Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Majestic-milf]

 It really did come as a shock to Man City that their first loss would come from Liverpool. If you had seen the game, you'd observe that Pep's men were playing with a kind of reserved confidence that since Arsenal were able to defeat them, it would be a piece of cake for the citizens to take them down, but as was expected, a tough, well fought match had to decide the winner and trust me, Liverpool earned it.

 But what was not really worth it was the red card given to Jurgen Klopp because he was actually pointing out the foul committed on Jota which was deserving of a free kick. He gets to be MIA for three games but this win would be worth it.

After having a great debut with Newscatle, now that Man United will face Tottenham Hotspurs now as a home team by Man United will this be even more difficult?
What we know is that Tottenham are still working hard to keep getting points so they don't fall behind Mancity or Arsenal who are a few points adrift, on the other hand, if I choose to bet on Man United, there's little doubt that they are not consistent enough even what we guess is always out of the question. His real guess is that Ten Hag is still hard to beat any other great team except Arsenal which he has beaten.
But it will be interesting between Ten Hag and Conte with his strategic ability.

Do you think that Liverpool are not a great team anymore, or have you forgotten that United beat them?  
With the Arsenal-City game canceled due to the Europa League (which was a surprise to me, what the hell?), the United-Tottenham game will definitely be the highlight of the tour. In fact, it’s even difficult for me to say who will be the favorite here, although on paper Tottenham looks stronger.

On paper and in real life Tottenham is stronger than Manchester United and Tottenham will likely win the match.
This is because Manchester United defence is good for now and their midfield is also fair but the finishing is poor . Man U find it  difficult to score against a small club Omonia in the Europa League the extended to Newcastle in their last week outing. So it will be near impossible for them to score Tottenham then it is very very difficult to defend Kane for 9g0 minutes without him getting a goal by crook or by hard work

This is a hard game to call. I think this is a must-win game for Manchester United, and I don't think that is the case for Tottenham. Considering that Manchester United didn’t get maximum points from their last game against Newcastle, they’d go into this game with the hope of winning and taking all the 3 points. At t he same time I know that Antonio Conte will want to make sure his team doesn't lose this match.

Before the match, I really doubt Liverpool can win in that match and it turned out to be wrong, in the first half the match didn't go like a big match, even in the second half, in my opinion.
Klopp knows how they have to penetrate the City defense, after going through a systematic attack that doesn't go well then the counter-attack is the most likely to do and it works well, and they also know the player whose movement must be guarded namely Haaland.
Sometimes when there is a player who is so prominent it will be very easy to be an opponent's aim to be guard, strength can be a weakness.
Arsenal fans will be very happy with the result, on top by 4 points leads will make them more confident.

With the appearance of an unstable performance, it is very natural that many of us doubt Liverpool will win the battle against Manchester City. but what happened on the contrary, Liverpool played quite effectively even though the possession of the ball was dominated by Manchester United. as a result, Jurgen Klopp can be a little relieved and breathe.

On the other hand, Arteta is very happy with the result Liverpool beat Man City for the first time in the Premier League this season.  that way, the Gunners widen their points gap with Man City and Tottenham by a difference of four points.

Finally, i hope that people will not be over reacted again with him. He was also a human like us. The performance from city and him can drop anytime and that's still remain unpredictable. The fact that once manchester city was facing a difficult team like liverpool and it was feeling so difficult to give a chance for him to make goal. In my opinion people who call him as a robot and making petition to ban him from EPL was just over reacting. Im actually believe if there will always be a team that can become even higher than city.
People were always forgetting this after seeing a striker that makes a lot of goals.

Agree. Liverpool's defense looked even better in that match. because even Haaland had a hard time getting a chance. and Manchester City's back line made a mistake so that the error gap could be exploited by M.Salah. and here we can see that Salah has good sharpness and accuracy. so that one mistake from Man City he can use to become a goal. and after losing to Liverpool then now people's assumptions are starting to change towards Man city. and Liverpool has now become not to be underestimated.

