Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ILuckyGuyI]

I think that there is no need to panic already now. It is the truth that Arsenal have been very disappointing for two weeks in the league games.

However I'm still expecting them to turn the game around against Southampton after a very shocking start by conceding two goals in the first 15 minutes already. Martinelli's goal is really valuable before the end of the first half. This should be very helpful for Arsenal to fight with all they have got in the second half. Arteta must be able to increase the level of concentration among the players. They have come a really long way in the season until now and they just can't give up against this kind of easy competitors. They have to win this.

The first half ended with a score of 1-2 now in favor of Southampton. It was obviously made a bit more complicated in the second half if Arsenal didn't try harder.
The reason is that if indeed in this match they have to return to achieve less than optimal results, then like it or not they have to let go of their current position and have to be prepared to congratulate Manchester City.

Basically, Arsenal must avoid mistakes in their defense so that their chances of winning are better. They are the team most likely to win the game in terms of quality but their two mistakes today have come at a cost. Of course there is still plenty of time to wait for some changes, but about Arsenal's chances of winning I think it will be doubtful if during the first half they are not able to score 2 goals.

Arsenal began to concede too much, which led to the fact that they lost points in the previous two matches. Southampton is weak, that's true, but they will now try with all their might to get out of the relegation zone, they need points no less than Arsenal and they are trying hard. In addition, Arsenal can also make mistakes in the second half, so Southampton have a chance to score points, let's see what tactics they choose, sit on the defensive or try to score more.

Alcaraz was very good for Southampton in the first half with the early goal, an assist and clearing the goal line in the final minutes when Arsenal would have equalised but he has been taken off in this second half in a move that I hope the coach doesn't regret. This game is a must win for Arsenal so I expect them to press higher in this second half and sustain the pressure that they put on Southampton in the first half.

[BIT-BENDER]

I believe if Arsenal loses this match they should completely forget the the trophy, they have already drawn two games in a role which is very bad for them and now a lose would be a nail in to their coffin.
 
I also don’t think Southampton should be the team to cause Arsenal any trouble, it’s still early in the game and for Arsenal survival sake they need to come back on this one and win the game.

Well if they lose they dont have anything in their hands anymore but still they have that match against Man City thst will decide the title race. But Arsenal needs points here they cannot give any room to City catching up to them.

[jayce]

Arsenal is deteriorating already, I am disappointed.

Well all of remaining matches are the final games for Arsenal. Early goal by Southampton triggered the game to more entertaining level but didn't expect two goals. This is the best PL match ever that played on Friday this season!

Some people may be happy because they can try it out that Southampton would win this match, Southampton has a bigger odd and if they win tonight it is going to be a lucky day for them. But with what I am seeing, it is just first half and Arsenal is about to equalize, just one goal remaining, Southampton may be trying not to relegate but maybe not with Arsenal today to begin with because I still believe that Arsenal would win this match. Not interesting at all unless Arsenal equalized and win.

Lol yeah I'd consider to bet on every opponent of Arsenal to score in their next matches. Their defense line looks so fragile, seems Saliba really played an important role during this season. I hope Arsenal could win too, so their competition with City will be kept until the end of season.

That's how all the premier league matches are going to be turning up because the small team are all coming out without any fear to play the big boys because their have nothing to lose now, if they don't come out and play to win they will definitely get relegated so that's why arsenal are experiencing this sudden shock goals scored by Southampton and if they are not careful enough they might end up losing this match which is going to be very bad for them as only a win tonight can be tolerated because even a draw won't benefit them tonight.

Arsenal's performance was greatly affected by the big of their external pressure. Arsenal have dropped a lot of points in two games in a row, while they can't let it go like that because Manchester City is too much of a threat to the title. If today Arsenal fail to win the game (draw or lose), then I'm sure their chances for the title will be very slim and even lost.

I believe Arsenal can control this match well, press more often and create chances, but if Southampton defends perfectly, then Arsenal's defeat will only be in sight. At the moment Southampton tend to defend, but their counter-attacks are very dangerous.

I must admit that my excitement / curiosity is rising! Not that I am against Arsenal, but if Southampton takes home three points here, I think we might just have witnesses another historical moment in the premier league when a team leading the table is throwing away their hard work for a whole season on one evening...

If you want to win this title, you can't lose this game, period. Everyone will say that it's not only this game and I concur with that, but still, this game in particular, you can't lose it. Now let's see the last part of it and either be shocked and think about Guardiola's smile on his face, or Arsenal corrects their mistakes and make it in the end.


FOR REAL? What the... I can't believe what I am just seeing! I made my post and ten seconds later 1-3!

Arsenal really left their home open in the first half, and Southampton took advantage of the perfect opportunity to score. Now, it's looking difficult for Arsenal to score, and they haven't even given Saka any breathing room, but I'm still hoping for a win. This home game for Arsenal is going to be a slap in our faces if Southampton should win another goal will give Arsenal more momentum to score more goals. Let's wait and see the outcome of the game still some few minutes  to go, a very heartbreak situation for me.

[Spack17]

This must be some kind of a joke.    How can Arsenal be 3-1 behind in this match? Shouldn't it have ended with a comfortable victory for Arsenal normally? What is happening to this team? They are just continuing to throw their chances for the league championship every week. First the Liverpool match, later on the West Ham match which was the copy of the previous one.

Now we are witnessing a nightmare for Arsenal as they are losing to Southampton home with a 3-1 score. Southampton are trying to cling to the league maybe but this can't be enough for them to defeat the leader anyway. Are Arsenal really back to their old times again? I hope not. I really want to see them as the champions this season because they have been amazing in general of the season.

