Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Nheer]

How can you think that when this same Arsenal team were in a comfortable position last season to finish in the top 4 position to secure them a slot at champions league football while having few outstanding games but they threw that chance away. Arsenal has also lead the table for other seasons and still not lift the trophy. Arsenal doesn't have a squad depth of a team wanting to win the premier league and the players they settle for are Chelsea rejects. Who signs a player like jorginho if he want to attack when all he does is slow down the pace of games.

Since arsenal signed in Jorginho that was when arsenal started poor results in their game, it is so sad for arsenal to miss this opportunity.  I think arsenal was ahead of Manchester City about difference of 8 points.  At this point of time I'm not very sure if arsenal get back to the first position or Manchester City to lose the first position.

The chelsea virus has recently infected Arsenal as a result of the purchase of jorginho, but you can't argue that they haven't tried hard enough. They lack squad depth, and I've predicted that sooner or later certain players would get injured and that will cause them problems. Thomas Partey is a crucial player for the team, so the team should have signed a backup player with abilities that can almost match his. Jorginho is not up to the task. To be a title contender, Arsenal needs to start acquiring players of great caliber. Arsenal's return to the top spot will be challenging right now because they haven't been able to earn all possible points in their most recent games and thats a bad sign.

Manchester City managed to coup position from Arsenal after being able to beat them in the postponed match with a score of 1-3. With that result they have the same points as Arsenal, which is 51 points and only have a 1 game advantage that Arsenal still have. Even so, Arsenal's position is still very threatened now, even though with the scenario Arsenal can win in the remaining 1 game. Because now there is almost no gap from the position of these two teams.

Manchester City are back on the top of the EPL on goal difference, though Arsenal have a game in hand, Arsenal shouldn't lose their focus, the league has been thrown wide open but their destiny is still in their own hands, and if they can get a couple wins after these disappointing results of losing to Everton, drawing to Brentford, and losing to City (thus out of a possible 9 points they have picked up only 1 point), then they can get right back on track.

It seemed that Arsenal would continue their negative trend in the league, after losing to Everton, they should have been able to get their win against Brentford, but they couldn't make the most of the opportunities they had. And after losing again to Manchester City, their task will be even tougher and the team's motivation to win the EPL title will decrease. I really hope we have another winner for each season in the EPL, so, hopefully Arsenal can maximize their 1 match difference from Manchester City.

Having said that, i think the league is now more of a three horse race between Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, they are all pretty close to each other in terms of points accrued, whilst City and the Gunners both have 51 points each, United are just 5 points behind, thus everything is still very open and nobody knows who'll win the league at this stage.

Yes you're right. All possibilities can still happen considering there are still quite a lot of matches remaining in the EPL. We don't know whether Manchester United, which isn't considered, will become the leader of the standings.

Since they have only gotten 1 point in the last 3 matches, their players need to improve their performance. Yesterday's score is just something so usual in the EPL. Arsenal has really tried a lot to top the league in about seven months, and I guess that they may still be able to win the league if they can stay focused and get good strikers and defense. I wish them luck in their next matches.

Manchester City managed to coup position from Arsenal after being able to beat them in the postponed match with a score of 1-3. With that result they have the same points as Arsenal, which is 51 points and only have a 1 game advantage that Arsenal still have. Even so, Arsenal's position is still very threatened now, even though with the scenario Arsenal can win in the remaining 1 game. Because now there is almost no gap from the position of these two teams.

I think it's difficult for Arsenal to win the EPL, Man. City and Guardiola are still proving that they are the real champions. Of course we all hope that there will be a new champion this season, hoping that Arsenal can end their period after last winning the EPL in the Henry era. 2x losing 1x this draw can affect the confidence of Arsenal players. Arteta must be able to bring it back, if they can manage their mentality, I believe they are able to get 3 points in 1 match which is become Arsenal opportunity to return to the top of the standings.

Even though Arsenal had to accept defeat to Manchester City they still have 1 match left against Aston Villa so this will be an open opportunity for Arteta to improve his players, especially improving their mentality when under pressure from opponents. The reason is, most important point from their match with Manchester City is that Arsenal's young players are still being provoked by the opponent's pressure. So they often seek revenge rather than take advantage of the opponent's situation. 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League without a win became a burden in itself when at the beginning of the season they were used to stepping on the gas with continuous wins but mid-season became a little far from expectations.

For Arsenal, be careful and alert because slipping from above hurts a lot.

