Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[blue Snow]

It will be very disappointing to see Manchester City not winning the league this season after topping the table for a long time,but I still see them winning it just that Liverpool have pick form at the moment and that will put more pressure on Manchester City in their games especially when they will play before Liverpool at matchdays, but I trust pep guadiola in such times he has lot of experience in circumstances like this.

I am not against either of Man City or Liverpool winning the league this season, I am an Arsenal fan I only want the competitiveness of winning the league trophy between the two clubs to linger on till the last day of the league, the best club should lift the trophy, I don't want a situation where the league winner is already emerged with many more matches to go or play, this is very common in Bundesliga when Bayern will have gathered many points ahead of their runner-up, presently PSG has 62 points while their runner-up Marseille has 47 points in French ligue-1, this was formerly prevalent in scottish league when Celtic was dominating the league I believe those leagues wouldn't be competitive like EPL.

about Arsenal where you have fans, I believe they are not as a competitor from both, Liverpool and City. but I'm sure they will stand top 4th position champions league zone. but, I still regret why they can't maximize Aubameyang as a striker. Now, he changed into a line, someone who was highly respected in front Barcelona.

Arsenal's management has underestimated many good players in the past. Aubameyang is an extraordinary player. He could have become a star player in the Premier League. But he has been neglected by Arsenal's management. Now he is ruling in La Liga. And his contribution to the transformation of the Barcelona team must be acknowledged.

[onetwostep]

I totally agree that Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world, because not many football managers have a track record like Guardiola.
Imagine Guardiola throughout his career as a coach only coached 3 teams, namely Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Man City. Surprisingly, Guardiola
was very successful in making all the teams he coached win many trophies. So Man City are lucky to have a manager like Guardiola.
Even the majority of teams in the Premier League will play defensively if they face Man City, it proves Guardiola's strategy is very good.
Even though this season Liverpool have also played very well, and become Man City's toughest competitor this season. But I'm still optimistic
that Man City will be champions this season, although Man City's performance has decreased slightly in the last 5 matches. Which Man City only
drew with Southampton and Man City were also surprisingly defeated by Tottenham. But I'm sure Man City will soon improve its performance
in the remaining games of the season.

The Manchester United match could be the breaking point. A very good match to improve their performance which has gone bad for a few weeks, if they can get 3 points from this difficult match the team may start to get closer to their old form. But if they lose points in this match, they will have taken a big blow. In this case, it will be difficult for the team to recover and Liverpool begins to relax

If the Abramovich statement is true, it is a really brave and human thing to do. I know most of these oligarchs are hardcore criminals, he is probably as well, but if he plans to give all of the money he receives from the Chelsea sale to the victims of the war than he will become a good guy in my book.

With this statement he is basically making a stand against Putin's regime and that takes a lot of courage. Well done Roman.

[Alisha-k]

Liverpool all the way!! I mean those guys continue to impress me. I see them as great contenders for the league title o. At least Salah will have what to console himself with. Mancity are not doing bad too but, so far Liverpool have been consistent in their winning.

Wow, Roman Abramovich's decision is truly noble and what I can't accept is with Vladimir Putin himself, because as we take for example from the statement Roman made that he decided to sell Chelsea and all the profits made would be allocated to the victims of the war in Ukraine. This case also affects others as well, such as many athletes, sponsors, clubs, club owners and many others who are from Russia. They are now isolated from the world of sports and other industries. With this action Putin still didn't stop the attack and at least that's a shame, whereas we know Chelsea themselves are now really great under Tuchel and Roman should still be there for Chelsea to see more of Chelsea's achievements.

But he has been neglected by Arsenal's management. Now he is ruling in La Liga. And his contribution to the transformation of the Barcelona team must be acknowledged.

Aubameyang is indeed a player who has contributed significantly to arsenal so far, but his often undisciplined attitude forced arsenal to release Aubameyang for barcelona, ​​yes indeed now Aubameyang has shown a good performance with barcelona but as arsenal fans we are not too sad to see that, because all this time, a player, especially a club captain, should set a good example for other team members and not just like Aubameyang did so far at Arsenal, who set a bad example by continuing to be indisciplined.

After defeating Burnley by 2-0 away, Leicester have another opportunity to boost their morale significantly. Their next opponent is Leeds in two days and it is a home match this time. Leicester were having a really bad form before the Burnley match. But this result must be able to fire the players up. They finished a streak of zero win that lasted for five weeks. It is time to start a winning streak to solve the current problems. Leeds have been simply terrible and lost many matches by embarrassing results. Leicester shouldn't have any problem.

It will not be any disappointing to Manchester City. If there should be a disappointment it should be to Liverpool. Liverpool always fight for this league every season. They will end up with 97 points and above and yet will not lift the trophy. It used to pain me. This year Liverpool has only lost two matches while Manchester City has lost three matches. In the last 5 matches, Manchester City has won 3, lost 1 and draw 1 but Liverpool has won all their 5 matches. When talk about goals you will see that Liverpool has scored more goals than Manchester City. Look at all these and see that there is nothing Manchester City is doing special to deserve the trophy more than Liverpool

There is a really great Manchester derby ahead in only four days. And it is going to be played in Etihad Stadium. Manchester City are absolutely the favourite to win this game. Bookmakers are favouring them by a huge difference. Because Manchester United are having big struggles these days too. They couldn't even defeat Watford last week despite trying everything they could. And I think that they have no chance against Manchester City in this game. And it is crucial for City to continue to win as they are in the title race with Liverpool.

