Tottenham was that, despite scoring early, they failed to capitalize on their chances after their earlier goals, Tottenham got their chances and Manchester United defenders were unable to match Tottenham's power, and Tottenham's revengeful attack and defense proved effective for them.

There are many things that must be evaluated by Erik Ten Hag to make Manchester United able to compete on the top of the Premier League standings and other tournaments. Apart from the poor quality of his players, Ten Hag also had to self-reflect because some of his decisions actually hurt the team.

In the match against Tottenham, Ten Hag should have had to bring home full points, because a 2-0 lead allowed them to control the game. However, his carelessness and untimely rotation of players caused everything to fall apart. This is not the only time this has happened, in the previous few matches he also often made unnecessary mistakes, even being eliminated in the Europa League was also a factor.

Southampton isn't a small team per say even though Arsenal were meant to win that match to secure three points before their game against Manchester City which ended with horrible concedes from the Gunners side. city now has a clear view of the title trophy in clear view as it stands. If City wins their outstanding matches they should be 4 points ahead of Arsenal and Arsenal has only five points to win the trophy and it will depend if City can lose anything below

Arsenal lost focus in the title race by not taking their important previous four matches serious. They should have known that Man city will win them and should have won one of those three matches before playing with city. Maybe they should have won Southampton or Liverpool. All their good effort in the beginning of the league has been useless since they won't be able to win the league. Man city that was unnoticed and wasn't given much attention, has become the club of the day because they will take the lead from Arsenal and win the trophy.

[püsür]

I think Arsenal played a game far from their identity today. They did not have possession of the ball throughout the match and could not gain dominance of the game. Arteta wanted to intervene tactically in the second half of the match. But he couldn't change Arsenal's bad looks on the pitch. On the other hand, Manchester City dominated the game with Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland. They got many goal chances. Manchester City have scored only 4 goals today. But they could have scored more goals. Liverpool lost the title in the league's last games last season. Arsenal are experiencing the same fate this season.

Arsenal is not a formidable opponent for Manchester City, it can be seen from the game that they are very overwhelmed in finding the form of play that they have shown in the previous matches. This defeat is also a bad record for Arsenal this season because they will quickly be very threatened in the match next week. Yes, there is a possibility that Arsenal will fare like Liverpool in the last season.

Arteta has not been able to give the best when his team met Manchester City because they had difficulty beating Manchester City. for manchester city they have three hopes to win the trophy this season. they are really a strong team this season. Haaland presence has changed everything for Manchester City, he is really an alien after the Ronaldo and Messi era.

I agree that Arsenal was overwhelmed. City welcomed Arsenal with their recent 4-2-4 formation; Haaland took control of the midfielder Partey, while Bruyne held up against passes to the left centre-back Magalhaes. Thomas partey found the solution by coming to the right of the right defender Holding because Grealish was following the prominent right-back white and pulling back. However, the ball could not move forward again. Ödegaard descended into the void from Partey and was under the control of İlkay, while xhaka was descending under Rodri's control. Overall, we can surely say that City proved their quality but Arsenal could have done better in whole season overall, especially last 4 games.

The Man Utd match with Tottenham Hotspur proved that the snubbing of Erik Ten Hag by Spurs wasn't to be regretted any time soon. The first half winning was a perfect time to seal the victory but being that Ten Hag have proven overtime that he can't withhold the winning spot. This further shows that the Spurs management can hold their chest to say that having snubbed him earlier from handling it's manager rank due to his lack of charisma have been proven in last night's match where he had a clear path to victory but ruined it by making a few tactless substitutions which caused Man Utd's defeat.

Southampton is the team that has lost the most of the other teams they have lost 21x so far so in my opinion Southampton is a weak team and you can say a small team, but when the game against Arsenal was surprising because Southampton was able to lead first but in the end Arsenal were able to reply to these goals which ended in a draw.

Arsenal's position depends on Man City's matches, they have fewer matches than Arsenal, which has more for 33 matches, remember that every match there is always something that changes, anything can happen, but statistically, of course Man City will win trophies more easily.

Yes, there were indeed several gaps in Manchester United's defense in that match. But that happened because the intensity of the attacks from Tottenham in the second half really increased and also so fast. So that Manchester United defenders are a little overwhelmed in making a solid defense. But in this match both teams played very well. both even had shots that came close to goals. but both still hit the crossbar.

Previously Arsenal performed well and always had a win in every game but in the last 3 matches before against City they did not get a win and against Manchester City Arsenal's defeat was added when they could only score 1 goal while Manchester City toppled them with 4 goals.
I'm not sure Arsenal will be able to have a title this season because the end of the match that Arsenal lived could not give satisfactory results.
In the next game Arsenal will face Chelsea and this time it might be Arsenal's chance to win again plus Chelsea is in a bad team condition.

