Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[makishart]

December 26, 2022 The English Premier League is back. Every club continues to prepare for the next match of the season. Every player who played for their respective national teams at the 2022 World Cup seems to have returned to the club and has been training together even though some clubs have already played matches in the Carabao Cup.

Here are some of the matches that will be presented this week:

• Brenford vs Tottenham
• Cystal Palace vs Fulham
• Everton vs Wolves
• Leicester vs Newcastle
• Southampton vs Brighton
• Aston Villa vs Liverpool
• Arsenal vs West Ham

Surely we have our own analysis and views on matches that are interesting to watch. But among the matches above, the Arsenal vs West Ham match will be an interesting match in my opinion.

Glad to see that EPL is coming back again after carabao cup. It seems like that some matches like aston villa vs liverpool and arsenal vs west ham were so easy to predict which team that will be winning the match. That's easy points for arsenal.
West ham was on the 16th position and arsenal can win easily against west ham. I just wanna see how good the performance from arsenal against west ham once arsenal will be playing without gabriel jesus as a striker.
Will it give great impact to the arsenal's performance? Arsenal will be facing easy team.

Liverpool not priority with EFL Cup and eliminated early make them have many time for taking rest than Manchester City will have busy match schedule later, actually when EFL Cup result draw will play for second leg. I think Liverpool have focus with Primer League right now after have bad started and left many points from  Arsenal.

I don't agree with your assumption, every competition they participate in should be important and also a priority. It's true that the EFL Cup isn't bigger than the Premier League and Champions League, but that doesn't mean these competitions aren't important to win. To be honest, I don't really like that kind of assumption when big team seem to lose to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Manchester City still have back to top performance after remaining 5 points from Arsenal have consistency performance and managed top standing position.

The league is still long, changing positions in the standings is still very possible. Of course Manchester City needs to improve their form to stay close to Arsenal, they need to win match and that will open up more opportunities to take the top spot from Arsenal.

Every trophy is important for every club irrespective of the pedigree of the competition. They all field in players to participate and win them to boost the club Trophy cabinet. I watch the Liverpool game and they actually played well. But the Midfield is weak and has been all season. With no great defensive cover, the defense has been very naked and also in the attack, they’re lacking the cutting edge. Klopp really need to fix the team and avoid conceding unnecessary goals.

Maybe Leicester have started to make progress in the Premier League by their recent results. However their next match is going to be a quite tough one. The opponent is Newcastle and we have all witnessed how strong they have been no matter what their matches have been against similar level of teams or bigger teams. We have had a long break to the leagues of course and we never know how the teams in the league will be returning by the first matches. But I still hope to see a competitive match between Leicester and Newcastle.

If you look at Leicester's last five matches you can see that they conceded only one goal. It was against Manchester City and their only loss in the meantime. As they have made a big improvement in defense I think they have the strength to get at least one point against Newcastle and stop their winning streak at the same time.

I can say Ten Hag is doing a great job so far by putting the team together but looking at the big clubs that are coming for Rashford, Manchester United will be in big trouble when the January window when it opens. They can only hope Rashford will decide to remain loyal to United or accept a big money move to PSG to play with the best players in the world which every other player dreams of. I think it may come to Rashford picking ambition or loyalty to the club.

Last night's match was quite tough, the two teams attacked each other and drew with the same score 2 - 2 but Man City's decisive goal was scored by Nathan Ake in the 58th minute taking advantage of an assist from Kevin De Bruyne while changing the scoreboard to 3 - 2 until the last minute. Jurgen Klopp was hit hard by this result, Liverpool still can't match Man City this season, homework is getting harder to face other strong teams in the EPL.

The depth of Manchester City's squad can really be relied on, they have successfully carried out the role as a substitute. Phil Foden and Joao Cancelo started off the bench, as they were not yet in their prime condition. Erling Haaland, Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Ake managed to score one goal each for Manchester City's victory, while De Bruyne managed to provide two assists in the victory.

Liverpool did not perform optimally, Darwin Nunez did not show his best quality, while Fabio Carvalho and Mohamed Salah managed to equalize, but in the 58th minute Nathan Ake managed to score one goal while bringing Manchester City to victory and get full points.

Of all the players who competed, my eyes were only on Kevin De Bruyne, he is a genius who knows when to cross for his teammates to score goals, his role is so important that he is always the first choice for Pep Guardiola. And the results Man City got were very decent and for Liverpool it looks like Jurgen Kloop will be a little dizzy with the performance of his team.

I noticed some great problems with the Manchester City team against Liverpool, which they did not have before the World Cup. They showed great performance to football fans. Hopefully, from this match, the coach of the Manchester City team will find some great problems and fix them to prepare for the next match.

PSG are rumored to be offering Rashford a million a week salary if he signs a free transfer contract (PSG will get him for free). Against this background, playing some kind of mind games at the risk of losing (for free lol) such a valuable player as Rashford is an extreme degree of stupidity. However, for Tenh Hag this is normal behavior - everyone has already understood that the most important “star” in United will be himself personally 

Excited rumor with PSG interested want to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, I don't think will have real agreement deal due PSG have best forward nowadays from Lionel Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. But I have little possibility viewed for PSG want to sign Rashford if can't reach agreement extended contract for Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi contract with PSG expiry at June 2023 and still have negotiation between PSG and Lionel Messi for extended his contract one or two years later, but if can't make Lionel Messi extended contract have chance for PSG try to get Rashford for replacing position leaving by Lionel Messi.

