Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Furious 7]

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

I follow you because I also believe Manchester City will be able to win this match.
Big Match is certain and tension will also occur in this match but when talking about the final result then look at the h2h statistics and the conditions of the two clubs now even though Arsenal are still quite good but Manchester City are better.
Arsenal are still constrained in their communication and it was seen in the Champions League last week although indeed the previous week in the EPL Manchester City could not get 3 points because they had to lose to Wolves but in this match I am quite sure they will not make the same mistake for the second time.
A home game for Arsenal might be good enough to boost morale but it will still be difficult for them to get 3 points.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

In general, Manchester City is indeed considered to have an advantage over Arsenal. The performance of Manchester City has seen a remarkable improvement from year to year, reaching its pinnacle last season.

Following the defeat to Lens, which broke Arsenal's record this season for their first loss, it seems that Arsenal needed that wake-up call. Why endure a loss? Perhaps this can serve as an evaluation point for the team to rectify any mistakes and perform better at the Emirates Stadium against City.

I support Arsenal in putting up a strong fight against Manchester City. We all know that Manchester City is a formidable team, but it will take a strong contender to halt their dominance.

I eagerly await a defeat for Manchester City.

He's still good, just unlucky that's why he not score a lot goals.

Since the league is still long, I believe Haaland will still become a top scorer because there's no one can compete him. In Liverpool, they lack of playmaker. In Arsenal, Saka is injured. There's no more extraordinary player, Hojlund? his teammates can't support him.

The English Premier League is competitive, nevertheless Erling Haaland survived and prospered in his first season at Manchester City; there are further milestones to be broken by the Norway international who is confrontational and adeptly positioned in front of goals. The only guy I can think of who would compete for the most goals is Harry Kane, who is now no longer at Tottenham Hotspur. Erling Haaland receives crucial assistance from Manchester City players. He's the team's main striker, and Pep Guardiola has turned him into goal-scoring machine who will pose significant dangers to his opponents. Manchester City will play Arsenal next, which will be a difficult encounter for both teams.

Erling Haaland managed to show the quality of his game since he first joined Manchester City. The success of this player was also greatly helped by the play of teammates who played equally well, also the coach also gave a big contribution to his success, because he (Pep) knew how to take advantage of the abilities of this one player.
The chemistry created in this squad is also one of the supporting factors for that, the game they show is always fluid. Their midfielders also understand very well how to spoil their attackers. Now Erling Haaland still holds the temporary top scorer for Manchester City and the Premier League.

Manchester City has been scoring goals consistently since his arrival, they are a goal machine, yes I can say that he is unlucky because Haland misses as much as he scores, but the ones he misses are mostly due to bad luck. I love the coach-player interaction, I believe that Guardiola has opened up more of his capacity, Guardiola has done this for many players, player psychology is very important here.

When he first came to Manchester City, I thought he would have adaptation problems, but that was not the case at all. It's a very fast game, thanks to Manchester City's fast formation midfielders, and when it comes to finishing, Halaand handles it without any problems.

Pep Guardiola was very precise and like psychology to bring in Erling Haaland because of Pep Guardiola's belief in perfecting the scheme that wanted to perfect Erling Haaland as a goal machine. Manchester City slowly matured over several seasons and in the end Pep Guardiola implemented it successfully in building a squad that contained like now, so it is not surprising that Pep Guardiola is a coach who is able to make a club like Manchester City a club that must be watched out for and even become a serious threat to its rivals and Premier League clubs.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

I also feel like that, Manchester City will still dominate their meeting with Arsenal and if you look at the results of Manchester City's matches since matchweek 1, they only experienced defeat against Wolves last week. So far strong teams like Newcastle and West Ham have also been defeated by Pep Guardiola's squad and could it be Arsenal's turn this season? Moreover, Manchester City is currently also in its best performance after beating Leipzig again in the Champions League, while Arsenal actually got bad results in the Champions League after losing to Lens. I think the match will be quite fierce and my prediction is a possible score of 1-2 or 2-3 for Manchester City to win.

Arsenal and Manchester city are both in good form and have really done excellently in the premier league this season as they are both amongst the top four teams on the standings, Arsenal has hardly lost a game this season same as Manchester city so I will say to a very great extent they both match up in strength and will definitely give us an entertaining game as it will be a match between two giants of the season.

Manchester city has had a duo loss away against wolves and Newcastle and here they are again to be hosted by Arsenal could it be possible they get a win? I think Manchester city may be able to perform better as their moral is still very high from the win they had in the champions league yesterday where they trashed the German side to a 3-1 defeat in their home.

