Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Manchester City improvement is not just about how much players they brought into the club,  the club have been doing well even before some of this players came into the club. Manchester City is a very organised club that knows how to do things according,  Pep Guardiola is one of the important reasons why Manchester City are doing well with their performance, he is a good coach with good understanding of making good use of player's and bringing the best from them. Haaland is not the reason why Manchester City is good in performance,  the team have always been good in performance, Haaland is in Manchester City to spice  up the performance of the team more.

Manchester City's success in the Premier League is not just about the players and coaches, but everyone who is under the same management has supported their success so far. This respect is not only directed at players and coaches, so this respect should also be conveyed to all staff and management during this time.

Pep Guardiola is one of the many reasons why Manchester City is as successful as it is now, and I agree with that. Manchester City's finances have enabled management to successfully change their team's appearance in the last 6 seasons, this is also another reason why they are successful. Pep Guardiola has made Manchester City the most fearsome team in the Premier League and in Europe, an impression that is proven by all their achievements so far.

Well, I actually do not know what exactly to say, but yeah, very much agree with you, though I still believe that the coach and the players should be the most celebrated which I believe the are, for it is their unity and agreement to work in one accord that have made them the strong team that they have become today.

The entire crew still deserve some accolades for their contributions in all that Manchester city have been able to achieve, but then, the greater potion should always go to the coach and the players, they are the ones in the war front and whether their squad be defeated or not; is in their hands .

Pep Guardiola's absolute dominance in the EPL since joining Manchester City has been undeniable. Liverpool's triumph in 2020 led me to believe that Manchester City's era of supremacy had come to an end, and it was time for other teams to hoist the EPL trophy. However, it turned out to be no easy task.

Over the past three seasons, Manchester City has unquestionably dominated the league, leaving other top clubs frustrated as they search for new strategies to claim the championship. Teams like Manchester United and Chelsea have struggled in recent matches. Perhaps they have yet to discover the right team formation, which has hindered their consistency in each game.

All I desire is for the EPL to become even more thrilling, with Big Matches that are difficult to predict, reminiscent of the excitement we experienced a decade ago.

Dominance of pep is just the beginning, other clubs shows lack of seriousness and since pep is known to be a man taking advantage. Even Liverpool is not pressing anymore and they are looking weak and playing has if they don't give a damn about the whole thing anymore and clubs that are suppose to be dragging with Manchester city are not serious too. And if clubs don't restrategies and look for other alternatives they will keep repeating the same thing until they get tired which i know is not even possible because Manchester City will keep winning. Arsenal is even in a good position to do that but nevertheless they will still throw that opportunity away. That is what they always  do. Good luck but Manchester City is still winning because naturally the Premier League is always very difficult and rough.

[Nheer]

Chelsea are still trying to come out of their shame, they are not different right now from Manchester United that is having his players fight in court. Over the years, the top 4 has always been between Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool but this are changing this time. It's good though, we need to spray the trophy across every team that deserves it. I want to see Tottenham win one day to break from that chain of no trophies

The competitive nature is what amazes me about the premier league and that is why a lot of people refer to it as the best league in the world. It is full of suprises and dramas and seeing Chelsea and Manchester United struggle is not a surprise to me, they are probably just going through their own phase of poor form which virtually all teams in the league have their own time of struggle. Even the superior Manchester City that have been winning the league back to back use to be an average team over the years until Guardiola came in and transformed them. Arsenal as well was struggling few years back but they are currently one of the best in the league now.

If Tottenham should go on to win it i would be happy for them but it would be no surprise since Leicester City who got promoted to the premier league suprised us all and went on to win the league in 2016. The league is full of challenges and that’s what i love about and it’s why i rate it more than any other league.

Pep Guardiola's absolute dominance in the EPL since joining Manchester City has been undeniable. Liverpool's triumph in 2020 led me to believe that Manchester City's era of supremacy had come to an end, and it was time for other teams to hoist the EPL trophy. However, it turned out to be no easy task.

