Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Indeed Brighton and Hove Albion's  heavy defeat away to Aston Villa was a very interesting and entertaining match to watch. Brighton before the game bad were better than the host in terms of overall performance in the English Premier League since the start of the season as they had already won 5 and most just one of their first 6 league games of the season while Aston Villa had won four and lost two league games before the game. So many had expected the match to be a very difficult one for Aston Villa but instead they made the game look very easy from the first half of the game.
Ollie Watkins was just on fire in that game as he scored three goals and had one assist against Brighton.

The Brighton team was in a good rhythm after a three-match winning streak. And so it was unexpected that Brighton would lose this match. I expected the match to be competitive. And one team will win narrowly. But the scenario has been completely changed by the players of Aston Villa. Aston Villa showed dominance from the first minute of the match. And the team took a 3-0 lead in just 26 minutes of the first half. Brighton made several attacks but they could not put up any resistance against Aston Villa. Aston Villa showed great dominance in the second half like the first half. They also scored three goals in the second half. Brighton conceded a humiliating 6-1 defeat.

Obviously this was a shocking and embarrassing defeat for Bighton, the match ended with a score of 6 - 1 and the victory was on the side of Aston Villa. Honestly, I was also quite surprised to see this final score, because as we know Brighton is a team that can usually always be a big threat to clubs that have strong performances such as Manchester City, but strangely well they look weak when faced with teams that have equal strength or even much weaker than them.

In this match Aston Villa was truly extraordinary, as you said in the first half alone this team was able to excel 3 - 0 from Brighton, there was really no significant resistance from Brighton, honestly I don't know what happened to them, and I think maybe they had difficulty building cohesiveness on the field and were also too careless so Aston Villa could easily create many successful opportunities, honestly I was very impressed with Ollie Watkins' performance there, he successfully created three goals and contributed very well to his squad's victory.

We have collapse during peak time and same happen to Manchester City

Indeed even best teams have their weakest moments and could drop points vs weaker teams. Manchester City had the same thing in the last seasons and will continue to have like any other clybs. It is just annoying for their supporters to see them losing unexpectedly that way and in a row.

Manchester United is clearly on worst start for them with no depth in team and players chemistry is also not understandable how they are doing in presence of quality players, but Manchester City was astounding in last game with there were nothing positive for them in this game which is surely big alarming situation for them now we will have good fight at the top specially Tottenham entry in exciting even this all is just because of referee mistake.

Manchester United debut these years aren't good at all. I thought with Ten Hag they will avoid the failure of the beginning of the previous season but I was wrong. The situation is not good there at all. 10th place after 7 rounds with only 3 victories and 4 defeats, they received 11 goals and just scored 7.. They will play 2 Champions League matches this month in addition of an EPL game vs City by the end of October.

[Bobrox]

Manchester united lacks creativity, theirs strikers seem to lack creative moves and don't want to make good assistance instead they usually want to score the goal to themselves, this very obvious with Marcus rashfod and Bruno Fernandes, whenever they have the ball to them selves around the eighteen box of their opponent they seem to find it difficult to make passes rather they just want to score goals.

In as much as the team needs goals to win any match, it mustn't be a particular set of persons who should shoulder the responsibility of scoring a goal in a situation you find every tight good assist to some who is in a good position will also help achieve the goal which the team needs, what is most important is the goal, this greed and pride of theirs shouldn't be above the interest of the team.

It's no obvious because in the games where they were absent the other players were able to communicate properly, make good assist and had goals that got them a win and it was very sad the loss was suffered at home, I think it's high tome ten hag begin to look into the attitude of this players regardless of how good they are as they are gradually putting their interest first and it will be more detrimental to the team if it continues.

Manchester United faced with internal problem due their player more aggressive and prefer for individual games play than teammates working, I think upcoming match in UEFA Champion League, Erik ten Hag have braveness for set up Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandez on the bench and see how possibilities with Manchester United games play as teammates or still individual. Have been several matches, both players tried with individual games play and less ego for giving assist to their team have close chance for scoring goals. If Erik ten Hag can't manage well what happen with Manchester United players still huge ego seems difficult he can make United will get top fourth position standings in this season, they have gap 9 points from Manchester City until 7 mathces and how ability in first half season United not in the top fourth place will ten Hag sack from his position?

[JeffBrad12]

Man United is having too many problems under Ten Hag this season, and the pressure on him is getting bigger and bigger. They are in crisis after losing consecutively in important tournaments. Coach Erik Ten Hag is at risk of being fired if he cannot improve the team's situation. He has no excuses for Man United's worst start in the Premier League. The home crowd booed Old Trafford throughout the match, suffering a bitter 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Maguire doesn't start, who will be the scapegoat for Man United fans, coach Erik Ten?

