Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oshosondy]

Chelsea already playing good so it can qualify for Champions League, I hope this match is already won by Chelsea as only few minutes extra time remains.

I thought Manchester City go going to win against Brighton. But it seems, losing a man 10 minutes into the game, weakened them. And also Brighton was not ready to lose today's match.

Manchester City can win such game, but no more much effort because they have already won this season EPL League, this can make a club not to play like it ought to, this is the reason I can not take Man City to win any EPL game for now.

With the goal scored by Kelechi Iheanacho (who has been phenomenal in recent times by the way) Manchester city's stopper Ederson Monero has won the season's golden glove for the second year running with 18 clean, Mendy is behind by one and has has a great debut season.

The odds are stacked up against Leicester, but I'm backing them to make it into this year's champions league tournament.

[Smartvirus]

Personally, I think there was way too much extra time on the Chelsea vs Leicester City game, 9 minutes of added time, that's a lot. Well, it was impressive to have watched 2 Nigerian players make it to the headline of the game. Kelechi Iheanacho scoring the only Leicester City goal and was assisted by Wilfred Ndidi. Nice for my Nigerian boys.
Anyway, it was nice to have seen Chelsea actually picking up the pace and meeting up with the target of actually winning the game tonight. Hence they get to keep there position on the league table and tighten the spots on the UCL table.

Mendy has by far w9n peoples hearts with his goal keeping thus far, too bad he couldn't cling to the title from Ederson Montrose.

Today a very interesting meeting of teams from 3rd and 4th places in the table. If Leicester doesn't lose this match, they will probably secure a promotion to the Champions League. Chelsea cannot afford to lose as Liverpool will likely seize the chance to overtake them in the table. I believe the guests will achieve their goal today, I bet Chelsea - Leicester: x2

If Liverpool win both of their remaining games they will get CL football. It’s Leicester & Chelsea who are more in danger of missing out, they play each other tonight so one or both of them will drop poijts.
If a team loses in their game tonight they are in serious trouble. These are the remaining fixtures -

Chelsea and Leicester could choose to share the points but i have a feeling Chelsea is losing this one!

Leicester are a small team in big boys shoes and they will pick it up from were they left from

my prediction Chelsea 1-2 Leicester

Manchester United vs Fulham

Starting 11 announced


United have a strong team and from the look of things this one about getting goals for personal gains, the likes of Bruno should be on the scorecard this evening to chase Kane and Salah for the Godden boot.

Manchester United must do something about their terrible home record this season if they must be taken seriously next season. Old Trafford was a fortress under Ferguson. If they were able to replicate their away form at home they would've won the league this season.

[Mistafreeze]

The tense! The passion!! The spirit!!!


The game was by far more interesting to watch than the FA cup final, you could see how passionate both teams were from the start to the end, the Chelsea players are still upset with the FA cup lost last weekend. Chelsea are now third place leaving Liverpool and Leicester in the danger zone, the final fixture will decide who stays and who goes to the champions league next season.

I thought Manchester City go going to win against Brighton. But it seems, losing a man 10 minutes into the game, weakened them. And also Brighton was not ready to lose today's match.

While already relegated Fulham tied their match against Manchester United, although the match is not very important because Manchester United have already secure a space in the Champion League next season.

Honestly United seems like a proper team now, for a while they have been down in the dumpster after SAF retired but they are looking great again I have to give it to them BUT they still lack the proper defense if you ask me. They have scored 71 goals, only team above them is City with 78, and they are many goals ahead of all the other teams, that is a great offense, we all know how great they are when it comes to scoring a goal, they have nearly 2 goals per game averages.

However when it comes down to getting scored, there are 5-6 other teams who got less goals scored on them, and nearly 4 others within 3 goals as well, that is not really good, they are nearly mid table when it comes down to getting scored if they had like 2-3 more goals scored on them, they have over one per game scored on them, that is a ton for second ranked team. This off-season they should definitely consider getting better defenders.

