Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

What a performance by Liverpool and Leicester both tonight! After seeing that Leicester improved their advantage to 3-1, I considered it done for them. But Liverpool were having no intention to give up on this game and continued to fight back. They dropped the gap to one in the 68th minute. And in the last minute of the stoppage time, Minamino scored a life saving goal for them. And we went straight to the penalty shoot-outs. The competition was at a high level here also. And Liverpool managed to beat them by 5-4 after the penalties and advanced to the semi final round. But one thing is certain that this is one of the unforgettable games of this cup already now.

In fact I already expected a balanced game, while many punters here believed that Liverpool would win easily, but I would never have imagined that it could be a game as disputed as it was.
With two goals conceded in the first 11 minutes, I believed that all was lost and I just didn't change my bet because I still believed in a draw, I'm glad I didn't.
Minamino's goal in stoppage time was an explosion of emotion.

This is a bit misleading considering Liverpool used mostly kids and reserves in the 1st half. I think Leicester were expected to win with their attacking big guns playing. But instead Leicester blew their chances to advance to the semis with their shambolic defence. They threw away two separate two-goal leads at Anfield on Wednesday to draw their League Cup quarter-final 3-3 with Klopp's Liverpool side, before going onto lose 5-4 on spot kicks. I still don’t understand how Leicester let go of 2 goals margin and eventually lost by penalty. I was expecting Leicester city to make use of the absence of their first team players to win this game. But it now occurs to me that Rodgers has not yet addressed his defense this season.

As I expected, initially Liverpool didn't play 100% of the main players but after losing 1-3 at half time. Entering the second half Klopp replaced 3 players at once, Liverpool were still lucky to score a goal in the last minute of the match in normal time. At least in a tournament like this I only consider the composition of the players being played, because it's not a top priority so it's very possible for top teams to rule out a tournament like this by only playing second-tier players.

They made a good comeback after being trailed by 1-3 at the first half and finally they win the match with penalty shoot out. What a great spirit they shown. Its for sure an awesome as a modal for the next match in EPL when they have to meet Leeds United.

The draw for that Carabao cup semifinals has been made. And Arsenal is to play Liverpool at the Emirates while Chelsea hosts Tottenham. Arsenal don't have any other chance of winning a trophy so might play their first team. Jurgen will prioritise the Premier League and Champions League and play a mixture of kids and substitutes. So, the result is a 50-50.
Chelsea vs Spurs will be a tough tie considering the fact that Conte wants to give Tottenham their first trophy but I reckon Cheslea are stronger and will make it to the final. Also it will down to which teams prioritise it, I can’t see Liverpool putting out a full strength team but I am sure that Arteta will play up at least 80% of his first team players. Again normally I wouldn’t expect Chelsea to win but with them drifting in the league they might decide to try and win this. It wouldn’t surprise me if it is an Arsenal vs Tottenham final to be honest.

Liverpool made it clear the have all it takes to take up as many trophy's as possible in the English league including  caraboa  cup. Coming back to lead the game to a penalty shoot out after a first half 1-3 defeat utilizing the 68' and in the 90+5' an equalizer came through by Takumi Minamino ending the game in a 3-3 draw which lead to a penalty shoot out. Both team made the match an interesting.

I don't think Chelsea will have an easy game hosting Tottenham Hotspur in the carabao cup, because Tottenham will be very anxious to win a trophy especially this one they have reach a semi final and they will be full of believe since they are being coach by Antonio Conte, that has won trophies wherever he has been to,and it will be interesting to see how the Chelsea fans will welcome their old boss,I think they will cheer him up with love.

Chelsea will have a tough time beating Tottenham. Although, is their home match, and of course Chelsea won't want to lose. I think it might end draw, or Chelsea will win with a goal difference. Tottenham have been doing quite impressive under the leadership of Antonio Conte, and am sure he will probably try his best in securing a trophy for the club. However, am looking forward to watch this match, because it will be very interesting.

They threw away two separate two-goal leads at Anfield on Wednesday to draw their League Cup quarter-final 3-3 with Klopp's Liverpool side, before going onto lose 5-4 on spot kicks.

The penalty shootout came off with a Liverpool 4-3 Leicester City scoreline with T. Minamino missing his shot for Liverpool while
L. Thomas and R. Bertrand missed their shots for Leicester City. It was very unfortunate what happened to Leicester City, after the platform for a win to have been laid in the early first half, scoring over 3 goals and then, they come to the second half, couldn't score even a gaol but instead, conceive 2 more goals that brought the game to a Liverpool 3-3 Leicester draw, earned an extra time and eventually, a penalty shootout where Leicester City got kicked out.

