Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

Liverpool drew away to Brighton and left 2 points on the table. Despite leading at half time they couldn't hold on to their lead and drew. I wouldn't have expected Brighton, who conceded 6 goals against Aston Villa, to be too focused in the Liverpool game but it looks like they recovered from that heavy defeat with ease. Both teams had European commitments during the week and were visibly tired.
In another game with the same scoreline Newcastle drew 2-2 away to West Ham. Newcastle, who managed to beat PSG with an excellent game during the week, failed to win this away game despite taking the lead. Despite losing the first half, Newcastle started the second half fast and scored 2 goals in 5 minutes with Isak, but they couldn't prevent the goal in the last minutes and drew.

This result was expected, we know how dangerous Brighton are from last season and they are replicating the same attitude of toughness this season making it very difficult for top teams to get a win against them. Playing away for Liverpool it was likely that the game will finish in a draw and so it was. The same as Newcastle United and westham, an expectated draw match which I don’t consider a bad result at all for all four clubs.

I think, at this moment it seems that it will still be difficult to predict for their match, because it seems that they don't have a stable performance. But even though they look like they are unstable, but at least they can still make a result that is at least good with a draw. About Newcastle for example, because of their big win in the Champions League against PSG then of course, it makes Newcastle look like they have better quality than West Ham. But in fact, it is not as easy to predict their results in the Premier League right now, and therefore they look unstable but at the same time they have the ability to still get points even only with a draw result.

Brighton could still one point from liverpool unlike when it was facing westham or newcastle. Losing sanchez and caicedo at the same time was really giving very big impact to the club. I can't even describe how bad the situation faced by brighton this time but i must say if zerbi needs to put more motivation to his club, the draw against liverpool is proving if brighton has not yet lost its capability to be a hard opponent for the big club.
Im guessing if brighton was not lucky enough in the previous match. The club may make its comeback soon

There must be some rotations to happen. The defensive line must be strengthened. Ferguson looked like an overrated striker at this moment, yet his moment when scoring a few goals in a row has been forcing many people to put their focus on him.
Im thinking about he will able to become even better than before. He was still young anf ferguson can also try to pure more effort to make it happen.

[SmartCharpa]

That's true and happens to any player when they make a mistake that results in their team losing. Maguire, Onana and Lindelof were always associated with Manchester United's poor performance this season when they played, McTominay was even one of the scapegoats when Manchester United suffered defeat. But after he scored two sensational goals in that match he was praised to the skies and fans quickly forgot what they had said before. In two matches, Maguire played well, he found his composure again and did not make too fatal mistakes.

Maguire must gain confidence if he wants to get out of the situation of distrust from many people and if he is able to play well like in the previous two matches then I am sure he will return to his best playing form. Erik Ten Hak must give him the opportunity to prove himself and this is a good opportunity because several key players are injured, so the opportunity to play will be quite big for him if he is able to perform consistently.

You are correct. Harry Maguire brought a big win to the club with the assist he made, some fans have forgotten the mistakes he has made from their past games but the mistakes can be repeated but we can see his performance in the next match. Even McTominay played poorly most of the time that Manchester United are losing, I am sure that he must be praised the club may even reward him for the victory he bring to the club.

Not just the players are Manchester United's issue. Ten Hag's is to blame for everything; he can't just purchase a center back and expect the team to keep winning. Marcus Rashford was the main target for Manchester United because he always held the ball and didn't want to pass it to Rasmus Hojlund, who is the best striker, I believe he can do the best. Rashford does not deserve to stay at that club in January and should be sel. He claimed he would score 40 goals this season, but I believe he has only scored 1, which is why he won't throw the ball to anyone who claims they can do it. Jadon Sancho needs to leave the club the following season; Onana was not at blame; the team simply needs to set a high standard.

