Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Dewi Aries]

Exactly as many predicted Manchester City ended the match with a big win even we can describe like the top team against the lowest team
70% ball possession proves that Manchester United can't do anything they seem to have lost their way. This defeat will be a record for United to overhaul the squad next season.

Manchester United suffering did not stop there. After losing 4-1 at the Etihad stadium, Manchester United will have another western challenge. Next week Man United will host Tottenham at Old Trafford, then Ralf Rangnick's men will meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. They will also be met with Liverpool and Leicester City in the Premier League.
The busy schedule and a meeting with a strong team drain the energy of Manchester United players, especially since Man United performance has not returned to its best form. If Man United does not immediately find his best form, the chances of playing in the Champions League a next season are very small.

Yes I can see it their focus is on 2 competitions of course this is not an easy choice because both are equally important
Next week against Tottenham Manchester United can expect a draw because in champions league their target is to win so they have to save some players , Rangnick's abilities will be tested here how does he apply the right strategy.

Of course, if you look at the track record of Manchester City's previous matches, big scores are often obtained when Manchester City against lower-tier teams which actually don't deserve the result of Manchester United getting that embarrassing score. Yes, at least lose by a narrow score.
Even in dominating the game, it is not comparable to a big team like Manchester United because the comparison of ball possession is very far from Manchester City, even the overall statistics are very far from Manchester City.
There will be no end to discussing the Manchester United squad and coach throughout this season because nothing has changed, we'll see what the next few league games with Manchester United look like.

Man City was really dominated the match with 70% ball possessions and 10 shots on goals so 4-1 final score is deserved for them and before the match begin i was worried about unstable performance from Man Utd that's why i don't dare to bet on them and unfortunately it was happend that Man Utd playing bad although there was several chance to scoring goals but Man Utd players cannot utilized it

When the score was still 1-0, the MU players were still playing well although not too good because they were able to press ManCity players so Sancho had a chance and managed to score 1 goal with this goal MU equalized the score to 1-1 ManCity players continued to press Manchester United midfielder with performance which was very consistent and made Kevin De Bruyne score again, goal after goal so that at the end of the match MU had to accept a crushing defeat with a score of 4-1 because the MU players looked very difficult to match the host's game which appeared too brilliant.

I don’t know what’s the truth unless Ronaldo comes out and say he was fit but was dropped for this clash, like the way we saw Lingard and Martial rebuke the coach claims.

But Ronaldo's absence is indeed very suspicious, the excuse used by Rangnick regarding a hip injury is also not the first time.  There is something strange and Ronaldo should be able to tell the truth, Man United's condition is not doing well.  How can a star as important as Ronaldo miss his game for the same reason, namely a hip injury.  Wasn't it at the beginning of January also experienced this.  Just like an excuse made up.

[abhiseshakana]

I expected Manchester United to lose this game because they are well below Manchester City standard especially when Manchester City need the victory

The players' quality of Manchester City should be better than Manchester United. So, it is very reasonable if Manchester City wins the match, no doubt if they can play better. Yes, City needs 3 points in this match, it is very crucial that they are competing with Liverpool for 1st place. We also need to understand Manchester United attack is weak, Ronaldo and Cavani were absent because of injured.

I think not really important without Ronaldo and Cavani were absent because injured because Manchester City have top performance and looks different quality player between United and City. I think Manchester City as best team with Pep Guardiola can win with 4 goals without have central forward, played with 9 false formation looks Manchester City most dominance than Manchester United although have central forward player but still less quality than City player, now have hard position standing for Manchester United after defeating by City because drop 5th position standing and Arsenal still have two match left than United.

If Ronaldo and Cavani played in the match against Man City, I think Manchester City will still win that game. Well, maybe there will be a difference in goals, but it will not be enough to bring Man United to be able to steal points from Man City. We all know that Man City is on fire, their performance is promising and they are playing at home, so they deserved to win.

One of the obstacles that Man United is facing is their weak defense. As long as there is no improvement in Man United's defense, I think Man United's opponents in the remaining match have a good chance to beat Man United.

ronaldo even though the person who is always waiting for, if it wasn't from an actual incident/injury there would be a problem in my mind right now, and why is it like that? short that watching matches or other moments, whatever the reason, I personally am really waiting, I hope that Ronaldo can play again and without any problems, I miss the amazing action and strategy
and i think ronaldo will still be bright for an achievement from a win, of course teamwork that i miss, for some points difference and goal achievement that makes sense to predict

Everton with another difficult game tonight, I really can't believe they are in a serious relegation fight. Their team is not great but I expected them to end in the middle of the table without any serious issues. They have some really good players there - their team is 3x more valuable than most of their relegation counterparts.

Tottenham however can fully close the gap to United and they need to win to put more pressure on Arsenal. They are definitely my favorites to win tonight.

I would say Manchester United was in the track till 25th minutes of match time. After that their performance tends to be weak. They lose the momentum of the game. After the first half ended 2-1, I thought maybe in the second half Manchester United would get back on track and score. But in the second half, as usual, we saw the reign of the City's players.

