Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Bananington]

Brighton have given Manchester city a good fight tonight, after conceding the first goal early in the first half Brighton have reacted bravely and pushed City back, creating good chances and converting one to make the scoresheet 1-1. I just love the spirit and confidence Brighton are displaying tonight against the league’s champions, if they win tonight, it will be well deserved for Brighton because they have pushed so hard for it.

Brighton maintains their record this season as a team that has given big clubs plenty issues this season. They totally got Manchester City frustrated even Pep. Erling Haaland was brought in to score and save the day for Pep, he did but had his goal disqualified for pulling the shirt of the Brighton player. While it may seem like something that players easily get away with easily every other day, when it is goal decision, everything counts. Manchester City take one point from this game including Brighton, a very important point for them still against playing in a European competition next season.

I just love the spirit and confidence Brighton are displaying tonight against the league’s champions, if they win tonight, it will be well deserved for Brighton because they have pushed so hard for it.

The game is almost getting to an end and Brighton is still fighting to get at least a draw from this game. I am very pleased with the style of play of the Brighton team. Roberto De Zerbi has built an attacking team that shows no respect to any team. They have kept on attacking in this game and they have also coupled it with good defending. A draw in this game will be a good result for Brighton because they will end up playing in the Europa League regardless of the outcome of their last game against Aston Villa.

Aston Villa will have to win the game because if Tottenham gets a win against Brentford on Sunday, the former might lose the Europa Conference League qualifiers slot to the latter. Congratulations to the club that lost a coach and some key players and still got a Europa League position with many unknown players. And the irony of the whole situation is that the club they lost their former coach and key players to did not even get to the first ten position in the league.

*The match is over. Brighton 1-1 Man City.

Now apart from Manchester City maybe it's Brighton who gets congratulated on their slick achievement this season.
With today's draw against Manchester City it has been confirmed that they will progress to the Europa League next season and it is a very good achievement for Zerbi in his first season at Brighton as coach. In addition, this is the first time they are in the Europa League and of course this makes the fans proud because they have finally reached this position. I was actually a bit doubtful at the start of the season because apart from their coach leaving a lot of their core players left but Brighton have exceeded my expectations this season.

Brighton really played extraordinary. They even made it more difficult for Man City's back line players. And the draw against Man City is also a good thing for Brighton. This will make Brighton a team whose strength will be taken into account in the next season. And I think that Brighton will probably have a higher rating next season. Because as we can see now that this team continues to develop and develop rapidly. their game is getting prominent and stronger.

Even Man City, who played Haaland and De Bruyne, could not make Brighton lose this match. Well, even though Man City doesn't seem too ambitious to win this match. It's just that seeing how Brighton builds attacks and defends is enough for me to give Brighton a high rating. sharing 1 point is the best for this fight. although the two teams don't seem too concerned about the points won in this match.

[Woodie]

Manchester City started the game pretty well against Brighton and they scored the first goal but against Haaland had an effect on the first goal of this game but after that, Brighton scored three goals!  

Earlier on City played well and looked like a walkover was written all over this , but with several wasted chances by Halaad this allowed Brighton but in the game who were in search of a point to have a guaranteed Europa spot which they got after holding current league leaders to a one all score line.

And seeing that most of city's  first choice players were in today's game and brought an average performance , am starting to have my doubts if they can make a treble of cups this season....

Brighton have given Manchester city a good fight tonight, after conceding the first goal early in the first half Brighton have reacted bravely and pushed City back, creating good chances and converting one to make the scoresheet 1-1. I just love the spirit and confidence Brighton are displaying tonight against the league’s champions, if they win tonight, it will be well deserved for Brighton because they have pushed so hard for it.

Said it like a true sportsman/woman  and credit must go were its due and I think admit..to some extent Manchester city went to sleep during the game which allowed Brighton to have more shots at & on goal and were unlikely to not win against  a relaxed city team.