Of course this is a major concern for City to win consecutive wins because if they cannot maintain the team's performance then it is possible that the current point difference will continue to be pursued by Liverpool.  A lot of people think that last season's winners were hard to come by on a winning streak but City are currently struggling to break that stigma.  The difference is only 2 wins, if City lose once then it gives 1 possibility for Liverpool to catch up.  moreover their opponent is Westham which in aggregate they are superior.

Liverpool also have a tough game ahead. West Ham are a really solid opponent for Liverpool considering their general effort in this season until now. And they won their last game against Wolves too. Both teams are going to be in-form actually but Liverpool are still a few steps above West Ham by their great performance. And they are much more focused now as they have strengthened their chance to win the PL championship now. West Ham will be aiming to wear them out but I doubt if they can make it. I think Liverpool would still win by finding some way.

Liverpool have chance to catch Manchester City that has bad results recently and they have likely easy task against Inter Milan in a second leg match in Champions League. They will be able to put their resources in Premier League. If they can not complete matches with best results, I believe Manchester City will expand difference again.

When the Champions League comes back and if both Liverpool, Manchester City go next, which club can allocate their resources better will likely have better results in Premier League. Honestly, Manchester City have better alternative players than Liverpool so the Kop must get as best results as possible in the meantime.

Yes, it's a decent thing to do and TBH I'm quite surprised he'd do that. I wonder how much influence he actually has with Putin. These sanctions are obviously affecting the oligarchs a lot, and Abramovich is no exception. Will these billionaires be putting any pressure on Putin to stop the war? Presumably the fact that he's selling Chelsea rather than trying to ride this out means that he thinks the war is likely to go on for a long time, and Putin won't back down.

Aubameyang scored 92 goals in 163 appearances for Arsenal, but his time at the club was also chequered with disciplinary breaches. It once looked like he was negatively influencing the new culture the club wanted to build and move away from the bad culture that prevailed in the club. So for now it works for both sides, no one is a looser at this moment. Aubameyang is happy again, Arsenal young lads reignite the collective responsibility a team needs to get somewhere. Aubameyang  spent 4 seasons with the Gunners and they never qualify for champions league. if arsenal qualify now, then they need to trust the process. I wish all sides the best in their pursuit for their team glories.

The weekend between Manchester United and Man City will go a long way to determine who played the final in the premier league facing Liverpool in the final, both Manchester United and man city have a strong point game to play over the weekend and man United will have to double their efforts in scoring more goal as they are down on the premier league table and man city already topping the table with more goals. 

Manchester United may not get the cup this season as they perform this season is far below average compared to the previous league performance.

Obviously Manchester United need to step up their game in other for them to have a chance to match up the pressure Manchester city will bring up on Sunday. Manchester United have been very inconsistent in their results lately. They have only managed 16 points from 9 games since January. They can’t afford to drop any more point after what happened against Tottenham at Etihad and made Liverpool got closer with just 3 points difference now. They must want to win against Manchester United knowing fully well that Liverpool will close on them if they don’t win. Plus they’re closer to the trophy than any other team, so I don’t see why they won’t want to close that gap with Liverpool.

Manchester City will be coming all out for this game, because to them is like a final to them because they are no longer topping Liverpool with a lot of points so they don't any slip up and Liverpool are still topping them in goal difference chart,so they need to be very focus against Manchester United because is a derby and United is a good team.

As tactically astute as Rangnick is as a coach, I don't think United has enough fire power to go toe to toe against City.  Ronaldo isn't really doing well.  At least not as well as how much the club his paying him a week.  They should drop him imho.  And been hearing that Maguire hasn't been what he was expected to be.  Dunno, seems like there's still some issues that needs some fixing.

From my point of view, City is gonna win, they're going to win without conceding and they'll do it by scoring a goal or two in the second half.  IMHO.

Meriting this as I sometimes feel like a lone voice saying that Ronaldo is not helping them. Glad someone else sees it the same way! He was the wrong purchase for them, and he brings deficiencies to the team, notably his lack of work and lack of tracking back when out of possession. And these are deficiencies that other top teams will exploit. The downside is often masked by the upside, which is his goalscoring record. The problem is teams need to be teams, not collections of individuals.

Ronaldo plays worse than before because of his age - that's a fact. But his salary is determined not only by the game, but also by his name. At the moment he is one of the greatest and most recognizable athletes in the world and brings United more money than he spends on him. Another question is how much playing time should be given to him without compromising the club - this is a difficult question because even an older Ronaldo, when in good shape, plays better than other young strikers.

we have seen how the performance of Ronaldo's game has decreased. we often see him having to be withdrawn and replaced with other players to maintain the stability of the team. although sometimes Ronaldo regretted the actions of the coach who replaced him in the second half or even he had to be substituted in the first half.
however, it is the coach who sees how best to excel the team. of course the best game must be maintained for the full 90 minutes.

Personally, it's really less about how good Ronaldo is -- he's older, so not as quick, we all know that. His finishing is still right up there with the best though, but if you don't supply, you don't get chances to convert, and that's the real problem when building a squad around Ronaldo (as Juventus found out now he's left).

Key to this then is to have Pogba and Fernandes do their job. Stifle the midfield, get creative and provide the supply.

They can beat City, they always do, Pogba usually key to that. 10/1 for United to win (I have one bet already 9.8 waiting to out more once it's 10/1 or more), with their H2H against City? I'm taking that all day, any day.

I think it's too early to jump to conclusions in this story. As you rightly noted, Abramovich is an ordinary criminal element acting as Putin's wallet. The fact that he decided to deceive his master (become a "good guy" in the civilized world and, of course, keep some of Putin's money for himself) does not make him a good person.
I wonder if all this will affect Chelsea? At the very least, I expect that with the change of ownership, the financial policy of the club should change.
