Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[MAAManda]

With competition getting tougher and Liverpool's unstable performance, I doubt they will finish in the top 4
Imagine that from 16 matches Liverpool only won 6 matches what can we expect from this result really bad
Unless Liverpool make changes in the upcoming transfer window there may be hope.

To be in fourth place at the end of the season still makes a lot of sense IMO, that's because the difference in points between Liverpool and Tottenham (who are currently in fourth place) is not far away, only 7 points apart which will be very easy to get from 3 matches. In the first 4 matches, they will also face less strong teams such as Aston Villa, Leicester City, Brentford and Brighton (a total of 12 points will be easily obtained).

I'm actually worried about Manchester United more than Liverpool in the rest of the season. The reason for it is that I find Manchester United's attacking performance quite weak especially on the recent weeks of the league. They can't score goals comfortably. Their attackers are wasting so many goal opportunities which has cost them two or three points from time to time. Manchester United should find a solution to this problem. Maybe signing a striker would be helpful. They have parted ways with Ronaldo already.

Rashford and Martial seemed worrying in the recent times. If they don't show some positive performances after this break then they will really need the help of another striker. Garnacho is also there to help of course but we never know how consistent he can be. I can't fully trust him just because he saved them in a match. He is still a very young striker.

Manchester United must be looking for a sharp sticker, it is an urgent need that must be sought immediately. in my opinion, Cody Gakpo is the right choice to fill the attacker's position as a target man. Currently the position of the striker is not reliable enough, only Rashford has made a small contribution.

I'm sure Ten Hag will be able to find someone who remains to fill the void left by Ronaldo. Apart from that, Manchester United also have to look for several other players in the midfield and defender sector, because it must be admitted that this position is still not fully integrated.

Yes indeed anything can still happen but here I still doubt if they do not make any changes for example a new player
I still remember when Leeds beat Liverpool at home no one thought that Leeds who are in the top 15 could win.

It is very likely that after half of this season it will be quite exciting because in any case it is clear that the target for Liverpool is that if they cannot compete for the title then the top 4 is the solution.
At the moment his condition is still floating, but when you see the threat from the top officials when Liverpool cannot finish in that position, the impact is indeed quite large, including the dismissal of Klopp from Anfield.
I believe a lot will happen in the future regardless of now there are so many games left so there is still a lot of time to improve the club.

Regardless of Liverpool inconsistent performance this season, there has been some great speculation on social media, especially regarding the performance of the players bought in last summer's window who have not been able to realize the expectations of Liverpool fans for the results they get in every game. kloop must be able to get Liverpool to rise in the second half of this season because if he fails then the consequences will be big for his future. nunez has not had a good enough impact on Liverpool front line because he has difficulty adapting to Liverpool playing scheme.

Manchester United may have done better than Liverpool before the league break but Ronaldo departure will also affect their performance in the second half of the season. erik ten hag will move quickly to find a replacement for ronaldo position and hope they can get Leao or osimhen.

The bad thing in allowing a team give you gap in points is that as you are expecting them to drop points,you are not certain of the fact that you can get your own three points too.It is just good to try to perform well so that the gap won't be much.Liverpool are not in a good form,and unless they do something about it in the transfer window as you said,they will certainly have problem.
I believe by now, Jorgen Klopp should have known that Mane was the main reason why Liverpool were aggressive in attack,and his absence is the reason they are struggling at the moment.It is still too early to finalise that they will not be in the top four,but let's see how things goes,whether people's thought will be right or wrong.

Liverpool and Tottenham are fighting for their best position and unfortunately this will be a very difficult match for Liverpool because in the future they meet a lot of great players so that it makes it difficult for them to get points and chase their best position, Tottenham will probably fight hard to get goals and after that immediately prepare a defensive formation so that the opponent has difficulty scoring goals. Hopefully there will be a miracle for these two teams.

All football fans are very confident about Manchester City. Because they have a very strong XI, who deserve to win this league title. Liverpool on the other hand still have time to turn around, hopefully after the World Cup they will come back super strong.

How dare anyone lose confidence in Manchester City, of course people are right to feel very confident about City and expect them to turn things around and make it back to the summit of the league, but this season there is a new and resilient competitor in Arteta's Arsenal, they are the team to watch out for right now as they sit comfortably on the top of the table.

