Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Rengga Jati]

Manchester United didn't do well in the beginning of the season last year and they are doing the same this season. In the last two games they lost unexpectedly vs Crystal Palace in EPL and Galatasaray in Champions League. Defensive errors are unforgivable in such highly intense competitions and injuries couldn't be an excuse there.

However, Man United's performance at the start of this season was quite disappointing. They may not be a bad club, but, they sometimes play very badly. Even when they have good opportunities, they cannot execute them well enough. Some of Man United's failures in previous matches were also quite surprising, and Ten Hag is someone who is quite responsible for that.

I blamed Erik Ten Hag for everything that's happening to Manchester United, he made inappropriate signings this summer and he didn't mapped out the required spots for these new players, the exact thing Chelsea is having now. Manchester united passing through some tough moments in EPL, we the fans quite understand the entire situation in ground for Manchester United, we just hoped they're able to bounce back within range of time, because alot of things will go wrong if the board doesn't rectify these challenges which will grow bigger to become a barrier for Manchester United.

Well, yeah, I see. Ten Hag must take the responsibility and he must evaluate the team seriously, without his own ego having to come to the fore, Because after all, sometimes making decisions during a match is quite surprising and makes us ask a lot of questions. Well, not only that, the Man United players were also not as optimal as last season.

After yesterday's defeat against Crystal Palace, next week they should be able to do much better and win against Brentford. Even though we know that Brentford is sometimes quite troublesome.
Unfortunately, they may also still be devastated, especially with their defeat in the UCL yesterday against Galatasaray, they haven't even got a point in the UCL.

Surely this will be a serious problem for Arsenal ahead of their big match against Manchester City later, Bukayo Saka's muscle injury problem is serious enough that he was pulled off the field in the previous match against Lens, and obviously this is a serious concern for Arteta because as we know Saka is one of the important players on their wing. Of course as you say this situation is really very unfortunate when they have to play a big team like Manchester City but they have to lose their key players. Oh well on the other hand I also heard that Arteta was a bit criticized by people for rarely giving Saka a break. Honestly, this is a big problem, and it's true that Arteta must quickly find a solution to this situation, or find a replacement that will not cause a significant void in Saka's absence in the next match against Manchester City. Playing at home in my opinion is a pretty heavy responsibility, even though they will play against the strongest team in the Premier League but still the situation at home seems to require them to achieve good results, agree a draw is not bad enough if victory is not possible.

Arteta is responsible for Saka's injury because he always starts Bukayo Saka every match, and even after being kicked down in an Arsenal match against Tottenham, Arteta still starts him in Arsenal's last Premier League game against Bournemouth. I expect Arteta to rest Saka against Lense so that he will be fully rested to face Manchester City, but he risks the player, and the player ends up getting injured and won't be able to face Arsenal's greatest rival Manchester City.

There is still hope for Arsenal to win the match since Manchester City also have injured players in the squad, and Arsenal can manage to play with Nelson and Trossard with either Jesus or Nketiah at the top, and they can get a result since their midfield is complete.

Arsenal has a good chance to take revenge on Manchester City because of what happened in the last season because in last season, Arsenal had a match against this team, and after winning the game Arsenal lost their hope for the rest of the season. Also, Guardiola and his team are the reason for Arsenal to lose the title in the last season.

United were so-so all last season, only the urgent transfer of Casemiro improved the situation a little. This season, Ten Hag got everyone he wanted, for example, he got rid of the legend De Hea in favor of Onana, who is still showing a clown performance. And the results are only getting worse. In general, United play as if they have no coach at all.

Manchester United did signed last season, bringing in crucial players that changed game pattern and made made impacts for the team. Casemiro is a very good example of playees that enchanced the club. Perhapes united didn't make quite an impressive performance last season, inconsistent results in games though they earned themselves a significant position on EPL table by qualifying for top four. However this season, everything is different, they have one of the worst defeats run up in EPL and also UCL. Erik Ten Hag made hugh mistakes when he replaced David de Gea with André Onana who's probably not having the best moments in Old Trafford, conceding more goals against his opponents, the Red Devils are unbalanced in games.

David De Gea should have at least earned his place from Erik Ten Hag. With the Manchester United defense unbalanced, David De Gea still got to save Manchester United. He was also the only goal keeper with the highest saves who ended up winning the Golden glove in the Premier League.
Agreements with the club to take a salary pay cut and Man United didn't keep them part of the own deal.
This is not the moment of baseless arguments, Man United bought a second man for goal duties Onana can be dropped for a match or two.
Last season, that of Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez all improvede the sides.

I'm looking forward to watching the Arsenal - Manchester City game at the weekend. Manchester City are favoured of course but the gap of odds isn't very big. Because Arsenal are also as good as them in the league these days. In terms of general quality and effort Manchester City are still one step ahead that's for sure.