As long as Pep Guardiola is still at Man City, it is not impossible that Man City's dominance in the EPL will still be at the forefront. If we look at Man City, this team's good playing style is quite consistent in both EPL and UCL competitions. In fact, in the last few seasons Man City has been able to reach the semifinals, this is not a coincidence, because to compete in the UCL requires good quality coaches, good players and a good way of playing. always dominate your opponent. In fact, I am sure that this season Man City will be the favorite to win the EPL considering that other teams such as Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool are still unstable.

Manchester City's success in the Premier League is not just about the players and coaches, but everyone who is under the same management has supported their success so far. This respect is not only directed at players and coaches, so this respect should also be conveyed to all staff and management during this time.

Agree, because Man City management is neater and supported by a coach who can control the egos of his star players. Apart from that, Man City is one of the football clubs in the world that believes in the process.

[ingiltere]

I think Manchester City is now a ready team and they have an aura that can win the championship for many years with one or two regional transfers every year. They have a striker like Haaland and a defender like Gvardiol. They have very good players in both the forward and defense areas. That's why I believe it will have many years of trouble-free times.

Don't forget that they also have a lot of academy and loaned players everywhere in the world. When new youngsters with a lot of potential is seen anywhere, their scouts already follow these players and recruit them. It's like a new race between the biggest clubs in the world. That way they don't have to spend insane amount of money for new players. It's a mix between finding good youngsters from youth development and buying them from other teams.
For example City bought Jeremy Doku for 65 million Euro from Rennes and Gvardiol for 90 million Euro from RB Leipzig. That's crazy amount of money but they also have star players like Philip Foden and that cost almost nothing. Having a good youth development academy and good scouts are two of the most important things in modern football era.

I know that, so I just plural with one management.
But By the way, they have a very interesting away game this weekend. Manchester City travel to West Ham for Week 5 of the Premier League, so I think this is a match worth looking forward to.

To be honest, we probably know who the favorites are in this match, but West Ham seems to have performed very well at the start of this season. West Ham is unbeaten with a total of 3 wins and 1 draw, so I am really curious whether West Ham will be able to maintain its form in the home game or even suffer its first defeat to Manchester City.

[Sim_card]

Manchester City have been won Premier League in 2020 and 2021 without Haaland, the team is already strong without Haaland, but having Haaland is completely better because he can maximize the chances created by De Bruyne. However even though Manchester City is playing without De Bruyne, they can still able to win against many teams. So all of Manchester City's players are just way more better than other teams.

EPL becomes more simpler with Pep Guardiola changes and domination in the league, bringing in distance gap against other coaches. He foreseen upcoming circumstances and look for a way to solve the challenges without encountering them. Manchester city doing absolutely spectacular without Erling Haaland but with the Norway international presence, alot of things have improved in the frontline for the citizens. Pep Guardiola keeps making crucial improvements in his squad and Erling Haaland is the top goal machine he has been searching for all these years. Haaland winning a treble in his first season in Etihad Stadium means good development and achievement for the player.

Manchester City improvement is not just about how much players they brought into the club,  the club have been doing well even before some of this players came into the club. Manchester City is a very organised club that knows how to do things according,  Pep Guardiola is one of the important reasons why Manchester City are doing well with their performance, he is a good coach with good understanding of making good use of player's and bringing the best from them. Haaland is not the reason why Manchester City is good in performance,  the team have always been good in performance, Haaland is in Manchester City to spice  up the performance of the team more.

Ever since the Arab men bought Man City, and offloaded the players and bought new players, along side with Pep Guardiola, that was when Man City became strong. Money was used to transform the club, Pep Guardiola as an experienced and skilled coach bought players that could win trophies and any of the players that starts depreciating, he offloads them and get a better one. It last season that brought out the glory of the club as they won the treble, if you look at Man City closely, you will see that the players from the goalkeeper to the coach are world class. This is the reason why their being outstanding in England.

Sunday match: Everton vs Arsenal
Anyone that is looking for a single match to bet that they will not lose money should go for Arsenal versus Everton. This match is almost obvious to me what they are going to play.  Assuming I used to bet correct score, I would have said it will be three goals to one in favour of Arsenal.