Arsenal have the home advantage and I hope they utilize it to their advantage, amongst all the teams they have met in the EPL, Manchester city happens to be the only team yet to suffer a loss from Arsenal, Arsenal has suffered only but one loss this season in the premier league, on the standing arsenal is below Manchester city at third position , a familiar occurrence every season.

A home game for Arsenal might be good enough to boost morale but it will still be difficult for them to get 3 points.

Man City has a good record when they meet Arsenal, looking back a little, Arsenal have not been able to win in two consecutive seasons over Man City. However, so far Arsenal are unbeaten in the EPL, and surprisingly Man City dominance had just been broken by Wolves the previous week. Pep Guardiola squad managed to recover in the UCL by winning over Leipzig, unfortunately Arsenal experienced their first defeat against Lens in the UCL. I think the match between Arsenal versus Man City will test the strength of both clubs this season, and who is the favorite despite the surprising defeat they received.

Yes the match will be high-tension, but I feel a draw is fair enough for both of them. Arsenal has the ambition to maintain their unbeaten record in the EPL, Arteta squad has a slight advantage because they play at home. Man City has the ambition to remain at the top of the standings, and Pep want to forget the embarrassing defeat to Wolves.

One of the keys to Tottenham Hotspur success this season lies in the strong leadership of their main coach, Ange Postecoglou who managed to get rid of Tottenham dependence on Harry Kane by implementing a formation that can be changed at any time in the match. He often uses a 4-2-3-1 scheme which places Son as the spearhead, but can change to 4-3-3 depending on the flow of the match.

The 4-2-3-1 formation is very suitable for Tottenham players, in the last match they managed to beat Liverpool in the EPL. Postecoglou has succeeded in motivating Tottenham players to always perform optimally on the field, they have overcome the pressure from their rivals and are always focused on their goal of winning the Premier League title.

We cannot deny that Ange Postecoglou is able to bring Spurs to perform well in the Premier League and rank 2nd in the standings. Even though Spurs have lost their big star, Harry Kane, this doesn't make them slump when they start their match in the new season's competition. But, what Ange Postecoglou did exceeded our expectations for her. Even though this competition has only been held for 7 matches, it is too short to assess it at this time, but there is no harm in giving a little appreciation to the Spurs coach. even if I look at the start of the match, until the last match between Spurs and Liverpool. Ange often tries to rotate his players. but now, Son is always the center forward that Richarlison initially had. Son has scored 6 goals in this match, a good start for him.

Regarding changing the scheme pattern from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3, basically almost every coach does it.  It's just that we rarely realize it. especially, during substitutions. Changing strategies and tactics is a common problem, this is done to get around the opposing team. not much different from what Pep Guardiola does, even Arteta tends to be monotonous with his 4-3-3. however, in the game system, formations can change at any time, whether in defense or attack and this is the form of modern football.
Back again to Spurs, we'll see how far Ange is able to take his squad into competition in the Premier League and whether he will be able to maintain their position in the top four of the standings. we will find out, as the Premier League presents match after match.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

Arsenal vs Manchester City is the biggest EPL game this weekend. Pep Guardiola preparing his squad to face Gunners this weekend, a challenging game for both sides but it's definitely not going to be a draw tie because of the high qualities from these players. Perhaps we won't expect the very best performance from Manchester City at Emirates stadium due to the severe injuries recorded in the team, the same situation happened to Arsenal, watching Bukayo Saka picking up an injury against Lens, having doubts for his unavailable towards City.

Man City had a consistent winning dominance over Arsenal in most of their previous matches and it's obvious Arsenal had strengthened their squad this season and was able to to march Man City in their community shield Arsenal won that game via penalty having put an outstanding performance in contrast with their previous matches which Man City regularly defeated them in regulation time, therefore I think Arsenal would up their game to avoid a repeat of thrashing they usually receive from Man City, definitely it's not going to be a draw game I am predicting either side for a win considering that both teams has injury problems.

[Avirunes]

Arsenal have the home advantage and I hope they utilize it to their advantage, amongst all the teams they have met in the EPL, Manchester city happens to be the only team yet to suffer a loss from Arsenal, Arsenal has suffered only but one loss this season in the premier league, on the standing arsenal is below Manchester city at third position , a familiar occurrence every season.

Yeah Arsenal have the home advantage but in last H2H at home, City have defeated Arsenal with quite a margin. With aside like City and the players they have it's very difficult at home as well. City are very consistent and dominant performers and it's hard to win against them even at home.