I think Rashford is Mbappe's replacement, not Messi. Messi renewed his "PR halo" after the World Cup and now PSG can extend his contract with him for another year (although this is a minus decision in sports terms). Another thing is that Mbappe will most likely try to leave PSG in the summer and in this case they definitely need a striker. Judging by the salary that is offered to Rashford, the bet will be on him and he will be main striker (it's hard to refuse such proposal).

On the other hand, Manchester United still needs this player to remain part of them. The reason is that no player has been prepared to replace him, apart from several rumors from several players who have been linked with Manchester United, but still, if there is no agreement between them, it means that their status is still a question mark. Rashford will be released by Manchester United, if MU has got the player they are after. They certainly won't take the risk of selling their players, while they themselves are still in a difficult situation like now. Erik Ten Hag will surely realize this and must prevent his players from leaving, otherwise it will be a loss for them to face the second round of the Premier League this season.

Yesterday in the match it was clear that this tournament was also interesting for Liverpool, they played the main team and the intrigue in the match was throughout the game, City took the lead twice, but Liverpool equalized the score twice (the second goal was becouse of Ortega's mistake), the third time to Liverpool it could not be repeated. Perhaps now it will be easier for Klopp, the fewer tournaments, the more attention they will be able to pay to the Premier League and the Champions League. Of course for Klopp the UCL zone is the minimum task, but now they are 7 points behind the UCL zone, this is a lot but Liverpool must cope with this task.

I have been watching whole game liverpool against manchester city. Liverpool was doing so well by scoring two goals but city has been doing better than liverpool by making the third goal from heading. That's why liverpool was not luck enough caused by the defender was wrongly calculate the pass that was really accurate to be headed by city's player. UCL is still very long. EPL will come soon but there will be some changes going to happen just like liverpool that may get new defender gvardiol as its new player.
That will make the defensive line of liverpool become even stronger. Salah has been the best against city. He was making a goal. Liverpool's effort must be appreciated.

Liverpool played well. It is just that the midfield and the defence was woeful. Honestly Klopp need to do a huge work on the back line failure. All 3 easy goals come from there. Klopp need to do something with Gomez and Robertson. You can't allow your opponent wingers beat you and go freely. Nunez got fantastic pace but need to go super crazy on shoot accuracy. He need to start writing that and he will be liverpool new era if he conqure it.

The team he built was specifically designed for his purposes, he has a formation and a system which is gegenpress and he perfected it and built a team around it which gave them a title and even one UCL which City doesn't even have even after 4 titles.

I think it's quite important to also note that whatever tactic you play with, eventually people figure it out and beat you with it. Tiki-taka was the best one for a while, destroyed everyone, know look at it, Mourinho parked the bus, he is no longer at Real or anything but Roma, trying to hope for an UCL entry. Gegenpress was awesome, but people already figured it out, they need to change it already.

Every competition is important but a like Liverpool usually have their own competition priority, just the same like as most other big teams.
It is proven that most big teams wont use their main squad when they play on low priority competition such as EFL.
Most big teams use such competition to give opportunity for their young squad to play and at the same time to give rest for the main squad.
I dont think it is an assumption but it is a fact that you can see yourself in that competitions.

I agree that the Premier League is still quite long, which means that the fight for a winner is still wide open for the top 10 teams. Maybe Arsenal is currently at the top of the standings with 37 points, but it does not rule out the possibility that Liverpool, who are in 6th place in the standings, can catch Arsenal in the future. Even though Arsenal is doing very well in the middle of this season, it is possible that after January has passed, teams like Manchester City, Newcastle United and Tottenham will be able to grow very quickly in 2023.

I wonder how excited and ambitious Chelsea players are now. If I were in their place I would have looked forward to playing our next match in the league and get a win finally. Because Chelsea couldn't get any win for five weeks. They scored only 2 goals in total in these matches which is just horrible. This isn't the Chelsea we have known so far that's for certain. Tuchel's departure and Potter's arrival haven't changed anything at all for now. I know that Potter still needs time but Chelsea are getting away from top 4 week by week.

The fans wouldn't expect less than a ticket to the Champions League. As long as they don't win the Champions League title this season surprisingly, their job is really hard to make it there next season.

• Brenford vs Tottenham
• Cystal Palace vs Fulham
• Everton vs Wolves
• Leicester vs Newcastle
• Southampton vs Brighton
• Aston Villa vs Liverpool
• Arsenal vs West Ham

Surely we have our own analysis and views on matches that are interesting to watch. But among the matches above, the Arsenal vs West Ham match will be an interesting match in my opinion.

I think all the matches that all the teams in the first five position before the break have, are all important games as these games will also determine if the teams are set to continue in the same manner they ended before the breaks. Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United before the break were first to fifth respectively with the teams in second to fifth having very close difference in points. All the games will be exciting as the teams will be hoping not to loose their positions on the table this early in the second start to the league.

