Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[arallmuus]

Now hear me out, Manchester United is in fourth place with 38 points, and they don't really seem to advance any further than the fourth place because there is a huge point difference between the teams above them.

Not for now yeah but getting 4th is good enough for now because Rangnick is just an interim manager and all he needs to do right now is to make sure the team doesnt fall out of the UCL for next season. Thats pretty much the bare minimum that he needs to achieve this season, well yeah if he could get atleast top 2 than that would be great

But the problem is they cannot afford to lose matches from now on because that team in fifth place has 37 points.
But on the positive side, Manchester United have played 1 less match.

So if they keep winning they can easily hold the fourth position. And there is no question about them improving their game than before. Now they are producing much better results. But I have to say I expected more from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Well actually did you watch the last game though? It was a close, that last minute tap in from Rashford saved the team.

[EdenHazard]

Liverpool FC in second place, and the only red in England. Man City 9 points ahead. Of course liverpool is the better team and better chance to get closer to City. City might win the league however liverpool could give them more pressure. I'm willing to see liverpool making the big move. Otherwise Man City already is setting the standards and the rest follow.

The point is that Man City are unstoppable and show no signs of slowing down or starting to lose points. They are playing very solidly this year.
I think Liverpool were really the ones that would have the best conditions to face this Man City, but that doesn't seem to happen.

I'm a fan of liverpool, but rationally speaking, liverpool doesn't have a chance to beat city, the way things are going it's clear that city will be champions, that's because liverpool and chelsea won't be able to play all games without losing or draw while City have a greater chance of playing many games and only having a draw of one or 2 games

False.

Manchester city could still losing many points through the draw and losses. the unexpected draw and losses , to be clear.
southampton scored first and hold city draw is the prove , eventhough manchester city beat all the big six , if they lost or draw to a club like southampton or crystal palace , i cant see manchester city are the absolute premier league winner. the chance for the top 5 to get the 1st place always wide open.

Here are the three contenders for the title and their odds according to the bookies:

Manchester City FC 1.11

Liverpool FC 7.65

Chelsea FC 82.00

City are not technically champions yet, but are you willing to risk your money and bet on another team? The bookmakers are willing to risk the quality of their expertise and rank City as the de facto champion this season. And the rest of the teams have no chance - here are the rest of the top five:

Tottenham Hotspur FC 280.00

Arsenal FC 375.00

[coderben]

I'm starting to get excited about the possibility again that Liverpool can catch up with Manchester City if they go on like this. Manchester City just need to continue to lose more points for Liverpool to be able to get very near them. Until the Manchester City - Liverpool match, Liverpool will hope for this to happen. They will need a 3-point difference at worst to be able to equalize it by defeating Manchester City in Etihad. Maybe this sounds really difficult but not impossible in the end. Liverpool can really make this happen. They just need to be lucky too while performing well.

Great hopes indeed rested on the shoulders of Ronaldo, who had said he would be the top scorer in the future. Hopefully it will really come true. There is still great hope and a chance if in the next match it is really used as well as possible to maintain its position in the fourth seat. An ordeal that will surely make West Ham steal the ideal gap again. Comparison of 1 point will be very vulnerable for both of them.

His expectations don't need to be too high I think because it will only create shocks and make teammates less consistent.
Ronaldo is a pretty good player but that doesn't mean he can work miracles with just one.
I think they need a bit of encouragement from the others especially in their midfield by making good creations there.
Greenwood and Sancho's roles are still quite good but their egos must also be minimized

[ShowOff]

My top four predictions are Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham.

Why do you prefer Arsenal over Chelsea? I think Chelsea deserve more than Arsenal to stay in the top 4 until the end of the season. I disqualified Arsenal and chose Chelsea for the 4 teams that will qualify for the Champions League next season.

Although Chelsea are currently experiencing a decline in performance but I don't think they will let Arsenal easily take them out of the top 4 of the current standings. Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United still have a chance to secure 1 ticket to qualify for the Champions League next season, but that doesn't mean they can make Chelsea lose a ticket.

Manchester United can keep up a good form actually. Their last two results were really promising to me. Maybe they didn't defeat West Ham easily but it was normal I think. Because West Ham are not an easy target for any club in this league. I remember Manchester City too as they struggled against them. I don't mean that Manchester United played badly in that one. Actually, they were effective and didn't let their opponent have many chances too. If they keep playing like this, they can maintain a good winning streak and an unbeaten one also. And this could help them have a good position at the end of the season.

in addition to what @Boristhecat said, there is the issue that chelsea and liverpool are inconsistent and can easily draw or lose the remaining games as I said, while city can take advantage of having 3 points in most of the remaining games, that's why I think City will be champions and that this scenario will not change

I also think that in the end the top 4 will be like this:

1 - City
2 - Liverpool
3 - Chelsea
4 - Arsenal or Manchester United (although I don't believe in Machester United)

Right now we have done 24 rounds and few teams still waiting for their 3 or 4 matches to reach this round, so I have been feeling it's not possible for anyone to give correct prediction about any position because just Manchester City and Liverpool have some good stable spots all others need very hard work for achieving this as competition is going to be very tough day by day, and we have Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham these all are doing their best for achieving these two remaining spots so five teams and two spots recently West Ham is losing points which is giving them big shock, and now they settled for seventh spot, so other four teams will not give anything easily, and they will fight until last match of this season for having their spot.

For me Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United/Tottenham as Arsenal is good but still need some more time for better results.

And this could help them have a good position at the end of the season.

