Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[$crypto$]

Both clubs will definitely be going all out especially for Manchester City as this could complement them in the candidate of the strongest club in England after the Treble obtained.
On the other hand Arsenal also do not want to succumb continuously after last season they must be willing to lose several times to Manchester City including the trophy that was won.



The current odds still clearly show that Manchester City are still very favorite in this match and I don't even hesitate to keep my bet on Manchester City.

Yes this is going to be an interesting match will their entire main squad go down completely? I don't think Arsenal will be taken lightly Now that they have improved in terms of the quality of their players, but there will be a slight difference between the dominance of the game and Man City being more aggressive than Arsenal from my point of view, but in the FA Community shield you want to see them play fiercely.

Man City are obviously more favourites because bookies will definitely offer bigger for Arsenal and this is far different from The Man City odds, of course its bigger odds on Pep Guardiola's men maybe also I will place a bet there.

What happened? even Arsenal don't deserve to win with that many odds and manchester city is back in the favor with their achievements last season. I think anything can still happen in this community shield final match because the two teams improve each other on their squad depth and I think for Arsenal they can still win this title if they don't make any mistakes.

Meanwhile, Manchester City will certainly win its 4th title if there are no problems after being left to leave by Gundogan and Mahrez. It might be quite difficult in my opinion to predict who will win but what is clear is that everyone will attack each other and be relentless in this match, so I will just take the over goal bet to be safer.

FA Community Shield : Arsenal vs Manchester City

Two days left before super big match between Arsenal vs Manchester City in FA Community shield, due Manchester City won Premier League and FA Cup tittles last season automatically Arsenal who finished on 2nd placed standing will meet in FA Community Shield. All predicting favorite Manchester City easily winning FA Community Shield in this season due their record head to head always win against Arsenal, but current pre season matches, Manchester City have poor performance after losing against Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal hasn't impressive performance in pre season match, but couldn't be comparison because difference level between pre season and FA Community Shield match, based on your prediction who will get first tittle in this season "Arsenal or Manchester City"

From the last head to head they both had in the past Manchester City have the upper hand since the management of Pep Guardiola was introduced.
This will be a big game because Arsenal has improved tjis is yet another chance for Arteta to try and defeat Pep.
They have improvement within the squad and with City having two of their good players out they still intact and solid, Arsenal will win this game because they are a better side than City when it comes to community shield games. But Pep would want to add more silverware. Arsenal will miss Gabriel Jesus in this game on Sunday due to Injury but Haaland will be fit to play.

well, Manchester city is definitely the favorite of the bookies due to their past record, and many gamblers out there are definitely going to be betting on Manchester city for the same reason as well , but then, agree with you, Arsenal has improved in the quality of players they have now, but then, we can conclude yet until this match is over, lets really see what stuff they've got themselves equipped with in preparation for the new season , this is sure going to be an interesting match to watch, but i wont be putting up a single bet on matches like this just yet, i will wait and see how both team plays, that will determine which team to bet for in their next matches.

Andre and Lavia are the current candidates for defensive midfield position at Liverpool. Actually Liverpool have made multiple offers for Lavia already as far as I know. But there is no agreement yet. Liverpool are looking for only young players for this position as it seems. I hope the new player to fill Fabinho's place can play at least as good as him.

Interestingly there is still nobody on their radar when it comes to a striker. They have Nunez but there is nobody else in the subs to replace him strongly. Klopp tried Gakpo sometimes but it wouldn't be a good idea. After Firmino's departure they had better fill his place too.

I’m pretty worried about this Liverpool team. Defensively they need to reinforce straight away. They conceded a lot of goals last season and now they’ve lost two of their most experienced defensive midfielders without replacing them. I just how they’re able to get the players they’re linked to before the window ends. Lavia is a good player, a second bid has been rejected but I’m confident that Liverpool will get this deal done with with the 3rd bid.

Coach kloop has to sign new midfield immediately before the end of the transfer, they sold Henderson and Fabinho to Saudia Arabia pro league clubs and they are yet to find new players to replace them immediately.

Kloop has to strengthen his squad,no excuse if he fail to redeem Liverpool to champions league football next season again.

This match will be a bit difficult for Manchester City. Some players have left Manchester City but maximum players are still fit which is very good news for Manchester City. Manchester City will definitely field their best XI against Arsenal and they will definitely be thinking of winning against Arsenal.