[ShowOff]

as i am typing Chelsea managed to score, i totally agree with you, they have to get their revenge after losing against them in the final of the FA cup, and now i think Leicester won't make in the champions league next year, they have a very hard match against Tottenham, Liverpool can still save the season.

The match ended for Chelsea's win and that's what I thought after the first half was over. Chelsea have proven they deserve to win and stay in the Champions League next season and their win today looks very important to keep up those chance. Leicester are now on the verge of failing to compete in the Champions League because Liverpool have not played their 37th match. If Liverpool win then their point will be the same but Liverpool are head to head so they deserve to be in the top four. There is a chance to see Liverpool return to the Champions League but they will have to win all the match that are available at the moment.

We will know if the final fixture would decide who gets a champions league spot and who wouldn't. After today's loss to Chelsea, Leicester is 3 points above Liverpool. If Liverpool wins Burnley tomorrow, they'll be on a par with Leicester and depending on the goals scored tomorrow, Liverpool should be in #4 position based on goal difference. Then the final day would have all the answers we need. Liverpool can easily win their next two games with just enough goals to get them that spot on goal difference. I was expecting Chelsea to lose and that would have made it much easier. Chelsea isn't out in the clear YET.

Its not only that, the match was in a high tension because both teams are trying to win the game to ensure their top 4 spot. If Liverpool win tomorrow then Leicester most likely is going out of the top 4 spot provided if the goal differences is higher. Currently Liverpool has +21 goals while Leicester stands at +20 goals , small differences but that matters alot

Chelsea are now third place leaving Liverpool and Leicester in the danger zone, the final fixture will decide who stays and who goes to the champions league next season.

Its still not a safe position for Chelsea. If they lose the next one while both Leicester and Liverpool win the remaining games then Chelsea is out of top 4. Chelsea still needs to win the last game

Is head to head stat will be the tie breaker if they finish with the same points? AFAIK, the tie breaker in EPL is goal difference. Head to head is being used in Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1, etc if I remember it correctly. At the moment Liverpool has +21 goal difference while Leicester has +20, Liverpool still has 2 matches while Leicester 1 match left only. The chance for Liverpool is indeed bigger if they can win the last 2 matches, the question is "will Liverpool be able to win their last 2 matches?" Statistically the last 2 matches should not be a big deal for Liverpool, but we are in soccer game and they are in a crucial moment that may change their performances. Their latest match is a simple example when they needed to wait till the last seconds to win the match with special goal from the goal keeper.

Its still not a safe position for Chelsea. If they lose the next one while both Leicester and Liverpool win the remaining games then Chelsea is out of top 4.

I am optimistic that Chelsea will win the last match. Although they will play away, they against Aston Villa, it is a weaker team. While Leicester will against Tottenham, it should be a tough match. And for Liverpool, they still have 2 left matches, need to see first the result of the match against Burnley tomorrow. So, the chance for Chelsea to survive in the top 4 is quite good. Don't worry, mate!!

[Yogee]

I think Tuchel followed a different strategy against Leicester. Despite losing the last two games to Leicester and Arsenal, Chelsea are doing well enough this season against strong teams. They have won against Real Madrid. They have also won the last two matches against Manchester City. I look forward to seeing Tuchel's new strategy in the Champions League final.

Matches between clubs from same national league are never interesting.  They know each other too well and don't give opponent open space to play.

You get the feeling that you've seen this many times before so it doesn't interest you anymore but they are playing for the biggest trophy in club competition. It's going to be more intense so I don't expect them to treat it as a regular league game.

 I also don't see familiarity as a hindrance. How the team breaks down defense should make it interesting to watch but you don't have to force yourself to watch.

...

What's less interesting to me right now is how the top 2 in the league teams aren't finishing the season in a strong manner. I hope they get the W in their last games.

That is correct. Premier League favors goal differential as the tie breaker.

