Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Odusko]

The truth is, every right-thinking football fan will know that Liverpool have being underperforming thos season and there may not recover from that underperformance any time soon.
Since Liverpool has been on total deline status since the beginning of this season and I dont think anything will change from what we already have since the beginning of this season.

I don't think Arsenal is a kind of coach to undermine any side. Arsenal are going strong in the title race and with draw in last game against Southampton, they will be hoping to get their consistent winning run back again. Nottingham undoubtedly surprised in their last fixture but Liverpool this season haven't been in their best shape either. Arsenal are looking solid this season so Nottingham at best can upset Arsenal with a draw. Hope that Arsenal will be able to get enough goals to secure the game and the 3 points as early as possible.

Arsenal do not want to repeat their failure to take full points last week when held by Southampton, failure to get full points give little warning for Arsenal with first standing not safe because under position have Manchester City behind 2 points left. Another time failure against with Nottingham Forest in this weeks Arsenal have to give first place standing for Manchester City. Nottingham Forest's performance undoubtedly after last week games success defeated Liverpool because looking on position standing unbelievable with second won in this season.

Arsenal must win from Nottingham Forest if want in the tittle race and never loss points anymore because Manchester City almost one step closer waiting for Arsenal failed will back to top standing.

Arsenal lost against PSV and had a draw against Southampton. That is not a credible performance from the team which is at the top of the English Premier League right now. It is understandable that the Europa League can sometimes be unpredictable at times. However, how is it possible that they could drop points against Southampton? That is just absolutely unacceptable.

Their next match will be against Nottingham Forest, and I don't think they will have too many problems with them in that game. The game is going to be a match between one of the top teams in the table and the absolute bottom team in the table. This should be an easy win for Arsenal and they should be able to take all three points easily.

[Jody.Drummer]

Because right now, Arsenal is holding top rank and Manchester City is chasing them which is surely looking both could be at this level for long time and Tottenham is slipping with Chelsea and Manchester Unites are ready for taking this spot which is also good surprise package Newcastle United is also at their best, and they can give shock to all teams with having their spot for Champions League as well.

Position in the Premier League standings is very competitive. And there are many big clubs that have great potential. Currently, Arsenal has dominated the top runk in the stadium for a few weeks. And it looks like it will be the same in the future.

But that doesn't mean it won't change. There are still a lot of games, especially Man City are also currently in very good form. Positions 4,5, and 6 will be very interesting where they must not be careless or they will be pushed to the bottom if they make a mistake by losing 1 time and others win steadily.

At the beginning of the league Brighton played quite promising and perched in the top 5 standings, but failed to maintain it. Now Newcastle are also trying to provide competition to the big clubs by being ranked 4th in the standings. Meanwhile, the arrival of a new coach made Chelsea better and managed to enter the top 5 standings. The competition between them is very tight, of course with the acquisition of tight points between Arsenal and Manchester City which has a difference of 2 points. I'm sure this will change in the near future, because in the Premier League it's difficult to predict which club will surprise. It could be that the bottom clubs beat the top clubs in the standings.

Liverpool lost to Nottingham in the last round, so you can expect anything from them. What happened to Leeds is not entirely clear, but their game is not the best now, of the last 8 matches, two draws and 6 defeats. Liverpool will not improve their position much if they win, but Leeds need to get out of the relegation zone, but at Anfield, not many teams have a chance of a positive result.

Liverpool's loss against Nottingham Forest should not be used as a determinant of the match against Leeds United. Leeds United have lost their four past matches and are very desperate to leave the relegation zone. But Liverpool player’s confidence have greatly improved after a convincing 3-0 win over Ajax. Although we had so much shock last week because of unpredictable result we had. But Liverpool would definitely win this match, except mother luck shines at Leeds.

man city continues to hope that arsenal will make a fatal mistake but let the arsenal fans underestimate nottingham forest because I am sure that Arteta and the arsenal squad will not do that, they will think this is an important match because arsenal has not dominated the EPL, what a rare opportunity.

