Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[imamusma]

Pretty sure Liverpool will win this game going to start for the second half I think a coach Klopp has prepared everything from the players to the strategy it can't be a bad start anymore but statistically it's definitely different Liverpool have above Aston Villa it's just that still in my own assumptions.
Aston Villa always has surprises but Klopp will not repeat the same start as at the start of this season could be Liverpool's resurgence to continue chasing points to get into the top 4 and as much as possible beyond that, of course I will not miss the bet here but with odds of 1.7 are currently pretty sure you can win.

On paper Liverpool are the favourites, but who would dare to underestimate Aston Villa?
Aston Villa has not been very stable so far. They have only won 5/15 matches and are in 12th place. Liverpool still have to be wary of the possibility of Villa considering they are playing at home.

However, Liverpool's probability of winning is likely to exceed 50%, so it is only natural that they are the favorites to win that match against Aston Villa. Liverpool will be aiming for 3 important points in that match to get back into the top 4 of the standings. Currently Liverpool are 4 points behind Manchester United which seems to be getting better.

Tottenham started the season very well. Many expected this team to compete for the title. But they failed. They are not able to maintain consistency. Their performance has been erratic in recent times. They have lost three of their last five matches, and are fourth in the table. Tottenham will not be able to compete for the title this season.

Arsenal and Manchester City's performances have been very consistent. The battle for the title this season will mainly be between these two teams. The points gap between Arsenal and City is 5. If Arsenal can maintain their consistent performance then it is not possible for City to close this 5 point gap.

I was a major fan of Tottenham Hotspur to win the Premier League initially, I did also find myself voting on the poll created on who wins the Premier League but they suddenly had drop in performance that was as a result of low quality players in the squad fir the manager to use as he's already made mention to the chairman daniel levey to get quality signatures in for the club.

Five points is no big deal between them both ( Manchester City and Arsenal ) Manchester City jas a chance to over take gunner's if they don't get very serious and consistent about how they go further.
But I'm really backing gunner's for the premier league title.

I don't know which striker is the right fit for Manchester United.  Anthony is performing very well in the wing position.  Maybe Kane or Son.  However, the probability of Tottenham selling these two players is very low.  Especially against their rivals Manchester United.  The search for a tough forward for Manchester United has begun, let's see if they can find a good player.  I'm sure they won't get Mbappe, but I can't think of a player of Mbappe quality either.

It is very difficult for Manchester United to sign Kane as long as there are stronger candidates in the race to sign him. Even Real Madrid were interested in him in the past and I don't know if they still have such interest deep down. Manchester City won't be in this race anymore for sure which is good news for the Red Devils.

However Bayern Munich might be very likely to enter such race because of not signing a top striker yet after selling Lewandowski. Unless Kane wants to stay in England there is no way Manchester United are convincing him against Bayern Munich.

I have almost the same thoughts regarding tottenham. However, Tottenham are still in the top 4 for the time being. and that is enough to prove tottenham is not too disappointing. maybe in the last 5 matches Tottenham have not been too consistent. But luckily in the next match Tottenham will be against Brentford. and I think Tottenham will be able to win the game. so that it can still maintain its position in the top 4 rankings in the standings. But when talking about winning the Premier League. then I didn't expect much for tottenham from the start. because since the beginning of the season I have hoped more for Manchester city and Liverpool. But Liverpool let me down. and without my guess Arsenal could even continue to be on top of the standings. Arsenal appear consistent in every match.

I can't wait for the Premier League to resume. The World Cup was a much needed break for some players and also the managers to go back to the drawing board. We'll see if the momentum built by Arsenal will continue or will the other contenders start catching up. The Gunners would probably get six more points before the year ends but their January schedule is going to be tough.

