Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[DaNNy001]

The biggest weakness in Manchester United lineup last night was related to their defense line. You know that Martinez and Varane have been injured for a while and they had serious issues because of that. Lindelof isn't also a defender that they can rely on in their absence. Maguire isn't either and Erik ten Hag tried a different line like Lindelof - Shaw there. These two players had the biggest role in this loss - especially Shaw. Because Lindelof wasn't in good shape obviously with simple mistakes and Shaw even caused a penalty in the final moments.

This was a big hit to Manchester United while they were trying to keep their presence in top 4. Liverpool are in a better situation thanks to this loss indeed.

Arsenal and Newcastle match has always been off and on, when Arsenal win one against them, they lose the next match against Tottenham but the last one they had was a draw match and prior to that, the one before that match was one by Newcastle. This one will be one by Arsenal if you consider how hot and hunting they are with points to finish the first place.

This is a very crucial match for the gunners as every game they will be playing till the season ends will be very Vital for and they can afford or accommodate any defeat or even a draw so it is imperative they gather all points at its fullest till the league ends. But not all team will allow this win for arsenal and its certainly not going to be this Newcastle team which is also striving for a place in the top four. I can only predict this game to end a full time draw because the two teams are eagerly desperate for the points.

Tomorrow there will be a match between Bournemouth vs Chelsea and of course this will be a competition for both teams to win the match, moreover both Chelsea and Bournemouth have won 39 points in the middle of the board and the loser will be closer to the relegation zone. As usual, even though Chelsea are favored to win this match, it seems they will still experience difficulties.

I was surprised when I saw that Chelsea are been given the favorite to win the game, how can a club that haven't won any of their last 5 matches been given the favorite when Bournemouth has only lost one game out of their last 5 matches which the rest were wins not even draws. I don't see Chelsea winning the game and if we do win then It would be a very close margin because Bournemouth would be looking to increase their points so they can stay clear off relegation. There' are not in much danger to be relegated but if they were to lose all their matches then they might go down.

Frank Lampard needs to win this game against Bournemouth, because if Chelsea was to lose to Bournemouth then we might be in a position that we'll have to fight to stay in the premier league while our next matches aren't the easiest to win because we still have Manchester city, Newcastle united and Manchester united to play which are going to be very tough games considering what those other clubs have at sake by losing if they can't defeat us.

Frank Lampard would want to gather the little points which he can from clubs like Bournemouth, As for her games against Manchester United and Manchester City, they'll have no chance of winning, so it's best if they can channel that energy around winning Bournemouth and also Nothingham Forest.

I have it up in my mind that Chelsea would win. The reverse fixture was the last game Graham Potter won in the Premier League for Chelsea if I'm correct.

Basically, Newcastle does have a very good chance of finishing in the top four, because at the start of the season or in the first half of this season, Newcastle played and were in a very good position in the standings. So naturally, in the end Newcastle returned to being strong in the top four, because at the same time Manchester United experienced a decline in performance.

Newcastle are a club determined for transformation to a different level and that has been seen in their performances and transfer dealings since the takeover, I think we will be seeing a transformation similar to that of Manchester City. Newcastle are moving in the same path and I must admit that this is good development, if they continue this way the next two years will definitely be a different Newcastle team.

Yes, that's right, maybe in the future Newcastle will have the same quality as Manchester City. Also, I really believe that if Newcastle play in the Champions League then it will be easier for Newcastle to get star players and maybe also with their coach. Because as time goes by their pressure will be even greater and of course, they also won't be able to maintain their current squad composition.

So yes, because Newcastle has also transformed very extraordinary after having a new owner, it will not be a surprise anymore if at the end of this season Newcastle can stay in the top four. Because after all, before I had thought that Newcastle would be title contenders this season but unfortunately, after the season break and internationals Newcastle experienced instability and made Newcastle weak and unable to become a title contender this season.

You have just said the main problem Manchester united is having currently, they have been using the same set of players from the beginning of the season to the ending, not only the defenders alone, all Manchester united player's are tired already and some are on injure. If Manchester united have enough substitute then it will have been better for them, at least they will be able to bench some players so that they can rest, but they keep on using the same players. Manchester united had lot's of opportunities yesterday but they couldn't convert any of the opportunity into goal, from their performance yesterday, I noticed most of their players need rest.

The lack of good player options on the bench means coaches are forced to use the same players throughout the season and may adjust according to the intensity of the match. Rotations are usually done in easy match, but it's true that Manchester United don't have a lot of players to play when their main players are tired.

As of May 5, Manchester United have 10 matches they have played since April. It's normal if the players are very tired with a busy schedule of matches, not only Manchester United players, but most teams also definitely get the same complaint. The lack of player stock makes Manchester United different from several other teams such as Manchester City, they have a good and equal player stock to play at the same level of play.

