Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Razmirraz]

Manchester United have lost two games in a row, they have lost to Brighton and Westham United, and as a result helped Newcastle retain their third place position. This is really a bad time for Manchester United to lose form, at this time they are supposed to be concentrated on winning games to keep them in top four at the end of the season, unfortunately this kind of results cannot guarantee them that top four finish.

Manchester United has lost 8 points in the last four matches, Ten Hag has only been able to give one win, one draw and two defeats. The situation experienced before the season ended was very unfavorable for Manchester United, they failed to rise to third place and their position was increasingly being seriously threatened by Liverpool.
Consistency in the next four matches is needed by Manchester United to keep its position secure in fourth place. Ten Hag must learn from the defeats he received against Brighton and West Ham to achieve his goal of playing in the Champions League next season.

[bering]

De Gea made a blunder and it hurt. The ball was pretty easy actually, but the ball drove over the palm. Actually Man United have the ball but they are very difficult to make goals. Even in the second half West Ham had more chances. West Ham played more effectively. West Ham even frustrated Man United's attackers. Even their midfielders are not free to make passes to attackers. Naturally lost three points of heavy loss. Liverpool are getting closer, maybe they can unseat Man United.

Surprisingly, ten hag still wants de gea to stay at manchester united even longer. So many red devil fans are urging ten hag to replace him. De gea is good, but his blunders shall not get tolerance anymore. His bludner is sometime was making the club lose.
it can't be tolerated. It's better for MU to use him as secondary goal keeper and try to sign world class goal keeper. Liverpool may able to surpass manchester united as soon as possible.

Liverpool is only having small gaps to the manchester united at this moment. It will be so good for MU to get a new goal keeper that will rarely make blunders once it performs with the club.
I support MU to buy a good goal keeper in summer. De gea is suitable for the secondary goal keeper for the club.

We shouldn't be judge De Gea performance in just one match only because i was often to see De Gea can able to performing well in the previous matches and he was made some important saves which is help Manchester United to win the matches but indeed this blunder was happened in the crucial match when Manchester United really required point to avoiding the pursuit of Liverpool and unfortunately Ten Hag so far hasn't many options for goalkeeper position especially after Dean Henderson loaned to Nottingham Forest and i am sure goalkeeper position will be Ten Hag main concern for next season because basically he hasn't satisfied to De Gea performance

Yes, it's a shame, of course, because at the end of the season and even Manchester United have also been eliminated from the Europa League, and so Erik ten Hag should have been able to do better for the results Manchester United got in every match. Because if this bad result cannot be overcome immediately, then of course there is no strong guarantee for Manchester United to finish in the top four.

But about Newcastle, I personally really believe that Newcastle has the ability to be able to compete and stay in the top four until the end of the season. But it's the opposite with Manchester United, because at the beginning of the season I doubted Manchester United but who would have thought that Erik ten Hag could give good results for Manchester United in his first season in the Premier League.

[shinratensei_]

They really wasted an opportunity, when they should have a chance to win. So that at this time their position is still under Newcastle. What's more, they have also failed in the European League, this is really bad for them, even though they have actually made a lot of progress.

MU wasting so many points. The performance becomes even worse from day to another day. I saw that how so many fans being contrary with manchester united's management caused by it's still giving the main spot for de gea to be the main goal keeper in manchester united. MU may not able to get UCL ticket next season if it keeps perform like shit. MU is going back to its shitty performance, like the early season. I don't even know what's wrong with manchester united.

Its defenders and goalkeeps really like to make blunders and helping its opponent to win the game. What awful performances from defenders and goal keeper of manchester united. Manchester united like losing its spirit again to compete in EPL.
Liverpool can take the position anytime. There are enough matches for liverpool to take UCL from manchester united.

Winning the remaining game is a must for manchester united right now. Win or play in europa league again.

Yeah, the pattern of this game turned drastically after the break. Southampton looked more hungry in the second half. Nottingham forest Forest were looking nervous and Southampton played with intent and less fear. Lyanco thumped home a header not long after the restart and that sensed a comeback for them. I think Southampton didn’t have the authority, strength and fight.

Great game from soton vs nottingham forest. 7 goals being made after it was also making so many shots in one game. I do like this game even though southampton has been trying so hard to win against nottingham.

