Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

a few days ago, I wrote that the Everton vs Arsenal and Tottenham vs Manchester city matches would be tough enough for the top two in the table, I didn't imagine Arsenal would lose! it was more feasible instead that Tottenham had won, as far as the championship is concerned, it remains open given the losses of Arsenal and Manchester city

I was also quite surprised because the two teams ranked 1st and 2nd had to suffer almost the same defeat. even with the same score which is 1-0. And of course the most surprising is Everton. they were able to keep their defense under pressure from the Arsenal attack. and Everton are also quite good at counter-attacking so quickly. and I don't think even Arsenal expected a result like this.

I agree with you, and I guess they would even have an easy win against Leeds because Man United is in great form. Casemiro's absence would be a way for Marcel Sabitzer to play and be a starter.

Man United are favourites to win. They are in a good mental state. But underestimating Leeds is a mistake. Ten Hag has to play its best players to keep winning and get 3 points. Casemiro's absence shouldn't be a problem, Ten Hag can implement a different strategy. Or shift Bruno more to the middle with Eriksen.

Manchester city has been charged with over 100 counts of breach of financial statements by the English Premier League over a 9-year period and they will likely be sanctioned with points deductions or even expulsion from the English Premier League if found guilty. It is very surprising that so far Manchester City has been a good club and has no problems, but this will have a significant impact on all parties involved in Manchester City.

After Juventus? Let's wait for the final result. Does this include regarding player transfers? Interesting if this happens. It looks like the case is going to get bigger and I'm sure the investigation is not only for Man City but it will expand to many other teams. Especially a large team with large expenses.

It is very surprising that so far Manchester City has been a good club and has no problems, but this will have a significant impact on all parties involved in Manchester City.

I will follow this news, of course, if it is true that Manchester City is proven to have violated, of course it will be detrimental to Manchester City if there is a point deduction, let alone leaving the English Premier League, but it looks like this will go through a long investigation, so wait for other updates

It's true that with the Sabitzer option I won't be too worried about Manchester United performance against Leeds later. After all, Sabitzer quality was quite visible when he played at Bayern Munich. His status is still as a loan player, but if in the end he succeeds in gaining Erik Ten Hag trust, maybe his contract will enter the permanent player stage.

Despite Arsenal unfavorable week, it's a shame that Manchester City actually wasted the opportunity to reduce the arrears. Arteta and the Arsenal players must keep their minds under control because, for the first time, Dyche has been able to lure Arteta's troops into a mental trap for the first time. You need to be aware that the mid-season is quite vulnerable for Arteta and his troops.

A four-year investigation by the Premier League led to Manchester City having numerous alleged financial breaches between 2009 and 2018. There are 143 charges against them altogether, according to what I read. I'm interested to see how this unfolds and how Man City's situation turns out. We hope that the situation will be resolved fairly and justly for all parties.

I also hope the FA doesn’t get biased on this because we all saw two season ago how Derby county got 25 points reduction. 100+ charges are way too big and the worst part is City can’t appeal to any court of arbitration base on premier league rule. They could even get some trophies rescinded. There is also an option that they will only face fines or a one year transfer ban, we all know how this big clubs get away with things.

This is also a warning to Chelsea to be watchful of their transfer dealings

Let's wait for the result of the investigation. Im sure that arsenal fans are hoping city to be sanctioned caused of what has already been done by city. Points deductions seems to be a sanction that will be waiting by arsenal fans. It will make arsenal has not competitor that will able to be closer with arsenal. Arsenal will actually win the trophy. I have been hearing so many rumor about this. I remember that city was always getting problems caused by its being dishonest with the financial report.
that will become a boomerang for city. That will be so bad for city if the club

This will sound like good news to Arsenal if they should slash their point by 10, it will be impossible to catch up and a room for Tottenham to step up to the top 4, however, if at the end of the day, they are been remove from Premier League, I will say it is fair because law and rules are there to be followed and not broken and this is not the first time they have been fine by the Premier League. Had it been it was their player who is guilty of breaking their contract, it will be hell on that player because he will be brought to justice.

Come to think of it, 100 counts of charges, if they are found guilty, then there is more than meets the eye from these clubs, there is insider corruption we don't see, this is clearly an example of a beautiful face but black heart from Manchester City.

[Bananington]

They usually say when it is meant to be your turn, nothing can really stop it. This season it is very obvious that the premier league is Arsenal's and with this point deduction that Manchester City the closest English team to being a challenge for the league, If these points get deducted Arsenal will be safe but still not out of the reach of Manchester United and Newcastle. For players like Halaand who just joined Manchester United and was really hoping that this season, his first season with the club will be same season he wins the league and record of highest goal scorer with Manchester city, will have to wait for another season for them to try again. If these points get deducted, the focus of Manchester city management will be to be able to still qualify for the champions league next season, that is by still finishing top four this season.

Casemiro's absence shouldn't be a problem, Ten Hag can implement a different strategy. Or shift Bruno more to the middle with Eriksen.

I don't think Ten Hag will ever think of underestimating whoever the opponent they will face, and for sure he will play his best squad (except for those who must be absent) because Man United is slowly getting into the title race and Ten Hag definitely wants to show that the Man United squad is in the right hands.

Man United has an 8 point difference with Arsenal and of course, it will not be easy to catch up with it (moreover Arsenal has one game less than Man United). But in football, anything can happen, so as long as the opportunity exists, Man United must keep trying their best.