Your doubts about Liverpool before the match against Manchester City certainly have reason, considering Manchester City from the first week are unbeaten and Haaland's performance is so ferocious in scoring goals, whereas Liverpool are not in their best form since the Premier League started.

Even until the match was half-time, many still doubted Liverpool. Doubts were heightened when Phil Foden scored, although the goal was void as VAR showed Haaland pulled Fabinho first.
We've forgotten last week's result and the next focus is on getting the full points in the match vs West Ham United, which will be played on October 20 at Anfield.

I said it before the match that City back line us not good, anyteam can beat them. It was the same back line that Manchester United netted 3 times in the second half. The good tip to play City is to be mindful of their own post and score. If you are so interested in stopping Haaland, you may not be able to do so.
The call to ban Haaland was all just a joke and there was nothing serious about that. For Haaland not to get a goal against Liverpool doesn't mean he will not score hatrick this weekend.

[swogerino]

We have another week of Premier League right now in these three upcoming nights in the midweek.We start with 2 relatively easy games on paper only as we know in reality the Premier League cannot be real without some surprise results that characterize it.

For tonight though if we want to win some little money we should not be wrong if we go with Brighton win against Nottingham Forest since Nottingham is one of the weaker teams of the Premier League and playing away they have only had bad results,so most probably they will have another one tonight.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Erling Haaland has been outstanding this season scoring 15 goals in 9 appearances in the EPL. Although we expect him to score in such a crucial match, but it is not compulsory that a striker must score in all matches to prove himself. For now, he has shown that he has the capacity to help Manchester City win trophies, therefore not scoring against Liverpool is not a big deal.

Once again Pep overthinking got the best of him, players like Haaland are just like Ronaldo they play for the stats so the best way to keep them motivated and in form is to keep playing them especially on games they can score and keep up the hunger to want more goals. Pep resting Haaland for the last Manchester city champions league game was a mistakes and probably that was the reason behind Haaland not been able to find his rhythm in the game. Assuming he played the last champion league game and got a goal, even though he didn't play full 90mins, we probably would had seen a Haaland that'll want to break more records by scoring again but that hunger wasn't there and kudus to Liverpool for their impressive defensive work.

With Salah scoring and giving Liverpool the only goal in that game, maybe we might be seeing the old Salah getting back in form as he scored a hattrick in the last champion league game and now score another important goal. Salah hasn't clicked this season which has contributed to Liverpool poor start of the season. Salah getting his form back means Liverpool has a chance to get something out of the season.

[bering]

Since Potter left the performance of Brighton seems has decline even on their last 3 matches Brighton was failed to get win but today they will fight against the teams who in the relegation position Nottingham Forest and this is good chances for them to get 3 points considering Nottingham Forest was very weak this season and playing at home Brighton should be unitized this match with very well and apparently they are the favourite in this match because the bookie provide low odds for them @1.42 and for Nottingham Forest i feel like they will tasted another losses today

[makishart]

that's why the big team can reduce him easily if the defensive player was doing so well. Pep was complaining about the goal that is revoked by referee lol. City was actually making mistake for liverpool's  goal keeper.
I think that this team is complaining too much about that. That's why people were always focusing into a player that was showing a good performance until they forget if another big team can defeat it too.

It was very clear that the goal was not supposed to stand. Erling Haaland fouled Fabinho before the goal was scored by Phil Foden. Coach Pep Guardiola should focus on the next match against Brighton and stop claiming that the club was cheated. Virgil van Dijk was able to make Haaland powerless, his performance was extraordinary in that match. Regardless of that loss, Manchester City remains one of the most organized sides this season. This win should serve as a motivation for Liverpool to perform better.  