A good thing happening for Manchester United as they are coming out of their issues and now things are happening positively for them now next week they have another easy match against Burnley with this they can keep some good performance and stay at their current spot, but West Ham is also going to be good with match against Watford which is easy game for them and if we have any big change then Arsenal will slip and Wolves will be having some better place all other teams are enjoying good matches.

West Ham is surprise package for this season under Moyes just because of this no team was taking them serious, but they have done extraordinary job sadly now they are slipping and having some serious trouble to hold their position which is very important if they need to stay at top then surely improve their some quality.

[AakZaki]

You have to see that currently, Man United is in 4th position and if you are still not convinced, in the previous 5 games Man United has improved in beating the opponent. From 5 matches including FA Cup with Aston Villa in 3rd Round, 4 wins by narrow score, and 1 draw against Aston Villa in Premier League. So far I think Man United made a few moves although not as significant as possible.

I understand that, Man United need an adjustment process with Rangnick. I think whoever the coach is they need adaptation. That adaptation has been a long way off and now Man United have played like Rangnick's will. The movement of seizing the ball is very visible, they simultaneously presing on the opposing player. At least a few wins have given Man United the chance to keep going to ucl next season. "I think at the moment Man United is still unstable.

Manchester united performance isn't by merit I think it's more of luck and it's working for them. They are yet to build a strong team base even though the narrowly find their way to either win or draw in which the comfortably draw most of the times and in some cases still lose their games. Their game against west ham is just a fresh picture of what Manchester games looks like I just wish Rangnick could possibly make good improvement on their team

[D-law]

I'm no big fan of Chelsea football club not Hakim Ziyech,but then you see the performance he had during the game against Tottenham and scoring such a beautiful goal, he does deserves to be the goal of the week.
Impressed to see how they have beaten Tottenham a total of four good times this season.
Mason mount got me tripping, great win to both Chelsea and Manchester United.

Surely this was a much-needed win for Chelsea, and they have done this on right time now they have some good relief as they were losing ground with just 1 win in 7 matches also a big relief for Manager Tuchel now they are going to face local derby against Arsenal which is also not easy match for them specially when Visitors are doing very good in last many matches.

But this can give them another win as this will also give them some good hold on their current spot in league table as they are facing some good pressure from another fighting hard team Manchester United win against West Ham give them also big relief as they were under pressure but now having some better performance which is signalling for their strong announcement about their fight for top 4 ranks because they need this for big future in Europe and Premier League.

Their condition is indeed improving but the problem of instability seems to have mushroomed in them.  Ragnick has slowly eroded this but it is undeniable that their playing pattern often looks like it is out of Ragnick's own control.  Man United's problem does not lie with the previous coach, but comes from their own players.  However, the character is ingrained and can't be changed that easily.

Manchester United, led by Rangnik, still have a lot of work to do, although of course the last matches ended with a positive result. It's not always possible to say this about the quality of the game itself, and it seems that Rangnik himself also expresses dissatisfaction with this in an interview. On the other hand, the final result is the main measure of success in football and now the most important task for Manchester United is to get into the number of teams that will play in the Champions League next season and this is what Rangnik is still trying to achieve, although with reservations about the different number of matches for the teams. It sounds quite ironic, but it seems that they are no longer talking about the titles that MU should have won this season.

Every coach or player needs time to adapt well. Coaches have to adapt to players while players have to adapt to new strategies, new training portions that may be different from previous coaches, and new rules. Manchester United will not be at his best with Rangnick as he is only given 1 year in his contract. Manchester United will soon find a new coach to replace him. That will prevent Rangnick from working 100% for Manchester United.

Then, what they are trying to do now is to maximize all the potential to get points. It may be difficult, but they are on a good track today. Burnley will be Manchester United's next opponent and they will probably win there easily.

Ziyech performance in that match was really good and I think he was very lucky to be in the right position to score that goal, to be honest maybe it's been a long time since I've seen a beautiful goal from distance like that come in the Premier League and I think that goal deserves to be the best goal of the week and will probably deserve to be one of the nominees for the Puskas award next year.

At the beginning of Tuchel's coaching, Hakim Ziyech found it difficult to get his trust and even had to start from the bench and often spent as a substitute. But this season he has adapted quite well to the scheme provided by Tuchel and has returned to playing as a regular and contributing with assists and goals. A pretty good and fast adaptation for Hakim Ziyech since moving from Ajax Amsterdam and already contributing directly to 1 Champions League trophy for Chelsea last season.

yes, they have to match each other, from the performance of several games especially in the last game, Rangnick successfully breaks into the tradition by substituting Ronaldo vs Brentford ago. Bruno Fernandes has risen, he was the control who make the club rise up from the deep. Rangnick seeing and begin to hand over control to him. however, if still focusing on 1 attacker, MU will be back on the past always lost and losing control.

Every player does need time to adapt when he first comes, the same as Ziyech when he first played for Chelsea it was difficult to get
Tuchel's trust. The first 18 months when Ziyech played for Chelsea did not live up to expectations. But this season I see Hakim Ziyech
has started to find his best form, therefore Tuchel has given Ziyech the opportunity as a main player. Even Ziyech scored a beautiful goal
when Chelsea beat Tottenham, Ziyech's goal puts Tottenham players under pressure and finally Chelsea managed to score a second
goal 7 minutes later. Hopefully Hakim Ziyech can play well like when he was at Ajax, I believe Ziyech can make a big contribution to Chelsea.
Ziyech is a very creative player, so Chelsea need Ziyech to build attacks and make Chelsea's game more creative.
