Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[el kaka22]

Everyone is expecting City to win and I like it when the league is like this and someone else wins. I mean it would probably be more about the fact that it is not going to be that much of a problem when the whole season is said and done and City lifts the cup and that would be a bit boring but would probably what everyone expects.

However, if we have a season where City just ends up with a loss here and there and someone else wins? Even if that team is Liverpool (unlikely for now but they are a good team) then it would still be a good season to watch, if it is a team like Arsenal then it would be insane to watch, Arteta would be praised to hell for sure by every pundit.

Erling Haaland has been in great form so far. He has been doing well in both Premier League and Champions League. But winning the Ballon d'Or won't be easy for Erling Haaland. Messi or Ronaldo may not compete for the Ballon d'Or. But Lewandowski and Benzema will do their best to win the Ballon d'Or this season. I think Erling Haaland, Lewandowski and Benzema will mainly fight for the Ballon d'Or this season. Each is now in great shape. And the main target of all these three players is to win the Ballon d'Or.

Things are changing very quickly with now we are pushing behind two legendary soccer players and replacing by Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski which are new era players for this game and millions of soccer fans, hopefully they will keep rivalry and spirit of this game with their positive and fair play. After these surely time will change again, and we will have new pairs like Erling Haaland and Mbappé which are going to replace them in coming years with their game and skills, which is surely an amazing thing in this game of skills and opportunities.
In current situation things are clearly favouring Karim Benzema as he achieved few good things for his team and Robert Lewandowski is also coming behind him which is good competition for these both for this Ballon d'Or award.

^ By the way, Did you know that Karim Benzema is the best player in FIFA 23?
Yes, exactly that's how good he was in the last season with Real Madrid. Obviously, he is not going to be able to perform really well for a long time since he is already 34 years old. But in the era of Haaland and Mbappe, 34 years old performing like this is obviously exceptional. I am quite sure that Benzema is going to win the Ballon d'Or. But in this season it is going to be interesting to see the performance of both Robert Lewandowski and Benzema

^

Haaland is simply too strong and he is playing for a club which dominates Premier League. They often have very high ball possesion and create many opportunities each match. Haaland only has to complete attacking efforts of Manchester City and score goals. They don't care how he scores, easy or impressive, it is not a matter. Matter is scoring goals and covert ball possession, opportunities to goals and wins.

Ballon d'Or, that is too soon to discuss. Haaland will have to compete with Mbappe who is his biggest competitorsl for personal titles. They will create a new version Messi and Ronaldo competition in next 10 years or longer.

^Really?
I know that Haaland and Mbappe are the two best players in the world currently who are going to be the future of football. But I still don't think that they can replace the legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Those two have given the world some mesmerizing moments that cannot be repeated. At least I don't think the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi can be challenged.

The difference between Manchester City and Liverpool this season is night and day. I have no explanation for Liverpool's extremely weak performance. If you're going to compare the players individually between City and Liverpool, that could well be the reason. If City has a bad day, you always have De Bruyne with a great inspiration or Haaland who is always in the right place. if things are not going well at Liverpool, then you really only have Salah who can score a goal but he can't be served. A long and difficult season. It would be nice if Arsenal could compete for the championship one day.

There is no way to say that Liverpool's squad is weak. Their squad is very strong. But their performance is not stable. They are missing Sadio Mane. Liverpool is not able to perform well due to the striker's bonding with the midfield not being good. I think if Nunez is able to adapt to Liverpool's players then Liverpool will perform well. Otherwise, such unstable performance will continue.

Manchester City and Arsenal's performance is excellent. However, Arsenal lost points against United in the last match. If they can't get back on the truck quickly they will lose the top spot on the points table. Arsenal players are very confident. I think they can stay at the top of the points table for some more time.

I think the squad that Liverpool have is very good, even a lot of quality players that Liverpool have. But as you said they played unstable because
they lost Sadio Mane who was one of Liverpool's key players the previous season. Then Darwin Nunez who is Liverpool's new striker has not been
able to adapt to the game in the Premier League, even Nunez can't control his emotions well. While Mohamed Salah's performance has decreased
slightly this season. So this is Jurgen Klopp's job as a coach so that he can motivate Liverpool players to be able to play better. I'm sure Liverpool
in the near future will slowly recover and become a strong team again. Liverpool supporters and Liverpool management must be patient and give
Klopp time to improve Liverpool's poor form at the start of this season.

Then for Man City and Arsenal, it can be said that the performance of the two teams is fairly consistent so far, although Arsenal lost in their last game
in the Premier League. But Arsenal slowly started to bounce back and could win against Zurich in the Europa League. Hopefully Arsenal can continue
to play consistently until the end of this season, and at least Arsenal can be in the top 4. For Man City, there is no doubt that they are still
the strongest candidate to win the Premier League trophy. Moreover, Erling Haaland is very productive, being Man City's best purchase so far.

[Marvell1]

Luckily Manchester City managed to get Erling Haaland because his presence can make progress for Manchester City and it has been seen that his contribution there is very much because so far Erling Haaland has scored 12 goals in eight matches that have taken place, so this is really a great achievement for the club. Erling Haaland early in his career at Manchester City.

