Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Polkeins]

I would have never expected Manchester City to be that weak at defending. This was what Tottenham wanted from this game. Kane scored thanks to one of the weaknesses in their defense for example.

Manchester City still could have relied on their attacking performance but there wasn't too much in that as well. I mean the number of absolute goal chances wasn't too high. They missed a big opportunity to close up the gap with Arsenal a little more. I still think Arsenal are the most deserving team when it comes to the league title. Because Manchester City can't make use of the chances.

In general before the match bookmakers were giving 4.5 to win Tottenham which seems to me unreasonably high odds, considering the fact that the previous 4 games Tottenham beat City at home. Plus Tottenham have Kane and Son, players who can take a moment and decide the whole game, which is what happened in the end.

I think, like all the bookmakers, relied on Manchester City's main strength, an excellent offense and creative midfield and also thought that even if Tottenham scored, Manchester City would certainly be able to score more. Haaland was obviously not in his best form, Grealish tried in general, well done, but he was not worth 115 million, for whatever reason they took away Marez, the most dangerous player for Manchester City at that time. 

In general Manchester City had a strange match, as if they wanted to win without making any effort.

Manchester city didn't profit from arsenal lose against Everton and they also lost against Tottenham with 1 goal scored in the first half by hare kane, arsenal fans are for sure very happy with this result and the club but in my opinion the situation had to be better if the club was more efficient against Everton, if the won the match the gap would be 8 points - 1 to arsenal which will make the situation easier for theme

As a result of not being able to take advantage of opportunities for Arsenal failure to win over Everton, Manchester City also failed to stick to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Still very haunted for Manchester City, so far The Cityzen has always failed to pick up points and has also been unable to score goals in the last four matches.

Tottenham managed to take advantage of playing at home and the tactical mistakes carried by Guardiola to get full points. Guardiola decision not to include Kevin De Bruyne name in the main squad made Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez lack bait support on the front lines, as a result Manchester City were unable to score a goal in this match.

[omgitsmehehe]

One of Tottenham Hotspur's most talented strikers, Harry Kane, scored the game-winning goal against Manchester City. The two rivals' losses are quite acceptable since City missed their opportunities to cut the deficit to two points behind Arsenal, who actually lost to the Toffees yesterday at Goodison Park. Harry is keeping Spurs' hopes of qualifying for the UEFA spot alive, which is a memorable moment for the Englishman on the field. Cristian stellini, who was playing as Antonio Conte's representative, also had a happy expression on his face.

I didn't even know that Tottenham was able to beat Manchester City a couple of times now in home games. But that goes to show that Tottenham can never be underestimated. With a striker like Harry Kane they know that they are able to score a goal at any moment in the game. He is strong and versatile, can score after free kicks and corners but also in very dynamic situations.
It is hard to believe when Manchester City can't score a single goal during the game given that they have the most dangerous striker in the world. But Haaland is also just human and ultimately also depends on his teammates to create chances for him.

[m2017]

What a nightmare for Guardiola, is he even good anymore?
He won everything with Messi, and now he not winning with billions spent in the market.

If Arsenal will win the missing game they will be almost unstoppable with an advantage of 8.

it was Man city's chance today to get closer to Arsenal, but they fumbled the bag, Tottenham wants to play in the Champions League next season, and they scored from very few chances and let Man City take the ball and couldn't do anything but miss, what a golden chance Man City missed today to catch up with Arsenal.

Maybe we should say it wasn't meant to happen. I knew Tottenham will not accept a second defeat from Manchester City after the horrible humiliation at Etihad. It was so saddening to watch Tottenham score two goals in the first half and then lose 2-4 at the end of the match. It was the right moment to make Manchester city pay and I'm happy it happened. if they wish to cover the pace with Arsenal, They will have to fight hard in their subsequent matches.

It was a great revenge from Tottenham and the fans of this team are delighted with what happened. And also, this match turned out to be spectacular for connoisseurs of English football.

There was a strange tendency for the two main favorites to lose in recent matches. An unfortunate mistake by Arsenal, which could have reduced the gap, was compensated by the same defeat of M.City. This is an amazing gift of fate for Arsenal, but for M.City - a failure. Since now M.U. breathes down their backs and can even remove M.City from their second place. As you rightly said, M.City will need to fight desperately with all their might to maintain their position in the league.

Manchester City lost against Tottenham Hotspur on the road. One of City's worst games because Pep Guardiola was hoping to catch Mikel Arteta, who ended up losing to Sean Dyche. The weekend's Premier League activity was undoubtedly one of the worst for major clubs, who lost all three points. Liverpool lost, City lost, and Arsenal lost. A very unfortunate start for the Reds, who are aiming to finish in the top four, but Jurgen Klopp's plans are not going as he had hoped. In terms of points on the board, Manchester United and City are pretty close.

