Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Iranus]

Arsenal already closed the game today in the 43rd minute and therefore scored the 2-0 just before the break. Then the game was basically over.

Arsenal winning Crystal palace was expected but I didn't think we all believe the scoreline would be this disgraceful. Crystal palace aren't bottom of the table and they should be putting up a fight to Arsenal even though Arsenal has been very good this season. The game should be ending with nothing less than a one goal lead if arsenal should be winning them.
the best player in the game with him netting twice.

I didn't also understand why Crystal Palace lost woefully. Recently in English Premier League any club that sacks their coach will be expecting a win or draw in the next match after which they sacked their coach.
I don't know why the case of Viara and Crystal Palace is different that they had to lose so woefully.
Does this suggest that is wasn't the coach issues?

How on earth do you even watch, view and make analysis of the Premier League football games ? Crystal Palace has been so disorganized even if they've had Viera ( Arsenal Legend as head coach ) this also is a London Derby, they just got Viera out so I don't expect same strategy. This exactly they should have done much longer but they hesitated.
Arsenal are currently superior in the premier league, the only club to stand and face them properly is Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
Who has been so consistent for years now.

I got the result I expected in the Arsenal vs Crystal Palace match. Crystal Palace was unlikely to do well against Arsenal in the form they were in. Because Crystal Palace could not win in the last 13 matches. Before this match, they have lost all their last three matches. I don't think that the Crystal Palace team can play well against Arsenal in such conditions. Arsenal managed to continue their streak. And throughout the match, we saw Arsenal's dominance. As in the previous matches, Arsenal players played very well, and they scored four goals. Arsenal wants to win the Premier League title. And they are proceeding according to this plan.

[uswa56]

Arsenal's passing pace is very difficult to stop the rhythm of the game. The quality of the pass is quite high, they pass by feeling officially. Bukayo Saka was very effective 2 goals 1 assist contributed greatly to this win. Even though Arsenal were eliminated from UEFA, they are advancing step by step towards the league championship they dreamed of, there is little time left for victory. Leandro Trossard really liked this match. New transfer but he was pretty good in this match.

Arsenal finally managed to win the match against Crystal Palace, and the points they have are getting further away and very difficult to catch. The difference of 8 points from second place at the top of the standings will make it difficult for Manchester City to win Arsenal's position. If Arsenal manages to maintain their position by winning every Premier League match, then they will win this season.

Currently Arsenal are indeed leading with a difference of 8 points. But Manchester City still has one delayed match, maybe when they return to playing the difference in points will be 5.

Arsenal must focus on every remaining match if you want to seal the title. Victory over Crystal Palace is an important capital for them. Arteta must always be able to bring Saka to play at the highest level.

In the remaining 10 matches, Arsenal still had to struggle with teams that were classified as difficult, such as Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle. I see the Gunners still have the potential to lose points in IT matches

Been humiliated in emirate stadium is actually a poor results for the eagles, so sacking Patrick Vieira was not a good idea. He would have managed to settled for a draw tie against arsenal, but instead he was relieved of his duty. Crystal Palace lost heavily to arsenal with a thrilling 4-1 victory for the homeside. Mikel Arteta is trying his best to suit the gunners into a standard club with high performance in the premier league. However, Pep Guardiola remained the only man that can stop him from winning the title.

It's not about the coach issue but the coach has also responsibility to make the club to be even better than before. As you can see that the how bad performance that already showed by palace. It seems like that palace has no clue about how to prevent arsenal. Arsenal was making two goals during the first half. that's even enough to win against palace. Plaace has no chance other than lose with huge scores against arsenal. The former of the palace's coah has been sacked by the club..
some names have been linked as a new coach for crystal palace. I think that palace takes an example from everton about how the new coach will be able to give a big impact on the performance of the club.

I hope that palace will find a suitable coach for its club. It seems like performance from palace under veira was so bad caused by it was rarely winning.

@Iranus I was expecting Crystal Palace player’s to fight and put in a strong performance, but the way they surrendered this match shows just devoid of confidence they’re and any coach planning to take up the job will now think twice. Furthermore even if they hadn’t sacked their head coach I doubt that we would have seen any different result, and now the player’s really need to introspect as to why they’re playing so bad before it’s too late for them (relegation).

The coach affects everything in the condition of the team on the pitch and if the coach is not good so are the players. and Patrick Vieira is not a good coach for Crystal Palace because in 12 matches Crystal Palace have never won, so obviously the coach is very influential and when several times he doesn't win the coach must be able to do something to change it and not continue to swallow bad results in every game, and if no change firing him was the right choice.
Crystal Palace are a good team, so Crystal Palace must have a good coach who is suitable for Crystal Palace for change to happen. And regarding Crystal Palace against Arsenal, I admit that Arsenal played very well, and Arsenal got the big score they deserved because it matched their performance.