But this time might be different. It depends on how Arteta will prepare his players for the game. Their last rendezvous here didn't end well for Arsenal if you remember. Arteta is Guardiola's student so maybe he can develop a new strategy to deal with them better this time.

Very sad to see that if liverpool was accepting unfair decision from what happeend due to the var. Var needs to be evaluated even more. It's caused by liverpool was not the only one. There have been many clubs were also getting disadvantage due to the var.
I think that this tech is not perfect yet being used in the EPL.

It looks like Liverpool will accept this decision or they will ask for a rematch. I admit that I am very annoyed with the decision because if it is confirmed, Liverpool will not experience defeat and they will still be on their best path in the Premier League. Several bad decisions have been given by referee Simon Hooper which cannot be accepted by Liverpool fans. As we can see, this match was colored by the many cards he issued in this match which made Simon Hooper considered unprofessional in carrying out his duties. Apart from that, Kloop seems to want this match to be replayed after the var case which annulled Luis Diaz's goal.

But we will see the competition this week where Liverpool will face Brighton in this match. I predict this match will be quite exciting considering that Brighton is quite strong this season. They are able to provide interesting resistance to their opponents. However, for Liverpool, they will first face Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the European league match which will take place tomorrow.

The team did well in the last year, despite the fact that they moved to 4th place in the standings at the last moment, I think this is a good result. So what is happening to the team now I think it is clearly not because of the coach, there are problems in the team that do not depend on Ten Hag, as a coach he fulfils his function, there is no need to change him. Although lately I don't agree with his policy at all...

Manchester United didn't do well in the beginning of the season last year and they are doing the same this season. In the last two games they lost unexpectedly vs Crystal Palace in EPL and Galatasaray in Champions League. Defensive errors are unforgivable in such highly intense competitions and injuries couldn't be an excuse there.
Their next two games aren't that hard before returning again in Champions League and facing just next Manchester City. I am not very optimistic about them in Champions League nor vs City.

Right now Manchester United team is in a very poor condition because of their inability to win matches shouldn't be much difficult for them but at the end they lose matches shamefully. Manchester United started off last season very bad but then it was understandable because their coach was trying to understand his players and the team very well but by now the team ought not to be struggling in winning matches under a manager that took them to third position in the league last season. I think the last two matches that Manchester United has lost was an error from Erik Ten hag because looking at the Palace game in the EFL cup Manchester United dominated the game and won 3:0, now playing the same team in the league what stops him from using the same players ?  United lost against Galatasaray at old Trafford again with a very poor performance that shows how confused the coach has become and how the team is not playing with confidence anymore.

It is a home game for Arsenal, which makes this game more interesting than I would otherwise expect. I think a game at Manchester City's would be a much harder task than this one. Arsenal is in great shape to go for it now, but this game also involves some desire for revenge for last season. If Arsenal beats Manchester City, I think it would allow people to dream again that Manchester City won't pull off a one team show this season again.

[Leviathan.007]

I think the best news for Pep Guardiola and his team is about two palyer they have Stones and Bernardo Silva. Both players are really important and effective for Manchester City.
Manchester City lost the game against Newcastle and I think having some players injured was the main reason for it but this time both players Bernardo Silva and Stones are back in the team and they are recovered from the bad situation they had.
Now Kevin De Bruyne is the only important injured palyer.

Arsenal against Lens were defeated easily, and this was a shame for Arsenal because they had to lose to their opponent when playing at home. In the next match, Arsenal will meet Manchester City, and this is quite an opponent for Arsenal. The winning percentage is very small, which makes it very suitable for gamblers to place bets and give their choice to Manchester City because Arsenal is unlikely to win against Manchester City.

After I saw Manchester United fail some easy games against weak teams in the Premier League I lost some money when I tried to bet on the match for this team but I usually failed that's why I tried to stop betting on the games related to Manchester United. Because Manchester United doesn't have a stable situation and we can expect to see them win games even the next game against Brentford unless Ten Hag changes the situation of Manchester United.

Manchester City has somehow struggled to win their matches since some of the important members of their squad were sidelined because of their respective injuries and that has got people comparing them to the Manchester City team that lifted the treble last season.
So the return of John Stones and Bernardo Silva will definitely be a very good news for them and their manager who's always tried to rotate the limited squad he has already. They play away at the Emirates stadium against Arsenal this weekend in the English Premier League and are hoping to win that game in other to maintain their lead at the top of the premier league table.

Yeah, we all still can't believe that Manchester City was defeated in the last match moreover the one who beat them was Wolves one of the bottom teams in 15th place, Next, Manchester City will play against Arsenal, of course it's not easy against Arsenal especially Manchester City playing away and Arsenal still holds an unbeaten record, I can't predict who will win what is clear is that the situation of Arsenal and Manchester City is not optimal so a draw is possible.