Since the start of the season, Arsenal has played with so much determination and hunger to win the English Premier League title that's eluded since 9 years ago but how they've lost focus and that winning mentality in the last four matches has remain a mystery to many especially the club fans.
In the past 9 years of not winning the English Premier League title, they've never come this close which will make it a very bad experience for the fans of the club not to finally see their club lift the EPL trophy after such an exciting season. I think the battle is almost over already because there's nothing stopping Pep Guardiola's Manchester City from winning the league this season.

I agree with you, it feels like without the presence of Varane, Lisandro and even Garnacho Man United don't have weapons that can control the situation, moreover the defense looks very fragile without coordination. hopefully next season management buys more players that ETH needs. On the other hand, ETH is also now frequently making blunders in substitutions and making decisions too quickly to change players, even though the players they replaced were good and controlled the game, but after being replaced, Man United's game was ruined.

In that match I remember the game against Sevilla at Old Trafford when MU was 2 goals ahead, Anthony got a chance but unfortunately his curling shot hit the post, and the result was a 2-2 comeback. This happened again in the match vs Spurs this time, Bruno had the opportunity to score a gap with Spurs, but instead hit the crossbar, as a result he also got a comeback.

The problem is if we have not faced the last match. That meant if ten hag had no choice other than using the available defenders right now. As you can see that if manchester united has limited defenders at this moment. Ten hag was also feeling confuse to pick the defenders.
Eriksen was just recovering from his injury. That's the main reason why ten hag was not able to give him full time play during the match against totenham. I knew if the match against totenham was really important, but ten hag had no choice.
Eriksen needs to be replaced to make sure if he will able to perform even better.

Ten hag must have learned from some mistake that has been match duiring the match against totenham.
I think that ten hag knew the consequence by giving some bad players time to play. The result from the second half was very bad for manchester united.
Manchester united was leading the first half. I think that if MU kept use same formation like first half without any substitution and MU will able to win.

Man City will only have tough matches in the Champions League... In the EPL, they won't have any serious opponents... Fulham, West Ham, Leeds, Everton should be no problem for Man City... They last lost in January and are now winning almost every EPL match... I'm sure Arsenal will make mistakes again...

I think MU really needs great players guarding their back line because MU's defense very easily creates gaps that opponents can take advantage of, but even so playing as the host, of course Tottenham doesn't want to be humiliated for the second time after being beaten by Newcastle last week with a landslide score of 6 - 1 , Tottenham managed to make a comeback in the second half which had been trailing 0 - 2 , Tottenham finally managed to draw the score 2 - 2 , Manchester United actually appeared to dominate. They had a little more shots on target, namely eight times.

The results of the match made the competition hotter for the two teams to finish in the top four of the Premier League standings. MU is currently in fourth place with 60 points from 31 matches, Tottenham Hotspur is below him with 54 points from 33 matches. Obviously MU must think about their defense.

Sometimes I don’t really blame Ten Hag with the substitutions. Manchester United were winning and had the game well under control. they have lots of games and also premier league they have all to play for. So him resting the big players is logical and understandable. He expected the subs to just to manage the game. But they failed him, they couldn’t. His subs totally changed the dynamics of the game.

Their defensive line is strong only that happens when Varane and Martinez are in it but when they are injured this is obviously a big problem for Manchester United.
For next season, they really need to overhaul their defensive line in this regard in order to make their conditions much better because if things like this are maintained then it will indeed be the same in terms of results in the end.

Erik Ten Hag was having a beautiful season before their elimination from the UEFA Europa League competition. They've been a shadow of the Manchester United side that claimed the Caraboa Cup few months ago.
Injury for a fact played a major part in the diminishing of the teams performance but I think Manchester United could have done better. They look set to finish the season in the top four of the league table but they can as well win more matches to round the season

Unknowingly, this is actually a loss that Erik ten Hag has to pay. Moreover, even though he was already in the lead, he shouldn't have been too hasty in bringing in a substitute starting in the 61st minute. Erik ten Hag should have been more patient before losing control of his game and in fact this change resulted in a lack of stability in either the midfield or the back line. This is an important lesson for any coach when he is superior he should be able to maintain the existing stability first and there is no need to rush to make changes in strategy.

If you are watching the full game and the defensive line of MU was strong enough during the first half. Everything changes once malacie was entering the game and eriksen leave from the field. The defensive line of MU becomes very inconsistent and that's why totenham was able making two goals to force the result to be draw. Ten hag must marked it as his mistake. He shall not use injured players as his excuses. MU needs to buy so many good defenders and sold the useless defenders.
These defenders are useless for the team

Malacia
Meguire
Bissake
Dalot
Tominay

Those guys must be sold by MU to the another club. The money raised from them can be used to signed some good defenders to make sure if MU will not have same problem again in upcoming season.
Ten hag sees the current problem as serious problem that will be so hard to be solved.