Lol, the current Crystal Palace's manager is Patrick McCarthy, Patrick Vieira was sacked even though Crystal Palace was good enough to beat any top clubs in Premier League. Now look what's the contribution from McCarthy to Crystal Palace until now? nothing.

Yeah Patrick Vieira haven't bought anything to Crystal Palace since last 2 years Crystal Palace can't even reach top 10 positions, but who know this season Vieira might able to reach it? but unfortunately Crystal Palace want to replace his position with McCarthy.

[Sebas.tian]

Arsenal are very determined about making it to the league title now. Their performance against Crystal Palace was another proof of how much they want this. Crystal Palace couldn't do much thing against them honestly which was the expected from them. You can't deal with this Arsenal in Emirates especially if you are a smaller team.

Arsenal have all the motivation they need for the championship now. As they are out of the Champions League as well they can focus on the Premier League completely. This is their biggest chance to go for it.

Arsenal displayed excellent performance in this match, that made many people to believed that they are in a solid ground to embrace this premier league title because they were able to achieved two goals in the first half to lead crystal palace 2-0. If Arsenal can maintain the tactics they are using to Play some big teams to embraced victory, I think they will definitely meet Manchester city in final battle to prove to their fans that they are capable to defeat any strong team to win this title. Crystal palace performance was not encouraging from the beginning of the match till the end, because they were experiencing poor defending that made Arsenal strikers to have more opportunities to defeated them 4-1 to maintain the first position in the premier league table.

Because they were against Arsenal who had previously suffered a pretty bitter defeat to Everton after Everton fired Frank Lampard as their coach, so Arsenal would not let the same thing happen again, at that time Everton was quite successful with all his provocations so that Arsenal lost a little patience to play calmly , but not against Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace did score one goal and when it did it slightly raised hopes that they would continue to put pressure on Arsenal to continue to come from behind but Arsenal's fourth goal put Crystal Palace's game over.

Of course, because of the bad results that Palace continued to get, Viera had to be fired in order to give another coach a chance who might be able to improve the current bad situation.

Lol.. I discussed a coach who went 12 games without a win with Patrick Vieira and Crystal Palace made the right decision to sack him. If he is a good coach, he can't have continuous defeats and at least 2 or 3 losses he should be able to turn them into wins.
and I don't care about the new Crystal Palace coach at the moment, what is clear is that he has to find the right coach who can revive his team.
and although Patrick McCarthy is Crystal Palace's choice to be their current coach, I haven't seen the slightest bit of change and at least didn't accept a big defeat.

In this match, the performance of Crystal Palace team players was not good.

of course the quality of these two teams has differences, Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League standings while Crystal Palace is a bottom-of-the-table team that is inconsistent.
this is a very worthy and very important victory for Arsenal, this big win can be an increase in mentality for Arteta's team to be able to consistently maintain their hopes of becoming Premier League champions this season.

Martinelli is now Arsenal's new star, this player is currently the center of attention after scoring 6 goals in 6 matches, Martinelli has now turned into a goal machine for The Gunners.

this 4-1 win was very natural for them to get and this is inseparable from the poor performance of Crystal Palace lately and even Crystal Palace has gone through 13 matches without a win.
while Arsenal is a team that is struggling every week to keep their consistency at the top of the standings.

How on earth do you even watch, view and make analysis of the Premier League football games ?

Arsenal are currently superior in the premier league, the only club to stand and face them properly is Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

However, Pep Guardiola remained the only man that can stop him from winning the title.

Premier league is almost at the end of the season and indeed some people considers Crystal Management is too rush when they were decide to sacked Patrick Vieira but we can't blamed them because since the beginning of season Vieira was unable to bring significant changes to Crystal Palace and now the current coach Paddy McCarthy has hard mission that he have to bringing Crystal Palace to avoid relegation zone and survive in premier league

According to the next schedules for Crystal Palace the only strong team they will face is Tottenham and other than that they will only face mediocre teams so if they can playing consistent maybe there is a chance for them to survive but i was wondering what factors are considered for the management when they decide to choose Paddy McCarthy to handle Crystal Palace because i mean this coach is lack of experience in premier league besides that McCarthy only spend his time as a player before and not as a coach

Changing the coach does not necessarily have to be followed by a win. Crystal Palace travels to Emirates Stadium on a very poor record. The task of a new coach is not only to hunt for victory but also to rebuild the mentality of players who may have also slumped while with Patrick Vieira. And Arsenal's current condition which is on fire in the Premier League is also another reason, Palace is of course open to an opponent commensurate with The Gunners.

[Majestic-milf]

Martinelli is now Arsenal's new star, this player is currently the center of attention after scoring 6 goals in 6 matches, Martinelli has now turned into a goal machine for The Gunners.

