Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[SmartCharpa]

With Manchester City having lost their last two English Premier League matches, many are worried about what they will do against Brighton. 
Brighton are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League but they don't seem to be able to do well against Manchester City in this match. Manchester City are already under a lot of pressure after dropping points in the last two matches so the match against Brighton is very important for them and they will never want to drop points in this match. Another positive for Manchester City is that this match will be played at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City are favorites against any team. Brighton can lose against Manchester City by a big margin in this match.

I can't doubt Brighton's performance against Manchester City because they are a very strong team. As we all know, their performances always become stronger than we ever think. I can remember how they played against Liverpool. I do not believe that they were able to draw against Liverpool, and it happened. They are very strong, and I can see that they can compete with any club in the Premier League. If not for the penalty that Liverpool against them, Brighton would have gotten 3 points against them. Manchester City performances have become bad since the absence of Kelvin De Bruyne, so I can see that Brighton against Manchester City will be a big challenge, even though the match will be played at the Etihad Stadium.

I've heard rumours that Manchester City is interested in acquiring Toni Kroos from Real Madrid when his contract with the team expired in January. Did we think that would be successful? I don't think Real Madrid would let Kroos go since he is the best midfielder who always used to pass the ball to the front players of Real Madrid, and many of the forward players of Real Madrid will never forget Kroos because he truly helped them score goals. And to be honest, I think that's why Manchester City wants to sign him and even wants to pay him more than he currently makes with Real Madrid. However, now that I think about it, I think Real Madrid could use this chance to acquire one tougher player from Manchester City in exchange because they need one. I advise Real Madrid to acquire Haaland or Alvarez.

If the rumor regarding the acquisition of Toni Kroos from Real Madrid is true I believe Pep Guardiola has chosen to act in the greatest interest of the team's continued success. Despite his advanced age, Kroos is a fantastic midfielder who Manchester City would need to acquire in order to replace De Bruyne because he is not always available. He is proceeding to the club because of this. Now they need a player like Kroos, and I think he can give the team its greatest performance.
Real Madrid won't likely request any Manchester City players in return for Toni Kroos, in my opinion. They currently have all the personnel they require, including guys who can score goals for the team and midfielders other than Toni Kroos. If the sale goes through, I think Real Madrid will only trade Kroos due of his efforts and multiple wins for the team.

In the latest statement, one of the Red Devils' defenders, Lindelof, has expressed his desire to continue strengthening Manchester United for a very long time and even though his contract only ends in 2025, he is very confident that Manchester United will provide a new deal before that time comes. I think actually Lindelof is not too bad as a back-up defender and sometimes he can be relied on well when the main player is injured or absent due to a card penalty.

Lindelof's role is very central and I think he is much better than Harry Maguire. But his time with Manchester United only has 2 seasons remaining and if Manchester United don't want to keep him at Old Trafford, maybe he will have to leave as a free agent in the end.

Not so good for Manchester United not forgetting the qualities he poseess,confident and good with the ball and like you mentioned a good background defender.
He is a better defender to Maguire and should get more minutes if he doesn't leave. Man United are chasing new defenders he may as well be among  the list of players to be sold out.
Inter Milan brought a good fee for him to be bought but Man United coach declined the offer. Two years and he can still be sold he hasn't really influenced Man United defense.

So far it also seems that the Glazer family has not fully succeeded in improving the quality of Manchester United's performance, or maybe they only rely on profits from business and not for an achievement. It is very unfortunate indeed when Sheikh Jassim offer is not accepted because of course, with Sheikh Jassim love for Manchester United, of course Sheikh Jassim will be able to make Manchester United better. So yes, with these factors, then I think Manchester United at this time certainly have to accept the fact because in fact, the situation and condition of Manchester United has again become bad and certainly quite worrying.

The Glazers to me don't need to do anything concerning the performance of UTD, they're just businessmen so if you saying something about improvement, I feel they should channel it to development of some of those facilities like Ronaldo said on his interview.
These Glazers only care about the money they make and I believe if they let go of these position as the owners I have that feeling that the new owner(s) would turn things around for good and it will definitely affect the performance (positively) of the players because to me they're all not happy with the current situation of the club. I just wish the club is been sold as soon as possible.

