Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[gabbie2010]

Yesterday I didn't watch the Arsenal vs Man U match to the end and switched it off after Man U's goal wasn't counted due to VAR... Now I looked at the stats of the game and saw that Arsenal managed to score two goals in the last minutes... Shame I missed the most interesting moments... It really was a great game...

Honestly the VAR call up was almost in favor of Man Utd if not the slight body inward push of Gabriel Magalhães that helped Arsenal, had that goal stayed and ruled in favour of Man Utd it would have been difficult for Arsenal to comeback though they dominated the match and took most of the possessions, Man Utd would have sit back and play defensive tactics while launching counter attack, of course in matches of high profile between top teams it's not over until the final whistle, recall Arsenal played very pressed hard to score their winning goal yet couldn't score during the regulation time until during the extra time, honestly try and watch the match highlights you would have an idea how the two goals was scored.

Great performance by the Gunners, I never predicted that the game would end this way. When Manchester United got the first goal I assumed that the best result Arsenal would get is a draw. But Ødegaard responded after one minute with a goal and two additional goals in the extra time from Rice and Jesus gave the home team the deserved win. A few minutes of loss of concentration cost United to lose a game that was almost over. Ten points in four games is not a bad result for the Mikel Arteta side.

It was very sad to lose in the last few minutes even though I think Arsenal deserved it. Manchester United failed to live up to my expectations today, but it would have been close had Alejandro Garnacho's goal not been disallowed for offside.

Manchester United's defensive concentration failed after Declan Rice managed to beat Andre Onana for a 2-1 lead, and from then on I thought the game was over because Manchester United had no more chances to score a goal back to equalise. I certainly regret this bad result, but I think all the players have tried their best even though they were not very effective when they had the opportunity.

I was just amazed by how Arsenal managed to win since I completely believed yesterday that Manchester United would defeat arsenal by a score of about 2:0 due to the fact that they also have a new striker. Are the players in Manchester United's defense even afraid of the ball? They will be pulling out the majority of the ball while acting as if their bodies are heavy. Seriously, they do really try, but their defense besides I don't think that Manchester United are ready to lose Harry Maguire yet with the poor performance they are having, he still played. Arsenal Scored two at 90+ Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored their first goals of the season with Manchester United.

It is a shame that it is only Chelsea that is an elite club that is not performing well this season. Liverpool which struggled last season is now second in the EPL table. Darwin Núñez is having a good time in Liverpool, he was just not fortunate to get a goal after his two shots hit the goalpost. Salah has proved why Liverpool said he is not for sale by scoring a goal. Klopp will be pleased with his squad and he has been able to reduce the pressure on the teams.

You know the worst thing about it is that Chelsea will keep on signing players as if they are going to win every trophy in this season when they have only won Luton Town and this is just the beginning of the season, while Liverpool struggled last season, which is not as bad as Chelsea, and this season they are winning all there matches, when caicedo turned down a Liverpool contract thinking he was coming to a winning club, Chelsea have a serious matches coming better they should be serious before they continue loosing this season.

Arsenal were indeed late in scoring a goal, maybe they were looking for the right gap to score a goal and knew the weak point of Manchester United's back line so they could score a goal very easily. Everyone would have thought that this match would end in a draw, but what is clear is that the good performance of the Arsenal players throughout the match is clear evidence that the final score was won by Arsenal 3-1. Arsenal's ability to play well from the start of the match was the key to their success in this match. In my opinion, the midfield and back of the Manchester United team are still very weak, and they are always left behind in Arsenal's counterattacks. It is important to remember that in football there are many factors that can influence the feelings and performance of the players.
Hopefully Manchester United can improve their performance in the next match.

Indeed a late goal for arsenal and I also agree with you that arsenal really study them very well but still I will consider this a narrow win for arsenal, am not surprised to see the game in favour of arsenal because them always take the advantage of extra time to score, although Manchester United also play an incredible game just that their defender are not that strong. Arsenal are very strong now to over power Manchester United because every part side in arsenal are better than man u.

Manchester United will learn from their mistake and correct it in their next match because they are lacking defenders

[Velvet78]

There were so many minutes to be played in the stoppage time and that was enough for Arsenal to score 2 more goals to secure the win. Rice and Gabriel Jesus did a great job in this time period. Manchester United still maintain their inconsistent form.

There were Arsenal fans leaving the stadium in extra time. I think they missed a lot.