Having said that, after the WC Pep has quite a lot of work on his hands, it's not going to be easy for them to close up all the gap and go above Arsenal, but it is something that they have done in the past to other teams and they can do it this time around too, imo Liverpool aren't in the title race and they are not getting back into it. It looks like a two horse race to me atm, between City and Arsenal.

I don't think Ronaldo's departure will affect Manchester United's performance. In fact, Ronaldo has not contributed much to Manchester United this season. Coach Ten Hag knew very well that Ronaldo was not interested in staying at Manchester United. So he did not allow Ronaldo to mix with the team this season. He didn't give Ronaldo much of a chance to play. The Ten Hag have only used Ronaldo well this season in Europa League matches. And so Ronaldo leaving the team will not change the performance of Manchester United in the Premier League. However, Ten Hag is in dire need of an experienced striker this season.

It's true that the team will surely not affected by Ronaldo departure but im really sad about the way that he left the team with, he is one of the best players in the history of the team and seeing him leaving this way is really bad Even if you are not a fan for Manchester united, i really wished he retire in the old Trafford but unfortunately that's not what will happen

To everyone that think Arsenal will win this season Premier League, you all need to think twice since Gabriel Jesus currently injured due to world cup and it's need at least 2 months to recover, it could be 3 months too. So Jesus will miss many matches, although recently he didn't score many goals, but he's a big part to assist his club beside Odegaard.

Arsenal was never in the title race, they're known to blow chances up when ever they're in the lead of the table. This isn't the first time they'll be losing a lead after then been in lead during the holidays. With or without Gabriel Jesus they would had still lost the title to Manchester city. While Arsenal still have some of their vital players still playing at the world cup like Saka, Manchester city best players are already going home and some didn't even make it to the world cup like Haaland, Riyad Mahrez etc

Kevin De Bruyne which is arguable the best player at Manchester city is on his way home, going to rest after Belgium didn't qualify from the group stages at the world cup. It was a disgrace but also meant he'll be well rested before the season continue and will be back assisting Haaland score outrageous goals and break news record as usual to help Manchester city lift the trophy.

Manchester united might be weak up front but have managed to survive and win games this season thanks to Ten Hag's strategies and tactics that has helped improved the performance of most of the players in the team and helps them win games even against big teams in the league. Liverpool on the other hand have been really poor and so far have managed to pick up some vital points in the league to close the gaps. Rashford, Martial and even Garnacho have shown promising signs of positivity under Ten Hag so far which indicates their are better days ahead for Manchester United.

I also think Bruno Fernandez is happy and enjoying his time at Manchester United and won't be open to moving from United just yet, maybe in the future a deal like that might happen but for now it seems very unlikely atleast not in this January window so Real Madrid will have to sort for other options in that position. Bruno Fernandez is having a good time in the world cup and catching eyes of top teams already.

Recently have interested rumor from Real Madrid to signing Bruno Fernandez after impressive performance on World Cup I don't think have positive respond from Fernandez, he was happy in several year with Manchester United although have change manager still include in starting eleven on every Manchester United matches. Unfortunately, Real Madrid is most top team in European and rejected for joining there become little mistake with large opportunity get trophy with Real Madrid than keep extended in Manchester United.

Looking on level competition, Real Madrid still play at Champion League and Manchester United right now participants on Europe League, I don't think become excited for Fernandez accepted Real Madrid as the new team for his career.

Real Madrid do have the tradition of buying the most talented players from every World Cup. However, I don't think Bruno Fernandes will be a worthwhile addition to the squad.
Because, firstly, they have a really balanced midfield and even if they want to buy a midfielder, they should buy a younger one like Jude Bellingham.

Secondly, they really need a lethal striker right now. Karim Benzema is aging and he now needs a backup.

Another thing I think is that the position Bruno Fernandes plays in doesn't exist in the Real Madrid squad, which is number 10.
At the last World Cup, they bought James Rodriguez and he didn't do as well. This is because Real Madrid didn't play the number 10 position as much as they used to before.

