Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Pulsar77]

I'll say, Manchester City didn't play with there full strength in this fixture, it was kind of a training match for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola from the way I viewed it. Like, Pep Guardiola was trying to understand the Chelsea team and for the loopholes in his team for which Chelsea capitalised on today to better prepare for the UCL finals.

Exactly this, Pep wouldnt play Aguero if this is the CL Final. Manchester City has been winning in The Champions League so far without Aguero so Pep is most likely not going to include Aguero for the Final match. Both Bruyne and Mahrez wasnt even playing in this match despite them both playing exceptionally well in Champions League. . This is pretty much Pep trying to figure out Tuchel's strategy but its still great to win against City

Chelsea won with a close call but it would be hard on the Champions League for sure

Pep Guordiola can't play Aguero in UCL final with the stupid stunt of missed panenka penalty against Chelsea had he score the spotkick  Man City would have probably won match, however when the two sides met in UCL it gonna be a different ball game I am sure Man City won't give room for any complacency pep would surely field a full strength squad knowing what is at stake ie the chance of winning their first European trophy wouldn't let it go down the drain.

If he didn't try such penalty-kick maybe the result could have been much different now. If City did win, then they were going to guarantee winning the title while there were 3 matches remaining. I don't also think that Guardiola will let him be in the starting lineup and maybe even he won't be able to play.

After the result Manchester City got against Chelsea, it could be a chance for Manchester Utd to maintain their chance for the title. They can decrease the gap to 7 points in the best-case scenario now.

Manchester City is just an inch from the tittle and just needed to win at least one of their last 3 games, Pep attention right now is on the champions league final and how to beat Tuchel's tactics.

Liverpool was success take 6th (playoff champions league zone) position after defeat Southampton 2-0. The team has played well, Assists substitute player Firmimio to Thiago Alcantara to make sure expectance of Liverpool to the next champions league competitions. I just wait for the big match versus MU. we know, that game is very interesting around. However, has anyone known when the match schedule? is that fixed for this week?

Liverpool remaining games aren't hard except the one vs ManU which seems to be fixed in Thursday May 13.
Now look to Leicester, 3 games will be played vs ManU, Chelsea and Spurs. A spot for CL might be available soon for West Ham +/- LFC

Yes, Manchester City are still very close to the title as beating Newcastle in the next round may even be enough for them to win the Premier League championship. It depends on the results Manchester Utd will get today and in their missing game. As you said, they will focus more on the Champions League final game now.

If City win against Newcastle in the matches week 36 then they will officially become champions this season, because their points are 83, even though Man United won all the remaining matches the maximum point they have got is only 82.
Their main focus is definitely the EPL to secure the title champion, after that the CL final, because CL final will held after all the remaining EPL matches were played, and they still have 1 week to prepare themselves for CL final.

Manchester city recent drawbacks in form has been solely due to their full concentration on the UEFA champions league final. Yesterday, Guardiola made about nine changes in the team and many could say he rested them for the final. Tuchel on his side made few changes thought but their target is to make the top 4 which they’re almost there. Manchester United result today won’t add nothing to them; as they (Manchester city) need only two points to stay clear.

I agree with you that the losses were due to the CL. It is not easy to compete in two big tournaments at the same time. Every team have difficulty in doing that. We will see in the final game if this will worth for it.

Well well well. Looks like Guardiola really said the truth when he says that he doesn't want to face Chelsea in the final as that will complicate the game for them even more because Real Madrid has a different style that suits City and so far he is right. I think yesterday both Pep and Tomas tested each other in this mini-final of UCL so I'm expecting a similar game in UCL but with VAR being more accurate but both teams will score as he could see even 5 goals in UCL final.

Until then , Brighton seems to produce the surprise and it might win at Wolves.

Liverpool and Tottenham would’ve been doing alot of permutations lately about their chances to make the top 4. Their hope lies now on Westham United. Because Leicester city by fixtures have tougher games at hand and they can’t gain much points against them;Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham. While Westham United have easy games to play and the chances that them(Westham) to lose up on some points is slim. Therefore I don’t see while Westham won’t play in Europe next season.

Chelsea will be a much different opponent than Real Madrid in terms of playing style for sure. So I understand the reason why Guardiola didn't want them in the final game. Yesterday, it was like a practice match before the final. Chelsea threatened them with a nice 2-1 win.