Arsenal have a better squad than last season but I'm not sure if Havertz is the ideal player for this team. I think they need a better goalscorer. Arsenal had a lot of scoring chances in this game as well, but they struggled to score. I think this season could have been different for them if they had a better player instead of Havertz.

We watched a beautiful and enjoyable match. It was a match that made us feel that we are in the Premier League. I don't care who wins, Manchester United or Arsenal. I really enjoyed watching the game.

Havertz wasn't convincing at all indeed. He is actually playing in a position that he can be more beneficial. He isn't playing as a striker anymore. But even this doesn't change anything for him for now. His performance is still inadequate which will surely lead him to be criticized. He had better improve his performance as soon as possible.

Of course there have been only a couple of games played so far. However we still need to see Havertz's impact on the game as well in one way. Maybe a goal or an assist but he should be able to make a decent contribution in the long run.

Yesterday I didn't watch the Arsenal vs Man U match to the end and switched it off after Man U's goal wasn't counted due to VAR... Now I looked at the stats of the game and saw that Arsenal managed to score two goals in the last minutes... Shame I missed the most interesting moments... It really was a great game...

U really missed the most interesting part, i also believed it was going to end as a draw so I stopped watching right from the extra minute before the corner kick that resulted to the second goal. The late drama made it more interesting but there have been a lot of controversies by the referees lately but it all part of the game and somedays it will favor your team and other days it will not so i guess we should all get used to it. It was an interesting game.

[Westinhome]

In terms of team play, it was quite balanced, but there was a bit of a luck factor in Arsenal's victory because of mistakes made by Manchester United players who were careless in the final minutes of the match so they had to concede in the final minutes of the match, this was quite painful for Manchester United.
In this match, Ten Hag had to replace two of his defenders due to problems and this will become even more difficult for the team if they have to lose another player due to injury.
This defeat will certainly make the mentality of the Manchester United team even worse and only at the start of the season has Manchester United achieved 2 defeats in the first 4 matches, this is really a bad thing for this team.

The victory of Arsenal was not expected one,because the player of Arsenal should improve their game.The game of Manchester United players till the end of the game was not satisfied one.The injury of the player was unexpected one in Manchester United and they officially lost one player which spread the bad vibes in the team.The Manchester team had lost two games from the four matches was unexpected one.If the team won’t care about the next match results,then they will continue their losses.It’s very important for the Manchester United to do some changes in their team to get the good results in upcoming matches.Arsenal had luck in this match,but it won’t happen in all matches.So Arsenal also need to improve the game.

Now I looked at the stats of the game and saw that Arsenal managed to score two goals in the last minutes... Shame I missed the most interesting moments... It really was a great game...

The defeat experienced by Manchester United made them even more unstable at the start of this season. Manchester United have suffered two defeats so far which has left their ranking below the top 10. Onana quality is still far from expectations because many fans think that De Gea performance is better than him. Manchester United doesn't seem to be strong enough this season because when they faced an equally strong team they failed to win like when they faced Tottenham.

Even after this match, we saw that the Manchester United dressing room seemed to have problems, especially between Erik and Sancho, where the two of them seemed to have a less than harmonious relationship recently. In the previous season Erik also had a less than harmonious relationship with Ronaldo and now with Sancho. I think that's something he has to change to stabilize the level of harmony in the team.

[Adams0001]

The final result of the Arsenal - Manchester United game was 3-1 maybe but this game could have finished even the other way around. Because the Red Devils were so close to getting ahead once again in the last minutes. If that goal by Garnacho wasn't disallowed by VAR because of offside maybe they could have even beaten Arsenal in Emirates.

Many people especially Manchester United fans complained bitterly of that goal that it was not offside but I clearly agree with the officiating of the match by the referee. He really did great by disallowing that goal. Manchester United didn’t play woefully but they were just not lucky to have won more goals in that match.

There were so many minutes to be played in the stoppage time and that was enough for Arsenal to score 2 more goals to secure the win. Rice and Gabriel Jesus did a great job in this time period. Manchester United still maintain their inconsistent form.

I won’t say Manchester United have an inconsistent form, playing against a big team like Arsenal is very difficult for them to have won but they tried their best. The plenty extra time we are witnessing in the league was the new rule set aside that every time wasted during play will be added for extra minute and this is given equal advantage to all teams, mostly the losing team that time. Arsenal played well and deserved the win.

