Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[herurist]

For Manchester United there is no need to try to be at the top of the standings, because if Manchester United targets to be title winners then they will have more difficult pressure. What's more, Manchester United this season has just gotten up with its new coach, so Manchester United doesn't need to target being able to take over Arsenal's position.

Because, with Manchester United being able to be consistent in staying in the top four until the end of the season, of course that is good enough. Therefore, when Manchester United can consistently get good results in every match, then this can also bring him closer to Arsenal.

That's true, of course. Manchester United aims to win their game to maintain their top position. Well, if you look at the points difference between the teams ahead of them, you will see that Manchester City is ahead of them by two points, while Arsenal is ahead of Manchester United by seven points. Although anything is bound to happen in football. Who knows what will happen next?

Arsenal and Manchester City are the league's top two teams this season. They are the ones under the most pressure to prevail in their games to enable any of them to lift the 2022/2023 year  trophy

I'm not sure what will happen to Manchester City if they are found guilty of the FIFA charge. Whether their premier league points will be deducted or not

In this condition the number of matches played must also be considered.
Currently Manchester United has played 22 matches but it is different from other clubs which are still 21 matches even Arsenal are still 20 matches.
This is also the real determinant, especially with the current conditions, if Newcastle wins 3 points and doesn't get another draw, then their position will automatically be replaced.

[SatoPrincess]

After dropping points, Manchester United distracts from the title race once again. After going down two goals to Leeds, Manchester United fought back to draw! Therefore, I wouldn't say losing points to Leeds is a major loss. It's not that bad even though Leeds played fast and wanted to win every ball. Achieving the top four with overhauls is a great accomplishment for Man United. But, the goal is bigger, and therefore signings in the summer will be crucial. Even the top 4 won't be confirmed if they don't take it seriously. The two teams will end up in fifth if they make simple mistakes. The games aren't over yet, so we can relax.

Even though the Premier League still has a long way to go and Man United still has a chance but the difference of 7 points with Arsenal will be a hurdle that will not be easily passed. Moreover, Arsenal has 2 games less than Man United, so they have the potential to widen the gap to 13 points. Actually, the most likely opportunity for Man United is to fight for second place. However, because they only got 1 point against Leeds, their position was even threatened by Newcastle.

It still won't be easy for Man United to get past Arsenal, their points are really far apart, plus the remaining matches that still exist, which makes Arsenal's potential to win the title this season very possible.
However, if Newcastle wins, then the points will be the same, but the opportunity for them is still very likely by Man United, who is dominating it, it's just that to replace Man City, there are always obstacles for Man United, even when their rivals lose, Man United even manages to draw, but whatever going forward, there are still potential opportunities, but it's different from Arsenal, which is likely to be far away.

Arsenal are at their peak this season, they have shown so much commitment and ambition in the league this season and now that they only have the Europa league games alone to compete they can now channel all their energy to the premier league title race this season. I have heard some Manchester United fans claiming they have a chance at the league title over Arsenal which I find amusing especially after finding United were found struggling against Leeds.

I think that the United players are already freed from the psychological pressure. After a terrible start to the season, there has been a rebuild of the team and given that even if United finish the season in 4th place it will be considered a success, all other tasks for United are a bonus this season. I think it's nice to play in these conditions and in any case, everyone at United is thinking about how to get higher and not about how not to fall.

The main problem is injury that happened with some important players of manchester united. I guess that if we are seeing the fact that some people were getting injury who have most contribution to the club like eriksen, martial.

that's why the end season gonna be a difficult situation again for manchester united caused by that. Ten hag has a long term plan with united but since injury is always become the main factor who has always been preventing united to win the match and i think united shall have more players in the lineup.

Sabitzer is a good loan from bayern. He has player really impressive on his debut. MU shall try to loan more player from another club like him. MU will be facing barcelona very soon. let's see what will be doing by MU to defeat barcelona.

[skarais]

No clubs in the top 4 can win the match this week, so it is not so bad result for Man United. They are still in 3rd place and only 2 points behind from Man City. But Man United can't lose points again if they want to overtake Man City, they must play more consistent in the next matches. Sure, without Casemiro and Eriksen, Man United looks weaker, especially in the midfield line. So, I assume Man United will play more consitently when Casemiro and Eriksen are available again. And I think Martial is better than Weghorst, so Ten Hag should prioritize Martial to play more as the main striker.

I honestly find it hard to imagine Wout Weghorst doing well at Manchester United as the main striker.
Wout Weghorst is a Dutch National player who is said to be a worthy alternative to Anthony Martial who is also not in his best form. But one fact is that, Weghorst has not performed well where he has not got a single goal in the Premier League in his 4 appearances.

I can consider Wout Weghorst no better than Anthony Martial who has played for Manchester United for a number of seasons, and Weghorst will probably fall short in his first season for Manchester United. I don't know who the best strikers from Holland are at the moment, but I think Dylan Vente is one to consider. In the past, Ruud van Nistelrooy was Manchester United's best Dutch striker, but now that's not there.

