Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Joca97]

EPL game live, an entertaining game to watch. Though I'm patiently waiting for Burnley vs ManchesterUnited.

I don't think anything will be special in the match. Burnley is a very weak team. Burnley have just been promoted to the Premier League this season, and their performance is really poor in all their matches. They haven't been able to win any matches since the beginning of the season. I am sure Manchester United will make use of the opportunity. I see the match as an easy win for Manchester United because they will be playing against a very weak team. We know Manchester United's performance is also poor this season, but I am sure they will be able to win Burnley easily.

What will be interesting in this match is that we will see Manchester United. Will they return to playing funny with a much weaker opponent? or they can rise by taking advantage of the status of the opponent they will face this time. Of course, this makes us curious, because there are things to look forward to about their coach, Erik Ten Hag. I am sure he has prepared for this match very well. But for the result, I can't be sure what kind of result they will get.
The match is on, let's see.

I have no confidence in Manchester United's performance. Even if they lose, I wouldn't be surprised at all. The performance of this team is very erratic. Now I am enjoying the match live. Manchester United's performance is weak till 20 minutes. United are not able to attack much and even keep the ball in their possession. Burnley enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64% of possession. However, United's performance against Bayern Munich was not bad, although they lost the match. If they can produce a similar performance against Burnley, United are likely to win.

Sincerely UNITED performance in this match had been below expectations, is as if they are playing with just individual talents not like a team with a unique style of play.
Burnley on the other hand are strongly holding it down as home team.
The disallowed goal that UNITED scored was a the right decision taken by VAR.
this first half might just end up in a draw from what I'm seeing here

A world class goal was used to break the deadlock on the first minute of the extra time by Bruno Henerdez , to give Manchester United a relief in the first half. Burnley was in possession of the match but it turned out that they weren't lucky to score any goal before the end of the first half.

I just hope that Manchester United will be able to use this goal as an advantage to win Burnley, so that they can secure three points after a long time now. One the other hand Burnley might come back in the second half with a welcome back and this is will be very disastrous for Manchester United.

Man Utd barely scored in the last minutes in the first half and now they got an amazing result for the second half just hopefully they take advantage of it. I got Man Utd to win so hopefully they dont spill this lead that they got in the first half. Burnley will need to attack now.

Burnley 0-1 Man United.

Burnley is an average club, dominated the first half but lack the chances of securing a goal inothe to lead in the game. Manchester United were very cautious in the first half, absorbing all the pressures and finally invading the home team territory, Bruno Fernandez scored a stunning goal. United are leading 1 nil in half-time, there's more actions to watch in the second half because Burnley would want to come back to level game, which might likely happen, Erik Ten Hag defendlines is not strong enough to hold down pressure, it would be temporary and not permanent.

The match is on, let's see.

The first half of the match has ended and Manchester United is leading Buenley 1-0, but I am still disappointed in Manchester United. I was expecting a better performance from them since they are playing against a weak team, but I noticed that Burnley had better chances in the first half of the match, but they couldn't convert all to goal. Burnley dominated the match in the first half. I am not really confident yet that Manchester United is going to win the match, their defense is so weak in the match, and Burnley are finding it easy to penetrate. If Manchester United are playing against a stronger club, they will have conceded a lot of goals in the first half of the match. But let's see what happens in the second half of the match.

Burnley dominated possession of the ball in the first half, they also managed to create several opportunities but have so far failed to score. Bruno Fernandes scored in the 45th minute to end the first half with a win, but I think Burnley could have scored too if their performance had improved in the second half.

I think this match will end in a 1-1 draw if Burnley manages to score a goal in the second half, but of course it is true that Manchester United is favored in this match instead of the home team. Of course it would be interesting to know the final result.

Maybe there's no shortage of that, but there are other teams who's line-ups may not be quite perfect, but they're just very strong, also as a team. I'm referring to Manchester City. They may have some problems in their squad, but they don't stop them from winning. Besides, if you look at the situation now, Tottenham are joining this race, who have had a great start to the season and also have a good squad.

For Manchester City, I don't see any gaps in their players. Their starters and reserves are at the same level and even if the starters can't play due to some problems like KDB's at the moment the reserves can still be a good option because their quality is not too different considering Manchester City players are really very good in their individual skills.
On the other hand Pep is also quite smart in terms of rotation and organising schemes that want to be done in every match they run so that makes Manchester City always one level above their opponents.