Ronaldo is a very ambitious player and considering how many golden balls he has, it is clear that he wants to win more.
But apparently it will be very difficult to win any trophies with this Manchester. At the same time, it should be noted that the composition of the team is excellent, capable of beating anyone.
The main mystery is why they won't hire a top coach? Why they hire a very average coach for such a top team?
Manchester is a team with money and a name, they could hire almost any coach on the market (well, maybe except Guardiola and Klopp) and it was unclear why they hired Rangnick.

[LGD2Business]

Manchester City won the match, which they played very well, comfortably. They used the weakness in Manchester United's defense very well. De Bruyne showed what a great player he is. He can score very simple goals when he gets the chance. Some players like to complicate things, but the main thing is to score goals the easy way. Mahrez's goal in the corner organization was funny because United made the same mistake twice.

Tottenham have a big chance of winning, plus Tottenham play at home, Tottenham also have to fight to be able to catch Mariam London in fourth place in the standings. out of the relegation zone, at least Everton should be able to bring home one point, because in the previous meeting Everton lost, beaten by Southampton, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Newcastle and Norwich, they only won once against Leeds, in week 25, it would be a shame if a club as great as Everton was eliminated from the EPL.

[Igebotz]

Is there anything that differs between what I said and your responses to my post? I've previously explained why he wasn't in the starting lineup, and you quote me and said the same thing.

This isn't true, he had an injury and may miss their next game, he may be having troubles with the coach or something, but it's difficult to accept what the papers report these days. I hope this help.

People saying different thing concerning christiano Ronaldo absent in the match, its not true to say Ronaldo is having issues with is coach. The main reason Ronaldo was absent in the match is because he has and injury which he can not come up to the pitch to play with his injury. It is better for him to go break to recover himself.

Ragnick is not your usual coach; he spent the majority of his past ten years as a director at various clubs; he's probably out of coaching ideas; and he's only a caretaker; after the season, he'll become the club advisor, as agreed.

Manchester City had a really great match against Manchester United yesterday. Like most people, I also found the first half very impressive and competitive. Manchester United managed to keep up with their opponent and performed very well. After a 2-1 ending, I hoped a similar half again. But Manchester City completely dominated the other half and destroyed them by 4-1. Manchester United magically couldn't even have any shot attempt. It was a really poor performance there. And even if Ronaldo was able to play, I think they would have still lost this match.

Manchester United looked like a bottom club in their 28th game against Manchester City and Manchester City didn't feel any pressure at all during the match. This is proven by Possession (%) 70:30. In the future, Manchester United's task will be even more difficult to stay in the fourth position of the standings which is a position to automatically qualify for the Champions League group stage.
For me, the defense must be completely changed, especially Maguire (CB) and A. Wan-Bissaka (RB). The position of DM and CM must also be replaced.

The 4-1 score was very deserved by Manchester City in that match.

They already knew Manchester United's weakness long before this match started. Surprisingly Manchester United themselves cannot realize that their defense is one of the worst weaknesses of all lines. As a result we can see now how Manchester City can use it to become a victory. I think at the end of the season after the transfer window opens they have to completely overhaul their players.

i dont know exactly why some is worry about the absent of Ronaldo, already from the possession everyone knows that Manchester city meant to defeat Manchester united, even though c Ronaldo was present for the match the would have also commenced, because from the first half is only when Manchester united played ball but the second half was like exactly what Chelsea played Burnley

They have some good individual players, but just don't function as a team (and Ronaldo, when he is playing, only worsens this problem).
I think there is almost zero chance of United qualifying for the Champions League this year. Arsenal have already leapfrogged them into fourth place, and have three games in hand.
In fact it looks reasonably likely that Arsenal could even overtake Chelsea to finish third

United should be looking at teams below them, not teams above them. West Ham are only two points behind. Spurs are five points behind, but have three games in hand. It's by no means certain that United will even finish in the top six.

Every person that know or understand football will know that Manchester United cannot win Manchester City with their form. The person will also know that Manchester United cannot have draw. Even if Ronaldo play there will be no difference. But my annoyance is that this is Manchester Derby and I was not expecting Manchester City to defeat Manchester United so so obviously with many goals. It is a let down.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I didn't have much expectation from Manchester United in this derby game. And they didn't surprise me.    Maybe things would have been much different if they maintained their eager-to-win look during the whole game but they were very inconsistent about that. And it brought their end by a 4-1 score. And this result helped Arsenal keep their place in the standings. They are the new owner of the fourth place now. And they can pull away from Manchester United as they have three games missing too. But it depends on their consistency.

[Pokapoka124]

I always wonder if the so-called glory days of Manchester United wasn't overhyped. The truth is the Alex Ferguson era wasn't as competitive as it is now. At a point, United rival was Arsene Wenger Arsenal and they were not very consistent season to season. The exposure to the flaw in Ferguson era was the introduction of Jose Mourinho to the EPL. Chelsea became a force. Wining the title back to back.. Unfortunately, Jose left.. Giving Ferguson another 2 seasons to win the title. But as richer owners invested in EPL teams as we saw in Manchester City, it was beginning of the end of the era in United. Apparently, it was City that forced Ferguson to retirement because he saw the competition is more stiff and rugged than before.