Manchester City will play for the purpose of winning against Arsenal. At the same time, City's performance against Arsenal has been very good. Manchester City have won all of their last 5 meetings against Arsenal. In these 5 matches, City scored 15 goals and conceded only 3 goals. Considering the statistics, Manchester City can be considered as favourites.

Both clubs will definitely be going all out especially for Manchester City as this could complement them in the candidate of the strongest club in England after the Treble obtained.
On the other hand Arsenal also do not want to succumb continuously after last season they must be willing to lose several times to Manchester City including the trophy that was won.

The current odds still clearly show that Manchester City are still very favorite in this match and I don't even hesitate to keep my bet on Manchester City.

I am hesitant to bet on this match. Manchester City and Arsenal are not weak teams. The two best clubs in the Premier League. And both now have strong squads. I would have preferred Manchester City if they had played well against Atletico Madrid in their last friendly match. Despite many attacks, Manchester City players could not break the defense of Atletico Madrid. Manchester City lost 2-1 in the match. That's why it's impossible to say for sure whether City will do well against Arsenal, so I'd probably hold myself back from betting on this match. However, seeing the starting XI of both the teams at the last minute, I may be able to place a bet. I am very confused about this match.

How do we know in friendly matches that the field game does not match our prediction. In the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona we put Real Madrid ahead but Real Madrid lost that match, in the next match Real Madrid against Juventus we put Real Madrid ahead but Real Madrid lost against Juventus and Manchester City lost to Atletico Madrid.
 
After two days, there is a match of Manchester City vs Arsenal, considering the previous match, it is dangerous to keep Manchester City ahead, so it is a difficult decision to bet on this match. Even if I bet on this match I will bet shortly after the match starts I dare not bet on this match before the match starts.

Even though what you said is true considering they are two big clubs but on the other hand when looking at H2H Manchester City is clearly the favorite for now.
Indeed, when looking at friendly matches, maybe this time it can be used as a benchmark but in my opinion it also cannot be a complete reference because friendly matches are once again only a trial for several clubs and this match will obviously be very much different and I am quite confident with Manchester City.

Both clubs will definitely be going all out especially for Manchester City as this could complement them in the candidate of the strongest club in England after the Treble obtained.

Performing with a full squad I think this is still possible. even though the Community Shield is not as popular as other competitions but still this is the start that they must win in order to have confidence as well as a warm-up to welcome the first week in the EPL.
In addition, if they perform a good game in the Community Shield this will also arouse passion after we sleep considering the competition is closed.

Coach kloop has to sign new midfield immediately before the end of the transfer, they sold Henderson and Fabinho to Saudia Arabia pro league clubs and they are yet to find new players to replace them immediately.

Liverpool already signed Mac Allister from Brighton and Szoboszlai from Leipzig, two very young midfiders of ages 24 and 22 respectively, thus Liverpool have recruited two midfielders who will serve them for quite a long time if both parties continue to stay on the same page.

I think Liverpool need at least one extra midfielfer and a right back, Jurgen Klopp might decide to play Trent in midfield this new season, and if that happen, they will need someone to replace him at right back, anyway, we have over 3 weeks before the transfer window will be shut, so i expect 1 or 2 signings more from Liverpool.

[Unknown Op]

It's a good bet choice and I also plan to do the same, Now it's very difficult to predict who will win this game because both teams have improved for the better and I think the current strength of the two teams is not much different, Arsenal and Manchester City have competed been tight since last season and of course this time it will be too.
Arsenal have added several new players at this time and made this team much more solid, while Man City did not make many changes but Pep Guardiolaala's team is indeed strong enough despite being left behind by several key players, maybe that's why it makes it a little difficult for me to predicting who will win this match, and I think for the choice of betting on both teams to score I think it's very appropriate.

You seem to have a lot riding on the upcoming Community Shield championship match between the Cityzens and the Gunners. The conflict between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola his former coach adds a fascinating layer. The odds point to a challenge for Arsenal but you have chosen a balanced strategy by placing a wager on both teams to score rather than merely the overall victor. Changes in dynamics and strategies will probably result from the influx of new signing and the departure of important players. Due to Arsenal steadfastness in breaking their pattern versus Man city this match may include surprise and intense competition.

[Furious 7]

Manchester City have been losing the Community Shield title to their opponents for two seasons. It is up to being completely ready for the new season too of course. But I don't think this time will be the same with those seasons. The opponent Arsenal are a tough team on paper maybe. But we are talking about Manchester City.