I support Arsenal in putting up a strong fight against Manchester City. We all know that Manchester City is a formidable team, but it will take a strong contender to halt their dominance.

I eagerly await a defeat for Manchester City.

Arsenal are very capable one and probably the next strong team after City right now. I am really hoping for Arsenal to win here but it won't be easy as City has taken a defeat in last game and they will be very careful and determined to try to win this game as well.

I think the match will be quite fierce and my prediction is a possible score of 1-2 or 2-3 for Manchester City to win.

If you look at the statistics, it is very difficult for Arsenal to win against Manchester City in every meeting, Manchester City is always superior, Arteta needs to learn a lot from his failures so that when he meets Manchester City he should be much better prepared to prove that Arsenal can beat him, playing at home as the host should be Arsenal is much more favored but in reality Manchester City always manages to steal points.

I believe that Manchester City will continue their winning trend to maintain their position at the top of the standings, especially considering that last week's loss to Wolves certainly made the competition at the top of the standings even fiercer, Manchester City's opportunity to stay away, namely beating Arsenal this week, is a great opportunity. 

However, Manchester City has one disadvantage ahead of the match against Arsenal, their main defensive midfielder, Rodri, is still absent due to a red card in the match against Nottingham. Are Manchester City really confident that Rodri's absence can secure their defense? Moreover, the previous defeat against Wolves was due to their defense being quite fragile. Apart from all that, I think there will be a lot of exciting things in the big match this week. Manchester City may always be ahead of statistics but Arsenal also still has a chance to break this.

[wmaurik]

Arsenal have the home advantage and I hope they utilize it to their advantage, amongst all the teams they have met in the EPL, Manchester city happens to be the only team yet to suffer a loss from Arsenal, Arsenal has suffered only but one loss this season in the premier league, on the standing arsenal is below Manchester city at third position , a familiar occurrence every season.

Arsenal's meeting with Manchester City in the near future is a meeting that will be very interesting because both of them will try to win the match. This is because the points gap between the two is very small, so both teams will try to win in order to gain a lead in the number of points in the standings. I also really want to see Arsenal win at home, because Arsenal very rarely experience victory when they meet Manchester City in the Premier League and I hope that will no longer happen to Arsenal in the near future.

Anyway, I personally remain confident that Manchester City will still win this away match. Although indeed, in the odds factors currently available, the reality is that their odds do not have a big gap. Therefore, of course these two teams have an equally good chance of winning, or maybe it will end in a draw, I think that might happen. But for me personally, because I think that Manchester City certainly has better quality, then I am still confident that Manchester City will win this match, even if only by a narrow score.

[Huppercase]

Onana is good. But I see his arrogance when he moves to play for Manchester United. He was too subjective. Onana should know he is on a big team and must face many strong opponents. Subjectivity will lead to erroneous results.

De Gea is a goalkeeper who has played for Manchester United for 12 consecutive years. He played very well and was voted the best goalkeeper of the year. In the past 1 or 2 years, De Gea has not played as well as before. Erik ten Hag blamed him for his mistakes and boldly decided to get rid of him and bring back Onana. De Gea's mentality is more mature, and his playing quality is on par with Onana.
I think Manchester United is in disarray, causing the players to not perform well compared to their abilities.

There's no good players in the defensive lines of manchester united. All of defenders and its goal keeper played so garbage continuously. Im very happy caused by ten hag was always repeating the same mistake over and over. Does ten hag really know which was the main problem of manchester united? Or he doesn't even care about that? Ten hag was just showing the method about how to go to the europa league as soon as possible.
A great performance from manchester united. Having amrabat gives no impact to the club as the defensive line is still the pathetic lines owned by manchester united at this moment. I would like to call that chelsea's defensive line is far better than manchester united. LMAO.

The rate at which Ten Hag name is screamed on this board, you guys will give him heartache, give him some breathing space I think the problem is from more of the center back than the manager, he can't do more than to train them. Maguire use to be favorite defender of Manchester United is not himself, the available guys are not too good. If Erik has spend money on that back, there spot would by now have some improvement but he instead invested in forward that can't make chance nor score goals in time, Onana cannot help in all situations, you can't fault him all the time.

Ten hag was clueless and he didn't even know what he was doing. Im always questioning my self about till when ten hag will not even be aware if the main problem was on its defenders?
Onana shall be blamed but all of mistakes must be coming from the defenders of manchester united caused by they played the game so poorly. I dunno what they are thinking about once they were in the game.

