Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Google+]

It's hard to believe Liverpool have to swallow back-to-back defeats to a team they can beat on paper. I'm starting to smell something amiss inside the Reds. And it looks like Klopp is starting to lose the trust of his players. I used to think that Liverpool's decline in performance was due to many injured players, but now with a squad that can be said to be capable, they can actually be defeated by a small team who are struggling in the relegation zone.

If the situation does not improve, then Liverpool will be sinking. Before the World Cup break, the Reds will still face tough teams, Tottenham and Southampton.

maybe one thing that must be underlined is the lack of contribution made by nunez for liverpool this season which has resulted in Liverpool front line slightly decreasing goal productivity. This is the basic reference for the departure of Sadio Mane who cannot be replaced by Nunez completely because from what he has shown so far it has not had the impact as expected. from the back side of course the Liverpool squad there is nothing to argue about because the defense is still very strong under the command of Virgil Van Dijk he is able to control the bottom side quite well. Mohamed Salah really had to work hard on finishing in the last few games without a connection from Nunez feet.

A dominant Arsenal performance takes them to the top of the league once again. It was expected, Nottingham is a really bad team, but Arsenal do look more and more like genuine title contenders.

Nottingham Forest isn't very much a bad team if you ask me, at least Liverpool couldn't survive them and for a team that is just joking the premier league from championship, they are doing just okay. Arsenal on the other hand is clearly not there match and this season, they've been fantastic most of all. They've always come to give the fans and premier league what is expected of them and 5:0 Arsenal win today was something we certainly didn't see coming.

The talk of the round will once again be about Liverpool - and we do deserve it this season. The World Cup can't come soon enough for us, we desperately need the reset button.

You guys aren't alone on this. At least you've got Chelsea to share it with. All the noose of Potter being such a good coach has calm and Chelsea didn't just lose but were instrumental to w vital goals that gave Brighton Albion the lead.

Manchester United is playing better football than Westham, if they continue with this present effort, they will be able to get 1 or 2 goals in this match. The Westham players are not not very sharp and strong on Manchester United but they have got a very nice shoot on target, though it was offside.
Maguire is not happing Manchester United in defence, his presence is making the strikers of Manchester United not to press very high on Westham. The confidence of the team is not in Maguire.

Marcus Rashford has just given Manchester United the lead from a powerful header. He has been improving recently, I am sure Gareth Southgate would consider giving him a place in the World Cup. Although United is dominating the match, but West Ham is not doing badly. But their attack seems inactive because they have not had any shot on target.

Yes that's the problem, people thinks the bottom team is too weak to be able to defend against the top team, but in football it's all about luck the situation can also have an effect. Also even weaker teams in other leagues can make surprises.

People have to believe it, luck sometimes plays a dominant role in the result of a match. Sometimes a club would be the better side and have many shot on targets but they might not secure a goal. But just one opportunity a weak team would have, they might score an unexpected goal and win the match. It is good to prepare for all games but sometimes preparations or player quality doesn't lead to wins.

Manchester United vs Westham United

The match is kicked off and Manchester United has two unregular players in their squad which is Ronaldo and Maguire.  I know that Ronaldo is not a problem, the challenge lies on Maguire. He may also be good today because he has two experienced midfielders ahead of him in the persons of Eriksen and Casemiro.

The match just start and over 18 minutes.  Manchester United went close to the Westham United goal several times with the ball but could not score. However, Manchester United is showing a fairly good performance at the beginning of the game.  Looks like they will at least beat Westham United goal of 2-0 today . I am very excited to watch the game and I support Manchester United

Maguire is not happing Manchester United in defence, his presence is making the strikers of Manchester United not to press very high on Westham. The confidence of the team is not in Maguire.

Marcus Rashford has already given Westham United a goal in the 38th minute for Manchester United. There is still half time to play.  In the remaining half if Manchester United goalkeeper is able to stop the balls coming towards them and if Manchester United's other players are able to pass the ball well and give Westham United another goal then they will surely win today. They have already won 3 rounds and drawn 2 rounds in the last 5 rounds played . Manchester United is really a strong team

I just found out if Liverpool and Chelsea turned out to be losers. They even lost to a non-seeded team. In fact, I was surprised Chelsea lost by quite a lot of differences. Granted, I didn't see the game in person, but I wanted Chelsea to win at the beginning.
This defeat certainly made Chelsea displaced in position. They only have a one-point gap from Man United. Today Man United will play West Ham. Of course, statistically, Man United players will excel and even win. So maybe Chelsea will be displaced by Man United.