[Tumanggor]

I don't see Newcastle dropping points anytime soon because with the kind of players they have and the kind of team spirit in the camp at the moment,their main target is to remain in the top four or better still,win the premier league.Anything is possible in football,they might be waiting for just a slide from Arsenal to close up the gap they have between them,Manchester city and Arsenal.
Although I know this will be impossible to do but we can't just rule it out,whereas Tothenham are behind Newcastle and want to overtake them by all means,but with the way I'm seeing things the season, Newcastle might finish above Totthenham,Liverpool,and Chelsea.

I can't wait to see the EPL restart, and also see the match between Newcastle vs Leicester City. in this match I'm sure newcastle will make another surprise, they will definitely win, newcastle is an unexpected team, they have performed very well so far

I agree with you that most likely Newcastle will finish in the top 4 and get a UCL ticket for next season

I think it may come to Rashford picking ambition or loyalty to the club.

Not sure Rashford would want to go to PSG, but if Rashford is only concerned about money then maybe. But if Rashford does want to be a main player, then it looks like playing at PSG will only make Rashford a second choice and that means, if Rashford plays at PSG then Rashford must be prepared to be on the bench more often.
Therefore, I am sure Rashford will stay at Manchester United because under Erik ten Hag's coaching at Manchester United at least Rashford can become a key player for Erik ten Hag.

So, if Rashford does have considerations to continue playing in the starting eleven, then settling at Manchester United is the right choice. Because after all, Manchester United under the coach of Erik ten Hag has also been able to stay in the top five so far which of course is something great.
Because it would be useless if Rashford earns a high fee but is only a substitute player, because I think PSG are not short of players for their attack line. So yes, settling down at Manchester United and rising with the team, of course that would be great for his long term career with Manchester United.

December 26, 2022 The English Premier League is back. Every club continues to prepare for the next match of the season. Every player who played for their respective national teams at the 2022 World Cup seems to have returned to the club and has been training together even though some clubs have already played matches in the Carabao Cup.

Here are some of the matches that will be presented this week:

• Brenford vs Tottenham
• Cystal Palace vs Fulham
• Everton vs Wolves
• Leicester vs Newcastle
• Southampton vs Brighton
• Aston Villa vs Liverpool
• Arsenal vs West Ham

Surely we have our own analysis and views on matches that are interesting to watch. But among the matches above, the Arsenal vs West Ham match will be an interesting match in my opinion.

Glad to see that EPL is coming back again after carabao cup. It seems like that some matches like aston villa vs liverpool and arsenal vs west ham were so easy to predict which team that will be winning the match. That's easy points for arsenal.
West ham was on the 16th position and arsenal can win easily against west ham. I just wanna see how good the performance from arsenal against west ham once arsenal will be playing without gabriel jesus as a striker.
Will it give great impact to the arsenal's performance? Arsenal will be facing easy team.

I feel Arsenal will win this match. Gabriel Jesus' role as Arsenal striker who is rumored to be injured could be replaced by Edward Nketiah.

The Arsenal vs West Ham match has the potential to be a London derby match that has the opportunity to be more exciting this week compared to other London derbies.
If we refer to the temporary standings, West Ham United's position is 16th, but The Hammers will certainly not make it easy for Arteta to extend Arsenal's victory this season even though the match will take place at Emirates Stadium. Moreover, in a friendly match against Juventus a few days ago Arsenal lost 0-2 at their stadium.

If Arsenal are able to win, approximately can the score will be over 2?

[indah rezqi]

I feel Arsenal will win this match. Gabriel Jesus' role as Arsenal striker who is rumored to be injured could be replaced by Edward Nketiah.

In the two friendly matches, it seems that Eddie Nketiah has not found good performance. He couldn't score or assist his team's win, but of course he contributed to a some of things. Eddie Nketiah doesn't look good as a substitute for the injured Jesus, so Arteta should be able to think of another strategy against West Ham.

If Arsenal are able to win, approximately can the score will be over 2?

No, I think the score will be a draw.

The fans wouldn't expect less than a ticket to the Champions League. As long as they don't win the Champions League title this season surprisingly, their job is really hard to make it there next season.

For Chelsea this season has been quite tough and getting a ticket to the Champions League is clearly getting further from expectations. There is a lot of competition going on in the top 5 of the table, all of which are above Chelsea level in terms of performance and team management. So I'm not sure if Potter can fix a club as big as Chelsea in a short time. In fact, after Tuchel left, Potter did not make any significant changes in optimizing game performance. There are many hurdles for Chelsea to overcome if they want to have a ticket, but as I said everything seems far away based on the probabilities of their current performance.

I agree with you that most likely Newcastle will finish in the top 4 and get a UCL ticket for next season

It's  not a surprise anymore with the way Newcastle are performing and how poor Leicester are performing. Newcastle should be able to win this easily but I expect Leicester to change their momentum after the World Cup as I don't expect them to relegate at the end of the season. Newcastle on other hand also should be targetting to keep their momentum going on still. It's a tough game  but Newcastle seems to be the likely one although a part of me also supports Leicester here too.