They know what they need to have in order to improve their quality. They have good capability to control matches with dominating ball possession and they also manage to create lot of opportunities. They did play without a real or top striker in last few seasons. Haaland is a player who can help them to solve that issue. With Haaland, Manchester City can finalize their ball possession and opportunities to more goals.

More important, with Haaland they have another approach to break defense of clubs that only want to play with a serious defensive bus to protect their goalkeeper.

Lastly with Haaland, they will have a talented player who can play for them more than 10 years. It's an important reason they rejected to sign a contract with Ronaldo in the past season and waited patiently to get Haaland.

Considering Haaland and saying that he can perform well for them for more than 10 years might be looking forward a bit too far. Because the first reason why he is even on the team is they want to win the Champions League title. You know, they are already the winners of the English Premier League title. That's why the bar of quality and expectation is a lot higher than Manchester City.

So if they are able to get better performances, and by getting better performances I mean winning the Champions League, then I think Haaland is going to stay in the team for a long time but if they are not able to achieve those things I don't think he is able to stay for longer.

It is not very right to say that Liverpool is weak, personal opinion I would say they are not weak just that they are unable to find a way forward with the team after Mane departure. It is weird that Liverpool believed that Mane departure would not affect their team. Mane work rate is very high, and there is likely no team that will not miss his presence.
Todays champions league, Klopp played Jotta instead of Nunez or Firmino, maybe he has found a way to solve his problem.

[Cookdata]

arsenal has a target stop in the top 4 is very reasonable IMO. Arsenal's opponent in the EPL match is Brentford and most likely arsenal will win but after that arsenal will face Tottenham and Liverpool, I'm not sure if arsenal will be able to maintain their position in the standings while man city continues to follow from behind with great potential to shift arsenal's position.

Looking at what they have played in the past season, it will be a bonus point for Arsenal when they meet with Brentford and it could also be a draw line if they fight hard because of what they did to Manchester United last few weeks, besides it is their home, they wouldn't want to be shamefully defeated by any team.
History always has it that Arsenal always find it hard to penetrate through Liverpool but now that Mane who always create a chance for them is gone, who knows they can protect their defences and focus on attack, Tottenham is the same, it is not a team they can flip with goals.

In as much as Manchester City are doing well and with Pep Guardiola demanding more and more from them I still don't fancy Manchester City winning the Premier League this season.
The Premier League is not La Liga not Bundesliga, yes Pep Guardiola is a perfectionist yeah but it'll be very difficult for him to achieve that results.
I'm also no Arsenal supporter's club or fan, but, if you do your check, you'll see they haven't grabbed the league in a long time and also they have been of good form playing decent football.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur remains my top favorites to win the Premier League, it remains unpredictable, but my hunches deep down tells me the Premier League deciders will be amongst them.

[AakZaki]

When Man City failed in the Champions League last season, it makes Guardiola open his eyes, that Man City really needs a striker. For that Man City signed Haaland for a fairly high transfer value but it's worth it because the contribution Haaland has made to Man City so far has certainly lived up to Guardiola's expectations. We all know that Premier League still has a long way to go and everything can still change but I think Man City is still the strongest candidate to win the EPL this season.

In the EPL he has proven capable of making incredible statistics. I thought at the beginning he was quite difficult but after a few games it looked like he had adapted well.  Of course their hope Haaland will continue to be fit and provide a lot of goals for them.
I think Haaland and Nunez will initially be the strikers competing to make the most goals. But Nunez doesn't seem to have found the best game yet. In fact I think Nunez lost to Haaland. As well as Liverpool they are unstable, Kloop seems to have a problem to solve.

[CryptoPanda]

Manchester City's form this season cannot be compared with Liverpool's poor form. Liverpool have some work to do to get them back to winning again. Manchester city are looking much more favorites to win the league again this season, Arsenal have showed they can be competitive but I doubt their squad is good enough to carry them till the end of the season.

Yes they have to improve first before they can finally be compared to Manchester City. It's interesting to see him the team that was talked about a lot at the start to be the favorites to get a different result. Even not only in terms of the team, their two new recruits also got very different results. Haaland has been able to show his quality with Manchester City, while Nunez is still very difficult at Liverpool.

When Man City failed in the Champions League last season, it makes Guardiola open his eyes, that Man City really needs a striker. For that Man City signed Haaland for a fairly high transfer value but it's worth it because the contribution Haaland has made to Man City so far has certainly lived up to Guardiola's expectations. We all know that Premier League still has a long way to go and everything can still change but I think Man City is still the strongest candidate to win the EPL this season.

Manchester City's failure to win the Champions league last season taught Pep Guardiola a lesson, a very important lesson that has made Guardiola sit up and decided to go all out in the transfer market to get a very good striker in Haaland who has strengthened the team even more and made Guardiola's attack very formidable. Manchester city are currently the strongest team in the league and the top favorite to win the league.

History always has it that Arsenal always find it hard to penetrate through Liverpool but now that Mane who always create a chance for them is gone, who knows they can protect their defences and focus on attack, Tottenham is the same, it is not a team they can flip with goals.