[Spaceman1000$]

Player who injured is definitely will affect the result since the substitute player isn't as good as the main line up, I only talk about the skill while chemistry, strategy etc also give a big effect to other players. Not many teams have a balance main line up and substitute player, I think only Brighton have this, whoever who play, the result will not be different.

Let's see how Brighton faces Manchester City this week at the Etihad Stadium, because currently Manchester City's appearance is starting to look different even though it is still strong enough to win. But if Brighton can beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, this will actually be extraordinary for Brighton because it will continue to create increasingly exciting competition in the Premier League standings table. However, I am also still not sure about Brighton in terms of beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

With Manchester City having lost their last two English Premier League matches, many are worried about what they will do against Brighton. 
Brighton are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League but they don't seem to be able to do well against Manchester City in this match.

Another positive for Manchester City is that this match will be played at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City are favorites against any team. Brighton can lose against Manchester City by a big margin in this match.

That will be a crucial match for Man City post the international break. As fans, we're hoping for a victory. Playing at the Etihad Stadium, Man City should be the favorites and should secure a comfortable win. Anyway good news is that some injured players are expected to be back, giving Pep with an opportunity to choose the best lineup. Brighton is a strong team with the potential to beat anyone. Summing up Man City's recent losses in the English Premier League, they'll likely be highly motivated to get all three points in their home game against Brighton.

Of course Manchester city are currently on high spirit, Brighton wouldn't stand a chance in the Etihad stadium, though this is the game of football where anything can happen, we shouldn't be surprised that Brighton might just pick a point or three 😁 at the end of the day. Because even when wolves did the unthinkable, nobody expected it.
But then pep guardiola going by his kind of person, will be vexed with the current situation of his team, so I believe pep will be coming up with a mad formation to demolish Brighton on Saturday.

Yes indeed as a businessman, their priority is money not achievement, although maybe they want achievement, but it will not be as big as when they want a profit. as a football lover, actually I regret things like this, I mean club owners should also be people who love football and a title, so that when they own a club then they will not be half and half in realizing it. When there are restrictions on spending during the transfer market it is one form of them not fully realizing achievements at Manchester United. I don't mind that, but the amount they budgeted in my opinion is too little, especially since their financial situation is also not in a very bad condition.

[AakZaki]

Was Ten Hag's decision to dump De Gea and buy Onana the best decision? I don't think so. He has conceded 19 times in 11 matches. Pretty bad stats with fantastic transfer prices. Even Onana also did not only make one mistake resulting in a goal. I don't blame him all, because their defence is not very good either. But it seems that Ten Hag's football philosophy is not entirely running smoothly. Many supporters hope De Gea can return to Man United.

[topbitcoin]

Rodri's punishment will end in 1 more match against Brighton so I think this has also given Manchester City back a sense of security, it's just that for KDB it looks like Manchester City will have to wait longer.
The first 2 matches lost actually I think this is even though it is troublesome but it will not be a problem because they will stay on track, it's just that without Rodri and KDB against Brighton it is clear that this will again be a troublesome match especially with the absenc of a replacement and a suitable formation at this time and Brighton's strength which is currently quite good then this will be tiring again for Manchester City and this could also be  disturbing for their points.   

The experience Manchester City is going through due to the absence of Rodri and Kevin De Bruyn should be a lesson to them. There is a need to groom a replacement that can stand for them during their absence or buy some player. Pep Guardiola should also change his strategy because teams are now aware that without these two players, the team is highly deficient, so if I were a coach, De Bruyn and Rodri would be my main targets. Brighton has not been a good side in the past few games, they lost games against Chelsea and heavily against Aston Villa. But it was an impressive display in their last game against Liverpool when they were to secure a draw against a very well-fortified side. Coach Roberto De Zerbi has always proved tactically sound, so City should expect a good fight in Etihad. 

