Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bayu7adi]

Actually that's the game of football for you, no matter how strong a club is, sometimes they can be defeated by a small club whom can barely dream of wining them but however that Manchester City lost the match against Wolves doesn't mean they have lost form or the possibility of wining the premier League,

I believe that experiencing defeat is a necessity, especially considering that Manchester City still appears formidable with their best squad. Even in the match against Wolves, I think it was just one of those unlucky days for Man City, as evidenced by their dominant performance. Despite Craig Dawson's standout defensive efforts for Wolves, Man City managed to launch dozens of attacks.

Furthermore, Ruben Dias' own goal added a touch of fortune to Wolves, making their luck slightly better than Man City's in last week's match.

Brighton has been pretty bad losing their first game in the Europa League and they haven't been that strong ever since they lost to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup (well to me Chelsea caused their down fall), but last night was a step up for them for getting a draw.
Was thinking they (Brighton) was going to lose that game but they brought up their A game and I think this is going to boost their morale into winning their next EPL game, I hope it happens that it will be easy.
Is not going to be that fun as usual when they win games easily but at this point in time they're going to get things right to get to that winning form in the EPL because it seems they have lost that momentum of trashing any team that comes their way. I'll still blame it on Chelsea for Brighton's lack of form in the EPL, to me is like any team the Blues get a victory against they will lose their form completely.

I feel the game of Brighton against Aston Vill really affected them in a way and even in the Europa they did not start well, some losses just have their own way of affecting the self-esteem of the club. and the Carabao Cup against just was just 1:0 I don't see it in any way that it would have affected them, and with all this loss don't be surprised that it will affect them throughout the season they are already in the sixth position on the table and am sure they won't even last in that position, if they continue to play like this. we can decide from their next game just as you said if they lose that one too then they should put it in their mind that this season is going to be bad for them. it will be better for them to get their minds right before it gets worse.

On the one hand, it’s hard for me to imagine that United will lose another match. On the other hand, there are several factors in favor of this: Brandford rested and prepared for this game, and United wasted energy in the Champions League. But the most important factor that introduces insurmountable uncertainty for me is that it seems that some players deliberately play poorly/do not try because of a conflict with the coach.

Brentford was playing really bad, so it's not possible they can able to beat Manchester United. It's either Manchester United will win or draw, maybe draw because Manchester United also not really in good performance.

Anyway look, Antony will play in this match, it looks his problem wouldn't affect his career.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Chelsea's match strategy was good. I would say Chelsea's main strength is their strong defence. I have no complaints about Chelsea's defence. In most matches I have seen better performances from Chelsea's defenders. However, coach Pochettino has to work on Chelsea's attack. Chelsea management should have strengthened their attack this season, adding experienced and talented strikers to the squad. Chelsea have talented strikers like Sterling, Nkunku and Mudryk in their squad. But coach Pochettino is not able to use this striker well. The bond between the strikers is also weak. If the chemistry between the strikers is good then maybe Chelsea's attack will be seen in a stronger form in the coming matches.

They are already a good team, just because they got bad results doesn't mean that they are not a good team, but they just couldn't get the results so far and with this game they got the result they wanted in the end. I believe that we are going to see them do this well from here on out. They have built a team that should easily be in top 6 without a doubt, could be in the top four as well if they did alright but they didn't and I am expecting them to do a lot better on the long run.

This requires them to have a great streak just like they had a bad one, a 5 win streak for example would be amazing for them and would give them a result that would be all that much better. I personally hope that the best thing they can do is to take this win as an example and end up with a streak.

In fact, Chelsea has the potential to develop, it's just that the process is going a bit late. I think the problem is because Chelsea has overhauled almost the entire old squad so it takes time for the new players to adapt. Even though it is populated by a number of potential young players, their performance has not yet been able to make a major contribution to the team. Pochettino is not immediately blamed even though he is responsible for various decisions. He also understands that his players, especially in the attack line, still have very little experience so it is very difficult to score goals. The 2-0 victory over Fulham certainly means a lot for Chelsea, apart from successfully securing points, but this victory will also provide an injection of morale for the players to continue to maintain their performance. But I predict that it will be difficult for Chelsea to finish in the top six because they have lost a lot of points and they still have to face big matches.