Yeah, it's foul before foden was making a goal. i don't know why pep was not even realizing it and keep complaining while it can be seen easily from the VAR if foul was happening before the goal. I hope pep will realize it as soon as possible. As a world class coach and that will be a shame for him to keep blaming referee about that. He must realize his misatke. that will be a shame if he will not see any moment correctly and blindly saying if it was a mistake by referee rather than try to see the clip. Liverpool is performing better in that match and we can't deny that. Liverpool deserves win

Sometimes I also think like that when the coach rests his best players for fitness reasons in more important matches. I like how Pep rotated in the Champions League and focused some of his players on the Liverpool game, but unfortunately they couldn't help Manchester City win.

Actually Manchester City scored the goal in that game which put Manchester City ahead, but unfortunately Haaland was considered a foul although on replays I think he was balancing his body so he wouldn't fall. The referee said otherwise, it was a foul and no goals. Allison's performance was also very good in that game, he made some great saves and kept the goal clean. I would think Manchester City could have won if Foden's goal hadn't been cancelled.

Liverpool's goal in this match was to share the points. They wanted a goalless draw. But they are very lucky to have managed to get the full 3 points. Liverpool was more focused on strengthening their defence in this match. Liverpool did not attack much in this match. But they had several good counterattacks. Alisson's assist was excellent. He is very clever. However, Liverpool's gameplay remained stable. And Liverpool managed to win this match because of the strong defence.

These were my exact words boss. I said it that if Haaland flops it is Guardiola that caused it. Why rest Haaland in a champions league that he needs to be scoring high number of goals. Why substitute Haaland when he already got 2 goals in a champions league match. Why not allow him get hatric. This is Haaland o'clock and he should be allowed to explore everytime. Bench him further and he will forget how to score.

I may not be popular for saying this because I personally agree with both of you, as someone who played myself, I can only understand the personal motivations. But Pep and Klopp are both team builders, who get the most out of individuals, but who want to fashion a machine that works as a sum.

Hence they are both the ones most likely to sub players on hattricks (Klopps done it to Salah and Firmino often this season already) but they also want to remind them I think that the team must win. He wants them to feel joy when the teams win, and feel equally bad when the teams lose -- not to dwell on bad performances when the team wins, or feel less responsible when the team loses.

We can blame managers for overthinking and tinkering, but their job is to win games and keep winning positions, while of course allowing players to collect accolades if and when the conditions are right.

Trust me. Haaland and Salah etc would love to break records and goals. But they'll take team medals around their necks and they will be the first to admit that.

it's true what you say. and that's really unfortunate. because when Graham Potter was at Brighton, we saw Brighton's performances keep improving. even they can keep their performance consistent in every game that time. And it shows the quality of coach Graham Potter is very influential. because now their performance has clearly decreased after Potter's stay. and Chelsea, which was originally slumped, gradually improved after the presence of Graham Potter as Chelsea coach.
but in this match the chance to win for Brighton is very big. because Nottm Forest is not a tough opponent for Brighton. and maybe this will be the easiest opponent for them. But it will be very surprising if it turns out Nottm Forest can hold Brighton to a draw. And the Premier League is always full of surprises.

[hahay]

Yes, even though Brighton played against Brentford yesterday I expected Brighton to win or at least draw with both teams to score. But Brighton lost even with a final score of 2-0 which of course, at least it was a defeat that should be more of a concern for them to immediately make improvements to keep their performances good. Also, regarding today's match which will be played against Nottingham of course it is an opportunity for Brighton to get points again. But, basically Brighton's position in the standings is still fine, I'm afraid the management won't make a quick move to get their performance back.

Finally, i hope that people will not be over reacted again with him. He was also a human like us. The performance from city and him can drop anytime and that's still remain unpredictable. The fact that once manchester city was facing a difficult team like liverpool and it was feeling so difficult to give a chance for him to make goal.