On paper Arsenal should be able to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, their relatively stable performance this season reached its peak when they managed to beat Man City. On the other hand, Chelsea is just showing signs of a revival in performance after experiencing ups and downs, they achieved positive results in the last two matches over Fulham and Burnley. Chelsea and Arsenal have almost equal squad depth, but the strength of the two clubs so far is very different, Arsenal sits in second place while Chelsea is ranked eleventh. In short, Arsenal has a better and bigger chance of getting three points, for Chelsea the most realistic target is to hold Arsenal to a draw.

On the other hand, this London derby match will only be held after the second period of the international break, Arteta and Pochettino have lots of time to prepare everything for their respective teams. It is possible that several injured Chelsea players will be available again, but of course it would be too risky if Pochettino immediately made them starters in the starting XI when facing Arsenal.

Even though they are playing at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home ground, Arsenal's chances of winning are quite big. We can see it realistically that these two teams now have different qualities, apart from Chelsea's current revival which has managed to win in its last 2 matches, but in my opinion overall The quality of the Chelsea team is far behind Arsenal this season.

Moreover Arsenal have just won a big match against Manchester City which has definitely made the mentality and self-confidence of Arteta's men improve.

 They're currently on the break and alot of their players would be on International duties and the both coaches would be hoping their players involved stay fit to be selected against the derby match, both teams needs to win and would therefore need the help of their key players to give them a boost in wining the match, however Chelsea's home advantage gives them more better chance.

[topbitcoin]

I noticed the same thing and looking from the situation in this match especially in the statistics the situation is really visible and Manchester City is not like them in general and this match is Manchester City's worst match at the beginning of this season. Even though Arsenal is a club that can be considered quite comparable but I think Manchester City should be better than this.

2 matches without Rodri showed defeat for Manchester City, in the next week they will face Brighton and still without KDB who is still injured and cannot be confirmed his recovery and Rodri who still has to receive a penalty of 1 more playing ban due to his red card.

Even though Manchester City's performance was disrupted due to the absence of Rodri, Stone and De Bruyne, this did not have to be the reason they had to suffer 3 defeats in 4 consecutive matches. Manchester City has many quality players in their squad and they have to work harder to do something that benefits their team even without important players.

I think Manchester City players must take advantage of Haaland who has had difficulty finding his best performance so far. Haaland hasn't scored a goal in a few games and that's definitely not something good from him. Manchester City's current concentration of play looks different compared to last season, I don't know what the problem is, but on several occasions I saw Haaland not getting the ball that he should have been able to use for a goal.

We'll see that when Manchester City face Brighton. It's not an easy match either and when Pep still can't anticipate losing Rodri and KDB in midfield then it could be a big problem just like before.
Manchester City have players who have above-average skills and no one doubts that but when they lose a good initiator and organizer of attacks from midfield then indeed their good players are a little covered because the rhythm they are tryng to build is not going well.
Haaland will have to try harder in the match against Brighton because the opposing players know that when Haaland is released, it will be dangerous for them so full guard will definitely happen again for this player.

I am sure Arteta is not very happy about the break. I guess he would have loved to keep playing as his team is equipped with so much confidence now. But I think that Arsenal has now demonstrated their real strength. They did not only win the game against Manchester City, but they were also the better team, which I think is more important to Arteta than the result because it could have a long lasting effect on his team. Winning a game with luck might have a temporary effect, but when you play against Manchester City and are the deserved winner in the end, that's what really improves the confidence level of a team. So surely Arsenal will go to Stamford Bridge with no other plans but to win the game dominantly.

Of course, Arsenal will not be happy with this break because the whole team has found unity. They were in harmony and won the victory by playing more ambitiously against Manchester City, who took the league cup from them last year. Pep's student Arteta once again showed that he did not waste his self-confidence with this victory. As a good week leaves behind in the Premier League, this defeat of Manchester City will remain in our minds.