I am sure that Mikel Arteta would feature a strong side against Nottm Forest and it would be a very interesting match. Currently Nottingham is trying to avoid relegation and their win against Liverpool has showed that no team is unbeatable. I am sure Arsenal understands that any mistake can make them lose their number one position.

[bekti3]

Sadio Mane has not been shown enough respect by Liverpool management. He was neglected in the Liverpool team. Liverpool has always favored Mohamed Salah. And after Sadio Mane left, it became clear just how important he was to the team. However, Liverpool is yet to find a suitable replacement for Sadio Mane. They have several talented players in their attack. But their performance is still weak due to the lack of bonding between the players. They need more time to stabilize. Also I think they need to strengthen their midfield.

There is always that one guy who is ready to work his ass up to assure there team se victory and Sadio Mane was that man for Liverpool. They clearly didn't appreciate his works as to how much work he was putting in to raise his pay cheque. Am sure they never expected such a fall in the quality of play, given the quality of players that are still on the team. Did Klopp really thought that Sadio Mane would almost wash away like Phillipe Coutinho. I mean no disrespect, his still in the games but, his unheard of like his times in Liverpool.
Even best for Sadio Mane, his gaining the fans favour in the Bundesliga.

Actually, in this case I don't really agree if this only relies on Mane but indeed in this case you are a little bit right, although indeed if we look at that time Mane did not want to extend the contract so Liverpool made the decision to sell Mane.

Now it seems there is nothing to regret because it has happened, the most important thing for Liverpool is to organize with the existing squad although it is quite difficult now but that doesn't mean they can't.

[Rruchi man]

I am sure that Mikel Arteta would feature a strong side against Nottm Forest would be a very interesting match. Currently Nottingham is trying to avoid relegation and their win against Liverpool has showed they that new team is unbeatable. I am sure Arsenal understands that any mistake can make them lose their number one position.

It is a must win game for us (Arsenal), we can't allow Manchester city get ahead of us before the world cup break. Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool, We also defeated Liverpool, so we cannot bank on that basis alone that they will win Arsenal. Nottingham Forest celebrated winning a big club like Liverpool, they will be looking to add Arsenal to the list and Arteta must not allow that.

We cannot afford to switch off in the second in the game like we did in the Southampton game and allow them have chances, we must put pressure on them from the start to the end of the game. We need the momentum and points before we go to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.

Yeah it's like the most competitive league as you know that at some point ... the 1st position with 10th position sometimes has only a couple points away and the 6th to relegation zone as well has lower than ten points away which it's make the most difficult to predict especially in these early stage.

Speaking about arsenal .. i doubt they could resist from manchester city pressure , it takes 1 slipped match from arsenal for manchester city to takeover the 1st place.

Since Liverpool has been on total deline status since the beginning of this season and I dont think anything will change from what we already have since the beginning of this season.

The bad result against nottingham forest has been making it even worst. I don't even know what to say about the result from that match. It will make bookmaker will try to put less odds for liverpool for the upcoming match. The performance is really inconsistent at this moment. It seems very difficult thing to chance the performance from liverpool. It can perform better in the champion league but the performance in the EPL looks like the worst among all of big clubs in EPL.
Liverpool is still struggling at the middle place of EPL. It seems like that will be going so long until it can find its best performance like last season again.

[alpamar99]

Liverpool is a team that can win or lose against anyone at any time. There's nothing to say about that. They lost to the number last last week and the week before they beat Manchester City. I don't really know why it is not going well for Liverpool in the competition, because in the CL things are going well and they are qualified for the next round. Losing finalist last year. Mane has left but that cannot possibly be the problem of this form crisis in the competition? They will really have to win many games in a row to be able to compete in the title fight. And how will United do this season? It can still go either way with the United team.