[Blitzboy]

The match was unexpected, with many people surprised by how Tottenham beat Manchester City and denied them three points in today's match. After Arsenal's loss to Everton, we all expected Manchester City to perform better in today's match, but that never happened. On the other hand, Arsenal is fortunate to still have a 5 point lead over Manchester City; if they do not improve in their upcoming games and continue to win matches, Manchester City may overtake them in the league title race.

It is not the first time that Man City is defeated by Tottenham. So, I don't think it is very surprising. Everyone must remember that Tottenham always makes Man City difficult to get points.  

We know that Man City really wants to win this match to overtake Arsenal. But they failed to get points in this important match, so no change in the point gap. I think Man City is too obsessed to get 3 points and loses focus on the match. So, they only made many shot attempts but they have no accuracy in scoring. It is a big lesson, Man City must stay focused on the match.

You and I both agree that it is not at all shocking that Man City lost to Tottenham. Tottenham has always been a difficult opponent for Man City and has previously caused them trouble. But I have to admit, recently it seems like a lot has changed at Man City.

According to what I saw throughout the game, it seems that the players are more concerned with scoring on their own than with cooperating as a team. This team's performance is suffering this season, in my opinion, as a result of the degree of selfishness that is present on the field. Not only did Man City lose to Tottenham, but they have also been performing poorly lately.

If Guardiola wants to make things better, he has a lot of work to do. For the sake of the team, he must urge his players to cooperate and support one another. It will be very difficult for them to win any trophies this season if they continue to play alone. Man City must unite as a unit and put in their best effort in the remaining games.

[Despairo]

Manchester City is really unlucky in this match, Mahrez's shot hit the pole while Alvarez's shot hit Dier's knee, if not it would be 2-1 favor on Manchester City. Tottenham doesn't create any good chance except the first one where scored by Harry Kane. This might be the first time where Haaland doesn't shot at least 1 ball in Premier League, Tottenham's midfielder and defenders are successfully stop Haaland for getting chance to have a ball.

After all Haaland is the better in making decision among the other Manchester City's strikers.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

~Snip~Then Thiago and Henderson in midfield who struggled with injuries too often.
Gakpo and Nunez have not even been at Anfield for a season and it is still very possible that they need time. These are not classic reasons to justify Liverpool's current condition.
The most likely thing in my opinion the cause of Liverpool's poor condition lies in the management in managing the club.

Apart from Diaz, Thiago and Henderson who often struggle with injuries, Sadio Mane's departure to Bayern Munic has made Liverpool very chaotic this season, even Liverpool have been unable to keep up with bottom clubs like Wanderers and mid-table clubs Brighton and Brentford. I don't see the management being wrong in managing the club, because last season they also had the same management, the most realistic is the policy of releasing and buying players.

Let's forget about Liverpool for a moment because it's not so interesting for us to discuss, this week there is a surprise coming at a top-flight club, where Arsenal lost to Everton and Manchester City lost to Tottenham, how to analyze the club's defeat, will it affect the next game for Arsenal and Manchester City? because now the competition in the Premier League is getting tougher to fight for the title.

[Silence Scream]

Therefore, Guardiola seems to have tough homework for the rest of the season by getting his players to play as team supporting each other for team achievements. They won't be able to win any titles this season if their performance drops, and it's absolutely difficult to win any titles if they can't beat top teams like Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Arsenal lost their last match against Everton and dropped points. Manchester City now had an easy chance to win their last match and close the points gap with Arsenal. But Manchester City could not take advantage of this opportunity. They lost 1-0 against Tottenham. They won the home match against Tottenham 4-2. But they lost in the away match. Guardiola may not have done his homework properly. He should have stopped Harry Kane at all costs. Manchester City had to lose because of the mistakes of the defenders. And City is still 8 points behind Arsenal.

Manchester City missed a great opportunity.  Manchester City should have beaten Tottenham in the week Arsenal lost points, but they lost 1-0 at the end of the match.  In this way, the point gap still remains the same and Manchester United and Tottenham, who closed this week with 3 points, gained an advantage.

City was not lucky enough in the match against totenham. Many changes have been missed by manchester city. it seems like that city shall try to do another experiment again. Haaland did nothing in the match against totenham.
Bernardo silva has been trying some long shots but these shots didn't have strong power. Congratulation to totenham to get full points from manchester city. I would like to see the match between totenham against a team that was also getting horrible performances in serie a (ac milan). That's gonna be a though game for sure.

With City's misfortune because they missed several chances they had in that match made  Arsenal who cheered, this was probably the match that Arsenal had been really looking forward to because losing to Everton made City have the opportunity to get closer in point difference but unfortunately City could not win.