Before now people were  really complaining about VAR, but I was one of those who defended VAR by telling people that it is a new technology that needs a favourable ground to prosper. Although VAR cancelled some vibes of football but I still preferred it to the analogue type of refereeing since it was meant to eradicate mistakes and injustice. But of recent I am doubtful about the VAR and the guys that operates in the VAR room. I have had many reasons to question VAR decisions even last night.  There are some infinitesimal cases that needed to be overlooked for the love of football, but VAR will function better in those cases while neglecting the obvious cases. The disallowed Manchester United goal is a case study.

I think, this is the worst performance Manchester united has performed so far in this new season because many people hope that Manchester united will maintain the one goal to lead the first half, but the first half ended up draw 1-1. Manchester united manager has a lot of work to do to save the team from all those poor performance in this season because their strikers really missed many goals that would have helped them to defeat Arsenal 3-4, but it was a surprised match in few minutes to the end of the match for Arsenal to scored two goals in the second half to defeated Manchester united 3-1 to embraced the three points. Based on what Arsenal players displayed in this match showed that they will still miss this premier league title this season because their midfield is not too strong enough to withstand other strong teams.

The performance of manchester united was not so bad at all. The performance of manchester united has been dropping a lot once ten hag was putting meguire in the game. So many times the fans were disallowing ten hag in putting him in the game caused by meguire was just making MU to lost its points as this guy could do nothing. Playing with meguire is pretty much the same as playing with 10 players. I was aware how the performance of united was very different when meguire and evans were coming in.
It looked like there was a big drop in its performance. Evans and meguire were bad decisions by ten hag. My belief is that if Maguire and Evans are not brought in as substitutes, there was a strong chance that the match would result in a draw.
Ten hag needs to do evaluation to his decision. He shall not blame the player but he must also try to blame himself regarding the decision to put meguire in.

[CryptoBuds]

A great match and a great winning for the gunners as the late goal scored by Rice gave the gunners a perfect win at the perfect time,because it will be impossible for Man United to equalise the goal before the final whistle. I really feel pity for United because they never saw it coming,and all they wanted was a draw. I saw this from the way they played towards the ending of the second half. This was the advantage that Arsenal took and made used of their last chance. I don't feel pity for united because Arsenal won the game from one goal down.

Arsenal extraordinary display defied expectations and thrillingly changed the course of the game. Rice and Jesus scored late goals to give the home team a victory they earned degaard responded quickly. Arsenal managed to win an incredible ten points in four games under Mikel Arteta despite a slight slip in focus. Garnacho goal was controversially disallowed and Manchester United defensive error following Rice score appeared to be the final straw. Even though United may be disappointed with the outcome the players gave it their best even when their efficacy flagged during important situations.

Arsenal may have scored late. Arsenal won 3-1 after 90 minutes with two extra goals. However, the performance of Arsenal players was very good throughout the match. There is no doubt that this team played well from the beginning of the match. The match was very entertaining. I thought maybe the match would end in a 1-1 draw. Diclan Rice's goal gave Arsenal a 2-1 lead. And the third goal was very easy. Manchester United's players did not make much effort to resist Jesus' goal. After watching this match I felt that Manchester United's players lacked confidence.

Arsenal were indeed late in scoring a goal, maybe they were looking for the right gap to score a goal and knew the weak point of Manchester United's back line so they could score a goal very easily. Everyone would have thought that this match would end in a draw, but what is clear is that the good performance of the Arsenal players throughout the match is clear evidence that the final score was won by Arsenal 3-1.

In my opinion, the midfield and back of the Manchester United team are still very weak, and they are always left behind in Arsenal's counterattacks. It is important to remember that in football there are many factors that can influence the feelings and performance of the players.
Hopefully Manchester United can improve their performance in the next match.

Arsenal's players were confident. The bond between the players was very strong. And because of these two reasons they won the match. I have seen Arsenal players try to score until the last minute of the match. On the other hand I have seen less attempts to score from Manchester United players. Looking at their gameplay, I think they will be happy in this match if they can only get a draw. But Arsenal came to the field to win this match. Arteta has managed to strengthen the players in his squad mentally. He has strengthened the bond between the players. At the same time, Arteta's match strategy is also excellent.
Ten Hag, on the other hand, is not yet successful enough. He has yet to add an experienced striker to Manchester United's forward line. I think Manchester United will fall behind this season because of the weakness in attack.