Players performance this season was lower than the previous one. Mane was a key player for Liverpool indeed but his absence shouldn't make the team very instable. They didn't find a player who could fit in his place nor the right tactic to hide it imo.
For Champions League, of course they could pass, Ajax isn't doing good and Rangers were low. They passed 2nd and if they were in another group like Group C, instead of Plzen, they would be eliminated.

I agree, even if Mane does contribute but this will only affect the attack line but at the moment Liverpool are not only not very good in attack but also in defense.
This is clearly not just Mane's problem but Liverpool's overall internal problem that makes them have to work even harder if they really want to get back on track like last season.

[fuguebtc]

Leicester vs manchaster city may look like a dead end for Leicester but dont be suoorise that luck may be with Leicester and the team will end up winning the match even though that look imoosible according to their current standing.

No...No... who made this fixture at this time? The EPL is not fair either Rodgers and Liecester City. Just as I thought that Leicester City has returned to their good mood after winning two consecutive matches, they have conspired and has given them Haaland. This is a big injustice to them.
And someone who is saying that Liecester can win Manchester City, please go and waste some of your dollars and gamble it and I will patiently wait to laugh at you.

Looking at the opponents they face it seems like what you are saying at the moment is not entirely true because indeed they can win against a team that can be called a pain like them this season.
Leeds and Wolves this season clearly can't be compared to Manchester City considering their performances are very much different and of course although there is more enthusiasm for the Leicester players in this regard still against Manchester City it will obviously be very complicated and I still feel this game will be biased and City are clearly taking over this game.

The English Premier League has been unpredictable this season from the start. But that did not change the fact that Manchester City is playing really well. Obviously not probably as consistent as we expected them to be but still they are playing well enough in my opinion.

I think Manchester City versus Leicester City match is going to be quite interesting. Both teams are going to play to win this match. And both teams really need to win this match. Manchester City needs to win to stay in the competition for first place and Leicester City needs to get away from the relegation zone.

Arsenal lost against PSV and had a draw against Southampton. That is not a credible performance from the team which is at the top of the English Premier League right now. It is understandable that the Europa League can sometimes be unpredictable at times. However, how is it possible that they could drop points against Southampton? That is just absolutely unacceptable.

Lost against PSV seems not a problem because they are still leading the table. Arsenal is leading with 12 points, while PSV has 10 points. In the next match, Arsenal will play against the weakest team at home. So, Arsenal should finish the group phase by leading the table. However, get a draw against Southampton, it shouldn't happen. Now, Man City only needs 3 points to overtake them. Arsenal must be more careful, they don't miss 3 points in each match.

Their next match will be against Nottingham Forest, and I don't think they will have too many problems with them in that game.

Nottingham Forest may be a weak team. But they can surprise us. Just take a look at the previous matches, Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool. It indicates that Nottingham Forest has a chance to defeat Arsenal, too.

[Velvet78]

There is no problem with Arsenal's losing to PSV. It wasn't an important game for them as they already guaranteed qualifying for next round. Even their lead in the group is near guaranteed now.

We saw some rotation in the lineup unsurprisingly as well. Arteta wants his players to be ready against Nottingham. The Premier League is very crucial for them while they are in the lead especially.

That's just the match with Nottingham Forest and will show in what condition Arsenal is now. I also think that we should not attach too much importance to the loss of the PSV team in Eindhoven, but still any loss may not reflect on the team in the most favorable way. However, given the current situation, it is not necessary to exaggerate the importance of Arsenal's victory in the upcoming match over Nottingham, just the team should take its own in the match with an outsider. But if a loss happens, it is dangerous, because it is fraught with plunging the team into a psychological pit. Nevertheless, the current Arsenal has not had a long experience of leadership in the standings for quite a long time and such a failure can lead to undesirable consequences.

At the top of the standings, Arsenal are still leading by 2 points more than Manchester City, Manchester City is a very serious threat because when they manage to get a win they will shift Arsenal's position and make Manchester City number one. Just pray that Manchester City against Leicester ends in a draw so that it will keep Arsenal at number one because Manchester City will not get additional points.