I think the premier league is going to be in full action on Boxing Day thats 26 December. Arsenal have really surprised everyone by holding up their position on the league table but i think if arteta doesn't make any significant signing to the team during this January transfer window before its closes, it going to really have a great effect on the team performance next year because most team are now ready to take on arsenal on the second leg of the premier league and one or two signing to the team will just give the team an extra edge in maintaining their stand in the league table. I would propose for arteta to make a signing towards an additional striker added to Gabriel jesus just to strengthen the attack for them because in other for arsenal to secure the title they need to be in all the goal scoring form they can get, why?  Because goals win matches and winning matches gives your 3point which is needed to win the league.

Arteta needs to strengthen the club ahead of what awaits the Gunners has the season resumes on Boxing Day. Maintaining their current standing position will require adding more strikers to assist Gabriel Jesus, in which Jesus is currently undergoing treatment after sustaining an injury at the world cup. Arterta is working on occasionally featuring Gabriel Martinelli  in center-forward roles, but this might not solve the absence of Jesus if nothing is done to find a future replacement it might cost them relinguishing their current position, even Eddie Nketiah been deployed to play the center-forward will not be as productive compared to when Jesus is playing the center-forward.

[RILWAN]

As far as I know Manchester city have not had any disappointing previous year and in the last season, Manchester City still came top of the league table and even played in the finals of championship finals. So at this point even though their below Arsenal currently on the table but with time the club will recover.

Yes, Arteta must recruit new players to strengthen his squad. At present Arteta is being hit by great worries due to the injury to Gabriel Jesus. But the winter transfer window is notoriously difficult to sign big players. But even so Arteta will have to try and give credence to other strikers like Nketiah while looking for another suitable replacement. This kind of situation is very risky but there is no other choice.

Arsenal still lead at the top of the standings with five points from Manchester City. I think the Gunners' position is still very vulnerable especially with the condition of the team that is not a full team.

[rendravolt]

The improvement experienced by Newcastle is not yet 100%, the Newcastle board of directors will try to make Newcastle become the new EPL Champion. It is not impossible that Newcastle will become a new competitor for Manchester City or Arsenal who are in their best form, we will soon see Newcastle dominate the EPL with top players brought in due to the abundant money that the club has.

so you think with lots of money and bringing in great players will make him an EPL champion, I think to unite great players in one team is not as easy as one might imagine, of course you need to adjust the way each player plays, it takes time to create a quality team with great players not in a short time, even though newcastle is in 3rd place in the league standings but I'm not sure he can shift manchester city 

For now it is true that Newcastle United will not be able to shift the position of Manchester City because it takes quite a long time to adjust the players and coaches, this has also happened to Manchester United with the market value of all its players being at 732 million euros. They have been for almost a decade have not been able to give the EPL title again at Old Trafford, the last time they won the EPL was in the 2012/2013 season after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United was like losing a ship captain. Now Manchester City is the most dominating team in the EPL and in my opinion Arsenal is the only tough rival to win the EPL this season.

Today Manchester United will play against Burnley in the carabao cup event, these two teams are in very different situations and team conditions. This is not about caste but the two previous Mancehster United friendly matches were a defeat even though the opponents were Cadiz and Betis. In contrast to the bad results that Manchester United got in the two friendly matches yesterday, because Burnley at this moment is doing very well in the Championship as the team at the top of the standings.
With this difference, I think that even though Manchester United will play at Old Trafford in today's match, it seems that winning this match will still not be as easy as one might imagine.

Although indeed, the chance for Manchester United to win is still there, but I'm sure Burnley will be able to provide strong resistance so that it looks like Manchester United won't get clean sheets either.
Anyway, this will still be an interesting match because it is possible that Erik ten Hag only made a strategy experiment in the two friendly matches yesterday, and for today's match it seems that Erik ten Hag will apply the strategy as it should to make an absolute win for Manchester United.

It's hard to say Manchester United because when they lost Sir Alex as a driver they also lost most of their players which was indeed a golden era at that time because slowly one by one they left and retired.
It's been too long now for Manchester United but they still haven't been able to bring back those days but it's quite normal because in this case it's very difficult also considering the competition and some of the problems they have.