[makishart]

That's right, Manchester City have been unlucky in recent weeks because they lost Rodri and we can see that the consecutive defeats from Wolves to Arsenal were all due to Rodri's absence. From the start, Manchester City seemed to have lost a midfielder who could regulate the rhythm of the match or even a midfielder who could organize attacks and I agree with your opinion. Haaland also can't do anything without his midfielders and as one of the great strikers he has one weakness when he is closely guarded by opposing defenders so he can't find a way to get out of that barrier.

In the next match, Rodri will be free from his card and he will strengthen Manchester City again, while KDB is likely to see him return to defend Manchester City in the middle of the season considering his injury is quite serious.

Losing these two players is indeed quite influential on Manchester City's performance, but it indicates that the Manchester City team this season is not ready for player rotation so I think this is not unlucky for Manchester City but rather a decline in performance this season, even though it is a little.
However, I believe that Pep Guardiola will be able to revive the performance of the Manchester City team, currently it is still early in the season and the journey of this season is still very long and everything is possible, a decline and increase in performance in a team is quite normal.

It's just the matter of time. Many people were also doubting the performance from manchester city last season but they were surprised once city took the EPL for three times in a row. We are still at the early weeks of EPL. There will be so many chances to come for manchestert city.

KDB and rodri will come back again in the future and this will be a disaster for manchester city. People are just focusing into the totenham and arsenal right now. Those guys will forget it once arsenal and totenham will be facing crisis due to the injury.
We are still very far from the end of season but the atmosphere seems quite crazy caused by arsenal and totenham are the only clubs that are still being unbeatable till this time.

I will be surprised if manchester city will able to make its comeback once again. Manchester city can have its rocket turned on at the end of season.

Im waiting for the best performance from some players of manchester city. We may see another surprise to happen soon.

[FanEagle]

United has absolutely no way that they could fight for the top four, I believe that it will not be anywhere near that level and they should not be considering that as an option neither. I think it's clear that we are going to end up with something that would be a little bit different and should be something that will look a bit differently. I hope that people could approach this subject clearly because United has shown everyone how terrible they are and because of that if you still have hopes about them then you are going to be pretty upset about it by the end of the season as well.

You should see what the yare showing you, and how terrible they are and then accept the fact that they are not going to do well at all. They will end u with a position that would be better than this for sure, but not much better, I am guessing a sixth place would be more than what they bargain for so far and I think would be the best thing they could do at this point as well.

This result was expected, we know how dangerous Brighton are from last season and they are replicating the same attitude of toughness this season making it very difficult for top teams to get a win against them. Playing away for Liverpool it was likely that the game will finish in a draw and so it was. The same as Newcastle United and westham, an expectated draw match which I don’t consider a bad result at all for all four clubs.

In fact, I predicted in a previous post that Brighton would make things difficult for Jurgen Klopp's squad in that match. In fact, sometimes this team's performance is unstable when playing against teams that are much weaker. However, when Brighton meets quite strong teams, it is not uncommon for them to play very impressively. It was proven that they were able to hold Liverpool to a draw. and previously, I favored De Zerbi's squad when they hosted Liverpool. However, it is not without reason that I say that in my considerations. The reason is that several Liverpool players had to be absent, apart from being injured, two of them were suspended due to red cards. Plus this match was played at Brighton headquarters. had taken the lead in the 20th minute, but unfortunately Liverpool was able to respond in the 40th minute and increase their lead in the 45+ minute. and in the end, the match became a draw after Lewis Dunk equalized. It's a shame, Brighton should have received a penalty when the Liverpool defender's hand touched the ball. on the other hand, 1 Liverpool player's shot hit the goalpost. So, let's wait for Brighton to visit Anfield, Liverpool's headquarters.