Naturally, Manchester United fans booed at Old Trafford, because Manchester United were unable to score a goal back in that match even though Manchester United was superior in terms of possession of the ball. This is not only embarrassing for Manchester United, but also painful for the fans who were there because the fans hope that Manchester United can win at home when facing Crystal Palace. However, that didn't happen and the fans even had to swallow the bitter pill when they saw their proud team lose at home.

It's awful performance from united. Ten hag was also doing ridiculous changes on its strategy. Ten hag was putting garbage winger like rashford instead of garnacho which was helping MU to win against palace in EFL.

Im not even expecting if ten hag will be making some changes while the previous line up is already good. I would not be surprised that if the fans were booing manchester united caused by ten hag has been making some stupid decision.
The performance from manchester united becomes even worst. I would prefer to put garnacho as left winger rather than rashford. Rashford is so selfish and he was always wanna dribbling the ball by himself.

he was always losing the ball which was making palace able to make fast counter attack. Rashford's prime time already ended since last season. He is now very bad.

[Weawant]

Ten Hag was supposed to make an evaluation. Man United competed against Crystal Palace 2 times with the result being 1 win and 1 loss. They played without Rashford and Bruno during the Carabao Cup, but somehow they were able to play freely and their rhythm looked good. Meanwhile, in the Premier League match, Bruno and Rashford were again the main choices in the first team, even though they dominated the match but their rhythm looked monotonous. In my eyes, Man United performed better without Bruno and Rashford.

Rashford and Bruno Fernandes some times make me want to say they are the main problem Manchester united is facing, let's site some instances and check out the obvious, the first match against crystal palace was the carabao cup where Manchester united were able to defeat crystal palace to an amazing 3 goals and crystal palace had no goal at all, Bruno and rashford were not in this game

But in the premier league game against the same crystal palace where rashford and Bruno Fernandes who happens to be key players participated, one will expect the team will do even better having their key players on ground this time but sadly they reverse was the case as they performed even worse, not been able to secure a single goal.

Although they dominated the game and played well but the fact that there were strikers present who couldn't get least a goal for them is something that is worth bothering over, I expected Manchester to get even more goals, if they were able to get three goal in their absence then they should even do more with them present but sadly this two players are always wanting to score all the goal and showing some level of selfishness.

[Despairo]

EPL this weekend is totally out of predictions, gamblers loses money due to the inaccurate prediction forged for there wagers on these games. Not just about the incident of Aston Villa thrashing Brighton 6-1 but also elite teams defeated by mediocre sides. Brighton is more elevated than Aston Villa regarding performance and standings on the English Premier League table. The seagulls heavy defeats against Villa was humiliating, none expected to see the seagulls scrambled on the fates of Aston Villa, Unai Emery finally claims who's the real ideal coach for average competitive side.

That's why I said this week is rigged.

Manchester United have beat Crystal Palace with three goal margins, but now they lose from a same club that they beat before.

Manchester City lose against Wolves when Manchester City have shots 8 balls on target while Wolves only once time.

Luton Town, a club who never won can beat Everton.

Tomorrow we have Fulham vs Chelsea match, although we're know Fulham will win, but Chelsea might win if we look to other club results.

[QueenVera]

I comprehend the challenge of playing with only nine players and managing to narrow the goal deficit to just one. However, avoiding red cards is also a testament to playing smartly. I trust that Klopp can instill a sense of caution in the players to reduce such incidents. These situations consistently put a team in a precarious position, making it tough to secure a victory or even salvage a draw.

They performed really good, but just the pressure was too much on them, they really needed to win the game but Tottenham was too good and they dominated the game mostly and Liverpool good booked too early and I believe that's why they lost the match, cause even with a man down they still stood their ground and managed to score a goal.

 If not for the fact that they got booked with two red cards i believe Liverpool would had scored another goal to get an equalizer, they were so unfortunate in the match and need to play cautiously in their next game so as not to get booked again, but the VAR wasn't fair with their decision making cause the offside call wasn't really the right choice and Liverpool deserved the goal, it shouldn't had been Cancelled.