It is a fact, Chelsea is one of the teams that has the most world attention, in the PL it is considered that this team can be transformed into one of the best, I know that the team has been reformed many times, I believe the previous season was When they didn't have a better team, now things are not usually like that because many changes have already been made, great players came out, but they can no longer waste the opportunity, they are in one of the best leagues in the world, where the football they have is the best. That it has more publicity in Europe and it is considered that it is where there is more investment and the level is higher, that is why it is said that these PL teams can make a difference, at least I see that Chelsea is no longer in the space that It was before, because this is where you can see that with respect to the other teams such as the MU, it does not get out of the abyss that it maintains, it is quite sad, but it obviously has to be considered, for this reason it is that we can say many things, but this team has a lot of faith, I think they can do things very well if they keep putting their minds to it like this, I don't know if something else can affect their performance, but against Fulham they did excellent, if they did well against They must play with the same determination against others.

For me, if Chelsea wins anything this season , I mean at least 5 games, people are not doing anything, they have to take into consideration many things, first of all they don't get carried Away by the bad comments, they have to go ahead and do What the technical director tells them, that in my opinion I think that if they continue to have a bad streak, then they Should change it , so From now on Things have to be many victories for them, because there is no other way, they are in one of the the competitions that most must do things well so that they are the team they once were and not disappoint anymore, because many Celsea fans are Already Bored of Losing.

Actually that's the game of football for you, no matter how strong a club is, sometimes they can be defeated by a small club whom can barely dream of wining them but however that Manchester City lost the match against Wolves doesn't mean they have lost form or the possibility of wining the premier League,

I believe that experiencing defeat is a necessity, especially considering that Manchester City still appears formidable with their best squad.

Despite Craig Dawson's standout defensive efforts for Wolves, Man City managed to launch dozens of attacks.

Furthermore, Ruben Dias' own goal added a touch of fortune to Wolves, making their luck slightly better than Man City's in last week's match.

Personally, it seems normal to me that any team can Beat a Manchester City team, firstly because they are not invincibl e, secondly, they have a very good team but not enough for them to Continue winning everything like this and once , I think that things do happen if they They make mistakes, because another team beats them , it doesn't matter if it is the team that is last in the table, everything is within the normal parameters, for that reason and more than we as good fans know that this PL is on the other World, those who have not seen the performance of a Neqwcatle, is in the bull world , if they continue like this and do not lower the level, they will undoubtedly be the kings , many are Putting the memes of the movie called "Gol" where a mixture of Newcastle and something about Real Madrid with a Mexican protagonist, not bad , because I saw that movie when it was released, I liked it and I hope that if that happens it would be something great for all Newcastle fans.

Pep Guardiola confirms Man City injury blow for Arsenal match

Manchester City will have to take on Arsenal without John Stones after Pep Guardiola ruled the defender out of the crunch Premier League game.

Stones has not played for the Blues since the Community Shield in August due to a number of injury issues, and returned to training this week as he aims to prove his fitness. The England defender was named on the bench for the Champions League game against RB Leipzig and also was named in Gareth Southgate's squad for the national team for those upcoming games.

However, Guardiola said that the centre-back will not be fit to feature against Arsenal even if he is subsequently able to play for his country. Already without Kevin De Bruyne due to injury and Rodri due to suspension, City will have to find another solution to their midfield.

I would like it if the protagonists of this PL were other teams and not the same ones, and I would like to sincerely see Newcastle shine because it is a team that deserves it, and it is not for nothing, but that they have emerged like this, it is something different from them, always I thought that team was good, but this time they are believing it and that is what makes a team good, that things start to happen like that, because obviously while they were playing in oblivion no one considered them.

[X-ray]

There has been too much discussion about the Arsenal vs Manchester City match this week that many have forgotten that tomorrow Manchester United will compete again, this time the opponent is Brentford. Statistically in H2H Manchester United is ahead with 3 wins and Brenford only managed to win 1x and that too with a landslide score. Looking at the progress of the two teams so far in the standings, of course Manchester United is a little better but they are too bad for a big EPL team. Meanwhile, Brentford, which is a mediocre team, is not surprised that they have had a bad start to the season by sitting in 14th position. I think this will be a battle for 3 points for each team and of course this will be an important match this week for both teams to determine their next position. Will Manchester United succeed in breaking the series of defeats they suffered in the previous match this time, or will Bentford continue to add to the bad record for the Red Devils by beating them at Old Trafford?

