Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[DeathAngel]

Leicester v. Liverpool is one of those very important crossroads game. Is a make or break game for Liverpool if they still want to have a say in this season's Premiership.
Personally, I believe Liverpool should win this game and change the bad course of events had lately. Odds are quite good for a single bet too, so it is worth a try. 2.15 looks nice to me

Liverpool won’t win the title now. They are 10 points behind City & City have one game less. There is no shame for them, they have so many injuries, City are just better this season. Liverpool need to worry more about guaranteeing a top 4 finish. They can not lose to Leicester.

Can't be so sure. Its sure that with the form like this Liverpool's hope to be at top again is diminishing slowly. There are still chances if they get on track again and Manchester City drop points. Given the performance of City, yes it is difficult to happen but it can happen say if one or two or kore key players in defense or midfield gets injured and City struggle. We already saw how City were struggling in the start of he season when their some of their key players were injured or were unavailable due to COVID.

[ShowOff]

They can fight all they want but unfortunately for them there is a big quality difference from their team compared to Manchester City.I think now Manchester City will start to create a difference in points with the followers and fight really hard to maintain the lead until the end of the season.

I think this is the right way for them, being top of the standings is the dream of all teams and Manchester City will almost lose it if they are not able to improve the quality and mentality of the team after some bad results at the start. But now they are much better and continue to be on the right track and winning every game. The victory against Liverpool could be a sign that they deserve to win the Premier League this season. But who knows, the Premier League is still quite long and maybe there will be changes there.

Today:

Chelsea - barnsley

chelsea is very lucky, will have an easy victory

Chelsea are really the most comfortable team in this round. These two teams played against each other in the EFL Cup this season and Chelsea demolished them 6-0.    We can see a similar result again here.

Yup Chelsea have very good chance to win that match easily because it have more talented players. I also agreed with you both this will be an easy victory for them.

It's early to count and write out Liverpool from becoming the 2020/2021 English premier champion,  in 2018/2019 season when Manchester city became champions, Liverpool had a good lead at the top, but let it close up, I think Liverpool would put this shadow matches behind them, and go for wins, and the important games are the ones they play.

The EPL league is very tight so if you are far behind points then it will be difficult to catch up. I see Manchester City and Man United are on a good track so they will also be stronger in front of the table to secure their position while Mancity still has points from the remaining matches if mancity is perfect winning it then the points will be far away.
At least Liverpool must be able to defend the back line, especially in goalkeeping, so that mistakes happen to Allison again like before the previous Goalkeeper Karius.
At its core, the match will definitely defend the title on their own.

What a game it was! I was waiting for a competitive game but not a score like this for sure.  I enjoyed the first half the most. We saw 5 GOALS and it was incredible. After Tottenham got 1-0 (Sanchez) ahead, Everton made a great comeback and brought the score to 3-1 (Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, Sigurdsson). Tottenham managed to decrease the goal difference to 1 (3-2 - Lamela) in the last minute of stoppage time. In the second half, Sanchez found the equalizer (3-3). But Everton got ahead again with the goal of Richarlison (4-3). Tottenham weren't willing to give up and Kane carried his team to the extra time (4-4). But in the extra time Everton wanted to finish this job and managed to defeat their opponent in this huge game with the goal Bernard scored in the 97th minute (5-4). It was also a very tense game that there were 7 YELLOW CARDS. I have never seen Tottenham playing like this for some time.   They put up a great fight.

It was a game where neither team were willing to give up. A lot of ups and down with one team ahead of the other and within the next minute it would be an equalizer to push the game to an extra time. An amazing game to watch for sure and they managed, I won't say manage really but then, they put up a fight that paid off with a clear 3points. It was a nice match day live, without a single draw.

Southampton is already ahead in today's fixtures and is beating Wolverhampton 0-1 Southampton and its now 60' minute of game play. Goal by Danny Ings in the early minutes of 2nd half and wolverhampton isn't putting up a good fight. They may as well loose this one.

Exactly my point. That's the same way Man city was written off in 2019 but they later came back and snapped the title from Liverpool's grasp. Liverpool just needs to fix their defensive issues and a couple of wins to gain more confidence and bolster us into the title race again. I believe once our defensive problems are under wraps, we wouldst start delivering top notch performances and results to go with it. It would be a big boost if Liverpool can get some recoveries. Van Dijk or Gomez returning soon could be a game changer. Not to mention a couple of other key players - Keita, Jota or any of the new boys, Ben Davies and Ozan taking up a key role at the heart of Liverpool's defense.

I'm quite hopeful that we'll bounce back into the title race. It's not over (YET).

Manchester Utd are going to play an away game against West Brom this weekend. Manchester Utd are the 2nd with 45 points and West Brom are the second last with 12 points. Manchester Utd got 2 wins (2W 2D 1L) and West Brom didn't get any win (1D 4L) in the last 5 games in the league. West Brom have won only once in their home games (1W 3D 7L).  Manchester Utd are the second best team in away games (8W 3D). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Manchester Utd won 3 times, West Brom won once and 1 game ended in a draw. Manchester Utd beat West Brom 1-0 on Nov 21, 2020.

Missing player(s) at West Brom: Grady Diangana (1 goal)
Missing player(s) at  Manchester Utd: Paul Pogba (3 goals), Eric Bailly (uncertain), Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones

Manchester Utd haven't been having good results for 4 matches in the league. I think this a nice chance for them to get a very comfortable win. They should be more careful in the matches from now on. Otherwise, City can continue to increase the point difference between them.