Is management skill has become poor of recent because the performance of Manchester United is getting worst every game, and even from there yesterday's game against crystal Palace, was not that bad because Taking of attempts it was equal and i feel much pressure was on Manchester united at the long run and all attempt to score was discarded and the goal that crystal Palace scored was a super goal it was an impressive strike. Premier is always full of surprises and very difficult to predict. And there defence is broken and even there goal keeper needs to improve since the defence is bad he would have improved him self. And Maguire case is on a different level. And if the league continues like this then a lot of big clubs will find there self in a very bad position just like Chelsea last season. Who narrowly escaped relegation

It was a historic win for Aston Villa. The win has given them an advantage in the Premier League moving them to the fourth position. If they should continue like this, by the end of the season they will finish top 3 in the league. I commend the coaching style of Unai Emery. Football fans who watched the match knows that his style of coaching is a contributing factor to the star performances of his team. Also these players Martinez, Konsa, Luiz, Kamara, Diaby, and Watkins are strong pillars in the team. With them, I know that Aston Villa can challenge the top four teams in the Premier League.

This can only happen if they’re consistent enough till the end of the season which I doubt so even if Unai Emery’s coaching skills can earn him that. The match against Brighton was a total shock to me because I was not expecting them to have won them so easily or with much goal margin as they did. Brighton are in a very good form currently, so I wasn’t expecting a big defeat for them looking how their performance have been over the few last matches played. This should be their biggest defeat of the season and also the biggest win for Aston Villa this season. I hope they get over this and improve in their next match, such an awful day for them.

Yes, I agree with your opinion. Manchester United is having very serious internal problems. Trust between players is starting to appear to no longer be unified so they are more concerned with the individual. A crisis like that should immediately receive serious attention from Ten Hag, because the problem is no longer tactical but rather non-technical. I suggest that Erik Ten Hag should also immediately look for a new leader in the team because I see that Bruno Fernandez has absolutely no leadership. Because if a leader is a figure in the field it also really influences the team as a whole. So it is appropriate that the captain's armband should be removed from Bruno and handed over to Casemiro because he is very experienced.

[red4slash]

Brighton had to be 3 goals behind Aston Villa in the first half, Aston Villa in my opinion successfully muffled the game from Brighton so that they could not develop their game in this first half. In the second half Brighton had to catch up with their 3 goals, and it was a difficult thing to do. But I still provide opportunities for them to be able to reduce the position or even equalize, as long as they can play better than the first half.
On the other hand Aston Villa themselves will not let their advantage be overtaken by their opponents.

The EPL has become so unpredictable that when you've feel you've arrived another team would just shock you, and that's what makes the league more interesting than others, Brighton have been in good performance since the season started but ever since they lost their match in the Europa League they've began to underperform, a 3-0 defeat in the 1st half is so embarrassing and know De Zerbi won't be pleased with his teams performance, they're more possessive but are finding it difficult to create more chances and allowing the home team to utilise most of their chances created.

 They're currently in the 2nd half of the game and thanks to a goal from their recent signing from Barcelona, Ansu Fati,  atleast it would serve as  a consolation goal in a case where the match ends with this current result, one player that's caught my attention in this games is Ollie Watkins, he's been very outstanding and scored a brace to put his team in front in the early minutes of the game.

Yes, that's the Premier League where we will always be presented with a surprise that was not thought of before. this match ended with a landslide victory for Aston Villa, yes in the second half Aston Villa could score 3 more goals to ensure they really won very convincingly. Conversely for Brighton, although they had reduced the distance to 3-1, but they also conceded another 3 goals after that. The effectiveness of the game from Aston Villa was the key to this victory, and also the game that did not develop, especially on the defense side, made Brighton have to admit the superiority of Aston Villa.

[Polkeins]

One of the most interesting results of the week was in the Aston Villa - Brighton game I assume. I was expecting Aston Villa not to lose. However this was just too much. I don't know how they managed to win this game by a score like 6-1. Brighton gave up on the game very quickly and it was just a destruction later.

Ollie Watkins was the man of the match clearly. He made a hat-trick and attracted the attention to himself. Maybe he isn't the top scorer but he is one of the best versatile players in the league currently with 4 goals, 3 assists.

It was a great match and I think Ollie Watkins deserved to be named player of the tour made a hat-trick in a match against a very difficult opponent. Ollie Watkins is a great striker in general. Last season he scored 15 goals and this season he has already scored 7, so I think he should score at least 15-20 goals this season, which will make him one of the main scorers of the English Premier League.  
Prior to this match Brighton had 3 wins in the league, including wins over Newcastle and Manchester United, with Manchester United being beaten at Old Trafford. Although Manchester United are now beaten by almost everyone, Brighton's win was nonetheless a landmark victory.

The fact that Aston Villa had won 9 matches in a row at home, but no one probably did not expect Brighton defeat with 6:1 score .
If not for the defeat of Manchester City and Liverpool, I think it would have been the most significant victory of the tour.