But in order not to make the risk so high you can bet the match that Arsenal will win and the match will produce over 2.5 goals. Another option should be first half over 1.5 goals. This is a match that is going to produce both teams to score. We will likely see 3 - 1 goals or 3 - 2 goals . The goals can go higher than predicted, so avoid under goals prediction.

[Hvdv]

West Ham this season is in its best performance and is much better than last season, as evidenced by the fact that currently West Ham is in 4th place in the standings, even though Manchester City is not an easy opponent for West Ham knowing that Man City itself is the current defending champion in the league. I am sure that David Moyes will not remain silent, he will train West Ham seriously to face the upcoming match, especially since West Ham will currently be playing at home.

Betting for Manchester City to win isn't worth it because the odds is @1.45, I'd rather to bet draw in this match because I don't really see if West Ham is able to beat Manchester City. The problem of West Ham is the defender, Areola have saved many balls, if West Ham don't have a good quality goalkeeper, West Ham might not able to win. I guess West Ham is rely on Declan Rice and now they don't have any player with good defending skill.

Manchester City vs West Ham I will definitely bet on Manchester City. West Ham's goalkeeper performs well but never does a whole match depend on a goalkeeper. A good performance by the goalkeeper may keep the team's goal posts safe but if the defenders are not playing at their best then a goalkeeper will never be able to make all the saves correctly. Manchester City's defender midfielders and attacking line are very strong so Manchester City will lead in this match. If I bet for Manchester City I hope I won't lose the bet and Manchester City will win this match.

It will definitely be a difficult match. Manchester City may have a hard time against West Ham, but at the end of the day, they will definitely be the winners. I don't see any team better than them in the world, let alone in the Premier League. West Ham may have started the league well, but Manchester City does not seem to be defeated.

Manchester City were a top team before Haaland arrived, but Haaland has made them invincible largely because he is an absolute beast. When they have to defend him, City and Guardiola hunt down the opposing team's defense, which has to give space elsewhere, one by one with other great players. They are a great team, they remind me of the Prime Real Madrid of the past. It's really hard to beat City.

Of course, it is difficult to beat City, but it is not right to see a team as invincible with a single player. Haaland is an important player for Manchester City, but he is not a single factor. He cannot show a performance similar to City with the Norwegian national team because football is a team game. If 11 people are good, you win that match.

[tusandii]

West Ham's performance at the start of this season was quite impressive but the opponent they will face is Manchester City who have qualities far above them. I think this will be very difficult and indeed even though Manchester City are very favorites, there is a big possibility that West Ham will provide strong resistance. This match is fierce, especially since this match will be played at West Ham's home ground.

I was hoping for a surprise, but it doesn't look like that will happen considering how head-to-head these two teams are. West Ham has not been able to win against Manchester City for quite a long time, whether as an away team or a home team, The best result they have achieved is a draw, and even though currently West Ham is a team that is in a good trend, that trend is very likely to be broken when faced with Manchester City a team that all of their lines played very well and did not show any decline even though one of their key players was absent for quite a long time, because the player who was placed to replace KDB's position could handle this well.
West Ham will like in previous matches, tend to play more defensively using counterattacks, but City's defense will be difficult for them to penetrate and so far City has only conceded two goals in four matches.

As football bettors we have to accept the fact that Manchester City will still be the winner in this match even though they will compete at home to West Ham, but we know how Haaland as Manchester City mainstay player is able to conquer every match and also the performance of Manchester City players is currently in a bad condition very strong even though WestHam looks stable in the last few matches but WestHam always fails and will not be able to get past the strength of Manchester City and will not hesitate to bet on Manchester City in this match.

Now let's look at and compare the players who are the superior players of these two clubs, if Man City has Haaland who will be the goal scorer, but WestHam lately will rely on Jarrod Bowen, one of the best players the Hummers have, who has managed to get 3 scores from 4 matches. in this premier league while Haaland managed to get 6 scores from 4 matches so these two players almost have the same performance but still Haaland is stronger in talent and won't worry if I fight for Manchester City.