The game between these two is not going to be an easy one at all because Mikel Arteta has know that he finds it very difficult to win Manchester City in an open play before,and the only time Arsenal won them was when they won the community Shield from them through penalties,and ever since Guardiola took over as Manchester City manager,Arsenal have not win them.Despite the form that Arsenal were in last season,they still lost to City back to back,so you can see that City are always favourite when it comes to the two clubs.But this time around,City's two best players will not play, Debruyne and Rodri won't be in that match,that will be a big boost for Arsenal,and because of that,I predict Arsenal to win the match.

Let arsenal to continue their bottle performances. They will get nothing this season the same as previous season. It's more likely the chance to get garbage trophy was not there as well. City will destroy arsenal and it doesn't matter whether it was home or away.
The match between Manchester City and Arsenal will showcase Manchester City's superiority. The only bad thing if manchester city will be missing rodri but i hope that alvarez will be also playing against arsenal soon.
The club really needs him as a backup for haaland. He can also play as attacking midfielder which was very helpful for the club. His accurate shoot will be also helping manchester city so much to win against arsenal.
I hope haaland will be destroying arsenal very soon. Let city try to take full points from arsenal.

City is above arsenal in everything right now. Arsenal will be trophy less again soon. King city will be winning EPL for 4 times in a row.

The coming days will determine where Liverpool faith will hang in the premier league,  when their face Brighton who happens to be a club in the same category with Liverpool even since the last two season when Liverpool started misbehaving and losing points and matches.

Although if I am to predict,  I will still choose Liverpool for a straight winning because that is what will ultimately happen on the match and if there be any chance at all for Brignton then their score a goal or two during the match but not to the point of winning Liverpool in the matche.

[Smack That Ace]

Gunners are in good shape, contending for EPL League title last season and also having one of the credible performances this season for the purpose to push the team to higher spots. Mikel Arteta have alot of work to handle, he looked more worried about his key player who's under probability of starting against Manchester City. Bukayo Saka picks up an injury against Lens in UEFA Champions League, there's doubt if he would return to training for weekend game against Manchester City. Mikel Arteta would sort out replacements for his winger and probably suits in the best strategy against Pep Guardiola men.

Yes, it's clear, of course it would be a shame if Bukayo Saka couldn't be played in the big match against Manchester City. Because of course, Arsenal also still has a mission to be undefeated at this moment but unfortunately, it seems like Arsenal always has problems regarding key players being injured for important matches like this. But yes, hopefully Arteta can implement a more appropriate strategy to adjust to the shortage of key players like this. Because after all, Arsenal will also be playing at home, and at least it is a necessity for Arsenal to still get points at home. Even though it was only get one point with a draw, of course it would still be a good result for them too.

That's why it is also important to rotate players otherwise this shouldn't have happened. Over the time you also risk of make that player injury prone. With now a good density I actually expect Arteta to rotate players but it seems like he was relying on Sala too much. Well anyway hope Saka injury isn't too serious and will join us soon enough. Now about the games till then I expect Arteta to start with Rowe as he really has that energy on wing like Saka. A draw will be a good result but with Spurs finding their form back again it's not the City we are competing only. So we do need the 3 points and not a draw. A draw will also be a decent outcome but target should be to get the 3 points.

Right now, Arsenal is definitely a good squad. And I do not think they will have to worry too much about not having one player in the squad available. I think they are going to do fine without him. But if the injury problem gets bigger, like some other players getting injured, it is definitely going to be a problem. We have seen Arsenal facing problems being consistent in the English Premier League, especially towards the end of the season. So injury problem is something they will have to keep a close eye on.

The next match of Arsenal is against Manchester City. Honestly speaking, I do not think Arsenal will be able to win that match. And Arsenal just had a very disappointing performance against Lens in the Champions League. This is one match which they really should have been able to win. At least it was pretty surprising to me.

Both clubs are in top form and it might be quite difficult to comfortably predict the outcome of the game. Arsenal playing at home wouldn’t significantly improve their chances of winning but I guess playing at home has its own advantages.
Arsenal would be hoping to win the game giving Man City the second loss of the season and it won’t be an easy feat as Man City would also be going for the win and extend their lead. If Arsenal does win, people might just begin to look at the possibility of some other club other than Man City win the league this season.  The game would be an interesting one to watch.

The result will be the same like previous seasons if manchester city would be winning whole of duel against arsenal this season. Manchester city may sometime performed so badly but it will not be for so long. Manchester city won with very big scores against leipzig.
Arsenal could not even win against lens while manchester city won with huge scores against leipzig. Manchester city will go crazy in the duel against arsenal soon. Arsenal shall have prepared itself to receive its first lose against manchester city. Manchester city is still too strong for arsenal at this moment. Using alvarez and haaland at the same time will be a disaster for the arsenal. The gunners needs to prepare themselves to see the first lose of arsenal against manchester city.
EPL is blue my friend. Arsenal will never ever won it. It's time for city to be back to back champion again this season. City will not miss this opportunity.
