Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[sana54210]

Arsenal continues with impressive performance after defeating Manchester City and success become Premier League team who still unbeaten and follow with Tottenham Hotspur performance without get loss yet.

Definitely an important win for Arsenal, first the cup thing and now the league game, they are really figuring out what City is doing and then abusing the weakness they have. City had only ONE shot on goal all game long, that is really the first time I saw that, I can't remember any time before where they had such a terrible game, whatever Arsenal is doing definitely is working and at this point Tottenham is leading the league and we all know that they won't continue like that, Arsenal now is ahead of City as well and at second position.

Not that it means anything, it is been just 8 games so far and I am sure that it is not going to be all that important, but we need to remember that it s going to be something that takes time to adjust. Arsenal had so many weeks in a row when they were the leader last season and still failed, who knows maybe they will end up with the same thing this season as well, so it is not like they are guaranteed at all after one win.

City have lost two English Premier league games in a row and have drooped to the third position. I am happy that Arsenal won this game because it will make the league more open and competitive. Arsenal showed the champions no respect and gave them little or no chance to control the game. The Gunners had greater ball possession and created good chances. My best player in this game is Declan Rice because he was just outstanding and has proved that he is worth his high transfer fee.  

i see Man City has 51% of the ball possession and Arsenal only has 49% of the ball possession, as the host, Arsenal really played very well and directed, Arsenal even succeeded in making 12 'shots throughout the match, the goal was scored by Martinelli in the 86th minute, Arsenal emerged victorious, Declan Rice is indeed one of the best wing midfielders in the EPL at the moment, Arsenal is lucky enough to have him, Arsenal's opponent on the next matchday is Chelsea, i'm curious whether Havertz will make another assist in next week's match.

In general, the possession of the ball in a taco match does not say much, it was obvious that the match was absolutely equal and only at the end it was possible to determine the winner. Manchester City have suffered their second consecutive defeat and have dropped to third place. Tottenham unexpectedly moved up to first place. It will be funny if they win the league right after Kane leaves.

[Jossque]

Wolves have managed to score in all but the first game in the league. Today, Wolves managed to score against Aston Villa and drew 1-1. Aston Villa were too tired from Europe to focus much on the game. Obviously they could have scored more goals but it didn't happen.
In the last match of the day, we saw 2 championship hopefuls sharing the title. The match was an average match so obviously neither team played very well. City dominated the first half but Arsenal took the upper hand in the second half. Arsenal managed to get the benefit of their pressure with a goal in the last minutes and gave their opponent their 2nd defeat in the league.

[Cookdata]

EPL this round ended up with weird results starting]from the victory of teams that failed in past like Chelsea and Manchester United then the failure of top teams like Manchester City and the draw of Liverpool and Newcastle.
Arsenal managed to get 3 points from Manchester City after scoring a late goal. City didn't play well in this match and gunners deserved to win.
The table right now look interesting with Spurs and Arsenal in the lead followed by Manchester City and Liverpool. With every round, we will see a different table for a while tho.

Both Arsenal and manchester city played woefully in today's clash, perhaps it's because both teams are suffering from injury set back in their key players. The absence of KDB in Manchester city squad has reveal a lot about Man city and the impact is obvious. Haaland who's known to be goal machine has silently go off and ghost himself in big games. He was completely a minus today for city. I don't know what's wrong with Pep when he decides to subbed off Alvarez who's been making some attempt instead of Haaland.
 

Is it not fair to say that Manchester City and Arsenal are equal in players that were absent? Kelvin Bruyne wasn't around which happrb to be one of their great Midfielder but Arsenal also has Saka that was absent as well which is Arsenal main project and favorite as winger, what more do we need to measure standard of this match between Arsenal and Manchester City. Each teams on both ends played nicely but Arsenal were able to change the mood of the match in end of second half that led them to Manchester City with a goal to nill.

On Arsenal side, injury has taken down their major wingers and it affected their performance too. Jorginho deserves some applaud for his performance today as he hold the midfield together. Arsenal goal keeper lacks confidence and it'll be very dangerous to give him back pass. He would have caused Arsenal downfall today but lucky enough, they managed to get the late winning goal.

However, the league is still fresh to talk about the table but who knows if this is Spurs season? Lol

Jorgino deserve some hand shake and a hug but don't forget the effort of Rice, he was there at every place providing good support in converting pressure to long passes for the forward men,  his today performance gave him man of the match and I must say that it's a deserving award for him and Arsenal today.

Arteta is a smart manager to say, he watch his men played against Manchester City all the time but after watch Trossard the whole time and he was quick to notice he is the one is not doing much for the club and immediately he substituted him with Martineli, a goal was score in the second half.

