Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Docnaster]

Since the starting of the second half of this season ,Manchester and Arsenal have become the top talked team of the EPL. Their wave is really shaking other teams in the the Epl table. According to some fans ,The fight now seem to be between Manchester city and Arsenal only. But recently I so much believe in Manchester unite. Since the return from the just concluded FIFA world cup, man united have won nearly all their matches and are now so close to the epl top leaders. I sense Manchester United will end this season with a title.

[hahay]

In less than an hour the match between Manchester United v Everton the FA Cup event will start and it looks like Manchester United will continue to play its main players in this match. So yes, because Manchester United will play its main players at this moment, I personally really believe Manchester United will be able to beat Everton.
Because Everton itself is currently in a bad trend, so I'm not sure that Everton will be able to control this game well.

At this moment I am really very happy with Erik ten Hag, because it looks like they will continue to play with good gameplay in all the matches they play. At least it's evident from the way Erik ten Hag made the starting line-up at this event seem to still be very serious, like he's very hungry for victory in every match.
Therefore, I personally really don't doubt it, it is also possible that Manchester United will win with a score of two goals and of course it will be a good final result.

This week they played very well but they still have two problems to solve in this month and of course the games against 2 big clubs in 1st and 2nd position.
Arsenal and Manchester City will be tough opponents in their next 2 matches and I think this is a little difficult but with this condition I hope they get a good result because I think 1 point is enough if you see the condition of the two opponents they will face.

It’s a similar case for almost all the other top four clubs. As the Spurs faces the league leaders, Manchester United take on City rivals and then Manchester United against Arsenal the following weekend as Tottenham take on City. So if Tottenham can get maximum points from this two matches with surely points dropping in the United matches they might get back into the top 4. Even  Newcastle games against Fulham and Crystal Palace is tricky because both clubs are stubborn against tougher opponents, the weekend game against Tottenham wasn’t just their day. Tottenham biggest problem For the season has always been the lack of consistency mostly against the other top 6 teams in the league. Conte’s previous records has been bad and it needs to change from this next two games. The result from this games will shape Tottenham’s confidence.

Personally, I've not seen much that has changed in the EPL after the world cup in terms of performance, only that most clubs are now showing more seriousness, but still not peculiar in their ranking yet. Arsenal will likely lift the trophy this season, I'm still waiting for the miracle that Man City would perform. They've missed their chance already, they would likely be the first runner-up.

Also, Man U has improved significantly and are kneeling contesting the third position with Newcastle. They might win the third position eventually, but will still end the season behind Man City as the club (Man City) will not take no for an answer.

After Chelsea vs Man City, Man City won. A lot of negative news, as Kepa looked to let Gearlish's cross head towards Mahrez and into a goal. When viewed from above it is actually within its reach. But I don't think it was intentional, the ball was flowing fast and maybe he didn't think it was going to be a pass.

Then next week's match Man City vs Man United. 
I think a lot of people will bet on Man City. Because Man City's last three games have always been winning, even by a large margin. But with today's circumstances it may be different. If Man United want to stay in contention for the champions then they must win. Victory will reduce the points difference.  What do you think of this match.

He thought this would be a goal kick because actually this was within reach and didn't think Mahrez could catch it because indeed if he knew this he would cut in because it was actually within his reach.
This was a little difficult for Kepa because regardless of what decision he made it was not quite right but if you look at his condition when he cut the ball maybe he thought it would be a mess in front of goal later if he tried to brush it off.

[Doell]

You can't predict this match,United have been consistent with winning their matches since they came came back from the world cup break. The team is playing good football and will be able to win City when they meet. Eric Ten Hag boys should not be underestimated.

Man city is second in the league and has more advantage in winning due to their good squad of players but it might not be as we think it,because United will need three points in that match. It will be a game of survival of the fittest.

I think nothing is impossible, even Manchester United can win against Manchester City. But otherwise, Manchester City with all its advantages can also beat Manchester United for the title they are chasing. I think the right thing is, Manchester United have improved in form since the Premier League restarted after the World Cup break. That's really good.

