Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[zaki12]

I'd think Arsenal would struggle against Chelsea, but should be able to beat Man U and West Ham without too much trouble.

Arsenal will struggle definitely against Chelsea for two reasons;
-Most players ( Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Granit Xhaka, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe) are on international duty at the moment, they will quickly have to adjust to the playing style of their country, to be able to do well for country as a team, after the break which is two weeks, when they have returned, the chemistry players had and the momentum the club had before the break may die down, we may struggle again to get our swagger back.

-Secondly, for the obvious reason that Chelsea is still a very strong and focused club to play against regardless of the problems the management is facing, arsenal may play well like we did against Liverpool but still not win.

Of all things, i hope none of our players sustain an injury during the international duty, that will be a disaster at the point in the competition.

Most likely arsenal will be overwhelmed with a super busy schedule.  Moreover, in April Arsenal will face Chelsea and Manchester United in just two days on 21 and 23 April.  With a super busy schedule, it will clearly be detrimental for Arsenal to maintain the position of the EPL standings.

I think the first priority is the EPL. As for any major team from the top 4 championships. Titles in championships starting from 5th are evaluated differently and I am sure that any champion of Portugal or France would give 2-3 titles for the Champions League.
The second priority is the Champions League. This cup is valued less than the national championship, but only because this result is somewhat random.
The third priority is all other national cups and stuff, such as the club world championship. This is nothing more than a nice bonus to the main achievements, but if the main titles are lost, then such titles do not change anything.

Yup, it's true that national league champions are more prestigious than European competitions like UEL and UCL, due to domestic competition are club and fan competition with teams from cities or provinces of one country. This is what makes the domestic league rivalry more prestigious. Indeed, being at the top of Europe provides a plus for the club, but mostly UCL is the second target.

I remember a few seasons ago, if I'm not mistaken Liverpool had failed to win EPL after City managed to win in the last game. Could this be Liverpool's revenge against City in the last week of the league and get the title?

[$crypto$]

I agree with you on this, I will also follow the latest news first after the UCL game, we never know if something will happen to important players later

We'll wait for because this match after the champions league there is definitely the possibility of changing players after playing UCL so I think it's better to wait for the latest news, maybe the bookie will change the bet.
But throughout this match choosing a draw in that bet is the most ideal in my opinion, considering both teams are so great at the moment I think even before the match I will reconsider.

if there is news regarding players who have to be absent from the match, the dealer will change the bet. because before the UCL Liverpool also had to face Watford and City had to face Burnley. I hope they both get a win, so when the two teams meet it will be even more exciting.
they will also meet again in the FA Cup, this is like a revenge match that will happen to both teams.

I hope that the players will not get injured during these two important matches, so the Mancity vs Liverpool match in the EPL will be exciting if their main players are complete with their formation.
I'm sure the bookie will definitely change the bet it will be seen how the two play even though the bookie will be slightly leaning towards Liverpool for a bigger chance, it looks like the meeting will continue until the FA competition later in mid-April.
It can be said that it is revenge if one of them loses later.

Manchester City and Liverpool will face equally easy opponents this week. So their position or point acquisition will not change at least for this week. And that will change at their meeting in the following week and even then if the match does not end in sharing points (draw).
I don't think they will drop points this week.

for now the performances of Manchester city and Liverpool are above average so everyone must be sure they will get full points.
I favor Manchester city more than Liverpool vs when they will face off next Sunday. however Manchester City have more quality players than Liverpool.

In encounters like that of Liverpool and Manchester city like this is not always easy because Liverpool are also a very strong side,and they always show class when they see big teams.The like of Mane Firminho and Salah are always there to ensure they get the win that is desired.
Therefore concluding that Mancity might will win in that their encounter will be wrong because I know what Liverpool are capable of doing when they see big teams.

I think it's a bit difficult for Manchester City to win against Liverpool now. They will play in the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on the 6th of April. On the 10th of April, they will play in the Premier League against Liverpool. And again on the 14th, they will play the second leg against Atletico. Manchester City will have to give their full strength to win against Atletico Madrid.
On the other hand, Liverpool will play against Benfica in the Champions League. A relatively weak opponent for Liverpool. So it is a bit easier for Liverpool to get good results in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Liverpool bis having Watford, I know they will win but will be a hard one.