Winning Brentford is not going to be as easy as predicted they have managed to win the likes of United with 4 goals and leads with 5 goals conceding only two goals in six matches. And in all their premier league matches the have had at least one goal. It will take Arsenal more effort to play Brentford compared to what how much effort they gave when they played against united. It might turn out to be more easier for them when they will be playing Liverpool seeing how their midfield keeps having lapses

Liverpool are not as strong as Arsenal this season, so there is a chance that Arsenal will defeat Liverpool, even though history shows that Liverpool always look very hard to be defeated by Arsenal; this season, the story will change because Mikel Arteta's Team are very ready to compete and restore Arsenal's dignity.

[TopT3ns]

Manchester City's failure to win the Champions league last season taught Pep Guardiola a lesson, a very important lesson that has made Guardiola sit up and decided to go all out in the transfer market to get a very good striker in Haaland who has strengthened the team even more and made Guardiola's attack very formidable. Manchester city are currently the strongest team in the league and the top favorite to win the league.

With the right decision when buying Erling Haaland they finally got a good result because so far Erling Haaland's contribution has been quite a lot and can bring Manchester City to win in several matches, tomorrow they will be against Dortmund and Erling Haaland will meet his old friend, we'll see what will happen to Erling Haaland's game whether it will perform better or not.

I can't help but laugh. Are you opposing my motion because you support Arsenal or because you believe Arteta can miraculously turn the match around? No doubt, Arsenal is the new talk of the league table, but trust me, they won't go far, when you need them the most, they usually disappoint, and they play great when no one cares.
We have had a week without a match, the following week will be exciting, and I am looking forward to seeing what they play against Brentford on Saturday. I expect a straight win and would love to have this risk on the bookie.

[Pokapoka124]

Sadio Mane was a key player in the Liverpool team and his absence have left a major gap that even the new replacement have not been able to fill in. I bet they are suffering the kick back of their decision made in the summer window. Mane was always there in tough games like this and always had his ways of getting the goals out of the blue and now they lack that kind of player that will always put in that extra effort and pull them through.

[zuzie]

Liverpool's narrow win in today's match gave them a better place than ever in the Champions League group stage. It is also a good start to recover the mentality of the players after last week's humiliating defeat from Napoli.
This win is also expected to be the beginning of the next winning streak, apart from Liverpool will host Brighton in the 9th week of the EPL, Liverpool will also visit to the Emirates Stadium which is one of the strongest Premier League clubs currently under the management of Mikel Arteta.

[Pokapoka124]

Erling Haaland, the Ronaldo & Messi replacement. Maybe each of us can imagine the new Ballon d'Or nomination and if Haaland continues and he will successful in the Premier League and Champions League, he will win this. There is only one who stands in his way and that is Lewandoski. But Haaland is over 10 years younger and hopefully he will get better from year to year. Now 6 Matches an 10 goals, ohyes.

Erling Haaland is already dubbed the new Christiano Ronaldo for his pace, height and ability to score many goals, just 6 weeks into the league and Haaland has ten goals already, Manchester City spent a lot of money to acquire the signature of Haaland, It will be difficult to compete with a player like Haaland for the league's top scorer and it will be no surprise to see Haaland winning the Champions league with Manchester City.

we don't expect too much even to have 10 goals statistic, Haaland is still to be examined for the next event, Champions League and FA Cup. Based on the last session, what is his weakness?. injured. if it continues playing without substitution, that makes him susceptible for injured, and I'm sure it will take a long time to heal

Yeah but it seems like liverpool just need more time to adapt with a new play without him. he was performing so good in bayern. Liverpool just need to be more consistent. The next match will against a big team in EPL. Im sure that if this will become a real examine for liverpool. We know that chelsea hsa been starting to build a good team after some lose in a row that faced by the club. Im not feeling doubt if liverpool gonna be all in. mane was actually giving a very big impact to the liverpool.

Yep, Haaland performance is impressive. He deserves to be called as a new C. Ronaldo or a new Ibrahimović. He is fast, strong, and very sharp in scoring. Of course, no strikers can compete with him to be the top scorer in EPL right now. He already scored 10 goals, while other strikers just scored below 6 goals. Haaland is very likely to be the top scorer of EPL this season since he is the main CF of Man City. He is also supported by great midfielders and wingers, he always gets nice assists. There is a big chance for him to score more and more goals.

For UCL, it is quite difficult to determine whether Haaland can win it. There are too many strong teams in UCL and they have strong defenders. Haaland may get difficulties facing a strong team like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. But yes, it won't be surprised if he can win it with Man City this season if he continues playing with his best.

Is not an easy feat to score ten goals in six matches in your debut season, talk more of doing it at England,I really think he is the closest player to Christiano Ronaldo and messi in terms of scoring lot of goals in a single season,yes he can win the balloon d'Or if he continues like this and win the champions League for Manchester city, he seems to be the missing piece in that pep gaudiola city team,he has all what a striker needs, pace, techniques,good in the air, has good long range shot in his legs, can score with both feet, he is just like zlatan and lawandowski but the reasons those two didn't win the balloon d'Or is because of Messi and Ronaldo but haaland generation is different,he is much younger so he can do it.