But indeed things like this rarely happen, it's just that when it happens it will be troublesome for Manchester City.
The possibility of looking for other alternatives may still be possible, it's just that this will create a buildup of midfielders, I think rather than like that it would be better for Pep to look for new attack alternatives by doing several schemes not only about the flow of the ball like they always do, even though it is risky but events like this rarely happen and Rodri can also still return to play in week 10 later, it's just that for Brighton they will definitely still lose Rodri and there must be alternatives from several other midfielders as good rhythm setters now.

Erik Ten Hag have been making crucial mistakes in Old Trafford since his appointment as headcoach for the Red Devils. Manchester United supporters just hoped he would be able to amend the current condition of the team because things are actually not moving according his plans and they're conceding goals in every game played both EPL and UEFA Champions League. Signing André Onana as a backup replacement for David de Gea was such a terrible mistakes which won't have happen if Erik Ten Hag gave listening ears to the spaniard goalkeeper. Perhaps there's absolutely nothing he can do because the mistakes is already done, what he would do is simply surf for the solid solutions to the team's difficulties.

[Furious 7]

Chelsea against Arsenal and Manchester City against Brighton are the matches that I am most looking forward to in this case because I think it will be very interesting even though in the end I will be in the Arsenal and Manchester City camp but I think Brighton and Chelsea will definitely give a good fight in this match.

Both Chelsea and Brighton are in a bad form, I don't think they can able to give a good fight against those two big teams.

Overall for Chelsea, they are still bad, it's just that to see from the statistics of the last 2 matches with victory, this should still be wary.
As for Brighton with the last 2 matches 1 draw and 1 loss actually this is still the same as usual because they are always full of surprises even last week they faced Liverpool and could win 1 point it did not show a bad performance especially with 8 matches 5 wins 1 draw and 2 losses for a club that can be said to be a dark horse it is very good it does not look like they are bad in this case.

I also have a little doubt regarding the Toni Kroos transfer rumors, from the player side there has been no statement whatsoever. However, judging from an opportunity perspective, Man City could offer a short-term contract for a player who will be 34 at the end of the season, and a commensurate salary. But the consideration is that Kroos may not get more playing time in Pep Guardiola main squad, something he expects from Ancelotti in the Madrid squad. Man City midfield competition is also very competitive, even though in terms of experience Kroos is superior to other players, but age no longer supports him staying in the same league, let alone playing in a league that is known to be very competitive namely the EPL.

If he is only used as a cover player in the Man City squad, I think Kroos would be better off staying in Madrid, because it's the same for him. Because we know that SPL has a better and more tempting offer, an opportunity that might also come to him in the next transfer market.

I believe that he would definitely do wonders there, he is a good player and played at high level for a long time and he is still relatively young, not too much but he could do like 1 or 2 more years, if he goes there at the half winter break, then they could get about 2.5 seasons out of him if you ask me, maybe even more. That wouldn't be a starting eleven type of player, because they do not need one right now, but they could definitely use him as a bench player who would play instead of anyone at any midfield position.

Like right now how KDB is injured and not playing, Kroos would have been playing there and he is a UCL winner level player as well so it wouldn't be a bad deal for them neither and should consider it.

But it seems that Ten Hag's football philosophy is not entirely running smoothly. Many supporters hope De Gea can return to Man United.

I think returning De Gea is something that is impossible, because basically Manchester United is not making efforts to keep De Gea as in the past. Because in the past, when Real Madrid wanted to sign De Gea but Manchester United made great efforts to keep De Gea with a new contract. But at this moment, it seems that Manchester United is no longer interested in De Gea because yes, it is also possible that Manchester United is trying to create a young squad that is targeted for the long term even though it is not going well so far.

Brighton can lose against Manchester City by a big margin in this match.

Manchester City are coming back to defeat many clubs after the international break I don't think Manchester City will lose or draw against Brighton, Manchester City are better than them and they have many key players that will perform well in the match, I don't think they will make any mistakes that will allow Brighton to defeat them, I am very confident Guardiola will do everything possible to win the match so that they can continue chasing the first position in the Premier League table, Because if Manchester City loses another point against Brighton i will say they will be unable to win the league again because Arsenal and Tottenham will close the gap in the table However, Manchester City is playing at Etihad Stadium I do not believe they will lose the match because they are very good at home they have destroyed many top clubs there.