The only team that can overtake arsenal this year is Manchester city there is no doubt about this, but man city recently are having many troubles that could lead to losing some points or even worest sanctions so i believe this is a golden opportunity for arsenal, if they don't get the title this year i don't really know when they will get it honestly

The new game week is going to be starting with the Chelsea - Fulham game. I feel like it is time for Chelsea not only to have their revenge on them but also to start a decent form finally.

I'm really fed up with seeing them so ineffective in most of the games. The Liverpool game was a little promising and I hope to see them improving that performance more. Fulham isn't an easy target. They have dangerous attackers that can punish defensive mistakes easily. Chelsea need to be more aware in defense this time. I hope not to see another red card incident here also. I expect to see a clean performance by Chelsea and get a win one way or another. I'm looking forward to seeing Mudryk's performance also in this game.

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from this loss and get back to winning ways. It promises to be an interesting match, with both teams having something to prove.

Chelsea will be looking to move up the league table and secure a top four finish, while Fulham will continue to battle for a place in the Europa League. This match is sure to be an intense London Derby, and one not to be missed. I think Chelsea will get full points to avenge the defeat in the previous game against Fulham

Well, we all bet that it will be a great opportunity with Fulham, but we already know the result, the point of all this is that Chelsea have to do everything possible to recover their level, they have the best players, of all the teams I think Chelsea was one of the teams that took the most advantage of the transfer window, and this is something remarkable, what they have to do from now on is recover points, victories are very important in a team and Chelsea need it as soon as possible so that can breathe with more security and above all with more peace of mind, Chelsea cannot miss the opportunity to do things well.

I think there were two breaking points in the Manchester United - Leeds game.

One of them was Garnacho's absolute goal chance after feint against the goalkeeper. His attempt was cleared amazingly by Wober. If Manchester United scored there maybe they would have made the score 2-1 also. The other breaking point was Leeds' free-kick with Aaronson which hit the goal post. If that ended up with a goal then Leeds were going to make the score 3-1. Leeds' second goal was really unlucky for Manchester United also by the way. If the ball didn't hit Varane and changed its direction maybe there would have still been a hope for a win for Manchester United.

Leeds were very impressive in the game against Manchester United and they deserved to win the game, luckily Manchester United were quick to react at 2 nil down to get two goals back and finish the game in a 2-2 draw at full time. I am expecting more drama in the second leg meeting in the weekend and I think that with Casemiro and Eriksen's absence it will be difficult for United to control and hold possession in the midfield.

The truth is, I think that Man United was very lucky, the best candidate to win was Leeds, but I didn't know that they were so careless and didn't keep the score well, that's why I say that I attribute everything to a great stroke of luck, when Man United's way of playing and reacting, as a Leeds coach would have changed my way of playing, that is, everything in defense, because with a result like that you have to save and hold the attack, and they always play counterattack But I don't know what they had in mind, maybe they wanted to score more goals for Man United, but they defended very well, although that score is a bitter taste for Man United. The only team that can win it all for me is City, even with everything that's going on, I hope City don't fall apart, it would be sad if Pep's job fell through because of the team's financial mistakes.

I know that everyone has the right to make mistakes, but doing it so badly, damaging good work, is something that cannot be forgiven.

Private investors linked to the Qatari royal family are considering making a bid to buy Manchester United soon. It would be interesting to watch one more EPL team being handed over to another middle eastern cash cow. Will EPL turn into a league where the highest spender wins? Like Ligue 1?

Manchester City and Newcastle might be good evidence for your assumptions. But anyway, I was not aware of the news.
I don't know if there is talk out there of planned acquisition of Manchester United by new investors, but if it does and it does happen it will definitely be great news for the fans. The power of money has brought many star players to join the team, this has happened to Manchester City, PSG and several other teams as well.

Can you share a reliable link about it?

The current owners of Manchester United want to sell their ownership to new one and they have been looking for good investors many months ago. With massive sanctions against Russian billionaires, it is impossible for them to buy clubs in Europe and especially UK.

Investors from Middle East nations are more potential. First they are very rich, second they are not forbidden legally by FA and UK government. Lastly they don't mind too much about profit from the club in short term like investors from the USA.

Can you share a reliable link about it?

Please share it if anybody knows, I would like to be informed about the progress.

It will better if you understood what problems faced by manchester city. City may get point deductions. that being said that if doesn't matter how good manchester city plays in EPL and it will always end below arsenal for this season.

Manchester United is quite a rich club. Even if the Qatari royal family does not buy Manchester United, they can prepare huge funds for the purchase of players. However, if the Qatari royal family buys Manchester United, United will look to add more star players to their squad. And they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money. And if that happens then next season Manchester United will build the squad to win the Premier League title. I think next season we will see a battle for the title between Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle.

The news that Glazer had planned to sell Manchester United had surfaced some time ago but until now the ownership of Manchester United is still owned by them.
The news of the acquisition is circulating again. Now Ratcliffe appears on several media homepages if he plans to compete with Qatari investors and this is the news source I read regarding this.