Brentford's performance was not that good this season but since this club was losing ivan tooney and brentford feels so difficult to scoring the goals with the new striker. Even though brentford was a mediocre club but you know that how shitty manchester united is now.
Im not even trying to pick MU in this match. I would rather than pick btts coz it's likely to happen. Manchester united was always struggling when it was facing mediocre club as well. Im not even feeling confidence anymore to pick manchester united.
Im fed up with ten hag. I will not even tolerate him anymore if ten hag does to put rashford as starting line up instead of garnacho. Ten hag needs to put meguire in to play as left centre back.

It may improve the club a bit but hojlund's performance in UCL was so amazing as he has everything needed by MU as a striker.
Hojlund will try to add his name to the scoreboard. MU may struggle to beat brentford or we will see a surprise from brentford soon.

I feel the game of Brighton against Aston Vill really affected them in a way and even in the Europa they did not start well, some losses just have their own way of affecting the self-esteem of the club. and the Carabao Cup against just was just 1:0 I don't see it in any way that it would have affected them, and with all this loss don't be surprised that it will affect them throughout the season they are already in the sixth position on the table and am sure they won't even last in that position, if they continue to play like this. we can decide from their next game just as you said if they lose that one too then they should put it in their mind that this season is going to be bad for them. it will be better for them to get their minds right before it gets worse.

Brighton has 5W 0D 2L in 7 games this season and is currently positioned 6th in the EPL rankings. The Seagulls' manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has plans for the club; he's working on strengthening his current squad; perhaps he's spotted his team's weaknesses and has devised suggestions to the current challenge. This season, their humiliation versus Aston Villa was completely unexpected. Brighton Albion experienced humiliation at the hands of Aston Villa, which was most likely owing to their inconsistency in EPL league games. However, I am confident that the Seagulls will get back their streak of victories.

Anyway look, Antony will play in this match, it looks his problem wouldn't affect his career.

Until week 7, Brentford only won once, the rest were losses and draws, so you could say it was very bad if you look at their current situation, now what you are thinking about is how should Man United win and get out of continuous defeat? Their game is not that aggressive and is always related to the coach's conflict - actually this is not known but there are several media saying that the players are not happy with Erik Ten Hag's instructions.

Maybe he will be played in this match, hopefully there will be no more burdens after he is released and returns to the Man United squad.
Another prediction I have is that the result will be a draw.

Although this season Arsenal actually has a better performance than last season. But I also think that Man City will still be superior in this match too. Arsenal always have difficulty when facing Man City. And I think maybe this time it will be the same. And the mentality of the Man City players is very strong. Both home and away matches, Man City always performs with maximum performance. So favoring Man City is my choice this time too. I don't remember last season who was the favorite when these two clubs met. But what is certain is that last year I was disappointed with Arsenal who lost quite easily. Man City at that time actually beat Arsenal very comfortably. But this time Arteta must have thought of a different strategy. But still I can't believe it.

Why do you think Arsenal current performance is better than the previous season? In the previous season, they are leading the EPL standings during the first half of the previous season. Meanwhile they are only in the 3rd place in the first half of this season. They already got 2 draws in the 7 early EPL matches this season.

Well, I agree that Man City is still superior, their squad looks a bit better than Arsenal. For the next match, I also still assume that Man City will win the match although it will be in Arsenal home (Emirates stadium). Even if in the last match Man City got a loss, they must have a bigger motivation to win the next match to maintain their position in the 1st place.

Right now both Arsenal and Manchester City are performing really well. Now on the upcoming match between them, it is definitely hard to predict who is going to win. But as we all know Arsenal has an injury problem with Saka. So probably that is going to give Arsenal some headaches. But I still believe that Arsenal will be able to do well in this match. They have replacements for almost any player.

But I still think that Manchester City is the team that has a better chance to win this match. After the recent loss that Manchester City had to face, they are definitely going to be very hungry for a win. That is something which Arsenal will have to keep in mind. Overall I think both teams have a chance to win in this match.