[wiss19]

Arsenal are a really matured team with how they play, their resolve is very strong and they now believe in themselves that even in the last minute of the game they will still be able to score. Declan Rice has justified his move from West Ham with a very solid performance from him through the game and scoring a very crucial goal that took Arsenal away from the pressure. We still wait for Havertz to show his worth because he is not yet playing impressively, he missed the first opportunity for him to score. Manchester United should be happy with their new striker, he showed very good signs in the few minutes he played even better that Martial, and maybe he would have scored, but Gabriel and Saliba are not easy defenders to beat.

Manchester United played well and it wasn't easy for arsenal even in their home but arsenal was so lucky to end the game with impressive results. After arsenal equalized the score in the first half with Manchester United,  the game was going as if it will end in draws , the second and third goal cane as a surprise because it happened towards the last minutes to the game. It is so Interesting Arsena could made it to gain full point. Manchester United is a tough team, for arsenal to succeed in this game that means they will be able to face other strong teams in upcoming games.

In first half we have good performance from the Manchester United which helps them for having end of this half on level with Arsenal, but second half mostly dominated by Arsenal even they fail to score goal in 45 minutes but still they were in complete control and then suddenly have two goals in injury time which give them full three points after awful end against Fulham at this same place.

Manchester United also have some improvement, but they still need more improvement with things are looking not right hopefully now in this break we will have some work from Erik ten Hag for the change of strategy and bringing improvement before it's too late, and they faced another exit from the top four because right now after four round they are at the 11th spot with -2 goals difference which is surely not positive end of month for them.

Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-1 yesterday at the Emirates Stadium and it was a great match for Arsenal. By missing the match between Manchester United vs Arsenal you have missed out on the excitement. Arsenal played a lot of attacking game from the start but Manchester United scored the first goal against Arsenal. Rashford scored the only goal for Manchester United in the 27th minute, while Ødegaard scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 28th minute. After Ødegaard's goal the game was tied at 1–1 for almost 90 minutes so it looked like the match would result in a 1–1 draw but Arsenal managed to score twice in extra time.  

Rice (90+6) scored the team's second goal to give the team the lead, then Gabriel Jesus (90+11), who returned from injury, scored the team's third goal in the 3-1 minute. Arsenal had a great performance against Manchester United in the extra time of the match.

I have had many reasons to question VAR decisions even last night.  There are some infinitesimal cases that needed to be overlooked for the love of football, but VAR will function better in those cases while neglecting the obvious cases. The disallowed Manchester United goal is a case study.

In order to have no doubts about those who make decisions on the basis of VAR, its further improvement is necessary. The situation should be like in tennis - there the VAR shows millimeters and if the ball does not touch the line, then out, if it touches it, then it is in the field. The referee does not make any decision, he only announces what the VAR has shown. Yes, many will be dissatisfied because millimeters in football is simply nothing, but if you make tolerances in determining offside by a few centimeters, for example 5, then there will still be disputes at the border of 5 centimeters. How to judge 4.98 centimeters and 5.05 centimeters? Therefore, we must come to terms with the fact that even millimeters matter.

[Docnaster]

I heard new news about Man United's planned sale. Glazer as the owner has received quite a fantastic offer from Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Than. But Galzer refused, it seemed that there were other problems that made Glazer unwilling to accept the offer. Glazer offered £10bn, but until the brand decided to exit the sale market no one else was serious other than Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.   

Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12474251/Manchester-United-taken-market-Glazer-family-bidders-fail-reach-asking-price-huge-blow-furious-fans-hold-10BILLION-club.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailsport

In my opinion, £10 billion is an incredible amount. Manchester United has great potential and has a great reputation from the past. If it can be sold with this reputation, they can go for a complete refurbishment like Newcastle and become a great mix like City. Of course, the possibility of this transfer will have these consequences.

The Galzers family has never stopped to be the problem Manchester United is facing in the recent times. I can say that they are greedy  and do not care about the happiness of the fans. All they care about is their financial gain. It wasn't long that I realised that Ronaldo was right in all he said about Manchester United, their outdated training equipments and more.
Just look at the Manchester United squad and you will not count more than 3 World class player in the  starting xi of the club.
During the transfer window, Manchester United no longer go for quality players, rather old and average players. Things are gradually falling apart in Manchester United.

