Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's true, anything that looks impossible can happen in football, moreover this is the Premier League which we all know that the Premier League is a league that is very difficult to predict the results of matches or who will win the title. Until this week we have seen lots of surprises from the teams that are here. It is possible that even in the Liverpool match they will feel disappointment when they face Brentford later.

Liverpool have indeed lost to a bottom team this season, but Liverpool definitely don't want to be conceded for the second time even though Brentford is not a team that is at the bottom. I believe that the Liverpool vs Brentford match will be even more exciting and this is what the audience really wants because when there are two teams that are fighting for full points, then the match will be even more interesting to watch

Really Liverpool is a team that can give many surprises, perhaps Mo Salah is not 100% connected to be able to perform as he is in the team, the Egyptian has to show his caste and be able to do something for his team, unless he is thinking about going to another team, but I know that they have a pending account with Real Madrid and that is something that every footballer always wants to do, take revenge on his team and show that he is at the level of his rival, and that is what the fans or what the fans are looking for, however Liverpool's results are nothing more than satisfactory, it's a bit sad but for now they have to do something to improve.

Confirmed: Cody Gakpo decision made as Brentford v Liverpool lineups emerge

Keane Lewis-Potter and Mikkel Damsgaard are both on the bench, joining Thomas Strakosha, Sergi Canos, Josh Dasilva, Saman Ghoddos, Mads Bech Sorensen, Tristan Crama and Ryan Trevitt.

Liverpool go with Alisson between the sticks but there are changes in the back four as Ibrahima Konate replaces Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas is in at left back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk keep their places though, joining Konate and Tsimikas at the back.

Fabinho will protect the back four tonight with Thiago Alcantara and Harvey Elliott joining him in midfield.

Darwin Nunez leads the line once again with Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain featuring on the flanks.

There is no Cody Gakpo in the squad tonight with Jurgen Klopp deciding to leave the new signing out for now.

Liverpool's last five meetings with Brentford have all ended in a draw or a win for the Reds. They've lost to a bottom-tier team this season, but I believe this match will be very different. Brentford is currently ranked tenth in the Premier League and is competing with other teams to move up the table. They're both going for the full three points, despite the fact that Liverpool appears to be the superior team. It will be an interesting match to watch.

Even Liverpool currently on bad performance, but I believe if they will be playing well on this matches. Because they are need to compete for the UCL positions for the next season. As you said, from last few mathes, in paper Liverpool should be can take points from. In case they are failed, Klopp need to review his squad and strategy on the field because Liverpool really differents this season if we are compared to the last season.

Brentford host Liverpool in today's match of the day. Brentford are playing well this year. Liverpool has to win the match to stay in the top 5. We can say that both teams have no problem in finding goals. I think we are in for a game with plenty of goals. It is possible that we will see goals from both teams. Liverpool will move up to 5th place if they win the match. They will want to start the year well.

Liverpool finally managed to keep the rhythm. They started to win games in a row. They beat Leicester City last week and with this win they came a little closer to the top of the league. If they manage to beat Brentford this week, they will move closer to the top 4 teams in the league. I think this will be a very important match for them. On the other hand, Brentford are not an easy opponent either. They have not lost their last 5 matches in the league. They are not easy bites. Liverpool will win this game in my opinion. Because the probability of them entering the top 4 started to increase day by day. I think they will not miss this opportunity.

I watched Tottenham is still warming up, Aston villa winning with two goals and a record of 21 points. However, everyone seems disappointed with Tottenham Hotspur's performance after losing against Aston villa.

Although we know Tottenham as a strong team but unfortunately they lost 2-0 to Aston Villa. However, Tottenham players tried their best to win against Aston Villa but could not succeed in any way. However, Tottenham's players will perform well in the next matches. Tottenham currently have 30 group points And Aston Villa's group point is 21. Next match Crystal Palace vs Tottenham this match will be held on 5th January let's see which team can perform well. Crystal Palace are far behind Tottenham in the group and now it will be a head-to-head clash to see which team wins.

Brentford previously was successful by holding Tottenham to a draw, I think Liverpool must be able to do better than Tottenham to take their position in the table standings for awhile. The match has started let's watch Brentford tensity to at least not lose points in this match, but Liverpool will continue their winning streak until they reach the target of at least being in the top four. I agree there is a possibility both teams can score in this match, but for a plenty of goals I doubt it.

The performance of Brentford is very low compare to what Liverpool has done in the last 5 matches if we include their friendly matches, they dont have a consistency, however, they have beat some hot teams like Manchester City even when they went to their home, the same Manchester City has beat Liverpool on the same month, I feel Liverpool wouldn't have it easy with this guys, it will likely end with draw because they are having the match in Middlesex, home of Brentford that they will likely protect it, even if they cannot win because of the humiliation they had with Liverpool in the Anfield.

Witnessing match results in EPL games this season is quite shocking. Tottenham Hotspur losing to Aston villa in their first new year game. Disappointing glare on Anthonio Conte face, while Unai Emery bouncing to the premier league with winning points. The spurs ranking 5th on the table, their position is slightly compromise by Liverpool and Manchester united, they need to strive harder in their next game if they want the priority to be in the Top four this season.

Brentford 1-0 Liverpool

I can't really believe that Brentford is winning Liverpool. Because earlier before the match start. I had an argument with a brother that Liverpool will win Brentford and he said Brentford will win Liverpool and from what I am seeing now, I am speechless.