Both clubs are in a very bad form at the moment. Manchester United successive defeats have subsequently piled pressure on Ten Hag, with a selection of Manchester United supporters questioning whether he is the right man to lead their club back to the summit. I don’t know how they’ll approach tomorrow’s game but if they still don’t change their style of play, Brentford might grab a point or more.

[Litzki1990]

This means that most likely City is more tired than Arsenal but this does not mean anything regarding the performance,I am pretty sure in a both teams to score yes as a bet for the game of this weekend while I would refrain on betting on money lines as although City is the favorite I don't know if they can deliver.

I also bet on City. Even though the City squad is tired because they have just played a match against Leipzig in the Champions League, it should be noted that City has good squad depth. They have a second tier squad which is also good. I'm a little worried because City don't have Rodri due to the red card against Nottingham. He is the driving engine in City's game. His tempo setting actions are very dangerous for the opponent's defense. I don't know who is worthy to replace Rodri here.

If you talk about fatigue, I think Arsenal are also facing the same situation, so I don't think that reason is right, especially Arsenal have just lost in the Champions League against Lens. But I agree that Manchester City have better squad depth than Arsenal now. On the other hand Arsenal will act as hosts in this match, so I think that gives a big injection of motivation for Arsenal to beat Manchester City.
Betting on Manchester City is a good option, but of course it is not a guarantee that by betting on them we can win the bet.

Manchester City are a strong team everywhere, whether at home or away. 11 players will play in the field, fans from outside the field can only support the team but cannot come to the field but play the field game players have to play. If a team is mentally prepared then they can win at their home ground or any other team's home ground. 
Manchester City is a team that has experience playing in all kinds of conditions and the team has many young and experienced players who perform very well for the team. 

Manchester City might miss the absence of some experienced players in the match against Arsenal but the playing eleven will try to play their best and surely they will be on the field to get full points against Arsenal. I will bet on Manchester City in this match even if it is played at Arsenal's home ground.

You first said that Manchester city have a better chance of winning the match, and then in the end, still turned around to say that both team have a chance of winning the match. this makes me want to ask you where exactly do you stand?.

In a football match, the game ends either a win for one team, and a loss for the other, or a draw which means that non of the team won or lost. For the coming match between Manchester city and Arsenal, it is one that is actually hard to predict, but if I am asked to with all honestly, without any sentiments, predict who would win the match, I would say that Manchester city does have a better chance of winning, even though I am personally wishing that Arsenal win the match, Arsenal should either win or let the game end in a draw, this is my wish.

I don't know what you all are thinking but from my point of view Manchester City team has started this season very badly than last season. Last season had a fantastic performance which deserves praise but the team's performance has suffered a bit since Kevin DeBruina left the team due to injury at the beginning of this season.

[shogun47]

It is a home game for Arsenal, which makes this game more interesting than I would otherwise expect. I think a game at Manchester City's would be a much harder task than this one. Arsenal is in great shape to go for it now, but this game also involves some desire for revenge for last season. If Arsenal beats Manchester City, I think it would allow people to dream again that Manchester City won't pull off a one team show this season again.

The encounter between Manchester City and Arsenal will have a high level of match intensity. Due to Manchester City's recent loss to Wolves, Manchester City would come out fighting to win the game, while Arsenal would do everything in their power to exact revenge and show their fans that they are capable of winning the Premier League this season

The reality that Manchester City can lose other games, like the defeat to Wolves, prevents me from dreaming that they will win the Premier League this season, even if they defeat Arsenal once more.

I just came across an article stating that Manchester City won the last 12 Premier League matches against Arsenal, but I know that things have changed over the years. Still that statistic is really telling. Was wondering whether Guardiola is still suspended, but seems he is not.

Guardiola is immensely complaining about Rodri missing the game and that the referee sent him off anyway. Can't recall the foul right now, but I am sure Manchester City has someone on the bench who is just good enough to play instead of Rodri.

[Hirose UK]

There is still a big possibility that Haaland will return to being star for Manchester City in the Premier League even though for the UCL he is not as great as when he played in the Premier League but his contribution as an attacking player for Manchester City is truly extraordinary.
In the next match they will host Arsenal and in this match I want to see Haaland actually take the shot that becomes the goal to beat Arsenal.

He's still good, just unlucky that's why he not score a lot goals.