I also surprised with the result of Chelsea match because I was expecting a draw/win for them but as I watch the result this was surely shocking as they have two own goals and two goals from Trossard and Gross give them this thumbing lost which is surely an alarming situation for them as well as after end of first half they were trailing by 3 - 0 and in second half they were completely dominating but still unable to have any positive result specially Raheem Starling form is questionable.

Liverpool is also doing the worst performance and ow they lost at home after very long time which is surely the lowest point for them in this season which is already ruin and most chances they could be not able to stay in top four.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United's starting eleven in the match against West Ham, after previously not playing in the two domestic league matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

Hopefully today's match Ronaldo can score goals so that his confidence and sharpness can quickly recover before defending the Portuguese national team in the 2022 World Cup Qatar.

This MU vs West Ham match is very interesting because CR7 and Maguire are the starters and Anthony is absent

CR7 should still be able to play more at Manchester United to be able to play for Portugal in group H, apart from CR7, Maguire seems to need high playing hours too, hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid in this match so that the trust of the Hag and the MU fans in him can return again

[Raflesia]

They really became clowns at the start of this season.
It is not impossible when indeed results like this do not change then Klopp is another great coach after Tuchel who was sacked. Liverpool's condition is clearly quite alarming now.
Losing to Leeds, who have never won in the last few matches, is clearly a tremendous blow for them.

I think they are giving him a chance because he has done some wonderful things with this team and for this club. In my opinion, there is no other reason for them not to fire him at this point.

In addition, I am also unable to understand what happened. Due to the fact that he was doing well with basically the same team last season. Mane can't be that impactful right?

As far as I am concerned, his job is now under serious threat, even though nobody has said anything about it. As long as Liverpool does not improve quickly, he will have to be fired as soon as possible.

Yesterday's defeat made most of their supporters push for Klopp's sacking and in fact this is still a bit reasonable considering that in this case fans always want to see the appearance of the club they like playing well but on the other hand their performance this season with last season is very much different.
It's not only Mane's problem I think because if it's only about Mane of course they won't be weak until the defense but there are several other factors that make them currently unable to do well until week 12.

Not to blame, but Maguire often loses position when West Ham United counter-attack. We can see when Behrama penetrates through the right sector of Manchester United's defense. Then, several times Casemiro had to close the position left by Maguire. Including De Gea had to leave his position to block the ball that a goalkeeper should not do.

He may also be good today because he has two experienced midfielders ahead of him in the persons of Eriksen and Casemiro.

The two midfielders you mentioned became our driving force in this match. Eriksen's experience and intelligence in reading the game made Manchester United temporarily lead 1-0 through Marcus Rashford's goal.

Despite having won 1-0 for a while, but Man United doesn't play like what it used to be. Maybe it's because there is no Antony on the right side, so Man United's attack from the right becomes less promising. I don't think Elanga is as good as Antony and maybe it's time for Sancho to play in the place of Elanga (or Sancho plays on the left and Rashford fills the right position).

They've always come to give the fans and premier league what is expected of them and 5:0 Arsenal win today was something we certainly didn't see coming.

Nottingham Forest not really bad if ask to Liverpool fans, can't comparison with Arsenal won 5-0 today because have different performance in this season between Liverpool and Arsenal. Started this season quite well perform and have good statistic until 10 won of 12 games seems become strong candidate for Arsenal become the winner of Primer League.
The winning games from Nottingham Forest with bigger score make Arsenal back to the top standing after Manchester City take 1st position almost one day.

He may also be good today because he has two experienced midfielders ahead of him in the persons of Eriksen and Casemiro.

70 minutes into the game and Manchester United are still 1 goal ahead through Rashford in the 38th minute. Eriksen and Bruno played pretty good one-twos before sending a good pass at the back post and Rashford met.
Right now there hasn't been a real change and with enough chances Manchester United actually they don't have much on target in this regard.
But it was interesting to see this match because there were a few different things like playing Ronaldo back up front and Rashford being pulled back a bit and placed on the flanks.