Arsenal should have won the game over Everton. it's just that, Sean Dyche knows very well that his team will not be able to fight Arsenal with an open game. which in the end, as usual Sean Dyche used the bus parking formation with a 4-5-1 pattern. although Arsenal had several opportunities, the tight line of defense from Everton made it difficult for the Gunners' young squad to take advantage of every opportunity they had. as a result, Sean Dyche achieved maximum results with Everton in his first debut.

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola's squad should be able to overthrow the Spurs, who in fact City controlled the game with 65% ball possession. but it cannot be denied, that Tottenham showed a high discipline game even though they tended to play hard. With this result, Arsenal benefited from the defeat of City, who are still five points adrift in the Premier League standings. so the meeting between these two teams, in the Premier League will be even more interesting.

[Pokapoka124]

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.

tottenham played very well and were careful, they deserved a narrow 1-0 win against man city. btw newcastle failed to maintain their position in the top 3 because they had to be held to a draw by west ham, but I salute newcastle, they managed to be in the top 5 even though there were no expensive player purchases, it seems Howe is a good coach.

It seems to me Antonio Conte has become comfortable playing against Guardiola. Tottenham seems to have found the secret to beating Manchester City, the first leg meeting started in same fashion but Tottenham lost focus and couldn't secure their two goal lead but the learnt their lessons and completed the job perfectly this time. Thanks to Tottenham Arsenal maintains their 5 points lead.

[Frankolala]

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.

Everything is working good for arsenal after they lost to Everton,  arsenal is very lucky and should never allow what happened in the last game against Everton to happen again because if they keep on losing their games they will find it difficult to win Premier league this season. I never believed a team like Everton could win arsenal.

Arsenal still have the advantage of winning the league if they can continue with their winning strategy. Losing 1-0 to Everton wasn't good but they were lucky that Man city also lost their game which kept the point different the same. Manchester city has the advantage to narrow this gap but they were reluctant to do so.

Man United are favourites to win. They are in a good mental state. But underestimating Leeds is a mistake. Ten Hag has to play its best players to keep winning and get 3 points. Casemiro's absence shouldn't be a problem, Ten Hag can implement a different strategy. Or shift Bruno more to the middle with Eriksen.

Manchester united are in their super form and shouldn't be worried about their game against leed. The game will be an additional three point to Manchester united points so that they can keep moving up,if possible catch up with Manchester city. Casemiro absence shouldn't be a problem, since Eric Tan Hag would bring a good replacement to cover up his wing.

They still had good luck when Manchester City had to lose to Tottenham because 5 points even if they won 1 match clearly still secured the position for now.
Otherwise it's not very good for Manchester City if they are still like this, because regardless of anything they need points but when the momentum comes they let it go.

They didn't need to lie, they could have avoided breaking the rules but they didn't. I can't help but wonder why? Still I know that external bodies cannot claim innocence. They were aware that this was taking place, yet despite this, all of the legitimate clubs have lost championships to this club. Will clubs like Liverpool and others who lost to city be rewarded if city did, in fact, defeat them to the title three times by one point? Cheating has no place in sports.

[Coyster]

Thanks to Tottenham Arsenal maintains their 5 points lead.

Well, that's the biggest regret for Pep Guardiola and all of Manchester City fans, the League Leaders had already lost to Everton a day before, so it was an opportunity for City to go within two points of Arsenal. More frustration for Pep and City, and i am pretty sure they would be kicking themselves for not capitalizing on the opportunity that presented itself.

Having said that, City have been charged by the Premier League FA today for FFP reasons, and i don't know how this will affect their push to retain their premier league title, most times off the field issues like this can affect the players performances. Arsenal have the advantage at this moment, and i think they are ready to go all the way. Maybe City should prolly concentrate on winning the CL this season.

I think it's due to the burden they're carrying, yes I mean they've seen Arsenal lose to Everton, and that makes them even more ambitious to win against Tottenham. When circumstances like that will be a negative or positive impact on their ambitions. If they can be more motivated it will be a positive impact, but if they are even burdened then it will be a negative impact.

Even though it is uncertain whether Manchester United will defeat LEEDS, they shouldn't undervalue them in the same way that Man City undervalued Tottenham. If it is the truth, Manchester United is currently in form, but don't be surprised to see the game end in a draw or with Leeds winning 1:0, similar to how it did between City and Tottenham. Games are getting more difficult to anticipate.

The point gap between Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the standings is five points while the Premier League matches are still ongoing so there will probably still be opportunities for Manchester City to try to take first place and try to get wins in every game, Manchester City will not let go of its position easily and Arsenal must continue to concentrate on maintaining its position, which still has the potential to be taken by Manchester City.

Thanks to Tottenham Arsenal maintains their 5 points lead.

The game was difficult for Guardiola and for Conte, because Tottenham, after scoring a goal, created almost nothing truly dangerous at the City gate. And just a few days ago, City scored them 4 goals in the second half, so it's hard to talk about a comfortable game for Conte against Guardiola.

Well, that's the biggest regret for Pep Guardiola and all of Manchester City fans, the League Leaders had already lost to Everton a day before, so it was an opportunity for City to go within two points of Arsenal.

This investigation has been going on for many years and it could affect the players if City are stripped of points. The situation is already complicated, and if sanctions are applied to them now, then points will deducted and transfers are banned, then this will be just a gift for the Arsenal. In addition, depending on how many points can be taken away, it will depend on whether City can play in the Champions League next year. Maybe it's too early to talk about it, but recently Juventus have already felt it for themselves.