Was Ten Hag's decision to dump De Gea and buy Onana the best decision? I don't think so. He has conceded 19 times in 11 matches. Pretty bad stats with fantastic transfer prices. Even Onana also did not only make one mistake resulting in a goal. I don't blame him all, because their defence is not very good either. But it seems that Ten Hag's football philosophy is not entirely running smoothly. Many supporters hope De Gea can return to Man United.

Exactly i did not too blame onana, the problem with onana he have too much confident with the ball is playing with the ball to much in the pitch and make on necessary passes, when is in inter millan he perform well
And everyone like how he perform in the match against Manchester City in the champion league, Manchester United problem is from the defenders they are performing poorly and that will make the goalkeeper perform badly since the starting of the season Manchester United have many problems and Ten Hag's need to resolve the issue if they want to perform well like last season, because what they play last season is more beneficial then this season even Rushford Is not playing well again they need to find another alternative.

I feel pressure is too much at United. It's not an easy environment there. I find signing a bit unnecessary but since they have done it then it's even worse going back to sign De Gea back again. It's better to stick Onana and give him time to adjust and be more confident protecting the net. Signing De Gea will not happen no matter how much supporters want it to happen. Sorry but it just sounds ridiculous to make a signing of 50m Euro and ditch a player who served them for more than a decade and then ditch the player they signed for a 50m and go onto get that player again.

But if Brighton can beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, this will actually be extraordinary for Brighton because it will continue to create increasingly exciting competition in the Premier League standings table. However, I am also still not sure about Brighton in terms of beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Playing at home gave city advantage despite the fact many players are absent due to the injury. It's quite impossible to expect brighton to beat city at etihad but the chance is still there. I would rather than believe if city will beat brighton with narrow score instead of brighton beat city. The odds was pretty good for manchester city cuased by bookies were aware with the performance of manchester city at this moment. City got 1.45 which mean if bookies are not fully trusting city here.
It must be less than it if bookies was showing its confidence for city to win the game against brighton. Im not expecting city to win with huge margins caused by the club is still struggling to beat arsenal in the last match.
Even though city is in advantage but im not yet feeling confidence with the performance if city.

 Sacking Ten  Hag won't change anything but rather would even cause more problems for the team cause the new coach might even find it more difficult to work under the glaziers that are only interested in the financial benefits they're getting from the club instead of making investments to help it grow.

No one can know this for sure. Maybe the new coach really won’t be able to change much since Ten Hag has already made mistakes that are difficult to correct - for example, buying Onana is definitely a mistake. For the new coach to be able to fix anything, he must take part in at least one transfer cycle, and given the fact that United has already spent a lot at Ten Hag’s request, new serious acquisitions will have to wait at least until the summer.

Manchester City is still the best in England and I don't that because they were unable to win their last two matches will make it difficult for them to win Brighton. Brighton might be very strong this season but not when they will be facing the defending champion of the league. Manchester City will humble them in that match.

Brighton has surprised people this season with their superb performance and I know that they will also display such performance against Manchester City. If Manchester City relent in pressuring Brighton and take advantage of the game, it is possible that Brighton might become difficult for Manchester City to win.

[Blitzboy]

Maybe this time nothing will be different. Injuries to several players have indeed caused Man City to experience a slight decline, but this is definitely only temporary and when the players recover, Man City will return to their best performance. But if injuries attack other core players again, perhaps Man City won't get many trophies this season.

I'm a bit uncertain about this year. It seems Man City won't secure their treble, and it's highly likely that they'll only bring home the League Cup to the Etihad Stadium. Despite the loss to Arsenal, Man City still remains the favorite to clinch the EPL title this season.

In terms of performance, Man City is still looking strong this season. However, the rumors about Pep Guardiola's interest in Toni Kroos may suggest a desire for midfield stability when coping with injury storms. Toni Kroos boasts excellent passing statistics and significantly influences the team's gameplay.

When the midfield is orchestrated by a top-class midfielder, goal machines like Haaland will undoubtedly find it easier to create scoring opportunities. There's no doubt about the clever attacking setup that Toni Kroos provides.