Arsenal still have a chance to reclaim the top of the standings from Manchester City and Arsenal still have 1 game left, and Mikel Arteta must get up and fix Arsenal's weaknesses. The reason is, in the last three matches, Arsenal were only able to win one point. After losing 0-1 to Everton, then being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford, and recently they were humiliated by Manchester City 1-3 at home.
and I am still optimistic that Arsenal can return to the top of the table and return to their best form before their last 3 matches which were not good.

Arsenal dropped to 2nd standing position in English Primer League after losing from Manchester City but still possibility back to 1st because have one match left, I didn't surprised with Arsenal failure keep exist in the top standing because last several season they always have bad habit when league almost ended hasn't winning mentality and finally finish on the top fourth standing position seems realistic for Arsenal.

But interested with Arsenal match schedule in Primer League until six games later face with mediocre team and has seems easy for Arsenal get three points, have second chance for Arsenal back to the top standing position if can consistency and recovery after losing points last two matches.

[skarais]

Actually, in this case, it's a bit unfortunate when they lost with possession of the ball and had more opportunities.
But indeed things like this are what most people have predicted, because regardless of anything they really need points after a few games that don't go well but against Manchester City it was fifty-fifty actually and they failed to maximize the finishing and the defense was a little shaky when facing counterattacks that make them have to be willing to lose points again.

At the moment their position has shifted because Manchester City is superior in terms of goals which puts them in first place but Arsenal's chances are still big because they have 1 game remaining.

Both teams performed well in that match, but several mistakes made one of them have to accept the defeat.
Of course Arsenal will have to pay dearly for losing to their closest competitor this season. Unmitigated, lost 1-3 to Manchester City due to their own mistakes and carelessness during the match.

I had expected that Manchester City would keep up their good record against Arsenal under Pep Guardiola, and sure enough Pep and his boys did win that match even though they failed to have high percentage of possession. Now I don't think it's time to rest on our laurels, I mean it is still possible for Arsenal to reclaim the top of the table having one match in hand. But after being 8 points behind Arsenal, I think Manchester City really deserves to celebrate this victory.

[Unsoldier]

The last games have seen Arsenal going from bad to worse regarding their results and this lost game will have a huge psychological impact in their players and as such it is critical that Arsenal starts to get their form back again starting directly from their weekend game,if they can win it and the game that they have less then there is no reason for them to worry,the psychological pressure will be on Manchester City side this time.

Manchester City came to this game clear in their intentions and played open football knowing that it was life and death game for them and they managed to win it,now the Premier League is super open.

A sad result for Arsenal but with a game in hand at the moment they haven't lost the lead yet. Arsenal have a long streak of easy opponents ahead and if they are effective in beating outsiders then City can get really nervous, after all, the fewer games to go, the more important these 3 points of advantage will be.

Arsenal has a better position, as the club has 1 game to spare. Manchester City needs to constantly bounce back from the result of the Gunners. It is psychologically harder. If City can withstand such pressure, they are quite capable of becoming the leader of the Premier League. Also, the Citizens became the leader of the EPL because of their best stats, this will give them strength against Arsenal.

[imamusma]

Arsenal's defeat against Manchester City is certainly no longer a surprise for us because in the last 13 matches Arsenal have never won against Manchester City, we have to admit that Arsenal played superior in the first half and even they had several opportunities but unfortunately they were not utilized to the fullest, in the match Mancheater City really deserved to win because the quality of the players was better than the quality of Arsenal's players so I don't blame the defeat that the Arsenal team got because of Arteta but that was purely due to the inferior quality and mentality of Arsenal's players.

I don't think it's about surprises or not, but competition this season can be expected to be tight because Arsenal have really shown good performance since the start of the season. But in the end Arsenal were unable to do much after Manchester City proved who they were with a 1-3 win. De Bruyne, Grealish, Haaland really enjoyed the match and they had a great night at the Emirates.

Because of that result, Manchester City managed to acquire the top of the standings after Arsenal had it since the start of this season. Now Manchester City have another chance to lead the table although it is always possible to get Arsenal to take it back. Arsenal have been under pressure since they failed to maintain consistency in the last few matches, and they must bear the consequences.

Arsenal should take their outstanding match serious,so that they can win the match and top the league again. It was clear that luck wasn't at the side of Arsenal because they lost their chances, which they would have converted to goal. If they don't win their outstanding, I guess that their chance of winning the league is slim.

