Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Indymoney]

What surprised me a lot is Liverpool's defense. After 5 match days they have already conceded 13 goals and together with West Bromwich Albion they have the worst defense in the league. Everton's two goals today shouldn't have happened either. Not to mention the seven goals of Aston Villa a week ago. If Liverpool doesn't turn the problems off soon, I do not see any hope for Liverpool in the league and in the Champions League.

This is really matter of concern for Klop and company as they are giving too much space to opponents which is not good for them if they not able to settle these serious issues then they are not going to defend this title and losing very badly.

I saw many comments about Everton getting a draw vs Liverpool and you were right boys. Seeing the stats, Liverpool seems playing better in term of shots on target and possession, but apparently a dysfunctional defense cannot let them enjoy a win...
A draw between Chelsea and Southampton too... Draw between ManU and Newcastle in the first half ...
It appears that City is the one that benefited from today's results, it still lacks 1 match, with 3 goals it can jump in front of Liverpool. Aston Villa lacks 2 games too, they will face Leicester tomorrow, one of those teams will be 2nd tomorrow.

Pickford should have been sent off for an assault on VVD & we were robbed of an injury time winner by a bull **** VAR decision. Somebody try & convince me Mane if offside there because that is bull **** imo.

There go my bets    I not only had a wager on Liverpool but also a wager on Double chance 12 as insurance in case Everton won, and it was a draw instead. To be honest I was not expecting this outcome, considering that there were very few draws in all the EPL fixtures this season. But hey at least I salvaged some of my money with an Asian total over 3, but just barely made it. If only Henderson's goal was counted...

Full time, Newcastle 1- 4 Manu.
Last 10minute of the match was super crazy. Rashford showed his magic in the last moment with 2assists and 1goal. Bruno also did 1goal 1assist. Was a good match. Manu need to fix their defence in upcoming transfer season.

To be honest, I was expecting Everton to win  . If it wasnt for that stupid early goal, the score would have been 2-1.

A draw between Chelsea and Southampton too...

They were lucky that they didnt ended up losing the game. Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea probably has the shittiest defence so far among all Top Club in Premier League

Manu need to fix their defence in upcoming transfer season.

Manchester United cant wait for the next transfer window, They need to think of a way to fix with their current squad. Well I know that They were bad but atleast Manchester United nailed 3 points while Liverpool and Chelsea stuck with 1 instead 

[JeromeTash]

Lol a Losserpool fan complaining of VAR is the least I expected, the masters of Var, the controller of Var, the owners of Var, the same Var gave you first EPL title after waiting 30 years and all you could do is come online to cry because your player was offside and goal disqualified?the same way you've been doing all day long..lol

There's no need to insult any member here. This is one big football community and not the politics board where you throw insults left and right. Please learn to respect your fellow members.

I hope this kind performance doesn't just end today, and then they come back next week with a totally different attitude and performance from what we expect 

Watched the match. NewCastle had everything under control until late in the match. For sure united have to look for ways of working on their defense because from what I observed, we could soon see another high scoring game If they meet a sharp team.

It is such a crazy season start. First of all the team with "almost" no loss last year (with only 3 that 2 had coming from restart I believe) already has one for example. Liverpool is not playing that bad, I know people basically assumed they would be unbeaten or so by this time of the year, but they are still doing nice, last night's game wasn't really all that shocking and it wasn't really their fault, sometimes those things just happens.

Everton on the other hand, the team at 12th is actually leading the league right now, and I know they are not going to stay like that but it is still not that easy to do this anyway even early in the year. And City is just plain bad, they are really not doing anything right at all, it is really looking like a horrible season for them unless they turn things around.

Liverpool defense line and goalkeeper Adrian was very poor yesterday immediately Van Dirk was substituted as a result of bad tackle from Pickford I knew the chances of curtailing Carl Lewis in aerial duel will be difficult for gomez, had it been Mane was not in yesterday's match it would have very difficult for Liverpool to win the match, mane played very well, he was terrorizing Everton defence line making things difficult for them, overall it was an entertaining match having predicted earlier that Liverpool will find it difficult to win the match.

Manchester United played very well against Newcastle, so the result of the 1-4 match for Manchester United's victory, Manchester United deserved.
Even though I was quite surprised when Newcastle managed to excel early in the match, I thought Manchester United would play badly again, like
the one against Tottenham. It turned out that my guess was wrong the first half ended in a draw, and the second half Manchester United played
extremely well, I agree the last 10 minutes of the game are completely insane. Created 3 goals for Manchester United, I also agree that Rashford is
the man of the match, with 2 assists and 1 goal. Seeing the inconsistent appearance of the Manchester United defender, it is better for Manchester
United to bring in a quality defender in the next transfer market.

@MCobian even though Manchester United won I felt that they were lacking the intent to win, but in the end Fernandes once again stepped up to save them, and he also made up for missing that penalty early on.