The opening match of the 17th week of the season is going to be Brentford v Tottenham.

First of all, Brentford don't have a good luck against Tottenham. They couldn't beat Tottenham in their club history. They were at least able to steal one point here in the previous season. However I don't expect even that to happen this time. Tottenham immediately need a decent form in the league. Because they have lost so many points recently and this caused them to get away from the title contenders quite much. Newcastle have also left them behind thanks to the amazing win streak they have.

Brentford ended their winless streak with a Manchester City victory. However there has been a long time since then. I think Tottenham will make a strong return by defeating Brentford.

[Captain Corporate]

I highly doubt that it is about losing players, SAF retired long ago, it has been so many years, those players are all either retired or old right now anyway. The point they needed to make is the fact that they haven't been able to find good players for the amount of money they spent. Some players they have are good, such as sancho and bruno fernandes,  but mainly speaking their players are not that great and for most of them they paid a ton of money, same money that could have been used for getting better players. So its not just about their managers, its about not getting good players and spending way too much for bad players.

[naira]

The list of players on Manchester United radar is clear that Erik Ten Hag wants a balanced tier 2 squad. I'm quite skeptical that what Erik Ten Hag did to target team performance more aggressively. But besides that, it will be very difficult if the initial core players like Rashford, Bruno and Antony are not monitored for their growth. Manchester United doesn't need to add more players, Erik Ten Hag should take one attacker in the transfer market and put him up front with Bruno Fernandes.

On the one hand, competition is good, it can encourage players to play better, but on the other hand, what worked for ten Hag at Ajax may not work at Manchester United. In Holland he worked with young guys who are ready to do anything to get a place in the first team, in Manchester United he has to work with established players and his tactics instead of an incentive can cause offense, as was the case with Ronaldo (maybe this is not the best example) . Having too many forwards is also bad, he won't be able to give everyone as much playing time as they want, and what will happen in the end is what happened in City, when the Guardiola had to let go of many strong forwards.

Another problem for Ten Hag at the moment I feel he is putting too much priority on Dutch players or those who have been in the Eredivisie.
Even though this is actually quite good, I personally feel that he should have a broader view because if you look at the time when he took office, there were several names that came in from the Eredivisie, on the other hand, at this time he is also still very much looking for Eredivisie players and other Dutch players who will become rumors now like Gakpo or Dumfries.

So its not just about their managers, its about not getting good players and spending way too much for bad players.

The amount they spend to bring in players can actually be said to be quite large, but sometimes this does not match expectations.
because basically Manchester United has spent a lot of money on players who don't really contribute much, let's say like Maguire whose performance is still below the average for 80 million players or maybe other players like Sancho and Fred whose performance is still not very appropriate at its price.

Ten minutes to kickoff and there's full hope that the red devils will win their opponents in the carabao cup. My bet is already placed on manchester united as I'm having no single doubts that they will win their game. United not having a good records during their friendly games doesn't spark any results on the current game because most of their key players were unavailable in the friendly games. Erik ten hag will do a great job in the game as the fans are expecting a big win in the game with ease.

[Furious 7]

The opening match of the 17th week of the season is going to be Brentford v Tottenham.

The shock made at the start of the season by Brentford surprised me a bit, but when facing Tottenham now it will obviously be very difficult even though they will play as a home team but it is clear that Tottenham are above them.
In this case now there are no players who are in trouble also for Tottenham so I think they will come out with their best squad after before the break Kulusevski was Tottenham's biggest loss.

[DanWalker]

Now that the World Cup is over and most players have gained more experience to play effectively when the Premier League resumes, lots of signing will start going on Wolverhampton about confirming Cunha signing the Premier League as it is coming fresh and coming with a lot of amazing packages installed with it. I can see Messi still celebrating after is victory in the World Cup and his main target or wish have been granted. I miss my favorite black player Saka and can't wait for the resumption.