Pep Guardiola is usually this person who is always right in choosing good players for the club. I don't know how, but Guardiola always seems to have a sharp eye and instinct in choosing players. I don't care who Guardiola chooses because so far his choices have always been good. If the choice is Toni Kroos then I believe it would be the best choice for the club.

The midfielder position is indeed a central position or a position that determines the balance between the attack line and the defense line. So usually the players in this position are players who have stronger stamina and are also players who are good at reading the entire position of their friends on the field. Because their task is quite heavy. They have to help the attack line and also the back line. And so far Man City has good players for that position. But after Gundogan left I think it was a bit of a loss for the team. Even though Man City already has a replacement, when other players are injured then that can be another problem that arises. So this is where second tier players are needed who are just as good as the core players.

I get that Guardiola is hailed for his player choices, but lets be brutally honest here: Toni Kroos and Madrid have been nearly inseparable. His commitment to Madrid and their youth setup is clear, making it hard for me to imagine him leaving, especially just to become a backup in City's already packed midfield. And look, its not about the money or the allure of the Premier League; it's about the time on the pitch! Guardiola might find himself in hot water if Kroos doesn't get the playtime he expects. Do we really want a frustrated Kroos on the sidelines? Think about it

That will be a crucial match for Man City post the international break. As fans, we're hoping for a victory. Playing at the Etihad Stadium, Man City should be the favorites and should secure a comfortable win. Anyway good news is that some injured players are expected to be back, giving Pep with an opportunity to choose the best lineup. Brighton is a strong team with the potential to beat anyone. Summing up Man City's recent losses in the English Premier League, they'll likely be highly motivated to get all three points in their home game against Brighton.

Of course, it was a crucial match for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has a good chance to stop his team's streak of bad results after two unwanted defeats in the last two matches, the chance of winning is good because Manchester City is playing at home.

Brighton is not a weak team and their goal statistics in the last 8 matches seem to have warned everyone that they are capable of being a threat to any team. Manchester City's defense will have to be very wary of Brighton's players if they don't want to concede, but I believe that Manchester City has no doubts in this match. I don't consider Manchester City to lose points at home, in fact I'm not sure about a draw.

[jeha2015]

So far it also seems that the Glazer family has not fully succeeded in improving the quality of Manchester United's performance, or maybe they only rely on profits from business and not for an achievement. It is very unfortunate indeed when Sheikh Jassim offer is not accepted because of course, with Sheikh Jassim love for Manchester United, of course Sheikh Jassim will be able to make Manchester United better. So yes, with these factors, then I think Manchester United at this time certainly have to accept the fact because in fact, the situation and condition of Manchester United has again become bad and certainly quite worrying.

Man United's business is very profitable, even if they don't win a title, their income is still high, I think for this reason Glazer doesn't want to sell Man United. I think it is very unfortunate what the Glazer family has done to play with Sheikh Jassim. Even though we now know that Man United needs serious changes to be able to rise from adversity.

If it's like this, Glazer won't sell Man United. I am worried that Manchester City will surpass Man United in terms of achievements and I am sure that over time it will surpass Man United's English league trophy, 20 English league titles are easy to surpass for Manchester City.

Was Ten Hag's decision to dump De Gea and buy Onana the best decision? I don't think so. He has conceded 19 times in 11 matches. Pretty bad stats with fantastic transfer prices. Even Onana also did not only make one mistake resulting in a goal. I don't blame him all, because their defence is not very good either. But it seems that Ten Hag's football philosophy is not entirely running smoothly. Many supporters hope De Gea can return to Man United.

Buying players is luck sometimes and Ten Hags' decision to buy Onana is not the best at all, we all know that Manchester United's defense has defaulted not having a good goalkeeper has finished everything, imagine your goalkeeper of a big club like Manchester United conceding goals in every game shows a lot of dangers to the progress of the club. the numbers are just very bad conceding 19 times is hilarious. but even if the defense is bad the keeper should be able to defend the goal post but it got to the extent Manchester United had a loss net. and the last time is Maguire and now is onana, maguire has even tried this season.