We have collapse during peak time and same happen to Manchester City while mostly we were feeling Manchester due is having free money in seventh round with Wolves hosting Manchester City and Manchester City hosting Crystal Palace with few days back they won against them easily but suddenly now we have too much crying from few punters, but things already settled, and we have lost for them in this round.

Manchester United is clearly on worst start for them with no depth in team and players chemistry is also not understandable how they are doing in presence of quality players, but Manchester City was astounding in last game with there were nothing positive for them in this game which is surely big alarming situation for them now we will have good fight at the top specially Tottenham entry in exciting even this all is just because of referee mistake.

Manchester City's defeat against Wolves made the other 3 teams even more optimistic that they could win more matches and compete closely. Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool still lead the top 4 in the standings while Manchester City has not wavered at the top despite losing 3 points.

The difference in points between the top 4 teams is not much and whoever makes a mistake will go down because Aston Villa and Brighton are ready to welcome anyone who slips up. Pep Guardiola, Ange Postecoglou, Arteta and Klopp will certainly work as hard as possible to improve the team's performance. But I am still disappointed with the bad performance of Manchester United who are in 10th place with an 9 point gap with the top of the standings.

This result was suffocating for Manchester City, they were forced to swallow the bitter pill in the form of two consecutive defeats in three days, previously they were also forced to lose to Newcastle in the third round of the EFL Cup. Even though they have just lost three points at Wolves headquarters, Manchester City position remains safe at the top of the standings because Liverpool, who have the potential to take over the top of the standings, also lost at Tottenham headquarters. As a result of this defeat, their winning trend in the Premier League stopped in the seventh week. This defeat was very painful for Manchester City because they lost to a team that they should have easily beaten.

However, that didn't happen and the fans even had to swallow the bitter pill when they saw their proud team lose at home.

Now Erik Ten Hag's job as Manchester United coach is increasingly being questioned, is it appropriate for him to continue his career as Red Devils coach until the end of the season or, conversely, be fired early so that minor results don't continue?

We know that in 7 matches Manchester United has lost 4 times and that is a very bad result for one of the big EPL teams. Of course, it is very natural that in recent times we have seen fans often booing Erik ten Hag's decision and I think it is only a matter of time before he is finally fired in the near future. Manchester United's current situation is out of control and perhaps they will suffer the same fate as Chelsea if their performance continues to decline.

[Litzki1990]

Brazilian superstar Anthony was temporarily banned from Manchester United for physically abusing his girlfriend. Today when I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed, a news flashed in front of me that the allegations made against Anthony were completely false. Since the allegations made against him have been proven false, the police have allowed him to return to the field and there should be no further obstacles to his return to the field, and the Brazilian star will be able to enter Manchester United's field from the next match.

I posted just to be sure because newsfeeds often contain false news

I trust that Klopp can instill a sense of caution in the players to reduce such incidents. These situations consistently put a team in a precarious position, making it tough to secure a victory or even salvage a draw.

Liverpool finished the match with 9 men due to two red cards, but they fought well against Tottenham. The second red card came in the 69th minute. The match was extended for 6 minutes. So, Liverpool played with 9 men for 27 minutes against a strong team like Tottenham and almost didn't give any clear goal chances. I think they played well and they came very close to getting a point from this game but in some matches big teams can have such misfortunes and I think Liverpool had such a day... On the other hand, Heung Min Son continues to play great football. After Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich, he became Tottenham's most important player. I think he will have better stats this season...

[Cryptomultiplier]

Nottingham Forest really fought hard to secure a point at home after having equalized from a goal down by Brentford.
The result means both teams will remain below the middle of the premier league table and anyone like myself who placed a bet on an above 1.5goal margin will have gotten a green tick for successful prediction.

I've also surprised at how Villa outplayed Brighton. Brighton had previously dominated Manchester United, but their inconsistency is evident. They win one game and then fail in the next, a recurring pattern for them. This win for Villa marks one of Brighton's toughest defeats in the Premier League. On that day, Villa was exceptional, showing no mercy and displaying sheer determination. Here's hope to maintaining the positivity and high hopes for Villa's future performances.

[EFS]

City finally lost in the league and showed that they are normal humans. Although it was a lucky win for Wolves, as they finished the game with only one shot on target and two goals. Sometimes we watch matches like that. One team shot more than 20 times and other defensive team get the win.
Arsenal and Tottenham won. That's good for competition. I don't want to see City to make 10+ points difference and get the title easily. This season we don't see Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool in the title race but we watch three team competing for the trophy.