Manchester city are moving gradually and have taken over the first position from Arsenal,I see their zeal and determination to win the league and if they work hard and stay focus,they can achieve this,because the team has quality players and plays good football. Gaduiola is an experience coach better than Areta and that has shown in yesterday's clash between both clubs.

[rendravolt]

For sure this will be a good start for Arsenal, we know they are in bad shape at the moment and at least they still have hope when they play against a mediocre team later. On the other hand, Mikel Arteta must ensure that his players are in top condition so they can achieve consistent results in his matches.

[Razmirraz]

Manchester city victory is not a surprised to me, because I knew Arsenal will not stop them in this match not to take over the first position in the premier league table. I think, this a sign that Manchester city coach has introduced some skills on his players to be in a solid ground to make it happen again by winning the premier league title this season which they are in that direction. Manchester city were able to achieved the first goal at 24th minutes to prepare the mind of their fans that victory will definitely come to them, which they made it happened at 82th minutes with the help of their potential striker Haaland who scored the third goal.

Of course the Manchester City coach has a special strategy to beat Arsenal, after all before Manchester City could get rid of Arsenal in the FA Cup with a thin score, there I saw Arsenal not really being able to beat Manchester City, I would also not be surprised if Manchester could beat Arsenal, after all they deserved at the top of the standings than Arsenal 

Guardiola was very enthusiastic about leading his team while playing at the Emirates stadium, Guardiola experience managed to make Arsenal lose again at the hands of Man City. The result of this match was not only Guardiola genius in concocting his squad, Man City experience and mentality were decisive.
As a result of the defeat at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal lost its position at the top of the standings after occupying the first position for quite a long time. Now Manchester City is back at the top of the standings even though the points for the two teams are the same, but Man City is superior on goal difference.

Yo, I totally feel you on this one, bro! Even tho Arsenal got reckt by Manchester City, theres still hope for them to step itt up and come back strong. Them young players need to learn how to handle the heat and keep their coool, ya kno? But check this out, they got a game against Aston Vila comin up, and that's the perfect chance for Arteta to teach 'em some mentall tuffness and killa strategies. I know that it aint over till its over, and even a team that strugglin can turn it arround with the rite mindset and tacticss. Shoot, some teams that were ded last ended up takin home the trophy! I aint even kiddin'. I truly believe that Arsenel has got what it takes to make a comeback and climb up the ranks in the Premire League. Letz go, Gunners!

[Spack17]

I don't know why but Arsenal have started to throw their chance of becoming the league champions.

After a loss and a draw they lost a lot of momentum right before their match against Manchester City. I wasn't believing in them to defeat Manchester City even a bit at that point. It really happened. Manchester City had a much better performance than Arsenal and they made use of this chance in a great way. Haaland is still continuing to be a goal machine - 26 goals in 22 league matches. Now we see Manchester City at top. Arsenal can still take the lead back and have a gap of three points with them though. But they need to win their missing match against Everton for that.

On the other hand, Mikel Arteta must ensure that his players are in top condition so they can achieve consistent results in his matches.

Arsenal still have a chance to take first place this weekend against Aston Villa at Villa Park. But if Arsenal lose again in the away game this weekend, Arsenal will get even more trouble from Manchester United and it will be difficult to catch up with Manchester City, who are currently at the top of the standings even though the points at the moment are the same. But Arsenal need to win the game at the weekend to take back top spot from Manchester City.

I've said it before that Man City is in better position to win the league because of the depth of their squad but the win against Arsenal is about the change in tactics. Hats off to Pep for the bold changes and the aggressive approach in the second half. It's dangerous but it paid off since it rattled the flow of the Gunners.

Nice shake up to the table.

Compared to how Arsenal has been playing at the start of the season with the first half of this game, it doesn't even come close. No high press, they weren’t  compact, lost balls in a silly manner. The first half was poor to me and I knew from that half that they wouldn't win that  game. The lads tried, but the errors in the back was just too much... And they were playing against Manchester city. They do get away with it playing a less side but not Manchester city, so fast and more experience... At least they will make the UCL next season if they keep their heads up.

That's Arsenal, at the moment there is still 1 game left that must be put to good use because if they miss again then it is clear that Manchester City will continue to take the standings position with points far away later.
The last 3 matches for Arsenal have been very bad with recently against Manchester City they were unable to win at home so they were temporarily displaced until Arsenal won again to win the English league standings.
Now the EPL title race is getting tighter after a long time discussing which Arsenal will win the trophy but this time they have to fight again with other teams.
