Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Coyster]

Statistically, this match will be won easily by City. But I think this match will not be easy for City because currently Burnley is coached by Vincent Kompany, the former captain of Manchester City.
No team is ready for Manchester City. But. Im sure Burnley will play well.

Burnley did so well in the Championship last season and most of the thanks has to go to Vincent Kompany, he changed how Burnley play football and they became so impressive, but the EPL is a tougher stage for Burnley and Kompany, for example, they were on top of their game last season in the Championship, but when they met City in the Fa Cup, they were thrashed 6-0, that is the gulf in class between the two teams and the two leagues.

I am not expecting an upset from Burnley tonight, City will definitely get the job done, i know the first few weeks of a new season can be tricky, but not in this game; City will win it easily.

[tusandii]

I think Arteta gained significant experience from last year and will warn his players about this. Manchester City were lucky because last year Arsenal have been losing in the league with huge inconsistencies lately. I don't think we will follow the same scenario this year. If Arsenal takes the lead this year, they will continue to develop various tactics with Arteta to use this advantage.

Yeah Arteta is very experienced, I love the way he handles the club though there performance last year was a but low but  I believe they will strategize,  because when you look at Arsenal players you will see that their future is bright

Last season was the greatest season that Arsenal could achieve under coach Arteta, the hope of all Arsenal fans for this season Arteta can lead Arsenal to a championship and bring home a trophy.
But for the Premier League it seems that it is still difficult for Arsenal to finish the League by coming out as champions because they have a tough task, namely to match and collect more points than the defending Premier League champions, namely Manchester City.

To be honest, it's actually too much for those who flatter Arsenal as Premier League champions this season because the journey to becoming a champion is not easy.
I think the runner-up title or finishing in the top 4 positions is more appropriate for Arsenal to have again this season.

[zuzie]

Usually the team that goes up to the first division will be more aggressive even though we know Man City is more favored as an away opponent, but I'm sure Burnley will not let them concede more for the first match.

I think it will be a 1-2 score in that prediction, but anything can happen considering the opponent is Man City who is stronger than other teams, yes I am not coming to this opponent weak but the victory will be in Mancity as the best team?

I would like to see Haaland score again.

Yes, that's the advantage of the promotion team they play carefree if they lose it's normal but if they win it's certainly extraordinary
Different from Manchester City they are the favorite team that must win if they lose it must be very embarrassing, I agree with you Manchester City might win
but other scenarios can occur for various reasons and for bets I'm interested in total goals over 3.5 goals seems tempting.

English Premier League Round 1 is going to start first match Manchester City vs Burnley. We know that Manchester City will definitely win this match because Manchester City has become the champion as the best team of the season.

I don’t really know why most people are so confident that Manchester City are going to win the match. We all know that Manchester City are the champions and were the best team last season, but this is a new season, and they are playing against a club that has just been promoted to the Premier League. Even if Manchester City are going to win the match, it’s not really going to be easy for them. Let’s see how Manchester City is going to perform this season without those players who left the club. I just hope it won’t have much of a negative impact on the club’s performance.

Maybe a big game Chelsea vs Liverpool. Although Chelsea were bad last season, I think they are still strong enough for Liverpool. Who wins? I favour Liverpool. 

Chelsea vs Liverpool will be one of the most interesting matches of the week. Chelsea's performance was very poor last season, but as we can see, they have a new coach and new players. I expect them to perform very well this season. From the matches that Chelsea played in the preseason, there has already been an improvement in the club’s performance. I know their match against Liverpool will be a tough one for the two teams, but I won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw or if Chelsea win.

[Huppercase]

Liverpool has reach an agreement with Brighton to gets Moises Caicedo and they have to spend 110 millions to gets this player and previously Moises Caicedo often linked to Chelsea and even Moises Caicedo has personal agreement with them but apparently Liverpool were successfully to hijack him because Chelsea only dare to bid 100 millions and suddently Liverpool has came with 110 millions and this offers make Brighton agree to release him to Liverpool and this price currently broke the record as the most expensive midfielder in the Premier league after Enzo Fernandez and reported Caicedo will do medical check soon however i never thought this transfer will be happened because previously Liverpool were working on to Romeo Latvia transfer

it looks like Liverpool were in a hurry with the transfer this time the offer from Chelsea made Liverpool have to increase their offer because Brighton will only sell the club with the highest bid, and this is too high in my opinion, the most benefiting from this player transfer is Brighton and this club together with West Ham is a club that has made big profits in the transfer market this season, and for some reason, I think many players are overvalued so that it will put a lot of pressure on these players if they don't live up to expectations, And Caicedo will become the player with the most expensive transfer fee this season beating Gvardiol who went to Manchester City from Leipzig Bundesliga.
With Liverpool's focus on buying midfielders in the current transfer market, proving that they will indeed bring in 3 or even 4 midfielders because Klopp saw that it was their weakness last season that made Liverpool fail to be in the top four last season.