I just think Manchester City can contain the increase in Ten Hag's player on January 14, as Manchester City have done in their last 3 meetings againt Manchester United.

Both teams have a chance. Manchester United have been playing very well and keeping more clean sheets at home this season. Going into this game, if they can stop Manchester city from scoring early, then they stand a chance. Manchester city aren’t in a poor form either, they can punish any team that faces them. But since it’s a derby with a team in a good form, I don’t think there will be a lot of goals from them.

Yes both have a chance, also Manchester United will not be as easy to beat like previous match at Etihad, and I think the possibility is a draw. Although my instinct say Manchester City can to win in this match, but seeing Manchester United performance getting better so I doubt it. Haaland still hungry for goals, I think otherwise there will be a lot of goals from them.

It looks like Liverpool will have to miss Virgil van Dijk for quite some time. That will certainly have an impact on Liverpool's performance. The last time Van Dijk was sidelined for a long time with an injury, things were not going well for Liverpool. You could also say that the time may now have come to do something about the current way of playing, because it is also a bad season with van Dijk at the moment. But they may also be looking for reinforcements as the transfer window closes soon and they need to get down to business quickly. United have already brought in another goalkeeper. A successor to Ronaldo has not yet been achieved and may not come?

This is getting more alarming for Conte's Tottenham so I hope to see improved performances against C. Palace tonight. Maybe they are having problems in defense especially but they can still win by starting to be better at finishing.

After Arsenal played Tottenham in the first leg this season where they were totally outplayed by Arsenal, I noticed that Tottenham is a team that their only tactics is counter attack, and if you can manage to stop that they have nothing else to play but rely on luck. I maintain that stance, it is clearly evident now  with their very recent poor results that they have been having. They have struggle this season a lot, and against crystal palace Tottenham will loose even though it is important that they get a win.

I doubt they will lose... The score just got 2-0 in favor of the Spurs and yes, they do need a win and it seems like they will get one tonight. But the stats are about the same, possession is a bit more with Tottenham and they get their attacks, I don't understand what Crystal Palace lacks to score a goal, they have everything...

That is why it is good to have a star man in your team anytime.
Harry Kane has shown why he is the hit man of Tottenham by bring him team 2 goals up even when they are not playing better football than their opponent.
This is not about possessions, it is about 3 points, 1 point or no point.
I now expect Zaha to step up his game and target the goal post and balance the game.

This is exactly one of the most important things in the game. When you own the ball you feel relaxed and the team plays "their soccer. This also applies to attacks, shots on goal, but yes, you need to have a player who will close it all out. But still, the closing player doesn't necessarily have to be a star, what's the point? I don't think the concept of a "star player" applies here at all.

Yeah I have also heard about his condition and it isn't good at all I'm afraid.

He is expected to miss the Brighton game ahead in the league. Some sources sharing injury news also say that he might be out until mid February. If his injury is really that much serious than this is very bad news for Liverpool. They are already inadequate when it comes to conceding less goals than now even when they have van Dijk. His absence might make the defense even more vulnerable than before. These are important times for Liverpool because the gap with top 4 is getting bigger slowly.

[kawetsriyanto]

Happy based on performance not about losing the match to Manchester City. That's what I meant.

How do you know Chelsea fans are happy because of Chelsea players' performance?
TBH, I rarely heard that fans are happy because of that reason. Only a few fans who can understand about the increase of performance.
Most fans are happy because of the team won the match and got 3 points.

If Chelsea had been performing like this, they won't have lost or drawn some of their matches the way they did.

No guarantee about this. Sometimes good performance can't result in getting 3 points. Without goals, a team cannot win full points.

Sincerely what Chelsea needs badly is a striker that can help do the scoring.

Chelsea has Aubameyang. He is a goal machine.
You must know how Aubameyang performed in Barcelona previously. He still has the ability to be a sharp striker. But surely he needs more opportunities to play, he can't score if he mostly spend the time at the bench.

