Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ShowOff]

Is Arsenal really taking the position or will Man City take it?

This can be done as long as Haaland and the other players are really able to maintain their best form.
It's not a big problem in my opinion about the point difference between Arsenal and Manchester City at the moment, definitely not a difficult number to catch.

I realized that the title race this season is never going to be easy for Manchester City, Arsenal and whichever team is the favourite. The Premier League has become tougher season after season although Manchester City have completely dominated the title in recent seasons. As a fan, I hope Manchester City are able to defend their title this season, it is clear to me that I will be very proud.

There is no sensible reason for Manchester United not to extend Rashford's contract at this point. He is like one of the most valuable players in the team in terms of price and contribution both. They just can't afford losing a player like him for now. They are already not having a very comfortable season in the league. Losing one of their critical players would make things even more difficult in their remaining matches. Rashford was making a big contribution to the team until some weeks before. But there has been some drop in his effort recently. However he can still get over it easily as he is a talented player.

If he chooses to go to PSG instead of continuing here it would be very meaningless. Because Neymar and Mbappe is clearly staying and Messi's contract would be extended soon as well. Rashford will have to wait in the subs at least for one season there.

I'm so excited that the premier league is back and I can now watch my favorite team play every weekend again. I think this game could go either way, Tottenham are a good side and Brentford will be looking to continue their winning streak after a successful game against Manchester city in the last fixture before the international break. Tottenham will be looking to gain maximum points from their remaining fixtures.

Even though Tottenham had good domination when playing against Brentford, but at this moment I personally don't seem to be completely sure that Tottenham will win. Because so far Brentford has played at home, at least Brentford can play well, because Brentford's only defeat at home so far this season has only been a defeat by Arsenal.
So yes, maybe Brentford can still hold Tottenham to a draw this match which will be played at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Considering also that Tottenham so far this season have not always been smooth in getting points in away matches, with considerations like that it is enough to make me doubt that Tottenham will be able to beat Brentford.
But if the prediction is on paper then of course Tottenham will win because in fact, in terms of the current odds, Tottenham are predicted to win.

Tonight will be the 1/8 EFL Cup match, City will host Liverpool, so you can already enjoy football today. The last three matches between these teams Liverpool were the winner, it's time to change this, and bookmakers give odds for City to win 1.68 for Liverpool to win 4.5 I think that City's advantage will not be as big as it is reflected in the odds. Teams approach this match without significant losses, it should be a good game.

[Docnaster]

The world cup is over, and so many teams out there are already prepared to give out the shocking result. One should be very careful while making choices on betting slips. EPL will be having a different dimension in this remaining half of the season. I know, as a result of past performance and results, a lot of teams will be underrated
 And I will not be surprised to see the top teams lose to the small ones because of this. I think that, before the end of this season, there will be changes in the EPL top 4 positions.

It will not be that easy for Manchester City to replace Arsenal despite losing this match. WestHam is an opponent I think Arsenal can face easily, they have advantages in many ways than West Ham. Even though they will be the players who have been their mainstay for a while, I am sure that Arsenal can maintain their performance against this opponent who is not superior.
They have made thorough preparations before this match, and also I don't see West Ham's advantages in any way.

It could still be easy , since we still have a lot of matches to be played, I do still believe in Manchester City to be the champions of premier league regardless of how many points that Arsenal is using to gap them.

WestHam United got good team and is not a soft team to play , They got this experience in handling Big teams and Arsenal is not exceptional to this.

They are both London clubs, the game will be very difficult but Arsenal should get the win at the end
West Ham are not consistent enough to win over Arsenal this season they haven't beaten any top premier league club.

Man United are on another level it is good to see that Rashford playing very well on both wings left and right, yesterday the goal was a master class. Brilliant in ball from Bissaka to give Erikson another goal for united

One thing that was indeed Man United mistake when they didn't renew Rasford contract was that they would return to their initial settings and the team's performance also decreased again. Rashford just needs to hone his skills longer at Man United and make himself a core player to keep. The potential for a young age that Man United must watch out for at this time. I no longer understand how the direction and goals of Man United, including Ten Hag, view the future of big clubs at this time.

[Yogee]

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.

Up to January, Arsenal will play 6 games while City will play 8 games in different leagues starting from tomorrow vs Liverpool in EFL Cup, twice vs Chelsea in EPL and FA Cup, vs ManU and Spurs

Good point. Gunners may be leading right now but I still think the depth of their squad is not enough to sustain their position at the top. City are better positioned in my opinion to take on as many games in a month and still win most of it. Let's see if they make some moves before the January transfer window closes.

Marcus Rashford is one of a series of young players who managed to become a big player who came from the United junior team. If I'm not mistaken, Rashford was first promoted to Manchester United's main squad in 2015, he appeared quite promising even though in the last few seasons his performance has been up and down.
There is another young player from the Manchester United academy who managed to have an impact on the progress of United's game, Mason Greenwood.