Pep is really something else. In the new tactic he introduced to the world, he no longer uses offensive fullbacks like he used to, he uses more compact players at the back, sometimes he goes completely without fullbacks and piles players in the center of the midfield. He created a defensive midfielder out of stopper john stones, a left back out of another stopper like nathan ake- I find it very boring to write about tactics at length, but to summarize guardiola's aim in this change in an extremely superficial way, I would say that it is to 'ensure fluidity in the transition game to the offense' and 'defensively not to leave space for the opponent to counterattack'. With the new tactic, especially after the world cup that ended in December, they faltered a lot in terms of the quality of the game, but when 3-4 months passed after the big change and the players got used to the new system, they became a machine in March.

The things Pep does when doing tactics are always unpredictable but the results are really perfect for them because with whatever scheme Pep does in the match they really always play very well and Pep knows the abilities of the players in his team so even if he makes changes in the middle of the match the results are still very good.
Today's match was the same, after Rodri's red card, instead of strengthening the defence they added more players in attack when Ake was replaced by Julian Alvarez but the result was very good because they played with 10 players but were able to dominate the midfield well.

The start of the second half was a bit of a disaster because 1 minute into the second half Rodri got a red card and of course this slightly reduced the intensity for sure for Manchester City.
But on the other hand with a 2-goal advantage at the moment I am not too doubtful about them and surely 3 points they will still get in this match even if they play with 10 players, it's just that surely in this case Pep will try to change some schemes and will slightly hold back the intensity of the attack unlike in the first half because still losing Rodri this will be a little disturbing if they try to go all out in the attack carried out.

Manchester City managed to secure victory even though they had to play with 10 players at the start of the second half. Manchester City attack was not like the first half after Rodri left the field, but Manchester City was still too strong for Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola did not make many substitutions in the second half, Pep only made three substitutions throughout the second half.
This victory makes Manchester City the only team that has managed to achieve perfect points in the 6 games they have played, the first position is still theirs because the points they have collected have not been able to be caught up by their rivals.

Playing against 11 players did not make Manchester City falter even though they could not add goals but they were able to delay the game very well and Nottingham Forrest could not do much even though they played with full strength.
In this match, the experience and individual skills of the players really made the difference so that even though Manchester City played limping, they were still on the same track as the previous few matches with dominance and high determination.

Man Utd barely scored in the last minutes in the first half and now they got an amazing result for the second half just hopefully they take advantage of it. I got Man Utd to win so hopefully they dont spill this lead that they got in the first half. Burnley will need to attack now.

Burnley dominated possession of the ball in the first half, they also managed to create several opportunities but have so far failed to score. Bruno Fernandes scored in the 45th minute to end the first half with a win, but I think Burnley could have scored too if their performance had improved in the second half.

I think this match will end in a 1-1 draw if Burnley manages to score a goal in the second half, but of course it is true that Manchester United is favored in this match instead of the home team. Of course it would be interesting to know the final result.

Manchester United managed to take a 1-0 lead, looking like they would be able to win the match 1-0. But I am not satisfied with Manchester United's performance. Despite getting full 3 points in the match, their performance was poor.

Burnley are playing well. Relatively weak team Burnley. Even then they managed to put up a strong resistance against Manchester United. United would have conceded several goals in this match if Burnley's attack had been a bit stronger.

Bruno and Casemiro are playing very well today. Also the performance of Rashfor is quite good. However, United's main striker Hojlund's performance was poor today. However, the performance of Madrid defender Jonny Evans is worth seeing today. Evans has scored two goals so far, but one goal has been disallowed.

[Spaceman1000$]

Evans performance in this game has been topnotch so far, from the disallowed goal he scored and the assist he gave Bruno to score.
Not only in this game but in previous games Evans has been able to justify his come back to the Manchester United squad and also his place in the starting eleven judging from how well he tries to coordinate the defence line in this game seems to me as if the Manchester United side are gonna keep a clean sheet tonight, we hope to see that. United performance this second half has improved, maybe is because of the confidence of the goal scored.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United must be playing with the worst alternatives in the defense line right now. I mean the centre-back duo now. Varane is in the subs and Martinez hasn't even been brought to the game. But at least the opponent is Burnley which is helping Manchester United on one hand.

It is still going on with the Red Devils' 1-0 lead. But this score is always risky no matter what your opponent is. I hope Manchester United can score another goal as soon as possible. This is really an important game to win and recover a little.

[Hyphen(-)]

Evans performance in this game has been topnotch so far, from the disallowed goal he scored and the assist he gave Bruno to score.

United performance this second half has improved, maybe is because of the confidence of the goal scored.

Manchester United deserves to win this game after losses in the Premier League to Arsenal and Brighton, as well as a defeat to Bayern Munich in their Champions League opener at Aliens Arena.