Arsenal 5 - 0 Nottingham Forest

 

Arsenal simply crushed Nottingham Forest, it was 5 goals and Nottingham Forest failed to score at least 1 goal and the strangest thing is that Nottingham Forest beat liverpool in the last game before playing against Arsenal, it was expected that at least Nottingham Forest was going to be a team that gave Arsenal some headaches, but what we saw was Arsenal destroying Nottingham Forest, in this celebration of so many goals I found it strange that gabriel jesus did not score at least 1 goal

Manchester United 1 - 0 West Ham

 

if it continues like this, manchester united can win the game, today cristiano ronaldo is playing at the beginning of the game, that means that the controversy (the case in which he left the bench early) gave some good results in favor of cristiano ronaldo

In today match against Nottingham Forest Arsenal is showing their class and attitude for this season because in last few matches they were not good, so rumors were working around for their future, but performance like this is surely a shut up call for all those were feeling now they could be down and out from their bubble but look like they have completely different mind set and looking for title after many years right now just Manchester City is team which can stop them otherwise no other team is capable of having any positive result against them with performance like this 5 - 0 is surely a strong message from them.

About this real question, I am feeling they can take all three points as now they are also in good shape and their coach's strategy is also working for them for having better results.

It seems from some news that I read the relationship between Ten Hag and Ronaldo is slowly getting better, which is good for Manchester United. Today it is not only Ronaldo who is trusted to be a starter again, but Harry Maguire is again the main choice to guard the defense area. Manchester United can maintain their lead and give them 3 points. The positive results are very valuable for them.

[Zackgeno96]

A meager victory for Manchester United against West Ham United. The joy will not be less. I don't know what the management's expectations are at the moment towards United and ten Hag. Should he just take as many points as possible or do they also expect eye-watering football and combination play? Combining both may not seem like the key to success right now. Ten Hag has performed quite well lately after his 2 opening defeats. After that only lost to City, but anyone can lose to that. Liverpool continues to lag behind in this way and can never catch up for the possible title again. Arsenal won very easily today with a whopping 5-0.

[Distraction]

Arsenal didn't surprise anyone and met the expectations by far. This huge 5-0 win was very satisfying for them after a point loss against Southampton. However Gabriel Jesus has been silent so far. This is his fourth match in a row in the league that he doesn't score any goal. He still made a solid contribution with 2 assists in this match maybe. But Arsenal need him to start scoring also. Not all the matches will be this comfortable in the end. They will need him those times.

Arsenal are still unbeaten against weaker teams and it looks like this will go on like this for a long time. However their problem seemed to be in away matches against strong teams. They lost to Manchester United for example and their performance wasn't satisfying at all. Arteta will need to focus on winning those matches also as it is their weakness.

After his private talks with Ten Hag about some of the problems they are facing it is clear this is a good thing and of course this could dash hopes for the fans who expected him to leave Old Trafford.
This narrow victory is enough to bring them into the top 5 now although their performance in the last 5 matches still looks inconsistent but of course it is a beautiful victory now.

[bitzizzix]

David de Gea was the hero of Manchester United's victory, throughout the match and also in the final minutes of added time he was able to fend off West Ham's attacks.
and Manchester United's only goal from Rashford's header in the 38th minute saw him win and also take full points and currently fifth in the table, actually I was expecting a goal from Ronaldo. For some reason lately he has been struggling to score goals but he didn't succeed and he always missed several chances and also his shots were easily caught by the opposing goalkeeper in every match.

[SirLancelot]

The premier League is very difficult League,for example what happened yesterday, when Chelsea played against Brighton you won't expect Brighton to demolish Chelsea with such scoreline,if Brighton took their chances very well it would have been 6-1 instead of 4-1 and I almost forgot that Chelsea is a champions League team, then Liverpool did their own by losing to Leeds United at home, Leeds outplayed Liverpool and still won the game.

Agreed about this surely Premier League is one of the most difficult and unpredictable league, and we can't do any prediction about any match like we have yesterday when top ranked teams losing badly against teams like Leeds United and Brighton and few weeks back we have Nottingham Forest which beats Liverpool at home in yesterday match result like 4 - 1 for team like Chelsea is surely shocking for many for Liverpool surely they are struggling badly from start of this season and their player's adjustment is not working which is surely the biggest concern for them even their record in Champions League is amazing but in Premier League they are going to be down and out from any good top spot hopefully we will have changes in coming weeks specially after world cup.

Resting some players when facing PSV in the Europa League was really a very good strategy by Arteta, they managed to make a breakthrough and controlled the game in this match.
They got quite a striking score in this match and interestingly 4 of the 5 goals they scored came from very young players because their Odegaard, Martinelli and Reiss Nelson are under 23 years old and of course this is a good prospect for Arsenal.