Since the league is still long, I believe Haaland will still become a top scorer because there's no one can compete him. In Liverpool, they lack of playmaker. In Arsenal, Saka is injured. There's no more extraordinary player, Hojlund? his teammates can't support him.

Haaland is still an important player for Manchester City and he is very influential in every match he plays but without scoring goals for the UCL that doesn't mean Haaland is incapable of being the best player because it is true that the League is still long and there are still enough matches left for Haaland to prove that he will not only be the best in the Premier League but also for the UCL.

From everything that Haaland has achieved it can be predicted that he can become Goat for the future and Manchester City will have star player who is truly of high value just like previously Messi for Barcelona and Ronaldo for Real Madrid.
Haaland will be their replacement in the future.

[lizarder]

After the defeat in the Champions League, this was a major blow for Arsenal, the team nicknamed the Gunners had not been defeated in several weeks, the team led by Mikel Arteta did not drag on or mourn the defeat for a long time, another match was waiting, and the schedule was so busy that players need to maintain extra stamina, there are several injured players in the Champions League, this will make Arteta worry about the next match against Manchester City, Arteta has to change tactics in the match scheme later, which player is suitable for the match later, only Arteta can know the potential of each player, playing and being supported at home creates enthusiastic motivation in chasing numbers in the Premier League standings.

Surprisingly Arsenal had to accept the defeat of a team that was far below their quality even though statistically Arsenal dominated the match, but the final settlement was not good for Arsenal in the match. Lens appeared inconsistencies in the domestic league while Arsenal still appeared quite good, but playing at home to the opponent made it difficult for Arsenal to break into the opponent's goal. The injury of some players makes conditions worse because they have a fairly crowded match schedule this season, so Arteta must be good at rotating if you don't want to get the next defeat.

Arsenal's eighth week will face the top of the standings and they will play in front of their own supporters. Facing Man City is not an easy thing even though Arsenal are currently unbeaten and I think the match will end in a draw because Arsenal will try to tackle Man City to get full points. So in my opinion the opportunity to end in a draw is still quite worth considering if you want to bet.

[rendravolt]

There has been too much discussion about the Arsenal vs Manchester City match this week that many have forgotten that tomorrow Manchester United will compete again, this time the opponent is Brentford. Statistically in H2H Manchester United is ahead with 3 wins and Brenford only managed to win 1x and that too with a landslide score. Looking at the progress of the two teams so far in the standings, of course Manchester United is a little better but they are too bad for a big EPL team. Meanwhile, Brentford, which is a mediocre team, is not surprised that they have had a bad start to the season by sitting in 14th position. I think this will be a battle for 3 points for each team and of course this will be an important match this week for both teams to determine their next position. Will Manchester United succeed in breaking the series of defeats they suffered in the previous match this time, or will Bentford continue to add to the bad record for the Red Devils by beating them at Old Trafford?

On the one hand, it’s hard for me to imagine that United will lose another match. On the other hand, there are several factors in favor of this: Brandford rested and prepared for this game, and United wasted energy in the Champions League. But the most important factor that introduces insurmountable uncertainty for me is that it seems that some players deliberately play poorly/do not try because of a conflict with the coach.

It's true, especially after losing in the Champions League, the Manchester United players don't seem to have any more motivation in the upcoming match. If only they win, this week they will definitely be enthusiastic about winning again. Currently the situation at Manchester United is quite chaotic and no one can predict when this team can return to winning ways. Even against Brentford, it is likely that they will still have difficulties even though they are favored to play at Old Trafford.

Maybe it's true that the Red Devils players don't feel at home with Erik Ten Hag, even though it's clear that Onana and Rashford are the cause of the bad results that Manchester United have had so far and Erik Ten Hag should have been more firm in benching them both first so that the situation in the dressing room could be calmer. If Erik ten Hag continues to insist on especially giving the starting place to Onana, I think this club can no longer be helped.

I just came across an article stating that Manchester City won the last 12 Premier League matches against Arsenal, but I know that things have changed over the years. Still that statistic is really telling. Was wondering whether Guardiola is still suspended, but seems he is not.