I think Manchester City is now a ready team and they have an aura that can win the championship for many years with one or two regional transfers every year. They have a striker like Haaland and a defender like Gvardiol. They have very good players in both the forward and defense areas. That's why I believe it will have many years of trouble-free times.

From my observers, in their 4 matches in this competition, City has experienced a decline in the quality of goals. City's expectations are too big given the record they have. Even though they carried out their matches smoothly, their goal productivity decreased greatly. except, during the Fulham match. The point is that since Pep has not re-applied his 3-2-4-1 formation pattern, there has been a change in their camp. Luckily Pep is a smart coach and has lots of tactics and strategies, he is now more inclined to implement a 4-2-3-1 system.
In the absence of De Bruyne, Stones, Pep adopted another option as the system he implemented.  It's just that, when facing a slightly stronger team, City has to work hard to win the match. for example, when they played against Newcastle, City was only able to score one goal. However, every team that meets Manchester City must work hard to get good results.

And I hope that Arsenal will be able to provide competition again in the race for trophies this season. Moreover, they already have motivation after overthrowing City in the Community Shield. With this capital, Arsenal should have a strong mentality to overthrow City in the next meeting. I hope that Arteta will be able to bring his team into tight competition until the end of this season. After all, the two teams are only separated by two points, there are still many matches to reduce the difference in points from the top of the standings.

Your forecasts are odd, even though we are pretty certain that Arsenal will win.

It will not appear to be as easy as you expect because Goodison Park is not an easy ground for Arsenal regardless of Everton's form, but Arsenal to win and the overall match to produce over 2.5 goals is preferable, but I doubt if winning more than one goal in the first half will be a difficult prediction because the match will be difficult in the first half.

It's up to you how to determine predictions for the Everton vs Arsenal match, I mean Arsenal is a team that is really expected to win. I don't think the number of goals scored in a match would be anything interesting to predict, but of course some gamblers might consider it a good opportunity to bet on.

Arsenal's victory should not be easy because Everton is playing at home. Everton are not at their best, but we will never know for sure whether they are better after the International break or whether they are still just as bad. Arteta seems optimistic about this match, as do Arsenal fans. Arsenal's odds are not very high, but I think it will be profitable anyway.

[Stable090]

I do not think that there will be any unexpected results at all. I feel like City will just have an easy win there too and they will keep on bulldozing over the league to another title. This is getting boring to some people I am aware of that but that's the case and there is nothing we can do about it.

Manchester City might end up winning the match, but it won’t be an easy win for Manchester City just as you said. West Ham shouldn’t be underestimated as they are currently performing well, and I am sure they will do everything possible to stop Manchester City from winning them. But no matter the effort put by West Ham, I don’t think they will be able to defeat Manchester City, I don't think that will be possible for them. Manchester City haven't lost any match or drawn any match since the season started, so they won't want their match against West Ham to be the first match, they will do everything to win, but I am not expecting much goal difference in the match.

[Adams0001]

WestHam shape and performance isn't that bad to give up on them, Haaland is changing Premier League but I'm not quite sure if how long he is going to last because Guardiola is really making sure that he never runs our of assists in their style of play but West Ham performance is just like the rest of the remaining top teams on the table, they have not lost a single match, drew one and that's the only difference between them and Manchester City. If we are to go by Manchester City consistent winning, they can win this match but if you factor performance of West Ham, they could tight this match together.

Manchester City cannot be given full confidence that they can win this match without having an iota of doubt about it. West Ham have also proven themselves to be noteworthy this season after having played 4 matches and won 3 and drew 1, this most be one of their good starts in a premier league season. Because of how this team performs currently, the match is going to be a difficult one even if Manchester City have an higher hope of winning the match ahead of West Ham.

