Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

-snip-

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liverpool truly got the short end of the stick. I can't say anything about the referee, but they'll surely recover from this setback. Liverpool vs Spurs match was an utter mess. It's a bit comforting that it happened against Spurs, who have been performing well this season. Tottenham Hotspur secured the victory, but Liverpool's gameplay left an impression on me.

Interestingly it isn't totally rare that the team with less shots and shots on target eventually wins the game. I think all of that began when teams tried to adapt to the Barcelona tikitaka and ball possession was what won them the game. But over time it became harder as other teams knew that it's all about defending, about giving a hard time to score no matter how close it gets. This is what they focus on. Of course there is also luck involved, but it's not like the favorites win all of their games 5-0, in fact it is much closer often times. Manchester City had a couple of games with insane ball possession advantage and shots and yet it took them very long to get through the defense and score. It's good in my opinion as I don't really like the leagues when there is one third of the teams destroying all other teams almost every game.  The Premier League is by the best league for that reason. You can't just go to Luton town and expect to score 5 goals, not even Manchester City. Money does play a role, but surprisingly the quality gap between the teams with more and with less money seems to have decreased, or am I the only one thinking that?

There was already a news going round  confirmed by Man Utd that he is returning to training thus I think all the allegation labelled against him doesn't hold water and this is the best time he returns the club  to assist the  underperforming club atleast his selection into the first team would make a difference in their attack, recall Erik ten Hag is under pressure due to the team poor run so far both in EPL and UCL and part of the team problem is that their final third hasn't been scoring goals Højlund and Rashford the major culprits had miss scoring opportunities probably the arrival of Antony would make their attack more formidable and with more options for the manager.

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.

I really appreciate Aston Villa performance in the match against Brighton, regardless of the result, in my opinion it was a little excessive and far from expected. However, this shows positive results for Aston Villa in the next match. If Aston Villa is able to maintain its performance, it is possible that facing Wolves will not be a problem. It comes back to whether Aston Villa can prove that or not. Because to be honest, a club like Brighton with quality players was able to be overwhelmed by the pressure from Ollie Watkins et al. This means that Brighton made a big mistake because at the start they thought that Aston Villa was not a threat.

Two coaches which done impressive performance in this season were face to face and Emery U having amazing time as his team Aston Villa completely bring down Brighton and then give them lesson of the season with the score of 6 - 1 even many were expecting win but mostly were not having any idea that Aston Villa can win this match by this margin with this win now they are at the 5th spot and Brighton is out of the top ranks which is not good for them after having impressive start of this season now they have another challenging match against Liverpool which is angry after foul lost against Tottenham and Brighton have to well-prepared for this match.

Aston Villa are surely at their best and now have fair chance for staying at the top for few more weeks, but now they are also having next challenging match against Wolves at Molineux Stadium which is at the moon after beating league leaders Manchester City.

It was surprising to see City lose against Wolves. But that's their match statistics. City were unlucky and Wolves got a lucky win with minimal statistics.
What really surprised us again was when Simon Hooper trended on Twitter with an edited look wearing a Spurs jersey.

Who knows, Manchester United and Chelsea are too late to get hot in the competition for the trophy. Maybe they will start in the second half of the season.
Liverpool are still on track to win the trophy because the difference in points with City after being defeated by Tottenham is only two points.

Haha,,,, I thought it was going to be 3-1 but we know Manchester City will have to be unlucky even if they play like they keep attacking while Wolves with few shots are able to win, I said this is quite dramatic, the Manchester duo must lose in the same week.

This season the points will not be too far away it will be close.
Spurs if not only Liverpool players do not come out two people, it will definitely not be a Spurs victory but lucky enough at the end.

Chelsea and Man United will be bottom or middle of the pack? I don't think I'll see them above the top 4, if Liverpool it's still very possible, they lost last night because they were short of players due to red cards.

I feel that Brentford didn't start this season well, because in fact, up to week 7, Brentford has only won once and Brentford has drawn more often than not so far this season. But yeah, while for Nottingham at least they have put in a great effort so far. Because, in reality, Nottingham is still trying hard in this match even though Nottingham is only playing with 10 players. But at least, at this moment, Nottingham has a better position than Brentford in the standings, and at least that is also a great achievement for Nottingham so far this season.

Did you read something that Fabrizio Romano posted on platform X two days ago?
Antony appears to have been training with his teammates at Carrington and is likely to be in the Manchester United squad for the next match.

So of course this is good news because Ten Hag will likely get new resources to play better in the next match. Ten Hag is still trying to get the best form out of his team at the start of the season, but things are not going smoothly for him.

I quote it for you here: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1707698055623954792

BREAKING: Antony back to training and available for selection, Manchester United statement confirms.

"Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has co-operated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so”.

"As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case”.

"As a club, we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse”.

Of course if the referee is not wrong then Liverpool will get points. But how to follow up with this referee error? Even though it has used Var, it seems that there are still enough weaknesses that can occur. How many sophisticated tools if the final decision on people can still be potentially wrong. But the situation should have the match paused, so that the referee could carefully review the var.
Via ESPN's Twitter
The PGMOL have released a statement acknowledging that a "significant human error occurred" when Luis Diaz' goal was disallowed for offsides.

Experiencing one defeat in the EPL league is not a bad thing for a big club, after all, Manchester City has had enough consecutive wins from the several matches they faced at the start of this season. There are times when they lose or get a draw, no one will ever know about that, anyone who bets on Wolves with big betting odds will definitely win big.

We don't know the exact reason why Manchester City lost, but I'm sure that Guardiola has mobilized his team to continue winning, but they are also human, they must feel tired, so it's normal to experience defeat, however, with Manchester City's defeat, competition at the top of the standings is now getting tighter. this season. BTW, even though they lost, Manchester City is still at the top of the standings.

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.

I don't think the Brighton team is weak at all.  This team is strong and has the ability to perform well against big teams . This season too, the team won the away match against manchester united 3–1, beating Newcastle 3–1 . But the problem is that their performance is very erratic. This team is capable of playing well, but cannot maintain consistency. Players need to be more confident. If the players are confident then maybe we will see consistency in their performance. .

We have to admit that Aston Villa played brilliantly in this match. Their performance was mesmerizing. The team won the last match. And Chelsea also beat Aston Villa. The team is now at the fifth place in the points table after getting 16 points in 7 matches.

[FanEagle]

Once again United lost. This is getting to a point where it is not recoverable and they are going to for sure end the season at a terrible terrible place. Considering they do well one year and bad one year, it can't be about the manager. First they ended up being second in 20-21 season, but then in 21-22 season they ended up 6th, and then last year once again third, and this year they are doing terrible.

As we can see from this type of changes that we are going to end up with some sort of result that would not be sustainable, and they can't keep having one good season and one bad season, they need to find some sort of balance between them and do alright. I would say even being fourth for 4 years in a row would be better than this.