Wow! That's too much, you sound like a true fan. I get, it's painful to see how Manchester United become a headline of bad performance each week but you never can tell how they can bounce back. They never did well from the start of the season and yet finished first and almost finished second place if not for losing some games along the line. There could be investment of some players if it's get worse by next transfer time.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

It looks like Arsenal is in good form and has the advantage of playing at home, so it will be very difficult for Man City to score a goal at Arsenal's home ground, because Arsenal have not experienced defeat at all in their last match, although I am optimistic that Arsenal will come out as winners, at least not I have doubts about placing a bet on Arsenal, even though Man City is still at the top of the class, that doesn't mean they will continue to dominate the class, there will definitely be mistakes in every match.

[topbitcoin]

Anyway, I personally remain confident that Manchester City will still win this away match. Although indeed, in the odds factors currently available, the reality is that their odds do not have a big gap.

But for me personally, because I think that Manchester City certainly has better quality, then I am still confident that Manchester City will win this match, even if only by a narrow score.

It's not wrong to argue who won this match but the proof will be in the 90 minutes.
Arsenal are still facing problems that are still unsolved especially with some basic mistakes from some of their players so this could be difficult.
As for Manchester City, even though the core and reserve players have extraordinary individual skills but seeing from what happened against Wolves in the previous week we must be aware that the loss of KDB and Rodri makes them even more difficult.
Fortunately, in the match against Arsenal, it is likely that Rodri will return to play, but still in this case 90 minutes are decisive. I personally will choose Manchester City in the odds this time but if there are other people who provide other arguments by choosing Arsenal it also returns to their respective decisions.

[ajiz138]

Arsenal are very capable one and probably the next strong team after City right now. I am really hoping for Arsenal to win here but it won't be easy as City has taken a defeat in last game and they will be very careful and determined to try to win this game as well.

Let's see who wins? 
If I'm not mistaken in important matches these two teams have only lost once - Man City in the EPL to Wolves and Arsenal in the UCL to Lens.
In the English league Man City lost 1x while Arsenal drew 2x, Yeah this is not a bad result for both of them but it is as a more qualified team especially Man City they will definitely believe in visiting the Emirates stadium headquarters.

It is curious that the odds are not much different because Arsenal can still be favored at home.

[skarais]

Arsenal can win their home match but the condition is that Arsenal must be prepared to have a better defense than Manchester City's attacking ability to find opportunities. So far it has been difficult for defenders to stop Manchester City scoring goals, but it is not impossible if they play calmly enough.

Haaland has struggled to score goals in the last two games and he seems highly motivated to do so again against Arsenal. Moreover, the defeat against Wolves should be the reason why Manchester City won the away match, but what will make them most motivated to win is if Tottenham and Liverpool manage to win in their respective matches.

[bitgolden]

I don't see that Manchester City is getting stronger this season, but indeed Manchester City is a team that is quite consistent so they are still favorites to win the Premier League and also the Champions League, but we also have to assess other teams who are stronger this season compared to last season so that it is possible for this team, they can beat Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, these are the 3 teams that at the start of this season look better than last season and this makes it possible for them to compete fiercely with Manchester City.
What is certain is that Manchester City this season will find it more difficult to win the title than last season.

slightly disagree with your opinion, how do you judge if Man City is not too strong this season? have you not seen Man City journey from the start of the season to today competing consistently in the EPL and UCL which is extraordinary? Man City can share their performance to continue pursuing the title they want like last season, even in the EPL they were able to occupy first place in the standings with 4 win and 1 loss and in the UCL they managed to beat Leipzig with a score of 1-3 while Man City played away in that match.

with this achievement, would you say that Man City is not too strong and will have difficulty winning the title like last season?
dont say you judge only by the defeat when playing against Wolves at that time and if you understand football I am sure you understand the coach strategy to maintain the physical quality of his players so that the main players dont perform optimally because they are maintaining their physical condition to appear in the UCL. I hope you will understand more deeply.

I mean they are the team to beat right now and it is always expected of them to have a great result without a doubt. I get that it may not look like that at this time, but I do believe that they are going to keep doing better and better. Sure there are some squad changes and sure there are some injuries and all, but that doesn't change the results for them which is the most important thing.

We should be considering this as the profit maker and should be the most important part. I know that it is going to take a while before people could fairly judge them because they didn't had UCL before, and failed many times when trying, so they may think that the result may not be all that great again this season and last year was a fluke (possibly), but I do not think like that, they are just way too good.

[KTChampions]

Last season there were no less interesting defeats like 0-4 against Brighton or 0-7 against Liverpool  But since then (at least from the game with Brighton) the club has spent 400 million on transfers and Ten Hag got those he wanted. Onana looks like the biggest mistake so far. If De Gea had questions about playing with his feet, then for Onana there is a question: by what can you even play with, buddy?
And Ten Hag’s arguments about psychology, spirit and other nonsense irritate me, it gives the impression that he is incompetent.

