Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bekti3]

I don't want to leave without mentioning Liverpool. I don't know how much more time we can give this team to recover. They are literally not on the field. Wolverhampton managed to get 3 points with a perfect game. Actually, they could have scored more goals, but they missed a lot of opportunities.

I don't know what the difference is between last year's Liverpool and this year's Liverpool. Sadio Mane has left the team. Nunez was transferred to replace Mane. Apart from this, an important player did not go to another team. The coach is the same person. His tactics are the same this year. However, the team is getting very bad results this year. I looked at Nunez's statistics. He created more positions than Sadio Mane. Yes, he is not as talented a finisher as Sadio Mane, but the change of a single player should not affect the team that much. Why is everything going so badly for them, I wonder too.

I agree with that because indeed one player's substitution should not have too much impact, but the current situation seems to be different. Liverpool are still in the same scheme but the quality of the players this season is like they are under real pressure. Salah still can't do much in attack, Nunez is still difficult in terms of finishing. on the other hand, Van Dijk's defense and Trent Alexander Arnlod have also been underperforming this season in my opinion

[Hyphen(-)]

I didn't expect Nottingham to recover because previously Nottingham was in the relegation zone, but after the World Cup break it looks like Nottingham is looking better by not losing in its last five matches in the Premier League. With good results like this, it seems that Nottingham has a big chance to survive in the Premiere League and of course that is a great achievement because as a promoted team it is not easy to survive in the Premiere League.

Nottingham Forest did not appear to be a relegation team because they have a very good team and a good coach, and they are very strong and ready to stay in the Premier League because if you look at their match results, they only lose points to some big teams and they make sure they get the desired points with the league's average teams, which has really helped them as they are 13th in the Premier League table.

In the next match Nottingham will play away against the promoted team as well and that is Fulham, and Fulham has so far been somewhat better than Nottingham. Even though this is not a big match, I think this match will still be interesting to look forward to.

The match will be difficult because both teams have been promoted and appear to be very strong and ready to stay in the Premier League.

Both teams have had some poor performances in their recent matches, particularly Fulham, which has only won one match in their last five Premier League and FA Cup matches, while Nottingham Forest has won two out of their last two Premier League and Cup matches; as a result, I am expecting a draw in the match because Fulham will be playing at home.

Manchester City were really bad against Tottenham. They even seemed like they were the underdog for a long time. Because Tottenham did a great work there by keeping the match under control for a really good amount of time. Even the goal came thanks to the mistake in Manchester City defense line. Kane is really impressive this season and he was like that in this match as well. He was the man of the match with scoring the winning goal in the end. He was better than Haaland as a result.

Haaland couldn't play like he wanted this time. This was what Tottenham were aiming to do of course. Mahrez got close to scoring in the first half but he wasted the chance.

A bitter defeat, the opportunity to catch up with Arsenal is getting further and further away. In my opinion, Kevin De Bruyne should have been played from the start so that he can provide a good supply of balls to Haaland or Alvarez. But keep up the enthusiasm for Man City, hopefully the next match will win.

I think losing a key player will not be bad for the team as a whole. But after Mane's departure, Liverpool's appearance dropped sharply. I think apart from losing Mane there are other factors that might have contributed. I think Liverpool failed to rejuvenate the team. Indeed, The Kop's management must be shrewd in finding talented young players for the future of the team. We can see together that until now Klopp still relies on most of the old squad in his starting eleven.

This certainly does not have a good impact on the team to compete in elite competition and have a very busy match schedule. In addition, Liverpool's transfer policy in the last two transfer windows was also not quite right. They are too focused on the front lines so that the needs in the midfield which is a very crucial point do not get new ammunition that can be relied on. With conditions like this, I think it will be very difficult for Liverpool to get out of the crisis that is currently hitting them.