Brighton have proven themselves to be worthy of European football as they narrowly beat Manchester United and secured all three points last night from a late penalty they converted well. Many persons doubted Brighton's possibilities but the results speaks for itself, I knew it was going to be a tough game after Manchester United eliminated them from the FA Cup, last night was Brighton’s pay back.

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester City are the kings of the premier league, they have dominated against other clubs over the years even without Haaland, now that they have a goal machine like Erling Haaland present and breaking records in his first EPL season, it is very difficult for other teams to beat Manchester City, they are formidable and very letal against other teams in the premier league and if they succeed in winning the champions league, they will be more confident and dominate even more.

[bitgolden]

Both the Manchester United team and its supporters must have been quite disappointed by the defeat to Brighton. But it's crucial to keep in mind that anything can happen in football. It's normal for an underdog team to triumph, thus it's crucial for teams to avoid becoming overly accustomed to their positions. It's crucial to recognise that even though Manchester United may have had a good record before to that game, they are not unbeatable. The squad may use this defeat as motivation to revise their tactics and perform better in subsequent games. After all, what matters is how you get back up and keep fighting, not how many times you fall.

Plus Brighton is one of those teams that always plays better against bigger clubs, and they may lose to the lower level teams but win against big names. I remember one season City was just dominating every single team and then tossed against Brighton as well.

So yeah, United is doing fine, losing to Brighton doesn't really change much, surely it would have been nice to get 3 points out of this but that doesn't mean that it would be so much different, it would just not be that great at all, and I feel like it would not mean anything for their future. I think they could keep getting wins again after this game, should not be really a big deal and I will probably go focus on something more about Europa cup instead, should be considered a lot better.

Manchester City are the kings of the premier league, they have dominated against other clubs over the years even without Haaland, now that they have a goal machine like Erling Haaland present and breaking records in his first EPL season, it is very difficult for other teams to beat Manchester City, they are formidable and very letal against other teams in the premier league and if they succeed in winning the champions league, they will be more confident and dominate even more.

Manchester City is on a really good run in the other half of the season. Haaland was a perfect addition to the City team to execute all of their goal chances. With how good they are playing i see them winning both champions league and premier league easily they got such a big roster even if some players are injured it wouldnt hurt them

This was a big hit to Manchester United while they were trying to keep their presence in top 4. Liverpool are in a better situation thanks to this loss indeed.

In my opinion, Man United's loss to Brighton was not wrong because many players were injured or ETH's tactics were wrong, but here I see Brighton's players are slightly better and of better quality than MU players, with their extraordinary individual skills so that MU players can't do anything. what's the whole game? Brighton built a very good attack making it difficult for MU's defense, Brighton deserved to win in this match.

Brighton have proven themselves to be worthy of European football as they narrowly beat Manchester United and secured all three points last night from a late penalty they converted well. Many persons doubted Brighton's possibilities but the results speaks for itself, I knew it was going to be a tough game after Manchester United eliminated them from the FA Cup, last night was Brighton’s pay back.

I also think it's worth it. And it looks like Brighton has confirmed they will get 1 UEL place next season. Moreover, Brighton still has two matches left (32 games) and Brighton's points are now 55 points in 6th place, and Brighton still has the chance to rise to 5th place to replace Liverpool because Liverpool have played 34 matches with 59 points.

While the position below Brighton is Tottenham in 7th place with 54 points, 8th place Aston Villa with 54 points, and 9th place Brentford with 50 points, and Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford have both played 34 match. This means that with Brighton's advantage they still have 2 matches left because now Brighton has only played 32 matches with 55 points won, it will be difficult for the ranks below to catch up to enter the UEL zone.

I knew it was going to be a tough game after Manchester United eliminated them from the FA Cup, last night was Brighton’s pay back.

Upon reviewing the remaining fixtures in this season's league, Manchester United's defeat against Brighton yesterday does not pose a significant issue, as Man Utd still holds a 4-point lead and one remaining match over Liverpool, who are currently in the 5th position. It is certain that Man Utd will secure a spot in the Champions League this season. I believe that is an achievable target, as it is impossible to chase Manchester City's points and win the league.
In my estimation, Manchester United's performance is unlikely to falter just because of yesterday's defeat. Moreover, the goal occurred during injury time and was scored through a penalty kick,.

[Altryist]

While the position below Brighton is Tottenham in 7th place with 54 points, 8th place Aston Villa with 54 points, and 9th place Brentford with 50 points, and Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford have both played 34 match. This means that with Brighton's advantage they still have 2 matches left because now Brighton has only played 32 matches with 55 points won, it will be difficult for the ranks below to catch up to enter the UEL zone.