Nottingham is now securing the safe position above everton. Leicester city, Soton and leeds will be relegated soon.
A bit surprised to see that if nottingham can play so well against soton. I think that if it's gonna be another interesting thing for sure.

Three clubs are competing so hard to leave from relegation zone but the problem if these clubs were always facing lose. It will be so bad for jamie vardy to play in championship division. I can't even wait to see him play in the lower division than EPL. LMAO

Honestly I prefer Nottingham Forest to stay in EPL having played well to secure there two successive win in the league and for sticking and keeping faith with their manager Steve Cooper despite some unfavorable result in the league thus it had begin to pay off, however with upcoming matches against Chelsea, Arsenal and Crystal Palace the team had a big task of surviving against relegation probably 4 more points from those matches will keep them safe, while Southampton chances of escaping relegation is very slim with 3 more matches I don't think they stand any chances of securing 9 points to stay up in the league.

Normally, football is a game of two halves. Nottingham took advantage of one of the halves by scoring many goals and they were lucky to have end the first half at 3-1. Nottingham forest entered the game with a higher spirit and hunger to win in the start of the game. Southampton took over the second half to try and equalize. It was too late. The goal margin was high and Nottingham forest understood the game so they had to score again to stabilize their win.

Nottingham Forest needed to win that game to stay above the relegation zone in the table. They took advantage of the match from the start against Southampton, who are already in the relegation zone; it was too late for Southampton to recover and win again. It was an exciting game, and Nottingham Forest came prepared to win, which they did.
Southampton has one more match to secure their relegation fate this season. Nottingham Forest must also win their remaining games in order to return to the Premier League by next season. What a fascinating season, with a lot of team competitiveness for success even as the league is coming to an end.

Nottingham Forest and Everton have done very well, but so far it's not all decided which team will move down the league... Only Southampton can't get above the relegation zone and will definitely go to the Championship... Nottingham, Everton, Leicester and Leeds will be fighting to stay in the EPL... I think we're in for some interesting matches at the bottom of the standings...

Nottingham's next 3 matches are against Chelsea, Arsenal and Crystal Palace. My guess is that Nottingham will lose all three matches. On the other hand, Everton's next match is against City. Even if they lose this match, Everton have chances to pick up points against Wolves and Bournemouth in their next two matches. The Leicester team will play their next three matches against Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham. Leicester are more likely to lose in all three matches.
And so I guess Everton can stay away from the relegation zone. Between Leicester, Nottingham and Leeds United, it is difficult to predict which team will make it out of the relegation zone.

Leicester are more unlucky than the other clubs... I think they will lose to Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham... I guess their chances with Nottingham are about the same... Leicester can beat West Ham as Nottingham can beat Chelsea... Leeds are not easy opponents either... Probably Everton have a better chance of staying in the EPL...

Undoubtedly football is a two half game in which anything may happen. In their most recent matchup with Southampton Nottingham Forest made this point crystal clear. They entered the game clearly intending to win and their will to succeed was apparent right away. They took advantage of this momentum and scored a number of goals in the opening period which ended up being the game's turning point. Even though Southampton made every effort to tie the score in the second half it was too late. Because of their expertise in the game Nottingham Forest was able to secure their victory by adding another goal. Nottingham Forest earned their triumph because they competed fiercely and worked effectively together.

Manchester United have lost two games in a row, they have lost to Brighton and Westham United, and as a result helped Newcastle retain their third place position. This is really a bad time for Manchester United to lose form, at this time they are supposed to be concentrated on winning games to keep them in top four at the end of the season, unfortunately this kind of results cannot guarantee them that top four finish.

Going up and down a team is commonplace, and it can happen to any team. speaking of Manchester United, yes in their two matches they have lost. in those two matches too, I lost my bet on United. but in truth, what happened to United's decline could not be separated from the performance of its players plus some of their tough defenders were absent due to injury. as a result, United had difficulty performing optimally to win their match against Brigthon. plus, IMO, Ten Hag made a wrong tactic and strategy in the match against Brighton. after that, they didn't look so impressive against West Ham which in the end they lost with a score of 1-0.

By the way, now Varane will soon be making a comeback in the MU squad. soon, it is certain that he will defend his team again. at least with Varane recovering, United can get some relief for their defense even though Lisandro Martinez is still suffering from an injury. and, I'm still optimistic that Ten Hag can bring his team back to winning ways. plus, their opponent next week is not a difficult team for them to overthrow. the only opponent that is the toughest in the rest of this match is Chelsea, and even then if Chelsea can come up with a good performance. at least, The Red Devils have a high probability of finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League standings.