I feel stupid that Liverpool and Chelsea are fighting for a player that has a single goal in his last 37 appearance, lets have small shame except perhaps this transfer is now personal between Chelsea and Liverpool. Caicedo is a coward, he is just repeating back step of Mbape between PSG and Real Madrid, and there is nothing special about this guy, maybe not to everypne but I can proudly say for me, he does'nt derserve to be worth $120 million, it is going to be fun at the end of the season if Liverpool or Chelsea didn't win the Premier League.

How can Caicedo be worth more than Declan Rice? Think about it, there is something that s wrong with this transfer and perhaps a review is needed for accepting Liverpool terms and booking for medicals only to change mind that it he already had a personal terms with Chelsea since May, that's red flag and who knows if Brighton is the one pumping the ideas into his head to raise the bar so they can make money since they haven't won something tangible in century.

Statistically, we can't deny that Man City is superior in every way and that is a fact. But I also don't rule out that Burnley is a club trying to become a defensive club after they struggled to get into the Premier League. Even though the final result Burnley had to lose in the match later, the most important thing is that they have gained a lot of experience to be able to make their debut in the Premier League again against this year's champion club. So in my opinion it doesn't matter if Burnley loses badly, because what they have to make an important point is to be motivated that competing in the Premier League is not easy.

Manchester City is obviously the superior team both practically and on paper. Burnley in my opinion shouldn’t be looked upon as a walkover that would easily hand the 3 points to Man City. They’ve struggled and earned their place in the premier league. I wouldn’t classify them a push over and I’m eager to see their performance during this season.
I’m not exactly expecting much from them in the first game with Man City as City is obviously the stronger side and is most likely set to win the game. I’m sure Burnley is motivated enough and knows the competition in the premier league is a lot different.

The Premier League competition is always fierce and no team is underestimated, hasn't it been proven long ago that the Premier League often has surprises with the defeat of the favorite team.
But in predicting a match, we have to be realistic, regardless that later something you don't want will happen, and in football, surprises are a natural thing.

Well, talking about being realistic in predicting the outcome of matches in the premier league,  for me, i do sometimes go against the crowd, most especially when I see a really high odd, which means the chances of that team winning is low, but also means that, if that team by any chance wins, the potential amount of money for those that bet for that team will also be high based on the odds.
So most times when I see such, even though i know that the chances of winning is very low, i still go against the crowd, but i only do this with a very small amount of money, some thing I am really comfortable loosing knowing that my chances of winning such bet is very slim, though for the several times ive done those over the years, it has only worked out for me once, and that was in 2022 world cup Portugal vs Morocco or Ecuador vs Morocco, i cant remember the match in particular now, but i know that Morocco was in that game and it was the team i betted for when the crowd was betting for their counterpart, and Morocco later won.

I also don't consider Burnley but I see the team's strength realistically so I think Manchester City's chances of winning this match are quite large.
I bet -1.5 because I believe Manchester City will win by a convincing score in their first match.

You are right, and to be honest, i dont think any one who is truly a fan of sports will say anything different from what you have said, the game is sure for Manchester city, unless they themselves decides to allow Burnley win.

[rendravolt]

It would be interesting to see if Burnley are able to create the miracle surprise to upset Manchester City in the first match of the English Premier League this season even though I think it would be too hard for that result to happen today, I guess the home fans of Burnley might have to accept the first loss of their team against Manchester City at the start of this season.

I actually also want a different result in the match later and if Burnley manages to beat Manchester City, of course it will be an extraordinary achievement on their promotional debut in the EPL. But indeed something like that will be difficult to realize considering that Manchester City is still the defending champion of the EPL with top squad depth in all lines. Even so, actually a draw is already very good for Burnley in this match, at least they can still secure one additional point. We will also see a duel between teachers and students in this match, namely Pep Guardiola vs Vincent Kompany.

It's true, on paper Man City is superior in many ways, both players and in terms of the game. But I think Kompany will give his best for his team, Burnley will try their best this season and they won't be afraid of Manchester City either. Even though they lost to Man City, but their defeat was not easy, they will provide resistance for Man City.