As for the other match, between West Ham vs Newcastle. This match is almost similar to the Brighton vs Liverpool match. I mean, West Ham took the lead in the 8th minute and Newcastle managed to equalize and even reverse the lead. but in the end, David Moyes' squad was able to equalize the score at 2-2 from a goal scored by Mohammed Kudus. In fact, Newcastle's performance is starting to get back on track. but unfortunately, after playing 4 winning matches in two different competitions, they had to be held to a draw by West Ham. which in the end both teams must share 1 point equally.

Guardiola admitting that one of the caused why Manchester City lose from Arsenal last week is because the absense of Rodri and besides that with the injured of De Bruyne also make Haaland performance a bit decrease which make he was looks difficult to scores in the last few matches and this also had affected to the performance of Manchester City because we all know for front lines Manchester City was too rely on Halland to scores goals so often and about their upcoming match against Brighton actually Brighton condition is similar to them even worst because after lose with big scores from Aston Villa then Brighton seems feel difficult to bounce back and after seeing these conditions i think Manchester City will be able return to winning ways and beat Brighton

We know how competitive English Premier League can be most times, definitely in the categories of one of the toughest league in European football. I wouldn't blamed Manchester United for poor performance this season because other elite teams are also experiencing it. United just have to stick to a particular game strategy that would work effectively for them and also signed the necessary players other than settling for lesser results. Manchester United are currently #10 on EPL table with a terrible performance this season. All fingers pointing to Erik Ten Hag for the poor condition of the Red Devils as he looks forward to ginger his team.

Yeah Arsenal are on top form right now and Chelsea are still trying to find their form. Arsenal are clear favourites but I also wouldn't undermine Chelsea here as derby games are high intensity fixtures and despites how favourites or underdogs they are they mostly have surprises or take a turn at the last moment in the game. At Stamford it will be different but Gooners also have gotten strong since Arsenal start showing strong performances.

They're currently on the break and alot of their players would be on International duties and the both coaches would be hoping their players involved stay fit to be selected against the derby match, both teams needs to win and would therefore need the help of their key players to give them a boost in wining the match, however Chelsea's home advantage gives them more better chance.

Chelsea have been struggling and with game at home they will certainly be advantage but lately they haven't been able to show strong game at home.

[piebeyb]

Im waiting for the best performance from some players of manchester city. We may see another surprise to happen soon.

I think Manchester City's second defeat must recognize the importance of Rodri and KDB's role, so I think all fans must recognize that, but on the bright side, when Manchester City experiences consecutive defeats, the competition at the top of the standings becomes even fiercer, because if Manchester City continues on the path victory will not look attractive in the EPL this season, so Manchester City needs to give in to the current difficult situation. because Haaland didn't seem to play well in the match against Arsenal yesterday and Manchester City doesn't always have to rely on him.

Tottenham and Arsenal might be more worthy of being above Manchester City. Hopefully they will be consistent until the end of the season so that they don't lose out again to Manchester City, where they always give surprises at the end of the season. Of course, Manchester City needs to wait for their key players to return to play. I won't be surprised if Manchester City ends up winning the EPL again this season.

I think Erik Ten Hag pushes the boundaries too much. He was criticized a lot, especially after the Galatasaray defeat. Additionally, the expected performance from Onana was not achieved. Manchester United lost a lot of points because of Onana's individual mistakes. It's too bad they're in 10th place in the Premier League because the fans have no more patience.

After all, before Erik ten Hag became head coach of Manchester United, basically Manchester United never succeeded in competing in the top four in the standings, right. However, after Erik ten Hag became head coach of Manchester United, in his first season last season Erik ten Hag managed to produce good results for Manchester United. So yes, if for example Manchester United quickly made the decision to sack Erik ten Hag at this moment, I think that wouldn't be a fair decision. Because basically it has always been difficult for Manchester United to be consistent after the Sir Alex Ferguson era, so I think try to give Erik ten Hag time at least until the end of this season who know, maybe Manchester United can recover a little.