Furthermore I also feel that Shaw will be warming up the benches now, because Manchester United have brought in a new left back who can not only replace him but perform way better than him.

Looking at City's game yesterday, pep Guardiola's men still look short of their best, it was a good defensive performance from city, but they were hardly sharp when they attacked the gunners, city have played four games and scored only seven goals, that's quite unlike them and poor based on their standards, I'm pretty sure pep will be asking his boys to improve their sharpness going forward. Kun is obviously back, with Jesus, Laporte and Kevin to join the squad in the coming days, City still remain my title favorites for this season.

United's game looked set for a draw, I was surprised they got 3 late goals, so if not anything, it shows character and good fighting spirit and that will take some of the pressure off OGS. That being said, Frank Lampard looks to be under some pressure himself atm, dropping unnecessary points in this early stages isn't good for him and Chelsea at all, plus he knows Abramovich has little patience with managers .

Goals. Goals. Goals and goals.
Premier league will never be the same , 5 goals or at least 4 in average in a match.
Liverpool v everton 4 goals
Chelsea v southampton 6 goals
Newcastle v man utd 5 goals
Only manchestercity v arsenal produce a single goal.

This is madness. A pro sportsbettor maybe now looking for a way out of this mess.

In yesterday's Chelsea match against Southampton, Blues defence was really shit. Didn't saw any real commitment from defence while attack wise they were doing really great. Pulisic was back in team after injury and thought that Chelsea will easily have this game and attack very well but didn't thought that they would also gave those goals so easily. Werner scored some crazy goals and a great assist for the third goal to Havertz.

Tottenham Hotspur - West Ham United
This meeting promises to be very interesting as both teams have recently achieved some victories. I wonder what impact the return of coach David Moyes will have on the visiting team. In this match, I bet on the hosts. My bet: Tottenham win.
Crystal Palace - Brighton
I do not see a favorite in this match. A lot of goals have been scored in the last matches of these teams and I think it will be the same today.
My bet: over 2,5 goals

Liverpool era is about to end and don't be sad , be happy that it happened as this team played the most offensive style that I have ever seen in the last 20 years of football ( including the legendary tiki taka ). Today was a derby and Everton is in great shape but the fact that Liverpool does not have the same pace anymore, it tell us that some players are still tired from the last 3 seasons. Anyway, I'm not a Liverpool fan but I hope they will stick on top of Premier League even if they will not win it anymore.

Now you are exaggerating! Sure, they haven't had the best start to the new season and their defense looks a bit shaky from time to time now. But saying that their era is about to end now already ... I don't know. Where you expecting that they are dominating the league like last season again to be 20+ points ahead of their next persecutor. Imo they are still a big favourite for this years title.

And even ManCity, which most think are the favourite for winning the title this season, haven't keept a perfect record but lost 5-2 against Leicester and only played 1-1 against Leeds. This only shows that the entire league is more balanced.

Well there we go who won yesterday? the bookies?

Todays head to head matchups for you...


Sheffield or Fulham will finally get a point, or both.




Looking forward to see the table after todays games!

Good luck with your bets today.

Indeed, bookies enjoyed yesterday's epic games in different leagues!

Sheffield or Fulham will finally get a point, or both.

Sheffield will get a point or 3 maybe (seriously Sheffield don't lose this lol), and it started

Looking forward to see the table after todays games!

Crystal Palace - Brighton, epic match with no clear favourites
Tottenham - West Ham, spurs winning normally but who can trust spurs at 100%?
Aston Villa - Leicester, I expect Leicester to win and both teams to score but I would not underestimate Villa, fingers crossed!

Two draws and two wins yesterday in the premier league, nice.
Everton still continues to lead on the league table after holding Liverpool to a 2-2 draw yesterday. The premier league is been really compititive this season with every team being so stingy not to loose any point.

Chelsea was rather disappointing to have had an early 2 goals lead in the game against Southampton and yet played to a draw. Havertz did well to have given Chelsea a third winning goal after loosing a ball that lead to Southampton scoring it's first goal but, it didn't seem good enough as Jannik Vestergaard managed to score the equalizer for Southampton.

I was really surprised to see Manchester United having a Newcastle 1-4 Manchester United scoreline on the score board. Nice one. Hope it does boost the teams morale. I hope to see more interesting games from Manchester United.

Werner scored some crazy goals and a great assist for the third goal to Havertz. 

Maybe it was because of his lack of solidity in Chelsea's defense so it was easier for the opponent to pay the same until the final whistle, I watched this match in attack nothing to disappoint because Timo Werner is a great striker and on the other hand Pulisic as an assist in attack is really interesting but when Southampton attack the defense is still not strong and can still be broken with the same goal.

[DeathAngel]

Sheff Utd 0-1 Fulham with only 10 mins to go. This will be Fulham’s first points of the season if they can hold on.

Edit - I spoke too soon, 1-1 now 

Three more games to look forward to after this one.
