Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ife2020]

Do we expect Manchester United to win today? I think the match will be very difficult, but Manchester has more chances to win today! Wolverhampton looks very weak this season, although it plays with good dedication, but in the end the result is worse than their game.

The Manchester United vs Wolverhampton  wolves match has been closely contested, with  Wolverhampton  wolves continue to keep their defensive structure while Rui Patricio has kept out Bruno Fernades goal too. Would it end up in a win for Manchester united? We will find out in 45 minutes.

judging on how the game is going, it's not gonna be a scoreless game, maybe there will be two goals in this game or maybe more, as soon as a team scores the first goal, things will get more exciting, especially if Wloves are the ones who's gonna score first.

It's looking like a barren draw right now with the way either team have had literally nothing to offer in the final third. Even Man Utd's Cavani haven't seen much of the ball despite starting the match as the central forward. Well, things have been getting hotter in the last 10 minutes or so. Man Utd is now working hard to get the ball forward. 1 disallowed goal and 1 Penalty denied with a couple of other chances too. We might see a goal soon.

Edit: Finally, Man Utd scores in stoppage time (90+3 mins). Rashford is the scorer and Bruno gave the assist. Nice way to end the game and maintain their form.

Only one draw
ManU with the late goal jumped from almost rank 14? to number two in the table with another 1 match left!
Leads advanced too with several ranks and Arsenal is following. Things are getting more exciting and City can spice it up moar!
Tomorrow Spurs and Arsenal to win with 2 goals difference maybe?

it's nice to see Manchester winning this game they are now 2nd just two points behind Liverpool that means we will see some rivalry for the league this season. And not to mention that it's been close to year since both teams played against each other and they both going to phase each other in round 19th on 17th of January. Last game saw Liverpool win 2-0 at home but this time they do not have Van Djik and United have Bruno to play his first classico it's can't wait to see that game.

i knew it wasn't going to end 0-0, if the goal was scored earlier in the game, we would have seen more either wolverhampton or man utd,

The game almost looked like a draw though but Man Utd kept pushing forward for a goal before they eventually grabbed on in stoppage time. Wolves held on for a while but eventually gave in. Nice goal from Rashford too.

too bad my bet was on both teams to score

Sorry about losing your bet. I had Man Utd on two of my parlays (home win and the other one double chance) and both of those selections came through. Some of Man Utd games this season ended with less than two goals so I'm always skeptical to play total goals selections for any Man Utd game not to mention going as far as picking BTTS.

A rivalry for the title is something I'd love to see in the PL this season. The last time we had a heated title rivalry was 2 years ago between Man City abd Liverpool. However, I'm not so sure this Man Utd team is ready for such. I mean,regardless of their recent form, they've been largely inconsistent this season.

Oh my, its like an 80's game show.

[coinlocket$]

How many years had we not had Manchester United in this position at this point of the season? 

Also guys is true that the English federation is considering stopping the League for the Covid Outbreak?

[kawetsriyanto]

Yes, they really make it happens, come back to compete for the title. This is not surprising, but not all clubs can come back as Man United did. I think the coach and all players of Man United now will keep the dream to win the trophy again. Man United only needs a few points to pass Liverpool on the top of the standings. Matchday 19 will be a crucial match because Man United will against Liverpool away. If Man United wins the match, they will be in the first position on the table.

i don't know about stopping it, but i read that they could pause the league for two weeks because of covid concerns, maybe they would stop it if things kept getting worse, i don't think they would though.

Its better they stop the league now because of concern in the growing numbers of infected players while some clubs might welcome the idea others whose team might have pick form lately might kick against it,  Sam Allardyce West Brom manager wants a break too link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55480666 personally I think it should be pause because of the health of the players and officials should be the priority now, congratulations to Man Utd for being among the title challenger having improved tremendously and picked form lately I hope they could be consistent with their performance.