Match between Chelsea and westham this week, Chelsea has not been doing well but I don't know why I have this feeling that they are going to win this match, when looking at their previous head to head record Chelsea has been more Victorious than their rivals,

Am sure you know the head to head thing doesn't always stands as history in terms of this sort of records are meant to be challenged and broken if possible and that is what we could witness.
Although, am not sure Chelsea would be willing to let that happen. They won't be looking to share points in this game not with all the big guns they've got on there side from the transfer season. It's time for Graham Potter to show some usefulness of his signings in points and the West Ham United game is probably one place to start. His draw over the weekend didn't mean much and same attitude would be the look towards this game if Chelsea don't close in a win. They need to push up and 3 points.

This defeat is a disappointment because indeed their chance is still very large to reduce the margin, but when they say the actual point difference they are not far away because the difference is still the same as before.
On the other hand it is true that in terms of losing it hurts a little bit for Manchester City but their opponents are also very good in this regard, don't forget Tottenham as if they are going to lose at any moment because they are also a good team but I think in this game we are more focused on Manchester City.

And after that win against Leeds United they finally sacked the Coach
The tactical power from Nothingham Forest coach was great as he blocked the source of Leeds chances creation.
Sergio Aurier came in and stopped the Italian Gnonto from his creativity

[Wiwo]

My feat concerning arsenal is that they shouldn't lose their game again.  Let it not be that the lose to Everton is the beginning of their problem.  I just hope their games should just be the way it has been before they met Everton . Everton really gave Arsenal a tough game .

That is also my fear for Arsenal this season because from the start of the season, Arsenal have been on high alert in all their games and that has built Asernal motivation for a while now, but as this loss has started coming in I don't think Asernal will be able to sustain it competency to stay at the number 1 spot.
*But luck was on Asernal side because Manchester city who was supposed to replace Arsenal's spot also lost their match over the weekend.

Chelsea have what it takes to bounced back to winning ways against Westham united. Hammers are currently ranked 16th on the table while blues are sitting at the 9th position. Really a hard choice to determine who wins the game, because both teams have quality players and their tactics varies. David Moyes held a draw tie in his previous game against Newcastle who are in one of their best form this season, while Graham Potter is yet to make good results from the new signings he made. More time the coach needs before he can adapt to the pattern of the blues.

[minime0105]

Manchester United has been playing an impressive game lately, the team is very good at the moment, if any team is to be regarded as a consistent team that team should be manu because this team has put up a hard work that has made them to qualify for the EFL cup finals and also a major contenders of the English premier league.

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.

I guess you are a Tottenham fan lol, however I agree with you, Antonio Conte seems to have learned a lot from their defeat when they met Man City a few weeks ago, this is proven by the fact that the majority of attacks carried out by Man City can be easily broken by Tottenham. if this positive result can be maintained conte then we will see tottenham can finish in the top 4 until the end of the season.

Nah I’m not a Tottenham fan. I really wasn’t expecting Tottenham to win, after Arsenal lost to Everton I expected that Manchester City will go all out against Tottenham to close up the gap from Arsenal in the league table but City failed to get all three points against Tottenham. Arsenal were fortunate to have benefited this turnaround.

[rendravolt]

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.

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

That's right, all Arsenal supporters would be very happy if Manchester City could be sanctioned with a point deduction and that would allow Arsenal to move freely to secure the EPL title this season. However, even if Manchester City is later sanctioned, it seems that a competitor that is close enough to Arsenal is only Manchester United. We know the performance of the red devils since the season break has been consistent so far, but it also takes luck for Manchester United to be close to Arsenal's points tally and I don't think it will be easy for Erik ten Hag and his players.

[ginsan]

That is also my fear for Arsenal this season because from the start of the season, Arsenal have been on high alert in all their games and that has built Asernal motivation for a while now, but as this loss has started coming in I don't think Asernal will be able to sustain it competency to stay at the number 1 spot.
*But luck was on Asernal side because Manchester city who was supposed to replace Arsenal's spot also lost their match over the weekend.

both of these teams lost the previous week which made the competition interesting again in the week to come. Moreover, Manchester City in the coming weeks will have a busy schedule because they have to face important matches in the Champions League which will make Pep Guardiola have to be able to really save their energy in every game.

the point gap between these two teams is only 5 points apart and arsenal have one game they have yet to play. so that's in the favor of arsenal in the current situation. I hope arsenal can win that game.