As long as the players are ready Manchester City should be able to win this game by a dominant performance. But I don't expect a big goal gap as it is the beginning of the season already. My score prediction is 2-1. Winning this title would be the strongest way to start this season.

The last time Manchester City won the Community Shield was in 2019 and that was 3 years ago although as you said in the last 2 seasons they were always there, it's just that they had to be willing to lose to Leicester and Liverpool.
This is their chance in 3 consecutive seasons, so it would be a shame if this is allowed to pass by.
Arsenal and Manchester City already know where each other's strengths are, but Manchester City are clearly superior in terms of h2h.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how they will destroy each other.
My expectation for this match is that they will play to the best of their abilities.

[nara1892]

Arsenal hasn't impressive performance in pre season match, but couldn't be comparison because difference level between pre season and FA Community Shield match, based on your prediction who will get first tittle in this season "Arsenal or Manchester City"

Manchester City always been a counter for Arsenal because Arsenal never won against Manchester City in the last season. Since Arsenal is still build their squad, so I expect this will be an easy win for Manchester City.

This will be a good test for Rice if he's really worth for $100 Million Euros or not, he must able to stop Haaland.

I predict the score will be 3-1 favor on Manchester City.

This match will definitely be very interesting, as said, the two teams have a pretty tight rivalry especially throughout last season. Manchester City were able to dominate the victory in every match and they shifted the position of Arsenal who had long survived at the top of the table, it was unexpected but that was the reality. Last season Arsenal were lacking in some of their reserve players so they lost a lot of balance. For now we all know Arsenal have made a lot of improvements, Arteta has brought in some new ammunition to strengthen his team. Well one of the things I want to see is the performance of Declan Rice, Arteta has managed to bring him at a fantastic price and in a few days we will witness his performance, I hope he will not disappoint Arsenal fans. Finally if I have to predict it looks like Manchester City still has a great chance to win here because they are still very strong, but we'll see the results of the match.

Predicting the outcome of the Man City vs Arsenal match is now a little more difficult. Especially after we saw Man City yesterday had to lose to Atletico Madrid. Actually, what makes it difficult for us to predict is whether Man City will use full strength or not.

If Man City is using its full strength or in the sense that this club is playing with maximum performance then of course I would prefer to bet on Man City without worrying about anything. But at the moment we don't know if Pep will use his best strategy or not.

Seems Chelsea are now moving away from signing Caicedo from Brighton. They are interested in Leandro Paredes as another alternative midfielder with Edson Alvarez and Tyler Adams. But honestly I'm intrigued to know how Caceido feels in all of these seeing that Brighton have more or less stopped him from moving for like two consecutive windows now. Brighton are behaving somehow. They'd soon have the spurs reputation when it comes to transfers. But on flip side, I think they're tired of selling their talents.

Caicedo was over priced and leaving him is the best choice by the club. Caicedo's stat was not so good. I don't even know how this guy being priced 100 millions.



Caicedo already told brighton to leave from the club this summer but it seems like that the seagulls was not let him leaving with cheap price. I heard that if there was also another club that has been sending more than 80m bid for caicedo.
Chelsea will not be so hard in finding an alternative player for him. I would not paredes was bad but to be honest if he is still far from my expectation. Chelsea shall get a great midfielder.

I do support the club to get valverde from real madrid and chelsea must able to find someone who can perform the same like valverde. Valverde is far better than paredes. I don't even know why chelsea was moving to the paredes. His performance is unstable and his stat was not so good as well.

Only Trent Arnold has filled in at right-back so far. If Trent is played in the middle as a midfielder by Jurgen Klopp, then the right-back position will be vacant. I hope that as long as the player transfer window is still open, Liverpool will need additional right-backs to anticipate Trent being absent. Jurgen Klopp often plays Gomez to replace Trent Arnold. For me it won't be as effective even if Gomez can play on the right.

In the midfield (midfield) it is enough if it is impossible for Liverpool to get because it is already balanced, two in (Mac Allister and Szoboslai) and two out (Henderson and Fabinho) because in the middle position there is still a more senior Thiago.

Since Arsenal and Manchester City both performed poorly in preseason games and lost—Arsenal was defeated by Manchester United and Manchester City was also defeated by Atletico Madrid,I can't really predict who will win, who will win the title, or who will not qualify for the champion league the following season.