The last time Van Dijk was sidelined for a long time with an injury, things were not going well for Liverpool.

Liverpool has a lot to cash up with this season, the club have suffered a lot of setbacks this season when they lost some of their key players in the last transfer window, and they have not had a suitable replacement for them and that is really affecting Liverpool's performance this season.
Unlike Manchester united who faced a bad time in the last season but this season since Manchester United got is fixed their position this season is quite impressive, and tonight their game with Everton is on the go with barely 20 minutes into the match and man united is already leading with a goal.

The top four now seems to be very much out of the reach of Chelsea since they lost to Manchester City last night and that’s not the end of their troubles they also lost two players Sterling and Pulsic to injury in the first half.

Personally I think they tried, it’s really not easy holding Manchester city with a complete squad now imagine how they would fare with a weaker team. This victory still puts city in the race for the title with Arsenal.

Chelsea is not included in the race for the title and Champions League ticket this season I don't see Chelsea having a way out of this situation at least until this season
Chelsea need refreshment in the team they can do it next season because there are more options for signing new players. Chelsea's main focus is the striker
from 17 matches they were only able to score 20 goals obviously that is a bad achievement.

[Ryu_Ar1]

No, Manchester City got 3 points in this game. Maybe you mean the 1 goal they got in this match.

But on the other hand I think that unexpected conditions can happen but Arsenal are still strong and 1 point against Newcastle is actually still very good because Newcastle's performance this season is very different. As for Manchester City, it is clear that they must continue to get 3 points like this. 5 points looks still quite small but this is clearly difficult to catch up with Arsenal's current performance.

Arsenal was perfectly fine with that 1 point against Newcastle and as you said, why would they risk during the later phase of the game to actually throw away that 1 point and go all in? They played it the right and the smart way in this case. Haven't lost a game in a long time, tie against their strongest contenders and keep the distance more or less (except for Manchester City who made up for 2 points, but still).

Losing such a key game can also end up in more than just losing two or three points. It can take away momentum and also decrease the positive sentiment within the team and mean a hit to the overall strong moral. This way they are still ok and in the back of their head they also know that Manchester City loses points here and there over and over again this season.

Especially in this case, Arsenal's condition is difficult this month because they have to prepare for several big matches and I think taking 1 point is definitely better.
Luckily, in conditions like this, Manchester City also faced a pretty tough match because Arsenal and Manchester City still have to face two big teams again this month and this is definitely the toughest month for both of them because apart from having to bring points they are faced with a team -great team.
City are still very strong when compared to Manchester United and Tottenham as well as Arsenal but we don't know what will happen because it is very likely that a shift in position due to the clash of teams in the top 5 positions will occur.

Tottenham are back in good shape again finally. The 4-0 win over Crystal Palace was very crucial for the team to start recovering. The match wasn't one-sided despite the final result actually. Crystal Palace also had so many goal attempts but the shots on target percentage was pretty low. Kane was very impressive again by scoring two goals here. He is maintaining his chase against Haaland in top scorers. But the gap is 6 goals which is not easy to close against a player like Haaland.

Kane must be hoping to see some success from the team in this season. Otherwise he might like to leave to join a bigger and more successful team in the near future. Who knows maybe that team would be Bayern Munich.

Kane is a very good football player and one of the best strikers in the world right now, I agree with you on this. But I'm not sure if Bayern will be interested in this player, I think he's a little older. Still, I would love to see Kane play for a better team. As long as he stays at Tottenham, he will not have much of a chance to achieve great success.
It would be a good decision for him to go to a team that competes in the top positions in the Champions League. Of course, it is still too early to talk about these

[BitcoinAccepted]

An entertaining game between United and Everton, in which United quickly took the lead. However, the equalizer was not long in coming and after 15 minutes it was already 1-1. The position that is probably now also on the scoreboard at halftime. United must win this game, but again it is not really convincing. If I have to go by my gut, I think it will be a narrow win for United, something like 2-1. Everton also desperately need the points. It's important for United to win so they can keep the pressure on top for 3rd place.

