Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Pulsar77]

West Ham - Liverpool game can be a really competitive one I think. Maybe it is not a game between the biggest teams of the league. But West Ham have a really impressive performance in the recent times. They are at the 4th place being only 2 points behind Liverpool which are at the 2nd place. They have a better form than Liverpool in the Premier League lately also. They won 4 of their last 5 league games and lost the remaining one. I'm pretty sure that they will do their best to defeat Liverpool or prevent them from being victorious here. I expect both teams to score.

🗣️ Paul Scholes on United's defensive issues:

“I don’t know if Harry Maguire is still injured or he's got a hangover from the Euros but he doesn’t look right. He’s not with it at the minute. With a performance like that 2nd half, and no Varane on Saturday, it has to be a worry. City will think they have a good chance of winning." 😬 #MUFC

Finally the man I respect his analysis has spoken. That's exactly what I analysed, with Varane not being on the defence line and Maguire there, it will surely be disastrous for United!. I just believe Ole will have an alternative plan for defence. Maybe to incorporate Eric Bailey in the defence and bench the technically injured Maguire.

Ole have less option for the defense, the only available players are Dalot and Bailey as center defender if Maguire wont be able to play.
It the worst case is going to happen (both Varane and Maguire out) will he push a speculation to make a midfielder to become a defender?
What a bad situation for Ole while he has to prove himself that he is still worth to be Man United's coach.

I wonder if Ole Solskjaer will get sacked in case Manchester United lose against Manchester City in a huge derby this Saturday. But maybe, the board can decide to give one more chance to him in that case. Anyway, Manchester City is the favourite side in this match I think. Maybe they lost to Crystal Palace but this doesn't show that they are weak. They are still very strong and showed it last night by finishing Club Brugge with a 4-1 result. I don't expect them to lose here.

The big win over tottenham may be the reason for delaying Solskjaer dismissal at manchester, but we should have to wait after the manchester united and manchester city match is over, because as we know if it is the last game of 3 opportunities given by the management of manchester united to Solskjaer, and It's possible that Solskjaer future will depend on the outcome of the match, so we'd better wait and see what will be happens.

The two-club fight was really scary but so much awaited by all the fans. I would of course be happy to bet on ManCity. The reason is quite simple City's performance until now is still above Manchester United. Tomorrow we certainly can't miss whether Ole can beat the 3rd place giants. There will be a lot of work for Ronaldo and Ole. Lol

[lixer]

I still believe that Atalanta is not really a weak team, yes United is a great team and all, their roster is fine as well, I still believe their manager Ole is not enough for that team but Atalanta is still a good team and if you expect a draw from a game then this is the one. This is not as bad as the 5-0 Liverpool game, that was really humiliating for them. After all United still needs to jell with chemistry and that's not going to happen overnight, we are going to see some changes and that is going to happen eventually.

Let's hope that they get a lot better in the long run, with more and more games they play, they will play a lot better. With how the age is looking, there are some players who could be here as long as 10 years, and some that looks like will be gone in few years so we should basically be doing a lot better quickly if United wants a title.

[Coyster]

I would like to see a much better Manchester United in this match but I'm not sure of it. They are not good with Ole now. But I also wouldn't like to say that the main problem is the manager. Because we all have witnessed how great Arsenal have recovered still having Arteta. This can be a "stay or go" match for Ole. I hope to see them not losing this one.

To be honest I really want the United board to sack Solskjaer, not cause I think he is the problem of the team, but cause I want to prove to the many people who think he is actually the problem, that he is not, Manchester United aren't just going to be automatically successful if they sack their present coach. If you watch their matches, it's clear that the players are not just giving their best, they are erratic/inconsistent, they play well today and the next day they are extremely poor, the players have to improve, that's just certain, irrespective of who the manager is, United players have to start representing their team/fans/jersey with more pride and seriousness.

Ole have to either win or draw their next match, losing the match might result to him getting sacked. Although, the management don't seems like sacking Ole any time sooner,  Manchester United winning against Tottenham gave the impression that Ole can still do more better in the club. But they have to be well prepared against Manchester City. No doubt, the match will be very tough as Man U needs more points to enable them slide their way into the top 4 on the standings. While,  Man City have to win in order to avoid losing their position to West Ham, because they currently have the same points with West Ham.

Not only this win we have some other issues also for Manchester United Board not sacking Ole Solskjaer from these one is they have not good manager right now available for handling this club right now and sometime Ole is doing good job when he has warning from them, so he won this match against Tottenham and then have draw against Atlanta now they are going to play Derby match against Manchester City which is also very crucial for them but if they lost then surely something serious going to happen.

But my feeling is they will have some better result in this match, most chances they will take one point which will help them for having some faith with him for some more time.

I don't think Man City can win against Man United in Old Trafford. Man United players must have more motivation to win at home, especially with their current condition that must win each match to survive at the top 5 on the table. Ole also probably uses everything to make Man United players play all out, it can be the end of his career in Man United if he loses in this match. Regarding the performance of Man City, I think they experienced a bad situation. They have just got defeated at home previously, while Man United can win against Tottenham. How can you think Man City performance is better?