In the last season, Arsenal was a leader most of season but Manchester City began to take over a first position from Arsenal after their direct match. By losing against Lens in Champions League, Arsenal had a bad preparation for a match with Manchester City. They will play against Manchester City with not too good psychology after losing in Champions League and with pressure from recent head to head results against Manchester City, Arsenal will feel bigger pressure on their shoulders in an upcoming match.

Guardiola is immensely complaining about Rodri missing the game and that the referee sent him off anyway. Can't recall the foul right now, but I am sure Manchester City has someone on the bench who is just good enough to play instead of Rodri.

Guardiola should feel happy that he has many players to use and it is a big advantage than many other clubs and coaches in Premier League. Rodrid is important for Manchester City but as a big club, they have to go through it well and complaining won't help them to surpass this challenging time.

Meanwhile they are only in the 3rd place in the first half of this season. They already got 2 draws in the 7 early EPL matches this season.

Well, I agree that Man City is still superior, their squad looks a bit better than Arsenal. For the next match, I also still assume that Man City will win the match although it will be in Arsenal home (Emirates stadium). Even if in the last match Man City got a loss, they must have a bigger motivation to win the next match to maintain their position in the 1st place.

Right now both Arsenal and Manchester City are performing really well. Now on the upcoming match between them, it is definitely hard to predict who is going to win. But as we all know Arsenal has an injury problem with Saka. So probably that is going to give Arsenal some headaches. But I still believe that Arsenal will be able to do well in this match. They have replacements for almost any player.

But I still think that Manchester City is the team that has a better chance to win this match. After the recent loss that Manchester City had to face, they are definitely going to be very hungry for a win. That is something which Arsenal will have to keep in mind. Overall I think both teams have a chance to win in this match.

You first said that Manchester city have a better chance of winning the match, and then in the end, still turned around to say that both team have a chance of winning the match. this makes me want to ask you where exactly do you stand?.

In a football match, the game ends either a win for one team, and a loss for the other, or a draw which means that non of the team won or lost. For the coming match between Manchester city and Arsenal, it is one that is actually hard to predict, but if I am asked to with all honestly, without any sentiments, predict who would win the match, I would say that Manchester city does have a better chance of winning, even though I am personally wishing that Arsenal win the match, Arsenal should either win or let the game end in a draw, this is my wish.

I don't know what you all are thinking but from my point of view Manchester City team has started this season very badly than last season. Last season had a fantastic performance which deserves praise but the team's performance has suffered a bit since Kevin DeBruina left the team due to injury at the beginning of this season.

So what exactly is your point now based on what is being discussed?
Are you saying or of the opinion that Arsenal will beat Manchester city in their coming encounter due to their supposed under performance according to you?

Well, with all honesty, I don't know if to agree with you or not, but the fact here is that, Manchester city is currently leading in the EPL table. A team that is underperforming clearly wont be in the first position in the EPL table, the fact that they have been in that position from the very start of the season and have remained there even until this moment does show that they are doing something right, something other teams are seem not to be doing right.

Just my opinion though.

Guardiola is immensely complaining about Rodri missing the game and that the referee sent him off anyway. Can't recall the foul right now, but I am sure Manchester City has someone on the bench who is just good enough to play instead of Rodri.

I don't know where you saw Pep complaining about Rodri missing the game, i've watched all Pep's press conferences this season and after the Nottingham Forest game, Pep was actually angry at Rodri (and not the ref) for losing his head and getting sent off. Pep has been asked countless times if Rodri would be a big miss for City, and he accepted that he would be greatly missed, and of course that is true, Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world and City have missed him since he has been suspended and they will miss him on Sunday, but Pep hasn't be complaining, instead he said they will find a solution, which i'm pretty sure they will.

It is a big game on Sunday, and it is almost impossible to predict, Rodri is a big miss and i think Saka might also miss the game due to injury. City have a good run of defeating Arsenal, thus i expect it to continue.

Mikel Arteta has always done to the greatest extent to improve the Gunners, and he has a terrific reputation for the team. Defeating Manchester City in the Community Shield is one of the Gunners' notable achievements; they are currently a threat to City when they play on Sunday. Arsenal has been growing recently and is one of the EPL's most competitive clubs this season. Manchester City is the current EPL winner and the best leading team in the league. Pep Guardiola labored vigorously to ensure he got to experience the most beneficial moments with his team.