Some concentrations that occur want the Glazers to release their ownership status at Manchester United which has been led for decades.
Maybe with the change of new ownership it is hoped that it can provide the best for the achievements of the club based at Old Trafford.
You are right, such assumptions have been answered in two other Premier League clubs such as Manchester City and Newcastle United.

[rendravolt]

Liverpool are going to face Everton in Anfield this time. They are still unable to maintain a decent form. Besides they even got a huge defeat by Wolves the last time. This makes me really worried about them.

And now this game is even a tougher one actually. Because Everton have made a big change and they have a new manager now. Besides they still got a very valuable win despite facing Arsenal right away. This will definitely motivate them to play better and be more durable against another big team. The problem is Liverpool are lacking some important attackers at the moment. This might cause them to face the same problems Arsenal had against Everton. But I hope Liverpool win here and start from somewhere.

Derby Merseyside, yes that's the nickname for the match between the two teams later and for sure this match will be exciting and fierce. Not infrequently in this match there will always be lots of fouls and rain of cards for every player of the two teams. Maybe statistically Liverpool's head to head is always superior, but they are currently in poor form and Everton with their new coach will definitely try to achieve this victory after previously beating Arsenal at home.

It looks like the performance of Kloop and his players will be tested in this match, but if they still fail, of course this is bad news for Jurgen Klopp, whose status as Liverpool coach is very threatened due to the successive defeats he has received. I really doubt that Liverpool can win this match, but my prediction is that in this match both teams will score goals.

it depends on who buys it. if the rumors are true, there will be enough rich Arabs who have shares in big European clubs. and indeed when there is more money at the disposal of the club, it will be good for the future performance of the club. Newcastle bounced back extraordinarily. but right now Man United is not a weak team. even if ownership changes. this could be pretty good for the club in the future. Of course, they will have a bigger target in the future to restore the glory of the Red Devils.

Emir Qatar will be only investing in MU. this rich entity isn't interested in fully acquiring MU caused by it's also owning PSG. i think that it's just a rumor for Emir Qatar to fully acquisition MU from glazer family. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is most potential party to buy MU from glazer family. Emir qatar is only interesting to get up to 10% shares of manchester united. The fans shall not be disappointed caused by im sure MU will be getting a new rich owner.

Manchester city potentially faces so many sanctions at the same time. This time some players even pep guardiola have been preparing themselves to leave the club once the sanction will be given to the city.

I am still waiting with FA as England Football Association investigating about financial fair play issues from Manchester City and possibility with heavy punishment until relegated to amateur level. Actually not only with Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola will leave this team but also all star player will reach mutual contract early for joining with the other team.

I still remember when Juventus faced calciopoli and relegated to Serie B and many star players leaving team and left few loyal player keep extended and success bring back Juventus to Serie A. Its depend with punishment receive by Manchester City will drop to championship level or have drop to amateur level will give different decision from several star player keep extended or leave City.

Manchester city should face the law,no team is above the law. But Let the investigation be fair. I think Manchester city obvious violates the English premier financial fair play. For over four years they have spent much money on players they don't really want just to undo other premier teams. It's left for FA to bring their evidence to the court ,then the necessary sanctions will be accorded to them.
Chelsea has started buying players with high money, I hope they're putting the English FA financial fair play into consideration to avoid sanctions in the future.

Chelsea have a pretty tempting odd over 2.00 for their victory against West Ham now. I can't hold myself off from betting on them this time. 
I'm aware of the big risk at the same time of course. Because Chelsea are still not a team to be trusted much. They couldn't defeat Fulham home the last time as you know. But after all those point losses I guess they will start from a point to maintain a good form finally. This match is another opportunity for them to do so.

Even in other seasons when West Ham were a force in the premier league, Chelsea has always found a way to defeat them so I don't see that changing in this game on Saturday.  In the last five meeting between both clubs Chelsea has had the upper hand as it should be. They have won four times with their lost been a narrow one that the game should have ended in a draw but West Ham got the last goal in the 87th minute. Chelsea has been slowly picking up forms after the transfer window ended and with all the recruitment they got, it was understandable that the rebuild will take some few marches.

The good thing is that they haven't lost and they aren't doing that tomorrow. The match isn't going to be an easy one for Chelsea and I'll be surprised if it does but I believe Chelsea will go home with all three points. Chelsea will be having their full squad available tomorrow with just few exceptions that the team can perform brilliantly without so I predict a 3-1 scoreline in favor of Chelsea. Just hoping to see the new boys on the scoreboard.

I’m also waiting for the outcome and the possible punishment and sanctions that Manchester City would likely have to face. I almost feel sorry for the club but if they had gone against any rules and regulations, then they should face the music and bear the consequences of their actions and decisions.
And if they feel so bad about it, then perhaps they should consider not to violate any rules next time. I hope this wouldn’t dampen the morale and confidence the fans have in the club. Like all bad spells, things would gradually turn out well later on.

I want a fair investigation and whoever is guilty should be punished and banned from the game.  Man city is a famous team but it doesn't matter if they have done wrong then expect them to be punished too. If not, each team will continue to do such activities.  Which will destroy the quality of football game. This cannot be allowed to happen.