Brighton was surely confident as they faced City. The game ended in a draw and both team went away with a point each. But I think Brighton is content with coming out of that game with a draw. I bet there would be people who would think City wasn’t motivated enough in trying hard to win having won the league this season.

Brighton by this draw with Manchester City has now qualified for the Europa league. They did play really well and are very happy I’m sure to have qualified for the Europa league next season.
I had thought Manchester City would equalize and win but Brighton showed us that they’re no pushover. I was really impressed with the way they managed playing with the winners of the EPL and defended their goalpost against the City forward which are notoriously famous for scoring goals.

I was actually a bit doubtful at the start of the season because apart from their coach leaving a lot of their core players left but Brighton have exceeded my expectations this season.

I think this surprise expectation of this Brighton teams goes for everyone because nobody actually taught that they can make it this far and at the end of everything they have successfully secured a Europa league spot which is a great achievement for this Brighton team. But I feel the reason why Brighton actually secured a draw today is because this Manchester city team are already champions of England and needs to rest some vital player for their big match ahead.

[RILWAN]

Congratulations to Brighton tonight as we're able to play a draw game with the championship winners and even the premiere top club,  this is a very good game for Brighton as it will be on record that their we're unbeatable by the front runner this time but Played a draw match.

Finally there is also a team that can hold Manchester City from their winning streak in the EPL after their last draw was in February
Even though it's really late but it's really nice to see Manchester City struggling until the end and Brighton are really playing very well and of course Brighton and Zerbi this season destroy the idea that they really can't do anything without Poter and his core players leaving. Now they are preparing for next season's Europa League.

I just love the spirit and confidence Brighton are displaying tonight against the league’s champions, if they win tonight, it will be well deserved for Brighton because they have pushed so hard for it.

Being awhile I saw the Cityzens act so unsure of themselves in a game, but today I saw it done to them by Brighton. An interesting game no doubt but at the end of the day, it ended in a draw.
 With 20 goal attempts and 7 on goal, I expected the game to end in Brighton's favor what with the chances gotten by Welbeck and Mitoma but at least they can be consoled by the 1 point, especially when they would have almost blasted it had Enciso not come to their rescue.

[Alpha Marine]

Manchester City started the game pretty well against Brighton and they scored the first goal but against Haaland had an effect on the first goal of this game but after that, Brighton scored three goals!  
However, two goals were not accepted by the VAR but still, they had enough opportunity to score these goals and they had enough chance against a team like Manchester City which is really interesting for me.
I think if they play like this in the second half we can even see Brighton winning this game against Manchester City.

This is what happens when a team has already won the league and they have two finals to play. I said earlier that teams that have already won the league and have nothing to fight for don't take it as seriously as they used to before they won the league. It's not like they want to lose, but they just won't play as they used to.
In the case of Manchester City, they even need to rest their players and make sure they are physically and mentally ready for the finals ahead.

That being said, you have to give it to Brighton because of the way they played. They played like people that really needed the point. They had more goal attempts and more shots on goal than City, which is very impressive knowing the kind of team that City is. Brighton got a point out of the draw and that draw secured their Europa League spots. So Brighton will be playing in the Europa League next season.

Brighton performance this season is unbelievable and picking a european championship ticket next season is well deserved. They've showed a lot of stellar performance this season against big oppositions and today's game against City is no different. When City scored and Brighton equalize in the first half, I thought City were still going to win the game but Brighton held there grounds and defended very well and also had some couple of good attempts on goal.

Hmmm.... I don't agree with you here my friend. If that be the case, why didn't Manchester City rest of their most important players like Haaland, Debruyne, Gundogan? The thing is Brighton's home is like a fortress, they rarely lost while playing at home this season. I think they have only lost 2 games at home this season.

[lalabotax]

Finally there is also a team that can hold Manchester City from their winning streak in the EPL after their last draw was in February

It's possible that Man City is not too insistent in their last matches in the EPL. Because of the results, they remain EPL title holders. What they are focused on is how to keep their players fit, so that no one gets injured for the sake of the UCL final which is their focus at the moment.