But feeling Man City will win comfortably, maybe this is true. Burnley will be under a lot of pressure against the big clubs this season in the EPL, but I feel they can hold their own. I'm sure Man City vs Burnley will present a good and lively opening match. My prediction is that Man City will win with a narrow score of 1-2 for Man City to win.

[JeffBrad12]

Of course Burnley are going to lose this game... I don't remember Man City losing to EPL newcomers... Especially since it's the first kick-off game of this season... And another factor for City's good game is that they lost in the Super Cup to Arsenal recently... Burnley will lose without a chance...

I also think that what you say can happen to Burnley, because Burnley is not a team that can make it difficult for Manchester City and Manchester City themselves might also think that Burnley is an easy opponent for them in the first week of this season so I also agree more with what what you're saying, that is Burnley will lose to Manchester City without any chance.

that's the reason why i were going all in city. Burnley being promoted to the EPL but its performance is still questionable at this moment. I don't underestimate it but i doubt if burnley will able to give a tough game for city. It's caused by burnley was not facing manchester city last season. The club just being promoted to the EPL now. Burnley must be careful with manchester city with all of its stars. City will try to use full power against burnley. Burnley may be conceded so many goals against manchester city.
Guardiola needs to try its main line up against burnley to make sure whether the main squad is still strong enough or not to win a lot of trophies again this season. My guess if guardiola will be playing haaland and KDB together.
I hope that burnley will able show its best performance in first week of EPL. We will see kompany to face its former club.

The opening match can be a tough one but I think no one doubts Man City because they really are a solid team and of course the reigning Premier League champions. Although they will be playing as guests but it is undeniable that Man City's level is far above Burnley, so the game against Burnley shouldn't be a difficult mission for Man City.

No team is ready for Manchester City. But. Im sure Burnley will play well.

Matchday in Burnley
The stage is set, and the tension is rising. It's almost time for the Burnley clash. Best of luck Burnley
Enjoy the game!

Despite how Burnley play way better under Vincent Kompany, they have a better chance playing the all out defense and counter attack than going toe to toe with Man City in a possession battle.
Manchester City loves when the opponents comes out to play, when the opponents is not defensive. This leaves aot of spaces at the back.
Burnley don't have the quality of players Man City has to pay that kind of football against them and win.

That's by the way though.
I would really love to see how this Burnley team does this season. This is a team that have always played the ancient traditional football of FBs that are actually defenders and just defenders, not players that join in the attack. They were not used to the modern football style of playing football but Kompany has changed that and it has worked so far. They won the championship last season. One thing I'm looking forward to is how they play this season. Would they turn out to be a force like Brighton or they'll just be another Sheffield United.

[HajiBagi]

English Premier League Round 1 is going to start first match Manchester City vs Burnley. We know that Manchester City will definitely win this match because Manchester City has become the champion as the best team of the season. Every player will perform exceptionally to make Manchester City better this season. burnley is not a very strong team manchester city 2022/23 epl champion team and it will be very difficult for burnley to cope with this team. According to the points table of 2023-24 EPL, Burnley is at the 6th position and Manchester City is at the 13th position. If Manchester City wins today's match then they will go to the top of the points table and there is no doubt that Manchester City will win today's match. Manchester City will probably welcome the City fans with their win at the start of the new season.

Even though I am not a fan of Manchester City, I am rooting for them in this game and am confident that they will triumph. Burnley has a number of talented young players, but they are not as good as Manchester City, who are the best team in the Premier League and one of the few to win more than three trophies in a single season. Although several of Manchester City's finest players were sold, the team's performance remained strong, and I anticipate that they will continue to pursue another championship this year.

According to how I see it, the Premier League is going to be difficult this year because of the fact that teams in the league are able to enhance themselves by bringing in fresh young players before the season even begins. The league's group stage is now beginning. I can't predict who will win the league championship, but I can predict that Manchester City will beat Burnley in today's match.

I am very sure, that it is very unlikely for Burnley to be able to hold Manchester City even more so to beat Manchester City. Because after all, in fact also in the head to head record it is clearly visible, that Manchester City has a very great dominance of victory when Manchester City playing against Burnley. So yes, even though Burnley is the winner of the championship title last season but still, playing against Manchester City is a very difficult task for Burnley to be able to put up a strong resistance.