Chelsea are still trying to come out of their shame, they are not different right now from Manchester United that is having his players fight in court. Over the years, the top 4 has always been between Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool but this are changing this time. It's good though, we need to spray the trophy across every team that deserves it. I want to see Tottenham win one day to break from that chain of no trophies

Even I want the trophy to be spread within different clubs in the premier league. Tottenham trophy drought may still continue this season but hopefully they can adjust and improve their play, be in consistent form till the end of the season before we can assume or shortlist to be among the teams that may get to win any of the English league trophies. I don’t have much confidence in this club as I do for Manchester City who continue their winning streak are on top of the table for the meantime now.

Manchester City haven't lost any match or drawn any match since the season started, so they won't want their match against West Ham to be the first match, they will do everything to win, but I am not expecting much goal difference in the match.

It would be a very tough match for both teams, because city are the defending champions and would want to maintain a good record, while Westham though are the underdogs but would definitely make it very tough for city to get the ball info the net based on their present form in the past matches this season, however the favourite for this match remain Mancity, but i won't be suprised if it ends with a draw cause that's my expectation.
 However it's still going to be same with their neighbours United that would be playing with a home advantage with Albion who's been giving them tough time for the past two seasons, the team is undergoing serious crisis that could hinder the performance of the players, coupled with injury woes in several areas especially their backline and they suffer against Brighton's attackers who're known for their very quick counter attacking football.

Erling Haaland is not the key for Man City, he is only a finishing executor and that is the only skill he has, but what is still the key to Pep Guardiola's strategy is Kevin De Bruyne, who is a genius when it comes to creating opportunities for Erling Haaland. Without Kevin De Bruyne it will be difficult for everyone to play more freely, as well as Haaland movements which will definitely be closely monitored. However, Pep Guardiola has made Kevin De Bruyne the main key, and that is clear.

Yes, that's right, Pep Guardiola's Man City era was quite unique, he only relied on good midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne. This was proven when he was injured. Pep felt anxious. This also proves that Haaland is not one of the keys to Man City's success, the key to Man City's success is Kevin Dey Bruyne because he has it all in him. Good serve, good passing, good crossing, rocket kick specialist. Definition of all in one. He is also a player with a typical vision or situation reader, he is good at finding space, filling space and closing space, which is also what causes De Bruyne to often score a lot of assists because he is often used as a playmaker and attack creator, so most of Man City's attacks are centered on De Bruyne because of that. He is often involved in many Man City goals.
I just want to say Put a world class striker in front of Kevin De Bruyne and almost any team in the world would be in serious trouble. Haaland can stretch anywhere and Kevin De Bruyne can send the ball anywhere. What a duo, they really complement each other.

Kevin De Bruyne role in the Manchester City squad is quite important because he controls the situation in Manchester City game in every match. There is no doubt about his quality, especially since Kevin has a complete character that other players rarely have. So Pep Guardiola really regrets Kevin absence due to his injury. However, Manchester City performance in the previous few matches does not seem to have had a big influence on Kevin De Bruyne absence because Manchester City was able to win in 4 matches at the start of this season.
Erling Haaland is still a sticker who is quite feared in the Premier League because he can show his best qualities even without Kevin De Bruyne behind him.  Apart from that, the Manchester City squad on average has higher quality compared to the depth of other players so that if their main player is absent they have other players they can rely on.

Basically your assumption is correct and I really feel that Manchester City did not experience many significant problems during Kevin De Bruyne's injury. He is an important figure in Manchester City's game plan, but several other Manchester City players have performed well in his place. Pep Guardiola knows what his team needs at the moment and he has good squad depth when there are important players injured.

De Bruyne's availability in the squad will certainly make Manchester City's performance even better. He is a great midfielder and has very useful skills, he can also score goals in crucial moments and his injury is a shame. Now Kovacic might step in to replace him, or Foden would also be good to fill the void.

Manchester City is an elite club and we don't expect them to compromised their position. City have missed out on most of their important players this season, watching their crucial players been injured and they club still at their best performance is not a surprise to me because Pep Guardiola have already set out his team to be balance in all angles. He knows what to expect when severe injuries hits his primary starters, he made good backup replacement for these players. Kelvin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are absent in the midfield and yet, the club performing at top level.