But this is just making things easier for Manchester City and they even have a match against each other in Etihad next time.

I don't think Arsenal are mentally strong enough to win the Premier League title under Arteta. Instead of scoring the second goal for a draw, Arsenal had to concede the third goal from Southamton. It was clear that it was a bad day for Arsenal, and now they are under even more pressure to make up for the 2-goal deficit to draw. Southampton started to defend well and avoid mistakes, but there was still 20 minutes to go before the second half.

No joke, Arsenal have been terrible on defense this game. Maybe they underestimated the relegation zone team too much, that should be enough to shock the whole stadium.

The game has entered the 75th minute and Arsenal are already three goals behind, Alcaraz and Theo Walcott scored quick goals for a temporary win for Southampton. Although Arsenal controlled the game, Southampton's defense made it very difficult for Arsenal's players to score goals, Duje Caleta again added to the lead for Southampton in the 66th minute, so that putting Arsenal under increasing pressure to equalize. Arsenal's pressure will be much greater because if the match ends in a defeat or draw, then Man City will benefit from the results of this match.

Southampton will definitely try to defend the victory because they want to get out of the relegation zone and so far Arsenal have also not been able to equalize, so Arsenal's chances of securing full points at home will be much more difficult.

Arsenal's mentality seems to be injured now.
this score is really quite bad when they are playing at home especially one goal that Southampton created came from the feet of their former star player walcot
If this condition goes to the end, it looks like we will have a new position owner for the next few weeks because the gap with Manchester City is clearly getting closer with the possibility that they will win in their remaining 2 matches later.

[RILWAN]

Arsenal will win this fight. but Arsenal cannot underestimate a team that is in the relegation zone. anything can happen, although Arsenal's chances are greater to win.

Arsenal have the better statistics against Southampton, not loosing to them I. Many games so they have another chance today to do what they are used to doing. My only worry for them is how low in motivation and under pressure the players may feel after drawing two consecutive games and loosing their advantage against Manchester City. With that kind of pressure, it can make players make mistakes that can cost them the game. Arsenal need to remain focus on scoring even if they are able to score two goals first. They do not need to stop until the officials say they have won. If they loose against Southampton, it will be certain that they cannot win the premier league this season.

your concern is true. Southampton scored a quick goal. this must be a shock for Arsenal. Alcaraz's goal in minute 1 made all the supporters stunned. hopefully, Arsenal can really get up and not sink with their mentality that went down because the last two matches were not optimal. Likewise, with a quick goal in this match, Southampton might change their strategy to a strong defense mode. it could get Arsenal in trouble. but I still hope Arsenal win in this fight.

Arsenal is in dire straits. They have drawn and lost points in their last two matches. They need to get 3 points in today's match by any means. If they lose points in today's match, they may soon lose the top spot in the points table. Arsenal conceded a goal in the first minute of today's match. They fell behind 1-0 with Carlos Alcaraz's goal. Now it will be more difficult for Arsenal to get 3 points against Southampton. Southampton will play completely defensive now.

Arsenal have developed the habit of taking the lead and in the end settling for a draw the gunners have not been in their best form of playing and winning and dropping point like this could affect their title race and it's not good enough given the form of the relentless Manchester city who are chasing them down.

Arsenal is deteriorating already, I am disappointed.

Well all of remaining matches are the final games for Arsenal. Early goal by Southampton triggered the game to more entertaining level but didn't expect two goals. This is the best PL match ever that played on Friday this season!

Lol yeah I'd consider to bet on every opponent of Arsenal to score in their next matches. Their defense line looks so fragile, seems Saliba really played an important role during this season. I hope Arsenal could win too, so their competition with City will be kept until the end of the season.

Asernal condition may be severe in recent times but not to the point of predicting Southampton to win them in tonight's matches because they're in a critical time and every match must be a win for them to be able to remain in top form for the rest of the season, there is no doubt that Asernal recent outing has witnessed steady fall back in formation and that has further exposed them to dangers from other clubs who have taken time to study Asernal weaknesses to be able to put up a formidable opposition but at the end, Arsenal will likely win the matches.

And if I must choose between both clubs for this match I will pick Asernal for a straight winning,  instead of risking my bet on the other club who has no track records compared to Asernal.

They’re going to lose it, Arsenal maybe lose the championship today, this is a game they should never lose... but Southampton FC are leading 3-1 with only 10 minutes to go and the current score is unbelievable. All Manchester City players and fans get a chance today to win the next two games and be in first place in the league. Normally every City fan should be celebrating today, i’m sure they are. With the win, Southampton have a chance to stay in the Premier League, they need 2 more points.

Arsenal have lose their chance of winning the Premier league with this performance they are displaying at home against a relegation team Southampton.
Arsenal had the chance to increase the point gap but they failed and now they are losing matches that are winnable to them. I will consider it as fatigue because the young players tried well from the beginning of the season.

[Mr.right85]

Arsenal's mentality seems to be injured now.

Is been a good run for Arsenal until now. Don't know but, they seemed to have there confidence in the results they could come up with switched off. The Arsenal o am watching now is definitely not a team that could luck horns with Manchester City and win. The league title is lost to them as it is with them losing against the bottom table team Southampton.
What an embarrassing moment for Arsenal, losing to a bottom table team, conceiving 3 goals and at a crucial time when they need all the points from there remaining games. Manchester City is sure to take full advantage of this window.

Incredible as it is, the game is level Arsenal 3:3 Southampton with the captain Odegard and Saka on the score sheet in less than 2 minutes.