Forward lines is one of the biggest weaknesses from this team before because from all of strikers which Manchester United have only Rashford who can playing consistent and Martial last scoring was on October at Europa league but after that he never been scoring goals again and Antony in my opinion he was performing well but his real position is not centre striker so it's normal if you worried about this team but that's why Manchester United confirmed will looking for new striker on January and several names was appears and mostly world class strikers so lets see who is the next players will arrived at Manchester United later

Newcastle this season are as good as ever, I see no prerequisites to miss the top 4. Liverpool still have a lot of games to play like all the teams in the Premier League, but I'm not sure if Tottenham or Newcastle will want to give their place, besides, I think ten Hag also has plans for the top 4 and he has a good team. Liverpool's chances of being in the top 4 are not that great, although there is a tendency for Klopp's teams to get the peak of their shape towards the end of the season, but whether this will help them I'm not sure.

One advantage Newcastle have over other teams is that the owners are richer and willing to spend more. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and other co-owners of Newcastle are willing to release more fund for the January transfer window. That means coach Eddie Howe might be able to reinforce his squad next year.

Tottenham's performance reduced in recent time and they lost some important games that made them lose some vital points. Liverpool and Manchester United seems to have solved the problems that limited them at the beginning of the season, so they might come back strong after the world cup break. The only teams that has been consistent this season are Arsenal and Manchester City and I am sure either of these teams would clinch the premier league title if they continue with their recent performance. Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle would have to scramble for the other top four position.    

Eddie Howe is a lucky man to have to work with such rich Arab investors who are ready to to splash the cash to see that the club and team gets the level of improvement required. Obviously this has had quite a positive effect on their transfers and game plans so far this season and have pushed them up the season rankings to a 3rd place in the league, what a massive achievement so far.

Manchester united coach will definitely get it right after the FIFA world cup to bring in new talented striker that will assist the team to improve in the area of attacking which is the major challenge Manchester united are facing right now. I believe, after the break Manchester united and Liverpool game will definitely change positively, because their fans are not happy the way their points is not increasing like the way Manchester city and Arsenal points is increasing every match. I think, Manchester united strikers will improve more after the FIFA world because some of their players in their national team are doing well in this FIFA world to show that there will be hope of improvement after the break.

With competition getting tougher and Liverpool's unstable performance, I doubt they will finish in the top 4
Imagine that from 16 matches Liverpool only won 6 matches what can we expect from this result really bad
Unless Liverpool make changes in the upcoming transfer window there may be hope.

To be in fourth place at the end of the season still makes a lot of sense IMO, that's because the difference in points between Liverpool and Tottenham (who are currently in fourth place) is not far away, only 7 points apart which will be very easy to get from 3 matches. In the first 4 matches, they will also face less strong teams such as Aston Villa, Leicester City, Brentford and Brighton (a total of 12 points will be easily obtained).

Things are looking pretty easy on papers in reality we have tough challenges for all teams against opponents as in last few weeks there were tough matches and bad loses against teams like Nottingham and Leeds United, so any prediction is going to be wrong even until end of the season now competition is tough for having top four ranks in Premier League with Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle United are dominating into league table, and we can't expect any challenge from teams for them quality is at his best and performance is also amazing which is clearly indicating now staying into top four is never been easy for any team.

Liverpool having few issues hopefully management will end these in winter transfer window for having positive results and end of the season with rank of top four because less to this any result is going to be terrible for them and their fans.

Thanks for hitting the hammer on the nail, and Manchester United can not and should never rely on Marcus Rashford for a full season to score 40+ goals in a season. Antonio Martial has been Injured for sometime which have retarded the way he plays and his playing time, Manchester United should also look for a possible solution to him.

Really, they've got plans for the transfer window but who's that player, I'm still very keen to know, no longer sure if Cody Gakpo would make it to Manchester United after recent talks of his countries team mate..

He isn't only one of the best players in the history of the team, but he is also arguably one of the greatest footballers of all time, but it is what it is, and it is sad the way he left Old Trafford, but if he had stayed any longer then the relationship between him and the club would have snowballed into something really pathetic, and i am pretty certain that nobody wanted that, so it is good they parted ways as soon as they could.

Ronaldo and his agent are only concerned about one thing at this time, and it is to get Ronaldo a new team, i don't think he wants to go to Saudi Arabia, but he may have to if it is his last/only option. Ronaldo i'm sure wants to stay in Europe, at an elite level, but with all that's been going on with him lately, not too many clubs would be interested in signing him.