All Brighton can do is secure a foothold in zone, that allowing them to play in the EL, even though they have games in hand they won't be able to get higher than 5th place. Newcastle and Manchester United look out of reach, in the remaining 5 matches they will not lose their positions. Now Potter is watching Brighton play and thinking that agreeing to be Chelsea manager might not have been the best idea. But on the other hand, he got a great experience, and also had the opportunity to play in the Champions League, and even beat Dortmund.

This was a big hit to Manchester United while they were trying to keep their presence in top 4. Liverpool are in a better situation thanks to this loss indeed.

Apart from the absence of the first team defenders, I don’t really think Manchester United would have won that game. Brighton were playing with too much urgency and determination. The style of play of Brighton is so marvel to watch, the build up from the back they play in departments like Manchester city. Even in the FA cup game, Brighton were   determined to win hat game on normal time. They just ran out of luck. Now Manchester United will struggle to make the top 4 with Liverpool coming up. The gap between them aren’t much anymore. Any more slip up from Manchester United will give Liverpool the edge and they’ll make the UCL spot.

[püsür]

Pathetic, bad result for Man United. I think they are looking for a draw. But Var made them lose. If I look at the replay, it is indeed Luke Shaw's hand hit by the ball. This is similar to the incident of the first game when they played at Man United. Man United were awarded a penalty in the final minute. Dropping points gives Newcastle a greater chance of entering the UCL zone. Man United were threatened by Liverpool who had an improved performance. Their points difference is only four. If Man United are not careful, they can be shifted into the Europa League zone.

Basically, Newcastle does have a very good chance of finishing in the top four, because at the start of the season or in the first half of this season, Newcastle played and were in a very good position in the standings. So naturally, in the end Newcastle returned to being strong in the top four, because at the same time Manchester United experienced a decline in performance.

Also, in the match against Brighton I think Manchester United is still trying to win but unfortunately, Brighton's performance has also been very good recently so Manchester United was unlucky in this match because they failed to get points. With this result, Brighton also has a big chance of being able to get a Europa League ticket. Considering the developments that Brighton has successfully had, Brighton certainly deserves to play in the Europa League next season.

Newcastle United and Brighton have done great things as a team this season. It is not an easy thing in the world's most difficult league to go up from being a middle and lower rank team to appearing in the European arena with their victories at the beginning of the league against big teams. These are performances to be applauded. Brighton is a very enjoyable team to watch. They should be in the European cups next year. There are names that they cannot possibly hold in their hands, especially Mitoma and Mac Allister. As can be seen in the examples of Cucurella, Ben White, Trossard, and Bissouma, they like to sell for high prices and star new names instead. I would like to watch this squad in European cups with the additions without spoiling, but it seems like their coaches and stars will go next year.

It is certain that Man Utd will secure a spot in the Champions League this season. I believe that is an achievable target, as it is impossible to chase Manchester City's points and win the league.
In my estimation, Manchester United's performance is unlikely to falter just because of yesterday's defeat. Moreover, the goal occurred during injury time and was scored through a penalty kick,.

That's exactly what they should be worried about, feeling fine but Liverpool made an unexpected move. The difference of 4 points is not difficult if you look at Liverpool performance today, which has performed well several times. Victory was achieved in the last 5 matches, even Arsenal lost narrowly even though they were able to get up.

It should be noted that Manchester United needs to be more aware of the threat behind them and the rest of the game is not easy to win with such an inconsistent squad. West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Fulham have the potential to hinder The Red Devils at the end of the season. A ticket to the Champions League final is something that is always contested, especially since the difference with Liverpool is only 4 points, which means that Liverpool only needs to maintain its winning trend.

[Unsoldier]

Damn Manchester United disappointed me because they lost to Brighton 1-0 where the goal came in the last minute of the second half.
With this defeat, the multi bet I made failed.\