Don't hesitate, Liverpool will win it even with a score that will take you by surprise. LOL
If you are a Liverpool fan then I hope you stay optimistic about winning because every 3 points is very important to overtake Manchester City if they make a mistake. So I think Liverpool will win, I'm optimistic about that.

Both teams still have plenty of time to prepare their players, so just wait.

Ha ha, but don't expect without a good fight from Manchester City. If you think Manchester City are easy to beat then I believe you are wrong about that. There is always a chance to win the match for all the teams that manage to create a lot of goal chances.

Manchester City and Liverpool are the two strongest teams currently in the Premier League. Both are hard to beat and I think the big match between these two teams will end in a draw. If Liverpool have a chance to win, then Manchester City have the same chance. Both teams will try to win the match to get 3 points which will allow them to secure their place and title chances. It will be interesting looking forward to this match.

Of all things, i hope none of our players sustain an injury during the international duty, that will be a disaster at the point in the competition.

The most decisive factor in the game between Arsenal and Chelsea will be the mentality of the teams, the team with stronger will and winning mentality will easily get the 3 points. We all know Arsenal have been on a fine form before the international break hits but they are also known for not been strong mentally against big sides. Just like coach Arteta, some fans are already complaining about their tight fixtures and from the look of things, this might creep into the heads of the players thus affecting their run in the EPL.

[Alanaz]

Manchester City and Liverpool are playing hard games mate, Burnley isn't a soft side, they can be  very stubborn.
But I think Manchester City will scale through, winning still keeps them on top of the table.
Liverpool bis having Watford, I know they will win but will be a hard one.

I don't know where you think of Burnley as a strong opponent but if you look at their current form aren't they the easiest opponent at the moment.
They are now a team that is often used as a goal barn by clubs that are above them, for example last week when they were beaten by chelsea with 4 goals there. So this won't be a big problem for them when facing Burnley

[Magicalking]

Let's see what Arsenal do in the rest of the season. They are still doing a great job in the fight for the fourth place. And we will see how long they will stay in this. I think that they are going to maintain their fight until the end. And they are one of the very close teams to ending the season at that place. But it is not going to be an easy job for them to maintain the place all the time. Tottenham and Manchester United would do their best to capture it. And maybe even West Ham too but I see them as the least likely.

Arsenal still on the race for finishing on 4th place standing position but still waiting how confidence and keep consistent on top performance with 11 match left, have habit with Arsenal inconsistent performance actually when primer league almost ended. Looking on schedule match left I see have potential with Arsenal could stuck to finish on 4th standing place because have three difficult match,

1. Chelsea vs Arsenal                     April 21th
2. Arsenal vs Manchester United    April 23th
3. West Ham United vs Arsenal      1st May

Listed as difficult match left from Arsenal and I think if could success get 9 point from three match above I think have potential with another match left will easy and have chance for finish on 4th standing place position.

Arsenal, chasing their first top-four finish since 2016, have another tricky run next month. They face back-to-back away trips to Southampton and Chelsea before a crunch home clash with their top 4 spot rivals Manchester United all within the space of a week. But here is the thing, Arsenal have 10 games left, 30pts available. Taking at least 24pts out of the available 30 will secure the top 4. I.e 54 + 24 = 78pts. Their top 6 games left; Chelsea(A), Manchester United(H) and Tottenham(A). Arsenal need to take at least 4 points from these 3 games and win others. Its won't come easy but that's the position they find ourselves right now. I am very positive Arsenal will pick complete points against Manchester united and maybe a draw against Tottenham.

It is really sad how Manchester United fans and legends are pinning the inconsistency of the club on Rangnick whereas the club have been plagued with inconsistent performance for years. Maybe, the only time they were pretty consistent and competitive was when they had Jose Mourinho but since they ganged up to sack him, they have worse season after season. I also think United don't have eyes for coaches that can solve their problem. Jose wasn't bad but after him, it was one bad choice after the other and also I see Ten Hag as another bad choice. He will definitely be the wrong fit and when the team isn't performing well, he will be blamed and the cycle continues.

Haha, I thought it was a joke about Manchester United. No coach has matched them after Sir Alex Ferguson. They were stronger with Carrick even if it was for a while but the rest was a joke in my opinion.