Whether you have studied the table from past seasons or not, I don't know, but

basically Manchester United never succeeded in competing in the top four in the standings

is wrong. Manchester United finished the season 20/21 as 2nd, 19/20 as 3rd, so there was basically only one season in between when Erik ten Hag was not the manager and Manchester United finished the season as 6th.

It's not about fairness in that business, it is about results at some point. Ten Hag didn't get sacked so far and he is given a chance by the board, but there will be a tipping point when decisions have to be made for the benefit of the club. If he wastes the chance in the Champions League and if he falls further behind in the Premier League, what choices does the board have then?

[kamvreto]

Even though they are playing at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home ground, Arsenal's chances of winning are quite big. We can see it realistically that these two teams now have different qualities, apart from Chelsea's current revival which has managed to win in its last 2 matches, but in my opinion overall The quality of the Chelsea team is far behind Arsenal this season.

Moreover Arsenal have just won a big match against Manchester City which has definitely made the mentality and self-confidence of Arteta's men improve.

The debut game between Arsenal and Chelsea is very interesting and tough for both parties and no side would like to concede,well Arsenal would definitely be the favorites to win the game, based on their current performance and the fact that they've won against Manchester in their previous game would give them a boost of confidence to do better against Chelsea away from home.

 They're currently on the break and alot of their players would be on International duties and the both coaches would be hoping their players involved stay fit to be selected against the derby match, both teams needs to win and would therefore need the help of their key players to give them a boost in wining the match, however Chelsea's home advantage gives them more better chance.

I am sure Arteta is not very happy about the break. I guess he would have loved to keep playing as his team is equipped with so much confidence now. But I think that Arsenal has now demonstrated their real strength. They did not only win the game against Manchester City, but they were also the better team, which I think is more important to Arteta than the result because it could have a long lasting effect on his team. Winning a game with luck might have a temporary effect, but when you play against Manchester City and are the deserved winner in the end, that's what really improves the confidence level of a team. So surely Arsenal will go to Stamford Bridge with no other plans but to win the game dominantly.

Of course, Arsenal will not be happy with this break because the whole team has found unity. They were in harmony and won the victory by playing more ambitiously against Manchester City, who took the league cup from them last year. Pep's student Arteta once again showed that he did not waste his self-confidence with this victory. As a good week leaves behind in the Premier League, this defeat of Manchester City will remain in our minds.

Of course, Arteta was not in vain during his struggle to become a manager at Arsenal, so the victory that Arsenal had not achieved for a long time against Manchester City for many years, now Arsenal has achieved it, Arsenal has proven that they can win back that victory.
From 2015 until now, when Arsenal met against Manchester City in the Premium League, Arsenal always lost until finally Arsenal broke the curse (losing for years). and this was also Mikel Arteta's first win as a manager in the match against Manchester City in the Premium League.

But I think that Arsenal has now demonstrated their real strength. They did not only win the game against Manchester City, but they were also the better team, which I think is more important to Arteta than the result because it could have a long lasting effect on his team. Winning a game with luck might have a temporary effect, but when you play against Manchester City and are the deserved winner in the end, that's what really improves the confidence level of a team. So surely Arsenal will go to Stamford Bridge with no other plans but to win the game dominantly.

Of course, Arsenal will not be happy with this break because the whole team has found unity. They were in harmony and won the victory by playing more ambitiously against Manchester City, who took the league cup from them last year. Pep's student Arteta once again showed that he did not waste his self-confidence with this victory. As a good week leaves behind in the Premier League, this defeat of Manchester City will remain in our minds.

It's up to 8 years(2015) since Arsenal recorded their last win over Manchester City in the premier league. An outstanding victory over Manchester City would be a noteworthy achievement that the Arsenal team and supporters would never forget. I don't think they will be unhappy but rather be happy as they have their first win against Manchester City after years, and still going to use this week's rest to be ready for Chelsea.
Arteta has been looking for a victory over Manchester City since. They will be more motivated to win the Premier League this season after losing it last season to Manchester City.