[Stable090]

De Gea is the player with the most clean sheets this season https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/clean_sheet but unfortunately he also made several blunders that cost his team and his worst blunder was during the second Europa League match against Sevilla.

We know De Gea is a very good goalkeeper, but I don’t know why he is always making blunders when the clubs really needs him, the goal west Ham scored him was very easy, no one believed that the goal will score but unfortunately De Gea couldn’t save the goal, maybe he wasn’t expecting the shot, or maybe he was blocked, he didn’t see the call coming early. We have to blame De Gea, but the most annoying part is that most people have forgotten all the goals he has saved, I saw the way people have been insulting him on social media, no one is perfect and mistakes will definitely happen.

It was a very bad lose for Manchester United,  it was expected of Manchester United to win west ham to get a complete point that will maintain to be in the top four position, but Manchester United missed it again.  The next match of Manchester United is against wolves and it is expected that Manchester United should be able to win this one, if they eventually miss it again they might likely lose the fourth position to Liverpool. Liverpool targets is succeed in having the fourth position which will qualify them for champions league next season, Liverpool games lately have been becoming impressive.  Manchester United failing to win will make Liverpool get what they want and end the season well after starting the season terribly.

They lost important players in defense, thus affecting the results Manchester United got in previous matches. Losing the two matches made Manchester United lose six points and pave the way for Liverpool to compete for a fourth-place finish. Manchester United has one big game in the Premier League with a total of four matches remaining because they have to face Chelsea and although Chelsea's form this season has been inconsistent Ten Hak should be wary of him.

Erik Ten Hak must try to be more consistent in the remaining four matches, because if he gets results like the previous match then Liverpool will chase him, thus losing the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. The long-term project planned by Erik Ten Hak at Manchester United will also fall apart because it will be difficult for them to recruit quality players in the upcoming transfer market.

Yes, that's the very cruel world when people forgets all the saves he has made and especially those which he had made when United were conceding a lot of goals and their defence line were so frequent in making mistakes game after game. Everyone just jumps on to criticize the player when one makes mistake. What about the other players who also failed to score goals? There were lot of attempts but they missed too. Shouldn't they be to blame as well? It's a team game and I feel everyone is to blame here and not just one.

Can next week matches be an opportunity for Arsenal to take back the lead maybe? First of all I still don't give it much chance but there might be a slight probability maybe. Because Everton are putting up an important fight for not relegating recently. Their win over Brighton by 5-1 away was like the most unexpected result of the week to me. There was clearly a big gap between these teams and Brighton were fighting for a European cup spot also.

After this improved morale maybe they can show some good level of resistance against Manchester City home next time. It is still too difficult for them to stand their ground anyway maybe but who knows. Meanwhile Arsenal are hosting Brighton which got a big hit by Everton last week. This is just the opportunity for Arsenal to get even a more comfortable win to continue fighting for the title.

I personally cannot consider it an easy match and also, the previous match cannot fully promise the same result for the next match. What's more, Manchester City is still in a very on fire form, so even though previously Everton managed to beat Brighton with an incredible score but I can't think Everton will be able to do the same against Manchester City.

Likewise with Brighton, even though in the previous match Brighton lost heavily by a team in the bottom zone, but I still think that Brighton is not a weak team. So, the defeat that Brighton experienced before could be material to improve their quality against Arsenal, so I think Arsenal still won't be easy to beat Brighton, because basically Brighton has had a good performance this season.

[beerlover]

I honestly didn't expect these games to be so high scoring because after this week it was going to be a matter of gaining or losing important points for each team.
Fulham beat relegation candidates Leicester 5-3 at home and we can say that it was an important point loss for Leicester.Fulham took control of the game in the first half and went 3-0 up and Fulham was the team that started the second half fast.After increasing the difference to 4, Fulham gave up control of the game and allowed the opponent to play the ball and conceded 2 more goals.Leicester didn't play badly but we can't say that they played well enough to win.
Everton, the other relegation candidate, scored 5 goals against Brighton.It was very important for them to get 3 points in such an important match and I did not expect such a win from them.Brighton is in great form this year and they have no problem scoring goals.In this match, they played well again but they could not make good use of the positions they found.Everton scored 5 goals in 5 shots, but 1 goal was an own goal by Steeele.