Regarding Kane: I don't understand why he never went to a top club like City or Liverpool.

[Pulsar77]

I think Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea all aren't in any title race from now on. They are quite away from the leader currently as the gaps are above 10 points at the moment. Even Newcastle and Manchester United also have a really difficult work to do about this situation. The title race is more likely to go on between Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining part of the season. Manchester City are also surprising us by still trailing behind Arsenal after making easy point losses against weaker teams.

This might be really Arsenal's time to win the league title after so many years. But it will be really surprising if Liverpool and Chelsea don't make it to the Champions League. Both of them need to think of a plan B immediately to start the recovery process.

And once again I realize that some of the postings here are really pointless. The match between Manchester United and Everton is an FA Cup match and not a Premier League match so here you are 1. out of place and 2. no points for anyone. But to stay on topic a bit: We're currently on a break in the league, but the FA Cup games are also very interesting to watch

[Franctoshi]

The last match result that Chelsea played with Manchester City has even make it worst for Chelsea to be in the top 4 of the premier league table this season. Right now to improve the performance of the team they need sign in some players to help boost the club.
But they made a lot of signing in the last transfer window and that will be a challenge for them to sign In new players they really need this season due to finances.

[len01]

You can't predict this match,United have been consistent with winning their matches since they came came back from the world cup break. The team is playing good football and will be able to win City when they meet. Eric Ten Hag boys should not be underestimated.

Man city is second in the league and has more advantage in winning due to their good squad of players but it might not be as we think it,because United will need three points in that match. It will be a game of survival of the fittest.

I think nothing is impossible, even Manchester United can win against Manchester City. But otherwise, Manchester City with all its advantages can also beat Manchester United for the title they are chasing. I think the right thing is, Manchester United have improved in form since the Premier League restarted after the World Cup break. That's really good.

I just think Manchester City can contain the increase in Ten Hag's player on January 14, as Manchester City have done in their last 3 meetings againt Manchester United.

Both teams have a chance. Manchester United have been playing very well and keeping more clean sheets at home this season. Going into this game, if they can stop Manchester city from scoring early, then they stand a chance. Manchester city aren’t in a poor form either, they can punish any team that faces them. But since it’s a derby with a team in a good form, I don’t think there will be a lot of goals from them.

Yes both have a chance, also Manchester United will not be as easy to beat like previous match at Etihad, and I think the possibility is a draw. Although my instinct say Manchester City can to win in this match, but seeing Manchester United performance getting better so I doubt it. Haaland still hungry for goals, I think otherwise there will be a lot of goals from them.

Manchester United's performance is currently very good after several times being judged badly by their fans with the defeat they got from before. Manchester United is only 4 points different from Manchester City, this is like a red flag if Manchester City doesn't get points after a match that will be data or loses against MU, Manchester City could be moved by Manchester United in the English league standings later.
I didn't expect Manchester United's performance to really improve after last year's slump.

[Hyphen(-)]

The top four now seems to be very much out of the reach of Chelsea since they lost to Manchester City last night and that’s not the end of their troubles they also lost two players Sterling and Pulsic to injury in the first half.

It is now too late for Chelsea because the top-four race appears to be very difficult for teams such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, who are slightly stronger than Chelsea this season.

Chelsea needs to sign players other than strikers, despite the fact that they lack scoring ability. I believe they also need reinforcement in their midfield, where they lack creativity, which is why they have scored fewer goals this season.

Personally I think they tried, it’s really not easy holding Manchester city with a complete squad now imagine how they would fare with a weaker team. This victory still puts city in the race for the title with Arsenal.

Manchester City is a better team than Chelsea, but if teams like Leeds United can hold the Manchester City draw, I believe Chelsea should as well because they are far better compared to Leeds United.

Nonetheless, the three points have given Manchester City hope, as they have reduced the points gap between themselves and Arsenal to five, making the league more competitive as they have put more pressure on the Arsenal side.