For the ball possession, Liverpool is more than Brentford but both on target and off target shorts, Brentford is leading. Liverpool goalkeeper is good if not they would received more than 3 goals by now. Though this is just the first half, let see what will happen in the second half of the game. Liverpool might wake up to win the game

The match had started and it was already 40 minutes but Liverpool now had to try to catch up to an own goal by Ibrahima Konate.
To be honest, this is a little difficult in my opinion with Brentford who always defends and takes advantage of counterattacks and the condition of Liverpool's attack line is still not improving.
I actually hope Liverpool win but I'm still not sure for now.

the chances were quite striking for Brentford who even controlled 24 percent of possession.
This is really bad, even though Liverpool controlled the game but indeed their attacks were wasted a lot and most of them were in the midfield because it was difficult to penetrate the Brentford defense. But if this continues I think it will be difficult. Liverpool have to work even harder now.

[GiftedMAN]

Brentford 2:0 Liverpool.

Watching Liverpool lose in a very bad way gets me wondering if the Liverpool team is really prepared to play the EPL this season, very funny to see Wissa score multiple goals but VAR stood strong to cancel his goal finally he scored a fantastic header to give the home team two goals ahead of Liverpool.

Can Liverpool bounce back in this game against Brentford?

[Ratash]

Brentford are leading the game 2 0 i wasn't expecting the game to go this way i did think that they will cause trouble to liverpool but they totaly dominated the first half i don't think liverpool can manage a comeback especially the way brentford are playing i think the draw is the best they can do.

[Bananington]

Brentford 1-0 Liverpool

I can't really believe that Brentford is winning Liverpool.

Should have been four goals now had two goals not been ruled out for offside. The pressure that this Brentford side brings to games did not reduce even with Tooney not playing for them. Wissa who has been his replacement has been excellent. Liverpool have been outplayed and have not been to handle the set pieces from Brentford. This game will be difficult for Liverpool to recover from certainly because I believe that Brentford will try to get more goals in the second half to make this their win a very memorable one.

Liverpool have saved their goals twice by VAR but still they conceded again through Wissa's header, indeed Brentford is quite good at building counterattacks they are fast and that makes Liverpool's defense a little overwhelmed and are now 2-0 down will there be any changes in the second half? ?

Liverpool still find it difficult to find space even though they have controlled the ball well whereas Brentford and his defense are compact not to make mistakes or own goals, and this Brentford sometimes surprises the big teams which I think it will be easier for Liverpool but the fact is hard to deal with do except change in the second half.

[herurist]

This week it wasn't just Chelsea because Tottenham, Manchester City and Newcastle also couldn't play well although Tottenham were the worst in this regard.
But it's quite interesting to see the competition now after these conditions.

I was suprised that Chelsea couldn't win Nottingham, Chelsea scored their first goal in the early minutes of the first half, I was expecting them to score more goals in the match because they dominated the match, but unfortunately Nottingham equalized in the second half of the match and ended the match as draw.
Must of the top club's suprised lot's of people this week, some of them draw their match, why some even lose, most people that gambled this week are going to be affected.

It's hard to see conditions like this but on the other hand this is not the first time this has happened because this is the EPL and even a team that is seen as weak can bite at any time.
Now there may also be another surprise. The first half between Brentford and Liverpool was completely unexpected, Liverpool controlled the game but the result is 2-0 in favor of Brentford now and I think it's quite a shame if Liverpool still lose in the second half later.

It is the halftime break right now. And I almost cannot believe what I am watching right now.  

Liverpool is two goals behind currently. The score is Brentford 2-0 Liverpool.

Will Liverpool be able to turn the tides of the match in the second half?

Liverpool is going through a rough patch right now this season. They have been very inconsistent throughout this whole season. And this match is not helping them right now.

Klopp was increasingly panicked at the fact that his team was 2-0 behind Brentford, in the first half Brentford could outperform Liverpool in terms of attack. Klopp will make a change in strategy in the second half to catch up, Liverpool, who dominate possession, must create opportunities to find goals. After seeing what happened in the first half, it's really exciting to wait for the second half to start. Goals will be created again from both teams, especially Liverpool who are catching up.

This is really bad for Liverpool. If they don't try harder in the second half of course it will be a little difficult for them especially with the current 2 goals behind.

Interesting to see the statistics for both teams in this first round

Liverpool are indeed superior in terms of ball possession but seeing the opportunities and goals created by Brentford are of course very good with a defensive strategy and taking advantage of counterattacks.
Liverpool need to change the scheme now with their conditions like this. It has been seen that Liverpool are always late to return to their posts when Brentford counterattacks quickly and in the second half later this must be corrected by Klopp.

[ShowOff]

This match at first glance looks like it will be won by Liverpool from the inside of the squad owned by Jurgen Klopp. But I do not dare to say that Liverpool's victory is 100%.

But you have to look at the score right now, I mean Brentford 2 - 0 Liverpool in the first half.
What would happen to Liverpool having to lose in the first half with 2 goals like this, and now who doesn't know if they can really get back up after being left behind. The second half will start soon, and I think Liverpool still have a chance to score points in this match.

After lost in the first half 2-0 from Brentford, Liverpool's odds have increased where they are currently @7.50 or @8.0 for the favourites team. Well I'm not sure if this is good but for a draw I have the odds at @4.0.

As I said before, that Brentford has a pretty decent performance, while Liverpool was not at their best. So even though Liverpool dominated the game, they didn't really have a good chance that could become a goal. Brentford is not a big team, but they often play well against big teams. I think Liverpool will definitely play tooth and nail in the second half, but they also can't let their guard down because Brentford has quite a dangerous counterattack.