 Martinelli is really a good player but sometimes he doesn't play with his teammates and he also makes some decisions that sometimes causes him to easily lose possession of the ball, scoring goals doesn't make him center of attention I think it should be SAKA, he has been consistently in form for the Gunners and always making the difference changing the atmosphere of the game, if he continues like this I feel he's going to be the Messi of Arsenal, no comparison though.

this 4-1 win was very natural for them to get and this is inseparable from the poor performance of Crystal Palace lately and even Crystal Palace has gone through 13 matches without a win.

 Palace has never been in good form starting from the beginning of the season and is like the players has already given up, with the sack of Patrick Vieira it still does change there style of play and sometimes changing of coach doesn't affect the team positively like Everton when they won their game with the new coach. And tontop it all, Palace can't withstand Arsenal in this hot level form, the Gunners are just too big for them.

while Arsenal is a team that is struggling every week to keep their consistency at the top of the standings.

 Arteta's men has never been struggling week in week out, they have been outstandingly brilliant since the beginning of this campaign, if not for the way they lost to Sporting I think they would have been running with a win win win form in both the Europe league and EPL, so to me Arsenal has never been in a bad shape in any game even with the injury problems, and with the games they lost in the EPL the always put there all and this is the best Arsenal squad have seen in 3 seasons.

[hd49728]

Exactly, this is luck enough that Newcastle got a penalty kick at the very last minute. Then, they can have more goals to beat Forest. If there is no penalty kick, I doubt that Newcastle was able to add the goal. I believe that Forest regrets enough with the penalty kick because of the fault of a player. But here, nothing to regret, although Newcastle won the match, they also have many tasks to be done and evaluated. because whatever the result, their performance in the match is very bad.

This win for Newcastle United makes them closely to top four. In addition, it's weird to see from Tottenham to Brentford at the 8th position, there are no big differences and the table is very unpredictable when many clubs have 1 to 2 more matches to play. We don't know will they win or lose in those matches.

Of course, I have more belief in big clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham to get a spot in top four. Clubs like Brighton, Brentford later will lose their good performance and slip on the table.

Current table

Martinelli is now Arsenal's new star, this player is currently the center of attention after scoring 6 goals in 6 matches, Martinelli has now turned into a goal machine for The Gunners.

So does Bukayo Saka. They are both young and new star players of Arsenal. They both contribute a lot for Arsenal in general operation to assists and goals and they are playing very important roles in Arsenal success so far.

Martinelli needs to learn Bukayo Saka to shot better at penalty spot but he has a long career ahead to improve.

I can say that Arsenal was the only dominant team throughout the match.  Their elimination from the Europa league may have been a bad experience for them, but they seem to have gotten over it quickly.  They played a very successful match against Crystal and managed to get a 4 goals win.  The championship is currently their only goal, I hope they succeed.

[Issa56]

Crystal Palace are in a bad form, they haven't even scored in a while, 4 last games to be exact, so Arsenal took advantage of their bad form and pressured them from the beginning, Arsenal made no mistakes here, and the pressure is on Man City now to win against Liverpool.

I knew Arsenal will win the match, crystal Palace is not really in form, and I know the condition which Arsenal is, they won't want to risk losing any match currently, they will try to win any match they are playing now, either big clubs or small clubs, they will definitely play them equally. Arsenal is out of Europa, they are left with only premier league, it won't really make sense if they fuck up in Premier League also, they will do everything possible to win premier league and they are currently in first position.

Arsenal are in their best form this season, Mikel Arteta is probably the mastermind behind the countless victories for arsenal.
The gunners are in their best peak at the moment so it wasn't a surprise for me. A big humiliation for crystal palace who sacked their coach, Patrick Vieira and they still lost their game against arsenal. I think it's high time they fixed the club, they're ranked 12th on the table with poor results in league games.

[Jody.Drummer]

But even though they are 8 points ahead of Manchester City now, that doesn't mean they can play casually because threats are still looming over them.

The 3 matches that will threaten Arsenal to fail to win the title this season are against Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. The rest I'm not too sure Arsenal will lose or lose points, but regarding the 3 big matches above I'm sure Arsenal will be serious threat.

Even though today Arsenal won 3 points from Crystal Palace, of course that doesn't guarantee title for them. Up 8 points for a while, but if Manchester City wins in their next game then the difference in points will return to 5 points. Unless Manchester City dropped 3 or 6 points in 3 tough match against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea for the rest of the season. If that happens, then Arsenal will win the title this season. It's not time for a decision yet, we have some decisive matches to look forward to.

Indeed, this is still a difficult job for Arsenal, on the other hand the conditions could get worse if they don't play well in that match because apart from the 3 big clubs they have to face, there are still a number of clubs that are actually troublesome. Newcastle and Brighton are still on their must-play list and this will trouble Arsenal in addition to the big games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City.

As long as they can anticipate all possibilities then it will be very good, but conversely if they can't do something good then they will be in a lot of trouble.