Now that the World Cup is all over, The premier league would be no doubt be more exciting as players would now return to their various clubs with great experience gotten from playing in the World Cup. I particularly would love to see Manchester United with its complete squad play a game. I’m pretty sure they would win. I think Manchester United’s Rashford has gotten better in his gameplay and has acquired some level of experience playing in the World Cup. I’m eager for the premier league to resume cause it’s going to be sure exciting.

I am very happy for Lionel Messi. He finally can say that he won it all. At this point, I don’t think Lionel Messi is going to care too much about anything. He can literally right now and he’s going to have a complete career. I think the players will need a little time to start performing well in the club competition, especially after a break like this. And a lot of teams are going to have changes brought in. But players will have to start performing well from the start because half of the season is already gone. The Premier League is going to be interesting with a few injuries. I am still thinking that Manchester City should be the teen which will win the Premier League title. Even though Arsenal is at the top of the table right now.

[BIT-BENDER]

I honestly think Alvarez deserves to be in the starting lineup for Manchester United. He really showed that when giving an opportunity he has what it takes to do a good strikers job and even being second choice to Erling Halaand he has managed to score a reasonable amount of goals.

I would love to see the two of them on the pitch at the same time I think Manchester city would find it difficult to not score than to score.

[Ayers]

I think Newcastle should focus more on clinching top 4 position of the league this season, then the next target should be winning the league after beefing up their squad with more quality players in the summer transfer window, if they wanted to focus on winning the league this season they might ended up not finishing on a good position, EPL is a very tough and competitive league, it's better a club set target and meet up with the target for that season rather than chase shadows, I am not undermining the strength and quality of the club, based on past records a newly well funded clubs do perform well after one or two seasons in the league.

The way Newcastle have been performing this season is truly amazing. They are third in the table. And perhaps they have only lost one match this season. Newcastle have no star players. Due to the good bond between the team players, they have been able to maintain the consistency of their performance. But I would say if Newcastle want to qualify for the Champions League they need to strengthen their squad. The team should bring star players. Newcastle's owner is very rich. But we don't know yet whether they are interested in spending money to strengthen the team.

Newcastle should stay focus to be among the top four,this should be their target because I don't see them winning the league but with their quality and good players anything can happen. Arsenal is already topping the table and will not give chance to Newcastle, they are targeting to be this season EPL winner which they have been working towards tirelessly.
Next week we can begin to see if these clubs can be consistent with their previous performance before the world cup or not. Transfer windows will also help in boosting up some clubs as new players will be bought and this can be an advantage to clubs that were not performing well before the world cup.

Newcastle United did only lose one match this season so far. But at the same time, they have six draws. I can say that some of those letters should really not have been a draw. Those matches should have been losses for Newcastle United.

Newcastle United has certainly improved. They have three matches to win the competition resumes, against mid-table teams. But after that, they are going to face Arsenal. I don’t know if they will be able to win that match against Arsenal. If they bring a draw that is going to be a good enough result for them in my opinion. But the way Arsenal is playing, I do not think Arsenal will ever go for a draw in that match.

Arsenal also has two quite easy matches before they face Newcastle United. So they will not use their full strength in those matches and will try to win against Newcastle United at any cost.

Brentford ended their winless streak with a Manchester City victory. However there has been a long time since then. I think Tottenham will make a strong return by defeating Brentford.

 This is football we're talking about, and in case you have forgotten all the drama that happened in Qatar where smaller teams are beating the bigger teams and even eliminating them. Brentford have no chance of beating Tottenham doesn't mean anything can't happen in favor of the Bees, the Tottenham in question are even struggling in there friendly game against Nice, they're still going to find it hard to claim 3pts when they come against the Bees.

 Brentford are really going through hard times but I see them trying to get back to winning ways if not causing problems for the big 6.