Moreover, Manchester United have a strong statistical possibility of winning the match because they have only drawn one of their last five meetings against Burnley; they have been winning them for a long time, so a 1-0 win away from home is not a bad outcome given their current form.

Man United after the goal in the first half, they have been in possession of the game and they lost more chance than the host Burnley. The problem is that they keep missing their chances of scoring more goals. As for Burnley, they didn't put in much effort compared to that of the first half, and this makes them have a slim chance of equalising the goal. Manchester united don't look like a club in crisis tonight, as they are playing brilliantly, I think that they have come for the suppose to win the match. One of the most spectacle victory for Manchester united, and Fernerdez sealed up the victory with one goal.

[Weawant]

Manchester united has always had this defensive issues and today wasn't left to an exception as the lack of communication and error is just all over the place, its quite unfortunate that they are yet to fix this defensive issue untill it may cost them an important game and of course this game is an important one as such I just pray they win as they are in the 90rh minute already.

Burnley seemed like a weak team but it's quite surprising how they are give Manchester united a hard time from the first half of the game they came out and showed some level of attacking strength of which if the had added an extra effort it would have yielded a goal but then they are still the weak team they are and it's very sad how Manchester united couldn't make use of that advantage to it's fullest.

It's 1-0 in favour of Manchester united of which if it ends like this I still see it as a weak win not impressive enough from their play as I expected even more from them although the strikers and attackers have been at their best, I must commend rashford as he is trying, but for once I got scared as Burnley did had greater possession at the later part of the first half. This game is a must win for Manchester united and I don't expect any less.

-snip-

Their defence is terrible and looks really bad this season as it did in the previous seasons. I dont see a way out for them. They need to change the coach and bring better players in defence. Onana replaced de gea and now it looks like a bad decision from all the mistakes he made

I think when was without Maguire playing in the club, Man United's defender performance will be much better. but in reality, it's not much different, they still don't have a good performance at the back line. Especially when Maguire is around, this was serious and cannot be helped.
In fact, their problems, especially in the back line, are really complex. It seems like the lack of high motivation for them makes them more solid in defending their back line. So this will be very difficult for the goalkeeper to optimize his abilities.

Man United was very grateful to win 0 - 1 against Burnley, because throughout the match, Man United seemed overwhelmed by the play of the Burnley players. Luckily, Burnley players are also not a club that has a sharp and accurate attack line, so their front line performance can still be beaten by Man United. This match is quite interesting because it makes Man United fans anxious when they see how their idol competes against this middle-class club. But at least, they have won this time and congratulations on that. In the future, there will be many big clubs to face and some medium clubs which can also be very troublesome. So, Man United really needs to always improve their consistency to continue playing much better. I'm curious about how Ten Hag will make Man United much better in the future, because if he continues to fail, then his position will also be threatened.

I already predicted that Manchester City will win against Nottingham Forest, that's why I bet on Manchester City with relatively more money and I won the bet.

It is an easy prediction, the level of Man City is far above Nottm Forest. I'm sure everyone must bet on Man City in this match, there is no reason people will bet on Nottm Forest. 

When Manchester City took an early two-goal lead, I was pretty sure that Manchester City would definitely win this match today.

Sure. Man City already leads 2 goals in minute 14'. Seeing two goals in the early match, all of us must think it will be an easy match for Man City.

Rodri's red card is a huge blow for Manchester City. Manchester City played with ten men for almost half the time. One less player means a lot in the game of football.

Yes, the red card for Rodri is very unnecessary. Man City only played against Nottm Forest, it is not a strong team in EPL. I think Rodri doesn't need too play aggressively. Sure, losing 1 player is very influential in football match. It sometimes changes a lot the match.

If Manchester City had not been reduced to 10 men in the second half, Manchester City could have won by a bigger margin against Nottingham Forest.

Agree. If Man City still played with 11 players, I'm sure they will score 2 goals in second half at least. But losing 1 player, make it a bit difficult for Man City. If we look at the stats, Man City couldn't make many shot attempts like usual. During the match, Man City only have 7 shot attempts, it is far below the usual number of Man City shot attempts.

[SOKO-DEKE]

What will be interesting in this match is that we will see Manchester United. Will they return to playing funny with a much weaker opponent? or they can rise by taking advantage of the status of the opponent they will face this time. Of course, this makes us curious, because there are things to look forward to about their coach, Erik Ten Hag. I am sure he has prepared for this match very well. But for the result, I can't be sure what kind of result they will get.