It was a really sad defeat for Manchester United with a last-minute defeat and with this penalty spot being a handball checked by VAR, with this incident Manchester United was a little out of luck.
I have already said that multi-bet a lot is indeed difficult.
~~~

I wasn't expecting Manchester City to lose at all. Brighton looked better in that game, so they deserved to win.

I hope de Gea is ok. He hit the ball with his face after Mitomo's shot in the opening minutes of the match. I thought he was going to have to be replaced. Hopefully de Gea won't miss the next matches because of that.

[swogerino]

While the position below Brighton is Tottenham in 7th place with 54 points, 8th place Aston Villa with 54 points, and 9th place Brentford with 50 points, and Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford have both played 34 match. This means that with Brighton's advantage they still have 2 matches left because now Brighton has only played 32 matches with 55 points won, it will be difficult for the ranks below to catch up to enter the UEL zone.

All Brighton can do is secure a foothold in zone, that allowing them to play in the EL, even though they have games in hand they won't be able to get higher than 5th place. Newcastle and Manchester United look out of reach, in the remaining 5 matches they will not lose their positions. Now Potter is watching Brighton play and thinking that agreeing to be Chelsea manager might not have been the best idea. But on the other hand, he got a great experience, and also had the opportunity to play in the Champions League, and even beat Dortmund.

For Brighton that would be a huge achievement to play in any European competition.I am sure in the beginning of the season if they were asked which were their objectives they would have said to play beautiful football and to continue staying in the Premier League.So for Brighton is something great to achieve,we have seen West Ham doing pretty well in Europa Conference league this season while they are on the semi final and next season who knows where can Brighton go.

I agree Potter made an error going to Chelsea as I don't think that experience will count much for his next assignment no matter that he even did beat Dortmund there,overall his experience was bad,the same as that of Lampard now which together they have ruined Chelsea during this season.

[Pokapoka124]

Brighton deserved to win this match. They dominated the entire match. Brighton dominated possession throughout the match. But unfortunately Brighton played very well in the whole match but could not score any goal till 90+4 minutes of the game.  Both teams worked tirelessly for 90+4 minutes but neither team could capitalize on the opportunity. The match between Brighton and Man United had a 99% chance of a draw.  But in the dying stages of the game, Brighton got a penalty short. Brighton football team took advantage of that opportunity to win the match 1-0

Brighton will be satisfied with the result because they fought so hard and deserved that late winner in the game. Manchester United failed to take the chances created, it is disappointing that they had to concede a goal in the final minutes of the game. I'm sure after the end of the game last night, Manchester United would have appreciated a draw if they got one. The race for top four spot is heated up and Newcastle, Tottenham and Liverpool are all looking for a place in third and fourth champions league qualification spot, I just hope Manchester United can keep their position until the end of the season.

[KTChampions]

Bookmakers see this game like this:

3.35 - 3.55 - 2.16

Chelsea actually have a slight advantage and if you look at the recent games of the teams, we should bet on Bournemouth. But I plan to bet with a -1 handicap on Chelsea because I don't think we'll see better odds in games like this. Whatever the position of the teams in the standings, Chelsea's status is clear and a team like Bournemouth will never be a favorite against Chelsea.

Whether Bournemouth is the favorite against Chelsea or not is not so important. Here the value is a victory, and Bournemouth is quite capable of getting it. Personally, I will be rooting for Bournemouth in tomorrow's match, as this team has been showing very strong will and character lately. In football, past merits and the loud name of the team are not important. The only thing that matters is what the team can demonstrate on the football field.

Although Chelsea have a slight advantage with an extra game in hand, if you look at their recent matches, it is a nightmare: the last games in team-level scoring since the very end of the Premier League. With such an approach, it will be difficult to stay on the same positions.

I think that you and I use the word "value" in completely different senses  I don't see any value in betting on Bournemouth at a measly 3.35 odds. A bet on Chelsea with a handicap would be 4.33. And in favor of Chelsea, it is not historical merits that speak, but the simple fact that they have a much stronger team than Bournemouth. And by the way, a series of failures is also in favor of Chelsea - after all, any series is finite.

[baeva]

It's worth admitting that Arsenal can be unstable, so an unexpected loss to Manchester City won't change the situation in the table, in my opinion. As for 90+ points, I think that's achievable. Manchester City don't have such difficult opponents in their remaining matches, I would even say easy ones, and it would be too frustrating to lose to them.

there are no easy matches in epl all teams can have a chance to win, this is quite a competitive league it is difficult to say early that they have an easy way in the upcoming matches. I admit that the Manchester City team is highly favored against the opponents they face in the upcoming match. however something else can happen if they get carried away with the current situation which could be bad for them.

one of the things I like about them in every match is scoring goals and scoring goals so no doubt if they continue to do this in future matches I think they will be difficult to beat by their opponents.

Perhaps the unpredictability of the English premier league is what makes it interesting, especially when it's the strongest league, where the competition is terrifying. Assuming the MC win their next game, Arsenal are already 4 points behind, which is a lot in the current situation. That would mean that for Arsenal to win they would need the MC to at least lose and draw. But even under these conditions on goal difference, the MC will still be champions

I wasn't expecting Manchester City to lose at all. Brighton looked better in that game, so they deserved to win.

Man City? Do you mean Man United? 
Brighton often gives a hard challenge for big teams in EPL, especially when they played at home. So, it is actually not really surprising if Man United can be defeated by them. Sure, they deserved to win, they played better in the match. Just take a look at the stats!!

I hope de Gea is ok. He hit the ball with his face after Mitomo's shot in the opening minutes of the match. I thought he was going to have to be replaced. Hopefully de Gea won't miss the next matches because of that.

I don't saw any news about De Gea's condition lately. I assume he is okay, no serious problem.
Although he got injured, there is another good GK in Man United (Jack Butland). So, it is not a big problem for Man United for the next matches.