Manchester City missed a great opportunity.  Manchester City should have beaten Tottenham in the week Arsenal lost points, but they lost 1-0 at the end of the match.  In this way, the point gap still remains the same and Manchester United and Tottenham, who closed this week with 3 points, gained an advantage.

As a result of Manchester City's defeat to Tottenham, now the point gap between Tottenham and Newcastle is very thin. Likewise, the gap in points between Manchester United and Manchester City is no longer far away, so this is starting to open up opportunities again for Arsenal in terms of closing the gap with Manchester City this weekend because Arsenal still haven't played for the 21st time this season.

There will be a chance to increase the point gap for Arsenal after playing their missing match. Unlucky they suffered a surprise defeat to Everton. If they had won this match, I could say that the champion for the Premier league was almost clear. Manchester City still has possibilities. Arsenal could not turn their defeat into an opportunity and we can say that they lost 6 points by losing to Tottenham. The points they give to their opponents will return them as a disadvantage.

You can't win every game, especially in the Premier League, where there are a lot of good teams. Despite everything, Tottenham still managed to win and I can’t say that City dominated, the game was approximately equal. City often concede first, perhaps this is because they immediately run on the attack and focus on this, but as we see in recent matches, they don’t score very much, it’s bad if the team relies only on Haaland.

[aylabadia05]

The red card received by Casemiro made the Old Trafford public a little disappointed because the Brazilian midfielder was needed by Erik ten Hag as a midfield balancer. But it doesn't matter too much considering the next match the opponent Manchester United will face is Leeds United who are not in good condition.

It is clear that the victory against Crystal Palace is the most valuable victory for the Old Trafford public because it can stab Newcastle United in the standings.
Now Manchester United need consistency in every match to be played and tonight only need the team above them to slip against Tottenham to get closer.

Ten Hag has a serious selection dilemma following Casemiro’s red card. He could be out for the games against Leeds and Leicester city, both of which are tricky. With Erickson and Scot McTomminay also not available, Ten hag has only Fred and Sabitzer as his senior midfielder choice. Although United are looking to appeal the red on the case of wrong dismissal and if they submit the case and get it overturned then we might see Casemiro starting the Leeds game in the mid week

Manchester United's appeal regarding the incident in the corner of the field that caused Casemiro to be sent off because from the referee's point of view after seeing the VAR screen that he choked Will Hunges is likely to be carried out by Erik ten Hag.
Some former players who have played in the PL also commented on referee Andre Marriner's decision which was considered too harsh.
Reference

The injuries to Eriksen and McTominay made Erik ten Hag a little confused in arranging the midfield for the next match considering Casemiro is a pretty good midfield balancing figure so far owned by ten Hag, but ETH still has Marcel Sabitzer who will fill the position left by Casemiro considering the next opponent is Leeds United.

Arsenal have an opportunity to secure their first position with a missing match. If they win it, they will expand the gap against Manchester City to 8 points that are so good for them. 8 points will reduce pressure on their shoulders but will increase pressure on Manchester City. Their opponent will feel the pressure that if they fail one more match, the difference can become 11 points. Playing under pressure like this can cause poor performance from Manchester City.

It is especially stressful with Champions League return in February and at that time, Manchester City will likely lose more points with a distraction for Champions League. Arsenal will have good time to make their first position more safely.

The two most important players in Manchester United's squad at the moment are McTominay and Eriksen. Manchester United will not be able to perform normally if these two players are not on the team due to injury. Manchester United will play against Leeds in two matches and against Barcelona in a Europa League match. If the squad is not stable, United will not be able to win. Despite playing well against Leeds, United will definitely need a full-strength squad to win against Barcelona.

Arsenal are still benefiting greatly from Manchester City's defeat last night, meaning that with the remaining matches for Arsenal continuing to win, this clearly widens their points gap before facing Manchester City as the first match of the season.
Actually Manchester City still have time to finish the game with Arsenal and see the results later while the gap in the Champions League match is 1 week after their match but still the Premier League schedule is very tight so this will drain their stamina especially while thinking about the Champions League match against Leipzig.

[shinratensei_]

Manchester City missed a great opportunity.  Manchester City should have beaten Tottenham in the week Arsenal lost points, but they lost 1-0 at the end of the match.  In this way, the point gap still remains the same and Manchester United and Tottenham, who closed this week with 3 points, gained an advantage.

So many chances unable being converted into goals by manchester city's players. Arsenal is very lucky this week. So many big clubs were facing the same problems as these clubs were losing against small clubs. Even arsenal was losing against everton which was making so many people feel surprised with it. It's very sad to say that city was unable to cut points to the arsenal. I hope that before if city would win and be able to cut points to be around 2 points.
I hope that pep will do something to save its club from compete with arsenal to get trophy.