[Luzin]

Rice (90+6) scored the team's second goal to give the team the lead, then Gabriel Jesus (90+11), who returned from injury, scored the team's third goal in the 3-1 minute. Arsenal had a great performance against Manchester United in the extra time of the match.

Extra time was wasted being a bad gift for Man United. 2 goals in 11 minutes of extra time is terrible. I thought Rashford's goal could have lifted the mentality, but they seemed to forget. This led to Odegard's goal. The inclusion of Maguire and Evans also scared all of me included. The fear was real after they conceded 2 goals. It seems that Man United's stamina is the main problem. In addition, after this defeat, it seems that Man United are having problems. Ten Hag's statement to Sancho prompted Sancho to respond. It seems Sancho did not accept the reason Ten Hag was not included in the list against Arsenal.

[QueenVera]

Manchester United also have some improvement, but they still need more improvement with things are looking not right hopefully now in this break we will have some work from Erik ten Hag for the change of strategy and bringing improvement before it's too late, and they faced another exit from the top four because right now after four round they are at the 11th spot with -2 goals difference which is surely not positive end of month for them.

Talking about Manchester united, their coach made a statement in the press yesterday concerning not including Jadon Sancho In the team against Arsenal, saying that to play for united you have to give in your best and that Sancho didn't impress him in the training sections that's why he wasn't selected.
 But then Sancho responded on social media saying "I've been a scapegoat in the team which is not fair" he also said fans shouldn't believe any they read on the news and he'll not allow anyone say things that are untrue about him and he's conducted himself in the training and the coaches decisions are based on things he won't talk about.
 In my opinion, I think Sancho was being disrespectful to make such response to the coach without the clubs approval no player is bigger than a team and since the coach is the head of the team, every player owes him some respect, if he says you're not working hard enough then all Sancho needed to do is work hard to impress the coach like every other player does instead of going online to release such statement.

It seems Sancho did not accept the reason Ten Hag was not included in the list against Arsenal.

This match was quite fierce where both teams played quite impressively in normal time but when injury time came that was when a change occurred because Arsenal were able to take advantage of the opportunity well enough to score 2 goals. I think Manchester United failed miserably in terms of defense in this match because if they were able to defend well then there would be a chance the final result would be a draw. Arsenal is getting stronger this season and their mentality seems very ready to be back with Manchester City in the title race this season.

The rotation strategy carried out by erik is considered a total failure in this match, even though there are still other players who can be relied on quite a bit compared to Maguire and Jonny Evans. In fact, these two players failed to make a big contribution in the final minutes because they were not very strong in protecting the defensive line.

[Stable090]

Indeed a late goal for arsenal and I also agree with you that arsenal really study them very well but still I will consider this a narrow win for arsenal, am not surprised to see the game in favour of arsenal because them always take the advantage of extra time to score,

Arsenal played well yesterday, I was surprised how they were able to score two goals within the extra time given, but the Manchester United goal that was disallowed by VAR really affected Manchester United yesterday. The goal shouldn’t have been disallowed, I don’t really think the goal was an offside, it really affected Manchester United, which led to them conceding two goals in extra minutes. But that's kind of bad, Manchester United shouldn’t have allowed that to happen. Why will they concede two goals within that short period of time?

Manchester United will learn from their mistake and correct it in their next match because they are lacking defenders

I was surprised to see Harry Maguire on the field yesterday. In a match in which you are playing draw and struggling to win, ten hag decided to bring Harry Maguire into the match. He took a very big risk. Harry Maguire should be brought into matches in which he already knows that he is winning confidently, not a match in which he is playing draw and struggling to win.

It seems Sancho did not accept the reason Ten Hag was not included in the list against Arsenal.

Manchester United's defense was fine for 90 minutes but Ten Hag may have instructed his players to play more offensively as they needed goals to win the game. It was sad that Alejandro Garnacho had a goal disallowed because VAR deemed it was offside, but that shouldn't be the main problem as to why Manchester United lost.

Arsenal, who performed better at the end of the second half, was one of the reasons why Manchester United conceded two goals. Declan Rice took advantage of his chances which ultimately left Manchester United very desperate in the last few minutes. In the end Jesus who was entrusted for a few minutes managed to capitalize on another chance to score the winner for the home team. It was a tense play, but Arsenal deserved the 3 points.