I want to believe that Liverpools problem are not down to defensive frailities entirely; the entire team is struggling with chance creations as there are no creativity either from the wings or from the full backs; Klopp needs to strategize another way out to create chances from the center; apart from spamming crosses from the corners of the pitch. Jota offers something different to liverpools attack; and his return from injury will definitely help liverpool creativity problems

There is something special about Pep he is not a bottler, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all had the opportunity to clinch the title this season while Manchester City was facing injury crises, covid19 infected almost half of the squad, they were forced to play most of their games with second eleven mixed with players from the academy, they were struggling to win games then people thought all was lost. I was surprised how Pep turned them again into a title contender and are on an unbeaten streak. The only hope of Liverpool now is to fight for the top 4 because they are closer to Chelsea who is 5th than Manchester City. The title race is OVER

Marcus Rojo is not Manchester United player anymore. He is officially moved to Boca Juniors.

You want to say, Liverpool is closer to Arsenal on 10th place +9 pts than Manchester City -10Pts? right?  
But yes, I must agree with you, the title race is over. It is possible that Manchester City will loosen up a bit when CL resume and when they get a little more serious opponent. There they play under great pressure and almost always have something worse results in PL in this time of the season. But they still haven't consistent opponent in PL which can cause them pain.

Today:

Chelsea - barnsley

chelsea is very lucky, will have an easy victory

Chelsea are really the most comfortable team in this round. These two teams played against each other in the EFL Cup this season and Chelsea demolished them 6-0.    We can see a similar result again here.

Chelsea 1 - barnsley

the game is over and chelsea only managed to score 1 goal, i hoped chelsea could score a lot of goals and from what i see chelsea is still not in good shape and for this reason i will avoid betting on them because the risk of losing money is a lot high.

lampard was not the problem, it seems to me that the problem is the lack of players to score goals

[Igebotz]

Chelsea 1 - barnsley
 i will avoid betting on them because the risk of losing money is a lot high.

Betting is not for the weak if you are not comfortable with it stay out of it, that was the most difficult game for them this season and they managed to do away with a 1-0 win which is the most important result for them. The Barnsley side made use of their height very well tonight the match was very intense from the first half to the final whistle, Tuchel was able to manage and handle the pressure very well he switched from 3-4-3 to 4-4-2 and that was how he was able to secure the next ticket to play Sheffield United at home in the next round..

Give Tuchel some break he is still unbeaten this season and that's a huge improvement .

[CryptocurencyKing]

Wolverhampton still keen on maintaining a bad record while playing against fellow mid tier teams as they lost to Southampton by 2 goals to 0. Chelsea on the other hand managed to beat Barnsley by a goal to nothing. Kind of expected more goals from this game but, in this era of managing with the pandemic, a lot is being redefined in soccer.

There is something special about Pep he is not a bottler, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all had the opportunity to clinch the title this season while Manchester City was facing injury crises, covid19 infected almost half of the squad, they were forced to play most of their games with second eleven mixed with players from the academy, they were struggling to win games then people thought all was lost.

Very true, I wouldn't have expected city to come this far this season but they surprisingly are king right now and the way they carrying is really good, with 5 points ahead of Manchester united that isn't even an EPL title contender from where i stand with yet, a match to be played which i believe they are going to win and still extend they lead/hold on the EPL this season.

Liverpool won’t win the title now. They are 10 points behind City & City have one game less.

There are still 14 matches remaining, too early saying this. I know the chance for Liverpool to win the title isn't quite big, but we can't judge it too early. Now, we are better to focus on how the chance of Liverpool to get the crucial point in the upcoming match (against Leicester City). If they can win the match, they may keep the chance to compete for the title until the latest match.

There is no shame for them, they have so many injuries,

Yep, they are just unlucky. Too many injured defenders. Unfortunately, those injured defenders are the key players who make Liverpool strong all the time.
In the next season, Liverpool should evaluate this. They shouldn't get a crisis on the vital line and have no proper solutions for a long time.

It is true that there are still many matches to be played. But if we think realistic, I give Liverpool a very little chance to be the champions this season after I've seen their poor performance against City in Anfield. I expect the championship challenge to be more between Manchester City and Manchester Utd.

[kawetsriyanto]

Yeah, that's why I said the chance for the title "isn't quite big". Even if there are still 14 matches remaining, we cannot expect much on Liverpool because they still have no solution for the injured key players in the defense line. Except if all the defenders can recover from the injury soon and they keep winning for 3 points later. While Man City and Man United lose many points in the remaining matches. In this situation, Liverpool can be the winner, but I think it is difficult to happen.

Manchester City have already set a record among English clubs and have won 15 matches in a row in all competitions and the main question is whether the club will be able to maintain the speed gained or will go to losses. By the way, Guardiola ironically spoke about the championship of Manchester City, that a few months ago they had no chance of the championship and the Champions League, and now they are already champions, so maybe they should not play in the Premier League anymore, since they are champions?

You make a good point cause the game can be full of surprises sometimes but the outcome of the Liverpool match against Leicester will give us an idea if Liverpool does put the shadow matches behind them because they usually defeated Leicester in the Premier League. However, I expect Man City to lost to Hotspur.
