Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[kawetsriyanto]

~~
And both teams have named very strong sides for tonight's match up. It is definitely not as important as an EPL clash between the two teams, but it is still a very important fixture. Hopefully Zinchenko would get some minutes in against his former side and we the fans would get an amazing game of football on our hands,

Sure. This match isn't as big as the EPL matches, but Arsenal and Man City still try to give their best in this match. We can see that both Arsenal and Man City release almost their top players in the lineups, I'm a bit surprised that both of them let their main strikers play. They only rest their main goalkeepers and some defenders. Well, it indicates that they are very serious to win this match, they consider the title of FA Cup important, too.

By the way, not only Zinchenko, I also hope Martin Ødegaard, Ben White, or William Saliba to play as well. If Arsenal cannot get enough chances to make goals, Arteta needs to consider releasing other main players to play in the second half. Man City looks very serious to play, Arteta needs to be more careful and doesn't underestimate them.

Manchester city and Arsenal locks horn again in this magnificent encounter in the Fa cup. Honestly I am not hyped about this match.
 
Well I have my money on Arsenal in this match I honestly feel they want it more than Manchester City and they have all it takes to get it.

The first half was in training mode, both teams either did not immediately show all their trump cards or are not going to do this at all
However, Arsenal have had a couple of chances while City haven't created anything and by the way, Haaland is still nowhere to be seen on the pitch. On the other hand, it takes him 5 seconds to take advantage of the opportunity to get his name on the score sheet.

Yes the first half ended that I thought was less attractive and aggressive maybe both teams play more carefully this time
I know the two teams are targeting to win because in fact they play the main squad this means that this fight is an important match
Previously I placed a bet on both teams to score yes unfortunately there hasn't been a goal so far still waiting in the 2nd round.

Manchester city is playing the same pattern of football as Real Madrid this season, they may have not put the best foot forward in this first half, but they're going to make every possible attempt to make a goal score in the second half and if Asernal does not close their defence in the second half any attempt from Manchester city will become a possible goal. But I doubt if there are going to be multiple goals in the match as both clubs are well-prepared for thos games tonight.

William Saliba and Albert Sambi Lokonga were played in the second half but I think they needed more substitutions during the second half where Martinelli and Odegaard deserved to be paly. Manchester City are very serious in this match by playing all their best players, but they also haven't been able to score goals until now. Some good chances created in the first and second half but I think they will succeed in the second half.

The score is still 0-0, the match is getting more interesting.

The match was very monotonous for a big match like it was because very few opportunities were created in this match.
But indeed this is quite reasonable because maybe this is also not a match that is actually their target because this competition is not a priority it seems for the two teams competing.
So far there have only been a few opportunities created and this seems very boring to watch.

Not sure there will be many goals in this match considering that the two teams are equally strong in their defense. I saw the game in the second half relatively both teams continued to provide more interesting resistance in buying and selling attacks. pep guardiola may slightly change the scheme in this match in the second half. Manchester city is still trying to be able to win this match in front of its own supporters, it's just that Arsenal are very strong from the early minutes which can make this match even more interesting.

  I think a thin score will be the final result in this fight, even though a draw is still a big chance. Erling Haaland got quite tight guard from the arsenal defense line, I saw him several times fail to develop his game because of the dense defense that was carried out by Arsenal.

Edit : 1-0 for manchester city advantage

So far the game have been a little bit boring and calm tonight, I expected a more intense and entertaining game but both teams didn't start their usual first eleven players. I must admit that I was a little surprised by the selection but I'm happy to see Arteta trusting his second options to deliver today, surely this will also build their confidence.

Yeah the second half just started a few minutes ago and Manchester city made very good use of their first chances and was able to convert the chance into goal score and at the moment Asenal players are trying to get their balance to be able to relock the defence and possible push forward to equalize the goal if possible.
-But Manchester city on the other hand is ready to walk away with this one goal score if possible but let's see what the outcome of this match will be.

That's because Arsenal know who Haaland is, so it's mandatory for the defense to guard him closely. Several times Haaland was able to get away from the defenders' siege, but fortunately Matt Turner managed to cut his movement quickly by going out of the goal. Haaland is very likely to score if not heavily marked, but he struggled in this game because Arsenal know what they have to do.

Edit : 1-0 for manchester city advantage  

Well now Arsenal really know what they are doing since going 1-0 down to Manchester City. Odegaard, Martinelli and Zinchenko played, but it seems increasingly difficult to expect Manchester City to make mistakes.