I believe Pep is correct, I feel City would have found Real Madrid easier to beat that Chelsea in the final, though Thomas Tuchel's recent victories over Pep hasn't been with City's complete eleven on display, thus I think the final will be much more different, everyone will start from the go, and they could pose a different sort of threat to Chelsea, one Tuchel will prolly not be able to outsmart, 29th of this month will have it all for us.

Aguero, Sterling, Jesus and Ferran Torres are absolutely not reliable anymore by any stretch of the imagination, yes, they've have all individually had their good times in City, but atm, any game they start, City struggle so much, and I just feel they wouldn't win, none of this players will start in the UCL final I'm sure, so it'll be an absolutely different game, I can't wait for it.

[Lordhermes]

Chelsea succeeded in taking Leicester's place after winning against Manchester City yesterday. Manchester City is still keeping their position as the first on the table despite losing to Chelsea, with a large points gap from Manchester United.
Chelsea have already secured a position in the Champion League next season. They will also have to face Manchester City in the Champion League final on the 29th of this month.
I don't think City can easily beat Chelsea in the CL final, is going to be a tough match for both teams.

Chelsea played very differently to Real Madrid, Chelsea relies on counter-attack by relying on several of its players who have speed accelerated.
Therefore it is very natural that Guardiola does not like Chelsea's style of play, who can take advantage of the empty space behind Man City's
defender who are too forward. After all, Chelsea's victory in my opinion is just luck, because they managed to enter a goal in the last minute
and Aguero missed a penalty. But the defeat of Man City is definitely a valuable lesson for Guardiola, to correct some mistakes made by Man City
players. Although Chelsea managed to beat Man City in the Premier League, but I still believe Man City will win the Champions League trophy.

Manchester city was labeled the "favorite" to win the uefa champions league while Chelsea, the 'underdogs'. But after yesterday’s result and prolific display from Tuchel boys, many football fans now labeled both sides 'Favorites' . As this is the second defeat to Chelsea since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel. The transformation and tactics is what seems to create the difference and I think they can be premier league tittle contender next season.

Man City are definitely favourites to win the CL. They made 9 changes from the PSG game, there was no De Bruyne, Mahrez, Walker, Foden, Gundogan etc. Most of their main XI didn’t start against Chelsea.

Chelsea can definitely compete for the PL title next season but I think City will win the final.

[Avirunes]

Chelsea did outstanding job in second half to make a comeback. Well that's what you get for playing with different formation with 3 on defense line. And that win keeps Chelsea under Tuchel undefeated in away games this season so far. Remeber also Blues under Tuchel have lost only once and that at home. Tuchel is really doing remarkable job..really remarkable.

We have West Ham vs Everton today and Hammers would be looking to not get away with the gap with them and Chelsea. They are not far out from the CL position, just need to hang on with the gap and hope for Chelsea to drop points in remaining fixtures.

[oHnK]

Man United's match today was tough at the start of the match.  Will they be able to balance these points in the next minute.  In terms of ball possession, Man United is indeed better than Aston Villa but that doesn't mean that luck is always on their side.  Traore's shot put Aston ahead of Man United.  If Man United can't win this match, the points are so behind Man City.

[leea-1334]

Sorry about that, Spurs. But this is almost precisely why I stayed away from this game bettingwise. Of course would ordinarily back Leeds but Spurs are so far down bookie lines now that the odds weren't even attractive enough ha!

Spurs are a big scam when you think of depending on them in anyway! You might look at them and see an elite team but in the real sense, they are very much a mid tier team now.

lol at "big scam", you aren't totally wrong BTW
Spurs were at some point a very efficient team but they couldn't resist for a long time. Leeds is a good team also and it surprised many stronger teams. I consider Leeds as the best team that was promoted from the 2nd to the first league in all national leagues.

Thanks to my team for giving everyone a big laugh:P

I really have no words for our performance. From one big win to one big bad loss where everybody played like they were headless chickens. And this is against a newly promoted team who have not played in the big leagues for almost decade.

And we are supposed to build a super league in Europe? How funny right guys?

Lol, it's clear that City and United's points will no longer be raced, because United's main focus right now is not to replace City at the top because it's impossible. Anyway, United must win in this match because the next opponent is Leicester who at least United must stay safe in second place until the end of this season.

[ingiltere]

Aston Villa started good but couldn't finish well. They were leading the game at half but ManU made a great comeback and won the game 3-1. People who played 1/2 bets made good money, odds were around 17 to 25 for that bet. I didn't make bets for this game because both teams have no target left. ManU was favorite and their odds were not high enough to take the risk.