Whatever, because this match is quite exciting, both from the Manchester United camp and from the ManCity camp, both of them will clearly compete with full strength and provide optimal performance. As much as possible the defeat of Liverpool did not make Manchester United lose everything. Maybe for Manchester United the match against City is a fixed price match to stay in the top 5. On the other hand, ManCity also did not want to lose and was replaced by West Ham.

He always got second chance and I see last warning for Ole when Manchester United defeat by Liverpool on Old Trafford with bigger score 0-5, but what happen keep safe Ole place on Manchester United until right now although got winning on Tottenham Hotspur last week and draw with Atlanta on champion league. I think keep safety place position for Ole how ever result get by Manchester United loss or draw. But keep waiting how long Ole keep safety place on Manchester United.

And this is good, because everyone should be entitled to a second chance to correct a mistake Everything depends on the team's performance in the upcoming derby and, to a greater extent, the final score. I think that a draw and a small loss will leave Solskjaer at the helm of the teams and only a loss with an indecent score, such as a recent loss in a meeting with Liverpool, can fire the coach. Manchester United has a rich history and great ambitions, so any coach at its head cannot feel in constant confidence and only good team results can guarantee safety for a while. The only thing is that the club should not rely constantly on Ronaldo's role as a savior in the last minutes of the match and achieve the result more confidently.

Because of those crucial reasons, I am pretty sure that the match will be very tight. Both Man City and Man United have a strong purpose, they want to maintain their position on the table. If they lose in the match, their position can be replaced by others. But considering the match will be held at Old Trafford, I agree with kawetsriyanto that Man United seems to win it.

I haven't seen Man u has the favourite to win that match yet,Yes I believe they want to improve their current form,because of recent they were not really good enough,and therefore they need like two big wins to boost their moral again,and Manchester derby is a great test for them.
But i believe Pep Guardiola's  men are ready for that encounter,and won't want to loose at all to their bitterest rival.It is a really tough one,but I think City will win that one.

I prefer Man City to be able to beat MU with a fairly landslide score, even this match could be a prediction of the end of Ole's career if the management really makes this match a decision for Ole's fate in the future. I think Manchester City can win with a landslide score of at least 2 or 3 goals without replying against MU. But if Ole is really sacked it could be very difficult for United to find a new coach because Conte already has a club at this time.

Manchester City is now in a better position than Manchester United. Their gameplay is stable. But we can't call Manchester United bad. Pogba and Varane will not be in the squad for this match. So Manchester United's midfield and defense will be a bit weak. If Guardiola can take advantage of this opportunity, Manchester City will win this match. We know Guardiola is a very experienced catch. He will not want to lose points from this important match.

Southampton plays Everton at home today, the home side just getting back to winning ways, but the visitors are not doing too good,they have been inconsistent lately, their previous game was with Wolverhampton they are just too porous from the start.
Wl they get a chance to fix up there errors today ?
Will Southampton get a win here ?

This could be very entertaining match because Manchester United having some interesting results in last few matches and Manchester City is also doing much better but after having win against Tottenham this can bring some good confidence in this team which could be very helpful for facing Derby opponents.

Surely Manchester City is going to be favorite for this, but Ronaldo could be some factor again for the home side. If Manchester United wins this match then surely we can think it's going to be turned into very good for them and their future in this season, but they need to have some better in defense which is serious issue for them in recent times.

Where do you find that schedule, because for this week Southampton will play against Aston Villa, Everton will play against Tottenham. Have you checked it better or am I wrong to get the wrong schedule?

But regarding that match, about Southampton I personally don't have a strong feeling which one will win because both of them are not looking good at the moment. But even so, I'm sure the match will be boring and it doesn't look like many goals will be scored. About Everton, I only convinced myself to choose Tottenham, because I really hope Conte can make quick changes for Tottenham.

Ole Solskjaer might not be a technical genuis like Pep Guardiola. In fact, Ole's inability to come up with a defined playing style for Manchester United is the reason why many football faithfuls tag Manchester City as favorite but it is worthy to note that this is football and anything can happen.
Even so, it's a derby and there is bragging right at stake therefore I expect Manchester United to give City a run for their money.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

They are both big clubs and have good players. Many of them can decide matches and in addition, in derby match we can see more surprise when players will play with more than 100%. Mentally they will play stronger than in non-derby matches.

Surely Manchester City is going to be favorite for this, but Ronaldo could be some factor again for the home side. If Manchester United wins this match then surely we can think it's going to be turned into very good for them and their future in this season, but they need to have some better in defense which is serious issue for them in recent times.

They - Manchester City - have better players and better coach. Their players have been playing together in a few seasons and they understand each other. Their tactic runs smoothly. It is what Manchester United don't have at this phase so it is reasonable to pick Manchester City as a favorite team to win in derby.

Ronaldo have excellent performance in Champions League, 5 goals in 4 matches but he can not repeat it in Premier League. It will be the first Manchester Derby for Ronaldo after more than 10 years. He will be exciting to fight against the neighborhood club and he has never want to lose.

Manchester City has always been strong. Maybe just slight inconsistencies this season. Though Manchester City last EPL result was poor but their recent in Champions league was awesome. Even if City is not in good form but in as much as it's Manchester Derby they will give their best. Same with Manchester United, but under Ole I don't know how it will play out.
But deep inside me, I'll like Manchester United to lose so that Ole would be sacked.  Ronaldo be warned, I don't want your magical comeback this weekend.