The first half of the match has ended and Manchester United is leading Buenley 1-0, but I am still disappointed in Manchester United. I was expecting a better performance from them since they are playing against a weak team, but I noticed that Burnley had better chances in the first half of the match, but they couldn't convert all to goal. Burnley dominated the match in the first half. I am not really confident yet that Manchester United is going to win the match, their defense is so weak in the match, and Burnley are finding it easy to penetrate. If Manchester United are playing against a stronger club, they will have conceded a lot of goals in the first half of the match. But let's see what happens in the second half of the match.

I don't think you need to be disappointed because Manchester United's performances this season is weak, so for Manchester United, playing with a team like Burnley is not going to be easy for them, and again, why Burnley looks so strong like this is because of they are playing at home, and I always notice that with weak teams and even big teams, they always carry their home games so seriously.
 
But all I expected from Manchester United was the three points, and that is what they have gained and what matters most. But seriously, Burley really performed well today, and they deserved to be the team to win the match or draw, but they were just unlucky.

[Asiska02]

Moreover, Manchester United have a strong statistical possibility of winning the match because they have only drawn one of their last five meetings against Burnley; they have been winning them for a long time, so a 1-0 win away from home is not a bad outcome given their current form.

They needed to win this match by all means following their back to back defeat on three matches now. They really did well by winning this match which I expected them to have added more goals following many goals they’ve conceded already in the premier League.

Burnley are currently in poor form and they had no chance against Manchester United. They’ve only drew one match and lost four out of their five premier league matches played so far this season. Manchester United has always have a good record ahead of them.

In their last five meeting with Manchester United, Man United drew only one and won all the remaining four with them, that is, Manchester United are always ahead of them and the win should not come as a surprise.

[Docnaster]

Evans performance in this game has been topnotch so far, from the disallowed goal he scored and the assist he gave Bruno to score.

United performance this second half has improved, maybe is because of the confidence of the goal scored.

Manchester United is just lucky to win against Burnley tonight. It is not that they played outstanding football that they deserved three points that they got but at least they put some certain level of efforts into the match and to summarise it all three points is the goal of the match no matter how many goals that was called.
Manchester United defence line has never been a good one this season due to the absence of some defenders at some particular time, but thanks to the return of Evans and he has proven that he is capable of being in Manchester United starting 11. He deserve the man-of-the-match award that Bruno Fernandes gift to him.

[QueenVera]

So, Man United really needs to always improve their consistency to continue playing much better. I'm curious about how Ten Hag will make Man United much better in the future, because if he continues to fail, then his position will also be threatened.

The problem is not only from the defender the whole team lacks confidence especially the midfield area, they're not really working hard to mark their opponents and recover the ball,  I wonder how they got to this point, they lack creativity, team spirit and play like they're not training enough, if you noticed the ball was always going to the back and it felt like Manchester United defense where the only ones enjoying the game in their team, Marcus has to work on his pride, he needs to start working with Højlund because he fails to release passes at the accurate time to him

 Though United won the game their performance was really poor and at a point in the 2nd half Burnley dominated the game with a 90% ball possession while United had just 10 this is one of their poorest performance so far, Burnley deserved to win the game, they were so impressive but lacked a good finisher to help the convert the good chances they had.

[youdacapt]

The problem is not only from the defender the whole team lacks confidence 

This is wrong; The Manchester United team is not lacking in confidence or playing capability; they simply have an awful coach who continues to enforce an awful tactics that does not bring out the best in the players and thats why results are poor and they even struggle to play against Burnley (who everyone has thrashed easily)

The team suffered to a 1 nil victory against Burnley; the question is, how long will ten hag continue to get away with awful results and terrible football at Old Trafford?

[Agbe]

Evans performance in this game has been topnotch so far, from the disallowed goal he scored and the assist he gave Bruno to score.

United performance this second half has improved, maybe is because of the confidence of the goal scored.

Manchester United is not doing well in the season, I have lost enough on their head in this season, and today that I didn't not bet on them is the day they won against Burnley. From the stat of the match, you could see that Burnley possessed ball more than Man U. And Man U won this game on luck and not from their skills. I really don't understand what is happening to man u team. If the coach needs to change players, he should do fast to save the team. The team is going down every match they played. Burnley do well in the game.

[bestcoins1]

Man Utd barely scored in the last minutes in the first half and now they got an amazing result for the second half just hopefully they take advantage of it. I got Man Utd to win so hopefully they dont spill this lead that they got in the first half. Burnley will need to attack now.

Unfortunately, the attacks built by Burnley in the second half also did not produce any results and Burnley had to accept defeat in front of their own supporters in this match. Manchester United, which was only able to win narrowly at home to Burnley, should be able to provide better motivation for itself in the next match so that Manchester United is not far behind its rivals at the top of the standings. So Manchester United must have the motivation to slowly catch up with their rivals this season.