It's not a real match but indeed there is always a second layer to a match in the FA Cup but for me it's not boring it's quite interesting to see how Arsenal are 1 goal down but still put pressure on Manchester City but domination of the game in general the hosts always dominate.
The betting odds here Arsenal is quite big but in reality we have to admit Manchester city's advantage here but with the second layer being lowered they will be more focused on other matches and actually we want to see in the middle of the month they meet in the Premier League.

I feel arteta is just being cautious not to have any unnecessary injuries to his first team players as this is a cup match and there main priority will be on winning the league title. Arteta and his boys have played excellently in this season and having unwanted injuries in the squad might just change the whole atmosphere in the title race this season. I expected this game to be very dull because the two teams are all in the race for the league title and would not be looking to start the game with their first team squad.

[RILWAN]

Well at this point the match has become more boring and the two clubs have been playing around with a lack of commitment but Manchester city made a mark when their hard opportunities and if this continues the club may add another score.

[baeva]

this is the match I'm waiting for as a Manchester City supporter of course I want Arsenal to play with a full squad so that this match will be great to watch later, of course I bet on Manchester City hoping Arsenal will play well against Manchester City later  

I think that either teams will be playing with the full squads. The result from this match is really important for any of them. Manchester city wants trophy and arsenal too. my focus was on the match between city against arsenal. if city can win the match against arsenal and city will get easy way to win FA cup. Arsenal must be careful with city in EPL. This is the hottest match this week. I can't wait to see that how both will be attacking each other. that will become a beautiful match for sure.

Looking at the current line-up, they displayed some of their core players and the others were reserve players, like at Manchester City there were no Ederson, Cancelo and Alvarez names because they only kept Haaland as their only target with a 4-2-3-1 formation and for Arsenal at the moment there is no Odegaard as their captain. Martineli, Zinchenko and Ramsdale are also rested but we will see Trossard debut in this game.

If Arsenal can win in this match then obviously it is a very perfect result and also, Arsenal will be a team that has a big chance to win the title. Because in the previous two matches Arsenal managed to beat Tottenham and also Manchester United, it was clear that these were not easy matches.
What's more, Arsenal are currently playing against Manchester City, of course Manchester City is a great team, so if Arsenal can get rid of Manchester City in this match then Arsenal will be the best team this season, of course.

And not only that. It will also make it clear to all teams that Arsenal are worthy to win this season, that they were not just lucky throughout the season, but that they are a really strong team and ready to face even Manchester City. True, this "derby" is still at least two weeks away, so both teams have time to prepare and analyze the opponent, because Arsenal needs only a win

[Velvet78]

It was nice to watch Manchester City and Arsenal facing each other for the first time in this season.

I can't say that Manchester City were too dominant. There was a good balance mostly but it was more in favour of Manchester City in the second half especially. Thanks to Ake's goal they won by 1-0 and eliminated Arsenal in the FA Cup. I was giving Arsenal also to advance to next round. But Manchester City did a good job about keeping them away from a goal. We watched Trossard also in this game by the way. Arteta wanted to see him playing right away.

I expected this game to be very dull because the two teams are all in the race for the league title and would not be looking to start the game with their first team squad.

The game has just ended and Manchester City were only able to score one goal to bring them to victory in this game over Arsenal in the FA Cup match. This was quite a match which was not quite boring to watch as possession was pretty much even for both teams although Arsenal were unable to score to make this game a draw. But Arsenal also don't have to feel embarrassed if they only narrowly lose at home to Manchester City in this FA Cup match.

Well I have my money on Arsenal in this match I honestly feel they want it more than Manchester City and they have all it takes to get it.

And now Arsenal is lost 1-0 to Man City in the full-time. Isn't Arsenal so excited about this match that he's late to play one of his key players? But it is possible that this is not their main goal. Man City itself is not a small club, so, it is quite difficult to Arsenal to catch up score and end in defeat.

No, both teams play the main squad you can check the lineup the mainstay player is on a line like Haaland, De Bruyne and Grealish
The match looks balanced it's just that luck is not on Arsenal side they have to admit Manchester City's victory today although only losing 1 goal
Maybe this is better for Arsenal so they can focus more on competing in the Premier League.

[LGD2Business]

I think FA Cup is unnecessary. Manchester City can take FA Cup. Let Arsenal be the champion. It's better for Arsenal to focus on the league completely rather than stalling with the cup and confusing them. As a result, they shouldn't distract with other things when they are so close to the championship after all these years.
Manchester City has the best squad depth in the league. This was very clear again. Arsenal doesn't have such a deep squad, their bench players are not so good quality. I find this result normal.