Do we have a dedicated thread for the cups or do we write in these ones? I see a lot of discussion regarding yesterday's games so I'll join here as well.

I felt Liverpool's team was really weak - there was no reason to start Koumetio instead of Konate. Konate needs games and Koumetio simply isn't anywhere near acceptable standard. Pair him with Bradley and Leicester was cruising - they could have scored 5 goals in the 1st half.

I loved the reaction after half-time though. Instant 3 substitutions, we dominated the game in a fantastic atmosphere and Minamino's goal was well deserved. I'm glad Kelleher managed to save 2 penalties as well - he should have reacted way better for their 1st and 3rd goals.

Arsenal in the semi, good 2 games coming.

The EFL Cup match, Liverpool - Leicester was very amusing to me. It was no different than a Premier League match actually. There was a high level competition between these teams. After seeing Liverpool's starting eleven, I thought that Leicester would be able to eliminate them. And they were really near doing it also. They brought the score to 3-1 at some point and took a deep breath. But Liverpool really made a great comeback in the last minute. And by the penalties, they managed to eliminate Leicester. But it was really a great match to me.

The match was enjoyable. Liverpool were able to draw the match after trailing by two goals at halftime. Although Leicester have been beaten, their performance has impressed me. But Liverpool are an experienced team, they have won. Leicester was playing awesome. If Leicester can do that in the Premier League then they have a chance to rise to the top of the points table. Leicester are now ninth in the Premier League

I hope they get to meet my team Spurs for a rematch in the final but now we have to find a way to beat Chelsea first! This is a great chance for all of the teams to get a trophy and I am sure now in the last 2 games no team will use their weak squad,,, perhaps except for Liverpool as Klopp only puts his best team on a final, and trusts his young squad plus reserves to win the game. And if they played like they did against Leicester I see no reason for him to change.

Just hope Conte can make a tactical genius again against Tuchel!

I saw Leicester being very eager to win against Liverpool last night. They were so close to eliminating Liverpool but couldn't make it. Their performance still showed that we might see a more robust team against Manchester City in their next game in three days. But the game is still going to be played in Etihad Stadium and we know how great Manchester City are in their home games. Therefore, I think that Manchester City will get a decent win.

They almost gave Liverpool a scare there but Liverpool just made it in time and won in the penalties. What a game Keller had there and I honestly wanted Minamino to score there and be the star of the penalty shoot out there but it hit the woodwork but it was well struck. Anyway Liverpool advanced into semifinals and Leicester also played well.

Liverpool gave an opportunity to the back-up players during the Carling Cup match against Leicester City, despite having to struggle to win on penalties after a 3-3 draw. The new rules that if the game is a draw proceed to a penalty shootout and there is no 2nd leg, this match must be continued through a penalty shootout. In the line-up against Leicester City, only Firmino is a fairly senior player and the rest are young players who rarely get the chance to play in the Premier League.

Looks like for a second Schmiechel thought about hopping up and charging at Firmino after he was led on a merry dance by Firmino’s tricksy run up. But he decided he’d cry at the ref instead cos his own attempts at ‘psychology’ were useless while Firmino gave him a twisted colon and made Schmiechel look like silly.

It was a great game for a neutral, not so much if you’re a Leicester or LFC fan. Way too much action & nervous time
Like you said though, with the team Klopp selected, it doesn’t look good for Leicester that they couldn’t win.

The most tense match at the same time we made pounding. Liverpool can always rise from defeat and turn around situations that can never be predicted. I am also amazed at Leicester who have forced Liverpool players to show their best qualities. Even though Leicester lost, in Liverpool's eyes they were the most influential club. Regardless of what happened on the pitch Liverpool deserved to win a trophy. The mentality of getting up from behind is not all clubs in the Premier League have it. And Liverpool were able to conquer without stopping to rise.

It's true, very thrilling the conditions for the match between Liverpool and Leicester.  As I previously thought, this match will not be easy for Liverpool even though many bet that Liverpool will win easily but it is not so.  It ended with a very thin penalty kick causing fans to be quite hysterical with the result. Leicester has worked properly and this time isn't their luck.

Leicester who had a two-zero lead in just under 20 minutes, I thought they had managed to secure their place in the Carabao Cup semifinals, but in fact Liverpool, who fielded second-tier players, could even equalize the score in the final minutes of the game and make the match have to be ended with penalty kick, in my opinion, Leicester played quite well in that match but indeed the quality of the players from both teams made the difference in that match.
In the semifinal match, Liverpool will face Arsenal, who defeated Sunderland in the previous match, while Chelsea, who defeated Brentford, will meet Tottenham, who also beat Westham in the quarter-finals.