Manchester city loss against Atletico Madrid and Arsenal loss against Manchester United those not mean that the two clubs are not going to qualify for champions league next season. these is just a preseason match, am sure their will be difference when the season start, much effort is not always put in preseason matches, i still believe both Manchester city and Arsenal are still in good form and they are both going to perform well next season. Arsenal will be playing against Manchester city on August 6, am not really expecting anything special from the two clubs, but am having confidence that Manchester city is going to win the match.

Since certain teams are in good shape, such as Chelsea right now, whose performance is excellent right now and which also defeated every team they faced in their preseason game, the premier league will be very competitive. This demonstrates that Chelsea has returned to its previous status, and it will be excellent if the other clubs treat the upcoming Premier League with seriousness; if not, Chelsea will take home the title.

Next season won't be easy for any club, and it will be more competitive compare to last season, lots of clubs have made new signing, no club should be underestimated next season, because even the clubs that performed poorly last season will suprise everyone next season. I think I like the way Mauricio Pochettino is trying to rebuild Chelsea, and Chelsea performance in all the preseason matches they played was nice, let's just hope they will continue with their good performance when the season start.

I'm sure Man City will easily win the Super Cup... Arsenal have a lot of changes in the team right now and haven't had time to get things right... City are a machine now and nothing can stop them... Maybe Arsenal can score one goal, but I'm sure City will do it several times... The 1.75 odds are a good opportunity to profit...

It's surprising how a regular player is over exaggerated in both the club and the transfer market. The club has satisfactory bidding, but it's considerably greater for a player who has yet to play in elite competition and is regarded alongside top players. I would have recommended my favorite club to withdraw from the race and concentrate on the other clubs. Chelsea has good quality players this season, and the board has everything in place to bring them in. Chelsea should abandon their pursuit of Brighton's Moises Caicedo this summer. The Seagulls' refusal to let Moises Caicedo leave the club, after consenting to allowing him depart this summer, indicates that they are waiting for beneficial bids from other teams in order to make substantial profits from him.

[BRINIRHA]

I'm sure Man City will easily win the Super Cup... Arsenal have a lot of changes in the team right now and haven't had time to get things right... City are a machine now and nothing can stop them... Maybe Arsenal can score one goal, but I'm sure City will do it several times... The 1.75 odds are a good opportunity to profit...

I don't think so, this is all different, Arsenal has improved a lot better while Man City was left with several players, in terms of strength Manchester City is still strong but Arsenal should not be underestimated.
Last season, the competition between these two teams was very fierce, and so is this time, I think both teams still have the same chance to win this match and win the first title this season.

This time Arsenal really can not be underestimated. In the pre-season match against Barcelona I saw something different from the game shown by Arsenal. Arsenal can win this game pretty well. Arsenal became more effective in taking advantage of the opportunities they got. Unlike Arsenal, which I saw in the pre-season match against Man United. In the match against Man United, Arsenal were really weak in finishing attacks. But Artera seems to have fixed this weakness and it was immediately proven in the match against Barcelona which brought Arsenal to a 5-3 win. Many say pre-season matches are not important. But I personally think the fight is important. Because we can see what progress or improvement the club has shown in each different match.

Arsenal can indeed be stronger than last season. But because the opponent we are talking about is Man City. Then of course the majority of us would even bet without hesitation on Man City. But maybe I'll have a little fun by betting a little on Arsenal.

[giammangiato]

Guardiola is a great coach he knows which players have good potential for his club and that is why he was not wrong to bring Haaland to Manchester City and eventually became the top scorer in the EPL with 36 goals and succeeded in bringing Manchester City to a treble winner, Guardiola is always right in his looking for talented players he even has a keen instinct in analyzing players.

He placed the players in the Manchester City squad in the right positions so they could be solid when playing on the field, therefore Haaland has become more passionate when playing in Manchester City since Guardiola brought him from Dortmund to Manchester City. I think Haaland will give his best game again in this season which will start soon in the near future.

Pep Guardiola is a not bad strategist and talent scout, then let is say that he also has strategist skills and above all as a psychologist
Players with him perform better because maybe he has a way of dealing with them that brings out the best in every player
Without a strong propensity for psychology I dont see how such a miracle could happen with some problematic players

Last season, the competition between these two teams was very fierce, and so is this time, I think both teams still have the same chance to win this match and win the first title this season.

I would probably agree with you that both clubs have equal chances... But it seems to me that Man City are much stronger than Arsenal and they have a huge motivation after all the victories last season to start the new season with another cup... They managed to knock Arsenal out of first place in the EPL... I think they can do it again in the Super Cup...