Burnley are an awkward opponent as they like to play defensively, especially at home, but I think City should be able to handle this enhanced defence. Finally the Premier League starts, it's a good day, Friday night to watch a great match. Should we expect goals from Haaland today, will he try to break his own record this season?  The odds for City's victory is small, maybe I'll wait, if the game goes to a late goal, I'll try to catch something in live.

Referring to the history of the H2H meetings between these two teams, Burnley always falls with a landslide score when they meet Manchester City. the last meeting of the two teams in the FA CUP event, City crushed Burnley with a landslide score of 6-0. even City's dominance is difficult for the Burnley team to break, even though they are playing at home. in this match, was the Premier League debut match for these two teams. I'm not sure, if the match will offer a very interesting game although it looks like some of City's players will not be used.

Referring to the predicted line-up, it seems that Burnley will not play in a defensive pattern even though the team they will face is a strong team. for City, as usual Pep will apply a 3-2-4-1 pattern. but if I refer to City's predicted line-up, there are several players that Pep will rotate in this match. it seems, De Bruyne will not be played again as the main starter. instead Alvarez replaced De Bryne's position, as well as Bernardo Silva, his position will be shifted slightly and Phil Foden will fill the position that Silva normally occupies. the rest, nothing changes except maybe this will be the first debut for Gvardiol. overall, it should be fine for City to topple the home team. especially if we refer to the available odds, City are far more favored.

Ideally if you want to make a bet, I suggest betting on Over 2.75 with odds @1.83, there will be at least 3 goals in this match.

Yeah very likely that Burnley will take kinda defensive approach and let City come onto them. But will that be enough to stop them? Well I don't think so but if City keeps on missing chances and Burnley also tightens their defence to give City no way then I think draw is possible. It will be a huge tactical task for Kompany at the start of the season and a good test for Burnley. I am sure Burnley will play their best today as it is their first game and at home and they will have to make first good impressions on their fans.

[piebeyb]

I am very sure, that it is very unlikely for Burnley to be able to hold Manchester City even more so to beat Manchester City. Because after all, in fact also in the head to head record it is clearly visible, that Manchester City has a very great dominance of victory when Manchester City playing against Burnley. So yes, even though Burnley is the winner of the championship title last season but still, playing against Manchester City is a very difficult task for Burnley to be able to put up a strong resistance.

Manchester city should find it easier to get points in their first match in the EPL this season, at least they can show the quality of the game in their new squad team which is currently quite good. besides that, facing Burnley, Man City bomber, Erling Haaland should be able to break the chain of his goal drought. because the former Borussia Dortmund bomber failed to score in 6 consecutive matches.

Haaland has a chance so he can become the top scorer again in the EPL this season. at least showing the quality of his game which is even better than last season, because the former Borussia Dortmund player had a good record when he met The Clarets in the 2022-2023 FA Cup quarter-final match, Haaland managed to score a hat-trick against Burnley. I think manchester city will get the points and win the game later.

I think manchester city will get the points and win the game later.

It is a match with an ending that seems to not be open at all and that Manchester City will destroy Burnley. Of course it is possible and maybe Haaland begins this season the same as he ended the last one, but maybe it will take a different direction and Burnley can demonstrate that they have a strong defense and make it hard for Manchester City to get behind their lines and score a goal. Time will be in favor of Burnley for as long as they haven't conceded a goal. If they can deny a fast goal against them I think this game isn't decided yet.

But I am a Haaland fan and that is why I actually hope that if Manchester City celebrates their first game with a lot of goals that Haaland scores most of them or even all of them. He has still potential to improve and 36 goals in a season is not his limit.

On paper, Man City deserves to be superior when they travel to Burnley headquarters in the opening match of the English Premiere League tomorrow. I think this match will be very interesting if you see Vincent Kompany as Burnley coach, the former Man City captain really understands the quality of his former club. On the other hand, Burnley benefited a little again by playing in front of their own supporters.

But I think all these facts can attract our attention to watch the opening match, Man City is superior to Burnley but Pep must remain vigilant so he can get full points.

In the opening match surprising things can happen, even though materially the Man City players are really the favorites in this match. My prediction is that the match will be a bit more even and Man City won't be too insistent on playing open because it's their first game and don't want to lose on their away trip. If people see that Burnley is under a lot of pressure in this match then I think Man City will also be under a lot of pressure because talking about the defending champion and this is the opening game.

Burnley will play with great motivation and they will try to make a surprise in this match because after all Burnley's spirit is above Man City. Pep Guardiola must be careful in anticipating matches and also have to be a little defensive to stop attacks that are trying to be built by Vincent Kompany's men.