What is still quite interesting is the match between Man United and Chelsea. If Man United can beat Chelsea, their ranking will rise to replace Newcastle. Maybe this doesn't really matter because after all, Man United has also qualified for the UCL, but surely there will be pride in itself if you can finish in the top 3 of the EPL, right?

But I feel the reason why Brighton actually secured a draw today is because this Manchester city team are already champions of England and needs to rest some vital player for their big match ahead.

Indeed. No one thinks Brighton will end the season in the top 6 because they are a small team in EPL. With their current squad, it is very amazing that they can beat some top clubs in EPL. That is unpredictable, some top clubs can't get their target because they were defeated by Brighton. In the next season, I am sure no team in EPL will underestimate Brighton anymore.  

Yes, they will play in Europa League, it is a great achievement for this team. I expect they will get bigger achievements in the next season.

Regarding the match today, surely Man City didn't play with their all effort because they still have a final UCL match. All the players must need to have good condition in the final UCL match. So, Guardiola gave the instruction to all players to prioritize their fitness over winning an EPL match. The results of EPL matches won't affect anything.

[Uruhara]

Congratulations to Brighton tonight as we're able to play a draw game with the championship winners and even the premiere top club,  this is a very good game for Brighton as it will be on record that their we're unbeatable by the front runner this time but Played a draw match.

Correct. the draw that Brighton got might even raise their reputation. And Man City is the holder of the title last season and this season. and currently Man City is also a finalist in the FA Cup and in the UCL. so being able to hold a strong team like Man City to a draw is a pretty good achievement. Even in that match Pep played their reliable players. I expect Brighton to have a better performance next season. and for this season there is only 1 game left. namely against Aston Villa. and I think Brighton will be the favorites in that game.

I think the game played out in Brighton's favour because the league winners Manchester city didn't show total level of seriousness because they are league champions already but at least they maintained good performance by not conceding more than 1 goal and not losing the game too because Brighton mounted a lot of pressure on their defense. Everyone felt the game would end in favour of Brighton because of the number of chances they created but they were lucky that Manchester city's second goal that was scored by Erling Haaland was later cancelled otherwise it would have been a victory for Manchester city even after the beautiful performance of Brighton

Brighton became the most impressive team in the second half of this season because they were able to provide very exciting resistance against strong teams at the top of the standings.  they had 3 pretty strong matches in the last 3 matches in which Brighton was able to beat arsenal and draw against manchester city in this match but they lost badly when they faced Newcastle United. But so far they have been strong enough at home which makes it difficult for their opponents to get full points at their home ground.

But Halland goal was annulled by the referee for a violation otherwise Manchester City will get 3 points again in this match. But Manchester City had locked the title in the previous match so they didn't play more aggressively like the previous match. Even so, Manchester City winning trend is still quite impressive because they are able to maintain it unbeaten.

This could also be one of the reasons but still looking at Brighton's performance in this match it is already very good.
I was thinking of something different for the second half from Manchester City but indeed it looks like they are satisfied with the result and not doing anything bigger than Pep is in favor of Brighton.
1 point in this game is enough for them to secure a place in the Europa League next season and of course that is a very good thing for them.

Sometimes it was a high speed back and forth between Brighton and Manchester City and the game would have probably deserved more goals (or more valid goals).

Since the game was not about anything anymore, they didn't really try that hard until the 94th minute to win it. But Manchester City had their chances and I was of the impression that they wanted to win that game to cross the 90 points mark again this season. They still have one chance to do it and even though some people could think that it is not important anymore, I believe that seasons in the Premier League with 90 points and even more are special and memorable. They are anyway when you win the title, but 90 points and then one day the 100 points mark could still be a goal.

A point is better than none. This one-point addition to Brighton's side has now helped them to finally say ''they made it to Europa League'' next season. They can now have a relaxed mind that even if they win or lose in their last match in the premier league, they have qualified for the Europa League next season. That's the happiest part of it after they thought that they can't make it to the top due to a change of coach.