Leicester's position is on the edge of a cliff if Liverpool gets the winning versus Burnley tonight. Leicester also 1 point different goal from Liverpool. if they lost in the last game and Liverpool gets 2 winnings with 2 or 3 goals, Leicester says goodbye to the champion league. while Chelsea if they lose in the last game they also say goodbye to the champions league If Liverpool and Leicester get the winning in the last games.

This is a competitive game, we have to wait for who gets a failed, Chelsea, Leicester, or Liverpool.

The win is good for Chelsea and Leicester City now is in a danger like in the past season. They will know they will join the Champions League or fail again, in the final day. If they fail, it will be sad for them as they solidly stay in the top three for many months.

Liverpool appearance in Champions League might be better for the Premier League because they have better players and have better competitiveness with top clubs in the Europe. I am not a fan of two clubs but neutrally I thought so.

Liverpool can celebrate for the defeat of Leicester City but the fight is on going and The Kop need to win their two matches.

[Avirunes]

Although Chelsea played well but I think Leicester could have avoided those goals. Chelsea on other hands kept on trying so much and so many goals were voided due to offside , handball. Out of the two teams Chelsea were the better team and they deserved win clearly. Leicester have next tough match against Spurs, Chelsea are up against Aston Villa and Liverpool have matches against Burnley and Crystal Palace. So yeah anything could happen but honestly I was hoping Leicester would be able to be in a good position for CL position.

I would be happy if Leicester were able to qualify to play in the Champions League. Leichester has played much better than Liverpool throughout the season. They have lost form in the last few matches and have lost several matches, so they are lagging behind. Now if they lose to Tottenham in the last match then their whole season of trouble will be in vain. Hope, they will win against Tottenham, and will qualify to play in the Champions League.

[onecall123]

The game was fantastic and sharp three points for Chelsea as they defeat Leicester City at Stamford Bridge. Tough match even though Chelsea performance was not so great as expected, thus my all attention grabs Leicester. Leicester likely giveaway two unnecessary goals to Chelsea, which is lack of experience. Anyway, Chelsea back in the third place in the Champions League spots.

I am not a supporter or protester of Leicester City. My thought is they deserve to have one spot to Champions League, third or fourth position is not a big matter. I even think they deserve for the third position. Nevertheless, I think the FA Cup is good for them because no one remember you if you are a club participate in Champions League. But they will remember you, and your club name will be in history when you win trophies. Leicester City have a Premier League and FA Cup (this season).

A spot to Champions League can help them get some more money but their player resource is not good enough to distribute for both Premier League and Champions League. Participation in Champions League might be a bad game for them.

Chelsea won and had a good revenge for the FA cup but the fight among three clubs have yet over. 2 in 3 clubs will be in Champions League and we will only know who are they when the final day ends.

I agree that Leicester City can do better in two conceded goals but the match is over and they have to move forwards. If they want to be in Champions League, let's play their best in final day and get three points.

Leicester's position is on the edge of a cliff if Liverpool gets the winning versus Burnley tonight. Leicester also 1 point different goal from Liverpool. if they lost in the last game and Liverpool gets 2 winnings with 2 or 3 goals, Leicester says goodbye to the champion league.

If Leicester lose their last game and Liverpool win their last 2 games, Liverpool will qualify no matter how many goals they make for the 2 wins. Simple because Liverpool will have +3 final points than Leicester.

while Chelsea if they lose in the last game they also say goodbye to the champions league If Liverpool and Leicester get the winning in the last games.

As what you said previously in this thread, there is still a chance for Chelsea to go to CL next season if they can win the Final. So basically you cant say that they should say goodbye to CL just because they are out of top 4 in EPL because there is still one other chance/way.

[cryptofrka]

A good and compact Chelsea performance yesterday, their win was well deserved. Leicester grabbed a goal which might prove important in the end, goal difference can potentially be the decider between themselves and Liverpool.

I'm actually not that concerned about our game today, Burnley is one of the worst teams in the league. I know we struggled with these kind of teams before but Burnley is playing a bit differently than WBA for example.
If we break them down early enough it will probably be an easy game. If not, we have Allison