Although Liverpool can beat Manchester City but I don't think Liverpool this season is better than Manchester City, because Liverpool's performance is sometimes unstable which is of course difficult to predict. Even Liverpool often experience poor results when playing in European tournaments and also in the English Premier League against mediocre teams, and sometimes Liverpool get deadlocked to score goals. Vice versa, when Liverpool play against a top team, Liverpool can be perfect and that happened in yesterday's match against Manchester City. A result like this can happen at any time without anyone predicting it, even beforehand Manchester City could be held to a draw by Newcastle and also Aston Villa and that means, Manchester City are not too perfect to get consecutive wins and even though they have a terrible attacking line but it's not a guarantee too.

[Cookdata]

For the first time Haaland has failed to make a contribution in the game, this only shows that he is human after all lol. Klopp indeed is a world class coach and his ability to read games so well baffles me. I must admit the goal Foden scored got be scared and frowning because I was supporting Liverpool, thank God the goal was disallowed and Liverpool got an opportunity to take lead.

I think, Liverpool defenders really planned well for the match never to allow Haaland to achieve any goal from the match, and through out the match Haaland did not achieved any goal. Many small teams has defeated Liverpool or draw match with Liverpool but they never allow such thing to happen to them than to used their new tactics to defeated Manchester city 1-0 for the favour of Liverpool. If Liverpool can maintain this tactics they used to achieved victory from mighty Manchester city to play other matches, I think it will really help them to improve higher before the end of this tournament.

I think Liverpool isn't really happy with their past performances, it was all written on Klopp's face with the little drama that led him to get a red card during their match against Manchester City but people weren't saying anything about the quack Job ref did that day, it was poor in my opinion. However,  I have noticed the consistency of win or draw anytime Liverpool has a match in Anfield, they don't allow defeats in most of their matches.

1 draw and 1 loss and 3 Win from the last 5 matches is average and not a bad one I must confess, if Liverpool can have 3 win matches that can aggregate 9 points, they can easily make it to the top 4 under ideal conditions but would that be possible, West Ham, Nottingham and Leeds United shouldn't be that tough to conquer.

[CryptoPanda]

Arsenal has displayed poor performance yesterday that Leeds was playing better than them but they were lucky because Leeds players has wasted several times the opportunity to scoring goals one of them is when Patrick Bamford has failed to get penalty kick and maybe it will be different if Leeds can equalized the scores from it and i think Arteta should be evaluated the results of this match and no more mistakes for upcoming match because Arsenal next opponent is Manchester City who aiming 3 points after disappointed by Liverpool but Arsenal will play without Gabriel who got suspension

Leeds is not an easy side to just go over to their home and beat them easily, they are a tough side especially playing at home gives them a major boost in the game. We did what we could do probably not the best effort but it was good enough. We dominated the game in the first half and were pushed back in the second half thank God the team showed resilience and secured the 1 goal lead until full time.

I have the same thought regarding Liverpool's inconsistency. Liverpool are indeed a strong and seeded team even before the season started. but the real problem of liverpool is that they can't be consistent in maintaining their best form. so indeed in every Liverpool match it is sometimes difficult to predict. and for now Manchester city is more consistent in maintaining their performance. But in these few games Liverpool have shown improvement in maintaining their performance. and it started with defeating the Rangers. and continued by defeating Man city. but I am a little doubtful whether Liverpool will continue to show consistency in maintaining their best performance in the next matches. but I hope Liverpool can continue to be consistent from now on. because it will add to the excitement in the premier league. and if you look at the standings, now many changes have started. and make every match in the premier league always full of surprises.

Bench him further and he will forget how to score.

Pep Guardiola has very important considerations for Erling Haaland and maybe it has been read by Pep Guardiola that the enemy locks Erling Haaland movement so it is not easy to get the ball well so Pep Guardiola did that to Erling Haaland, but I'm sure Pep Guardiola will think about it Another strategy is for Erling Haaland to score many more goals, because the key to Manchester City' victory is only in Erling Haaland.