It's very unlikely to draw, because Leicester City are not a strong team this season, moreover Manchester City's performance so far is still very extraordinary so the chances of a draw are very small and Manchester City will definitely try to win because considering they are very close to the top of the table at this time and just waiting for Arsenal to lose to take over the top position of the Premier League standings by Manchester City.

Few users said Leicester City's performance went up since they're unbeaten for their last three matches against Wolves, Leeds and Crystal Palace Same like you, I don't think Leicester City can do anything against Manchester City because they're only beat a weak clubs which currently on degradation zone. Maybe this match could be draw if Manchester City is really unlucky just like their match against Liverpool before.

[blue Snow]

Speaking about arsenal .. i doubt they could resist from manchester city pressure , it takes 1 slipped match from arsenal for manchester city to takeover the 1st place.

ManCity will able to stand on 1st when won on King Power Arena, the odds are very Gap between them, but of course only one day, in the next day Arsenal will able also to beat Nottingham on Emirates, and what me interesting is the odds look the same with ManCity.

So if you are brave, put the money between Leicester and Nottingham will make you happy, because sometime there is surprise on the end of October.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I have a strong doubt that Manchester United can win against Newcastle this Sunday, because when I watch them played in the Europa League yesterday I was not convinced by their performance, and they used their best team, a team that consists of Christiano Ronaldo Rashford and Anthony at the front three couldn't score a goal against a very minor team is it Newcastle they can win, who are far stronger than the Cyprus club, I don even know if Manchester United are better than them.

I really wasn't convinced by Man United performance in the midweek Europa League fixture against Omonia either, but I would like to say the Europa League and Premier League, and Man Utd have been doing better in the PL lately and both Man Utd and Newcastle are both on each other's ass, with Man United barely above them on the table just by a single point, I really think Man United will not going to lose the game, and the least would be a draw.


Man City vs Liverpool is the most the anticipated game of the week, and I don't think Man City would have wished to play Liverpool at better time than now that they're literally struggling.

Well considering what Man City can do, and what Arsenal too, for me it is also one of the best games that can be expected, we also have to put something in context, when Haaland does not play for me, City is another, it doesn't work the same, I see a much more stressed Pep, I see that the whole team locks themselves up a lot, they have a hard time going out and staying after half the pitch, I think this is what is determining City a lot, the bad thing is that not only the teams in their league see it, this is the least of it, the other teams in their UCL group too and they know how to take advantage of this, especially now that everything is getting so spicy.

The new week in the league is going to start with a Leicester - Manchester City match. This might be the end of Leicester's winning streak probably.

Leicester have seemed better in the recent times. It is like there is some improvement about their defending especially. But I don't think that they are still good enough to defend Manchester City now. Especially Haaland will be very difficult to stop for them. Leicester will just be hopeful about their attacking side. They need to do their best to keep the match balanced by being effective in scoring goals here. But honestly I think Manchester City will be the winner here.

Haaland is still doubted as a starter after getting a little injured in a champions league match. but for sure without him, The City will don't have a problem winning the match because have a coating attacker with not much difference. Mahrez and Foden will be on the front like in the last session, while Grealish a bit backward as the supplier. So I think The City hasn't a problem winning even if not many different goal 

Correct. Haaland's presence did bring a very strong contribution to bring Manchester City to victory. but Manchester remains a strong team even without the presence of Haaland. and in the match Manchester City will play Leicester city. And of course in this match Manchester city will be seeded and win the game. although Leicester city looks to have improved. but I don't think it's enough to beat Manchester city. but in the premier league there are always many surprises so don't be surprised if the results of the match will be contrary to the results of everyone's analysis and predictions.

Well there will always be speculation about Man City, for me it is one of the best teams, I like their entire line-up and how each player does their job, it is also necessary to highlight that Haaland does an exceptional job, and is almost the head of the team, Without a doubt, one of the best coaches for me is Pep Guardiola, his games are almost like he pornos them, just as Haaland himself says, and this is something that the players must take advantage of and improve the weaknesses they have, Haaland is practically Alone, a ball and it is very likely that Haaland will catch him and score a goal, Haaland has proven to be very difficult to stop.