Manchester United should return to that and under coach Erik ten Hag according to my observations it has begun to be applied again with the emergence of Anthony Elanga, Granacho and Zidane Iqbal.

Rashford can do lot better and the reason I think United didn't offered the contract extension because they had that clause in his contract and maybe needed time till the last moment to think about the player if they want to keep him or let go because there are too much of striker and right now with the situation where they terminated Ronaldo's contract they need to have him now. I think Rashford is crucial for the squad and yes he does need to live up to the expectations as he is part of one of the big clubs of the PL.

City are better positioned in my opinion to take on as many games in a month and still win most of it. Let's see if they make some moves before the January transfer window closes.

Everyone agrees that Arsenal lacks squad depth, and as we can see right now, they are still figuring out what formation to use against West Ham United because of Gebrieil Jesus' injury.
They do have his replacement, but Nketia isn't strong enough to handle the pressure the entire Arsenal team is under, so if they're serious about winning the league, they'll need to move quickly in the January transfer window to acquire a striker.

Of course, all players who play for top teams must succeed in meeting expectations and will obviously be required to perform optimally in every match. This season Rashford looks more convincing, maybe because of Ten Hag and his strategy. But I don't think Rashford ever really got to his peak as a striker. He is still young and has to work hard, even I think Saka who plays at Arsenal is much better than Rashford now.

On the other hand, I think Manchester United still needs a striker who can really become a mainstay player. Anthony Martial has not been performing well due to his propensity for injuries, and after Ronaldo's departure it is only natural that someone thinks of a player who deserves to replace him. Depay or Gakpo are the only two possible signings, I'd love to see one of them there this season.

for those players who were not called up by the national team from countries that took part in yesterday's world cup event, of course, they had plenty of time to rest and practice when the world cup was in progress, of course these players are fully fit for the league match later, but not sure about some of the players called up by the national team from other countries. those who took part in the world cup yesterday and played until they reached the final may still be a little less physically fit because they have been playing for a full month, I think if there is a change in the top 4 you mean maybe Manchester City will shift Arsenal at the top of the standings later

It seems that Mikel Arteta will be a little confused by the injury to Gabriel Jesus, we know Gabriel Jesus has been outstanding with the Gunners this season and his replacement like Nketia is still a doubt to fill his place in the starting line-up. But if there are other options, it requires Mikel Arteta to immediately spend on players in the transfer market later. Many strikers have performed brilliantly in WC 2022, of course Arsenal will be looking for target players in the near future.

Tottenham are going to have the opening game and their opponent is Brentford. Honestly I don't expect a very tough challenge for Tottenham. Because they haven't been dealing with big issues against smaller teams in the league so far. Brentford don't have a good record against them either. They have a really difficult job to defend Tottenham attackers.

Maybe Kane missed that penalty for England but he should get over it in not much time. He was already one of the good players in his national team. He would focus on his games in the Premier League and I expect him to score against Brentford as well. He is already the top scorer of his team.

Penalty misses are not uncommon. But since Harry Kane has done it on the best stage of the World Cup, it's only natural that everyone can blame him. But I hope Harry Kane will keep up his performance regardless of all this and give Tottenham something good.

Yes, the players who were not called up yesterday for the world cup are confirmed to be optimally fit to return to playing in their respective leagues. Likewise the players who were called up to the world cup yesterday must be ready to return to playing in their league, except for injuries. Because it is their responsibility and also their job professionally.

Changes to the top 4 in my opinion can still happen, but for Manchester City it could be shifted to Arsenal who are at the top of the standings and even then if Arsenal play inconsistently and experience several defeats in the next game.

I see Manchester United has no striker to rely on Anthony Martial is not the ideal type he is still not skilled enough in carrying out his duties so he is more reserved unless there are no other players then Anthony Martial can be played by Ten Hag, so a new striker is very it is needed as for rumors of Depay and Gakpo these two figures are very good especially for Gakpo who has a young age even though he doesn't have experience in the English league but he will be enough to be a striker for Ten Hag.
But I see that now Manchester United will focus more on extending the contracts of several players that Ten Hag is expecting.

I no longer understand how the direction and goals of Man United, including Ten Hag, view the future of big clubs at this time.

At the moment I don't think it will be like that because in any case they have tried even before the world cup started they have planned to make a new long contract even though there is still an automatic extension clause for one season.
So there is no word not to extend this matter because indeed their intention from before the world cup was held had proven that Rashford would be a priority for Manchester United.

So many penalties missed in the world cup. The penalty that Kane missed seems normal to me, of course, it was very critical. He scored one penalty kick, someone else should have used the other. Anyway, I'm closing this issue. As you said, Totthenem has three losses in their last five games, they were all great teams. I don't expect them to have much difficulty in this game. In the next matches in this match, if they find a little morel in this match with easy opponents, they will get through the other matches with ease.