[baeva]

Yes, indeed. Manchester City could not beat Tottenham, which in addition received a suspension at the end of the game in his team and had weak statistics throughout the game. Manchester City dominated both attacks and possession of the ball, but... In general, the situation is essentially the same for Arsenal as for Manchester City.

Manchester City's match against Tottenham was very exciting but this was a nightmare for Manchester City fans because they had to accept a very painful defeat, only one goal difference and Manchester City were unable to catch up, Erling Haaland could not move freely and had difficulty scoring goals because it is strictly guarded by Tottenham players.

Yes, I watched the match and saw that every time Manchester City's attack ended in failure by their own mistakes. The next match is against Aston Villa, I do not know how it will end, but it will be a test match before one of the important matches - against the leader of the standings, with whom they are currently competing. For Arsenal and Manchester City these are really important games, which may determine the fate of the championship (potential, but still)

[AakZaki]

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.

Tottenham players seem to have learned to lock in Haaland. If it can't grab the ball then drop the person. It seems that this tactic is deliberately carried out by Man city. There were several tackles made to stop Haaland. It proved to be a success and Tottenham managed to get 3 points. In addition, Man City's game of using short build-ups was overcome by the tight pressing of Tottenham's players. So Man city are not free to give passes. Then Rodri's error gave a direct pass taken advantage of by Hojbjreg.

[Wiwo]

the point gap between these two teams is only 5 points apart and arsenal have one game they have yet to play. so that's in the favor of arsenal in the current situation. I hope Arsenal can win that game.

The competition is at it intense stage right now and most of the clubs that lost their games the previous weekend will be doing everything possible to take back their position,  this is something that is most expected of them mostly Manchester city because Asernal is still the number one so remaining that position is easier than taking over if Manchester city ever wants to claim that position back.
*last season, Manchester city dominated the front line in the league table all throughout, but this season things are different and Asernal has a better chance compared to man city presently.

[Minecache]

I honestly don't think any other team is going to win the English Premier League title this season other than Arsenal. Manchester City is too engaged in the Champions League. And the other teams are just not close enough to Arsenal to give them consistent pressure for the title. I feel like Arsenal is going to win the title this time. Unless of course Arsenal starts losing and Manchester City start winning. I am not saying that cannot happen. That obviously can happen, but that is more possible than probable .

[Dewi Aries]

Haha this is an unlucky day for Manchester City I see their game is different from usual but yes sometimes things like this can happen
and now Arsenal can be calmer and more comfortable because Manchester City failed to get a point at least the first rank is still safe.

[Velvet78]

There is a Manchester United - Leeds game in two days. This is a postponed game for these teams. This means that the Red Devils have a chance to equalize the points with Manchester City.

They are very likely to do so as well because I don't see Leeds as a big obstacle for them honestly. Leeds are still an out-of-form team and a team that is under the danger of relegation. They are out of the zone maybe but they are right above it. Manchester United show a really solid performance these days. They should be able to maintain it here.

[Coyster]

Unless of course Arsenal starts losing and Manchester City start winning. I am not saying that cannot happen. That obviously can happen, but that is more possible than probable .

Manchester City's problem isn't that they are engaged in the CL, the CL group stage was over a very long time ago, City didn't even have a great CL group stage, but notwithstanding, they have been off CL duties for many months, and the CL doesn't restart until later this month, thus i can't even make that as an excuse for City. There seems to be something wrong with City, even with Pep's team selections, leaving out key players like De Bruyne, Laporte, Diaz, Foden, etc, and even the decision to let Cancelo go, it all seems so weird. City problems have even been compounded today as they have been charged by the EPL for alleged breach of the FFP rules, this is really going to affect City's performances. It might just be that season for City, were they don't win anything.