Well, when it comes to last games, teams start to play with all they have, and they end up playing with the last ounce of energy they have left, they leave nothing on the floor and they play as well as they possibly could. This makes it better for them and turns things around for them, which is great obviously but that doesn't mean that results will always be shocking, sometimes the better team wins and there is nothing the underdogs would be able to do.

I hope that we get to keep seeing the favorites win because that's easier to bet and I feel like that's going to be the case for the rest of the season as well. I know that it is not going to be that easy to bet on the games where underdogs win, some people look for that but I am not that type of person and usually end up betting on the favorites instead.

[nara1892]

The discussion about Mane should be over by now because it's been too long even though this has had an impact, but in this case of course I don't think it's too ethical to always be concerned with linking Liverpool's condition which is not going well this time with Mane.

Now they just need to focus on what they have to do for the rest of the season because of course this is much more important, especially since the current momentum is good enough for Liverpool to continue to get 3 points.
Now their difference is 1 point from Manchester United and 3 points from Newcastle, this should be used as a morale booster even though the two teams above them still have one game remaining but of course this cannot dampen their spirits.

U just said Liverpool's condition is going well, I don't see it that way. Liverpool will get better but not this season. The point differences are sure and correct but I still not see Liverpool move beyond their current position.  Reason is that they have just 7 Points ahead of Brighton and Brighton has 3 matches less than them.  Brighton may kick off Tottenham and Liverpool if those extra matches are won. The only good part of Liverpool's story is that their remaining 3 matches aren't tough ones, but the is no assurance in Liverpool moving fu her in the current Epl standing.

It's not the whole thing because I know it's wrong to say they were good overall in reference to the previous season.
Now they don't need to think about things that have happened because their focus only needs to look forward now.
The current conditions are still good for them to maintain their 5th position and be in the Europa League. Even though something like this wasn't really expected at first but there's nothing they can do now apart from trying to take advantage of certain things because being in the top 4 is also not guaranteed so at least they have to be in 5th position for now.

Can next week matches be an opportunity for Arsenal to take back the lead maybe? First of all I still don't give it much chance but there might be a slight probability maybe. Because Everton are putting up an important fight for not relegating recently. Their win over Brighton by 5-1 away was like the most unexpected result of the week to me. There was clearly a big gap between these teams and Brighton were fighting for a European cup spot also.

Yes, it can still be for a while but not for the whole because we of course know Manchester City still have 1 game left and if Arsenal win then City only need to win again against Chelsea in their game.
Chelsea is also currently not a club that can really be relied on so this doesn't really have any impact even if Arsenal win against Everton if in the end City have to win again against Chelsea.

[Lordhermes]

Arsenal will win Eventon regardless of they 5-1 win over brighton on monday night, there is still hope for Arsenal to lift the title, if only they win all their games and wait and expect Manchester city to draw or lose any of their remaining games. which will only take miracle to happen. Manchester city are playing every game has finals. but all hope are not lost, i just pray Arsenal achieve it at the end of the season. Chelsea can't march with Manchester city, city will win chelsea. that is not a problem to Manchester city.

[Falconer]

Leicester are more unlucky than the other clubs... I think they will lose to Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham... I guess their chances with Nottingham are about the same... Leicester can beat West Ham as Nottingham can beat Chelsea... Leeds are not easy opponents either... Probably Everton have a better chance of staying in the EPL...

It is highly unlikely that Leicester will be able to survive in the Premier League next season if they cannot win all of their remaining match. It's impossible to expect much from the other team for the best scenario for them, but the chance are really tough right now. Leicester, Southampton and Leeds may be relegated at the end of the season, but I can pin a little hope on Leicester City staying in the Premier League.

After they recovered so well from this horrible start into the season, they are now weak because of their mental situation. They cannot handle the pressure that out of a sudden is now rising because Liverpool started a winning streak. They were certain that they would be safe into the Champions League, but now I believe that they are still going to lose it. Liverpool will keep up the pressure now. One more loss and it is a real one point game between Manchester and Liverpool competing for 4th rank.

Even though Manchester City is currently in first place, I also hope that Arsenal will improve soon and take over first place in the English league.
I don't hope that Manchester City can win the Premier League, but I hope that Manchester City can win the Champions League.