Manchester United management paid Ten Hag huge funds to add players of Ten Hag's own choice to the squad. But even then Ten Hag completely failed to strengthen the team. Adding Onana to the squad was probably Ten Hag's mistake. But ten Hag was also wrong to make Hojlund the main striker of the squad this season. United needed an experienced striker. Hojlund is talented but not experienced enough. Hojlund still lacks the ability to consistently perform well and score goals. Perhaps United's performance will be more stable if the injured players in the squad return to the squad. But now they are far behind. I don't think it's possible for Manchester United to get back into the top four of the table.

But Rashford looks even worse now so it's hard to judge. United will certainly rise from 10th place, but when we talk about long-term expectations from United, this is not at all the task that is set for the club every year. It sounds funny now but United must fight for the title. Everything else is failure. And this season United will only fight to get into the European League; they are cosmically far from even the top 4 in terms of quality of play.

[poodle63]

He's still good, just unlucky that's why he not score a lot goals.

Since the league is still long, I believe Haaland will still become a top scorer because there's no one can compete him. In Liverpool, they lack of playmaker. In Arsenal, Saka is injured. There's no more extraordinary player, Hojlund? his teammates can't support him.

The English Premier League is competitive, nevertheless Erling Haaland survived and prospered in his first season at Manchester City; there are further milestones to be broken by the Norway international who is confrontational and adeptly positioned in front of goals. The only guy I can think of who would compete for the most goals is Harry Kane, who is now no longer at Tottenham Hotspur. Erling Haaland receives crucial assistance from Manchester City players. He's the team's main striker, and Pep Guardiola has turned him into goal-scoring machine who will pose significant dangers to his opponents. Manchester City will play Arsenal next, which will be a difficult encounter for both teams.

Erling Haaland managed to show the quality of his game since he first joined Manchester City. The success of this player was also greatly helped by the play of teammates who played equally well, also the coach also gave a big contribution to his success, because he (Pep) knew how to take advantage of the abilities of this one player.

haaland is still underperform. His performance was not as impressive as last season. Missing KDB was giving very big impact for him since KDB was always able helping him in scoring so many goals.
Haaland will be also missing rodri in the match against arsenal. Halaand was not so consistently scoring this season unlike the previous season. Im doubting if haaland will able to break his last season's record. His performance was not as good as last season or im seeing him unlucky enough this season.
I hope haaland will able to discover his best again caused by manchester city really needs him at this moment to defend its UCL trophy as well as EPL trophy.
It's very bad to see KDB will be missing so many matches till the end of season, im praying for him to come back as soon as possible. KDB is the only right partner for haaland and he was able giving  haaland so many great assists.
KDB is a key to dig haaland's potential.

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

Arsenal vs Manchester City is the biggest EPL game this weekend. Pep Guardiola preparing his squad to face Gunners this weekend, a challenging game for both sides but it's definitely not going to be a draw tie because of the high qualities from these players. Perhaps we won't expect the very best performance from Manchester City at Emirates stadium due to the severe injuries recorded in the team, the same situation happened to Arsenal, watching Bukayo Saka picking up an injury against Lens, having doubts for his unavailable towards City.

Man City had a consistent winning dominance over Arsenal in most of their previous matches and it's obvious Arsenal had strengthened their squad this season and was able to to march Man City in their community shield Arsenal won that game via penalty having put an outstanding performance in contrast with their previous matches which Man City regularly defeated them in regulation time, therefore I think Arsenal would up their game to avoid a repeat of thrashing they usually receive from Man City, definitely it's not going to be a draw game I am predicting either side for a win considering that both teams has injury problems.

Last season, Arsenal also had consistent and very good performance, but Arteta's squad was still unable to beat Man City last season. Maybe this season will be different. But it will be quite difficult to predict which team will be the favorite in the match between these two clubs this time. Because Man City is currently experiencing injury problems. But still Man City is always strong even with the second tier of players they have.

But somehow I now have a feeling that the home team, namely Arsenal, will be able to make things difficult for Man City. Because Arteta definitely won't want to continue to experience defeat in the Premier League by Man City. Because without being able to beat Man City, Arsenal's hopes of winning the Premier League title are very slim.

Saka did suffer a muscle injury. But I don't think it's serious at all. So maybe he will still be able to play for the Arsenal squad against Man City. Although I'm not sure either. But I hope so.