No titles are expected of Manchester United every season, they are weaker than we expected. I think Manchester United really have to forget their successful past with Ferguson and they have to work together as best they can with the new coach, whoever they work with.

[judas]

There shouldn't be such thing as getting bored of winning Premier League titles for Manchester City. The Premier League is the most prestigious league in the world I think.

You don't have to think bud, Premier league has always been the most prestigious league right from the beginning even when the likes of Messi and Ronaldo were playing at La Liga. We had just Real Madrid and Barcelona giving premier league teams issues in the champions league due to the financial backings this clubs had but now they're all crumbling majorly due to lack of finance. Just qualifying for top 4 in the premier league is an achievement on its own that's to show you how competitive the premier league is.

In regards to Manchester city getting tired of winning the premier league, I don't think that will ever happen. Infact if Manchester City can cast a spell to make them keep winning for the next ten years they'll because they have a lot to catch up on in regards to bragging rights on number of premier league trophies won. Right now Manchester united are miles ahead and didn't they just catch up to Chelsea?

You are right. Manchester City have newly reached Chelsea's championship amount. They both have five Premier League championships in their histories currently. And there is still a long way to go to break Manchester United's record which is 13 championships. Manchester City have built an awesome squad and they are one of the biggest clubs in the world now. For now, their most serious opponent in the league is Liverpool. Whatever opponent they have, I believe Manchester City will always continue to do their best to continue to win league titles. I'm sure that they are aiming to break that record too.

It will be interesting looking forward to this match.

The points difference for the moment is very thin, so both have higher targets, Manchester City is trying to take the points further while Liverpool is trying to surpass Manchester City's position by taking advantage of the next game. Because both of them are the strongest and most trusted candidates to show each other their existence as an unbeaten club, this will be even more stressful for both parties.

Agree with what you said even with Carick they kept on winning without losing
It's really hard to bring back the Sir Alex Era now especially with the performances of the coaches like this.
United are still very unlucky because their problem actually lies in their coaching and game so this is indeed still  continues now

I think the fault of many people who still believe this comes from Cristiano Ronaldo himself who said: "Manchester United can beat any team", but that was in the heat of the victory against Tottenham, at the time they were in 4th place, now they are in 6th.
It was "a stroke of luck" because United are losing even to a lot of small teams.

Now, anyone who bets on City's invincibility needs to open your eyes, Livrepool is glued and hasn't wavered like City in the last 5 matches they played.

[jakdanyel]

I wonder when we will be able to see Manchester United's prime again. They have the most number of championships in the Premier League by far now. But for many years, we haven't seen them even getting very close to making it again. The old spirit of the team still doesn't exist. And as long as they go on like this, they are not achieving anything that's for sure. Actually the lineup is really great now. This team can play seriously for the title normally but something is still going on terrible for them. I just hope to see them in this competition again as of next season.

The last premier league, Liverpool won could be argued to have been influenced by the outbreak of the COVID-19 that season hence they could run away with the title easily but since then they have struggled to do it. That been said, this season might be Liverpool best season under Klopp to grab the EPL title ; they have been having a consistent run of form and also having key officiating decisions to their favor too this season. Apart from the EPL, they also got a favorable draw in the UEFA champion's league;this will serve as a motivation to them plus they are just 1 point off Manchester City, all they need do is beat City and there after, continue with their form and the EPL title is theirs.

Unless they need to strengthen their defence a lot and they need a responsible presence in defence. Maybe in the form of someone in defence line or maybe as a defensive midfielder who can take some responsibility and show some commitment then that will certainly be a change is what I feel. Right now I don't see any kind of proper commitment in defenders or defensive midfielders. I think its time to replace some of the players.

I agree, both teams' opponents are pretty weak. I don't think we'll see any surprises either. They will have easy wins next week and the most important thing is the turn of the match.
According to the result of the match between these two teams, who will be the champion can be determined, this will be one of the most important matches of the year

I think if you say normal line up it can't be said like that either. For the line up in midfield and forward it is quite good but for the back line I do not dare to say it is good because indeed they are currently quite bad at the back. on the other hand they also still lack about leadership there and their playing tactics are really old-fashioned in my opinion, especially when managed by Rangnick now.