Actually, the competition is very tight. However, Arenal does have a bigger chance, here they can attack Man City's defense more than Man City. It could be said that Arsenal's midfielders contributed very well by supporting the front players. The only goal by Martinelli in the minutes made it a prestigious victory for Arsenal, because after all, this match was a very prestigious match, beating Man City. No matter what the score, winning is still winning.

On the other hand, some matches in the EPL are not very satisfying. Like Newcastle, I think they will win, because they have just played so impressively in the UCL. However, it only ended in a 2-2 draw. West Ham was able to hold Newcastle who were on fire to a draw, very good.

[JoyMarsha]

Hmmm... I hope this is not just a victory, but a whole turning point in the current season. If you look at the game schedule, you can see that by this time City’s game calendar was quite easy (at least easier than that of their opponents). And now they have fewer points than Arsenal and Tottenham. I hope that in future more difficult games City will continue to lose points and some other club will win the title.
I'm really looking forward to the bookmakers' quotes - to be fair, Arsenal should already be the favorite.

The fact that Manchester City lost to Arsenal is a clear indication that they will be unable to retain their premier league crown season after season. I sincerely doubt that Manchester City will once again be a premier league powerhouse. Premier League teams are starting to figure out how to neutralize Manchester City's dominating strategies in every game. Currently, Haaland is playing less effectively in games as a result of Kelvin Bruyne's injury absence. Those lovely passes that Manchester City employs to score against their opponent are not being made by anyone on the team.

[Oluwa-btc]

Tottenham really made a big surprise, the majority of EPL fans didn't think they could be unbeatable in the hands of this new coach, i wonder how long Tottenham will be at the top of the EPL standings, it seems Pep Guardiola has to use a new strategy.

8 games in the Premier League and no one lost, this are 1st place in the league. I think that Harry Kane currently congratulate his ex teammates. He is in 3rd place in the German League. Who would have thought that Manchester loses today. The next two top games are on 04.11. against Chelsea and 02.12. against Manchester City. Heung-Min Son is with 31 years one of the most important players at Tottenham, in 8 games he scored 6 goals.

When giving praises, do well to praise who's worthy. Son Heung - Min have been praised why not so same for James Madison? Just like KDB Said, he wants to see him at a top club before he rates him higher.
Son has only been a better nine/ striker and that's because he has a very good attacking midfielder ( James Madison )
Madison has been so busy creating chances, I watched him so closely for the first time as they locked horn with Luton Town on Saturday to go top of the Premier League Table.

No need mocking Harry Kane, he was never the problem with the squad. He did score twenty plus goals for that club almost every season he shouldn't be disrespected. He will have a great season regardless with Bayern Munich.

Apart from Kevin DeBruyne that was injured, Rodri is another Man City influencial player that was out due to Red card against Wolves meanwhile Guordiola allowed Gundogan and Mahrez to be sold thus his action had created a big vacuum in the club thus the club won't be able to defend their title this season with just few matches played they had lost two matches back.to back which is indeed a big blow to the team having considered plenty matches to be played and I am very sure they can't win of their remaining matches

[EFS]

Thanks to Martinelli, that goal was much needed. Finally Arsenal beat Manchester City. The more important thing is, they didn't give many positions to City. That means City is not an unbeateble team. When you play with right tactics and give your all, you can beat them.
Spurs and Gunners have same points now. City is 2 points behind. The league will be very long, the team that maintains continuity comes forward. It's important to have a winning streak and win big games like that. Everything looks alright for Arsenal now.

[bitpotter]

I thought Aston Villa would win easily in this match but it seems I was wrong because Wolves were much better prepared to face them after beating Manchester City last week. Even though in the end Wolves failed to win again, a draw was better than nothing at all. Aston Villa, who were so favored in the match, could not do what they should and their chance to overtake Liverpool also failed.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I expected Liverpool sharing points with Brighton but I wasn't having enough balls to stake on the game,  though I managed to go with both team scoring.
 Wolves Aston Villa was very clear to me and I selected that for a full time draw result.

As for me, I know it will never be easy for either team, but I was expecting Liverpool to win the match because I thought Brighton was a little bit down on form because of their last match against Aston Villa, where they lost 6-1. But seriously, I saw today that Brighton is not really down in form but just weak against Aston Villa after making some mistakes. I also predicted that both teams would score, but I really thought that Liverpool would win.
 
For the Wolves match against Aston Villa I did not really attempt to predict the match because I know it will be a tough match, and with that, I believe anything can happen at end, so I did not bother myself and stake in the game because this is the kind of game that leads to goalless some time because it is a two-average team match or even with many goals. 
 