And I don't think United can even hold ground on their second position. For a recap, we had Everton at the top of the league for a while, then they fell off to middle-spot levels and until recently we had Spurs take over the lead and now they're following a similar trajectory as Everton. I don't see anything different with United.

The truth is (my bias aside), Klopp's men are too much to overcome even with Man United's crack squad of forwards. You have a hungry Everton and Leicester who are both just one point away from overtaking United. Everton in particular is playing against West Ham on Friday so this is an easy win for them and already United is knocked to #3. The rest of the league is as <=26 points, so while United's not going to fall off from Champions League spots anytime soon, they're definitely will not be able to get the title this season.

It really is

Some groups are starting to form though. Everyone from Southampton up, that big group of teams on 26 points, are in the top group. Then there's a 'mid-table' group forming from West Ham to Burnley. Finally the bottom four seem to be slowly being cut adrift now, a clear points gap, and games played gap, between Brighton and Burnley. Note also that none of the bottom four have won in their last five games. It's also looking fairly likely that Palace will drift into that bottom group before too long.

I don't know when Manchester United held the second position on the Premier League table in new year holidays but the latest season they ended in a second position is in 2017-2018 season and they were managed by Jose Mourinho.

Also guys is true that the English federation is considering stopping the League for the Covid Outbreak?

I don't think the English Federation will postpone the league as this wave is better than what the league faced in the last season.

Its kicking off bad in the UK.

The information doesn't seem to get through very fast.

As a parent the school is expecting to be open. But the Italian media said uk schools are going to close too.

All the Christmas cases have yet to be realised.

They knew it was a risk telling people Christmas will be OK.

I wont be surprised by a fire break or some alternate plan. They already have tests, what about core team vaccinations.

Money wise the incentive is there to solve it somehow

[ife2020]

Tottenham Vs Fulham
Newcastle vs Liverpool

Tonights matches in the Premier league tonight; with Tottenham aiming to get back into the top 4 contentions; while Liverpool will look to restore their 5 points lead at the top of the summit; I think both matches will end in a draw; What do you reckon ?

[tokeweed]

Iiiinteresting from a neutral's perspective.  I find myself kinda rooting for United, tho I love Klopp.  I think I just wanna feel something good for the game in the covid era.  I don't feel as excited every match week anymore.

[cryptofrka]

With Matip also out for a longer period of time, I'm really interested to see how Liverpool's defence will line up tonight. Fabinho will certainly be one of the CB's, he'll probably play alongside Rhys Williams who had a bad game against WBA. An alternative is to play Henderson there, but then Liverpool have a gap to fill in the holding position.

After Matip's injury, I expect us to sign a centre-back during the winter. I can't recall a club having their first 3 centreback options out for the bigger part of the season. City had some problems there at the beginning of last season, but nowhere near as serious as this.

I'm truly amazed we're still in the 1st place.

[Yogee]

The importance of "a win is a win" is probably more felt by all teams with the back-to-back matches they have to deal with. It doesn't matter if it's a narrow or an ugly win. What was really surprising was Leeds United trashing WestBrom with five goals. A feat where everyone thought Liverpool would do but only could only managed a draw.

Tottenham vs. Fulham and Newcastle vs. Liverpool will close out matchday 16 and the year 2020. Will we see another draw?

[youdacapt]

Mourinho Tottenham hotspur defensive squad plays fulham at home tonight and it is unsure what to expect. Will Jose be parking the bus against a relegation threatened aide? Or play an attacking tactics? I suppose failure to beat fulham tonight could cause distraught in the spurs camp.

Meanwhile Liverpool face Newcastle away from home, with Liverpool side poor form on the road, perhaps a 1 all draw will be deserving

🚫Tottenham and Fulham match has been postponed after Fulham hit with massive Covid-19 outbreak among players and staff. 🚫
That's a bummer I hope there will be less infection among other teams so we don't get these types off calling off matches just a sudden.

I lost 3 players in my fpl team this gameweek I had son as captain fortunately I have Bruno as VC.