The new week in the league is going to start with a Leicester - Manchester City match. This might be the end of Leicester's winning streak probably.

Leicester have seemed better in the recent times. It is like there is some improvement about their defending especially. But I don't think that they are still good enough to defend Manchester City now. Especially Haaland will be very difficult to stop for them. Leicester will just be hopeful about their attacking side. They need to do their best to keep the match balanced by being effective in scoring goals here. But honestly I think Manchester City will be the winner here.

Mahrez and Foden will be on the front like in the last session, while Grealish a bit backward as the supplier. So I think The City hasn't a problem winning even if not many different goal 

In conclusion, they will have some difficulty in scoring goals just as they displayed against Dortmund in the Champions League. Depending on the midfielder's to score or bringing in Alvarez. Leicester are trying to find the club and form all way back up,donif you analyse what will be the outcome and conclusion will be a both side sharing the points, it's also an earlier kickoff people who play pools knows how it ends

The case of Leicester is a team that I have seen that has improved a lot, I have seen an attitude that I quite like, they have had a lot of development as far as the league is concerned, the players are getting more involved, there is talk of their level continuing increasing to even fight and chorus with the biggest, but they have to remove their fear and be able to win against the big ones, I know that Pep Guardiola's team is one of the best, but Leicester have material to stand very well in the court and have enough personality to beat the best, just like that and if they believe it, the teams will grab that unique confidence to win.

Graham Potter concerns emerge just one month into his reign as Chelsea boss

Graham Potter has only been in the Chelsea hot seat for just over a month but has already made a habit of doing something that could upset the Blues' biggest names according to Danny Murphy.

The former Brighton boss has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life at Stamford Bridge and oversaw another victory in their most recent outing away at Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League. Goals from Matteo Kovacic and Kai Havertz were enough to secure Chelsea's status as group winners.

Well this is what makes this interesting, I know that all the speculations are in favor of Man City and it is something obvious, for now the one who attracts the most attention is Haaland and everything he is capable of doing, in fact the mnaer in which he runs and control the ball, I think that way of doing it is what can distort the defender or someone who can do something to him, of course if they have a Virgil it's something else, so Leicester have to come out with everything, they're at the level that is, maybe they don't have a star like Haaland but fortunately football is a team game and not individualism, and that's where you can make a difference.

Newcastle's rise puts established Premier League powers on edge

Manchester (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Newcastle's expected threat to the Premier League's traditional top six has arrived ahead of schedule with the Mapgies well in the running for a place in next season's Champions League.

A run of 13 points from a possible 15, including trips to Manchester United and Tottenham, has propelled Eddie Howe's men ahead of United, Chelsea and Liverpool into fourth.

Newcastle's recent run of form is not the only worry for the established powers.

Just one year into the club's Saudi ownership and having spent over £220 million ($254 million) on new players, Newcastle have been transformed from battling relegation to competing for Europe.

It seems like arsenal worrying if nottingham can steal full points just like what happened with liverpool.   I think that the match between arsenal against PSV will not give a huge impact to the performance of arsenal when it will be facing nottingham.
Arsenal may not get the same result as liverpool. I think that arsenal must go full power against PSV,

Of course the odds are very one-sided and there is justification for that given the different performance levels of both teams, but it is still a home game for Leicester City and the game is yet to be played. Remember how people here argued about the Nottingham game against Liverpool? Everyone said that it is obvious how that game is going to end. Leicester City is still a team that is capable of winning a game against a stronger opponent on an outstanding day. I don't think Manchester City will destroy them and it might end rather close. The lack of confidence is bad for Leicester, but when you have a game in front of you where there is nothing to lose, it could be the right moment to meet a team like Manchester City. There is less pressure than if you play against a team that is right in front of you.