Without Bias, I've always wanted Arsenal to win the Premier League last season but they got the Premier League ursurped by Manchester City.
Today, I'm still down for Manchester City dropping points. Arsenal should win this game with three goals to one.

Last season, almost everyone thought that Arsenal would be the Premier League winner due to their great performances from the beginning of the season to some stages, but toward the end of the season, Arsenal started losing form, and easily Manchester City used the opportunity to win the Premier League. As for today's game, I never think that Arsenal will be able to win Manchester City, despite the fact that Manchester City is not in that good shape due to some injury issues with some players, especially De-Bruyne, their great midfielder, but seriously, Arsenal tried their best and won the three points from Manchester City.

[Ryu_Ar1]

The current EPL is unique, with outstanding performances from these elite teams. Congratulations on the Gunners' stimulating triumph over City; that's remarkable momentum. Mikel Arteta has proven football fans wrong by defeating his previous boss in today's game, emphasizing that maintaining consistency is paramount. Arsenal won after a long and difficult day at the Emirates Stadium. I would blame City's poor performance on a lack of passion to put pressure on the Gunners, who were brilliant; perhaps City's primary players remained unavailable.

Surprises always happen and it's quite difficult to see how the EPL will continue because in recent weeks there always seems to be surprises on display.
In this match Arsenal deserved to win but what bugged me was that Manchester City did not seem to play like Manchester City in the previous few matches.
They are really chaotic in terms of their schemes and attacks are not directed, the absence of midfielders as attack organisers makes Manchester City overwhelmed to face Arsenal this week and this is quite unfortunate when Rodri and Arteta are not in the squad Manchester City lose their spirit as the master of the field.

[Raflesia]

Initially, I expected both teams to tie points but After that, I saw 3 draws coming from the results of the early games before the Arsenal vs City match, It became certain to me that the Arsenal-Manchester City game would be a no-draw game but I was hoping that Manchester City would have won in the game.

Kelvin De Bruyne's absence was felt very much in the game and Manchester City's side couldn't create much of a chance, leaving Haaland unfeded with passes that resulted in a city not performing as expected in this game.
Arsenal did incredibly well towards the end of the match and therefore deserves this victory.

The absence of several midfielders such as KDB and Rodri in this Manchester City squad has slightly made them lose their focus.
A few weeks ago when there was no KDB it was actually still under control because there was Rodri who was in midfield as an attack organiser for Manchester City but when Rodri was not in the squad everything became different where in this match Manchester City was like a chicken losing its mother. There was no attack with mature passes. Haaland was also locked out because he didn't get a decent ball supply and Arsenal were better prepared despite the absence of Saka in their squad but they were better so I think in this match Arsenal deserved 3 points.

[Lillominato89]

Well, if currently De Gea is still Man United's goalkeeper. I think he should be better than Onana. The performance that Onana had when he was defending Inter Milan was completely different from the performance of Onana who is now defending Man United. While at Inter Milan I have to admit that Onana was a very good goalkeeper. But when he made his debut at Man United I immediately saw that Onana had lost his good instincts as a goalkeeper. He makes mistakes too often.

I think Man United does have problems on the front line and also at the back. And the reason I think is still the same as last season. Namely the chemistry between the players is not good at the moment. At the start of last season something like this also happened. But from the middle of the season Man United started to return to their best performance and the chemistry between the players got better towards the middle of the season. Maybe this season will be the same.

Onana at Inter was covered by one of the best defenses that can be found in Europe, but he is and was an excellent goalkeeper, however in his year at Inter Onana started as a reserve for Handanovic to help him settle into the Italian championship, instead of Manchester United was immediately elected starting goalkeeper, furthermore in the Premier League all the teams are very inclined to play in attack and pay less attention to the defensive phase, I believe that the difficulty that Onana is having in the Premier League is due to this, but when will he settle in for good I'm sure he will return to being the excellent goalkeeper we saw at Inter

That's right, hopefully Onana can adapt quickly. But it seems that there is a very big difference between the Italian League and the Premier League. So it is difficult for Onana to be able to show the maximum abilities he has like when he was at Inter Milan. But the dramatic victory achieved by Man United yesterday was truly surprising. The first goal in the match against Brentford was actually caused by the panic shown by Man United's defenders. And Onana didn't succeed in being a savior because his view was slightly obstructed by the player. But I was happy because in the end 2 goals at the end of the match turned things around and made Man United win the match.

Exactly, everyone blames Onana for the goal conceded, but in reality he has very little to blame, he had his vision covered by his defender, but in general there was confusion in the area on the part of his defenders and Onana was unable to save the shot, if he had saved that shot it would have been an extraordinary save and we would all have applauded André. It's a shame that for the English press Onana is becoming the scapegoat because of the goals conceded, but for me the blame should be placed on the entire Manchester United defense

-snip-

Today neither Arsenal nor Manchester City played the way a Premiere League title winner should play. About Manchester City, I'm sure their performance will improve quickly, but can Arsenal improve their level to win the PL? I don't believe in it, especially after losing the title last year.

[nurilham]

i see Man City has 51% of the ball possession and Arsenal only has 49% of the ball possession, as the host, Arsenal really played very well and directed, Arsenal even succeeded in making 12 'shots throughout the match, the goal was scored by Martinelli in the 86th minute, Arsenal emerged victorious, Declan Rice is indeed one of the best wing midfielders in the EPL at the moment, Arsenal is lucky enough to have him, Arsenal's opponent on the next matchday is Chelsea, i'm curious whether Havertz will make another assist in next week's match.

If you check again the stats, Man City won the ball possessions 52% and Arsenal only got 48% of the ball possessions. There is no significant difference between Man City and Arsenal, the match is quite equal if we consider the ball possessions. But it is very clear that Arsenal is superior if we check the shot attempts because Arsenal made 12 shot attempts, meanwhile Man City only got 4 shot attempts. It is because Man City missed the Bruyne who has a big role in managing the attacking. It is very different with Arsenal because their all key players can play at the match.

Well, Decline Rice played well during the match. But anyway, he is a defensive midfielder, he isn't a wing midfielder.

[Hyphen(-)]

Is it not fair to say that Manchester City and Arsenal are equal in players that were absent? Kelvin Bruyne wasn't around which happrb to be one of their great Midfielder but Arsenal also has Saka that was absent as well which is Arsenal main project and favorite as winger, what more do we need to measure standard of this match between Arsenal and Manchester City. Each teams on both ends played nicely but Arsenal were able to change the mood of the match in end of second half that led them to Manchester City with a goal to nill.

The two teams have equal players and both have the same problem of missing players in the match; KDB and Rodri were the key men that were missing in the Manchester City side, while Arsenal played without their two main wingers, Saka and Martinelli, who came up in the second half.

Arsenal were able to solve some problems they were facing last season, which was squad depth. They can now play comfortably without some of their key players in the field and have a perfect result, while Manchester City's benched players are not as good as they used to be in the previous seasons, which I am sure will affect their title chase this season.

Arteta is a smart manager to say, he watch his men played against Manchester City all the time but after watch Trossard the whole time and he was quick to notice he is the one is not doing much for the club and immediately he substituted him with Martineli, a goal was score in the second half.

Arteta knew that Manchester City attackers were waiting for Arsenal defenders to make any errors, which is why he told the players to calm down and play perfectly to avoid mistakes. He also did a late substitution, which means he was waiting to see Pep's next plan in order to tackle the plan and get the desired result. That is why he made the last three substitutions, which changed the game entirely.

For the first time since 2015 Arsenal were able to beat Manchester City in an English Premier League game thanks to substitute Gabriel Martinelli strike in the closing minutes of their crucial encounter. After over 80 minutes of play, the looked like it was gonna end in stalemate but Mikel Arteta's substitute who has just returned from injury proved to be the difference. The eruption from the stands at the Emirates stadium after that Martinelli's goal was a true testament that Arsenal fans had waited for a moment like that for a very long time. Arsenal are now joint top of the league table with their north London neighbors Tottenham Hotspur.

According to the stats it looked like the game should have ended in a draw, but Arsenal played better and got a deserved win.

Kovacic should have been dismissed with a red card in the 35th minute. The referee was really generous to him. Also, after Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, I don't think Kovacic is the right man for Manchester City. They need a more technical player in midfield. The chemistry of the team seems to be broken. Also, Nathan Ake was one of the best in the game but he made a very unfortunate touch on the ball and turned Martienelli's weak shot into a goal.

Manchester City are starting to make me pessimistic about the title this season. Where are you Keviiiiiin! :)

Manchester City off course did great but in this game, I saw they had fewer shorts on target. They created chances but not enough to score or be on target.

Pep Guardiola and his midfied was boring, the entire game was also boring not until the second half where we saw more of a lively game.
The substitution made by Mikel Arteta locked the midfied up. Thomas Partey, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice made sure to work together to keep the three points.
Arsenal deserves the win, they made sure they held Manchester City from opening them up.
